moscow denounces victim sentenced calling it political as a u.s. judge rules the russian businessman should be locked up for twenty five years. reports that the still violence in syria despite the un's ultimatum to both sides lay down arms next week. and muslims say they're victims of fear mongering now in france in the wake of the deadly to lose shootings as presidential hopefuls plan extremism worries to try and sway voters.

hello this is our team kevin now in our top story at eight pm moscow time moscow is condemned to boot sentencing in the united states is unacceptable and politically motivated russia's foreign minister said the country will help to ensure his rights are protected the russian businessman was convicted of conspiring to sell weapons to terrorists and to kill americans support nicely new york. the u.s. government wanted victor boot to spend the rest of his life in an american prison however a u.s. federal judge has sentenced the russian citizen to twenty five years behind bars and that is for conspiring to sell millions of dollars of weapons and surface to air missiles to colombian for rebels those rebels were really agents that were posing undercover the u.s. federal judge delivered her sentence in manhattan. thursday afternoon that

was the mandatory minimum sentence that she could give mr boot the u.s. federal judge has said that mr hasn't been an active arms dealer since two thousand and three and believes that there is no proof that mr bush was looking for opportunities to deal with terrorist kill americans victor boot for the first time stood up and addressed the courtroom he said that he never intended to kill anyone or sell arms to anyone he said that is the truth and then he turned around and pointed his finger at the d. e. agents that testified against him saying that they know that what he's saying is the truth. and expect to be sentenced because i believe the judge is very intelligent very professional it's an acknowledgment of the invalidity oath you don't use asians made by the prosecutors i think that if the judge was most constrained by dual she would have chosen to close the case. and mr booth in

a recent interview said he was the victim of a u.s. propaganda and mainstream media narrative that was discovered upon him without any truth there was a movie made about him the lord of war and. us press him the merchant of death that he is just a legitimate businessman since the very big. hidding mr boot has maintained his innocence he continues to do so his defense attorney following the sentencing came outside of the court room and said that victor boot is an innocent man. i want to let you know that this is not the end but that the journey is just beginning. but only now in the last positions are clear. his conviction. was arrested in thailand in a sting operation in march two thousand and eight following his arrest the u.s.

was pressing for him to be taken to the united states according to documents released by wiki leaks the worst government spent an enormous amount of time trying to get custody of viktor booth following his arrest in thailand according to u.s. cables u.s. president barack obama was just recently called thailand's prime minister directly about the us federal judge says she will recommend that mr bush remains in the person's general population for now the russian citizen heads back to a maximum security prison in brooklyn the morning from manhattan federal courthouse marino are to. be only for a high pressure extradition for the state spartans also handed over citizens. told us that when someone sons of the u.s. it's almost impossible to escape the clutches of the american legal system. well maybe some cases where it's it's permissible if somebody organized crime is the

only thing has to be created with great caution and what we also have been under the american system is once people have been entrapped and tried to work or you have this plea bargain system where people are faced with you know sixty five years in prison unless they plead guilty to a lesser offense and get a few years i mean this isn't in my view this isn't a legal system this is a this is a system of oppression where people are forced into admitting some kind of very often in order to get a lesser sentence and then you know also face longer evenly and they would otherwise in america's barbaric prison system who could resist that kind of present day were arrested and taken to the u.s. you know it's it's an unbelievable pressure on them the things that you know our court we should be protecting our own people from not surrendering people unless we think there's a cost i'm crace against them that they should have to answer in a foreign country despite the u.n. also made them to syria to complete the ceasefire by next week there are reports of

violence in the country continuing key cities and parts of the capital remain restive present this says he's implementing the un backed peace plan by withdrawing his military from certain areas he was later statement raises the possibility of further steps if syria doesn't comply and we go see it has been deployed ahead of an observer mission russia's warning other nations arming the rebels because it could escalate the crisis. from the future of freedom foundation told to syria's opposition and nato want regime change not a ceasefire. if you have a cease fire where the rebels are under that cease fire and say ok we're we're in we're no longer going to engage in violence against this regime then what was the point of starting the rebellion in the first place and and so it's very likely that the rebels are going to use any kind of a cease fire to consolidate their position and continue with their goal the u.s. for example is pressuring the assad regime to relinquish power they're doing it

under this aura of democracy and freedom while this is just your piracy we know that the u.s. loves dictatorships they just sent one point three billion dollars to the egyptian dictatorship they support the dictatorship in bahrain because of the u.s. military base near what's involved here in syria is a dictatorship that is not pro u.s. and so the u.s. sees this as an opportunity for regime change if we can get rid of this dictator and install a pro u.s. military dictator like in egypt or in other other places around the world and the u.s. will be satisfied but make no mistake about it this is not some glorious cars on the part of the west you in stark and a pro freedom pro-democracy regime this is about empires that always live you want to take up at this. time residents of california valley against wind from space say damaging the environment or the danger of war. but next last

month's deadly shooting rampage by a frenchman of algerian this sent him to lose reply to debate about immigration radical islam in the e.u. presidential hopefuls in france jumped on the story in a bid to score political points ahead of the vote later this month however it's a focus that has made the country's muslims feel increasingly isolated so that he is test for a seller finds out this may be a film about the struggle to live in the french suburbs this. it is reality. the shooting of seven people had to lose by a frenchman of algerian the serbs was the latest incident to intensify an already heated debate on security immigration and its aggression in a country with the largest muslim population in europe where dr prefer successfully i'm not say this is an isolated case fortunately most young immigrants in france do

not have this kind of behavior and i think this is a result of his personal journey he felt that it was out of place in france the humiliation discrimination and therefore personal kind of feeling of hatred and hatred of france in the words of this generation muslim immigrant many like yourself don't feel french. in the suburbs there is this feeling of rejection by france and the government socially when we say i'm from the suburbs you're not taken seriously the truth when young people apply for jobs and the sun resumes and have a suburban address it poses many problems some employers time to favor people from central paris or sometimes she says favor a more french name and therein lies a problem the french republic's values of liberty equality and fraternity seem to exclude those living on the periphery like this parisian suburb of not there where we chanced upon a low that in protest you didn't need i claim the right to live like everyone else

if you earn between one thousand and thirteen hundred year olds you live in as investors you live in the middle of electromagnetic waves with leaves and unsanitary conditions just five minutes from posh areas like the. people dying here and totally different i see no no i denounce that fact and france will have a revolt is a first thing to describe the country today losing translated as france and moving up to speeds of the young people will find themselves stuck on the slower moving frame some say they belong to a generation already lost by the. state they find a sense of belonging elsewhere and by the time bad habits any efforts to bring them back a likely to be futile and where some may find solace is anyone's guess this may not only on people but there are those who create heroes like robin hood the likes of osama bin laden or other so-called leaders who create ideas there's a new generation that is hungry ambitious and aggressive it creates

a conflict in the internet and the easy access to information freely and easily and the worst is ignorance that is reinforced by it internet this is a huge danger to the u.s. in response politicians bombard the public with proposals for even more policies like policing internet behavior reducing the number of new immigrants or stripping some of their citizenship which critics say are hall of presidents. as really trying to expose the line right. nationalist party here as well. you know we always attacking immigrants talking about how we making issues head coverings of muslim girls these are big major issues in france rather than the question of creating jobs and perhaps the question of how to bring back the very basics of a society that calls itself a gala tarion tesser cilia r.t. paris. where the pre election fever president sarkozy even threatens of pull out of

the e.u. is a border phrase oh but political science professor believes it's no more than a desperate attempt to win over. so cosy says one thing one day he runs for different hair the next day so. what he talked about chang and he said it would be stricter rules but i don't think this should be taken seriously at first a lot of the stuff that is announced could not be implemented because all the other europeans will be against it strange appeal to people who focus on immigration and so once you have he's playing games with the well hireable murder that took place in in toulouse a few weeks ago. piers as it stops immigration so first he's not doing it second no one in europe could agree to a drastic change of change. for a candidate who is basically and seems to be losing right now the u.s.

girls. are essentially now in the palm of your. call. bosnia is marking twenty years since the start of one of the bloodiest conflicts in recent history that left almost one hundred thousand people dead and almost four million displaced now in the capital sarajevo an orchestra played in front of thousands of empty red chairs one for every man woman and child killed in a city the war resulted from the break of you to siberia began our european community recognize bosnia as an independent country the conflict so violent division among both mean serbs croats and muslims were made to eventual intervening the serbian story in a voice of mileage told me western countries only accelerated become. there ironically still trapped in the conflict in a sense it's always found in india true with their. the political option in syria

it was in our war story it. is still an order and it keeps reminding. us it is one thousand nine hundred two things really haven't changed much in moved on since even war's been twenty years and there's a myth about bosnia that it was a conflict that ran rampant on its own and at the west had to step in and stop it in fact there was a bosnian peace process the debt paid actually results it was a constitutional we meant it compromise between the two parties of the communities and if it was set for a peaceful resolution of the proud of the constitution praises and then it testimonies and information the american ambassador stepped in in council building was important to basically get only. one having been promised american battle which is what ended up happening in this witness if you dated the

war. the war crimes court defense team of suffolk islam gadhafi claims that he's been assaulted in libya's custody the hague demands of media to hand over tripoli wants to try the late colonel's son on home soil over the deaths of protesters and revolt which opposes father of a middle east for such a cerebral sick talk with the i.c.c. his reputation is. judicial bastiat now is questionable. and there are big questions over the effectiveness and the justness of the i.c.c. if you look at the history there's only been one conviction recently and also who has been the target of the i.c.c. our african african leaders and certainly africa is not the only continent to host war criminals and to experience grave offense committed and so really the i.c.c. hasn't necessarily proven its ability to actively carry out justice and this is

hugely problematic because if you're going to have an international criminal court that supposedly carrying out principles of justice if they're not equally applied then of course it's not in any way possible for them to be fair it really is a sort of colonial power play to go after a certain bad bogeyman to probably make the west feel good about itself. we have more news headlines around the world tonight egypt's pre-election battles are heating up a stake in cairo's tahrir square in support of ultra conservative islamist presidential candidate has a mother as well could be barred from running though because his mother was once an american citizen accusation he says is part of a plot against it is disqualification would leave the muslim brotherhood without a main rival. two people killed in a botched suicide attack believed to have been targeting intelligence offices in southern yemen suspected of public links to al qaeda was on route to his intended destination when the blast happened the civilian who was driving at the time of the explosion was also killed yemen has seen

his cross to discuss whether the war in libya anything to do with the mali who. hopes for the timing and the intensity of this rebellion this rebellion was planned for. before the uprising benghazi before mater intervention in libya the military plans. who was in libya at the time but he'd been planning this from two thousand and nine onwards i think that the fall of gadhafi. sped up the rebellion time of the rebellion and possibly gotten more arms but i don't think that this is a direct consequence i don't think that narrative is ok peter what do you think about that in washington feet grievances legitimate or not what can debate how the toerags this those are all going problems but certainly there was a new emperor to sport with. the m.l.o. is a military commander jim is was

a four hour colonel in the libyan army. just around you can watch cross talk all day today here on the various i was coming up next a group of californians are in a spin over how the golden state's going green community said they're blighted by government subsidized wind farms which are damaging the environment and the danger of wildlife is indeed a question of reports next on living in the shadow of the giant generators. vibration in the east and flushing grants troops at night not exactly environmentally friendly see those living bright next to these rotating joints the servants are all completely paid by taxpayers subsidies really rate increases it's a complete corruption for our politicians and it needs to be stopped now robert moran and his wife are running you can paint and stop energy companies building the

windmills even closer to his home a battle being fought in many small rural towns in the whole it's sort of a money pit where our taxpayer money is going into these they're destroying thousands of acres they're actually hurting the environment that beverly valiantly fought proposed to buy and so on her doorstep with almost daily letters to her local government and she succeeded with the energy company abandoning its plans but her case was very much the exception to the rule for more than thirty years now when power industry and its largest have promoted it as green and clean but for many who live directly with the impact of this energy green was more about the color of money with huge government handouts wind farms began popping up all over the place but it was subsidies in the bank the high maintenance cost a couple of with the relatively small power generation have seen many now lying

idle. x. one company executive believes the end is truly should be left to find its own place in the energy field instead of encouraging companies only interested in the government handouts we should lot subsidize with anderson for energy that is the wrong way to develop renewable energy instead we should treat renewable energy just the same way we treat electricity from any other source whether it's coal or nuclear. gas or oil the frenzy of windmill building during the winter rush didn't just ruined if you have a stated wildlife many of these farms stand on my grades three pounds for brutes so we can see good hundreds of birds and dad's been killed by the huge blaze every year. it seems the green and clean future has generated little more than brute kill and

a huge amount of animosity and you know which marty reporting from california. well it's still the search business attorney cross now to our business desk across rivers the right of course with europe parts of asia. yes not too much going on what you got for us going there actually is a module going on i'm afraid to say because of course everyone there is celebrating good friday and the markets in those parts of the world were closed today in fact one of the few markets open was russia that's because russians are celebrating easter next week but there were open so there's a sort of look at the closing picture and messes are really really have much to react to but this while i haven't served i would say that both the ideas and the mindsets and the trade in session the deeper the revolution over one and a half percent there was a want piece of information that russian investors their insights but circular as well and that was the minister thought economic development saying that it has slightly lower this g.d.p.
