12:03 pm
government represents the interests of the very few wealthy rather than the ninety nine percent as the demonstrators called insults since last year corporations have been allowed to funnel as much money as they want into political campaigns in the u.s. now new legislation means that they don't even have to disclose the mouse as they spend the new law on political donations to further effectively give the corporations even more influence in washington leaving many americans are wondering whether their voice is being heard now on different ways and means through which the protestors are trying to get their message across here is my report. going to come thanks very much probably got a report coming up next. hour let's go to that report now. thank you it's very discontent nala brief. and graphic
12:04 pm
thousands of americans have resorted to banners and t. shirts to get their message across that a frustration with what they see is the government acting on behalf of big corporations rather than the people message which the protesters say their media have failed to deliver the media feels like these kinds of events don't deserve coverage sometimes all you get when you do something this is a photograph and so it's very important for the message to be seen those simple oftentimes handwritten messages that people carry on their chests and often being subject to mockery what is the sign that occupy wall street broke most of the five hours of the people i would talk of what does that mean. it seems the only fault of these people is presented in the american media is that they don't all have a degree in economics and finances and are not able to explain their grievances in professional economies terms various groups in poland to cheer the end of the
12:05 pm
greatest system known to man and replace it with what who cares let's nap the protests on wall street are mindless and when you ask people who watch street what they want they don't know acts that took place over the last thirty years with regards to national debt within the system generally all of these things are very complicated and difficult for the general public to understand and people in the media and people on wall street light it that way because if you don't understand it then you know you don't get what happened but the american people know that they've got this whole they've lost their jobs they've seen them offshore to china it lost their houses they start going up and home prices that are collapsed and people are saying you know what i know that i've got screwed by all of this but i don't know how or why but americans who took to the streets are looking to express themselves by need. other than motivational peace shirts and banners which as graphic as they are hardly convey the phone message or the movement the
12:06 pm
demonstrators are spreading their own paper now called occupied wall street journal which details with their i'm happy with and makes it clear that they're not rooting for one particular party it also works against political machines and their p.r. slick's taking control of the protest message one word to describe these ongoing protests from the beginning is prostrate on their t. shirts on cardboard on the backs of pizza boxes as we've seen people express that frustration but as the movement grows the ways of getting their message across also mature and people here say this paper is just the beginning i'm going to check our reporting for us. but each account but meantime around two hundred protesters inspired by the occupy wall street movement are refusing to leave the heart of london's financial district for a third day but their fellow campaigners across the atlantic their anger is directed at the city and state cutbacks the square in front of st paul's cathedral

12:08 pm
barricades of the border with serbia they've been told to clear the road roadblocks by early tuesday or face forced removal roof an ocean has been following the border dispute. the clock is ticking for the serbs living in cos of a on tuesday the ultimatum passes for them to remove their very case they erected on the main roads of this serve dominated north protesting against christian as attempt to set up customs in this area and to prevent cost of and police officers and custom officers and officials from reaching the checkpoints at the northern border with serbia which we haven't seen any sign of the removal work so far roadblocks are still there where they've been for the last two months and tensions are boiling as people are getting more and more exhausted and aggressive deadline to take away these barricades as well as others was announced by the cost of zero peacekeeping force known as the k. four on saturday it's come under general truce met with the mayors of four northern
12:09 pm
cost of a towns claiming k. four need these roads as it needs access for its troops in the north it's currently transporting its soldiers and delivering food fuel and water for those of their stations in the gazan part of kosovo by helicopters which is a very expensive means of travel last month some of the barricades poor food resulted in violence peacekeepers used rubber bullets and tear gas against the serbs the circumstances are right now very complicated and what may look peaceful for now could explode at any time. his riff and you can follow her twitter feed as well for the latest developments from kosovo she's been tweeting today about rising anger among serbs at the barricades over the ongoing deadlock as nato forces prepare to enact their plan you follow on twitter feed for updates also on our website as well and give us your thoughts on how you think is to blame for the conflict on kosovo's northern border also our web site you give us your thoughts on
12:10 pm
who you think is to blame for the conflict here is how the votes are stacking up in our home we go take a look it's almost two thirds of you know put the blame on washington for boosting kosovo's independence seventeen percent of you accuse belgrade of not protecting because of twelve percent say that you can't keep things in order six percent of you this impression allows the persecution of service you can add your voice to the graph they could change the balance on the home page at r.t. dot com. to get more insight on the situation in northern kosovo and talk to alexander publisher political analyst from belgrade you're on the line live tonight very good evening alexander thanks for being an r.t. international correspondent says there are no signs of any barricades being moved as of now the locals actually take them down tomorrow do you think. i don't expect i think the serbs have made it clear that they're not going to remove any barricades themselves because the reasons for their being there in the first way is to have a good so i think the ball is in the court of the case for. how much
12:11 pm
are they within their rights case for to make demands of the serbs like this and how does it correspond with their peacekeeping mandate. well really it doesn't you know they're there to enforce the peace and that's all but k. four for since the end of july has actually been undertaking to help the albanians round out their own sovereign state against un resolution twelve forty four so they've overstepped their mandate if they weren't doing that they would have absolutely no problem with the serbs anywhere in course or so that's where the root of the problem actually is one of the roadblocks they say you have presented it just a problem for occasional but is it purely about logistics. well it isn't because before july twenty fifth there was really no reason for pay for it to be in the north everything was peaceful it was only when the albanian sense of their special police forces up north to establish
12:12 pm
a border between the costs of all in serbia the case for decided to assist and this is why they need freedom of movement to actually assist because of all variants in the building their illegal state so it's not about logistics it's about politics as usual great school full of the un security council to help resolve the situation isn't it when the border crossings dispute began back in july why does it appear that the un seems deaf to the serbs position. well the un is only partially deaf it's actually the western powers the nato countries in the security council who are deaf this is the united states france and england. russia and china would actually support. this request from belgrade but. the western countries have a veto power so this is why actually it seems that the un is death when in fact actually they would be just the western. powers are actually supporting this drive
12:13 pm
this illegal drive by the government and prishtina so who can go great to see them to try and sort this out before any more trouble flares up. well really. the greatest trying to keep it all peaceful they can they can try to they can only appeal to individual countries and to are probably worldwide public opinion because everyone is a very resolved in belgrade and in northern cross or to have this resolved in a peaceful way and i think the important thing is to that we can see that who is actually using force for no reason or thought here for a case for moves there they'll be the ones using force the course of the serbs of that explicitly said that they would not use force and if they are barriers are removed they would just put up new ones but they were arguing peacefully since really public opinion is the last i guess defense of the peaceful demonstrators in northern course the one well we watch this story very closely of course thanks ever
12:14 pm
so much for your thoughts on alexander public political analyst joining us from belgrade thank you thank you and later this hour as well r.t. talked to said he is chief negotiator with kosovo he believes the ethnic specifics of the north of kosovo being a special scenario must be implemented to try to resolve the tension there now. right now with krishna did was a one sided attempt to change the reality on the ground which is against all the agreements before and it's against security council resolution for all forty four it's against the mandate if you like so it's again six points point by the bank you move which was supported by security council so what they did is actually to try to wait make a one sided step so waited they can see it's ok to leave now we should accept process. for the serbs who live here in the north because the north has its own reality it's really specific it's exclusive in many ways so people here are ethnically moderate and they are united in their leaning over here serbia and you
12:15 pm
know we did there are differences there are other parts of the so we should have a new fresh attempt to. resolve the situation in those gates and to find agreement how those gates will look like who will actually have a chance to manage those gates and by what rules. syrians are out in protest the arab league decision not to suspend the country from the organization footage released by the opposition shows hundreds on the streets in the southern province of there are probably countries of a cold on the syrian government to start negotiations with the countries opposition it follows a promise from president assad to draft a new constitution in four months and allow a multi-party parliament a key demands of the demonstrators result he says are still ahead and damascus for us to sell that will be enough.
12:16 pm
calls for a change in the forms seven months in. one of those calls is to create a real through this equivocal system since nine hundred seventy two politics was only open to parties that acknowledge the supreme role of the ruling baath party and joy it is called action and all this for bashar al assad issued a decree passing the multi-party law. for a czar assad al-deen this is the moment he has been waiting for the chance to add a new voice to syrian politics. we're applying to become a political party so we can be more effective we can influence parliament access and help create laws defend our stand as the new law allows parties that are open to all syrians regardless of ethnicity and religion and are not affiliated with organizations outside of syria but the newly formed internal opposition the national coordinator council or s.c.c. will not participate it's not about us not wanting to participate it's about them not being serious about these reforms there's no environment for dialogue the
12:17 pm
violence must stop political prisoners must be released even though they passed a multi-party law drew up a new constitution they do all. that under their conditions and in recent deadly clashes in cities like understand and it live the president appointed a committee to draft a new constitution within four months and one sticking point is article eight which states every bath party is the leader of the state and society the opposition argues this undermines the essence of the multiple parties you know some some people in the party leadership have come to the conclusion that article eight around more dangerous articles in the constitution that article are born to be under review we shall have almost a new constitution we're in a new multi-party system would be achieved without any difficulty perhaps change is coming to syria and the street protests and violent clashes have been dragging on for months some vowing they will not stop until bashar assad steps down so is it
12:18 pm
simply too little too late. meetings like this happening on a daily basis from the us and the national development party out there in the fire seems to be out with the process of becoming an official little party here in syria well after a decade of listening to promises of reform they now feel that this could be real a lot resets for us are still here r t damascus syria. libya's revolutionary forces have reportedly taken over bunny were leader who thought and still continuing in the area which is one of the last still loyal to the ousted leader moammar gadhafi and the syrian t.v. station which supports libya's old regime has confirmed the gadhafi youngest son thomas was killed during fighting in august meanwhile funny continues in the colonel's hometown of sirte to see this the last obstacle when we're told he to clear the country liberated him push on the elections given the fact that cross-post person basically told us that there are serious concerns about the
