Il giornalista della BBC John Humphrys ha ricevuto una reprimenda
ufficiale per l'intervista da lui fatta al segretario generale della
NATO, Lord Robertson. L'accusa e' di essere stato troppo aggressivo con
il povero segretario generale, averlo interrotto troppo spesso e con
frasi troppo critiche, facendogli dire in fondo cose che non voleva dire
- non perche' non le pensasse, ma perche' certe cose in TV non si
dicono!...

Humphrys condemned over Kosovo interview
By Tom Leonard, Media Correspondent
THE BBC has reprimanded John Humphrys after the
Secretary General of Nato complained that the Radio 4
Today presenter used an interview about Kosovo as a
"platform for his own opinions".
The corporation's governors announced yesterday that
they have upheld a complaint by Lord Robertson of
Portellen, the former Defence Secretary, that Humphrys
had "not met proper BBC standards".
Lord Robertson said that during the interview, which
was broadcast in February, Humphrys's repeated
interruptions amounted to a "critical running
commentary". The governors' programmes complaints
committee admitted that the tone of the questioning
was "inappropriate" and the frequency of interruptions
"ill-judged". They said Rod Liddle, the editor of
Today, had spoken to Humphrys about the interview and
warned him not to do it again.
It is the second time in little more than a year that
Humphrys has been criticised over his treatment of
Lord Robertson. In March 1999, he was attacked by
politicians for an interview in which he repeatedly
interrupted the then Defence Secretary and insisted
the war in Kosovo was a "mess".
The governors said: "Although the premises of Mr
Humphrys's questions referred to views expressed by
others rather than opinions of his own, the tone of
the questioning was inappropriate at times and the
frequency of interruption was ill-judged."...

Interviews with Nikola, a Yugoslav Prosecutor from Mitrovica and Oliver
Ivanovic, leader of the resistance movement (8-14-00)
www.tenc.net
[Emperor's Clothes]
Interview with Nikola --- a Yugoslav prosecutor August 14th, 2000 4:33AM
Washington Time, 10:33AM Yugoslav Time
Nikola: Hallo
Konstanin: hi is Nikola there
Nikola: Yes
Konstanin: Hi this is Konstantin from Emperor's Clothes.com
Nikola: Yes yes yes
Konstanin: Are you in Mitrovica right now?
Nikola: No I am in [name of town in inner Serbia] now, in the middle of
Serbia right now, but if I can help you please ask me
Konstanin: Well I don't know if you've heard about the developments in
Mitrovica, KFOR [i.e., the name for NATO in Kosovo] just moved to seize
the
smelter plant, the mining complex?
Nikola: Yes yes yes it was early morning about half past three o'clock
KFOR
started with the operation, the Second English Royal Platoon are
occupied it
- Desant, you know what is Desant?
Konstanin: No.
Nikola: When they parachute with the helicopters, commandos
Konstanin: Okay yes yes,"descent"
Nikola: They occupied lead factory; after that they occupied the Chapter
Representative offices and after that in the sixth hour and thirty
minutes
[6"30 Yugoslav time] they occupied Radio S in Zvecan.
Konstanin: Which radio, Radio S?
Nikola: Radio S.
Konstanin: That's the one that was recently ordered closed down by the
Internationals, right?
Nikola: Ahhh they claim Yugoslav government are behind that radio. And
now I
know there are some conflicts in Mitrovica and Zvecan because all roads
are
blocked and few people are in
Konstanin: Are the local residents the ones blocking the roads?
Nikola: Yes yes lot of roads between Mitrovica and Zvecan, between
Zvecan and
some other Serb villages and this is conflict between village civilians
and
the British soldiers
Konstanin: Is the threat to all of Mitrovica or is it limited to...
Nikola: Zvecan is three kilometers to the North of Mitrovica, very close
Konstanin: Ahah. And what was the reason for shutting the radio
station??
Nikola: I don't know what will be with the radio. I think that they have
not
any reason to close that radio station, but it is British choice
Konstanin: Here in the West the reports are that it was calling NATO an
occupying army. That was the only thing that they came up with, and this
isn't a crime I don't think? According to the UN resolutions as far as I
know.
Nikola: Yes but that's not the only thing. This [smelter plant] was the
last
one factory in Serbian hands and only one sector of the Trepca
[Emperor's
clothes: the Trepca mining concern - extremel;y valuable] concern who
still
working. All other, every other factory from Trepca concern are in
Albanian
hands and not one working.
Konstanin: Are they also in ZInternational hands?
Nikola: No no Internationals don't work anything. Secessionists supposed
[laughs] must work in that factory. But as you know maybe in the South
side
all mining are under the water, and ah one factory for battery are
burned
before two months in some unknown fire. Today there has been much
conflict
and a few people are injured. British use some you know rubber, rubber
bullets
Konstanin: So no reports of live ammunition, are there any reports of
such
ammunition used by KFOR forces?
Nikola: I don't know. They use the tanks, they use the choppers, they
use too
many troops, and I think that ah these Frenchman wish to stay out from
that;
British soldiers are in the main role.
Konstanin: Okay. And the radio station that was closed, was that the
last
free Serbian radio station in Kosovo?
Nikola: Yes yes yes yes and now on the Kosovo we have two or three radio
station all in the North but that is the some commercial, commercial
radio
station without any news, without any messages political or anything
else.
Konstanin: So basically the KFOR forces have just shut down with one
move the
major economic source for Serbs as well as their major communications
and
news source?
Nikola: Who knows that! Look, this is for the Serbs, that pollution or
economic investment are only excuse for occupation. Because we know very
well
that from that nothing is. Because some company, big company from
Sweden,
from Germany, from America are involved in that.
Konstanin: Thank You, we're going to call Oliver now, or try to get in
touch
with him. Thank you for your information. We will post this unaltered on
the
web to have it circulate around the world. Do you have anything else you
want
to say
Nikola: Just my best wishes for all who try to help us. Thank you. Thank
you.
Konstantin: Bye
Nikola: Bye.
Interview with Oliver Ivanovic August 14th, 5:11 AM Washington time,
11:11AM
Yugoslav time. EC caught Oliver in the middle of a meeting on the
situation.
EC will call back tomorrow to get more detailed description and more
official
reactions.
Konstanin: Hello.
Oliver: Hi, who is it.
Konstanin: This is Konstantin from EC.
Oliver: Okay okay
Konstanin: Can you describe what has just occurred in Kosovska
Mitrovica?
Oliver: In the morning about half past three this morning couple of
hundred
soldiers came in the lead plant and take over this ledd plant in the
Northern
part of Mitrovica. This is the last one factory, Trepca factory, which
works
and only one which are under Serb responsibility. Under Serb control.
And of
course they didn't allow the workers to come in the first shift at seven
o'clock in the morning and now we have couple of hundreds in Zvecan but
also
some people about seven hundred people are waiting in Mitrovica.
Konstanin: Workers?
Oliver: Workers and citizens of course.
Konstanin: Has anything else happened?
Oliver: Nothing for now we have the emergency meeting at the city and we
are
waiting for the next step of the management because they are not allowed
to,
how to say, assistant of general manager are not allowed to make any
kind of
decision and they waiting for the general manager but in the meantime
Konstanin: They can't make a decision without who?
Oliver: First of all the general managers are not allowed to come in
Kosovo
because of the special regulation of Mr. Kouchner. He expelled him from
Kosovo. And his assistants are not allowed to make any kind of
negotiations
or decision and now we are in bad position.
Konstanin: We heard about the involvement of Swedish, German, US
companies in
this, with interests in Trepca?
Oliver: YES we waiting for more detail about both of these agreements
but now
for now I didn't see these agreements.
Konstanin: So the agreement predates the raid?
Oliver: Yeah. This agreement between consortium, US company, French
company
and Swedish company with the UNMIK. They made this agreement yesterday
in the
morning but I didn't see this until now.
Konstanin: We heard of the very heavy involvement of British troops,
were
there any other contingents involved?
Oliver: No just the British, French, Danish, and Pakistani's.
Konstanin: Were weapons used?
Oliver: No, just tear gas.
Konstanin: We heard of other military vehicles, commando raid.
Oliver: Yes helicopters were observing, but it isn't used for any
purpose
now. Now just observing
Konstanin: Okay can you tell us a bit about this radio station that was
closed down.
Oliver: Yes in the 6:30 am this morning Radio plus, or, Radio S was
closed,
and UNMIK police confiscated all their equipment.
Konstanin: What was the official reason for that?
Oliver: They have not permission from OSCE to work. Working, working
license.
Konstanin: But does it contravene any Yugoslav laws?
Oliver: I think they using some kind of regulation, OSCE regulation for
media.
Konstanin: Do you have any official opinion on the actions of KFOR over
the
last day?
Oliver: We think it is not necessary, and we think that behind of that
many
talking of environment and health is exactly political decision to stop
only
one factory in the Serb area, under Serb control. That's the reason,
because
I think high-pressure from Albanian side who made the pressure to
Kouchner,
and Kouchner decided.
Konstanin: So you think Kouchner made the final decision for the forces
to
move in?
Oliver: Yes. Exactly.
Konstanin: So with the radio station shut down and the main source of
employment for Serbs in the region shut down, is there any, how's the
Serbian
population reacting? Is there a sense of panic right now?
Oliver: Ah, no its not a panic but people are very very angry and I
don't
know what will happen. Perhaps we'll have the important meeting this
afternoon or we are waiting, we are just in a meeting and we are
finished
this meeting perhaps we will decide about that.
Konstanin: Can we call you back later or tomorrow when things are more
settled?
Oliver: Of course you can. Of course.
Konstanin: Okay thank you very much for the information currently
Oliver: Okay
Konstanin: Bye
Oliver: Bye

La principale scusa addotta dalle truppe della KFOR - che e'
sostanzialmente, a parte le sfumature, la missione della NATO in Kosovo

di terreno agricolo e boschi da parte dei loro alleati terroristi e
fascisti panalbanesi, sugli effetti dei bombardamenti sul petrolchimico
