developed for that which happened in yugoslavia after the west decided to pick it apart so there is a legal basis you know the sure for this but the legal basis comes more or less at the point of a gun and so it's kind of hard to you know it's one thing to talk about a legal basis pro forma and it's another to talk about a legal basis the fuck go i really don't see a justification for what's happening in terms of the actual facts on the ground i just see one more act that's a pattern of blatant international aggression by nato in the united states kosovo has been a part of serbia for a long time and kosovo and serbia did very well together with in yugoslavia until tensions were you know stirred up more or less by u.s. intelligence and we can find more on the unstable situation in concert on our

website r.t. dot com so go on line to get the latest updates as well as the background to the servian possible conflict can also find a number of stories by our correspondents reporting from the scene all that energy dot com. russia is ready to pull out of the starts nuclear arms reduction treaty if the u.s. continues with its plans to deploy and missile defense shield in europe president reagan would be out of war in that moscow name of its own to fans of missile systems to his borders in response he's an isa now he has more. it's a very harsh in direct words from president traded on the development of clowns for the u.s. nato and their eastern european allies to build and develop that missile defense shield in eastern europe just outside russia's border he pointed out five steps that the russian federation would take if nato the u.s. and its allies don't reconsider first soft early missile warning systems will be immediately activated including grad which is russia's most western enclave just

outside just across the border i should say from the plans for that missile defense shield also the country's two teachers nuclear forces will be strengthened significantly the president said the paddies to happen urgently and also the armed forces has been notified that it needs to create a system that would be able to destroy my data exchange and the control systems of that missile defense shield in eastern europe like i said once again it can't be struts not just outside of russia's border if all of those stats aren't enough for nato and its allies to reconsider this would be russia's last resort. just a beach if other measures are insufficient at the russia will deploy and temporary strike systems in the west themselves in order to prevent further damage from the us missile systems to glide into the system of deployment to be as kind of missile system in the coming of the region will be one such step if the situation develops in an unfavorable way russia will reserve the right to cease further steps are needed i mean to do some amount and arms control. give me an extra couple link

between strategic offensive and defensive weapons yet reasons could emerge from russia's withdrawal from the strategic arms reduction treaty this is a vision within the content of the treaty that has to be pointed out that president medvedev once again stressed that it's not too late that russia does believe that dialogue can help to reach some kind of agreement that satisfies both sides in terms of missile defense the start treaty the latest one of course signed an april twenty ten hells as a tremendous step in the reset so fast. the word to withdraw from the treaty would be a huge step back in terms of russia u.s. relations president reagan once again said but that we need a legally binding guarantees that those systems are not resistance against not so they're practically surrounded from europe down to the middle east and that up because if there is to seaboard in the pacific in terms of bases in japan south korea russia saying that they need more guarantees than just the u.s. and its allies say you just have to trust us or so russia and the west very much

moving in different directions russia feels that if the u.s. and nato can't meet eye to eye with them they have every right to create their own system and protect their national interests and he's now reporting their political analyst he's out of pocket says that a one sided to fan system is a dangerous prospect which could lead to disastrous consequences for europe once one side has missile defense courage that's actually launched a first strike so this kind of movement these kinds of threats actually increase the chance of a nuclear war or even back so that when we were not even deliberate this is something that's very dangerous for europe itself for western europe especially we're talking about rogue states they're all outside of europe russia has been proposing to do or joints missile defense will be based much down to the south would say iran has the right job turkey now if you have missile defense over europe

you know what happens you intercept the missile over europe you're in danger in a densely populated continent for some reasons which are not being made clear to anybody so this has a double or triple danger what's going on right now. now for its part washington says it won't alter its plans to deploy a nato missile defense system in eastern europe the white house insists that the shield isn't meant to be a strategic deterrent to russia and she's going to check out has the details. the u.s. is not planning on making any changes to its missile defense system in europe we heard this from national security council spokesman tommy vietor he said we will continue to work with russia to define the parameters of possible cooperation however in pursuing this cooperation we will not in any way limit or change our deployment plans in europe he also said the u.s. missile defense system is designed to reflect. a growing threat to our allies from iran and that we are committed to deterring we have explained to russian officials that the missile defense system planned for deployment in europe do not and cannot

threaten russia's strategic deterrent well nato secretary-general made a statement along the same lines with good clearly russians have a different analysis of the situation but what's interesting many u.s. media outlets go with headlines like this one russia may target u.s. missile defense sites and in those headlines it's all looking very intimidating but not often do the u.s. media mention that for russia it's a last resort and president made it it made it clear that russia would rather not deploy new missiles and go into an arms race over the fact that the u.s. has rejected all of russia's missile defense proposals doesn't doesn't leave much choice but is she kind of working there still have this hour here in r t justice in the dark while the fate of market obvious captured some remains unclear as we were before the why saif al islam isn't being extradited to the hague and it fears he may never receive a fair trial. thousands of egyptians are continuing to occupy to

where your square after days of unrest demanding the country's military rulers resign immediately protesters have been battling with security forces in the longest outbreak of violence since february zone prizing well we can now cross live to our correspondent policy years the latest for us from egypt so paula tell us what the atmosphere is like risk right now i have high emotions subsided overnight and what's the likelihood of demonstrators demonstrators key. bring up the momentum today. well it's still early morning here in tahrir square although looking around it certainly seems as if people have chosen to remain go overnight ended in the previous nights of more people here on the streets than they were at this time yesterday last night we saw some of the fiercest street battles so far with police firing tear gas rubber bullets and even reports of live ammunition the number of did is now being pushed at nearly fourteen with the egyptian health ministry saying that some three thousand two hundred and fifty people have been injured we are

hearing from the supreme council of the armed forces two generals from the ruling military spoke on egypt and television they say that they plan to come here to tell here today thursday they plan to meet with the people they say that they have been enduring unfair criticism which office wondering with generals insisting that the military still plans to hand over power they have been promising that all trials that are being held in military courts with the exception of very few will be moved to civilian courts and at the same time they say that if it is true that security forces have been using excessive force they will be investigated and brought to book now the human rights watch he has said that there has with out any kind of of contrary evidence in live ammunition they say that there have been at least twenty two people who have been killed because of gunshot wounds to behave and for the first time we're hearing from the health ministry here that indeed security

forces police and army have been using live rounds. all right paul well today will be the same day that protesters are going for testing their entire free or square and still there they are not showing signs of backing down so what is their reaction of the authorities what's their response so far. with the big question on everyone's mind on the political level is whether or not the next monday's planned parliamentary elections will go ahead and what we're hearing though is that now political parties are mining over the course ability of delaying these elections for some two weeks on the one hand the there are those reports coming through on the other hand we know that in several centers around the country candidates continue to campaign and the army really finds itself between a rock and a hard place on the one hand if it delays these elections it will be heavily criticized on the other hand when you see the violence unfolding on the streets of cairo it does seem rather difficult how the army can go ahead and organize such

emissions the muslim brotherhood has been severely criticized for not participating in these latest protests with many critics now saying that the brotherhood is much more intent on winning seats in next week's election and actually coming to turkey square and participating with the voice of the people certainly it is a given that the muslim brotherhood was c.v.t. largest supporters if those elections go ahead next week not later today here in cairo the arab league will be meeting to discuss syria the league has said that it is ready to impose sanctions on damascus and here critics like the international community and the region are pointing at double standards on behalf of the arab league they said that the need is quick to respond to what is happening in damascus but here where egypt goods the arab league has been extremely in pockets to be quite effective said very little the same time we're hearing from the presidential hopeful mohamed el baradei he is still mulling over whether or not to form a new government he has been tossed with the option of doing this he is

a presidential hopeful but the supreme council of armed forces has asked him if he's the. ok to take up the position of prime minister what we understand is that he's not certain because he wants guarantees first that he will be free to choose whatever cabinet he sees put on the topic of tear gas which is a burning question here in turkey a square a very he says that he has some kind of proof that a nerve agent has been used we are also hearing reports that security forces are using a tear gas that is banned in international circles but we have no independent confirmation of that but certainly the role of the tear gas will be something that will be debated in days if not weeks to come because even now as i speak to you there is the heavy off the snow off to the gas and last night we saw people coughing we saw people throwing up blood and we're not going to ports out at least one doctor who was killed when the wanted to guess was fired at an h. clinic which was treating patients here in toughness where. are our thanks very much indeed for bringing us the very latest from egyptian capital cairo pose the

reporting there. so it seems the mood among many on the streets of egypt as you've probably heard is that nothing much has changed since president mubarak was toppled in february but writer and journalist william on joss says that washington has a vested interest in keeping the country at boiling point the question is is who. organizing behind the scenes that these demonstrations in tahrir square take place again and the muslim brotherhood comes in the largest organized political force in egypt as well as the participants in the earlier twitter revolution in the early spring so and the role of washington has has been very curious in all of this so one suspects that there is a deeper agenda going on here and the pentagon is not all that upset with the pressure being put on the military it's bringing the whole process into

a second wave of course normal egyptians and i know many normal egyptians who deeply want to have a democratic country and are sick and tired of corrupt dictatorships from the military that's understandable but. this question of democracy is not a process that comes from from street revolutions in the course of history there's no one example i can think of where it has. you know to marty live from moscow still a callous hour from a stereotype angle why many affordable smart as sharp as starting up to find jobs in some than expected places in africa and south america. africa that are his belfield execution last month there have been hopes is captured son saif al islam would receive a fair trial but there are growing fears that won't be the case in the hands of libya's new rulers and artists are about reports that are powerful figures in the west who could influence the course of justice. say

fell islam gadhafi is a man with a lot to say he's the last chance the world has to know how the good that the regime turned from public enemy number one to prison but the ease with britain and the other western powers but the international criminal court in the hague says it's not going to extradite him allowing libya to try him instead at libyan officials already calling for the death penalty many fear it's a tactic to keep those dirty secrets hidden forever that's a controlled forum where the the western interests look at look at what happened with the trial of which you can be sure that the information that the khadafi family has about the relationships between could offer in the cia over decades will not come out safety that he was his father's right hand man the crucial mediating go between but the west he enjoyed a playboy lifestyle in london counting tony blair peter mandelson and prince andrew amongst his pals there are even reports he was entertained at buckingham palace

this is where safety that he was given a place to study i want to london's top universities because even invited back here to give a speech as recent as last year was introduced by his old professor as someone who looks to democracy civil society and think liberal values for the core of his inspiration a far cry from the good that he's previously. international pariahs libya's oil wealth meant it had a lot to give some details of what britain won in return have already emerged safety daffy's album art it was given one and a half million pounds by his charitable foundation as part of a deal to educate hundreds of libya's future civil servants and it wasn't just britain according to get daffy libya funded nicolas sarkozy's path to the presidency but they get that piece fall from favor was sudden and spectacular according to safe they form of friends have been trying to cover up any links turning against them desperate to stave off

a trial at the international criminal court. i know they were trying to negotiate with us a deal to get this deal with the. court what does it mean. it means is that it's a call is controlled by those countries. which attack us but and i don't think it's going to be in anyone's interest for this to come out of the new government in libya what blood of my reading of it europe what silence and wants to do is move on to try to because of course the hypocrisy in the double dealing of europe with the one hand condemning human rights abuses rather limited kind of way the same time deporting gaffney's enemies back to libya who were tortured almost at the very point when tony blair was making a graphic in the tent so i think there's an awful lot of truth that ought to come out and i really doubt it will.

be insists it's capable of giving a fair trial despite its judicial system not being independent for over forty years and still unclear where safety that he will be tried rival ruling factions of fighting over who gets to exact revenge with the death penalty likely that same safety daffy and his secrets will be silenced are the bennett see london. civil war is over but it seems peace has not yet returned to libya clashes between loyalists of slain leader moammar gadhafi and government troops erupted in the city of by well lead leaving seven people that just days after the country's new government was formed several clans have come forward to say they won't recognize it this comes as the latest man report has revealed that about seven thousand people are still being held in levy in detention centers controlled by revolutionary forces. in our news francis cold for a security zone to protect civilians in syria it's the first time and major western
