welcome it's midnight here in moscow by name is kevin zero in our top story for you tonight on our religious tensions in egypt that intensified following the fall of mubarak has now grown into full scale riots over twenty people were killed and hundreds injured as clashes erupted between coptic christians and security forces in cairo what began as a peaceful rally calling for justice over attacks on christian churches by muslim extremists quickly turned into the most violent episode since february revolution military vehicles were clearly see charging through crowds and plowing into people while army infantry fired rubber bullets and tear gas it's still not clear who sparked the fatal saying that state of media has placed place with the christian protesters that mideast corporate culture spoke to us he says blaming them for the violence is hypocritical of the country's military. this is

a very cynical attempt by the defacto rulers of the country the military to portray a. minority of the population and religious minority as troublemakers when in fact all they're doing are trying to seek some justice and overturn institutionalized discrimination that still residue from them time of war barak and his policies so this is absolutely cynical kind of the way it's covered by the military council and its media let's look at what the background that we're looking at here in egypt because some people got carried away after mubarak stepped down and declared their evolution over in fact what we are facing is a popular uprising that was a poor aborted by a military coup leaving pretty much a political and security vacuum in place and that's the context for what's happening in egypt. all the kind of sides involved. from the emerging secular

parties to the more established parties to the military to the civil administration to administration don't seem to have enough authority to control the emergence to ation egypt so that void within that vacuum anything is possible at the moment. sure you see this last night what do you think about this story today we're asking why violence erupted in egypt just eight months after the uprising toppled the country's leaders and this is what you've been telling us tonight almost half of you slightly less than last hours sure that we will soon see a regime far worse than other hosni mubarak sixteen percent of reporting to a sectarian rift is the main reason for the violence twenty one percent think egypt's enemies from overseas are instigating the clashes rest of you sure the fed the revolution is simply not over yet share your thoughts on our web site r.t. dot com. to another trouble spot in africa now this time libya heavy fighting for the duffy's home of sirte shows no sign of abating however

libya's revolutionary forces claim that they're closer than ever to taking full control of the town to under siege from for months they've made significant advances by capturing the same university the main hospital in the convention center that it was the key base of the colonel's loyalists heavy fighting however still rages in some pockets of the city considered the most important stronghold of libya's ousted leader investigative journalist simon assaf told me the assault on surge is hurting civilians not ensuring the liberation. i think what's happening in sirte is really quite shocking i mean if you remove yourself from saying i support one side or support the other side what we're seeing is a full scale assault on. you know very densely populated area in which civilians are paying a very very heavy price now the reason why this is important is because the whole basis on which nato imposed the no fly zone at the beginning of this conflict was

precisely to defend civilians against military attack so now we have if you like the allies of nato doing what their enemies were doing a few months ago and you have to begin to ask yourself where is nato now why is nato not saying these are civilians under attack by a military force we have to. stop we have to stop this attack and i think what we're beginning to see is if you like is the kind of reemergence of the double standards what's happening in libya now is going to be a war crime the attack on sirte is a war crime and i think that has to stop immediately has to be a negotiation they have to be allowed to surrender but more importantly i think if they don't surrender then you put the city under siege allow the civilians to flee and they're not and they're not doing with their investigative journalist simon assaf but he and he will street protests in its force way demonstrators voices are only getting louder and spreading wide from coast to coast in dozens of cities people have been taking to the streets to demand an end to the fat cat culture and economic inequality has been important in the heart of the movement new york city.

this demonstration that this group occupy wall street has really mobilized a lot of momentum and as far as the protesters value to remain and stay that clearly was the case this past weekend there was bunch of protesters quit camped out outside of the new york stock exchange in lower manhattan and one man was arrested because he was sleeping in the walkway entering the new york stock exchange and that was the single arrest but there were so many people down there sleeping outside of it taking part in this demonstration that he only had room to sleep on the wall way before his arrest the demonstrators hung up a sign on the new york stock exchange building that said banks got bailed out we got sold out this weekend we also did see religious groups join this movement members of the christian jewish muslim clergy clergy is in new york city joined

demonstrators in lower manhattan to support them in this ongoing protest against corporate influence over u.s. politics families were also bringing their young children out there to take part in this ongoing demonstration and there's a kickstarter called ethics that has to pay for an occupy wall street in times square if just twenty thousand people log on to their website in support of these billboards these demonstrations popping up all across the country and i will for example thirty two people got arrested over the weekend for taking part in our street demonstration it's gotten so large that mainstream media in the united states has no choice but to cover it they cannot ignore it anymore and i think the tipping point was the arrest of nearly eight hundred peaceful protesters on the brooklyn bridge but even having said that though even the next day the new york times didn't give that story much room on the front page but now.

mainstream publications such as the new york times and mainstream media outlets in the us are turning their attention to this movement because you know alternative news stations are covering the story it's growing bigger and if mainstream media doesn't cover it it's going to be seen as an absolute blackout and too many people at this point in the us too many americans are involved for the mainstream media to simply ignore it any longer but his correspondent in new york report there were hundreds demonstrators been arrested since the campaign began last month's christopher green a blogger and founder of an independent media channel told me there's going to be more violence on u.s. streets too as the protests gather momentum there is going to be some kind of martyrdom in the near future we're going to see violence or rob we could argue that we already have the violence in this country with the police pepper spraying protesters with you know innocent teenage women and be you know but taunted you know on kiro this is what the alternative media showcasing right now again this is

a revolution this is this is a change in psychology this is an evolution in human consciousness the people are waking up and we're demanding change this is no different from what we saw overseas in the middle east and northern africa the revolution has now come to the united states of america book of christopher great no u.s. correspondents following developments too of course in the heart of events in new york keeping you updated on how those protests unfold some of the latest tweets. thousands are rallying in the downtown area and broadway's been blocked off because of the campaign you can follow the action on how to defeat the school cope. russia could soon come to the rescue of debt ridden economies the helping hand was extended by the presidential aide of the details of the plan will only be discussed after a year of comes up with a clear and to crisis strategy. reports. well this news comes from the presidential economic aide who said there have been meetings recently focusing primarily on

spain and those meetings a raise the possibility of russia being able to buy some of spain's debt and so provide extra help for the e.u. debt crisis he also said that of the brics countries brazil russia india china and south africa could try and help economically with the use economic woes but there is a big but it relies on the e.u. coming up with a clear plan to try and contain the debt crisis that is currently sweeping across the eurozone we all know about the problems in greece italy and spain credit ratings have recently been downgraded again raising fears of major debt problems there so russia says it's true it's too early at the moment to talk about any concrete plans to start buying up spanish debt we want to see a unanimous plan first greece remains the epicenter of the e.u. debt crisis with international creditors still finalizing talks on whether to hand

athens and the cash injection talk to richard wellings from the institute of economic affairs says there is no other solution at this stage than the dissolution of the eurozone. eventually if the current going up and up is lighter in the mind even the most powerful economies in europe such as france and germany so basically i don't think this is the politicians and bureaucrats. their main priority is to avoid taking the blame so all they're doing is is ticking we can down the road do you think german public opinion is hardly and of course german taxpayers or german savers are the people who the real victims of these these quick fixes when the european central bank prints money to make an official bailouts of spain and italy as it has been of course people with savings in euro's they're the ones they suffer from but of course your problem is that german taxpayers are going to be on the whole not just greece but potentially all the other southern european countries so really the only long term solution is an orderly dissolution of the eurozone probably starting with greece around the world the e.u.

mediator in the kosovo dialogue is set to make course of representatives after holding talks with officials in belgrade robert cooper is helping to resume an exchange between the sides in the ground to a halt after a violent incident at the cost of the border last month at least eleven people were wounded then after ethnic serbs clashed with nato peacekeepers who tried to disperse protesters against part of those to take over two border crossings. the american deep sea exploration company says it's discovered a ship reportedly filled with twenty tons of silver in the north atlantic the vessel said to be the remains of a ship which sank during the first world war after the pleated by german submarine the silver contained aboard is worth an estimated twenty million dollars they think a recovery expedition is due to start next spring. pakistan's arrested a dozen al-qaeda league suspects follows increasing pressure from the us which accused the country of sheltering terrorists and while officially the to see eye to

eye on many issues some in washington are ready support action against islam a bad is gun if you can reports for r.t. . the drums of war beating loud and clear washington calls pakistan a safe haven for terrorists we cannot hear the news coming across the border attacking our forces attacking afghanistan and afghanistan east and disappearing back into a safe haven. economy network for one acts as a veritable arm of pakistan's internal services intelligence agency pakistan is furious over the accusations calling them unsubstantiated and saying that washington came very close to losing a major ally in its war on terror if you talk about things i'm quite sure see a year old says things of many terrorist organizations around the world which by which we mean intelligence links over the last ten years pakistan has repeatedly compromised its own sovereignty to help the americans in their operations the us

while chasing down suspected terrorists has been bombing pakistan with drones on a regular basis the strikes have killed thousands of civilians use of going attacks is not against our sovereignty it is also counterproductive and it's the people that we want to build as friends in this buy to them after the latest threats from washington fearing an even tougher assault thousands of pakistanis angrily rallied to say enough is enough for these people the us is a hostile power it's china that they see as a friend in the americans in this one instance have hand it over a major hearts and minds victory to the chinese in pakistan in spring china officially notified washington that any attack on pakistan will be seen as an act of aggression against beijing the pakistani prime minister praised his country's relations with china calling them quote higher than mountains deeper than oceans stronger than steel and sweeter than honey washington on the other hand seems to

have mastered the art of alienating friends with pakistan. taking america's accusations that they support terrorists as a way to shift the blame for the failure of u.s. policies on pakistan but the blame game may blow up into full scale aggression the experts believe that we need to elevate our response they will have a lot of bipartisan support on capitol hill u.s. lawmakers have already signaled that if there is the will for tough action against pakistan they'll support it and when washington says the words safe haven for terrorists that's what you expect tough action and if it does happen pakistan could be the new afghanistan but with china as a friend and nuclear bombs at hand sounds like a deadly combination for the united states i'm going to check our reporting from washington our team. for those exact words being talked about next door knobs he's cross-talk debate show focusing on what interests the u.s.

is pursuing in pakistan right now. there is no imperial ambusher there are we trying to get out we try to punish the people who attacked the united states we don't see most of that and there's a lot of arguing for getting out very quickly certainly obama much of the right. of the republicans want to get out about going to very quickly how many terrorists do you have to kill before you finally say enough's enough i mean the government there been no constraints on the number of people that have been able to be killed ten years of this no constraint drone attacks assassinations of bombings killing of wedding parties at some point isn't it time to say nothing. founded a rousing fear of curiosity in equal measure evidence of the existence of bigfoot remains elusive however the hunt for the yeti shows no sign of ending is our national took part in a siberian expedition to try to track down the legend. the yeti also known as big

food snowman hole sus quote has been exciting scientists and enthusiasts from all the world for more than a century but explorers have never had enough evidence to determine that this apparently gigantic creature is more than just a big legend these beautiful mountainous forests in russia siberia i remember a few places on earth thought to be roamed by yetis and this is where the scientists from around the globe have come for the largest expedition of its kind since the nineteenth fifties to sort out what's never been done before to finally catch the creature. but first we go to get blessing from baselines indigenous inhabitants and the least their spiritual support. shaman and dashed doesn't have any doubts i'm not sure i can tell you that but yes

he does exist encouraged we continue our journey the path goes through impassable tiger fake it in the hunt for the evidence every minor detail becomes important ranch is twisted like this is believed to be a key clue to the his existence the scientists say it could not have been done by enemy as they don't have hair and or fingers to do and humans cannot do it this way either as they are just not strong enough to do for we go into the forest the more so cold markers we come across to the guards in the middle of a virgin tiger forest are also high interest the participants of the expedition are saying it's not just wind falling trees the branches they say could have been put in this way deliberately by someone and other stroke of luck we meet a local who says he saw a tall man like harry creature nearby explorers say. there's a very high to me yet over there in the cave in shelter or at least discover some

traces of this crater so let's go there. and sure enough the clues emerge there is what seems to be a bit it was told they feel like even if it was just for the pretty certainly not a bad the scientists agree while remaining cautious of jumping to conclusions but this is a beautiful surface book in which we're tracking it and there's only one interesting minute here and certainly if you were right there. to the right. bigfoot playing hopscotch sure would like to see a left foot. best the left one has never been discovered and celebrations are put on hold these are the real thing or they're convenient props to make a very good story but i wouldn't be quick to determine which of those two alternatives is the truth without further. the study that'll take

a while could provide cost iran proof of the yet is existence but there are plenty here who want to be held in their breath. even if you bring them snow men dead or alive the skeptics will say that's a pathology or a mutation i think this could be explained by an impotent including financial impotence of the academic science them vicious expeditions seems to have those involved going in circles and so it seems that until concrete evidence is found the discovery of big food remains a big feet. reported from siberia. the mystery continues well. kevin zero in fact speaking with us tonight coming up next to your interview with the serbian first deputy prime minister give us a view from belgrade about the current dispute on the cost of a serbian border and how it could influence relations pression in.

this but in the us there but thank you for joining us today mr dutch h. how do the recent events in the north of course of i characterized the plans of course a month or a tease to return the so-called independence of the region. the latest events in the north of serbia show two facts first at the scene is about to set up customs around what they think is the independent state of kosovo on the other hand they

show that there are international unions and a whole number of states that approve dean is intentions we're facing a situation here when international forces deployed in kosovo in fact serve pristine is needs rather than maintain a neutral position this is why serbia opposes this attempt to introduce a customs and administrative line on the border with serbia serbia is all for dialogue and for negotiations i think that kosovo is only making matters worse by addressing other states when i've said many times that serbia is all for a peaceful resolution of the arguments around kosovo serbia also has to take care of its people living in calls about. nobody can expect or demand of serbia for any goal even to join the e.u. to state that it is not interested in serbs or that it has no interests in kosovo this is why serbia demanded a session of the un security council a demand backed by russia but the security council was unable to take

a decision it was jus to the resistance of western states who think that the cost of a case is closed and kosovo proclaimed its independence unilaterally those countries agreed with its in now what they think there's nothing more to talk about well i think there is there is still room for negotiation and old resolutions must be fair . and if it would a decisive serbian stance leads to another surge of violence against serbian population of kosovo ultimately increasing the flow of serbian refugees from kosovo is course but with. over two hundred thousand moved to serbia from kosovo fleeing nato air raids and the subsequent deployment of nato and k four forces at the moment there are some two hundred thousand serbs there and it's crucial for serbia it is a key national interest that they stay in kosovo of course serbia has its red lines that it will never allow pristina to cross for example to use force against its

people that which would spur a new wave of conflict and lead to more ethnic cleansing and more refugees serbia has made it known to the international community that these patients cannot be tried with attacks against serbia and the kosovo serbs according to the security council said be in place and the serbian army may not be stationed in kosovo on the other hand serves a constantly being oppressed which may lead to a new wave of ethnic cleansing that's it is very important that peace remains insincere dialogue continues we need to find a way out of the situation where on the one hand there are countries that acknowledge the one sided proclamation of independence and on the other. and there is serbia which does not recognize the push diena an initiative with full force most nato and you countries have recognized kosovo's independence to what extent can the nato peacekeeping forces and the u. delegated mission be impartial and objective in a situation like this but. it is

a delicate and well justified question when you likes to assent to kosovo it guaranteed the european union guaranteed as well that it would be neutral but the missions recent actions have proved that the reality is from from neutral when the president of ulick's announces the mission's intention to observe the laws of kosovo it testifies today breaching of the neutrality status obligations my experience suggests and i've been in politics for twenty years already the partiality of big european states is evident they are biased and pursue double standards in their politics unfortunately this is the reality we have to face we have to counter this sad reality or find ways out of the situation of course the plans of hashem touchy are actually built around k four and ulick's therefore if serbia opposes tetchy that means it opposes k four and you lex and has to wage war with the rest of the world once again trying to prove that serbia is opposed to the

international community all in all i think you're right to say that it is true that we would like for a new lex to fulfill their mission in a more neutral and discreet way. again with one of the preconditions of serve as accession to the e.u. was the arrest and extradition of general rot can lead to the hague tribunal will deserve to think of the legal proceedings how is the trial going is serbia satisfied with it but. i think the e.u. has already forgotten about the hague tribunal and the conditions it set for serbia that it should detain let it to end to the union and now kosovo has become a central issue a ground to put pressure on serbia can. be found serbia has handed forty six people over to the hague tribunal all convicted by it we think the tribunal has based its every decision on the assumption that all serbs are to blame for the problems of x. yugoslavia and most trials that have taken place lately said in the dark it was necessary that my country found this is true but it's also necessary that we prove

his innocence in court this should be done in the best interest of the state because such cases have started to cast a shadow over the reputation of the country everyone who committed military crimes should be held responsible but this responsibility cannot be collective it cannot be assumed by the whole nation the whole country we have the example of croatia where national heroes generals of the croatian army were convicted and you see that the albanians as seldom among those who have to face punishment for the military crimes they committed against the serbian population the hague tribunal did not want to hear cases of organ trafficking involving albanians who abuse serbs it's time to ask the question what global picture was the hague tribunal striving to draw of itself and of the states of the world the tribunal is perceived as highly partial and discriminatory in serbia at least by common citizens but despite all

this serbia has met the commitments it made. thank you for the interview mr dutch h. but thank you. nature and discover its beauty. communicate with the wild and. test yourself. becomes three. see what nature can give you.
