in some areas it's getting more worse and he's now a r t congress. with the freedom and democracy still allusive in egypt the future for libya is also clouded in uncertainty. there will be a new government that will not necessarily be more democratic or more humane but will be an ally or i would say in fact the proxy. coming up later this hour while libya's interim government struggles for full control of the country skepticism surrounding who will benefit most from the revolution starts to creep in. and the shadow of an imminent u.s. veto ploughs the palestinian statehood bid at the u.n. security council as a yes vote votes all but certain. but first the standoff continues in northern kosovo with local serbs reinforcing their barricades and nato calling in more troops to the region tense relations between serbia and kosovo plunged to new depths tuesday after nato forces tried to dismantle barricades causing violent

clashes with local serbs the roadblocks were set up in july when cosa been a foreign he's tried to seize checkpoints to enforce a unilateral trade embargo artie's alexei or she has more. now i'm standing beside one of the manmade barricades one of the manmade checkpoints created by the kosovo destined to cart off both the k. four and the cost of police forces from the serbian part of the village as you can see it is pretty calm now here with people sitting by the fire waiting for something to happen being on guard every minute but there are certain indications that the tension is mounting in here in this region with both. reinforcing their checkpoints these piles of sand they put here to block the road look quite fresh and we also have information that from the local from the local people here reporting that the nato forces are pulling additional troops to this site almost every day now this comes just less than forty eight hours after simmering tensions

here lots of clashes between the and the k. four forces at the border checkpoint the border between kosovo and the serbian mainland and those clashes as far as we're understanding more than eleven people being taken to hospitals there's certain deal of controversy surrounding this incident with the nato pointing finger at the consulate service for provoking this incident at the same time saying that it had to use rubber bullets against the attackers and gas grenades as well at the same time we have information from the local hospitals and from different medical sources around the region that all the people who were injured in these clashes were delivered to hospitals carrying gunshot wounds but here last since july when the cost of the police force decided to have to put up checkpoints in order to enforce some kind of trade embargo to cut off the cost of the serbs from the trade posts in the serbian mainland and the

local serbs reacted by saying the barricades the man made barricades around the border and certainly the clashes have been happening here ever since this. situation has pretty much worried belgrade which has come up with a very stern response to the events happening here at the border. post lasers the events in the north of serbia show two facts first that prishtina is about to set up customs around what they think is the independent state of course of on the other hand they show that there are international unions and a whole number of states the did prove of such intentions of prishtina we are facing a situation here when international forces deployed in kosovo in fact the needs of instead of maintaining a neutral position this is why serbia is against it the events here of course also cause very loud international reaction with the russian foreign ministry expressing its deep concerns over what is happening here saying that it may be may seem to be

a very little dispute but in fact it could destabilize the situation in the region which is already been subjected to a great deal of stress and it's already a melting pot. artie's alexei reporting for us from kosovo where you can find all of our stories and plenty more online at our team dot com here's what's a click away right now if you missed the frankfurt motor show no worries just head on here to moscow where officials matador government officials managed to blow more than one hundred fifty million dollars on luxury cars. at a police officer attacked by a muslim man in brussels after he demanded that the man's wife move the veil full coverage of this story and more at r.t. dot com.

libya's national transitional council says it won't form an interim government until the whole country is liberated and i can offer you forces have already taken the airport in the fugitive colonel's hometown of sirte one of the final remaining gadhafi strongholds reinforcements were called in ready for a fresh assault in the face of strong resistance as civilians continue fleeing the besieged city anti-war activist and director of the coalition brian becker says nato to be adding to the country's problems. clearly they're not protecting civilians when they're bombing cities that are considered to be pro khadafi when they're killing people not because they've done something wrong but because their own political beliefs are contrary to what nato wants in terms of the kind of government they want for libya so i think that they need to be brought to justice i think though unless there's a very strong international movement for human rights in this instance i think it's unlikely they will be brought to court but the goal of the nato powers is to carry

out regime change so that the khadafi government is gone once and forever and that there. will be a new government that will not necessarily be more democratic or more humane but will be an ally or i would say in fact a proxy a client perhaps a puppet of western powers in this country that has the largest oil reserves in all of africa the ninth largest oil reserves in the world i think that real goal of the nato powers is that take control over libya's vast resources which we know are a great treasure palestinian bid for statehood had made has made a strong start at the un security council with up to nine members they're required number to pass the vote promising their support the bids already been forwarded to a special admissions committee for approval before a vote observers say that at this stage it's at this stage the us is most likely to try to stall the process in an effort to avoid having to veto what critics say such

a move could be a big blow to the country's credibility as a mediator among the international bodies endorsing the bid is the european parliament calls the palestinian quest for statehood a legitimate target meanwhile israel has been provoking criticism from much from the world community after approving more settlements in occupied palestinian territory a senior official tells our t. unconditional us support and aid are a major factor in the country's behavior. it's very important what the you will be saying because. you're going to come through to other members of the security council and i think it's an important message for us that a president out of all of the european people saying blau done to clear out of this move to the united nation is very legitimate and we hope that this will reflect itself on the vaulting by the european governments and by the to a lot of both france and britain the americans have asked us and the israelis to start of. the talks which we did the direct talks which we did the indicted talks

which we did. have decided to end the freeze of settlements and what they've called the moratorium on this issue has totally bush the whole talks into total collapse even by companies that has said that the jewish settlements in the but as you know that there is an obstacle to peace they are not legitimate and so on we ask them today the european union the united states israel is announcing be seven months and what are you going to do about it so i think this is the question for the entitlement community there israel is a breeze every day violating the months by evaluating international legitimacy violating all resolutions that are related to united nation the question is what is it that the international community is doing about it we hope that the international community does not going to new to deal with this that i as a spoiled kid of the. some european capitals palestine is putting

i hopes on the u.n. security council our teams peter lavelle and his cross tire gas are putting your organizations credibility under scrutiny that full program coming your way i live in g.m.t. here's a preview. if we were to propose a hypothetical that tomorrow the united states of the united kingdom decide to go on a wall and the united nations security council doesn't give that you know there's a russia or china or whoever vetoing that particular decision then they decide to step. the united nations and go to war regardless what can the united nations do in reality they can do absolutely nothing and that is where the problem is we were absolutely i agree with you inside of it if i don't know that i should like it. because i do think before we become made to reduce this to a debate about whether colonialism still persists in attitude or fact one should not neglect the other half the other three quarters of the united nations which is doing humanitarian aid around the world where the united nations is the central organizing mechanism for the delivery of food aid for famine for post war conflict

. blaggard the u.n. using the security council as the only face of the u.n. whatever one's view of it is it's a real reductionism. take a look now at some other stories making headlines across the globe china has rocketed into space history after its first orbiting laboratory successfully entered orbit the unmanned facility the heavenly palace blasted off thursday the lab will stay in orbit for two years marking the first step in china's plans for its own space station by the end of the decade the module will be used as used to master the docking technique. a two hundred thousand students have clashed with police in the chilean capital demanding education reforms the protests
