with today's news and the week's top stories this isn't see george's spy guns as a child his high profile photographer is with snoopy from all scales but skeptics say it's an anti russian image who stood by president saakashvili. it's degradation of people hungry to chose a return to to hate squared to vent against the interim leaders they say stole their revolution. also change of tune by germany after greece to boost maters of weapons stocks to be decent libya despite opposing the military offensive from the start. because the front page of britain's best selling newspaper rolls out for the

last time as rupert murdoch sacrifices the title with phone hacking claims and reporter read in terms of pride also a. true one zero one lift god cheers and tears as atlantis makes the shuttle leaves final flight but it leaves a black hole for the turns which phrase to bring now that nasa is meeting. under a very warm welcome from all of us here in moscow this is our cheesy weekly review and we starting georgia with three hard core fans that can refuse have been charged with spying for moscow to release it claims it has video confessions to prove their goals but skeptics say to hell saakashvili is on a witch hunts to score political points off his tongue bottle reports now on what's being seen as anti russian hype. georgia is on

a spy role and not for the first time this time the spotlights been shined on those usually behind the camera for photographers were arrested on thursday on suspicion of spying who was there suppose it must but first georgian authorities didn't say who they thought the lead spies were working for but a day later they did russia in turn that moscow has accused georgia of paranoid the georgians are so quick to stick a spy label on to anyone they get is just a level of democracy and it has been no it is not just by russia but their various key international organizations like the un one of the photographers was released without charge the other three were charged with espionage and will remain in pretrial custody for two months one of them has gone on hunger strike and protest. however georgian president mikheil saakashvili is personal photographer has

reportedly made a video confession admitting to spying for russia opposition figures are skeptical he worked there i think not the only thing that i actually like you and they haven't read a small child enjoyed your time to time where everything has handled fact that no real go out there and we never saw any kind of real human patients that government think through this isn't the first time this has happened last year thirteen people were arrested and accused of being on russia's payroll earlier this week nine of them received sentences of up to fourteen years in prison for the georgian government this is a matter of national security but others in georgia are very critical of what they see as particular. political calculation if you are. actually. you are. you are. if you want to go. there is no democracy rights because those. russian who's never.

who are slightly by your mind. completely must know deal with the most serious about occasions spying it has a neighbor with its relations are rock bottom and it has some men in jail but many are questioning whether this is really about justice or about politics from bottom to. egypt's prime minister is vowing to fight any member of the security forces accused of killing protesters during the uprising that toppled former president hosni mubarak a statement comes after problems of egyptians turns out for the biggest rally in months and get over the slow pace of prosecuting officials and reforms that people say they will keep fighting until they see change anything now or is that the software. egypt's uprising might have ousted president mubarak but to them he's far from gone thousands of people out here on top here they all see different visions

of egypt but they join together because the people we've spoken to feel like their revolution has been still there we go through of mobile so that my books people should just leave them where the taste of freedom go short lived the military is in full power mass media is being choked and oppression still rampant worse than before i think they werent catching activists as much as they are doing now and take them to a prison and i guess now they're being really violently want to kill that evolution this tool that in the first place he's known simply as uncle has been here in egypt a social network or with a twitter army of some thirty thousand followers the military throws of civilians have to stop immediately immediately this is you know one of the major commands we're putting forward one of many demands including transparent trials for the fallen regime and the purging of corrupt officials they got rid of mubarak you know

other high ranking officials but now egypt the same way it was before january sort of got that little officials a little mubarak so mean americans rather what they're offering them are running the country people like myself have been arguing for taking the high you to the factories thinking behind you to the universities thinking perhaps the work places meaning that in every single word police we have an egypt that is amenable now water was never interested in politics in till january she was shot with twenty three pellets by riot police twenty of which are still in her like the pain is finally gone but her perseverance is not the barrier of fear is gone and she will continue to fight to the end i was. every every egyptian citizen to be treated as a human being every play chances are has their own vision of the egypt they're

fighting for some want a constitution then free elections others think the new laws should follow their vote but one thing that brings them all together is that this egypt is not here. and he's in no way are cheap. plenty more stories are coming your way this hour here in our c including just before the anniversary of europe's worst massacre since the north sea travels to tripoli so where people are still in search of justice. that's later right now rebels in libya are battling part of government forces on the road to tripoli they're now moving towards that key town of the time after a six week long on parts but the capital still remains over one hundred fifty kilometers away could rebels say their progress has been slow due to their lack of ammunition and nato support and there have been suggestions that the alliance is running low on that south and has asked germany for munitions reports now on the

length surprised after opposing the mission from the outset. more bombs wanted just over one hundred days of airstrikes and with just over two thousand bombs dropped by nato allies on libya the mission has run into an unexpected problem a lack of shells to drop where there is demand there is supply in this case germany has agreed to provide much needed ammunition previously berlin has abstained from voting in favor of the un security council resolution on libya a move that surprised some and good others but it may now be backing out of a decision the germans may not want to participate but they have decided that the position does not preclude them actually supplying weapons in this case or systems some believe germany is under pressure from other nato members particularly the u. . it states france and the u.k. to take a more active part in the libyan campaign at first our. ministries toward the

foreign affairs minister don't go into libya it's a very bad conflict it was started by the cia and it's a dirty business don't go there so this is why you voted with russia and china now the backlash from washington is so tough obviously we are under pressure to do something to make up for this decision aside from peer pressure germany may be alerted by the possible financial benefits of making its weapons available for natives use in libya probably germany will get paid for delivering these arms to other countries but that is normal practice between the nato countries. out of the twenty eight nato members only eight are actively participating in libya with civilian deaths to which need to recently admitted to a shortage of weapons and the ever relentless more market duffy still at the helm the coalition may be facing just the beginning of its problems. berlin is in

a tough spot on the one hand it has disappointed nato by refusing to support the mission in libya in march on the other by agreeing to supply bombs it may now lose friends in other places and whatever the real reasons for its contradictory policy may be germany could find that by trying to please everyone it may end up pleasing no one in a ghost party. and after franklin lanfear america's concern for middle east peace says bombing leaders population is only uniting people behind colonel qadhafi. the pounding out needlessly puts the population on edge it increases anxiety and anger if nato is trying to weaken the regime it seems to me that as history teaches us would be a bomb a population it's often the unite behind the government of the day and rather than breaking the connection between the people and the leadership it seems to increase

it was a mistake obama election may be on the line cannot afford a defeat and the victory comes like it's supposed to be as in saddam and osama you've gotta kill the bad guy so it looks to us like it's now a game of targeting the leadership otherwise nato ruses if nato ruses the consequences are enormous there's enormous trillion dollar financial consequences for those members of the nato countries who are seen as aggressors and invaders here so the feeling is the car to do something the only thing they can do possibly to achieve a victory is either assassinate and some of the circle ordinance and to do that they might have to come on the ground. elsewhere in the troubled middle east the syrian government is opening talks with opposition activists to discuss the possibility of reforms but some leading rivals and prominent campaigners are not that in the meantime mass demonstrations erupted across the country outside at

killing at least thirteen people tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets calling for president bashar al assad to step down so the protests began in march a government crackdown has had close more than seventeen hundred demonstrators here is that we should foreign minister told r.t. if any of the countries are friends from the west and we found in disaster. serious position has been clearly articulated and the global community is aware of the military force in syria hands so even if the west is thinking of it to be mean we would advise them not to syria is the key to the balance at least if any mathematician general fantasy or drive is really guilty of disaster western countries are one of very that's never been asked to keep hating arabs and syria in particular was about political stuff not me i was really kind of it because of those events of success not progress on the reform struggle through under the leadership but as an actual example what happened in syria really expected to spread like an academic across other our countries in order to weaken israel and of

course to what he knows that civilization supremacy values that the mindsets that want us that are very carefully signals west wants from especially recently and i must say that in the truth they do not wish as well. and you can see the full interview with syria's deputy foreign minister in about twenty minutes time so stay tuned for that. our passenger ferry with one hundred seventy three people on board has sunken the revolving russia's republic of trying to stand on persons learn to have died but bear also conflicting reports as to how many people are missing. three kilometers from the shore where the area where the river why. into a delta nearby a vessel came to the rescue of the stricken ship to help sell to help save those on board reports suggest the weather conditions are to blame for this sinking the emergence ministry has opened a special investigation center into the incident. and let's check some other

answer and it's still. not it was not false is longstanding in unity among britain's political elite. i think something changed this week you know for decades british prime ministers have been only needs to go to the murdoch press because they knew that when the sun which is his main daily newspaper here in britain when the sun supported by british politician running for prime ministership you know they wanted and then you'd find in the next day you'd find that prime minister reading the sun looking like an idiot saying well there's some got me elected i mean you could this is the meaning of democracy is that initiates democracy really which the murdoch press was that part of it but i think it was a for silence as well because important people needed the murdoch press and they couldn't be they couldn't attack it because of that and i think a line was crossed rupert murdoch has a very finely tuned business brain he has a lot of things going on now one of them is to purchase the largest satellite

network in britain called the sky. decision is about to be approved by the government that was in jeopardy i think he felt that as a businessman he had to sacrifice the news of the world because it in terms of the whole news international it's a tiny part of all that the political class had been sucking up to rupert murdoch for so many years including prime minister david cameron he now has to stand back and say no i can't do it anymore it's going to. be former bosnian serb general accused of ordering the shah bringing some last days likely to have a new legal team to represent him i behaved rats cannot really disruptive to his second hearing the raising charges for not allowing him to have lawyers present but many sets feel the notorious general trial will not bring the full justice. explains. the quiet little town of sibling meets in bosnia and herzegovina looks a jilek you houses are being built people go about their business and in the center of the town a mosque and tourch sit side by side but this apparent unity is an illusion sixty

years ago the entire region was torn apart by ethnic clashes during the yugoslav war instead of became infamous when the united nations stated eight thousand muslim men and boys were massacred by bosnian serb forces today and immoral for the deceased sits in the grounds of a former un military base a celebrity it's a memorial ground as well maintained and frequently visited by locals journalists and tourists get passed down from the bosnian capital of. the tourist aren't shown by the thousands of serbian graves that line cemeteries all around stepping into region. thousands of people were killed during the balkan wars of the one nine hundred ninety s. but senators like these with entire families of murdered serb civilians only get visited by the very few remaining survivors but only comes here all the time his entire family lives here he says i was me

a muslim general is responsible so you know i was only nine years old when this had already struck away everything i had in life first to kill my mother then my father and brother i was wounded and taken captive they held me for fifty six days and only god knows how or why i survived. but even though that on a survived his loss just like that of thousands of people here is being ignored. i was at the hague tribunal and i was supposed to be a witness in his trial but in the end me and about thirty other witnesses were simply cast aside they didn't call us didn't ask what have been through our families and the tribunal only gave him two years in prison. the balkan war so heinous atrocities visited an old sites and perpetrated by all players but the version most often propagated by western media is rather one sided ingraining the serbs. to. create

a rationale for humanitarian interventions which. occurred in considerable number. of circuits so that so-called precedent can be traced through the years and into today's headlines bosnia iraq afghanistan and most recently libya have all played unwilling host to nato troops and u.s. imposed no fly zones it is very important in the creation of a scenario for make sure when the mindful call. was drawn assad was programmed to go but for whatever reason so called international community do anything about it. some might say the journey from said we need such a benghazi via baghdad and kabul could now be traced as

a kind of nato road map but as with any road paved with good intentions there is only one possible destination carriers are the r.t.e. bosnia and herzegovina. nasa shuttle atlantis is making its fire the final way to the international space station for the very last time making the end to the space shuttle era it's carrying four american astronauts and several tons of vital supplies within a few hours atlantis is expected to make its final hookup with the international space station distrust voyager and america's space shuttle history is a painful time for many who have devoted their lives to the thirty year program as if he's going to educate them forty seconds into the system empty shells of what was once florida's thriving space coast. up to ten thousand people will be out of a job as soon as the last shuttle makes its final voyage back to earth home to many

of the kennedy space center workers rock which is on the verge of becoming a ghost town without the space program or pretty much nothing i mean this is what you know because it reaches built on the space program you know it's like if you're going to be sorry me. people are left and right stand in sydney chris a fully spent twenty three years with the shuttle launch team as an engineer with a plan to splicing our for its final mission it means the end of his career with nasa and the beginning of uncertainty a year ago he started looking for a new job to no avail i have applied for jobs and so far i haven't gotten any concrete responses there's not that many jobs out there for sure the u.s. scrap that shuttle program and now once the private sector to come up with ways to get astronauts to space several companies are working on new vehicles but it's not clear when they'll be able to deliver them one thing is certain though they'll be able to hire only

a fraction of the skilled space industry workers will be out of work this is the first shuttle ever it never made it to space but it was used for tests before the columbia shuttle first launch into space in 1980's. a total of five shuttles have been used for space missions says that two of them were last thing tragic accidents a nine hundred eighty six and in two thousand and three those lawsuits and the skyrocketing price for each launch gradually lurched to the cancellation of the program but critics say it's hard to estimate the losses that the end of the shuttle program will bring about both for the space industry and the people involved i think it's a really bad thing for the united states to lose the skilled workforce it's going to be difficult to rebuild it three years the shuttle has been the only vehicle that could very crew and a massive load of cargo to space officials say one of the reasons the program was scrapped is that it's safer and cheaper to send cargo and people separately

something that russia for example has been doing for many years but whatever the reasons for scrapping the thirty year old program for those who devoted their lives to it is the end of their dream job kind of sad because i've already seen a lot of my friends go you know they're going more people they're probably never see again it also means the end of a once vibrant scientific community that's grown up around the shuttle going to shirk on r.t.e. . russia welcomes a young minds from around the world to need some accounting opportunity to make dreams come true the future of politics and business is up for discussion and the brightest ideas could even find investors. has gone on a trip around the county to file this report. they're young they're enthusiastic and they want to make best sense in idyllic surroundings the twenty eleven seliger international youth forum brings together representatives from seventeen nations to
