just after ten pm here in the russian capital you're watching r.t. let's start with a story we've been closely monitoring and nato troops in northern kossovo have bulldoze a barricade that was set up by serbs near the border area well that's after all journalists were forced away barbed wire brought in along with a promise to shoot to kill anyone trying to cross it artie's an executive chef ski has sent this report. well the latest developments in the ongoing dispute at a border crossing between. is that the case for troops have brought in bulldozers and demolished the serbian barricades this was the closest barricade to the border post between kosovo and serbia the case for volunteers have pushed 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 journalists or words 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 months still remain in hospitals with different wounds despite that the k. four 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 hospital 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 a 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 pot which is in the balkans and indeed everyone is watching how developments. political analysts alex on that are published in belgrade told us that nato peacekeepers are more likely to revive the war than to bring peace. 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 were 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 all they're doing right now is that they are actually. the stabilizing the situation there actually bringing conflict. everything was reasonably peaceful until they gave the green light for albanian

special police forces to forcibly take the administrative the border control why and ever since then they've been giving them full support to secure encouraging actually the government to preach to. headed by caution toci who is wanted for various charges from organ trafficking to drug trafficking and they're encouraging him to more violence so they're not a peace for at all they're told through more of the stabilisation. is continuing to monitor the situation in the region and you can of course read his latest updates from also through our twitter stream and one of his latest post he says that the serbs he's spoken to what determined to stay to the bitter end or if you can follow us on twitter there are other score. will be following this story as it develops and that bring you all the latest updates as we get it from the. now russia's president's been explaining why he's not a seeking

a second term commitment that of stress that he had that he were put in have common goals and the potency huge popularity among russians will help achieve them should he return to the presidency next year and that has been outlining his reasons in an extensive russian media interview. in moscow has been pouring over the. need to move you to explain that this is a decision was made basing on two major aspects the first one is that him and foreign minister why did you approach and share their views on most social economic and political policies and the second aspect teleporting to the president is based simply on launching the meeting we needed says that the various polls show that he was so enjoys a positive approval rating among the voters but it's prime minister vladimir putin who is truly the most popular political figure in the country and that's why it's so vital in order for the current policies to go on for europe or to become the

next president but you can move ahead of stressing that this was simply a recommendation and it's still going to be up to the people didn't side to become so russia's next leader whilst there will be other politicians from other parties will force also to or in this election next march who were the choices made by the people and these are not me who would be true any politician and any political force may lose an election what you mean everything has been determined by the people decide who they should vote for whose popularity is greater this is what democracy is about the president also talked about another major recent political event which is the sacking of finance minister who do the president now saying that this was a matter of political discipline and also perhaps that he couldn't just got bored of all this. position but knew that we didn't stress. the high level and.

seek to do as an economist does a professional who will have no problem finding another job in order to serve his country in the future. dmitri babich a political analyst for the ria news agency here in moscow says that this interview once again proves that the talk about any rift in the tandem was wrong from the start because room most were mostly wishful thinking and all the bottom of the ball announce. of united russia russia and outside russia these people probably remember that time showed me how gorbachev when there was a rift inside the boarded bureau which ultimately was one of the reasons for the collapse of the u.s.s.r. which in and madrid of seoul would happen ten to eight years and i remember before coming to me there gave an interview where he basically said that russia will not survive another conflict inside the elites so from the very beginning i didn't

believe that there was a serious rift or you can watch the highlights of president and yet as interview later this hour and you can see the full conversation of course on our website that's our dot com. now thousands of civilians are trying to flee the city of sirte in libya where fierce fighting between pro and anti gadhafi forces continues on friday former rebels launched a barrage of rockets at the colonel's home city that was so oddly sooty from the red cross in tripoli told r.t. the fighting at the dark shorter's of the sun shells are forcing people to leave. by the situation in search we have heard accounts of i.d.p.'s about. water and electricity being cut of and a lot of difficulties with the with the water supplies with the with the access to food and access to medical supplies and medical health services we have not been able to have the guarantees from all the sides all the parties to

the conflict so we have no idea of what's going on right now in the city of sirte unfortunately what we do know is that there are a lot of i.d.p.'s coming out people are fleeing from the city of sirte passing through that a bridge and many of these ideas pieces have choosing to remain around as closely as possible to their home town they are living in difficult conditions there are a lot of children and women also pregnant women who have difficult access to medical care so the situation is dire we are very concerned especially about their health situation right now. rob lyons from the on my political magazine spike said a serious humanitarian crisis is a tragic but inevitable outcome of the foreign intervention in libya. this is the

they have a small consequence of the think things that they got rolling back in february that kind of half hearted intervention was always going to end up with a kind of last stand by gadhafi forces in fact is this is the kind of last stand by gadhafi forces in fact is this is the kind of last stand that we expected in tripoli a few weeks ago that never happened and clearly there's a lost and that and the thing about the interview the role of the international community now could be making things worse not simply by bombarding the city but boy actually having made such a fuss about civilians being injured or even to have a problem isn't there if you're going to have a military intervention in some way you can you can't just and you can't declare that you're going to protect civilians in that way but the best thing that nato could have done in the way it was just not getting involved which would really be my preference after all be decisive about that involvement but what they did was it was quite clear that having been through the process with iraq and afghanistan they

were very unwilling to get involved in any kind of serious way to put boots on the ground and that kind of thing and so we had a long drawn out conflict. which didn't need to be done. by always emphasizing that this was a humanitarian intervention that civilians were going to get hurt actually in the long run probably more civilians got as a result of. meanwhile thousands of egyptians have gathered in cairo's main square to take part in a mass protest named reclaim the revolution well they feel left down by the transitional military council and they want the current emergency rule to be lifted activists are also pressuring for more open election laws or something echoed by political parties threatening to boycott of embers parliamentary election parties and he said now reports on the a happiness that's driving people back on to cairo streets. we knew that change had 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 and it did were slightly revised we still have the supreme council of the on poor says those. i cannot say that they have been. in any sense getting 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 civilian courts face military trials 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 staff has come into power. actor 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 the marks were much worse he said very long they told people they had to stick it humbly for months after that i was shot for the struggle and beaten with a baton the head least only because i'm well known. now most of us 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 abroad and the aid that we get from the us that one point five billion a year the easier to seize from from the usa and most of it entirely goes to the to the supreme court to the to the army you know the scout 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. it's getting more worse and he's now a r t cairo. all do give us your opinion on this story on our website we're asking you what do you think about the post revolution egypt and libya and here's what you're saying right now all the majority believe it's countries which have benefited most from the uprisings all about fifteen percent think it's too early to draw any conclusions the remainder are split between either happy with the new democratic look of the countries or feeling that not of the revolutions have brought positive results again just visit r.t. dot com and tell us what you think. international debt inspectors are having trouble visiting key ministries in greece because we workers are occupying them in their latest ante

a sterile protest the delegation are in athens to decide whether greece is fit enough for another portion of the bailout the government's last chance to collapse later this month the decision was suspended earlier over doubts that the country is doing enough to reduce its enormous debt leaders have pushed through pension cuts of extra taxes to try and please their creditors but the public remains convinced that the relentlessness thirty policy is only making things worse. furthur reports now from athens. greece has been the place the child of the year i think that crisis with germany voting to expand the bailout fund the country looks that's to get that much needed cash injection to help come with some conditions here in greece the people say the price they're being made to pay simply too high burning that there is deadline day for the first to be hit with the greek government's new special tax it's one of the measures they put in place to try to secure the next

tranche of money the country needs to avoid bankruptcy the extra tax which is about another three percent from people's annual income supposed to help plug some of the massive deficit in the budget but after more than a year's salary cuts rises in living costs the people here are already at breaking point the last two years almost inevitable because at least thirty percent of his salary or. era cost analysis from the opposition movement entitled we won't pay he tells me how the medium an expanded rapidly in recent months as more and more people hit that financial wall before. people were offering because they wanted to protest against the situation no. forums and dozens of. people's desperation has become increasingly evident on the streets of greece the

violence is repeatedly breaking out between riot place protest is. even more clashes as parliament again feted in yet another austerity measure in the fall of any property tax. or organize in order. to put on there are. just four. bricks do not. many people in greece now question just who it is. the thing control unfortunately . very early this year is on the bankers. from european central bank bankers are being shareholders being. called again and again and again are the. taxpayers in the euro zone despite germany having dated positively to expand the size and power of the year pin band out to

fund already critics are questioning whether that will be enough concise now turn to the many challenges the usa still faces the problem will move from. other european countries then to german banks to the end. even germany. the european union. will be affected you will find the solution to be not just for all the european union countries with past measures failing to have the facts but as political leaders continue to struggle to convince the public the future of the eurozone still hangs in the balance with these protests over strict austerity measures set to continue many people hate the greece is a country now at risk of having not only a financial but a democratic deficit as well sir. outside the parliament building in athens zero

zero zero lawmakers commitment to the current project has brought pain not only to the struggling members but to those who bail them out well that's the view of william. european parliament member for the u.k. independence party. as far as the greek people are concerned adherents to the single currency means higher taxes low gov expenditure and cuts in their standard of living and also for and also even even for a country like germany in fact specifically a country like germany at here's to the single currency it means massive transfer payments paid to countries in southern europe and what's happening is that the germans are no longer putting up with it we shouldn't be where we are now and it is because of the fanaticism of this european elite and we should look very carefully at what they have to say in the future these are guilty men and they are discredited what is very worrying is that as my as my father used to say to me when i was a young man he said if you make a financial guarantee the nature of five financial guarantees is that they get

caught and there is a limit to how much even a country like germany can produce because a country like france is actually much much less and there will be a long term question marks over the credit credit worthiness of france and germany if the multiple trillions of euro's which are required are actually paid up and called on. you're watching our t.v. and twenty four hours a day seven days a week our websites there for you with updates on all our latest stories and much more including why without a hitch a russian rocket soars into the skies from the baikonur cosmodrome. telecommunications satellite plus. a police officer has been attacked by a muslim man and brussels after he demanded that the man's wife with her veil full coverage of this story is available at r.t. dot com.

a special admissions committee of the u.n. security council has held its first meeting over the palestinian push for statehood all their review will continue next week when the actual vote will take place and that's after nine members of the council promised to back the bid and at this stage analysts believe america will try to stall the process to avoid vetoing the rest of . the international bodies and dorsett the bid is a european parliament which called the palestinian quest for statehood a legitimate target meanwhile israel has yet again come under fire from much of the world community after approving more settlements on occupied palestinian territory a senior official told r.t. that unconditional u.s. support and aid remain a measure factor behind israel's behavior the americans have. stopped. which we did brought

a direct talks which we did have decided to end the freeze of settlements and what they're called the moratorium on this issue has pushed the whole talks into total collapse even by companies that has. jewish settlements in the but if you know that there is an obstacle to be the. not legitimate and so on we asked them to do the european union the united states israel is announcing the seven months what are you going to do about it so i think this is the question for the international community there israel is a breeze every day violating the months by violating international legitimacy violating all resolutions related to united nations the question is what is it that their international community is doing about it we hope that the international community does not wanting you to deal with israel as a spoiled could be a wash and some european capitals. let's look at some other world headlines at this

from europe now is more of an effort at least to fix the problem for now the u.s. fed has already said 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 now no i would believe i would expect to see the ruble recover some of its losses over the next couple of months and i would expect to. today with absolutely predicated no greek default and u.s. fed taking action to try and stimulate the economy when the ideal currency if you like for russia is probably around twenty eight or so against the dollar debts 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 speck of capital. and it's time to take a look at the markets the european stocks ended trading session in the red following a weak start and fears of a global slowdown hurting sentiment concerns over chinese growth the society is the

reason for the drop in luxury goods group prices usually focus chatters was also suffering silver mine a first was the top. and here in russia both horses were also in the red at the closed for the r.t.s. it was the biggest quarterly drop in almost three years it lost more than thirty percent. sixteen percent sure in the same period let's take a look at some of the individual share moves in the my six energy stocks along with more than three percent financial spall so under pressure with dropping almost six percent till monday for much prettier reps up today straight for us. while we're finishing under such amber and it's been one of the worst. months actually the worst quarters since two thousand and eight for the russian market it's been a really really bad week and the problem for russia has been that despite what's been a relatively. the decent domestic case domestic story for russia it's getting hit

by uncertainty over what's going to happen in europe is going to is greece going to default and also what's happening in the u.s. what's the u.s. growth profile so russia's called an early tough place right now and the markets selling off very very aggressively and one of the big issues has been for russia that it had a very strong rally in the first quarter of this year a lot of liquidity came into the russian market because the oil prices rising and those a lot of liquidity generated by q.e. two about trade is completely reversed right now we've seen extremely aggressive and flows from russia since may and it's continued aggressively through september. that's all the business news from all small stores check all websites archie dot com slash business. twenty years ago the largest country in the world to certain places of.
