but we're taking. a very warm welcome to this is our city live from moscow and they tell you troops in northern ca have bulldozed a barricade that with by serbs near the border area without solved all journalists were forced away barbed wire brought in along with a promise to shoot to kill anyone trying to cross it. he has sent this report. now the latest developments in the ongoing dispute at the border crossing between. serbia is that the case for troops have brought in bulldozers and demolished the serbian very kid this was the closest barricade to the border post between kosovo and serbia the case for all the. men from the manmade barricade which was

down close to the border crossing the k four troops have set up a perimeter and they say that should anyone try to break it should try to penetrate into the zone into the border crossing they will shoot to kill some of them are even pointing their weapons towards us journalists towards the serbs who are stationed here this particular checkpoint was in the spotlight of the major violence on tuesday with more than eleven men injured in those clashes has now been removed or under control of the case for forces. now eleven men still remain in hospitals with different wounds despite that the case for forces and nato claimed that they used only rubber bullets and tear gas grenades to pacify the crowd most of the people injured have gunshot wounds we managed to speak to the doctors in the hospitals and they confirmed this information to us that surgeries were performed on these men to remove bullets from their bodies some say this may ask you late into. serious violence in particular the russian foreign ministry has already

expressed deep concerns over the situation saying that it could destabilize the things in the already stressed region the melting port which is in the balkans and indeed everyone is watching how. well let's discuss these developments now with political analyst alexander a bit she joins me live now from belgrade i missed having many thanks for being with us here. the nato peacekeepers as we have been there reportedly removing barricades and threatening journalists and all this with a shoot to kill policy where do you see this all heading. well the mater is not definitely acting as an occupying force there is no question about it they've totally and openly stepped out of the un mandate and there really really now just like during one nine hundred ninety nine during the bombing when there was the air force for the albanian separatists are now acting as their infantry so this is what

we have this is a clear breach of the u.n. charter and of the resolution twelve forty four so you don't believe that said the nato u.s. presence there was in any way necessary to retain the peace. while nato all they're doing right now is that they're actually. destabilizing the situation there are actually bringing conflict. everything was reasonably peaceful until they gave the green light for albanian special police forces to forcibly take the administrative border back in july and ever since then they've been giving them full support so they're encouraging actually the government to prishtina. headed by a caution toci who is wanted for various charges from organ trafficking to drug trafficking and that they're encouraging him to more violence so that's what they're not a peace factor at all their total factor of war and the stabilization they will

carry very strong emotions coming out of belgrade now when all of this today in the summer. called the on the u.n. security council to respond but seemingly nothing actually happened why do you feel that the u.n. seems to be paying not much attention to this. well actually the thing is the security council and in the security council we have veto power on the part of the there are the united states france or britain and any one of these countries can always stop any action from being taken and they've been using their problems so russia has been bringing up all of all this up front. for discussions they've asked for decisions to be made but the western forces the western powers have been blocking any practical decision or action from being taken now russia's view you can be if you will they've already said that nato a peacekeeping force is the case for us that they make me all preaching that

mandate in that region and taking sides how much do you feel that this is compromising the idea of nato as a natural or on a neutral peacekeeper as a whole. it's it's it's totally destroyed there are standing as any sort of a mediator. and i don't know how they are going to reclaim it the only way they would be able to reclaim their role would be if they actually. encourage things to go back to the way they were before the july events but they've made it clear that they're not going to do that so in the absence of that everyone is just going to look at nato here as being for only on the albanian side on the side of what serbia considers to be secessionists so we don't really have a mediator here anymore and that's even more dangerous ok many thanks for the easy stuff from the air at that with political analyst alexander of public speaking to

us from. well we'll be following this story as it continues to develop and we will bring you the latest updates from the spalls. russia's president but explaining why he's not seeking a second term the need that amid the stress the team the team of putin have common goals and that huge popularity among russians will help achieve them should he return to the presidency next year medvedev outlined his reasons than an extensive interview with russian media and i leaned over has the details from. mostly spoke about the upcoming race for the presidential seat in explaining why he thinks prime minister putin is the best man for the job well first of all he said ratings show. is more loved in the country than. himself. when it comes to achieving common goals there's no such thing as power struggle it's up to the people of this country to decide who they want to see as their president regardless of what. things is best

for the country himself in that respect he emphasized that all the speculations about the presidential election of two thousand and twelve being a sealed deal here in russia are absolutely irresponsible and unacceptable especially jump to the citizens to. just words it's the truth any politician could lose an election along with his or her political party in our country's history as well as other countries that's what's happened more than anything can happen there's no predetermination let the citizens decide who has more authority people who decide. to highlight the key points are the by voting for a candidate or a party will by turning them down that's what democracy is about do you believe in . the recent discharge of the country's finance minister aleksey calling it a matter of political discipline just to remind you of shortly after presently have suggested pushing the floor. of the other side of the atlantic russian finance

minister speaking at a press conference in washington has said that he does not want to remain at his post with the new government with you just pointed out that some who must have been doing his job for way too long if you got so bored of it that he's making such irresponsible statements and making them abroad nonetheless he said with his professionalism and experience putin should have no trouble whatsoever finding another job another way to serve his country. and we'll bring you the full of a. and all of that interview with the primitive it four thirty pm g.m.t. better coming up later this hour the return to the prettiest square as thousands take to central cairo protests against the new rule is why they believe the revolution didn't change in the country. of millions fleeing from the vicious fighting between the national transitional council and daffy loyalists in the city of servants with no attention from the. international desk

inspectors are having trouble visiting key ministries in greece because angry as all get behind them and their latest anti austerity protests the delegation are about to decide whether greece is fit enough for another fortune if the bailout the government lost track of a collapse later this month while the decision was suspended earlier over doubts of the country's doing enough to reduce its signal missed debt leaders have pushed through pension cuts and extra taxes to try and please their creditors but the public remains convinced that the relentless austerity policy is only making things worse these are first reports from. greece has been the poster child of the eurozone debt crisis with germany voting to expand the bailout fund the country looks set to get that much needed cash injection the help come with some conditions and here in greece the people say the price that's being made to pay is simply too

high birding that. is the deadline day for the first to be hit with the greek government's new special tax it's one of the measures they use in place to try to secure the next tranche of money the country needs to avoid bankruptcy the extra tax which is due to doubts about another three percent from people. supposed to help block some of the massive deficits in the budget bill for more than a year's salary cuts rises in living called people here. breaking points in the last two years almost everybody has at least thirty percent of his salary of. air a cost analysis from the opposition movement entitled pay he tells me how the needs meant expanded rapidly in recent months as more and more people hit that financial wall before the people most of the people were not playing because they wanted to protest against the unjust situation know there are thousands and dozens of people

who will not pay because in most people's desperation has become increasingly evident on the streets of greece the violence is repeatedly play can out between riot place and protest as she states even more clashes his parliament and feted in yet another austerity measure in the fall of any property tax base where organizing all the various desirous to put goodies on there are. just for political reasons and critics do not need i.m.f. so many people in greece now question just here it is the thing control unfortunately very very a leaders in your resume are the bankers. is mr. bunker. to. begin

again are the. facts in the eurozone despite germany having dated positively to expand the size and power of the european bailout fund already critics are questioning whether that will be enough insights now turn to the many challenges you still face the problem who will move from. other european countries then the german banks. even germany. will be you know. will be affected you will find a solution to not just for greece but for all the european union countries with past measures failing to have the facts as political leaders continue to struggle to convince the public. still hangs in the balance that these protests. continue many people here the greece is a country now at risk of having not only

a financial but it democratic deficit as well sir artie outside the parliament building in athens. to berlin for more on the euro money go around so we can do a financial analyst fabio the must see him at the masters many thanks for joining us here on. now with. fifty three percent of germans apparently opposed to giving more aid to greece why do you think i'm going merkel so committed to pumping more and seemingly more money into. you know the first broad message i want to put across is this is basically not a rescue package for greece or for ireland or for portugal or for whatever country it is basically a rescue package for german and french banks and certainly the people have a very very good sense of that that is why the broadly opposed to pumping more money into that whole. international inspects is trying to break through public

anger to assess whether greece is in a state that is open all the cash injection if they can't make an assessment what happens then you know. in my view greece is bankrupt there's no way to deny that the greece can't repay its debts and the only solution the only viable solution for me would be a reconstruction program for greece so we can get back on the growth path and you just have to face the question who's financing the program and basically those who would benefit from the crisis have to be taxed in order to finance the thing what is happening now is basically about. going to rectify the european financial stability facility and off the wall it's clear it's bankruptcy and then all the by the taxpayers and this is even on the. democratic perspective this is

a viable solution. so this will be if greece does finally get the cash will solve the problem for the long term three hundred fifty billion euros of debt servicing greece how to the pay miles's know that there won't be. a request. you know certainly would be a catastrophe for greece if they wouldn't have any more access to fresh capital because then. interest rates would feel the rise and they basically couldn't pay all of it anymore salaries and the whole economy would collapse but what we've seen now is that the u.s. trying to to to lift the majority of the people paid the brunt of the crisis and what is happening with that is that the economy already trained by five percent last year and debts were rising not falling even after the first rescue package so

in my opinion you simply cannot continue that way and hold both ways to a catastrophe let's focus on germany's prospects now of a market that is it calms me when the greed it would back a bailout hole rather large amount two hundred eleven billion euros but is this putting germany of the economic house at risk by putting so much on the line. you know germany is. basically the most powerful economy in europe however even germany cannot provide. indefinite funds that's that's for sure we made one proposal like currently banks are boring. at very low interest rates at one point five percent money from the e.c.b. and then lending it at very high rates to countries like greece italy or spain and we cannot support that and more taxpayers' money is poured into that black hole

so we're saying basically be sure directly finance these countries at a very low interest rates and then there would be at least an option to get these countries back on the growth path like a must see this money that was big into us from berlin. thank you very much now thousands of egyptians have gathered in cairo's main square to take part in a mass protest named we claim that the revolution they feel let down by the transitional military council and more a current emergency rule to be lifted to visceral through pressuring for more open election laws something echoed by political parties threatening to boycott november's parliamentary election r.t. if anything now a report on their own happiness is driving people back to cairo through. we knew that change would come to egypt a new chapter of freedom and democracy don't judge

a book by its cover when reading post mubarak egypt it's between the lines where you'll find the new chapter hasn't been published ended or slightly revised we still have the supreme council of the armed forces those. who have been. in any sense gearing this country towards democracy barak may be gone but his policies are not that hosni mubarak's case is ongoing at this tribe you know new figures from human rights watch claims more civilians have been forced face military trials last six months some twelve thousand during the entire thirty year rule of mubarak average civilians are giving five to you know seven years in prison a lot of torture has occurred since the skaf has come into power. actor only so badly doesn't clown around when it comes to the supreme council or

skaf he has taken part in protests since day one and still has scars from being detained because looks are much worse he said very long they told people they had to stick it holy for right after that i was shocked with a stun gun beaten with a baton the head. only because i'm well known now leave the country for thirty years according to law if i have to seek asylum but all stay and fight for freedom like mubarak skaf gets the support it needs to rule egypt from a brand. that we get from the us that one point five billion a year easier to seize from from the usa. most of it entirely goes to the supreme court to the army you know the scouts and while the west coast history books will change for the better the arab spring is a massive opportunity to spread peace prosperity democracy egypt sions

are left reading the writing on the wall in many areas it's the same as before don't want different from in some areas it's getting more worse and he's now a r t congress. meanwhile thousands of civilians are fleeing the city of set in libya as fighting between pro and anti gadhafi forces there rages two ways out there from the international committee of the red cross says the city critically short of water food and medicine the refugees have little choice but to head into the death of. the people who already that they are living in a mission you know them on their own that very very information you got from the people getting out of. niger knowing that they're in charge responsible are you getting growing all there is no no no no they have asked for stores all have here have been trying since for five weeks to enter the city of what hours and did not

did not search. well there are a few places that your hair about the humanitarian crisis since that in the remaining pockets of resistance in libya so can chant and from british civilians the peace in libya told us now spoke of their plan i thought given enough attention . malcolm x. one said at the media what will teach you is that your friends are your enemies and your enemies are your friends i think if empire learned from vietnam some lessons are you don't let the media have free access they definitely learned the lessons from the two thousand and three war of aggression against iraq that's make sure that there's no critical media but the media is on side also they learn the lesson and make sure the media doesn't oppose the war make sure there's no prison or controlled things like abu ghraib prison the controversies to make sure none of the kind of factual humanitarian fallout like a rock happened in libya through the media so i think this is the situation we face with it and the struggle is really on the media front my sources on the ground and i cross check my sources on the ground in libya tell me that when he will leave

that is still a strong resistance against the pro nato forces and nato itself and also my my my sources on the ground mention that a very important border town between two news in libya and algeria has been captured by gadhafi as a resistance town called that and also good. between the algerian and libyan border is also surrounded by gadhafi as resistance against nato so really what we have in libya is a situation i came to afghanistan but the difference being is that gadhafi is arguably a lot more popular than the taliban's national resistance is and was in afghanistan and we always like to hear your opinion on all the stories that we're covering so on our website we're asking you what do you think about the current situation in egypt and libya and here's what you're saying right now with a majority of voters they far believe it's all the countries which have benefited the most while about fifteen percent of the or more than that i think it's too early to draw any conclusions and their major view are really split between either

being happy with the democratic look of libya or just speeding that none of the revolutions have brought positive results well do visits home to tell us what you think about it all. that traveled from other world news in brief now this hour yemen's ministry of defense says its kill the u.s. born terrorist mastermind are lucky he was allegedly involved in a number of attacks on america including the failed christmas day bombing in new york in two thousand and nine. was said to be on the cia's priority target list and his death follows a number of failed assassination attempts by the us army. i feel a peano made one a landmark case in hong kong allowing her to apply for permanent residency it puts into question hong kong's immigration policy which excludes foreign made from applying for residency even though other foreigners can do so after seven years the

rule of accused of being discriminatory groups politicians argue it will put a strain on housing and social services the government said it would appeal the ruling. that's the way the news exists our don't go away they will go to business day now with you via. that's right time to delve into the world of business and growing fears of a global recession are making investors for their cash brisk emerging markets russia is no exception with the column is saying sixty billion dollars could flee the country this year this is also adding pressure on the ruble it's lost twelve percent against the u.s. dollar since the beginning of september however chris we saw from trick the dialogue believes the rebels recovery is not far away. my sense is what we're seeing seeing from europe now is more of an effort at least to fix the problem for now the u.s. fed has already said that it will do what's necessary to try and sustain growth in

u.s. economy so i think we're pretty much at the bottom of the weakness in the ruble right know i would believe and i would expect to see the recover some of its losses over the next couple of months and i would expect to see you're stronger than it is today with educators greek default and u.s. fed taking action to try and stimulate growth in the economy in the ideal currency if you like for russia is probably around twenty eight or so against the dollar ducts you know that's a good position for the ruble to be parked as it were in order to attract those long term capital without attracting too much speculative capital. let's take a look at the markets now courage is heading for the biggest quarterly to clients since two thousand and eight. chinese manufacturing fell for a third month germany's retail sales declined the most and for once and u.s. consumer spending slowed in august and lower incomes so light sweet is now trading at eighty one dollars per barrel while brand blind is just under one hundred three

dollars per barrel. in the u.s. the markets follow extending the biggest quarterly drop since two thousand and eight not so negative economic data i'm moving on to europe shares remain under pressure after a week start and wilfried fears of a global slowdown are arching sentiment concerns of chinese growth have been cited as a reason for the drop luxury goods group properties share price asian focus bank standard chartered is also suffering though silver mine a first in a low is the top prize. and here in russia the markets were in the right at the close for the market since it was the biggest quarterly drop in almost three years let's have a look at some of the individual show moves on the my its energy stocks are in the red with losing more than three percent financials also under pressure with a five percent. ok that's all we have time for and also while saurus chuckle what side archie dot com slash business.

now let's take it with a reminder of all the bump in the ring this hour nate so look forward to the bulldogs is the. border with more than kosovo it follows news that a shoot to kill policy was in a false name the disputed checkpoint has reached new heights. in the very. same goals they're running for the presidency but popularity among russians makes him the better candidate he's explained why he withdrew from the race in an interview to russian media. greeks are bracing themselves for yet more carbs. in the latest round of measures to push through the government it's.
