a protest is under way right now admit tributes in kosovo these are live pictures of a protest dozens of people including ethnics were arrested in an empty smuggling operation serbia says the move was designed to intimidate and has put its troops on high alert well kosovo is almost entirely ethnically albanian but used to be part of serbia as yugoslavia broke apart of the 1990 s. a group calling itself the cost of the liberation army began an insurrection to gain in support independence as the rebellion escalated serbia launched a bloody crackdown that included civilian massacres and ethnic cleansing of the albanian population. eager to avoid another genocide like that in neighboring bosnia launched a bombing campaign against serbia the forces to withdraw from the territory hitting targets in both kosovo and belgrade under the protection of western allies kosovo

declared its independence from serbia in 2008 but belgrade has never recognized this and disputes between the countries remain the main sticking point is northern kosovo which is populated mainly by serbs and is keen to reunite with. prevents is can scrub stories an associate director of control risks she joins us now live from london good to have you with us what's your appraisal of this original police operation in kosovo that led to today's protest was it anything more than an operation against organized crime. well we all know that organized crime is major issue in the region and according to the government in kosovo or as well as the international for present that there is in the country this was one of the biggest or organized crime operations of the special forces so looking at the arrests and what's happened over

the past 24 hours there are a few reasons to doubt the. vacation behind the operation that was undertaken in the north of course of all but having said that there are several concerns including the excessive use of force by the special forces members in north kosovo which have raised concerns among the ethnic serbian population in the north about their safety as well as about any future similar interventions on especially inside of populated areas in the north ok so this protest in machu picchu is underway as we can see right now it all looks pretty peaceful but does this situation have the capacity to escalate are you worried. in a region such as the balkans there is always the potential for security issues to escalate . however you know because of legacies of what happened 20 years ago

in kosovo of the large scale violence of international intervention and so on these legacies are still alive they often tend to resurface in political debates in the local discussions therefore the potential for escalation is always there however we do not expect that the situation will escalate significantly definitely not to the levels of 1990 and what would have been the situation in the region and within europe is very different today but but serbia has put its military on high alert would would serbia resort to military intervention in kosovo. we believe that's fairy unlikely for the time being president which in serbia did indeed precede the coup but in the army on on combat alert however we see that as

more of a symbolic gesture intended mostly for domestic consumption to the domestic audience to indicate the hearts and serbia of being serious about protecting the interests of serbs but not necessarily intending to use military force in kosovo ok many thanks indeed can i ask you that in london. thank you. this is the news hour from our series still to come on the program saudi arabia is once again accused of targeting a critic based abroad tell you more. struggle to survive in pakistan. which is facing a severe drought. and later in sport there's some disappointing news for heavyweight boxing champion anthony joshua. chinese tech giant huawei has stepped up its legal fight against u.s.

over comments he made in the run up to the brig's referendum 3 years ago let's go live to london to sirus paul brennan can tell us more paul what's this all about. well the security frankly this is not the legal authorities bringing boris johnson to court it's a private prosecution that's been launched by an individual who spent the last 3 years raising around 230000 pounds to crowd fund. a private prosecution against the former format of london now conservative m.p. and now also prime ministerial candidate forrest johnston one of the they're alleging or what he's alleging this man marcus ball is that 3 counts of misconduct in public office and that is relating to the bracks it campaign ahead of the 2016 referendum and they say that he says that boris johnson essentially willfully misled the public over the primarily over the claims that $350000000.00 pounds

a week was being sent to the european union and if we went through with bracks it and left the european union that money would come back and be spent on the n.h.s. now the arithmetic of that 350000000 pounds a week has been picked over in the past 3 years since the referendum and found to be judaists put it that way i will give you the nuts and bolts but it's close it's around $160000000.00 it's certainly nothing like $350000000.00 a week and the test now is whether this individual marcus ball busy can make the charge stick and the threshold is fairly high ridge of the details it's a public officer while he's an m.p. so that would work wilfully neglecting to willfully misconduct himself to such a degree as to amount to an abuse of the public's trust without a reasonable excuse or justification and what he's done is today one of 1st victory and that and that boris johnson the judge's order the powers junction should come

to westminster magistrates court for a preliminary hearing which point the case will be sent to a crown court and john so will have to ask the answer he can brush this off he will have to answer these charges so what does this mean for his chances of becoming the next conservative party leader and therefore prime minister. well good question i mean certainly it's a distraction i don't think boris johnson would like his. road to what he hopes the would be not number 10 downing street. distracted by a visit to a cause or have a court case hanging over busy his head and in the most serious case and i'm not suggesting this is the most serious case but if they are executed maximum prison life in prison now that's not going to happen but the reality is that boris johnson has proved himself to be coated in teflon in the past you remember he's been hoisted up on a zip line and rather embarrassingly got stuck that didn't seem to damage his

political ambitions he's had various other personal issues that he's had to deal with that doesn't seem to none of them seem sort of damage his personal stories political ambitions so it's possible he could turn this to his advantage in this case no problem so all publicity is good publicity in boris's case but certainly it's a distraction that i'm sure he will be unhappy with for many things some serious paul brennan live in london. a new wave of barrel bomb attacks in the ass trikes has killed at least 10 civilians in northwestern syria syrian government and russian forces launched attacks on wednesday the u.n. says that more than 300000 people have been displaced in the past month or so hot i reports from beirut. this is how the government's won back territory from the armed opposition in recent years targeting civilians to pressure rebels to surrender now the tactic is being used in northwest syria. there have been hundreds of these air
