haul being at the center of one of these storms a terrifying experience and i really don't believe either david or sean hoare 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 in government would have known that to kill them would just would just amplify the story i think it's simpler i think both were under enormous pressure from their roles as whistle blows and and found it difficult to cope with that pressure short haul of evidence could have been crucial to proving that the news of the world editors supported a culture of listening to private voice mails for stories former editor andy colson who later became a media director to the current prime minister has always denied the allegations the man was destroyed professionally by abuse international the journalistic world in london is a very small place and the man was distraught he was well known he was drinking too much taking drugs he was depressed and demoralised police are saying hall's 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 been quelled by the fact the post-mortem report and other evidence has been classified for seventy years so ten arrests six resignations two convictions and one death that the toll of the phone hacking scandal so far the death of the key whistleblower in this scandal has raised questions but so far only amongst the twitter ossie it's being reported as a horrible and unfortunate coincidence but it's doubtful that if this had happened elsewhere say in russia or in india the british media would be so quick to accept it as a coincidence particularly looked at in the light of the death of david kelly you're at it. well david cameron's close ties with news corp and his efforts to head off

the crisis could yet take a toll on him and his government that's according to a british blogger harry cole. what really gave the story legs was the fact that they have a camera and. then disgraced. the coast of the conservative party photo made him is director of communications i don't think without without that trying to kind of. legs give into the story i think it probably wouldn't have been quite as big as it is now but the fact is there have been some real errors of judgment times out of the governing conservative party but the prime minister david cameron yes again his chief of staff has been shown to be essentially instigating a cover up about the connections because you have to do the phone hacking and making sure that the prime minister and then leader of the opposition david cameron didn't know about it it's been a large amount of fingers i mean isn't just the kind of heads in the sand and that is lethal for a prime minister and he's now in a real fight he is in

a real really bad situation he could well be looking at some serious consequences for himself at the very least stuff still around him. but i still to come in the program finding the man behind the drones u.k. in pakistani human rights groups want to press charges for unmanned acts and actually killing hundreds of civilians going after cia legal director who approved the strikes. and used up allies soldiers who fought for israel in the war against lebanon funding themselves stuck in a country that's gone from the existence. so bill thirty's have announced the arrest of one hundred countries many war crimes fugitive he's being sought for atrocities ranging from murder to prosecution during the conflict between croatia and yugoslavia in the ninety's was arrested i did want to buy the

hague tribunal for a similar crimes marking his joints to overcome obstacles. to join you for this next. cross live now to john laughlin to the interests of the institute of democracy corp there live from paris there are thank you for joining us now for almost a decade former serbian leaders have enjoyed safe haven in serbia why are 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 is you know 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 the arrests what is clear is as you said in your questions 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 successes successes at least in its own terms well now that he has been arrested will we see serbia joining the e.u. soon do you think. oh not soon know 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 what we say they're enjoying very sorry to give what you say and do you think the e.u. is likely to set up further conditions for serbia's membership. well not

ones related to crimes no i think these do finally clear out the those obstacles but as i say the process of exception is extremely cumbersome and involves negotiations that typically last years is a concern the 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 corporation with the hague tribunal no now how did it show was the last major war crimes if you get it but is he the last on serbia's wanted list. he's the certainly the last major one and so on the list that the hague wants from serbia yes. really does draw a line under the whole process now of the hague tribunal is intended to wind up its operations in the next few years. and with the trials of rather encourage it but

leader of the bosnian serb republic and now the leader who eventually became leader of the serbian republic of crimea now that is to say these held territories within creation these prosecutions will indeed now draw a line under the hague operations interestingly had to have prosecuted for acts committed right at the very beginning of the breakup of yugoslavia in the summer and late part of nine hundred ninety one even before you could flavia had actually broken up. or 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 break up when the war was essentially between serbia and croatia. you know why the sense 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. due 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 you do 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 qualitatively worse than that of the other states it's not my view and i think we see this in the in the. what was happening when yugoslavia was breaking up was that militias were being formed in the ratio and

then later among the serbs in croatia so first among the kurds and then among the serbs and there was fighting between these militias and the yugoslav army because the territory was still part of yugoslavia tried to interpose itself between the two there was a breakdown of law and order and the civil war and the hague tribunal has tried to turn this into a joint criminal enterprise planned to conquer parts of creation but this accusation in my view is complete nonsense and so by corporate ing 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 now john laughlin the director of the institute of the baucus and cooperation there in paris for us thank you for that. george's latest spy saga has taken yet another twist to b.c.

now says three photojournalists locked up on charges of espionage on behalf of russia have confessed their guilt but artie's ridiculous crew 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 your god's confession of spying for russia was released by prosecutors to the media but most journalists are skeptical about this latest development or our culture so old it is very strange and there is in the middle of the night in this business a case has been like this. all of this raises questions and are not getting any answers and this confession is a serious face three accuser because we have doubts about this whole deal with us so that you will get the logs and maintained his innocence ever since he along with three other photojournalists was arrested at the beginning of this month 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 then one by one the photographers started changing their testimonies eventually three of them incriminated themselves in his panoz but up the odds they insisted he was not guilty and even went on hunger strike to prove this point in fact his lawyer says the photographer seems to have changed his mind over the space of just ten 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 dimiter to gods it believes these admissions of guilt show the case has been fabricated turn of the demagoguery we live in a totalitarian state today all power 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 has any other proof of their guilt he wouldn't have to force these confessions i need to remember what they were basically this is a message for all of us journalists including me and. members of the new. heard the message loud and clear and stage a protest outside the jail where three photographers are being held and preliminary detention human rights activists meanwhile believe hardly affect the system of power in the country i'll bet on that because it's very likely that of dillard's or will be forced to ask for my removal from the case investigators want everyone who can enter fear out of the picture so they can lead it the way they want to they want the case of the photographers to end without any public discussion and that's possible if all the rest to plead guilty go in well we case seems outrageous to journalists and to many ordinary people it's just the latest in the seemingly endless string of spies scandals to hit georgia. r.t.

which killed hundreds of civilians all retired john rizzo admitted in the interview that he'd been approving such attacks in pakistan since two thousand and four despite the fact the us. with a country that the self the strikes is to target the militants but the total civilian toll is estimates up to two thousand five hundred people so. they start in the lawyers have already filed a complaint against raising fears of of conspiring to kill innocence american antiwar activist fred grantham thems the us is in hama its interest in the region. the 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 eight of the people pakistan they've quadrupled the pakistani taliban in numbers and violent attacks they've moved them east into the

pool and you have the heartland to the point where they now pose a major threat to the pakistani government. of 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 important way according to the u.s. ambassador and better solution reeled in the wiki leaks cables. were so the u.s. is so hated now in pakistan that the government is afraid to cooperate with iran safeguarding 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 fastly creasing the danger in the united states of a conventional and or nuclear terrorist attack by eleven yeah to israel's retreat from that than thousands of soldiers are still struggling to cope with the consequences of that withdrawal then members of the so-called south lebanese army

backed israeli forces they feel their sacrifice has gone unrecognized paula slim that's one former soldier who says there is little support from the country he fought for. there's only one thing for wise national dreams about and that is to return home but home is 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 binny's to flee with the israeli army as it left lebanon 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 who controlled the south of the country to solve the lebanese army didn't fight for him as well that is there didn't fight for so. there was a meeting of 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 and that's. 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 for. 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 an ashram 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 run here i wanted to die fighting with the israeli intelligence almost forced me to 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 was living in a tent on the street he was hardly surviving on the few hundred dollars a month israeli government gave him i feel ashamed. in my country. drifting not only the case before was not jim but two thousand people that remain in the stadium is why the country and the states 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 followers is a home. for them already eleven years. because. we don't have to we must. with it's very unique. it's a very unique nobody that. you name it 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 the beast sitting in the special intelligence forces have not given me any help since i've been here this is the israeli lebanese border and this fence used to be known as the good friends but in the last eleven years since the israelis withdrew from lebanon the situation has deteriorated and this is close to good friends has since become the close friends and through its bars israel's forgotten friends seem condemned to fit if a peek at the family they're 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 will stop at nothing many of the country's six million infertile couples say surrogacy is their only chance of having a child but despite the practice being the legal in russia the end result isn't always a case of happy families. these first photos of van tom made him an orphan seeing

he was ill his genetic parents refused even to hold him the boy has a rare and incurable genetic disease but. they simply threw him out like an unwanted kitten and picked a healthy one. while his healthy twin brother enjoys family life and tom has no one but hospital staff helping him to survive the boy's sorry mother who disappeared soon after the delivery little anton story is just one of the shocking examples of shortcomings in the russian family code that seeks to regulate sarrasin in the country. in our modern world the idea of surrogacy is sometimes distorted a given be used to avoid the hardships of pregnancy and to preserve the beauty of a body that turns surrogacy into a business renting out a womb costs from twenty to thirty thousand dollars however often either those who pay no the surrogate want to admit their involvement in the process the attitude to surrogacy in russia is ambiguous so many women simply don't want anyone to know

their baby is carried by another woman of for many it's easier to resort to small or 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 homes intended parents while sargon mothers greatest fear is not getting paid most of them see sarah see as the only solution to their financial misery if you had no other choice we lived at my mom's place nine people in two to six square meter is. zenaida and mother of two who giving both the money would allow her to buy an apartment for her large family however hard pregnancy the genetic parents demanded she aborts they had shopped around and their backup was bearing twins. yes the biological father sprawled out in front of men unarmed chand almost knocked when he was saying don't you understand my needs

neither you nor the baby. zenaida still hoped they'd accept the baby but instead ended up with no feet and an addition to her family too little and on these legal details are called comfort the question is whether he will ever want to know who his real parents are and why they treated him as a commodity daria pushed r.t. . while the business news is next. hello and welcome to business here and now we have stock markets which are letting out a little sigh of relief at least for the moment the welcome president obama's news of progress on raising america's debt ceiling and he's meeting with congressional leaders to discuss a new debt cutting plan and determine if it could point their way out of the impasse well i'm joined now by louise cooper from d.c. see there is hello luis thank you very much for joining us now can you tell us how

high are the chances that this plan will actually help avoid a technical default. 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 but 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 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 up to mislead but the plan introduces an almost four trillion dollar spending these think that's enough. well that is does

seem to be quite a large 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 as we're seeing in greece for example is that really big cops can actually damaged economic growth so much 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 finances look good and i think that's a tricky line to go and the last data we had from the us the key piece of data about unemployment report for june really showed the u.s. economy faltering and i think that is also causing some concern. well if the plan is taken into action what will happen to q e three prospects or more simply money printing. well q e three we've 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 a budget ceiling means that we're not going to have fiscal stimulus in fact we're going to have fiscal tightening essentially the only tool to get economic the economy growing again is q e three so there had been a lot of speculation that this was going to be announced but the chairman of the federal reserve ben bernanke he poured cold water over that most recently so for the time being although investors may hope for huey three it seems mr bernanke isn't quite so. well louise cooper thank you very much. part nurse think you so much for your insights. well that's all the businesses who have time for this hour and they excel for their headlines with carrie.

forty two thousand americans die each year from car accidents will be a thousand. seven hundred 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 even more devastating it kills over eight hundred seventy thousand americans every year.

you're watching on t.v. will tie for the main headlines now the witch hunting is and then serbia arrests information multimedia countries and also from a u.n. war crimes fugitive on budget. a grim vision. as the man that capable of dealing with the greatest blow winds up dead or an increasing scrutiny of public all too familiar with the sport. and georgian voices of support for

three photojournalists accused of espionage are growing louder as critics question the validity of the suspects recent confessions. now on a lonely number of people worldwide die of heart disease every year all special reports coming up next traces the connection between the grim statistics and the ingredients of modern day food stuffs. everybody eats food and we all have our favorites here in america is abundant so we take it for granted. think about the food you eat what do you know about it where

does it come from how is it made. me eating before corporations were relentlessly marketing foods to us. this film is not just about food it's about the changes in our food supply the changes in the quality of our food. as a nurse i work in hospitals and one thing remains the same throughout the mall there are too many sick people. it seems all diseases are on the rise. how many people do you know with heart problems diabetes. the hospitals are full and there's not enough nurses to properly take care of them all. the quality of our food is decreasing and the number sick people are increasing there has to be a connection. the majority of americans are overweight and at the same time malnourished is it because refined grains are excess sugar intake what about chemical food additives.
