too many parties who have interests. should be silenced for a. party speaks the architects of the libyan uprising against moammar gadhafi or the former n.t. senior voicing what many had long suspected. moscow and washington see eye to eye over the role of special envoy kofi annan mission in syria as a first step towards peace presence but the end of an obama meat for the final time and. it's easier to deal with a dead soldier the kidnapped soldier criticism of

a controversial israeli army policy which calls on soldiers to avoid kidnapping costs even if it means taking their own life all that. well you're watching r t a very warm welcome to you today the man widely credited with spearheading the rebellion against moammar gadhafi has criticised the west for granting libya in its time of need speaking at the brussels form of global security . a country is now at risk of being taken over by extremists or correspondent listen to his speech and spoke to him in that. but the brussel summit one of the panel discussions focused on the countries that have gone through arab spring essentially looking at where they are right now and what the future holds for them given the number of different challenges they face and one of the new speakers

there was a real he was the interim prime minister of the national transitional council in libya and he did come there to highlight the progress or lack thereof of the country right now with the problems that libya is facing in trying to rebuild a civil society and he says one of the main things right this season is the lack of unity the lack of solidarity as we've seen an example where. part of the country if you can laugh at the where a federal state or more difficult at the moment is the fact that there are so a lot of militias there's hardly any rule of war it's very difficult to impose that rule of law there's a lot of human rights abuses being reported and those who are committing it it's very difficult to hold them accountable for their options and this is what he had to say show the time being because too many groups. committing. sometimes the. switch not compatible with the.

response would be cannot hold the government responsible for that because the go to prove those. well getting weapons off the street is still the main concern in libya it has been the case ever since the toppling of the regime but another thing that was brought up is a feeling coming from libya of disappointment of the fact that it's about that by the very same powers western powers in particular that have supported its cause to begin with. when the revolution or or their movement started there was a lot of concern coming from the outside a lot of concern for the plight of the people and afterwards it seems that they are nowhere to be seen aside from in his words a few intelligence elements on the ground and also speculated on gadhafi is death there's been a lot of questions surrounding the circumstances. this is what you have to say on this. is who have interest. should be silenced for ever. with that he was killed. by libyans who are

libyans and they are for the others. wolf what everyone wanted to know from history is the future of libya where is it go and whether the movement the revolution the efforts put into. the regime was actually worth it what he said there are certain criteria before that have to be satisfied before it could be tried to success and he did warn him that if things don't get solved in the immediate problems of libya today don't get solved as quickly as possible there may be a danger that it could slip back to a dictatorship again that there are no guarantees that this would happen again which is why he is urging for more vigilance and more help on the things that he sees our priorities in libya. i was artie's threats are severe and full interview with mark where djibril is coming up in just over an hour's time here in r.t. . now a summit to assess the threat of nuclear terrorism is underway in south korea and some fifty countries taking part u.s.

president barack obama has already threatened north korea with punishment if it goes ahead with launching a satellite next month and many fear is a disguised missile test this now is john sorensen right in the faculty of asian and middle eastern studies at cambridge university thank you for joining us here on our team now in washington agreed to send signals to pyongyang to refrain from the snow on which it insists will only carry a certain light why do you think north korea is pushing for this when it's bad by u.n. sanctions. i think it's probably ultimately an issue about domestic politics and the way you handle proceed with a new leader in the north i got to wonder if he had to assess its authority demonstrate to its public that it's clearly in charge that it can't be pushed around by the international community or this was a reflects i think the legacy of the transition to the new administration a good ration to the april fifteenth celebration of the hundred year anniversary of the people some the founder of north korea the north pole needs the satellite with

a missile launch twenty one your point of view as a means of demonstrating its assurance and its commitment to supporting the interest for its own people but you don't quote great strengths only as important because she has a record you create and weapons issue well indeed and with all that in mind what might happen if north korea ignores all these calls and does nor does the rocket. i think the difficulty is that the internet community and president obama as he's made very clear so summer. i know you seen it as a great provocation as a violation of the north's hot room and asked international agreements i think the going to negotiate the provide nutritional assistance to north korea in return for concessions only christian will be almost certainly taken off the table and it's very difficult to see how that agreement will stand if the north continues with its publication and so with this delicate balance then what do you think was behind the president obama's visit on sunday to the demilitarized zone that separates north

and south korea. i think primarily it's a demonstration of commitment to the alliance relationship with south korea president obama has a very close perhaps one of the best working relationships in asia media in iraq and of course this is a key my natural alliance relationship it's important to emphasize particular in the context of this summit which i think most important of those will accept the north is hostile to demonstrate the resort and resilience of the risk we're alliance. now turning to iran if we may president obama says a diplomatic solution must be achieved so that tehran could have peaceful nuclear energy how is this possible though many nations are so determined to uncover nuclear weapons even though there's really no evidence of this. well obviously reflects a difference in international community one of the things where iran is concerned we see now very clearly in the run up to this summit is an attempt by washington

solicit support from china to provide a negotiated settlement was around twenty percent of pressure mostly sanctions against the regime in tehran if it procedurally its nuclear weapons strategy to united states obviously is a key ally israel the presence of a nuclear armed iran stabilizing in the region and the way israel itself might take its own preemptive action is a source of grave grave concern to the americans a presenter but also said the united states has more weapons than it needs and is leaning towards more reductions is that likely. i think so i think we've seen it done pigs back to two thousand and ten and president obama's first commitment and you security summit a rollback on the world's possession of nuclear weapons and yet a close cooperation between moscow and washington i think it's worth emphasizing these are two countries that are working a great roar in this particular context to try to rid the world of nuclear weapons because that brings us back to the nuclear security summit which is an attempt to

make progress to continue momentum that was developed so effectively in two thousand and chad but it's a great point out of meeting in two thousand and fourteen hopefully which will provide further evidence of progress in this critical area and here of course the way it's not so much the individual action of independent states like iran and north korea but the risk of proliferation and it's worth it out of terrorist organizations ok and on the science and right from the faculty of asian and middle eastern studies at cambridge university thank you for that today. on a controversial army policy calling on soldiers to avoid capture at all costs even if it means taking their own lives has come under fire in israel it follows a deal last year that saw the release of one israeli soldier in exchange for more than a thousand palestinian prisoners what kind of swap is one that israel doesn't want to see repeated as artie's policy in our ports. it's that time of year

again when no one's called up to put his life on the line for his country. when you go before. you understand that you might not come back. and six israeli soldiers never did come back another nineteen were returned in prisoner exchange deals for active the soldiers present a huge problem on a strategic level for our country which is why in the one nine hundred eighty s. the israeli army introduced its hanibal protocol it says i.d.f. soldiers must prevent a kidnapping of a fellow soldier even if it sees him killed. none of. them other. than bomb iran. it's easier to deal with a good soldier of them a kidnapped soldier and that message was loud and clear last year when israel set free more than one thousand palestinian prisoners in exchange for one captured

israeli soldier. and that price say one in five israelis is simply too high but will a force commanders to get strict and insist the soldiers kill a con made rather than have him captured or sawyer is going to sure it's the instincts. is the strongest this emotion familiar. but this fight is not so sure he knows the power his uniform has to hold his country to ransom i would like a question i will. try to prove. avoid. looking at any cost even at the risk of being killed by friendly fire the ultimate price for a soldier to pay. policy r t tel aviv. with r.t. and still ahead later this hour brain drain from the baltic once of the economy

here is finding its brightest and best leaving a country divided by rampant unemployment. with no end in sight the crisis in syria is still dominating international headlines and has been in the spotlight at the final meeting between the leaders of russia and the u.s. the outgoing president medvedev was meeting with president obama on the sidelines of a nuclear security summit and so with our team. joins us now with the latest on. this meeting was the final one between the two presidents what's been said. well a lot of things of course they have to discuss obviously the last meeting for president medvedev in his capacity as such as the leader of russia but of course the one subject which dominated. on the sidelines was the syria issue and of course the two presidents have agreed that the mission by kofi annan is

absolutely intrinsic in order to reinstall stability and peace in that country listen to what president medvedev had to say on the matter. we have agreed with the u.s. president the. positive step. for dialogue between different operating in syria at the moment we are prepared to provide. any. coffee on was in moscow just on sunday and after his talks with the russian president dmitry medvedev said that their loans mission is absolutely vital in order to prevent an all out bloody civil war in syria says that of course was one matter where russia and the united states seem to see eye to eye but of course there was also an issue among other issues which were which were hubbard was the issue of a missile defense shield in europe and unfortunately in this in this case both countries remain where they stand and that is they agreed to disagree so to speak

this is what the russian president said on this issue. of course you need to use we stick to our positions russia's position and the united states. john we're going to be issues not. three and frankly speaking you. agree on this issue. so it does look like there is a light at the end of the tunnel of course you have to remember that the american president has rather tough here he has to he's running for reelection so he's got a lot of issues on his plate but it would be and of course both presidents have underlined several times that this was a very productive last several last several years in fact russian president said that the past three years between a moscow and washington have been the best in over the past ten years when it comes to relations between the two countries remember the reset button the exception to

w.q. all russia's russia's before search which was of course supported by the united states so there is of course there are still some disagreements two countries are facing but it does look like they are determined to talk things out and have come to agreement on some vital issues as well. ok art is really good school thank you. well international peace envoy kofi annan is now headed for china but he secured russia's backing for his efforts to bring the bloodshed in syria to an end it comes as the syrian national council the rebel of origin claiming to be the country. calls it the position groups since he has been losing support with the group splintering away from it as an invited every. turkey attempt to woo them back under its wing and middle east blogger culture assess the opposition's internal bickering driving away western support. what allowed this struggle to

become a protracted one and for syria to take such a particular path is the fact that there's no coherent opposition leadership has emerged and aside from the fact that our political political division there isn't one political authority that has control over the r. and groups where the. f.s.a. the free syrian army or other groups on the ground they haven't been able to expand their support base within their country and they haven't been able to unify politically and that's kind of what explains this inability to. action the west doesn't have any syria it's been very large but it doesn't really have a clear plan of action and you saw the sanctions by you i mean then really it's a joke it's it's sort of when you don't have any other initiative or any other pressure to apply this kind of sanctions on the president's wife and his mother so all of the. a lot of ideas in the western about what to do in syria and i think

where it's significant is russia seizing the initiative. putting on a certain pathway. and over on our web site r.t. dot com you can find any other stories you may have missed as well as the latest on the world's top stories here's a preview of what's lined up for you that day gone dark for the troops responsible for avengers airstrike that killed twenty four soldiers america's key ally pakistan i'm not going to be charged with this something also unlike. the beatles famous on the road album cover this will repeat used in russia as a solid b. comes up with a daring project for a new monument. he added.
