help hala so where is shall eat now. well this is one of those rare occasions when both israelis and palestinians are celebrating because it's official after five years of captivity the israeli soldier gilad shalit is now in egypt in hands a short time ago he was handed over at an occurrence along the border crossing between israel and gaza and we expect that in the next hour or so he will be handed over from the egyptian authorities to the israeli army now this is something it's the first phase of the prisoner exchange deal already before daybreak some four hundred and seventy seven palestinian prisoners were transferred to two locations one on the gaza border and another inside the respond according to the deal some of those prisoners will not be an ultimate turn into gaza and others will be deported . will be green river between palestinians and israel has word two are mixed reaction among some israelis though why are they and how do you go. while the

majority of israelis do support still but certainly there are many who feel that it creates a precedent it sets the example of what happens if an israeli soldier was kidnapped and these people are afraid that it will encourage further kidnappings just yesterday the jerusalem high court rejected petitions from families of victims of terror these are families who lost loved ones in attacks that were carried out or planned by some of the prisoners who are being released today and what they say is that the majority of people who are released from prison often return to the crimes they perpetrated before it's perhaps this summed up by a father i spoke to he said that there's nothing he can do for his son who was killed in a terror attack but it's through his three remaining children that he needs to worry about also unhappy are some of the families are missing israeli soldiers they say that the government has simply not done enough to bring the big boys home in a way that it did for the large valid let's take a look. if we do

a nice new comes here. to a place that looks after israeli soldiers who are alone in the country who come from difficult backgrounds being here is often more of a comfort to him and the youngsters he hopes because it brings him and that little bit closer to his son magically disappeared one year before gilad shalit was taken hostage. i have sadness over and over again the government and the country are not doing enough from our commuters the media has the option to give additionally family like there are at the moment seven israeli soldiers who've been kidnapped or who are missing in action now as we stand magically disappeared while hitchhiking to his army base major one of our it was captured twenty five years ago after his eight craft was shot down over lebanon these of the last pictures of him alive taken in a prison in iran and i have it disappeared fourteen years ago it was last seen at his army base one kilometer from the syrian border. it's infuriating it's an

acceptable that after fourteen years the government still has nothing to tell us our demand is that the government bring us any information i said here in lebanon and syria just bring it up just like they've brought us nothing. also. certain her son is still alive and while she's pleased to get out is coming home she's disillusioned in a government that made it possible for him but not for her son. it's about media attention p.r. how do lots nearly succeeded in marketing their son we saw it as a family this was a girl was that we thought it was enough the guy was an i.d.f. soldier in uniform but we were wrong very very wrong america. and the born to freedom foundation is trying to get it right it offers ten million dollars for information leading to missing soldiers the former leader is unique in

the sense that his whereabouts were known from the start it was clear he was alive a tribute. case is as if the soldiers are still alive but there are many question marks as to their feet we just don't know. the majority of israelis support a salute to 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 if the soldier who goes to war must be taught. this will be hard because of the free gilad shalit campaign twenty two years his claim is that millions of fans out here in front of the prime minister's office every morning when the time they are lift his home he was reminded about the soldier who could not return to his beloved by usually become an embarrassed to sue the government and the country are not doing enough for my son and the rest of those missing in action it is important for us to bring our soldiers home and spiritual sanderson's to war we need to knock the

country will do everything possible to get them back on org it's done just that in the case of gilad shalit better what cost will militants now be empowered to kidnap and other israeli soldier and will israel be willing to pay this price again policy r.t. . paul is gauging reaction on developments to the historic prisoner swap you can follow her twitter stream which is available at paulus leader underscore r t direct reporting to you from the heart of the story. new york police officers being investigated over allegations they used excessive force against occupy wall street protesters it's this videotape last friday that gave credence to one of the inquiries the officer thought to be a deputy inspector was filmed apparently grabbing an activist from behind punching him in the face so hard he fell and independent agency that deals with complaints against the n.y.p.d. says it's also looking into an officer using pepper spray on apparently peaceful

protesters corporate campaign has been going on for more than a month now he's losing power in our reports this fight the police handling and continuing arrests the number of protesters continues to grow. one here in secret to be part of liberty plaza and that has been dubbed by the occupy wall street protest movement here in new york city and this is the scene of thousands of demonstrators who had been purged over the weekend to show their support for what they called an international day of rage that's occupations and demonstrations spread not only across the united states but across the world thousands like converged in times square where they were peacefully demonstrating only to be met with an unprecedented show course right in new york city police departments 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 at the

demonstrations roll across the country it does appear that the police response is growing in force as well and monday morning we saw in seattle a total of about nine protesters were arrested after about two hundred fifty of them refused to take down their tents and the occupation there over. weekends 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 balanced and had gathered to demonstrate their support for what they call a movement against the perceived corruption in washington and wall street hundred seventy five demonstrators arrested there as well despite the fact that it's a week take that by the fact that folks out work to go to that movement does seem to be spreading whether or not it's going to have any impact on the political and economic system in the united states remains to be seed but the numbers continue to grow for our t.v. i do see capital in new york. while the wall street wave sweeps america over banks

bursting profits the threat of going bust but like i rethought right now we've got their parliaments and more austerity measures just by more of those already putting the country on stand still saying cuts or no your report on that soon. but first serves in northern kosovo have now been given till tuesday to dismantle their border barricades even though their removal could cause trouble to flare at any moment they were built in protest against attempts by kosovo police and the systems with nato when you force is to take over border crossings with serbia peacekeepers have water access to roads to be cleared or they'll do it themselves but authorities in various emotional reports the serbs own demands are certain stories. stones and sounds are the only weapons the serbs leaving even close to they have in their arsenal to make the obviously seem 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 produce a period. of negative consequence for you and for the bastards you're talking about well the only negative force present here local residents of these region in the flat k four and eight and that international peacekeeping force in kosovo has been sprayed in here recently you could do propaganda by one of them here. we want to talk to them. the mayor of the northern coast today town of lapis of h. is talking to kay for example has been among the fall to look at some serbs to negotiate with the peacekeepers on dates and terms of the barricades removal case for has announced a monday deadline but than postpone it to tuesday the serbs have claimed they needed more time. initially designed to prevent a cost of one custom officers from reaching the checkpoints at the northern border with serbia rubble the roads have made trouble for many key for complained they had

no access to their troops in the north bay using helicopters to transport supplies and soldiers and the serbs themselves suffering to. this is a go for a story where they struck the ground here still freshly dug the serbs are building roads turn into froze to reach serbia from cross about as the main roads have been blocked with their barricades in the last several weeks the only other alternative train but the trans only once a day and always act so it doesn't really count this is why new bike has froze up here with a nominal speed we've seen at least seven of them to kill already but. i just i need a lot of reason. volunteers here here's one of the costs of inserts and speaks for all of them. will still. be. there

but. we're returning to the barricades in the evening people are still there after all of them have their usual jobs teachers engineers myers. but here they call themselves soldiers and use war rhetoric. this is our land we will not surrender plans for truth for future growth children and motherland. they say one man can't win a war together people make for a real force even if their weapons i just and sound. refreshing our t. kosovo political analyst alexander pavitra thinks of care for troops or dismantled barricades it could 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 waste haven't ended 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 the case for for some feel of july has actually been undertaken to help the all be. their own sovereign state against un resolution pulled through before this is why the freedom of movement says the close of all baby is in the building the legal status for people overstep their mandate if they want doing that they would have absolutely no problem with the serbs anywhere in kosovo or and i think the important thing is to that we can see that he was actually using force for no reason at all and different case for moves there they'll be the ones using force the postal 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 will all do it peacefully since really public opinion is the last i guess defense of

peaceful demonstrators in northern call someone. who you think is to blame for blame for the resurgent pressure on kosovo here's how the opinion is divided this hour two thirds of respondents think it's washington pushing kosovar dependence that is a fairly even split between whether belgrade is to blame for not protecting kosovo or serbs or whether to hold it against the e.u. or for failing to uphold the law by only seven percent blame pristina for escalating the conflict and allowing persecution of serbs tell us what you think is the root cause by clicking on r t dot com. glad to be a prudent decision to run for the presidency next year has dominated news in 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 doesn't mean the election is a foregone conclusion. because as regards my return nothing is decided until the people have voted but there are people who criticize me and to me to me

beautiful 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 but then you could an ordinary citizen always has a choice to make so our critics might see it their own way but in this case they ought to present their platform and what's more important to me not only to present it but also to prove in practice that they can do these john better 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 process has made the rules back this is definitely not going to happen. or the key moments and what we're putin's interview with russia's top t.v. channels coming your way in fifteen minutes here are. united states deploying one hundred special operations troops to uganda it's to help the fight against the lord's resistance army guerrilla group that's terrorized the country and other parts of central africa for decades now its leader is wanted for war crimes but

asia times correspondent pepe escobar thinks 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 gundogan civilly it will be a car for twenty five to twenty six years and he's as for us all simple. human rights and freedoms and in fact tax on civilians and murders attacks on civilians as joseph colney so obama's seen in these one hundred u.s. special forces billed as advisers so remember vietnam in one nine hundred sixty one sixty two it started with a bunch of advisers going to get out in we know what history taught us later this is a civil war and it said that nick war once again the us is right stepping right into the middle of a net leak ward it's been going on for over two decades with the bigger picture sivan more impressive because this is not about who can they sell and even obama

had made it on the record already that these advisors are going south sudan and the democratic republic of congo as well so when you look at the area in central africa and you see the amount of oil and the amount of mineral riches play in when we see that china is making even 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 to go. but let's check on what's catching the clicks. on this hour well there's plenty going on in the world to bring you down are online humor helped put some satirical perspective on what's going on five war cutting cartoons i don't. think the scars go by any resonance by their having to slug it out with an invasion of large

they do and that's a quite says runs deeper there are now calls for radical we think of the entire same project either we will have euro zone and europe changing direction which will mean what does that mean that means the central back acting like the serious and the bank like the fed or the bank of england actually trying to reduce the recession by using interest rates lending to the country either we will have the governments cooperate on their fiscal policy either we have a new marshall plan to help the economies of the south actually be able to compete with europe or the euro will dissolve it's something the governments have been desperate to avoid rushing to find solutions to the debt crisis to china holds the world economy sinking further into a financial quagmire many of the measures implemented in greece amongst the wage cuts and tax hikes simply said to push the country deeper into debt we are as

a leaders have a think crease in the harsh criticism they continued inability to stem the spiraling to a crisis people be just a greek we will have a collapsing under the weight of its contradictions because think euro will be architecture around the. single currency was created on the assumption that they would be no price if they believe their own rhetoric there is a crisis and they have no policy instruments which is really to be interest. increasingly unpopular greek prime minister has once again called the solidarity pleas of you. coming into a time when the people in the continent never seen safe. i think country continues to find ways to be late in the economy one thing remains clear that the rates recovery is going to be alone and difficult. a.
