a hundred and seventy five demonstrators arrested there as well despite the fact that it's a weekday despite the fact that at folks out of work to go to the 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 seen but the numbers continue to grow for our team i'm lucy kaplan of in new york well the wall street waves. leaves the u.s. over banks bursting profits is the threat of going bust that's occupying greek thoughts right now believe it or not their parliaments considering even more austerity despite workers already putting the country on stand still saying the cuts are no cure your report more on that soon. but first serbs in northern kosovo have now been given till tuesday to take down their border barricades even though their removal could lead to trouble to flare at any moment they were built in protest against attempts by kosovo police in assistance with nato e.u. forces to take over border crossings with serbia peacekeepers have ordered access

roads to be cleared or they'll do it themselves but authorities murray if an ocean reports the serbs own demands are set in stone. stones and sand are the only weapons they seriously even even close to they have in their arsenal to make these leeson to 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. or threaten your safety or me or 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 buy it if we don't want to talk to them he's the mayor of the northern coast of a town of leftists of h. is talking to kay for round two has been among the fault like it's from serbs to

negotiate with the peacekeepers on the dates and terms of the barricades for movie k. for has announced a monday deadline but than postpone it to tuesday the serbs have claimed they need even more time. initially designed to prevent kosovan custom officers from reaching the checkpoints at the northern border with serbia rubble on the roads have made trouble for many k. four complained they had no access to their troops in the north they're using helicopters to transport supplies and soldiers and the serbs themselves suffering to. does days ago a forest area where they struck now is luke the ground here is still fresh and dug the serbs are building near roads and tentative roads to reach serbia from kossovo 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 in 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 has one of the costs of one serves and speaks for all of them serving the spirit there were also was something i believe we did i worked there but i also was not there but we're returning to the barricades in the movement people are still there all of them have their usual jobs teachers engineers. but here they call themselves soldiers and years war rhetoric and. this is our land we will not surrender that's for truth the future for our children and motherland ship that we should talk with. they say one man can't we know one of us that together people my former real forsaken even if their weapons i just tons

and sound the. course of a. belgrade based political analyst alexander package thinks if k. for troops dismantled barricades it 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 they're there to enforce the peace and that's all but people for since the end of july has actually been undertaking to help the albanians so round out their own sovereign state against un resolution pro forty four this is why they need freedom of movement to actually assist the close of all baby ins in the building 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 kosovo and i think the important thing is to that we can see that who is actually using force for no reason at all and if the case for moves there they'll be the ones using force to close the service of that explicitly said that they would not use force and if there are 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 at r.t. dot com you can tell us who you think is to blame for the resurgent pressure on kosovo here's how opinion stacked up this hour two thirds of respondents think it's washington pushing kosovar independence it's 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 seven per cent think to blame christina for escalating the conflict and allowing the persecution of serbs what do you think click on r.t. dot com and have your say. a lot of your putin's decision to run for the presidency

next year has dominated news in russia for nearly a month and his first big interview since confirming he'll be a candidate the prime minister said that having the backing of the current president and the ruling party doesn't mean the election is forgotten. as regards my return nothing is decided until the people have voted but there are people who criticize me and to me to the media for more they say that if your humble servant takes part in the election that would mean there would be no election at all perhaps that would be the case for them as it would an ordinary citizen always has a choice to make so our critics might see is the only way but in this case the will to present their platform and want it more important to me not only to present it would also to prove in practice that they can do this john that matters there is another important aspect here the most active part of the political spectrum people who talk about democratic institutions they are concerned the democratic processes may be ruled back this is definitely not going to happen.

bring you more key moments in vladimir putin's interview to russia's top t.v. channels in the next hour here are. the united states is deploying one hundred special operations troops to uganda it's to help fight against the lord's resistance army guerrilla group which has terrorized the country and other parts of central africa for decades its leader is wanted for war time for war crimes but asia times correspondent pepe escobar says the u.s. agenda in africa already goes beyond protecting civilians. first of all this is an exchange of gifts president obama is giving a gift to the dictator ople gunned down while seventy was being apart for twenty five to twenty six years and he's as responsible of human rights and freedom and any effect at tax on civilians and murders of acts and civilians as joseph cohen and so obama's senate is one hundred u.s. special forces bill that's advisers so remember vietnam in one nine hundred sixty

one sixty two it started with a bunch of advisers going to be about and we know what history taught us later this is a civil war and it's and that make war once again the u.s. is right stepping right into the middle of a net war that's been going on for over two decades but the bigger picture is even more impressive because this is not about again they sell and even obama at made it on the record already that these advisers are going to south sudan and the democratic republic of congo as well so when you look at that area in central africa and you see the amount of oil and the amount of mina riches at play and when we see that china is making mean a role in this area and when we look at the africans agenda which is to combat china commercially viable military is ation of africa then you understand these one hundred the beginning of may me they'll be going to go the soup. let's see what's
