am in moscow i'm at treasure good to have you with us here on r t our top story israeli soldier gilad shall lead is to be set free within hours after five years of captivity by hamas he's being freed in exchange for more than one thousand palestinian prisoners the first of which are already leaving israeli jails but not all jewish families in israel are celebrating or he's policy or has been to meet some of them. every day. comes here to a place that looks after israeli soldiers who are known in the country will come from difficult backgrounds the being here is often more of a comfort to him than the youngsters he feels because it brings him and that little bit closer to his son majesty who disappeared one year before gilad shalit was taken hostage we are modern no musharraf serve the ball over and over again the government and the country are not on my mind neither is the media your numbers are absolutely gave to the soviets. there are at the moment seven israeli soldiers

who've been kidnapped or who are missing in action not me son mash it disappeared while hitchhiking to his army base major want to ride was captured twenty five years ago off his aircraft was shot down of eleven on these of the last pictures of him alive taken in a prison in iran guy have it disappeared fourteen years ago he was last seen at his army base one kilometer from the syrian border. it's an eerie it's an example that after fourteen years the government still has nothing to tell us our demand is that the government bring us any information is alive or dead here in lebanon and syria just bring it others us with they've brought us nothing new so we know certain her son is still alive and while she's pleased to get out is coming home she's disillusioned a new government that made it possible for him but not for her son. so they've met her it's about media attention p.r. how do i it's nearly succeeded in marketing their son we saw it as

a family this wasn't roosevelt we thought it was enough the guy was an i.d.f. soldier in uniform but we were wrong very very wrong. i am spics a guy with a bone to freedom foundation is trying to get said white it offers ten million dollars for information leading to missing soldiers the phone and lead is unique in the sense that his. whereabouts were no shot from the start it was clear he was alive we treat the other cases as if the soldiers are still alive but there are many question marks as to their feet we just don't believe. the majority of israelis support the deal more than a thousand prisoners for one soldier this is a country that depends on its army for its survival is an unwritten code that every soldier who goes to war must be ported back home that's what the hard things of the free gilad shalit campaign twenty two years he's putting his family and supporters

camped out here in front of the prime minister's office every morning when the time he often left his home he was reminded about the soldier who could not return to his. i'm not embarrassed to say that the government and the country are not doing enough for my son as we wish and the rest of those are just an action it is important for us to bring our soldiers home parents who send their sons to war we need to know that the country will do everything possible to get them back the org it's done just that in the case of gilad shalit but at what cost will militants now be empowered to kidnap another israeli soldier and will israel be willing to pay this price again. jerusalem. turning to the us new york police officers are being investigated over allegations they used excessive force against occupy wall street protesters and is this videotape last friday that gave grounds to one of their inquiries the officer thought to be a deputy inspector was filmed apparently grabbing an activist from behind and

punching him in the face so hard that he fell to the ground an independent agency that deals with complaints against new york police says it's also looking into an officer using pepper spray on a peaceful female protester anti-corporate campaign is going on for more than a month now as our teams lucy caffein off reports despite police handling and the continuing arrests the number of demonstrators who is growing. one here in zuccotti park liberty plaza that has been dubbed by the occupy wall street protest movement here in new york city this was the scene of thousands of demonstrators who had converged over the weekend to show their support for what they called an international day of rage that's all occupations and demonstrations spread not only across the united states but across the world thousands have converged in times square where they were peacefully demonstrating only to be met with an unprecedented show force by the new york city police department approximately ninety protesters were arrested for partaking in those demonstrations we also saw

instances the police officers on horseback riding into the crowd police officers on scooters injuring several protesters who had gathered peacefully as the demonstrations prolife off the country it does appear that the police response is growing in force as well on monday morning we saw in seattle a total of about nine protesters arrested after about two hundred fifty of them refused to take down their tents in the occupation there over the weekend we also saw the arrests of more than one hundred protesters in arizona in two separate occupy wall street demonstrations and in chicago as well were thousands had gathered to demonstrate their support for what they call a movement against the proceeds corruption. in washington and wall street about one hundred seventy five demonstrators are wrapped up there as well despite the fact that it's a weekday despite the fact that at folks out of work to go to that movement does seem to be spreading whether or not it's going to have any effect on the political and economic system in the united states remains to be seed but the numbers

continue to grow for our team i'm lucy kaplan of in new york well the wall street wave sweeps us over banks bursting profits is a threat of going going bust that's occupying greeks thoughts right now believe it or not their parliaments considering even more austerity despite workers already putting the country on a standstill saying cuts are no cure report more on that coming up. but first serbs in northern kosovo have now been given until tuesday to dismantle their border barricades even though their move could cause trouble to flare at any moment they were built in protest against attempts by kosovan police and assistance with nato e.u. forces to take over border crossings with serbia peacekeepers have ordered access roads to be clear where they will do it themselves but as artie's murray if the notion of reports the serbs own demands are set in stone. stones and sand are the only weapons the serbs leaving cos they have in their arsenal to make the others

least into them. the roadblocks they set up throughout the northern part of the region are making headlines and getting feedback morning but we ask you not to participate in me or threaten your safety or me of negative consequences for us and for your country bastards who are talking about us well the only negative force present here local resident by two ways written in the flats k. four and eighteen that international peacekeeping force in kosovo has been sprayed in here recently look at their propaganda buy a new don't want them here don't like you fired we don't want to talk to them he's the mayor of the northern coast of a town of lapis of which is talking to kay for round two has been among the four delegates from serbs to negotiate with the peacekeepers on the dates and terms of the barricades for movable k. four has announced a monday deadline but than postpone it to tuesday the serbs have claimed they need

even more time. initially designed to prevent possible custom officers from reaching the checkpoints at the northern border with serbia rubble on the roads have made trouble in many case for complaint they have access to their troops in the north they're using helicopters to transport supplies and soldiers and the serbs themselves suffering to. those days ago a forested where they struck always lived the ground here is still freshly dug the serbs are building near roads and tentative roads to reach serbia from cos of zero as the main roads have been blocked with their barricades in the last several weeks the only are the alternatives a train but a trans only once a day and always packed so it doesn't really count this is why new bypass roads appear with phenomenal speed we've seen at least seven of them are still here already but i just i just. need

a lot of reason why. volunteers here his one of the costs of and serves as speaks for all of them serving the spirit there were also was something completely different working there but i also feel that we're returning to the barricades in the evening people are still there all of them have their usual jobs teachers engineers miners but here they call themselves soldiers and years of war rhetoric. this is our land we will not surrender that's for truth the future for our children and motherland that. they say one man can't we know one of us that together people metaphor and real force like that because even if they are weapons i just and sound . refreshing are two course of a political analyst alexander package from belgrade thinks of k.

four troops dismantled barricades that would contradict its stated peacekeeping mission. 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 place haven't and so i think the ball is in the court of the case for there to enforce the peace and that's all but people for since the end of july has actually been undertaking to out help the albanians so round out their own sovereign state against un resolution twelve forty four this is why they need freedom of movement actually assist because of all ban ians in the building their illegal state 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 and i think the important thing is to that we can see that coup is actually using force for no reason at all and if the case for moves there they'll be the ones using force to

cross or serbs of that explicitly said that they would not use force and if there barriers are removed they would just put up new ones but they were all do it peacefully so it's really public opinion is the last i guess defense of the peaceful demonstrators in northern coastal. dot com tell us who you think is to blame for the resurgent pressure in kosovo here's how opinion is divided this hour two thirds of respondents think it's washington pushing coast of our independence a fairly even split between whether belgrade is to blame for not protecting kosovo serbs or whether to hold it against the e.u. for failing to uphold the law and about six percent blame christina for escalating the conflict and allowing persecution of serbs tells what you think is the root cause by heading over to our tea dot com and casting your vote on our home page. vladimir putin's decision to run for the presidency next year has dominated news in a russia for almost a month now and his first big interview since confirming he'll stand the prime minister said having the backing of the current president and the ruling party
