the times of steel and the kings of photoshop rolled out some of their best work yet well the general mood being that the deal had been done long ago but it was an exciting for just a few days until the first rich shuffles in the corridors of power began. and if you think your views on russia's economic agenda as president if you can resign. my opinions do differ from only take such a decision after our talk to the prime minister so you've just been more successful still you can talk to whoever you want including the prime minister and the president i make sure you have some surprise right now between the president and fulton's long time there like i exceed. many questioning. them reverse the process the situation with mr cauldron is

a matter of discipline in government service we are a presidential republic elementary so it implements the president's policy if you don't agree you should step down meanwhile many read it not as a sign of a split of a new maturity in russia's democracy. for mostly a wish for spain care all the part of their point out there are these people probably remember the times for her there was a rift inside the party people which ultimately was one of the reasons for the collapse of the u.s.s.r. and i remember before coming to power and radio gave an interview where he basically said that russia will not survive another conflict inside being it's the big news of putin yet again running for president brought up so many questions that need treatment that it had to to need. t.v. hats to cross the t.'s and dot. most of them so you. know those people trust me of the president and that my approval rating is going to. prime minister putin

undoubtedly remains the most popular politician in our country and his rating is even higher because that usually it's the election campaign has just started. a simple question which people. have and come to work well who have lots of these decisions but i think these decisions are merely the party's recommendation of those people that's all the choice is made by the people and these are not new words you have saluting troops or any politician of any political field may lose an election but many questions are still in the air like why would a politician like me trinidad if his approval rating is still so high in russia not seek reelection and look to move the base of the new cabinet of ministers look like under him should he become pm immediately after the united russia congress maybe rejoiced in the fact that the country's top political is finally over and they can

go about their usual business but this week has shown that when it comes to the chess game of process and politics there are many more moves to be made before the final makeup of the new government is no it's to do that shilpa are. just after president we have showed as finance minister i say quarter in the door here's a rose that the dismissal could throw the russian economy into stagnation however a london based russia expert martin mccauley thinks the country has the potential to overcome financial hurdles. russia is in a pretty good economic situation at present if you look at the oil revenues if you do that if you go. wrong with so on russia is a very strong position in the world don't. really fall because it has risen over four hundred billion dollars. it can take some of the

consuming the eurozone and germany's angela merkel also announced a meeting in the coming days to finalize a radical expansion of the bloc's emergency cash. but as are the sarah first reports it may all yet come to nothing as the greek economy crumbles under the weight of unprecedented of sciri. greece has been the place the child of the year i think. with germany voting to expand the bailout fund the country looks that's to get that much needed. the health come with some condition here in kuwait the people say the price they're being made to pay them pay him high burning the barrel is headline day for the first he hits 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 bankruptcy the extra

appearance of stability but the greek crisis has now grown too big to be contained that's according to. the professor in athens. i think that the big question facing us today is not whether we are going to be followed but how we are going to default i mean all the measures thinking by this throwing by the european union that is to be on the i.m.f. leads one way or the other to some sort of the fall in some sort of month's default but this new board is going to be accompanied by newest even concert or state of the ministers also the so somebody give us there some of the of the productive capacity of this country i mean this is a vicious circle we have been to before it's on our own our own terms with means immediate still goods of payments to get this immediate exit of greece from the euro zone from the euro meanwhile in the u.s.

four troops are dealing here chef ski went to kos about to witness the deadlock. in some parts of the world this work you wrote would probably be part of an extreme safari called impossible it is now a quite extensive. ever since july the border dispute many lives have been dependent on this got her second grade all rolled through the mountain now this is the only way that belgrade can use to deliver food and petrol for the tens of thousands of serbs living in northern kosovo the course of the serbs have been barricade in the road since july in response to the cost of the police checkpoints which in force the trade embargo between belgrade and the beat of its on tuesday the situation turned critical again clashes between the barricades serbs and the k four troops led to multiple injuries on both sides k. four blame the cause of the serbs for starting the violence but injured alexander beach a father of two saw it differently as a dish. 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 perforated my not only nato forces also claim they used only rubber bullets and tear gas against the protest involved this was quickly rejected by doctors in meter it's fueling speculation as to who remains started to roll forty seven men in heavy condition gunshot wounds fractures and bruises there were not wood from rubber bullet will not a single of them had a rubber room all those wounds were caused by a regular bullet which we extract from their bodies on the delegation if you like to teach it on friday to go shake the barricade serbs but they came too late by the time their trucks pulled up at the border crossing before had already forced the barricades how exactly nato troops managed to disregard the un's plans is unknown

but they quickly set up a derivative work to their weapon. that journalists and he shoot the shoot to kill the order for anyone trying to penetrate it they've totally and openly step out of there you want to mandate and they're really really now just like thirty nine hundred ninety nine during the bombing when they were the force for the albanian separatists are now there infantry so this is what we have this is a clear breach of the u.n. charter and of resolution twelve forty four it's totally destroyed there are standing as any sort of mediator belgrade has reacted with indignation and who could negotiate with kosovo until the dispute is resolved meanwhile ok for refuses to comment on their actions and who goes to the border barricades the brooder is open now i'm sure of trucks looking at breach to suite is the way to destroy block suggest this is far from over betters like this one are scattered all across

northern kosovo and they pretty much reflect the mood of the local serbs it seems they would never give in and accept the fact that they're living in a self-proclaimed state and in this book canyon melting pot nobody knows where this standoff go and in the mind of the people or troops or become we get another frozen territorial dispute let's see or sense the sea reporting from kosovo third giant drift of it cho is a serbian foreign affairs writer for the us chronicles magazine believes nato forces have active beyond international law. let us imagine for argument's sake that bashar al assad's sent his security forces against a group of syrian demonstrators those troops were met with stones they fired live ammunition back and then claim they did it in self-defense i think that we can already hear that the rise of the laughter while western politicians and western

media and here today would have us believe that they were acting in self-defense when fighting first radical it's and then live ammunition at the rock throwing surface but what were they doing there in the first place the notion that they were actually helping kashi called the snake imposed his control and all that between process and so beautiful do properly called a ministry people writing writing means that they have exceeded their mandates and they're no longer acting in accordance with resolution twelve fifty four which is just about the only legal basis of their presence and find more thorough his comments and videos on our website our t.v. dot com field of despair thousands of farmers in india take their own lives devastated by a wire of a drive susan's i'm definitely. preparing for the grave why knows our sales again thanks to a dutch family who promised bring some of the wrong things and americans.

revolutionary euphoria an age of back in february soon gave way to disillusionment with both the people and political forces dissatisfied with the way the country is being run postmen guard manning feel led down by the transitional military council which has so far failed to implement promised democratic reform parties and he's now we went to cairo to find out more. we knew that change will 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 protests we know lines where you'll find a new chapter hasn't been published edited or slightly revised we still have the

supreme council of the on for some of those rulers i cannot say that. in any sense this country towards democracy barak may be gone but his policies are not bad hosni mubarak's case is ongoing at this strike you know new figures from human rights watch claims more civilians have been forced to face military trial for the last six months some twelve thousand during the entire thirty year rule of mubarak average civilians are giving to you know seven years in prison a lot of torture has occurred since staff has come into power. actor only so badly doesn't clown around when it comes to the supreme council or scaf he has taken part in protests since day one and still has scars from being detained. he said very long they told people they had to stick at home

before lights would come after that i was shot for the struggle between the bats and the head released only because of well heard and now must not leave the country for thirty years according to law if i have to i will seek asylum ruled stay and fight for freedom like mubarak's staff gets the support it needs to rule egypt from abroad the aid that we get from the us the one point five billion a year the easier proceeds 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 well the last post. history books 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

going to a different from in some areas it's getting more worse and he's now a r t congress. africa off the stronghold stands on the brink of a humanitarian catastrophe of red cross aid workers who have managed to bring vile medicine to the coastal city of syria described the situation there as dire the team also said they saw the city hospital being hit by rockets meanwhile he and revolutionary forces say they have surrounded syria and are preparing a final assault on khadafi loyalists there the chairman of the national transitional council said he's fighters hold a two day truce so at civilians to leave in the reports that have a rocket or mortar fire contains so contraband on from british civilians for peace in the view room however claims there are american war and main pockets of resistance and media which are not given enough media attention. there's a few other there's a few other issues that the media have left out what happened to the predominately

black town of toward god it's been ethnically totally cleansed by the promenade to rebels and these are the type of scandalous things that are going on that none of the western media want to report but my sources on the ground and i cross check my sources on the ground in libya tell me that money will leave is still a strong resistance against the pro nato forces and nato itself a very important border town between two new zealand and algeria has been captured by gadhafi as a resistance a town called got and also could bomb itself out 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. and the situation's heating up and now they're restless region while palestine fosters hopes for u.n. statehood israel is of proving more settlements on occupied territory coming up later if there are special report about israeli peace activists who are taking

a stand against their own country's policy which they see as illegal here's a preview. very first verses of the bible that all human beings are created settlement of came in god's image doesn't say just jews or god is. such a sort of percent of what i did as a common soldier knew how to play territories was to do with the turds doing what we call making our presence go out from some bozo here in arkansas indoors or into the other corner and did another house religion and nationalism but not as judaism i have been a part of the problem. part of what leads to. bloodshed if you want to. kill. a thousand four hundred people in a month and you want to expect that this will have no effect on their feet you have to be either extremely naive or it's truly stupid you don't even exist here like

your religious jew killing another jew and not you know the way they really did it . the right to protest is something the u.k. has long upheld and a fan of but now as the british government slaps a month long marching band on several london districts there are those who argue that civil liberties are under attack article or am it has more. the view of workers activists on the home office ban on marching it's clear it's an attack on the basic democratic rights in this country three september in six areas of london anyone marching like these people to last winter is liable to be arrested and fined or even imprisoned. the ban was prompted by plans by the sea muslim english defense league here in luton in february to march through tower

hamlets the area with the highest concentration of muslims in the country but instead of planning one march on one day. the home office banned all marches in six baros for an entire month activist richard seymour sees a wider motive once the bias past doesn't necessarily mean to say that march isn't going to happen it just means that. more powers and that's part of the wider problem but if you're restricted to a static construction replaceable right pen you are in. a restroom very. small purses or for instance these people behind me are amongst the lucky few they still can march just by pure accident of geography we're here in lumberton which is not one of the six affected by the battle but if as many fear the government extend and widen the plan to take in more parts of london the scenes that you see behind me both small and large marches through london and many other cities across the

country could be a thing of the past the band comes hot on the heels of widespread rioting in many english cities in august it also coincides with the introduction of government austerity measures which some say amounts to the dismantling of the entire welfare state many say public fear of civil unrest is being manipulated to prevent unions from turning out to protest fierce cuts and patrick regan from the workers revolutionary party says it's just the tip of the iceberg. talk about shutting down facebook social network sites. about it or your civil war measures because what they're doing in britain is a story. which inevitably. the majority of the population will oppose freedom of expression and dissociation in shrines in u.k. and european law with the u.k.

renowned for its powerful union organizations but the ban gives police the ultimate power to step in and arrest demonstrators merely for exercising their right to speak out against the government and that's a dangerous precedent to set a bit arty london. and that's all the news for now but i'll be back with a recap of our top stories in just a few moments and stay with us.
