across the continent roma community is a victim by european governments are being left without shelter ok. calling make ends meet. you're watching out is weekly news review on the latest developments and welcome to the program president says the hostile period between russia and nato is over he told the bloc gathering in portugal this weekend that he's agreeing to boost collaboration one of the most divisive issues missile defense the summit smooth was decidedly more co-operative than of late but there are still issues which they're yet to see eye to eye on in this to reports. nato rolled out the red carpet for the country once considered its bow and russian president

dmitri medvedev arrived at the summit of the former cold war military alliance to leaders welcoming him with open arms and a plea cooperate with us. let us do this together leaders on both sides seem to indicate they plan to do just that after nato russia talks they hailed as historic today marks a true fresh starts in nato russia relations of the willing ear it spells out our desire to pursue strategic partnerships that in its means would have overcome the difficulties of the past missile defense plans under the bush white house provoked the most serious rift between russia and nato since the cold war well now the alliance wants russia to join in its plans compute russia wants more than just sweet words on them with a good body and we have agreed with our nato partners that's what we'll pursue dialogue of the european a.b.m. our main guide here should be that our birth dissipation ought to be equal and i

will stress this it can only be as partners with no other form of participation for the sake of appearance is acceptable either we participate fully we exchange information take part in decision making or we do not participate atoll. the u.s. reset of relations with russia has brought nato to moscow once the great enemy but now courted as a key potential ally together we've worked hard to reset the relations between the united states and russia which has led to concrete benefits for both our nations now we're also resetting the nato russia relationship we see russia as a partner not an adversary russia and nato have reiterated common challenges to be fought from the spread of weapons of mass destruction to terrorism what's most significant is what's not on the list each other. russia has pledged more help to nato in afghanistan with transport

access and more resources to fight narcotics there and for the first time in pakistan despite all the warm words there are still differences notably over the south as such in conflict over two years ago nato backed georgia which russian forces were forced to fight after the civilian population came under attack and while nato seeks new purpose and allies others say the alliance belongs in the past and that it today across this consubstantial to nato has existed certainly since the fall of the burden of war how this was for use and against whom a major problem for nato and of course what it does politically and militarily is that it reinforces at least for the time being the imbalance between the us continues to spend a lot of the military and european nato member states some of which have become to cut back very drastically crowd there's no greater example of the discontent with nato it's called a good week being here on this date that led to what they believe those thousands

of i mean by protesting the alliance and it. going to we don't think it's necessary it's a for example for us and so a country in crisis is spending so much money on something it's cold war what we have is a very powerful military alliance with no democratic accountability the leaders announcing the statements no problem it is going to get a chance to vote on it and as a result everyone's military expenditure is going to go up the message is entirely wrong nato is out of date now out of time we need a world of peace and justice not one of preparing for yet wars and after introducing a new strategic concept to high hopes at the summit nato's challenge now is to turn concept into reality where top on the list is forging a lasting partnership with russia lauren lyster r.t.

lisbon portugal. russia and nato envoy believes a renewal in relations between moscow and the east guarantee greater security on the country's western borders. now after we have lived through the conflict and south of setia on a sharp decline in relations it turns out we might have needed such a test on the one hand these events have shown that old nato policies were provoking such an adequate regimes like the soccer is really one to bloody actions on the other hand nato did not get involved in this conflict because europeans did not support the most aggressive part of the bush administration for us nato was a big headache it used to be an enemy now an unpredictable partner the left hand of which doesn't know what the right handers doing we are tired of this we want more stability and security on our western borders and in the long run maybe even certainty that there will be no trouble or toll i think the americans have finally heard us both. he has been hearing how nato strategy is shifting political experts

dr agent pabst says that even baltic states which are being traditionally hostile to moscow feel the alliance can't exist without russia's support. the europeans have been arguing for a long time behind the scenes that russia needs to be brought on board that nato can not function properly without stronger russian involvement that required a different attitude in moscow which was seen with present mediators but also a new openness on the part of all the nato partners and even countries traditionally more critical and perhaps even hostile towards russia such as potent in the baltic states have recently acknowledged that it's greater dialogue and more cooperation with moscow a good thing for everyone involved when nato secretary general also brought up the importance of the nuclear reduction treaty between russia and the u.s. under. the lisbon summit that any delay in ratifying would damage the security of

europe and the entire year atlantic region president obama says there's no good reason why the deal can't be passed by the u.s. congress the treaty would see the two countries nuclear arsenals slashed by a third because being stalled in washington as newly elected republicans now outweigh obama's democrats or british campaigner kate hudson says the prospect of a world without atomic weapons is far too important to be sacrificed for one party's short term political ambitions. we were amongst the many people around the world who really welcomed president obama's speech in prague where he outlined his vision of a world without nuclear weapons and of course a vision which president medvedev shares and i think it's absolutely reprehensible if senators in the u.s. congress are obstructing the passing of this very important treaty the new start treaty for party political point scoring reasons i think this is far too important

on a global scale for them to stand in the way like this many people globally including i should say former cold warriors people like henry kissinger and george schultz many other leaders across the world now believe that it is just too jane shuras to have nuclear weapons and that is the trend that is taking place in the world towards disarmament and away from nuclear weapons and that is the trend which the u.s. senate and the u.s. congress should be going along with and following the leadership of their president well coming later up in the program a reaction to sarah palin's hint that she's aligning herself up for another stab at running for the white house. if you become an alley or. almost a spring resident asked people in new york what would happen if pain does become a. normal silent danger as the dome of covering the disaster site is expiring date potentially deadly toxins that

could leak out. russian businessmen and alleged arms smuggler to boot has pleaded not guilty to charges including terrorism and arms trafficking he was hastily extradited to the u.s. from bangkok earlier this week and is now in solitary confinement in new york where moscow is demanding a fair trial and says it will continue to provide consular assistance portnoy takes up the story. my two and a half year campaign to get one russian citizen accused arm dealer victor boot begins to face american justice victor boot came into u.s. custody on tuesday set to stand trial on arms smuggling and terrorism charges one conspiring to kill united states nationals to conspiring to kill united states officers and employees three conspiring to use an acquire anti-aircraft missiles

and for conspiring to provide material support to the fark meantime the u.s. to stands accused of breaking laws to grab the russian businessman organizing a swift extradition from thailand involving some fifty federal agents and u.s. marshals keeping the operation a secret from boots lawyer family and russian officials. despite two rulings in thailand's criminal court saying viktor boots guilt was not proven the thai government has still decided to hand him over to the u.s. i consider this unprecedented political pressure on the legal process and on thailand's government has been. moscow has dubbed the extradition of their citizen are striking in justice boot a former army officer was arrested in bangkok in march two thousand and eight in a sting operation involving american law enforcement officials all aboot who didn't get a chance to say good bye to her husband in thailand accuses the u.s.

of kidnapping him as a political pawn. in this operation was illegal it was done to lobbying from the u.s. this russian citizen to shift to the united states as if he was just not shipped without his documents and with the russian embassy being informed and during his transfer to new york who claims that u.s. officials attempted to force a confession from him as part of a possible plea bargain. according to victor boot during the extradition there were attempts to convince him to make a confession of the crimes he had never committed promising some privileges in return but mr boot rejected these offers in new york federal court on wednesday the forty three year old cargo dealer denied all charges but is being held in solitary confinement at a federal prison in lower manhattan with legal assistance from the russian consul a top kremlin official stressed that moscow is demanding fair treatment for its

citizens while not getting involved in the allegations but faces like your picture which i want to stress to the u.s. authorities of course some very serious and profound charges against this russian citizen we have nothing to conceal we don't consider this case a state secret or anything of the kind we want to see this investigation finalized has to answer all the questions raised by the u.s. he will be given protection and consular assistance however that doesn't mean we are claiming he's innocent you know of the guns while many have speculated as to why washington wants but so badly opinions have very. little but if this is a question of principle they've spent ten years spending money taxpayer money on trying to root out gun runners so they have to have someone to show for it and they chose victor. i understand that there was significant amount of political pressure by the us to put on that our government but i assure you that will be nothing.

compared to the pressure that the united states is going to. destroy you cooperate with the u.s. or already it's against others the chances of a fair trial for victor boot are already in question with u.s. media and the prosecutor portraying him as a villain the so-called merchant of death is now a federal inmate all those seeking to provide some cold comfort victor boot is of course presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty the fate of victor boots future will be sealed in this new york federal courthouse his next hearing is scheduled to take place in january if convicted the russian citizen faces twenty five years to life behind bars burning up or not artsy new york. military defense lawyer and major. but these boots case could become a pandora's box he says if the u.s.

fails to show fairness to other countries citizens will be hard to protected so. there are number of cases that the united states is unhappy with and what we're running into is this dangerous precedent where if if we're exercising this type of authority over individuals in other countries what's going to happen in the future to u.s. citizens and whether or not other countries are going to demand extradition of our citizens you know people who they think are criminals for example in the last administration and demanding their extradition to spain or italy or some other country and how can we as a straight face in the international community have it both ways if the justice department didn't do their job properly and get this one right you know it certainly could open up a can of worms for us in the future. now an israeli military courts has let two of its soldiers walk free after they were convicted of using a nine year old palestinian boy as a human shield in last year's gaza war let's get more details now from our middle

east crisis in the poorest state in tel aviv or paula tell us more about the court's decision. well this is a military court that essentially sentenced these two soldiers to three months probation and the most of them from the rank of staff sergeant to sergeant now the case involves the operation costs led the war back in two thousand and eight two thousand and nine when the two soldiers approached a young nine year old palestinian child and forced him to look inside a number of bags that the soldiers were fearful had some kind of explosives in them as it turned out there was nothing inside the bags and no one was hurt but the soldiers were charged with using this child as a human shield which was ruled by the israeli supreme court to be illegal the military prosecutors wanted to see some kind of jail time they were essentially calling me fact that the soldiers are violating human rights and also what is known as these radio defense forces code of purity of arms such

a sentence carries up to three months in prison but as we see the soldiers got off with a relatively conservative and light sentence paula yes of the strobing case you've been following the story from the very beginning does this verdict come as a surprise. i think it is a surprise to many people here in israel particularly human rights groups and left wing organizations i just got off the phone with the public committee against torture in israel and they used the word ridiculous and i think we're going to see more of that kind of reaction throughout the course of the day as the sentencing becomes more public this is not the first time that there has been recorded instances of israeli soldiers carrying out some kind of violations against palestinians it was a case not so long ago when an israeli soldier noticed facebook pictures of of out soldiers harming and mocking and humiliating palestinians you know what it sholay is a former israeli soldier and he says that this particular case of

a nine year old had a school going being used as a human shield is not unusual the only unusual thing in this instance is that it made it to court in the first place. i think to ask a combat soldier and serve in the occupied territories where you use palestinians as human shields like to ask you to drink coffee in the morning so what we did is we just bumped into our house nearby house we grabbed one of the kids we took him with us put him in the front of the patrol you just walk your patrol in the village with your kid and then no one first told. as you can well imagine there was a lot of emotion in the courtroom and be assured that the smalling the soldiers themselves have not spoken on camera but their lawyer did say that they were satisfied with the finding they did feel that the soldiers were being used as a scapegoat by the military superiors who all did the carrying out and that they are the ones who should be faulted book there's also a sense here in this well that this is a case that is meant to alleviate international pressures that the international community can see the idea of doing some kind of internal tracking and internal

assessing to make sure that this kind of thing does not happen again but it's unlikely that with such a conservative sentence many people in the international community will be satisfied today. ok porcelaine television live paradox thank you for now. well you can find more coverage and analysis of all our stories r.t. dot com and heritage a couple of other features were lining up this weekend the russian scientist says he's discovered he had an exam you know that in just a few years a potion to keep you beautiful for longer go on sale entails or r.t. dot com. plus why this soap opera nurse is raising the heartbeat of so many russians even more than the headline grabbing spy chapman details at r.t. that.

europe's roma communities are among the most persecuted in the world and for those who live in bulgaria the situations especially dire with their homes destroyed in a desperate lack of basic health care as r.t. is dying bushell discovered. seems like we could become common across europe the mood of this town in southern belle geary told r.t. he had to tear down this block of flats because the room the residence who turned it into a slum this pile of rubble is all that's left of the housing estate what all through it is called a public health hazard infested with rats cockroaches and fleas thousands of roma called their home so we've moved to this wasteland no shelter health care or education for the children. well don't worry your citizens where there's a treat us like this schools won't take my son because he has lice and disease

that i think absolutely she could not be president. i don't think that she has the smarts i don't think if she has the political backing i think that she's made a career out of being. a t.v. personality and i think that when it comes to the brass tacks the republicans will not nominate her so you don't even think she'll get that far when it comes to the nomination you know i do not stranger things could happen but she's not getting my vote do you think she'll get enough votes possibly possibly how do you feel about that let's america if she gets the votes she can run but i'll be voting and not for her why are we giving her so much attention if she doesn't have the support out there to thank because the media is very good at giving attention to someone who's good at making a stunt of themselves so that all it is but when it comes to election day if she actually was running you don't think that she would get in i'd hope that we had the

foresight as voters in this country to realize that no she should not be elected president of the united states of america if she does become president how will you feel oh i'm moving to england yeah oh i'm off to spain if she does become president of the u.s. what do you think the reaction will be in the u k. yeah . as my friend. whether. they are pale in presidential material the bottom line is seems like he's planning on running the show at the very least it looks like we'll have an entertaining election come two thousand and twelve. scientists are concerned of the radioactive dangers lurking in the chernobyl site many a quarter of a century our nuclear plant explosion the concrete bunker which covers the contaminated area is nearing the end of its life but it's not clear what

radioactive danger lies underneath. explains almost a quarter of a century since the chernobyl fallout a special confinement structure called the circle for gas is still preventing more radioactive emissions into atmosphere this structure the circus was built in one thousand eight hundred six just months after the disaster the chernobyl nuclear power plant back then experts predicted it would last for only twenty years until two thousand and six that is but as you can see from here it was strengthened and improved extending its lifetime for five more years the biggest question is how much nuclear fuel remains under the surface some experts believe that there is none as most of it did very polarized into the atmosphere and was spread around the chernobyl exclusion zone but many experts believe that there are ninety five percent of nuclear fuel still remaining under the surface and that could be tons and tons of nuclear material. we believe that the nuclear fuel under this account

for greece is no longer a solid mass like it was twenty four years ago there now is more like three layers of dispersed dust so should the presence or cause for good scripts we could see a very powerful explosion at the facilities as powerful as a nuclear one. in order to avoid another catastrophe europe invested in the building of a new confinement in two thousand and seven french company was allowed to start the construction of an arch like steel structure to cover the facility three years later the project is underway with more than five hundred engineers building the new circle for gas next to the contaminated plant it won't be just the frame yeah it will be a technological complex as multi-functional crane system will be installed inside the new structure it. a final step in the new safe confinement should provide the safety environment for the works farrant the project's initial cost was thought

to be half a billion euro now sources in chernobyl report that figure has almost doubled but in the fight for the continent's safety no some is too much the new confinement is expected to be completed by the year twenty thirteen and is expected to last for another hundred years the only question is what is the fate of the nuclear power plant in chernobyl some say that it may be dismantled under this new dome but that is only a speculation for now we only heard that this is a process which may take another seventy years and there are no technologies to this date which would allow this to happen. see reporting from the church noble exclusion zone in ukraine. well as more to come for you next hour including a brutal mass murder in southern russia a businessman and his private army arrested twelve killings friends and relatives
