inside this economic prison. is they need to devalue. this is r.t. we have. course i've got plenty more for you this hour plenty of time for that after the u.s. claims that they've uncovered an assassination plot by iran we've got a report for you on how analysts who question the evidence and why surround would have a motive in the first place and try and dig into that story a bit for you. before the former ukrainian prime minister yulia timoshenko feels the laws icy grip just two days after being sentenced to seven years behind bars for abuses of power and gas deals that she signed with russia now a new set of fraud charges lined up against the guilty verdict the international anger for russia the e.u. and the united states in a week. judgement day for ukraine's democracy that was how some dubbed events in a key of course this week where former prime minister yulia timoshenko was awaiting the verdict over her a legit shady dealings in a gas deal with russia her supporters took to the streets in her defense before

being dispersed by the police. three months of nonstop protests surrounding the case culminated in the biggest reminder yet of the orange revolution of two thousand and four uprising which made him a shango a household name. now as then there were tens of thousands in the streets and they could anger and even naked activists this group staging another talk was demonstration against all sides in the dispute but the main drama was inside the court especially after the judges country were shelled verdict. the court has ruled that yulia vladimir of motivation who is guilty under article three six five hundred three of the criminal code of ukraine and sentences her to seven years imprisonment under noise of the right to work and civil service for three years just last year or two machines that was one of the most influential female politicians in the world but having lost her power and now her liberty to go was

furious. with the retiree and regime or its verdict will stop me the trial showed that the constitution and justice had been trampled underfoot i urge you to begin the struggle it's a very difficult and important moment we have to protect ukraine against the authoritarian regime can you not. the prosecution claimed she abused power while signing gas deals with russia in two thousand and nine the accusation has raised eyebrows in moscow which insists the contracts were completely legitimate and we cannot accept that the legitimate. contract which remains in force which was never changed. could become the reason. for the good decision. which took place to the e.u. also doubted president viktor yanukovych has assurances that the case had not been politicized and lashed out at ukraine's leadership experts say kiev now finds

itself in a very difficult position to potential membership the european union is some years away and i think we shouldn't pretend otherwise but we do once the countries in europe ceased in to get questions here not just in terms of membership in terms of european values like the rule of justice and this is clearly an extraordinary setback and i do think it is quite possible that the invitation for president. to come here on the twenty eighth of october will now be withdrawn another criminal case was launched against him a shank or two days after the verdict was announced accusing her of shifting her own debt to russia's defense ministry on to ukraine's budget fifteen years ago this only added to her image of a martyr a symbol of freedom supported by the masses and few doubt she would hesitate to capitalize on that status even if she has to wait seven years to do so just hours after the simmering tension in central kiev it is back to quiet and normal again it

is unclear whether unity much sankoh say has been sealed as half spurs are now speculating that a presidential pardon is still have possibility but these protesters here are determined to stay here for at least another week in any case let's see russia party reporting from kiev in ukraine. well as going see their tempers running really high outside court after you get him a shank his guilty verdict was announced and our correspondent documented exactly what happened there was what the figures that we got more pictures to show you facebook dot com slash teen news and we've also got the footage of the angry response if you haven't a you tube channel for you too. it seems if gas deal drugs or is all over the news of the moment later in our program tonight we find out what e.u. regulators were looking for when they raided the european offices of the russian energy giant gazprom. next low and nato forces in kosovo have delivered an

ultimatum to ethnic serbs manning the barricades at the border crossing the region's breakaway north they've all to to remove the obstructions monday or peacekeepers will step in and clear the road themselves the serbs complain that they've been given too little time to comply the road blocks of no been in place for nearly a month set up in protest the need to leave forces taking over the checkpoint and allowed in kosovo customs officers to be placed in there late last month you may recall some of the barricades would bulldoze resulting in violence with peacekeepers using rubber bullets and tear gas then against the letters actions would be legitimate if not for the fact they also serve the interests of course of an official says nicola tenacity he's a political analyst for the magazine new serbian political thoughts who spoke today . legally they do have a right to as they say. in for its freedom of movement on the whole territory of cost of war but the problem is with legitimacy because the

serbian authorities are thought to serve and possible to recognize nato is right and right to enforce the law and possible but the problem is that most need a country the native itself recognizes the independence of possible officials and is currently trying to implement their laws and to establish their checkpoints at the border between northern parts of more and central serbia and that is what is an acceptable for the service so ok for in itself and should it be only a nato convoy there would be no problem whatsoever they could all cause the problem is that they carry in themselves meaning in officials from the possible government . iranian president mahmoud it would initiate has dismissed claims by washington the to run plotted to assassinate the saudi arabian ambassador to the u.s. an american delegation is now heading to russia china and turkey to provide evidence to back up this the stations washington has warned that it's committed to holding to iran to account for it but iran says the claims are an attempt to

isolate it from the international community and those within the country say any u.s. actually will not go unanswered. and the more pressure that the united states tries to impose our pani iran the iranians will push back as well the united states is being utterly the sinus iran has absolutely no motive to carry out such an operation if you ron did hypothetically want to carry out this operation they could have done it in the middle east in an area where there are more high profile figures and where it could be carried out much easier why would iran want to create extra sensitivity with the united states who nancy. obviously iran gains nothing from it the only people who do gain is the united states by distracting attention away away from its problems at home such as the economic hardship that people are facing its decline in the middle east it helps israel come out of isolation it helps the saudis slowly regime try to united will again some theoretical or

hypothetical foreign enemy. toward reform of starting to syria where a new constitution is being drafted after months of anti-government protests a draft due to be completed within four months present the cells called for multi-party elections in february after the months from protesters who've been on the streets now since march this week tens of thousands of assad's supporters have been cheering for the government in the syrian capital the rest has claimed over three thousand lives with the u.n. warning that the country might be heading for a full blown civil war artist has recently spoke to people from both sides and sent us this report. but the voices of support. and continuing dissent some ending in deadly clashes polar opposites in their demands but in some way united by a newfound zeal to take a stand where the fact that the syrian conflict was that gathered show their support for the government is going up far cry from images we've been seeing in

other cities a country where there have been reporting was really figurative or for that matter to government protesters should however what they could do about it where in this country when they call their forces outside the hotel that was very late for everybody the. alarm her husband and young children were one of many families who braved the heat and joy the crowds a downtown damascus. it's true that we knew nothing about politics before but now we take a stand even if i'm a sunni muslim i'm pro this president. ever since most people started revealing their political stance openly some people with mock me and say since when do you know about politics what do you know there are divisions among family members some are pro west side some are anti but that's how it is. it appears that apathy is becoming less of an option for citizens of a nation now under intense international scrutiny i never watch news i never cared

. you know i never never had any interest in politics but. i think most of us hated books watch the news media god because they always want to know what i don't think and then you have the right back around one of the issues that i kept thinking you can't because. if there are those like the new i who sing who are no strangers to picking a side and making it known he's long been voicing his discontent of what he calls a repressive regime and today facebook is one of his name schools in coordinating dissent catalyst activism has evolved in syria for me i feel that my voice goes further now back then it started with stating an opinion going to jail but hitting it bad and no one would even know about it that has changed now that people are more politically aware i'm sane has been thrown in jail says he was tortured and finds himself constantly looking over his shoulder. i was detained for spreading

the word on the violent crackdown in daraa but i'd feel like a coward if i didn't risk why a life while those on the streets are doing so asking for the regime to fall a call staunchly opposed by those on the other side that it was. a. good. thing. for political career also me and activism among syrians are growing whatever side of the divide they're on people here see the future of their country is at stake but all are adamant that future is firmly in their own hands. that's our cilia r.t. damascus. egypt's military rulers of this week issued a decree banning all forms of discrimination itself the worst violence since the fed be revolution which toppled president mubarak more than twenty five people were killed and hundreds injured in clashes between coptic christians and security forces in cairo military vehicles and see charging through the crowds well troops

fired rubber bullets and tear gas it had started as a peaceful demo for justice after attacks on christian churches by muslim extremists say told media blame the christian protesters despite witnesses say that i'm connected troublemakers with violence mideast blogger cultural told me the country's military rulers are scapegoating religious minority. this is a very cynical attempt by defacto rulers of the country the military to portray a. minority of the population religious minority as troublemakers when in fact all they're doing are trying to seek some justice and overturn institutionalized discrimination that's the. residue from the time of what barak and his policies what we are facing is a popular uprising that was of course are boarded 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 don't seem to have enough authority to control the emergence to ation egypt so that void within that vacuum of anything is possible at the moment. we should raise by you regulators of the european office of russian energy giant gazprom may force review supply deals to europe industry analysts say the searchers were desperate to pressure russia to sell gas on better terms than a bushel picks up the story. this event still to be one reason behind the e.u. raids on gazprom offices at the beginning of october european energy giants electricity to france and b a s f said to join russia sell stream pipeline to europe and they're said to be the this world for the bucco an e.u. backed rival their success they've all got told from last miles and the commission of law for example it's their pet project but why would the e.u. want these raids to spook russia

a reliable supplier to renegotiate any contract crosses must prove irregularities in its deals with gazprom the european subsidiaries and that seems unlikely nobody really believes that that you has a strong case for proving their point we see this more as a measure to freeze pressure and gazprom in russia the e.u. says it wants cheaper gas and more players on the market but this strategy may have one crucial flaw i'm going they say sell our gas to another company when against a europe that company must make a profit on the deal and that will immediately raise the price. pay analysts say the being influenced by several anti russian hardliners many of whom are upset that missing out on the opportunity to take part in big energy ventures is pushing the baltic nations which the north's three point five policies taking russian gas straight to germany instead of complaining gets exposed so they could have moved on

the world with russia. with the way it is and how russian inertia will undermine their society politically and economically at the moment when it is pursuing a one time national policy that given the problems in the euro zone will leave it regretting it did not pursue a more constructive policy with russia nogueira for example signed a new deal with gazprom which will generate income and contribute to cannot mixed ability emotions that are also running hoya. some european politicians who want to end their reliance on russian gas this point efforts by moscow to diversify routes . governments. seem to think thinkable. all we fortunately. for. war which with no immediate alternative to russian gas stereotypes could only affect the long term solutions between the european

time since the capital was taken in august several were injured in gun battles with gadhafi supporters after an attempt to raise the ousted regime's green flag on a city rooftop over in the town of sirte meanwhile gadhafi loyalists mounted a fierce counterattack forcing back revolution fighters or to try to control take control of the colonel's key stronghold for months now the n.t. says it will only declare full liberation once falls but it's going to journalists understaffed told r.t. that pursuing that goal means ignoring the high court's. 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 in 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 this of all 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 that from a reemergence of a double standard what's happening in libya now is it's going to be a war crime it's a concert is a war crime and i think it has to stop immediately has to be 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 this course of assignment as of investigative journalist talking to me here on out say in the week when we got all our top stories now websites to and a lot more precise if it indeed set out to dot com president obama sends troops into
