and short 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 was 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 but the man was destroyed professionally by views international. journalists were in london is a very small place and the man was distraught he was well known but he was drinking too much taking drugs he was depressed to be moralized 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 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 a 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 r.t. . and of course we'd always like to know what you're all thinking about all stories

on our website we're asking you what will be the biggest fallout from this u.k. phone hacking scandal so for i can tell you that the majority of you think it would all end up with rupert murdoch losing his slice of the world's media kate to competitors almost a quarter of aussie voters think the u.k.'s cabinet will fall a fifty four c. conventional media losing out to block is under some fourteen percent of you think the biggest outcome will be nothing more than an academy award winning blockbuster biopic now serbia has fulfilled the final demands of the u.n. war crimes tribunal for the former yugoslavia execrations hardage has been arrested after eight years on the run while he's accused of atrocities during croatia's rule for independence from yugoslavia in the early ninety's ranging from murder to religious persecution it follows the arrest of not it she was wanted for similar

crimes the detentions that were key requirements of serbia's to join the e.u. for more insight on the story let's cross live now to dr corbett foreign affairs editor at chronicles magazine many that is being with us here on our t.v. today elf like giving up the war time fugitives president target. may win the praise of the. do you think it comes as as welcome a gesture back at home in serbia. well we've seen with the outcome of that it should that the reaction of the serbian public was almost uniformly negative because most believe that the hague tribunal has a deeply biased that it used to the airport to the oppression of guilty in the in the former yugoslavia between the serbs in various other parts it's the second problem is that his claim that this will pave the way for serbia has been the

membership of the european union is actually far from certain because again with knowledge we've seen several days. of old propagandistic claims about seven needs about the siege of syria and search is. on the shoulder and promise of a speedy accession actually anything that serbia will now meet and. list additional demands and additional preconditions well let's talk more about those ever lengthening lists a precondition is that you refer to that might now be picked up by the e.u. as you said also not just his arrest your mind a tad it's all of that still being at last but now that he's captured and you insinuate that you think serbia will be presented with yet more toth before its membership dream if you like will actually be fulfilled what sort of tasks they

were actually left remaining. well it is really an open secret in brussels led work is euphemistically known as normalization of relations with serbia's neighbors which is the code word for the recognition of cross-overs independence will top the agenda in fact only a couple of weeks ago a buddhist delegation came to belgrade and several german entities openly talked about this as the scene the one on the condition that at least they themselves will regard as paramount to any talk of serbia succession the second area which is highly problematic and which is really talked about in brussels in an off the record is the for the centralization of serbia with

the northern trauma survivors in the in the predominantly muslim region of sound in southwestern serbia given being given ever greater degrees of autonomy which in turn means that even rumps what remains after costs that we. cannot be certain of its integrity and last but by no means least there is also the issue of. accepting the ever greater unique theories ational bosnia-herzegovina and actually encouraging the serbs republika srpska in bosnia and miller dodik the president of the bosnian serb republic to accept further reduction of autonomous status of that of public a subscriber under danger so i think that all of these will actually come into play before serbia sees any movement in what i personally believe is an endless road which will not be crowned a success in a decade at least that of corvet's

a considering what you've just said. a very lengthy list of preconditions that you think the e.u. will last before it considers accession and by no means will they be easy or necessarily popular to achieve in light of that why do you think the serbia is so keen to still join this blog which itself is actually still struggling to stay afloat and does the e.u. actually need another member in these hard economic times. i wonder if you can i mean first of all i don't think it is limited to this particular. it's not really serving as an entity this particularly keen to join the you it is the true european coalition led by president boris tadic that uses the rhetoric of e.u. integration with europe whose ears and if you will is

a substitute for coherent strategy of serbia's getting go out of a deep economic social and political traces that is effectively lasted for over a decade since the fall of slobodan milosevic and in any event there has never been a coherent debate in serbia about the pros and cons of e.u. membership the e.u. mantra has been toes tightly controlled media is something that is even beyond discussion and beyond reproach and it is highly regrettable that on this issue of prime national importance a government that prides itself on being pro western democratic and whom is has actually acted in this rigid as ideologically in term manner as any it is real socialism or thirty or forty years ago i k doubt. that if the rich foreign affairs

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 this old lebanese army has been fired for is as well that is there didn't fight for. there was a knitting 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 what. 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 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 calm 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. that dripping not only the case before was not jim but two thousand people that remain in state

in israel. the 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 followers is a home. for them already eleven years. we don't have to we must. with it's very unique it's a very unique nobody did it do 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 by 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 a good fence has since become the close fans and through its bars israel's forgotten friends seem condemned if a peek at the family they're more than likely never see again policy r.t. on the israel lebanon border. now it's a story that stood out some controversy off forum and you can join the discussion also dot com also you there for your children preparing a. new breastfeeding dulls get a mixed reaction from parents as they hit the shelves of the toy stores across europe and the u.s. . in the wilds biggest country in minutes a unique project on the way in st petersburg to create a tiny replica of the fine detail taken the gallery of art into.

britain free. free. free. free. video for your media project free media oh god our t.v. dot com. george's latest spying saga has taken another twist to bring you see says the three photojournalists charged with spying for russia have now confessed they killed but as always he's going to reports there are mounting concerns the suspects us into admitting to crimes they didn't commit. and then there were none the last georgian photographer to deny allegations of spying has apparently changed his story he now admits the charges video testimony of jordan have the largest confession of spying for russia was released by prosecutors to the media but most journalists are skeptical about this latest

development or our. old this is very strange and there is it in the middle of the night and that this is very case has been marked as top secret and this confession is a serious breakthrough easer because we have made doubts about this whole deal cynical you would get the odds 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 or initially insisted they were innocent then one by one the photographers started changing their testimonies eventually three of them incriminated themselves in his pen asure but up the odds they insisted he was not guilty and even went on hunger strike to profuse 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 alia newspaper dimiter to gods it believes these admissions of guilt show the case has been fabricated. 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 basically this is a message for all of us journalists including me and. members of the media 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. hardly fair to system of power in the country i'll bet on the most a gator's want everyone who can interfere out of the picture so they can lead it the way they want to they want the case of the photographers to and without any public discussion and those possible if all the rest to plead guilty in

a world begins to seems outrageous to journalists and really ordinary people it's just elitists who seemingly endless string of spies scandals georgia. now look at some other international headlines and our world update the u.s. president barack obama has welcomed bipartisan senate proposal designed to cut the country's huge debt the plan aims to reduce the deficit by about four trillion dollars over the next decade by slashing health spending education and labor programs with only two weeks left to avoid a looming to fold lawmakers from both parties also discussing raising the federal borrowing limit is. still is foreign minister has warned the ambassadors of america and france not to travel outside the capital without permission earlier this month the diplomats were severely criticized by the government for visiting the volatile town of hamam considered an opposition stronghold this cause the security forces

continue a volley crackdown on anti-government demonstrations at least ten people were killed on tuesday is fired on a rally in the city of homs. when it comes to starting a family to term and russians will stop at nothing many of the country's six million infertile couples say that surrogacy offers their only chance of having a child but despite being legal in russia the practice doesn't always end with a case of happy families. these first photos of anton made him an orphan see he was ill his genetic parents refused even to hold him the boy has a rare and incurable genetic disease but like junk of it they simply threw him out like an unwanted kitten and picked a healthy one. while his healthy twin brother enjoys family life and told has no one but hospital staff helping him to survive the boy's sorry that mother also 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 sarkozy in the country for a government which is just but where 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 turns surrogacy into a business renting out a womb costs from twenty to thirty thousand dollars however often either those who pay nor the sarah get want to admit their involvement in the process the attitude to surrogacy in russia is on big years so many women simply don't want anyone to know their baby is carried by another one out of for many it's easier to resort to small but 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 surrogate mothers greatest fear is not getting paid most of them see sorry to see as the only

solution to their financial misery if we had no other choice we lived at my mom's place nine people in four to six square meter is. zenaida a mother of two hoped giving birth the money would allow her buy an apartment for her large family however half way through the pregnancy the genetic parents demanded she a board they had shopped around and their backup was bearing twins. the biological father sprawled out in front of men unarmed chair and almost knocked when he was saying don't you understand we need 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 don't 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 dairy pushed over r.t. ask. about the summary of our top stories in just

a few minutes right away let's get a check up on the distance between. the two you are welcome to business r.t. stock markets are letting out a little sigh of relief at least for the moment they welcome to present a bomber's news of progress on raising america's debt ceiling is meeting with congressional leaders now to discuss a new debt cutting plan and determine if it could point the way out of the impasse . 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 much that in fact the government's finances can end up looking even worse and worse and there's a very fine line to be charged between not damaging economic growth and making the government finances look good and i think that's

a tricky line to go in the last data we had from the u.s. the key piece of data that unemployment report for june really showed the u.s. economy faltering and i think that is also causing some concern. to the markets now crude is on the rise light sweet says up to sixty three cents or ninety eight dollars thirteen cents brant is up for almost a dollar the price increase comes after the strong u.s. data and cutting plan that voiding technical default move to stock markets now u.s. markets opened mixed in flat after a strong tuesday session investors are weighing the progress with raising the debt ceiling but counterbalancing is the u.s. home sales data going down point eight percent in june. european stock markets are still higher in london the sell though the dax has come down slightly just a notch into the red overnight rally on wall street and earnings from apple course

were boosting investor confidence most of the day but now that we've seen this flat opening in the in the states. gains in the europe i've also come down in moscow the r.t.s. is up zero point seven percent my six point three percent another fifteen minutes to go and take a look at some of the stocks and most blue chips are still on the rise gazprom though losing much of its rally before now i just point four percent ross telecom still posting very strong gains on speculation it could be completely sold to private bus. they however would still veto rights polymaths all. down to one a half percent after several days of gains as gold is edging slightly sound. car production in russia is returning to pre-crisis levels despite a positive outlook prime minister putin is urged car makers to increase production to free hundred thousand vehicles a year number of automobiles made in the country has jumped fifty seven percent year on year the new scheme requiring three hundred thousand production is

a very sensible step because it is an attempt to move the market right direction what we had before that was fifteen or twenty manufacturing facilities that were really just assembly units where most of the components were imported and a million man assembly unit doesn't bring much local work so the government really wanted to bring the production of components into russia to great jobs for engineering is on a school specialised question and and with the promise of scale of production then it makes sense for components. so broadly it's it's a good start and if the market grows as strong as we expect to get within five years up to about three now perhaps even towards four million if things go well then then it'll make sense. or i join business tsotsi in fifty minutes time we'll

a scientific value of hubble is concerned we're trying to understand the universe and beauty is one of those things maybe you've heard the expression and the beauty is in the mind of the beholder and so in fact what i see beauty and sometimes is a picture that other people might not consider beautiful but it reveals the answer to some important question like how stars form how galaxies form and so to a scientist the beauty is a totally different thing that. produces beautiful images that children like to see is very important for the funding of double and of course that's important for we scientists and so in that sense yes it is important in fact i can tell you in the united states maybe in many countries schoolchildren tend to be fascinated by certain things they're fascinated by dinosaurs are for.
