8:02 am
the israeli ambassador from ankara with immediate effect now this follows is always refused to apologize for killing nine turkish citizens who were part of the first part of attempts to break israeli blockade on gaza we are hearing from the turkish foreign minister that in addition to expelling the israeli ambassador they are also downgrading diplomatic ties between both countries to the level of second treaty and that they are freezing all military cooperation not initially took he had given the israelis the deadline of the publication of this u.n. report at the time by which they expected and were hoping and with planning for an apology but last night thursday the new york times published the u.n. report that report found that the israelis had used to quoted extensive and reasonable force and that the loss of turkish life had been an acceptable the report also pointed to the rains it pours and those records showed that
8:03 am
a number of people who had been killed were killed with multiple shots to their back their neck and shots were fired at close range at the same time and the reports said that people the crew and passengers onboard the a mother or the largest missile that was part of that sort of a thames had been significantly mistreated the report though did find that the israeli blockade on gaza was not illegal if it had to comply with international law and it did say that those israeli commando units that had stormed the ship and were met with force and have the right to respond with force not is one in the past has expressed regret at the loss of life that it has so far refused to apologize because it is afraid that this will institute legal claims and that it would also say it's some kind of precedent that will be very hard for the israeli government to deal with in future the timing certainly is significant in twenty days on september the trains with the palestinian leadership will be appealing to the united nations general. namely to accept that unilateral declaration of
8:04 am
a palestinian state now there are already growing concerns on the ground that they could be violent at this time throughout the week we were following reports of the israeli army arming settlers there were reports that they were arming them with stun grenades and tear gas so those reports are be downgrading of relationships between israel in turkey comes at a particularly bad time when the situation on the ground is already tense and could potentially just be exacerbated even further. as cross live now to jerusalem to talk to dr nimrod goren the founder of the israelis to regional foreign policies for more on this and many has being with us here dr coren so how bad in your opinion is this downgrade in diplomatic relations and military cooperation for turkey israel relations. relation has and paul is in use in peals but this whole relationship to
8:05 am
a totally different and an already level diplomatic relations will be and can always be have been in the last twenty or more years among the community relations be shoved down the matter of fact. and basically all cooperation with our for so deal of the exactly the situation could the on going negotiations of the past month between these are intricately with a really good review. to avoid and unfortunately it's a very bad news for israel turkish relations there but widening the sell what does it mean for the region's politics considering that the major arab states are already weakened by the wave of uprisings. basically the idea presented an opportunity for israel to mend its relations with turkey turkey moving from its alliance with syria to more coordination with the us . so the fact that such an agreement between israel and turkey although was very close the eventually not age is quite
8:06 am
a blow to israel's regional foreign policy especially in the mountain which is expecting a very difficult if you might think that you are in a commission of a few states so now israel has less one friend and a very important friend a muslim country a nato member and e.u. applicant a very important regional player in last for quite some time but israel's perspective was israel's and that it was simply asking for the impossible from television even demanding this apology. the concern in israel about a demand of turkish apology it was composed of several components one of them was the national pride seeing the whole affair with different enough. turkey being irresponsible the other asians were trying to avoid legal lawsuits against the military personnel that were involved in the event and
8:07 am
a concern that even if we as it approached it would not be a significant improvement. relation having said that to many in these early establishment including top ministers in the current government across italy conciliation agreement with turkey which includes an apology because the acknowledge the importance of. the potential even if not the countries it is in should have called coordination. with whole not just the future hold now the findings of the un investigation are expected later today so is it out too late israel to rescue its relations with the task he now. currently yes what israel wasn't willing to do one or two weeks ago before the report was published is really not to do now that the report is legal the turkish foreign minister their reaction was. so now basically their formal relationship with the government we think it will always be
8:08 am
a period of playing games. maybe some moves in the international arena by turkey to isolate israel after civil society actors in israel and turkey who are committed to relations within the country to try and maintain at least what is possible and clearly a breakthrough will really happen sometime in the future and is there a worry that israel's becoming more isolated now with turkey downgrading its diplomatic ties just a few weeks ago egypt's i consider taking similar action is puniness it s. now he concerned about maintaining ties with his neighbors. i hope to deflect attention away into the negotiation for turkey for several months and according to media reports there's also willing to sign the agreement including apology to turkey so even if it signify that it is a clergyman the need for regional relation with its neighbors alternately government composition is very very right wing at the moment and all the hawkish
8:09 am
players that dominate israel's foreign policy have a big influence and if in the end because of their opposition to ministers like you like lieberman basically block that they have to be concerned with turkey we now have to imagine a more difficult september and he hoped to extract only a week or two of. them are gore and founder of the israeli institute for regional foreign policies and any person speaking to us from jerusalem. still ahead this hour starving a regime the e.u. have agreed on yet another round of sanctions against syria this time targeting its biggest source of income of oil. to libya now where the rebels are tightening the noose around colonel gadhafi his last major stronghold his hometown of sirte the fugitive leader's forces and given an extended deadline to surrender which expires next saturday about and to find only
8:10 am
a message by syrian t.v. it out the rally to supporters as you mentioned fight on against the rebels and they say the alliance is found to continue its airstrikes on more or less forces saying the u.n. mandate to protect civilians in libya still stands the coalition's also moving to release billions of dollars down things frozen assets on the reconstruction of libya but political advisers think the west is just trying to pull the strings of the country's future. its obvious that. the harbors of one i think they'll be a conflict between the people who supported them and the libyan the future libyan government the prince of libya want to control libya they want to make sure they're not immersed in the north. and they want to control the oil with the libyans of their own agenda. from their point of view although the help from me to the west
8:11 am
crucial in their victory means to forget the permanent friendship. and we the result of the situation is that no international law is simply dead you can get a u.n. resolution this lousy on lies or on very very hope or have no independent commission of the un or anything like that. to fact finding mission or anything of the saw and then you go to war you very little has illusion you do a war against the government of us are going down three and you thought police. ok and or go down the remains a man on the run to weeks after rebel forces overran tripoli his whereabouts unknown and some reports suggest he may even have fled abroad but the rebels that believe he is still in libya haile and one of his numerous secret. real financial went to ground for r.t. to gauge the scale of the challenging hunt for gadhafi but it was really hidden from the eyes of the public for many years remaining just one of the legends about the colonel became every little once the rubble through carefully here it is the
8:12 am
answer to gadhafi is on the ground city. the we're going. to sign in arabic at the hatch says the rats this way this is what people in libya call khadafi believe in his run away under the ground hiding from the rebels. there is no sound here of celebratory shootings above ground it's dark and humid and scary some believe that could go off he had the bomb shelter are those that it was a force of chief with his intelligence service some rooms look like living rooms like this one others just like prison cells yes there were more exciting findings i had this incredible rooms here i just packed with electronics of all kind. look at this it

a cia agent allison guy and here's his name all people as we found here classified marked top secret well that's interesting a book about the legal under legal dropping methods bugs amongst us it was from here that the libyan brother have been residents carefully no one can say for sure how far these underground tunnels thread but i believe all kilometers and kilometers some claim one of the corridors leads to the airport let's try to. that's not easy ok. here we are. this completely different the raster is here that's where we emerged in the city. talk of by the way we spent a while out of the ground it's not easy to recognize the area. let's ask the guys

russian president says economic support an investment what's needed to bring stability to afghanistan to meet him in a very central asian summit meeting with the leaders of afghanistan pakistan and as you can stand political and security ties between the nations are high on the agenda. in the gradual days and day following developments. more investments and not military operations that's how presently bet if described today the best possible remedy for the region fraught with drugs war and economic instability but russia's central asia is of course traditional sphere of interests and it has always been very sensitive to stability which the afghan war is causing in the region islamic radicalism and drug trafficking stemming from again it's done in pakistan in particular are the main security threats that russia self-important and the s. and so for dmitry medvedev said today the summit could be what it differently as
8:17 am
sink or swim that is to prosper economically to survive the region should rely on its own investment on its own military forces on its own human resources it's good that foreign alliances military troops are leaving afghanistan but the new troops at home should be trained that russia is there ready to help foreign investment investment overseas is good too but here is russia just across the border with hundreds of millions of dollars that is exactly how much moscow's ready to allocate behind peaceful blows of its neighbors in other words russia is coming up with a solution which is very often overlooked when we're talking about central asia and that is economic rejuvenation. ukraine says it wants to really negotiate existing gas deals. with the sorry we'll have more later businessperson for you but for now syria's facing a fresh round of sanctions it's all exports as e.u. countries have formally on a ball and go on. friday the also plans to its list of people time to
8:18 am
buy an asset freeze travel ban but the response to the regime's reported deadly repression of protesters since mid march and france britain and the u.s. are also calling for the u.n. security council to condemn violence in the country but russia remains strongly opposed to a u.n. resolution against syria foreign minister sergey lavrov has blamed the international community for creating tension the country. has found so not all syrians are unhappy with their government. really one of the poorest areas of the city of homes that this is where generally people are said to gather. proceed on to the center of homes demonstrations this is where most of the rest but as you can see this is a very lively area every time something like television happens it's more of an event now but when we talk to people they told us that the majority of it i'm the rest of the do come out in the city happened because of the religious basis they're
8:19 am
not against the government they're not for any political matter this is most of the things they do happen in homes most of the controversy that does happen holds promise on the religious basis on the differences between. sunni muslims in the streets you know there have been no tanks down there we have seen we did see some army residents we charge trying to keep the area under control or to prevent the end breasts which they are religious groups but other than that we haven't seen or heard any shooting we haven't seen any tanks and why freely seems to be running the way it usually runs until of course television crews show up and start filming in the mid. to date now we also have been in one of the most dangerous areas of homes and other right around the time off the air unfortunately in syria the period after noon prayers has become somewhat a traditional time for people to take to the streets and for violence to break out but we were lucky there was no violence this time around about was our reporting
8:20 am
from the syrian city of homs. the un security. has supposedly missed an important piece of evidence in the case against war crimes suspect that it it's now a copy of an archive interview with former bosnian serb general just a few weeks ago on the channel it was recorded shortly after the alleged massacre in one thousand nine hundred five and think it's not it's making serious allegations against u.n. peacekeepers in bosnia and he said now we have the details. what was an archive never before seen video footage of that interview before r t published it some two weeks ago very serious claims there and really that's what makes it so shocking that the tribunals missed this what could be very important evidence in the trial archie of course will fully cooperate and hand over that video footage to help with the ongoing proceedings in the hague i just want to give you an idea of what
8:21 am
exactly was said in that interview one of the strongest statements as we see it and i'm quoting here is instead of disarming the muslim formations as they had committed themselves to doing the united nations forces turnbow safe areas into terrorist and fundamentalist bases from where our villages and towns were attacked now malott it also goes on to say that he believes the un was smuggling weapons into demilitarized shows you can see the severity of these claims and how they could possibly be very important evidence and again shocking really that the hague tribunals miss this stuff first off because it was filmed in one thousand nine hundred five just after the serbian it's a massacre which is one of the atrocities that melodic shiz is being accused of why he's standing trial in the first place and second of all it was filmed by a western t.v. station and is available in the bosnian archives to very surprising that this video footage which could certainly be a very important moments and very important material in the trial was missed by the
8:22 am
tribunals and its eighteen years of existence the tribunals has faced harsh criticism about it being biased it's fierce his critics go on to say that it's a political show not a court of law and this is going to not weaken those claims and by this i mean of course this latest news that the tribunals missed what could be very important evidence and part of the fact the reason i should say and what these critics base their facts on is that seventy percent of the indictments that the court has issued have all been against serbs and when you look at. who is being tried over the past almost two decades you could say when you look at the circus side and other generals or officials that have been tried a lot of them have been given march last year sentences and some of them have even been acquitted and again this latest if you will missing of evidence by the tribunals is not going to help in criticism that the hague is in fact bias. russia
