they're actually bringing conflict. everything was reasonably peaceful until they gave the green light for albanian special police forces to forcibly take. administrative border control live and ever since then they've been giving them full support to secure encouraging actually the government to preach to not. headed by caution prachi who is wanted for various charges from organ trafficking to drug trafficking and they're encouraging him to more violence and they're not a peace factor at all there are total factor of war and the stabilization. our tease and i say it is continuing to monitor the situation in the region and of course you can read his latest updates from costco through our twitter stream and one of his latest post he says the serbs he's spoken to are determined to stay to see the capital follow us on twitter r.t.

underscore. and of course we'll be following this story as it develops and bring you all the latest updates as we get them from the. but russia's president has been explaining why he's not seeking a second term the nature of a deal of stress that he admires he reports and have common goals in that put into huge popularity among russians will help achieve them should he returned to the presidency next year and yet have been outlining his reasons in an extensive russian media interview. the sort of in moscow has been a poring over the answers. meeting with explained that this is a decision was made basing on two major aspects the first one is that him and prime minister watching are putting their views on most social economic and political policies and the second stereotype or into the present is based simply on logic really needed says that there are various polls show that human self enjoys

a positive approval rating among the rumors but it's prime minister vladimir putin who is truly the most popular political figure in the country and that's why it's of vital in order for the current policies to call for europe or to become the next president but you can rid of stress that this was simply a recommendation and it's still going to be up to the people get decide who becomes a russia's next leader whilst there will be other politicians from other parties who will force also to pour in this election much more. especially choices made by the people and these are not mere words which absolutely true any politician and any political force may lose an election what do you mean everything has been determined that 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 alex

excluding the president now saying that this was a matter of political discipline and also perhaps that he couldn't just got. we are all in this position. due to the high level. of seek to do as an economist as a professional who will have no problem finding another job in order to see his own feet in the future. called a retreat babiche a political analyst for the real news agency here in moscow says that this interview once again proves that the talk about any rift in the tab was wrong from the start because rumors were mostly wishful thinking and all the bottles of corn and all. of united russia you say russia and russia these people probably remember the times of war but there was a rift inside the court of buehrle which ultimately was one of the reasons for the collapse of the us so we can and get rid of saw what would happen to

a teachers and i remember before coming to power we didn't give an interview where he basically said that russia will not survive another conflict inside beats so from the very beginning i didn't believe that there was a serious rift or you can march the highlights the president will get an interview in about an hour and of course you can see the full conversation on our website any time at r.t. dot com. thousands of civilians are trying to flee the city of sirte libya where fierce fighting between pro and anti get off the forces continues on friday former rebels launched a barrage of rockets out the colonel's home city ever so out at me suvi from the red cross example he told r.t. the fighting and the dark shortage of essential zur forcing people to leave. but the situation inserts we have heard accounts of i.d.p.'s about. water

and electricity being cut and a lot of difficulties with the with the water supplies with 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 the bridge and many of these ideas pieces have choosing to remain around as closely as possible to their hometown 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 and rob lyons from the old life political magazines said a serious humanitarian crisis is a tragic but inevitable outcome of the foreign intervention in libya. and this is the inevitable consequence of the think things that i got rolling back in february the. intervention was always going to end up with a kind of. like it often forces in fact is this is the kind of last time i could often forces in fact is this is the kind of law that we expected in tripoli a few weeks ago that never happened and clearly there's a lot in this thing about the role of the international community now could be making things worse not some people have problems in the city boy actually having made such a fuss about civilians being asian or even by the hated half of the problem is that if you're going to have a military intervention in some way you can you can just simply call to clear that you're going to protect civilians in that way that the best thing that nato could

have sort of the why was just not getting involved which would really be my preference i have to say war like be decisive about our involvement but what they did was it was quite clear that having been put through the process with iraq and afghanistan they were very old willing to get involved in any kind of serious way put boots on the ground and not kind of thing and so we had a long drawn out conflict. which didn't need to be that. emphasizing that this is 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 protests named to reclaim the revolution or they feel left down by the transitional military council and want the current emergency rule to be lifted activists are also pressuring for more open election laws something echoed by political parties are threatening to boycott of avarice parliamentary election

supreme court to the to the army or 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 but in many areas it's the same as before . it's getting more worse and he's now a r t kyra. well do give us your opinion on this story on our website we're asking what you think about post revolution egypt and libya and here's what you were saying right now looking at the chart the majority believe it's other countries which have benefited from the uprisings most almost a fifth of you think it's too early to draw any conclusions the remainder are split between either being happy with the new democratic look of the countries or feeling

that none of the revolutions are brought positive results just visit r.t. dot com and tell us what you think. now international debts inspectors are having trouble visiting key ministries in greece because angry workers are occupying them in their latest anti a sturdy protest the delegation are now things to decide whether greece is enough for another portion of the bailout the government's last chance to go to collapse later this month the decision was suspended earlier over doubts that the country is doing enough to reduce its enormous debts leaders have pushed through pension cuts set extra taxes to try and please their creditors but the public remains convinced that the relentless a steady policy is only making things worse largely sarah for its reports from athens. greece has been the poster child of the year i think that crisis with germany waiting to expand the bella the country looks that's to get that much needed cash injection to help come with some conditions here in greece the people

say they're being made to pay simply too high burning that. is deadline day for the first to be hit with a quick 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 nothing more than a year's salary cuts rises in living costs the people here are already at breaking point the last two years almost everybody was at least thirty percent of his salary of his functional area 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. the people who are offering because

they want to get just the truth from no. thousands and dozens of foreign. governments peoples desperation has become increasingly evident on the streets of greece the violence is repeatedly breaking out between riot place protesters. even more clashes parliament again feted in yet another austerity measure in the form of a new property tax. or organizing or. to put on. just for the little. tricks do not. many people in greece now question just here it is the same control our fortunes are very very early days in your room are the bankers. from. bunkers being shared folders being. called.

a district austerity measures to continue many people here because this is a country now at risk and having not only a financial but it democratic deficit as well. r.t. outside the parliament building in athens those euro lawmakers commitments of the currency project has brought pain not only to the struggling members but to those who bail them out that's the view of william darkness and say european parliament member for the u.k. party. as for the greek priefer a concern out here is to the single currency means higher taxes low gov expenditure and cuts in the son of the living but also for a lot and also even even for a country like germany and france specifically a country like germany cheers for the single currency 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 not and it is because of the fanaticism of this european elite and we should look very carefully

what they have to say in the future these are guilty men and they are discredited and what is very worrying is that as my as my father used to say to me when i was a young man if you make a financial guarantee the nature of five financial guarantees is that they go cools 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 koreans of yours which are required are actually paid up and called are. you watching our twenty four hours a day seven days a week our websites there for you with updates on all our latest stories are much more including life without a hit russian rockets soars into the skies from the baikonur cosmodrome carrying a major telecommunications satellite what. the police officer has been attacked by a muslim. after he took the wives while the balance right remove the veil the full

year this is also adding pressure on the ruble it's lost twelve percent against the u.s. dollar since the beginning of september how with the chris with the from tree could dollar believes the rubles recover 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 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 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 see stronger it is today would actually be predicated. for us for 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 debts you know that's a good position for the ruble to be as it were in order to attract those long term
