welcome back here's a recap of the main stories we're covering today on our t.v. the u.s. swallows the self made it bitter pill to avert the devastating default but experts say there is little hope for efficiency economic recovery in the long term committed to conflicts around the world or washington has now left with a limited resources to address the needs of america back home. moscow warns against call so if you went to target the syrian regime urging for action to push the warring sides towards dialogue leaving violence in the country this comes as dozens more protesters were reportedly killed on tuesday following more than one.

hundred deaths over there. and a six mile south are being toppled a former egyptian leader hosni mubarak is finally set to go on trial for the killing of protesters during the february authorising while ordinary egyptians feel the revolution their promise to bring a change of the country has delivered very little. and i sat down with russia's recently appointed envoy for human rights to discuss his new role. shares his views with r.t. on the notorious guantanamo bay prison camp and nato's presence in libya that's coming up in our interview. thank you very much for being with us today thank you you are russian foreign

ministry's first ever voyage for human rights why was this position create now well you're absolutely right this is a new position that has been established a few months ago to be exact three and a half months. i am in this position and the youth has been established to. be direction of the president of the russian for the federation mr madrid if. decision was taken by what the minister said your lover of the basic idea here is to. probably even more actively. profile our country russia in the field of human rights democracy and rule of law there was a very important issues and there mentions or international relations as you know and of course an extremely important part of my job part of my job description i am a c. used to morning to this issue from the with the implementation of human races. in

the world i mean across the globe. it's not only human rights. shown in my title it is also doing the angle of low key russia realistically export democracy will of exporting democracy and we do not think as a matter of principle that democracy can be exported but. obviously democratic development should come first and foremost from within the countries and we consistently proceed from the assumption but. you know there are no i mean the shouldn't be such thing as first or second tier you know that some cancer is expected more to leave to the democratic standards than the others. are so you are selling to means universality and this is the concept which is not

unique. to russia. and internationally acknowledged concept how do you respond to this human rights watch report which highlighted u.s. reluctance. to investigate systematic torture and illegal imprisonment by officials in iraq. is an interesting question actually. we took note of the reports. it is not the first time. human rights defenders let me put it in this way or international organization which is the wing non-governmental organization of this case which is dealing with you on the raids drawing attention to this issue we have heard the u.s. american human rights defenders also from the non-governmental sector demand action from the u.s. government namely the proper investigation of

a number of cases very firm up mistaken there have been a number of lawsuits against the u.s. government dealing with the legit human rights violations during so-called counterterrorist operation in particular during the military campaigns in iraq and afghanistan. you mentioned also. the b.b.c. in the run time miles who were there was another base in bagram and i'm going to stand up to now. unfortunately there hasn't been a proper investigation. there hasn't been any property from a.b.c. so punishment so there is some degree of impunity will be asleep here and. quite a major issue in the field of human rights i just might say that we expect that the us government will react to those. recommendations in a proper way of course the. accusations are mostly

referred to the period of the previous of the bush administered. and that we know that the incumbent administration of the star bombers administration has pledged a. number of times to deal with those issues. we still have to go on how to have been recently arrested by the serbian authorities called for a fair trial for this man what are the chances that hardage. will receive a fair trial in hague we expect good those trials will be fair will be objective will be based on facts. we'll be impartial and not politicize those are the most important great to see which is the i.c.u. way used to operate under action and unfortunately the practice you know

a number of respects in the different way and you know would have to have been a lot of. criticism and problems related to the past if you wanted to be sure to give it is including accusations of standards and unfortunately there has been sort of ground for this in the past we hope they are put. away and down its activities by the way under the u.n. security council resolution. by the end of two thousand and fourteen we expect that in the remaining. international body will. draw a certain conclusion some lessons and will operate in an impartial and professional manner this is always speculation is not only are we expecting this is the expectation of the serbian the serbian government as was expressed by the government publicly and this is the expectation of all members of the international

community a hot topic for the past couple months has been libya what consequences well will beneficials face american and european unfortunately unfortunately still it is in libya have been continuing for quite some time and. the matter of the factors they have. to suffer from those who are still it is most a war. and unfortunately civilians suffer from both action by the forces by the government obviously and also from the air strikes and the use of force by. by the coalition forces and the other important a real force is. the implementation of security council resolutions and until someone to menton seventy three as far as especially as far as protection of civilians protection of civilian population is concerned what do you did to protect

the integrity of the security council resolution in the future. this is a very important issue and i think that. once again as the russian leadership stressed. time and again. proper lessons are to be learned. specially from the results from ninety seven to three where unfortunately unfortunately we limit the use of force more properly old land but let us not forget that it is. the primary responsibility of the governments to protect the civilian population. there is also a very important usual sovereignty here so we expect that the governments of course will live up to their respective. obligations international obligations. but if the international community ease to undertake certain steps to protect the

civilians then if used to act in accordance with international law what brings in the produce of the statement for example in case of nato because you talk about governments and how civilians are suffering governmental actions but also nato actions is there a diplomatic mechanism to censor his actions and i would see it is not so much probably the usual censuring but of course the attitude. why the international attitude towards it was deviations from certain deviations from security council resolutions of course this opinion is being expressed and. the signal is being conveyed and it will be heard this particular signal. but. the most important and most acute more store pickel task to be used

once again to stop the facilities as quickly as possible to. ensure a proper transition to the political process. that russian pilot who was kidnapped in africa by american agents and convicted in the united states will be given his sentence in september you have sat that pressure will not but will call for an asinine response what do you mean we are absolutely against violating the legitimate rights of the russian citizens abroad. including including. improper extradition and which took place in that particular case. unfortunately the issues those issues are not. being satisfactorily tech up by the americans say what they would like to see is that any response is of course you know would you use to be

a plus defective. what. proportion of. but russia has been consistently following the lion the witch hearing to the norms of international law so it is to be based on international law so we are not violating international law in order to fight it violations of international law so this is where. i don't remember that they use the term symmetrical or maybe it was there in the heat of some discussion but. the idea was precisely this to not to respond with illegal steps to illegal steps this is not the method that we shoes basically as a matter of principle used by the russian federation content single goal of the russian formal system but then for the human rights democracy and the role of law

thank you very much for listening thank you so much but as all men thank you. the people of the united states and their friends and allies will not live at the mercy of an outlaw regime that threatens the peace with weapons of mass murder is a regime has an active program to acquire and develop nuclear weapons and let there be no doubt about it we know for a fact that there are weapons there. this were just being carried out into the direction of dr david kay respected scientist and former u.n. inspector was leading the weapons search in iraq we are determined to take this apart we have a tremendous a group of dedicated american men and women involved in this with the best assets of the intelligence community can provide. data cheney is not going to be done with this for quite some time david kay wants more time and he says it could take another six to nine months to make

a definitive finding ministration is asking congress for hundreds of millions more six hundred million dollars to fund a continuing search we have not yet found shiny pointy things that i would call a weapon before we can draw from conclusions we need to let the iraq survey group complete its work. we were all wrong probably in my judgment. and that is most disturbing. sometimes the true patriots takes the unpopular course that helps the country and wooden stakes and even if they come this way at least from tonight patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels and i think these are scoundrels they have no argument now they have no defense for what they did the country is in a terrible international security situation that i think is perilous so they're attacking the patriotism of other.

monson r t the u.s. swallow self-made bitter pill to avert the devastating default but i say if there's a little hope for an economic recovery in the long term committed to conflicts around the world or washington is left with limited resources to address the needs of americans back. moscow once again calls out the you went to target the syrian regime urging for action to push the warring sides towards dialogue to the escalating violence in the country well this comes as dozens more protesters were reportedly killed on tuesday following more than one hundred deaths over the weekend. and the six months after being toppled former egyptian leader hosni mubarak is finally set to go on trial for the killing of protesters during

scenes like this have become an alter regular occurrence at stadiums across russia this season supporters' response on moscow's he needs in petersburg to now move have been the main culprits however the russian premier league's head of security believes heavy handed policing is the root cause of most of these problems of worship but a body of work the main problem we are facing is with the organization of games different styles of policing the quality of the stadiums and other factors can have a massive impact on the way fans behave if the police act in a civilized way towards the fans then there is no source of provocation. meetin of meats fair is a problem of hooliganism in russia a state of this is also a problem amongst a number of countries in europe however the spotlight is clearly on russia to clear up its hands as bay will host the world cup in two thousand and eighteen. the russian premier league head of security once to say a complete change in the way security is don't live in stadiums across the country

. we are very interested in the police playing a much smaller role in organizing security of football games in russia we need to train security personnel and stewards to carry out this job the police should not try to provoke the situation but rather try and work with the fans both parties need to work together the police have been seen as the main cause of the problem by russian football fans who have long called the stewards to be the sole security force in the country stadiums and the police's chief of public security who spoke about the matter last week but meets with something has to be done. with very interested in the police playing a much smaller role in organizing security at football games in russia we need to train security personnel and stewards to carry out this job the police should not try to provoke the situation but rather try and work with the fans both parties need to work together things are slowly starting to improve does he need some
