a decade since the fall of slobodan milosevic and in any event there has never been incoherent debate in serbia in the pros and cons of e.u. membership actually anything that serbia will now mean to. a list of all the additional demands and additional preconditions so it is really an open secret in brussels work is euphemistically known as a normalization of relations with serbia as neighbors which is the code word for the record mission of course was independence will top the agenda 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. you with r.t. in this hour georges a witch hunt alleged spies gathers pace as the charge of their knowledge for russia

is there sleet and freezing the danger in the united states have a conventional and or nuclear terrorist attack. counter which is latest spying silent. has taken another twist to gleason's there's the three photojournalists charged with spying for a bunch to have now confessed their guilt but there's always only collusion to report their own mounting concerns the suspects were coerced 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 georgia 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 it is very strange and there is in the middle of the night and it isn't there a case has been marked as top secret and this confession is a serious victory easier because we have made this whole deal cynical you would

have the odds and maintained his innocence ever since he along with the three other photojournalists was arrested at the beginning of this month old including president mikhail saakashvili his personal photographer were passing on top secret information to russia's military intelligence or initially insisted they were innocent and then one by one the photographers started changing their testimonies eventually three of them incriminated themselves in a spin i but up to a lot they insisted he was not guilty and even went on hunger strike to provoke 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 teased his story managing editor of all your newspaper dhimmitude he grabs it believes these admissions of guilt show the case has been badly heated. we live in a totalitarian state all power is concentrated in the hands of president
11:17 am
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 with even talk of others are being held and preliminary detention human rights activists meanwhile. hardly spoke to system of power in the country i'll bet on the investigators want everyone who can interfere out of the picture so they can looted the way they want to they want because of the photographers to and without any public discussion and that's possible if all the rest to plead guilty and well that is seems outrageous to journalists and really ordinary people it's just the latest in a seemingly endless string of spies scandals ga. r.t.

optics supercomputers that of really advanced understanding of astronomy of the large number of this coverage that i would say really makes it appropriate to call this a golden era of astronomy. now when it comes to starting a family determined russians will stop at nothing and many of the country's six million infertile couples think that sarkozy offers that only a chance of having a child but despite being legal in russia the practice isn't always and in the case of happy family. these photos a vandal made him and also on the scene he was in his genetic parents refused him the boy has a rare and incurable genetic disease but that you'll probably be simply threw him out like an unwanted kitten i'm kicked a healthy one. while his healthy twin brother enjoys family life and has no one but hospital staff helping him to survive the boy's surrogate mother also disappeared

soon after the delivery little and on story is just one of the shocking examples of shortcomings in the russian family code that seeks to regulate sorry to see in the country program which it is but in our modern world the idea of surrogacy is sometimes distorted if you didn't use 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 in or the surrogate want to admit their involvement in the process the attitudes of 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 a mini it's easier to resort to personal or not the just will lie. 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 well surrogate mothers
