5:04 am
and to turn to of serbia and this is this is a classical stalemate nato is going to keep doing what they're trying to do and the serbs are going to be doing with do trying to do nato has the force the serbs said no they're not the arms so nato has the initiative they have the power and obviously they're willing to use it against unarmed civilians and you can find more on the unstable situation because of i was on our web site r.t. dot com go online to get the latest updates as well as the background to be serbian and possible conflict you can also find a number of stories by our correspondents reporting from the scene all of them at r.t. dot com. now five minutes past the hour here in moscow russia is ready to pull out of the start nuclear arms reduction treaty if the u.s. continues with its plans to deploy a missile defense shield in europe president dmitri medvedev warned that moscow
5:05 am
made move its own offensive missile systems to its borders in response teams and so now it has more on this. press's reaction to the active development of plans for this missile defense shield in eastern europe came in the form of an announcement from president meets major where he highlighted five steps that the russian federation would take if the u.s. and nato don't reconsider their plans first of all activated immediately will be early radar warning stations in kaliningrad which is russia's most western enclave the country's nuclear strategic forces will be strengthened significantly he pointed out that this needs to happen quote urgently the country's strategic missiles will be fitted with advanced kind of tracing systems and latest generation warheads and he's also notify the armed forces that a system needs to be developed that could destroy data exchange in the control systems of this planned missile defense shield if these steps are not enough the president pointed out that this would be russia's last resort. other measures are
5:06 am
insufficient to the russian contemporary strike systems in the west and south east in order to prevent further damage from u.s. missile systems in europe the system of the deployment of these kind of missile systems in accounting and region will be one such step if the situation develops in an unfavorable way russia will reserve the right to cease further steps to noumea additional amount and arms control. next to the linkage between strategic offensive and defensive weapons yes reasons could emerge from russia from the strategic arms reduction treaty because this is a vision within the content of the treaty the president pointed out once again emphasizing that he believes dialogue is the way to go and that cooperation is still possible it's not too late but promises are just not going to be enough russia needs a legally binding agreements from nato and the u.s. that these systems are not meant as a deterrent against them from the was a lot of the same rhetoric that russia has been listening to for years again that
5:07 am
this system is meant aimed against so-called rogue states like iran and north korea but it's not any way meant to get. russia that they do believe that russia and the west have separate systems from the representatives from the national security council be heard that cooperation again they praise president has made a statement about further cooperation but also pointed out this is very important that they will continue to cooperate with that pursuit of cooperation will in no way be limited or changed or changed the plans for missile defense shield and then from secretary general rasmussen of nato we heard again praise for the statement on dialogue and cooperation but he say he's disappointed by president medvedev statement that it's not in the spirit of russia nato cooperation but again if you look at a map you will see very clearly that nato is rapidly expanding eastwards on russia's what's eastwards on russia's western border you have the united states and their bases all throughout the middle east and then up russia's eastern seaboard you have
5:08 am
bases in japan and south korea so basically russia is being surrounded and it's pretty easy to understand why this is such a major concern for their national security. and economic reporting right there but we would like to know what you think of the subject of missile defense if you go to our website amanpour dot com you can take part in our latest poll that separate out the numbers here today we're asking you what will russia's warnings over america's missile shield plans resulted in numbers of forty six percent of you saying it will see a republican in the white house and and. the second most popular response critics the public on speeding up deployment twelve percent of you believe russia's objections would lead to europe waking up and saying no to the u.s. and a minority thinks the u.s. will compromise and agree to moscow you have your say go online r.t. dot com right now. there are still ahead for you this hour here on our justice in the dog while the fate of moammar gadhafi is captured son remains unclear we report

5:11 am
using a tear gas that is banned in international circles but we have no independent confirmation of that but certainly of all of the tear gas will be something that will be debated in days of up needs to come because even now as i speak to you there is the heavy off the smell of tear gas and last night and saw people coughing we saw people flooring up blood were not in the course of at least one doctor who was killed when it was a tear gas was fired at a makeshift clinic which was treating patients. here in times square. and his policy reporting from cairo now about eleven minutes past the hour here in moscow now european commission president jose manuel barroso and german chancellor angela merkel look set for a bus stop the unelected brussels bureaucrat wants to if he wants to pull a single currency project out of the hole it's in prosser has also warned the euro could collapse and us governments are more economically integrated but merkel absolutely opposes the proposal of collecting and borrowing saying that euro bonds
5:12 am
are the last thing anyone needs right now patrick young the executive director of the investment advisory firm would be advisers says the germany's was fed up of paying for other countries mistakes. the problem is that if you're people like germany or the finns or somebody who's been fiscally responsible over the course of the past twenty years or even fifty years then you know that you're reaping the rewards you can go and borrow money out a very very low interest rate in the case of somewhere like germany even yesterday with the worst bomb dogshit in a generation they were still only paying two and a little bit percent for their for their money now the problem is if you're one of the pigs countries or you're somewhere like greece you can't borrow for any money because ultimately you are essentially no longer a welcome member of the borrowers club and the problem is that the german see it as following a euro bond is basically a case of putting lipstick on the pigs quite literally in every possible sense and of course the other countries who are currently shop lied to the foreign market or
5:13 am
have to borrow at very expensive writs want to be part of a club where hopefully they will be able to borrow money and bill be able to borrow it much much more cheaply than they can get it in their own right either one of those r.p.i. g.s.r. countries or portugal has been hit by a twenty four hour strike workers are protesting an austerity budget designed to help the country reduce its debt lisbon's international airport is console or services with traffic controllers walking away from their posts it comes prospects and fragile finances are driving more young people abroad it is a ridiculous cover of course. now expect readers ready to go leaving her home and has probably never been easier critical why stay in portugal when we know that architects with five years' experience are paid just eight hundred euros a month is a question a lot of young specialists have been asking themselves legally and surprising answers to leave for portugal's former colonies like brazil since two thousand and
5:14 am
two and has been rather stable there the national truth and then a massive reconstruction process again so there are a lot of opportunities for a civil construction companies especially and a lot of what she is still construction companies winter and they're currently very very active and go maybe know something about any portuguese are starting to view it at least to the present day. an african country rich in diamonds and oil resources presents an advertising opportunity for a lot of people who have lost hope of finding a decent job at home for a member of over who ever i tell i'm moving abroad invariably says ruined can you get my job two friends even asked me to take their c.v. . according to some reports around ninety thousand fortunately they're currently living compared with just ten thousand in two thousand to some goalkeeper better income but most are simply looking for something something better than the ever worsening situation is called recently i think salaries unfortunately are not the
5:15 am
main reason and the main reason is the lack of opportunities in the portuguese markets due to the well to the prizes the mass exodus of portugal's young smart educated labor tends the end of an era for the country a lot of specialize people have hired a creation scientists brain drain as yet you call it that to go and work we've abroad and study abroad and to stay there and of course we will most likely never recover those human assets like return. he hardly think twice before moving abroad that is aging work for a decent salary far outweighing any possible fear of flying he didn't go was been now a quarter past the hour here in moscow or more of our news coverage along with the latest videos are always available online team dot com let's have a look right now at some stories waiting for you there right now giving up and standing down against the president. has finally signed
5:16 am
a deal aimed at ending this thirty three year old. also want to web site of being of hope the european space agency receives a signal from a stranded interplanetary probe which was sent on a mission to mars two weeks ago. the . ideas come to life from moscow after colonel gadhafi was battlefield execution last month there have been hopes that is captured son saif al islam would receive a fair trial but there are growing fears now that that won't be the case in the hands of libya's new rulers and as are his other bennett reports there are some powerful figures outside the country who could influence the course of justice. say fell islam gadhafi is a man with
5:17 am
a lot to say he's the last chance the world has to know how they get that the regime turned from public enemy number one to buddies 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 but 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 or the the western interests look at look at what happened with the trial of little bitch you can be sure the. the information that the gadhafi family has about the relationship between could afy and the cia over decades will not come out say it that he was his father's right hand man the crucial mediating go between with 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
5:18 am
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 is 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 previous role as international pariahs libya's oil wealth meant it had a lot to give some details of what britain won in return have already emerged safe 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 he's fall from favor was southern and spectacular according to save their former friends have been trying to cover up any links turning against them desperate to stave off a trial at the international criminal court. a little what they are trying to
5:19 am
negotiate with us a deal to have us of this the in with ticket care of the court what does the new. it means. is controlled by those countries. which attack us with and i don't think it's going to be in anyone's interest for this to promote a new government in libya want blood that's my reading of it europe wants silence and wants to do is move on to try to because of course the hypocrisy in the goggle dealing of europe with one hand condemning human rights abuses rather limited kind of wide at the same time deporting gadaffi the enemies back to libya who were tortured almost at the very point when tony blair was making the graphic in the tent so i think there's an awful lot of truth that ought to come out and i really doubt it ever will. was. libby
5:20 am
insists it's capable of giving a fair trial despite its judicial system not being independent for over forty years is still unclear where safety that he will be trying to rival ruling factions of fighting over who gets to exact revenge with a death penalty likely the same safety deathy and his secrets will be silenced on the bennetts artsy london. now you got your life in moscow we can live through constantine it cut off the head of russia's state duma foreign affairs committee thank you for coming on the program today we're going to cover two stories one of the missile defense but for now let's start with the breaking news of the tensions at the serbia kosovo border as we know why nato troops have been using tear gas to disperse crowds of serbs refusing to dismantle barricades along because of those northern border tensions flare up again what is russia's response to the latest on unrest on the serbian kosovo border. will be hopefully.
5:21 am
the response will not be a military one we definitely do not want to come into direct confrontation of these either nato or anybody else but the situation as it is developing right now is extremely alarming. because for serbs feel themselves desperate they feel themselves betrayed the feel themselves alone and this is why many of them have addressed russia in order to seek for russian citizenship probably this is a more political action a result any further development but this is a very strong signal to both nature and to the ruling. in syria and in corso that the situation is abnormal and their distribution needs further political attention you know order to protect human rights of people who believe
5:22 am
there are before anybody proceeds further on that is the in the question of the status i see as you say as you say the situation is abnormal it requires some form of political protection but ultimately though at the end of the day what do you think is the solution to the deadlock. the solution is to resume negotiations between greece to. in the end bell groups it may sound unrealistic for now but there is no other option but to resume political talks and to find a solution which will be accepted by belgrade by priest and by anybody else most included in the first hand by people who live in kosovo and who are who do not belong to the major nationality in the in these current results political talks without political agreements these are the tension we will continue to to exist to and probably to greece and further later it will lead to.
5:23 am
two people who would do the software out of these physically who would probably be killed or want to sedate it and this is completely unacceptable in the more than the europe if we can just for a moment changing gears here regarding the russian president twenty four hours ago i dimitri medvedev and i was in his answer to america's european missile defense shield as we know washington's plan is to set up these are radar stations a missile stations are essentially on russia's front doorstep to defend against what it calls a rogue states like iran and north korea now moscow is saying that it might go ahead with a fully implementing its missiles these kind of missiles in kaliningrad now washington says it won't alter its plans to deploy this nato defense system in europe and russia now may opt out of the start all we heading towards a new arms race. number one.
5:24 am
i believe of crucial importance is that it is not russia who goes ahead it is the united states of america globally nato who goes ahead and the russian reaction is just a reaction i believe there in the statement of mr mineta from yesterday one should see three major. one is there. it is not about an action this is about a counter action we have to take certain measures in order to balance the. eventual damage to the. nuclear armaments balance and stability which has existed until now number two is that measures are announced by mr president to be taken within the russian national borders we do not have beyond the national borders and this is the huge difference between the east and we in america instead
5:25 am
to be on their national borders in order to protect their national security mission our military mission because you have all russia terribly so i'm terribly sorry to interrupt you are running very very low on time here eyes we know as you're saying russia's response to washington's european missile defense shield it's one of defense that it's been forced into this corner that it might go ahead and fully establish these it's kind of missiles in kaliningrad but tell us this why has the u.s. continually refused to provide written guarantees that their defense shield in europe won't be aimed at russia. we have no answer on there for us it is absolutely easy to see of their type of return. declarations or commitments and for the way it is not being done that we are being refused to receive these type of commitments confirms their concerns are really serious and that the actions of the united states in terms of developing the global arms in
5:26 am
a self defense system are aimed not just against iran or north korea but finally gave countries like russia now a russian president dmitri medvedev he does say that russia is not closing the dialogue with nato and the us do you truly think something can be achieved at the upcoming russia nato council meeting in december or will it just be more empty talk on the side of the west. well it depends completely on our partners even the ridea to listen to russia good taking into account our concerns everything is possible and they want to salute you surely can reach a mutually acceptable green and in case they will proceed he did nor russian prince syrians unfortunately we will face another armory harm free speech in russia definitely one story we're absolutely right cause i can cause a top of the head of russia's state duma foreign affairs committee many thanks for
