a nuclear summit plus. it's easier to. deal with a good soldier the kidnapped soldier after israel's targeting of a thousand prisoners to return one soldier the military urges troops to kill themselves or each other to avoid capture. here's uncommon broadcasting from the heart of moscow and parents. of former libyan prime minister who was the driving force against moammar gadhafi during that nato campaign is accusing the west of forgetting their entree after toppling the colonel mahmoud jibril it told the security forum in brussels that the resulting power vacuum leaves libya open to extremists our correspondents are silly i asked for his thoughts about why gadhafi was killed in an exclusive interview for our team. that

was something a very interesting the whole world was watching when it actually happened and to hear him have his theories on what could have been the cause or who was actually behind it was really very interesting let's listen to what he had to say there are too many parties who have interest. it doesn't to he should be silenced forever. that he was killed by a foreign entity or killed by libyans or libyans and they are from others i really don't know. now what's interesting there is if you remember from the from the beginning he was traveling around the world visiting foreign leaders to get their support to oust the regime he was then leading the effort in the m.t.c. against the regime and afterwards after some of the investigation or the sorts of questions arising on the death of gadhafi the way he was killed he himself a pass a suspicion and i have doubts it was a foreign power which western power were you referring to and that's what he said right now i can say i don't know it could be foreign to discount the fact that it

could have been. a foreign power that was question from the very beginning in fact in that the brussels form it was very open and i think honest revelation of. i am thankful for grateful for nato support and i just need to the other countries as well outside of me that have provided arms and what's ironic here now is he also came in there saying that the biggest problem in libya right now is to get the guns off of the street and so it's a bit ironic we saw that ok you have the help coming in in the form of arms and now that is the biggest problem to create a civil society a democratic society of he himself has been trying to push for for the time being he has too many groups. committing. some crimes is the. switch not compatible with human rights. going to hold them responsible he cannot hold the government responsible for that because the government is not in control

of those groups i actually one of the main topics that we wanted to discuss with them was about mr groups what he actually thought of that extremism or even even archivists presence in the region let's listen to what he had to say i'm not. having. this. result in extreme as and if that happens the whole european continent is going to suffer from. it. is so this rise of possible extremism and could be the level varies depending on the country we've seen in the arab spring countries the rise of such groups as islamism groups and those with with that foundation in their political view and now in the international context what was interesting we asked him is how do you think the whole world or europe in the u.s. is going to react to a possibly new leader that's legitimately elected by the people of these countries all of you have that may not be in accordance with the interests of those countries that supported them so that was a very interesting part of the interview and he had shared his thoughts on those.

we'll bring you just as full interview with mark more cerebral next hour in the meantime libya is not the only country struggling to heal the scars of revolution later today i want our extended report on the phone from the arab spring uprisings across the middle east and north africa. some people view what is happening on the streets no it is you know the after forty very wild card with regard to the whole of reichl to disagree i don't even think the point to go. we're still waiting for the true revolution to happen. creo may not officially be on the agenda of the nuclear summit in saudi but it's something that's hard for leaders to avoid especially after barack obama's earlier warning to punish him for what he described as bad behavior over its plans

satellite launch has more on live a u.s. leaders striking a harsh tone. he rode to south korea only eat off the nuclear security summit and immediately went to the militarized zone separating north and south korea and basically started making his statements they are saying that the regime has nothing to gain from threats or provocations you also criticize them for so-called bad behavior and the reason for such harsh rhetoric is the planned satellite launch which north korea is hoping to conduct next month now the united states japan and south korea view this not as a as a satellite launch but rather as a missile test and they're being opposed to it of course the united states president obama in particular seems to have used the sidelines of the nuclear security summit in order to discuss a lot of international issues but primarily it looks like the u.s. is looking to increase its presence in in asia particularly in the asia pacific

region if you look at what's going on in south korea for example the base that is being built which housed u.s. naval ships and you have to remember the twenty eight thousand u.s. military personnel already stationed here and there's also plans to put more than twenty five hundred military personnel in australia over the next six years so a lot of people are saying that's why this harsh criticism or to north korea the united states is actually showing china that it's still mighty in the region in its keeping its presence here in asia and that it's also keeping an ever watchful eye on china. for the u.s. president who is trying to win support from china to increase pressure on north korea dr tim beal author and asia specialist says there's nothing legally wrong in actions. the koreans quite correctly distinguished will miss our

satellite satellite launch. and i mean it's interesting that the americans got through the sanctions long korea. back. when they were not your satellite and american said no no this is this are not. dark and you meant sunday trajectory that in fact it was satellite and. so. there is a clear distinction problem is of course a rocket which can launch a satellite is halfway to the rocket you can organise are crucial differences guidance system and most war because you have to have a war you know. we don't know if you have got that. problem from the americans point of view is that there is absolutely nothing illegal about look you know a satellite. thousands of five flights up in the sky why

distinguish north korean sounds like. for more on the story i'm joined by steve sound professor of contemporary chinese studies at the university of nottingham in england thanks for joining us now south korea threatens to shoot down the north korean rocket japan readies its anti-missile defense systems and the u.s. plans to punish spelling young for bad behavior that's i mean is that threat really that huge. well it's a very important symbolic matter for the americans and for the south koreans which is why they're responding so strongly it is a difficult issue for both countries because they really cannot afford to be seen as. we walked back behavior on the part of him gone. china has announced great steps in response to the planned satellite launch as was done by south korea japan and the u.s. what is beijing stance on all this well what beijing really doesn't like what's

going on at the moment i think beijing worth much for. you don't you north koreans reach through. forward on beijing's perspective. into parts playing a role that was seen by the americans as constructive and helpful and mormons are being seen as not doing enough true way forward for a peaceful settlement is to get problems in your country and. i think it's safe to say that the u.s. president had quite a busy time in south korea even before the summit kicked off he was visiting the demilitarized zone between the two koreas and having a number of meetings a lot are the american interests here what americans really want to diffuse the situation in the korean peninsula they don't really want it

a crisis situation you create it's not satisfactory all these. threats of. nuclear testing testing or shooting at south korean targets are potentially dangerous and the americans want to go rob it's all right thank you steve saying professor of contemporary chinese studies at the university of nottingham. ok as the two day nuclear summer progresses stay with r.t. for all the developments and saw. it's. true its intentions are. really clear to the for. the two thousand nuclear security. archie. the u.n. arab league envoy on syria says it's up to the people to decide if president assad

should step down kofi annan is trying to promote a cease fire and political dialogue to end the year long crisis there is latest comments came amid widespread calls from the u.s. and its allies for regime change in syria let's now get the latest from artie's peter all over peter so kofi annan spoke just as he left moscow after talks with russia's leaders what exactly did he say. well literally just as he's about to leave moscow he was pounced on in the departure lounge of the airport now he had a brief statement to give thanking president medvedev and for me it's the love of all for the productive meetings that they held here in moscow we also thank praise the support that he's been given by russia for his six point peace plan to bring about a solution to the crisis in syria now he said that the time for a political solution a diplomatic solution was now in fact in terms of a timeframe for any kind of his plan being enacted he said it's it's the right

people and their doctors to actually put a time frame on it it should have been implemented yesterday never mind putting it in place right now. it could take a very long time but saying that they must be acted on right now in order to try and to try and bring about peace in syria saying that both sides both the opposition and the. the the government forces need to set down their weapons and to get to the table to talk in terms of of iraq is that are in the hands of the the rebels there he was asked about whether foreign arms and foreign military training was also already going on on the ground in syria he said well it could well be however anybody that he's spoken to any nation states that he's spoken to said that although some are prepared to provide weapons and military advice and training that not have done so just yet now in terms of the future and what the future holds for

for syria and particularly. the current president of syria he was asked what could be the future potential future for a site the former u.n. secretary general saying well that is up to the people to decide. that this one of the ships is serious when. you sat. there for this to have the syrians. come to the table and find a way out of borders. in the end come to that but it's not up to me it's up to the syrians. oco fia now now heads off to china to try and draw up more support for his six point peace plan in beijing now in terms of what this plan could lead to in terms of foreign involvement in syria he said that he it was too early to really say what role peacekeepers would play but this a global and international peacekeeping international observation mission would

need to be in place in the country to make sure that both sides in the conflict stick to any promises they made and speaking of the international arena how much support does the announcement and really have. need to be made here of this said this russia is. giving in full support in offering any help that he can in order to put this restaurant in place to try and bring about peace in syria however the president did say the world did warn against countries other nations as actually derailing the. peace plan a potential peace plan for their own aimed at knowing gains. this is the u.s. president and i both think that kofi annan is efforts are a good way to achieve at least the initial point of time in syria and pave the way for communication between various public groups in the country we should act in

a way so as not to create more problems so that the threat of civil war is not realized and talks begin between the authorities and all groups existing in syria. has to be to medvedev said the u.s. president barack obama also on side with kofi annan peace mission to try. bring about that kid both sides to sit down and talk however the u.s. president has also continued to pledge his support for the the rebels and. the rebels. said that they will contribute they promised non lethal aid to the syrian rebels the united states of course was the seed pressure on this side step down as they back a back a regime change policy. peter oliver with the latest. from our perspectives on the peace process in the country i'm joined from damascus georgia job or the president of the united nations association of syria and

independent ngo which promotes the work and awareness of the un so president medvedev says foreign powers should act cautiously and syria what do you think he really means. it means reason to you over the years there are a few good who are very honest used by the events in syria is there for or use the events but then reason should tell you we should. be with this region you see in the spirit this is what president. meant by it worked he said a key foreign based syrian opposition group has rejected envoy kofi annan peace plan involving a cease fire and talks leading to the political engagement what chance do you think his mission now has of success given the fact that the opposition view doesn't meet

the needs of the syrian people. with the chances of the success of. considerable i think he should succeed and i assume the position of certain groups should not hinder him from continuing and also i would like to see if the security council going to news just behind the movie are known in a sincere spirit in good in good threes and then the opposition groups will. change their position will be more i mean ability to negotiation now what about the violence that is reported to be continuing in the country and what is really driving at and is there any prospect of it ending soon. of course this would be the first priority after the humanitarian assistance the violence stop and the

government for it starts by talking it's their firepower and also the opposition groups talk to girls from any agreement between the government and you it was just sort of firing on each other and i suppose mr annan is well. growth is a job or moscow also says peace in syria is impossible if foreign powers openly take sides in the conflict but the e.u. is imposing more sanctions on the syrian regime and the u.s. is pledging support to the ruggles just how serious are washington and its allies in backing up the current peace efforts. well they said they are backing the president whose efforts are of the acting in good faith in both theories i kind of judge it but then i see. all sorts of controversies in the decision making powers of these countries because there are certain hardliners and there are or through the. use of loners in the sense that there is no reason

in the american administration and in the e.u. i think the size of the e.u. in the studio meeting recently because it focused attention on sanctions against syria rather than focusing its attention on rick and his visit you know to be implemented because it goes in statement of the president of the security council all right george mitchell war and the president of the united nations association of syria. better off. the message from the israeli military when it comes to their own kidnapped troops since last year's deal which saw one israeli soldier exchanged for more than a thousand palestinian prisoners the military put in place a new protocol as paul slayer explains it calls for soldiers to kill themselves rather than to be taken captive. it's back time of year again when no one's called out to put his life on the line for his country. when you go to for.

you understand that. you want to come back. and six israeli soldiers never did come back another nineteen were returned in prisoner exchange deals freckles' the kidnapped soldiers present a huge problem on a strategic level for 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 the kidnapping of a fellow soldier even if it sees him killed. it's easier to deal with a good soldier than a kidnapped soldier and that message was loud and clear last year when israel set free more than a thousand palestinian prisoners in exchange for one captured israeli soldier. and

that price say one in five israelis is simply too high but will it force commanders to get strict and if the space soldiers are killed a calm made rather than have him captured. your is going to shoot at his grammar and it's the instincts. is the strongest us emotion familiar to ours but this fight is not so sure he knows the power his uniform has to hold his country to ransom i would like a shot. i would like. to. avoid to push the button again cost even at the risk of being killed by friendly fire the ultimate price for a soldier to pay policy r.t. for television. there's a killer controversy in the u.s. military chill as we report for you on our team. a case of turning

a blind eye rather than one just steps as american troops are responsible for the deadly strike that left twenty four pakistani soldiers dead and will not be charged discover why on our web site. and the chopper shot as a russian prison are hijacks a helicopter and tries to fly to freedom details of the brazen jailbreak are at our . time to get the latest from the world of money and daniel and russia's markets have bounced back yeah absolutely the reversing a terrible time last week we'll have the figures in a mobile first ruble which has suddenly become a hot topic for traders it's all over standing million percent against the dollar this year already and while some experts think russia's over dependency on oil
