just after seven o'clock saturday night here in moscow this is r.t. with me rory sushi in a northern cause of nato peacekeepers have used to shoot to kill threats to break a roadblock by protesters on the border earlier attempts to remove it this week failed and left several serbs injured. is close to the action he filed this report on friday of the k. four troops removed one of the barricades which the serbs set up in order to block the police and the k. four troops from gaining access to the area and we understand that more than one hundred k. four troops came over there pointed their guns at the serbs blockading this particular area and ordered them that they should leave the serbs obeyed and retreated peacefully with no violence and set up another
11:02 am
a manmade checkpoint and two large trucks on a bridge thus blocking the road the access for troops into the northern part of course there was still more than ten people remain in local hospitals in me that i would say in the town of. after being injured in tuesday's clashes with a k. four troops we managed to pay them a visit and ask them what exactly happened on tuesday. we were standing by the barricade when the soldiers started shouting and shooting at us i didn't know what they were shooting with so i got scared and started running away and i was hit on the shoulder and it turned out to be a perforating wound of my lung. the most interesting fact here is that the k. four troops and nato have been trying to convince everybody that they only used rubber bullets and tear gas grenades against the angry mob to pacify them but doctors in local hospitals told us that they those people who were injured in those
11:03 am
clashes were delivered to hospitals carrying gunshot wounds to his room. seven men in heavy condition gunshot wounds fractures and bruises there were not wounds from rubber bullets not a single of them had a rubber room all those wounds were caused by regular bullets which we extracted from their bodies and now the serbs may have lost one of their checkpoints but they have lots more around the area we've counted more than ten different checkpoints the determination of the serb people is very strong now to show that they do not want to be part of the course of a republic. although they are telling us to leave but we have no way to leave this is because constable is our land our home and our life it seems to be on our own now and we will stand our ground. there has been very harsh international response on the actions of this week here in kosovo with the united states accusing the cost
11:04 am
of a service of provoking violence and the russian foreign ministry expressing deep is the concerns over the situation here saying that this may seem as a small as a minor border crossing dispute but in reality this could destabilize the situation in the whole region. reporting right meantime the actions of the nato peacekeepers it may only provide cannot prevent more violence but according to belgrade it based political analyst alexander. they've totally and openly stepped out of the un mandate and they're 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're actually. the stabilizing the situation there are actually bringing
11:05 am
conflict. everything was reasonably peaceful until they gave the green light for our 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 preach to not. headed by caution toci wanted for various charges from organ trafficking to drug trafficking and they're encouraging him to more violence that they're not of peace at all they're drove war and destabilization. in cause of he'll be bringing us all the updates as and when they happen meanwhile you can head to watch he's free video page to get the freshest pictures of this ongoing dispute you can watch and then and there or even download them and broadcast quality for free check it out at a free video feed dot com. and this should.

11:07 am
that the eastern part of libya was a hotbed of islamic radicalism some of these people have been connected to al qaeda one of the al-qaeda leaders who was killed recently a cheer was a libyan and he came from this general area and now we know that one of the leaders of the rebel forces that took tripoli was also considered very close to al qaeda and was indeed detained by the united states for some time before he was allowed to go free so it appears that the people with the guns on the side of the libyan rebels are now the government are people who have this very mixed background and it's not clear how that turned out when you get down to the point of once the country's under the control of this of this force which side of this force will will be predominant. meantime libyan revolutionary forces say they have surrounded the city of a stronghold meanwhile aid agencies are alarmed at the thousands of civilians
11:08 am
fleeing the besieged people being driven from their homes by fierce fighting and an overall lack of supply. as the deputy editor of the independent online magazine spiked says the situation has only been made worse by nato. and this is the inevitable 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 last time by khadafi forces in fact this is the kind of loss that we expected in tripoli a few weeks ago that never happened and clearly there's a lost time there and the thing about 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 directly to harvey but by saying that it's given the khadafi forces a real sense of to keep keep their civilians in the city probably well i'm sure many of them would like to get out of there now. affectively become
11:09 am
a kind of shield by which the they can they can stay there for a hike on for a bit longer. well with no end in sight to the ongoing libyan conflict many are warning it could follow the path of the afghan war that's now been raging for a decade later in the program here on r.t. we asked people in new york what they think ten years of fighting in afghanistan has achieved. i don't really see anything changing even if we stay there another hundred years for a war there for that long it better be for something you know we better be years of get out of it you think that's going to happen. more opinions on the worthiness of the afghan war from the big apple coming your way in just a few minutes time. was one of the worst droughts in decades forces a number of farmers in india to take their own lives look at why their families blame the state and not mother nature. just one in ten minutes past the hour now
11:10 am
here in moscow french president nicolas sarkozy has admitted the financial failure of greece would actually be the failure of all of europe and again called on e.u. partners not to leave athens without help following a meeting with the country's prime minister in paris sarkozy's words however not being met by action as the eurozone is still delaying its decision on whether to release more of the barrel of money international inspectors are trying to wade through the tide of public anger to assess whether athens deserves another shot of the greek government meantime is pushed through pension cuts and extra taxes to try and police its creditors william dartmouth an m.e.p. for the u.k. independence party says the e.u. is obsession with the euro can only end in disaster. as far as the greek people are concerned adherents to the single currency means higher taxes lower government expenditure and cuts in their standard of living and also for and also even even
11:11 am
for a country like germany in fact specifically a country like germany and here is 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 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 men 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 yours which are required are actually paid up and called on. and it's not only greeks up in arms about the situation they've been dumped into the u.s.
11:12 am
is also witnessing angry moods right in the nation's financial hub hundreds of throwing their weight behind the latest demonstration it's called occupy wall street it's all that's a protest against the huge influence on the bad behavior of corporations and billionaires artie's honest and i was there for us that protesters are here for a simple reason they feel duped and defrauded by the system that land on street. the financial meltdown that led to an economic collapse one in six americans currently living in poverty bankers were held down accountable and it was the people left to suffer this could be the skeleton you know the beginning of one possibly as high profile activists and scholars started joining these crowds it became harder for the media to ignore these demonstrations it also became hard for most americans to not take these crowd seriously as police brutality started to her last weekend over eighty protesters were arrested several women were surrounded by a police man and beast with pepper sprayed but these protesters say they're willing
11:13 am
to pay any price to get their voices heard a lot of people on the one percent you know and you know a fraction of the one percent that have all the money and really all of our if you think about it because would they say goes they influenced a lot of decisions which doesn't help anyone else but them so that's why everyone else has been through you know the protesters gather first family and separately we are beginning to wonder if this is becoming reminiscent of what america something wisconsin this up to seventy thousand people essentially storm the capitol will take because they're not going to work because of the union support that has two hundred fifty people have come out. any of these demonstrators are planning to speak here and growth numbers until a real peace or a revolution after all if the air. gringos applauded by the powers that be why not play same to
11:14 am
a similar price pretty. well as all foreigners are accused of trying to silence the angry voice on wall street sees a very oh and max keiser and stacy hubbard are refusing to stay quiet it's a very they look at why some are so keen to put an end to the financial where. the world bank the fed the b.o.h. we all agree there we can't talk the truth here in the financial world here's a little video clip i want to turn to and this is the former greek finance minister yeah no it's papantonio and he is that talking about this rumors of a fifty percent. haircut and greek debt should a solution require a fifty percent haircut as as i believe the current finance minister has suggested you know they've got to fight it's me this is closer because if you did this and he said dangers of a dangerous proposition for greece yes pap antonio financial harpies i mean that's and he doesn't want to talk about it understandably but the cure for financial
11:15 am
herpes yanis pap antonio is you've got to talk about it you've gotta go to the doctor or whatever and you've got to take care of your financial harpies i realise it's embarrassing and you should have been fornicating at the i.m.f. they gave me the financial harpies now you're a pariah. all right so now it's seven fifteen pm here in moscow the russian press is a cheering over president did latest interview where he explained his decision not to enter the upcoming presidential race the president admitted that he shares common goals with a lot of important and that the current prime minister's high popularity levels make him the best man for the kind of a c. you're going to see going off now has the reaction from the papers. well the president's interview with the heads of the three biggest t.v. stations in russia did focus on some of the most important to latest political
11:16 am
events in the country such as his decision not to run for a second term in office his recommendation off prime minister vladimir putin for the top job and to the sudden dismissal off on now former finance minister aleksey cruden so there's lots of analysis and opinions in saturday's press in russia opinions both positive and not so positive let's start with the crimean sun newspaper really worried well known here in russia and it's published an article to try to show you this published an article the title of what were you after and what's your ambition and the analysts that the newspaper was talking to have been saying that even though they need to do a deal has finally announced his political plans and the plans of his stand them with the prime minister was doing fortunately there's still a loss of uncertainty since the official political programs for the upcoming parliamentary and presidential elections still have not been announced however this
11:17 am
point of view is not shared by the analysts that the easiest good newspaper i spoke to this is another well known big newspaper in russia it's probably a lot to go under the title of how significant is the timing and its analysts have been saying that the media has finally managed to close a deal list of the biggest clears during that upcoming presidential election next more trouble now or loss of focus is definitely on the sudden dismissal rolls now former finance minister aleksey khuda who is always thought to be the key ally both of the government and off the president's administration the kind of sun newspaper says that step to dismiss him like receiving more questions into what else could happen while the me that he did if he's still in office he. wherever there are analysts will see. the dismissal just shows that the president is serious in his ambitions just to merge with the parliamentary election will be held in russia in

11:21 am
those who have say it's not enough studies show that during the ninety's farmers were able to make around sixty dollars per acre of land every year today just about forty dollars for almost four acres of land the government has pledged billions of dollars in relief packages to farmers and promised to increase the minimum rate on certain exports but many believe the farmers are being ignored. the government is neglecting agriculture basic information like wind power will be there when is not available for the farmers the government is not providing sufficient loans which is forcing the foam is to knock on the doors of money lenders. those who've tried to beat the drought themselves took out huge loans to dig wells but for many it's in vain. we are losing by making these wells but we are surviving because we are determined not to come. it's suicide we are leaving
