diaries sean hoare was the first former news of the world journalists to go on the record to allege that phone hacking was endemic at the paper and that its editor and he calls an actively encouraged it paul was found dead in his house on monday setting the blogosphere into a frenzy of comparisons with the case of dr david kelly why isn't the sean hoare story bigger reminds me how dr david kelly was gone off eerily similar tragedies of seen war and david kelly all this madness and more than that it can only show who are that's what i'm thinking something's not right. talk to kelly was the u.n. weapons inspector who first cast doubt on the government's claim that iraq could deploy weapons of mass destruction within forty five minutes it led to scrutiny of tony blair's decision to invade iraq it was british journalist andrew gilligan who david kelly had spoken to to publicize his belief that the forty five minute claim

had been exaggerated gilligan believes there are similarities between kelly and short haul being at the center of one of these storms a terrifying experience i really don't believe either david all sure was murdered because. i simply don't think it would have been in anyone's interest to murder them once they got into the public spotlight anyone with an iota of sense of government would have known that to kill them would just would just amplify the story i think it's simply i think both were under enormous pressure from their roles as whistle blows. and found it difficult to cope with that pressure. evidence could have been crucial to proving that the news of the world editors supported a culture of listening to private voice mail sport stories because former editor andy kaufman he later became a media director to the current prime minister has always denied the allegations and was destroyed professionally by abuse international or the journalistic world in london is a very small amount was

a story as well known. drinking too much taking drugs he was the protester. police this thing called death doesn't appear suspicious and they're looking at suicide dr kelly's death was also recorded as suicide although many including leading doctors and m.p.'s have never accepted that their suspicions of hardly be quelled by the fact that post-mortem reports and other evidence has been classified for seventy years so ten arrests six resignations two convictions and one death that told of the phone hacking scandal so far. the key player in this scandal has raised questions but so far only. see it's being reported as a horrible and unfortunate coincidence but it's doubtful that if it happened elsewhere say in russia or in india the british media would be so quick to accept it as ok wait states particularly gets out in the light of the death of david kelly

you were and. was able to cameron's clothes toys we've used corporation and his efforts to head off the crisis could yet take a toll on him and his government according to british blogger. what really gave the story legs was the fact that david cameron. the then disgraced. cosen because. communications i don't think without without that kind of. legs given to the story i think it probably wouldn't have been quite as it is now but the fact is there's been some errors of judgment times out there and the governing conservative party but deployments david cameron yes again his chief of staff has been shown to be essentially instigating a cover up by the connections because you have to sort of phone hacking and making sure that the prime minister of the opposition david cameron did know about it it's been a large amount of fingers it isn't just the kind of heads in the sand and that is

lethal for prime minister and he's now in a real fight he isn't a real really bad situation he could well be looking at some serious consequences for himself apparently still around him. well that's still to come in the program finding the man behind the drones u.k. in pakistan a human rights groups want to press charges for unmanned attacks educating hundreds of civilians are going after a cia legal director who approved the strikes. and used up allies soldiers who fought for israel in the war against lebanon punning themselves stuck in a country that's forgotten their existence. serbian authorities have announced the arrest of one hundred the country's last remaining when war crimes speech to him is being sought for atrocities ranging from murder to religious persecution during the conflict immigration and. the early ninety's for the rest of

that it sure until by the hague trodden with a similar crimes blocking service drive to overcome obstacles and it's great to join you on this let's cross live now to john laughlin very interesting the institute of democracy corp the line from paris there are joining us now for almost a decade a former serbian in the years i've enjoyed safe haven in serbia while we witnessing so many arrests now do you think. i have to say it's very difficult to know exactly why the same mystery really surrounds the arrest of. the former commander of the bosnian serb army which was you know. only a few weeks ago after he'd been on the run for a decade and a half it's not clear at all what events have led to these sudden arrests what is clear is as you said in your question that serbia the republic of serbia wants these men handed over in order to remove obstacles to joining the european union

that's absolutely clear the government in belgrade has been determined to do this for a long time and for whatever reason it is now come up with two notable successive successes at least in its own terms well now that he has been arrested there will we see serbia joining the e.u. soon do you think oh not soon no i mean. e.u. membership takes a very long time even when obstacles like this have been cleared out of the way these arrests might enable serbia to become a candidate country but there's a long time lapse between becoming a candidate country and becoming a member states that can last. decades turkey for instance became a candidate country many many years ago and its membership is still a long way in the future at the same goes for croatia yes i mean given only save enjoining very sorry he did what you say and do you think the e.u.

is likely to set up further conditions for serbia's membership. well not and not the ones related to crimes no i think these two finally clear out the those obstacles but as i say the process of e.u. accession is extremely cumbersome and involves negotiations that typically last years is a concern huge questions like economic regulations labor law. customs duties and so on and they are very cumbersome and they last many years that they won't know there won't be any more obstacles in terms of cooperation with the hague tribunal no now has it sure was the last major war crimes if you get it is he they lost on serbia's ones at least he's the certainly the last major one on serb on the list that the hague wants from serbia yes it really does draw a line under the whole process now the hague tribunal is intended to bind up its

operations in the next few years because me and with the trials of right of and carriages the leader of the bosnian serb republic and now had the leader who eventually became leader of the serbian republic of crimea that is to say the serb held territories within creation of these prosecutions will indeed now draw a line under the hague operations interestingly had it prosecuted for acts committed right at the very beginning of the breakup of yugoslavia in the summer and late part of one thousand nine hundred one even before you could flavia had actually broken up you could love you didn't formally break up until early one thousand nine hundred two so his trial will concern the events which occurred right at the beginning of the breakup when the war was essentially between serbia and croatia. you know why this says then is serbia succeeding in its attempts to improve its political image on the international stage. well i'm not

sure that it is i i don't i've never been a supporter of this. vile policy towards the hague tribunal or indeed towards the european union in general it's my view that i've expressed many times that the hague tribunal is a politically rigged court whose trials are a disgrace to the principles of a process and i moreover think that the prosecutions that have been brought against serbian. indictees are quality of lead different and more aggressive than those that have been brought against other nationalities including against croats and i don't think that you do gain. in your in you don't improve your image by effectively admitting as belgrade has done as the present government in belgrade has done that serbia's role in the breakup of yugoslavia was quality of lee worse than that of the other states it's not my view and i think we see this in the in the that you switched what was happening when you could solve it was breaking up

was that militias were being formed in the nation and then later among the serbs in croatia so first among the kurds and among the serbs and there was fighting between needs militias and the army because the territory was still part of yugoslavia tried to interpose itself between the two there was a great town of law and order and and and the civil war and the hague tribunal has tried to turn this into a joint criminal enterprise planned by serbia to conquer parts of creation but this accusation in my view is complete nonsense and so by corporation with the hague on it belgrade is in a sense only lending credence to this in my view very biased view of the breakup of yugoslavia ok we have to leave it there for the hour john laughlin the director of the institute of the workers and cooperation there in paris for us thank you for that. well george's latest

saga has taken yet another twist tbilisi now says three photojournalists locked up on charges of espionage on behalf of russia have confessed their guilt was artie's really political reports there are concerns that the suspects were coerced into admitting crimes they didn't commit. and then there were in on the last georgian photographer to deny allegations of spying has apparently changed his story he now admits the charges video testimony of georgie have a lot of his confession of spying for russia was released by prosecutors to the media but most journalists are skeptical of this latest development per hour. so all of this is very strange and there is in the middle of the night out and this is a case is a mark is that. all of these raises questions are not getting any answers and this confession is a serious case reviews are because with doubts about this whole deal. you will get balance and maintains his innocence ever since he along with three other

photojournalists was arrested at the beginning of a smile on old including president mikhail saakashvili his personal photographer were accused of passing on top secret information to russia's military intelligence initially insisted they were innocent and then one by one the photographers started changing their testimonies eventually three of them incriminating themselves in his ten oz but up the odds they insist he was not guilty and even went on hunger strike to provoke this point impact his lawyer says the photographer seems to have changed his mind over the space of just said minutes and that's led to questions over the circumstances under which the photographer seems to have changed his story managing editor of ali a newspaper dimity gods it believes these admissions of guilt show the case has been bad repeated turner we live in a totalitarian state and to date all current is concentrated in the hands of

president saakashvili and if someone goes against him and all of us will end up like this if the interior ministry had any other proof of their guilt he wouldn't have to force these confessions i took them but what they were basically this is a message for all of us journalists including me and all the. members of the new. i heard the message loud and clear and stage a protest outside the jail where three to talk affairs are being held and preliminary detention human rights activists meanwhile believe hardly expect the system of power in the country i'll get around it because it's very likely that abdel odds are will be forced to ask for my removal from the case investigators want everyone who can interfere out of the picture so they can lead the way they want to know they want the case of the photographers trend without any public discussion and that's possible if all the rest of plead guilty. and well the case seems outrageous to journalists and really ordinary people it's just the latest in

a seemingly endless string of spies scandals to hit georgia. r.t. . and you can find more background on how the georgians try starting one folded on our website let's party dot com demolition got one crania female activists show their support for georgia photographers. also online a cat lovers could soon be seen worshipping on the mass of mosque gets its time temple dedicated and things like creatures. mission free created a shrink free storage free. range of three. three stooges free. a free blog just called in video for your media project a free meal john darche dot com. u.k.

based human rights group together with pakistani activists are seeking an arrest warrant for former cia legal director allegedly responsible for drone strikes which killed hundreds of civilians are a target john also admitted in an interview that he'd been approving such attacks on pakistan since two thousand and four despite the fact the u.s. isn't at war with the country the purpose of a stark's is to target al qaeda militants but a total civilian tolls estimated up to two thousand five hundred people so far the other study lawyers have already filed a complaint against reserve for using with conspiring to kill innocents american antiwar activist fred brenton and the us isn't harming its own interests in the region. basic justification for this program is that it's protecting america it's necessary for u.s. national security in fact by all the figures that we've seen these drone strikes have been fury of the people of pakistan we've quadrupled the pakistani

taliban in numbers and violent attacks they've moved them east into the point you have the heartland to the point where they now pose a major threat to the pakistani government. the pakistani military so much that there's now talk of an anti u.s. military coup on the front page of the new york times and most importantly according to the u.s. ambassador and better solution real than the wiki leaks cable. we're so the u.s. is so hated now in pakistan the government is afraid corporate with it on stage probing its nuclear materials which are the world's fastest growing and by all experts will tell you the least secure so the result of this drone strike campaign is there simply preceding danger in the united states of a conventional and or nuclear terrorist attack. levon is israel's retreat from that when it thousands of soldiers are still struggling to cope with the

consequences of that withdrawal then members of the so-called south lebanese army acts israeli forces they feel that sacrifice has gone unrecognized promise them that's one thing a soldier says there's little support for the country and fulfill it. there's only one thing for guys national dreams about and that is to return home but home of southern lebanon and he's stuck here on the other side of the border in northern israel. that's my home five kilometers away eleven years ago for was was one of several thousand christian neighbor knees to flee with the israeli army as a cliff they've been on for eighteen years the israelis had been fighting the palestine liberation organization and hizbollah on lebanese soil helped by the south lebanon army a militia of christians and jews control the south of the country the soul of the lebanese army didn't fight for is the word as a word that is there didn't fight for. it was emitting of engrosses between them

and us but growing domestic pressure in israel over the high losses suffered by the army finally convinced the government to withdraw and it did so quickly. aria epstein was a soldier at the time and says the lebanese soldiers who helped israel were left behind almost like sitting ducks but. if we're soldiers knew little about us leaving they for sure knew even less there was some sort of selection the commanders were brought here but i'm sure if you were a driver not much was done for you. some seven thousand south lebanon army soldiers crossed into israel those who were left behind were tried jailed and sometimes killed as traitors for was nash and was one of those who got out alive he'd been working with israeli intelligence hoping to recruit lebanese spies i did not want to roll here i wanted to die fighting with the israeli intelligence almost forced me to call on i was told you know too much but the way they treat me now is

a shame they forced me to run away and now they spit on my face six months ago i'm not a lawyer found for i was living in a tent on the street it was hardly surviving on a few hundred dollars a month these were the government gave him i feel ashamed. in my country. that creeping not only the case before was not jim but told him people that remain in state in israel why that country and the state of israel are treating them like. it's a charge the government is aware of although it says it's doing its best to help them by giving cash education and in some cases although not in far as there is a home. for them already eleven years. ago the thing we don't have to do we must do it with very unique. nobody is the. european union and we never nobody of them.

but still that treatment was not enough to stop two thirds of those who came to israel from immigrating elsewhere but i feel betrayed beast sitting in the special intelligence forces have not given me any help since i've been here recently israeli lebanese border and this fence used to be known as a good fence but in the last eleven years since the israelis withdrew from lebanon it's a trace and has deteriorated and this is close to good friends has since become close friends and through its bars israel's forgotten phrase seem condemned to forgive a peek at the family there more than likely never see again policy r.t. on the israel lebanon border. when it comes to starting a family determined couples in russia stop at nothing any of the country's six million infertile couples a service is there any chance of having a child despite the practice being legal in russia and result isn't always

a case of bitterness. these first photos are banned all made him an orphan saying he was ill his genetic parents refused even to hold him the boy has a rare and incurable genetic disease but they don't cover it they simply threw him out like an unwanted kitten and picked a healthy one. well his health a twin brother enjoys family life and has no one but hospital staff helping him to survive the boy's sorry mother also disappeared soon after the delivery of little and on stories just one of the shocking examples of shortcomings in the russian family code that seeks to regulate sorry to see in the country for a government that is just a way in our modern world the idea of surrogacy is sometimes distorted it even be used to avoid the hardships of pregnancy and to preserve the beauty of a body that turned surrogacy into a business renting out a womb costs from twenty to thirty thousand dollars however often either those who pay you know the surrogate want to admit their involvement in the process the

attitude to sardis in russia is ambiguous so many women simply don't want anyone to know their baby is carried by another woman out of so many it's easier to resort just small are not such a small why. how about one scene in public with this there really is no going back to the sides become entangled in a legal and moral not blackmail forms intended parents while sargon mothers greatest fear is not getting paid most of them see sorry to see as the only solution to their financial misery if you have no other choice to live at my mom's case nine people including six square meter is. a neighbor mother of two giving both the money would allow her to buy an apartment for her large family however hard pregnancy the kinetic and immoderate she aborts they had shopped around and their backup was bearing twins let's go to the biological father sprawled out in

front of men an armchair and almost knocked when he was saying don't you understand we need neither you nor the baby. zenaida still hopes they'd accept the baby but instead ended up with no feet and an addition to her family too little and these legal details are called comfort the question is whether you will ever want to know who his real parents are and why they treated him as a commodity terry pushed over r t. well the business news is next where we were. hello and welcome to business here are seeing now we have stock markets which are letting out a little sigh of relief at least for the moment they're welcome president obama's news of progress on raising the americas that ceiling and he's meeting with congressional leaders to discuss and new debt cutting plan and determine ethical point their way out of the impasse well i'm joined now by louise cooper from the to

see our various heloise thank you very much for joining us now can you tell us how high are the chances that this plan will actually help avoid at sucking up all the thoughts. i think most investors in the market would like to be optimistic and think this is the finally the plan but i don't think they can be like that to be honest there's still a long way to go in terms of the the two positions coming together however we haven't got we've got limited time for that to happen i mean yes it is good news that we've got a bipartisan gang of six with both republicans and democrats within it coming up this proposal we know that almost fifty senators listen to the proposal in detail yesterday for an hour and we know that so far none of the key players have have have banished it out of you know have completely said no this is not the deal so it is looking optimistic but i just think you know this is this is cool should we be optimism are you saying that it's looking optimistic but the plan introduces an

almost four trillion dollar spending cut these think that's enough. well that is something to be quite a long amount it does seem that this is kind of what president obama was looking for you know four trillion dollars is a big sum however the problem with enormous cuts is that as we're seeing in greece for example is that really big cuts can actually damaged economic growth so march that in fact the government's finances could end up looking even worse worse and there's a very fine line to be between not damaging economic growth and making the government's finances look good and i think that's a tricky line to go in the last day to be had from the u.s. the key piece of data that unemployment report for june really showed the u.s. economy filtering and i think that is also causing some concern. well if the plan is taken in sanction what will happen soon q e three prospects or more simply money

printing. while q e three we had q e one we had q.e. two will we get q e three a lot of commentators are saying with record low interest rates with about. that feeling means that we're not going to have fiscal stimulus in fact we're going to have a fiscal tightening essentially the only tool to get economic the economy growing again is q e three so that hard pain a lot of speculation that this was going to be announced at the track of the fed was and i'm he poured cold water over that most recent me so for the time being although impressed as one hundred sixty we very it seems mr bernanke he isn't quite so. well louise cooper thank you very much in seeing partners thank you so much for your insights. well that's all the businesses who have time for this hour and next up on the headlines with kerry.

forty two thousand american strike each year since two thousand. seventeen thousand people. and thirty two thousand will kill themselves cancer in all its forms kills five hundred sixty thousand of us here part is easy the more devastating picture was over eight hundred seventy thousand americans every year.
