israel and gaza and we expect that he will be handed over from the egyptian authorities to the israeli army now that's complete 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 west bank the majority of israelis do support israel but some of the families of missing israeli soldiers they say that the government has simply not done enough to bring the very boys home in a way that it did for the large eliot let's take a look. if we day. comes here to a place that looks after israeli soldiers who are alone in the country or who come from difficult backgrounds have been here is often more of a comfort to him than the youngsters he hopes because it brings him that little bit closer to his son magically disappeared one year before gilad shalit was taken hostage we are modern or might have some of the school room the government in the country are now doing a man from mars commuters the media has the option of gave the show your family

there are at the moment seven israeli soldiers who've been kidnapped or who are missing in action now it's nice and magically disappeared while hitchhiking to his army base major one of wide was captured twenty five years ago after his craft was shot down of eleven on these of the last pictures of him alive taken in a prison in iran and guy 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 is alive here in lebanon and syria just bring it up just like they've brought us nothing. so. and her son is still alive and well she's pleased gilad is coming home she's just allusion to a new 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 prayer was that we thought it was enough the guy was an i.d.f. soldier in uniform but we were wrong very very wrong. it's a guy with a bunch of freedom foundation is trying to get it right it offers ten million dollars for information leading to missing soldiers there for them actually it is unique in the sense that his whereabouts were no shot from the start it was clear he was alive and 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 know. the majority of israelis support specialist 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 taught. this will be hard because of the free gilad

shalit campaign for nearly two years his way and his family and so forth to the town here in front of the prime minister's office every morning when a timely article if his home he was reminded about the soldier who could not return to his beloved by usually be i'm not embarrassed to say 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 got a spiritual sanderson's to war we need to knock down the country will do everything possible to get them back or 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 policy r.t. . the end of elements of the historic prisoner swap you can also follow her updates with twitter it's at paula's sleeper underscore r t where you can find all her updates director for them 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 and this videotape last friday getting close to one of those inquiries the officer thought to be a deputy inspector was filled with grabbing an activist from the high punching him in the face so hard he fell to the ground an 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 yes i corporate campaign has been going on for more than a month now as our crews who seek out a number of courts despite the police handling and the continued arrests the number of demonstrators is growing. going on here in zuccotti park liberty plaza and that has been dubbed by the occupy wall street protest movement here in new york city this is 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 a proper 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 poured 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 at the demonstrations pro across 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 and 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 in chicago as well over ballots and had gathered to demonstrate their support for what they call

a movement against the perceived 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 the folks out 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 seen but the numbers continue to grow for our t.v. i'm lucy captain of new york all the wall street wave sweeps the u.s. over banks bursting profits is the threat of going bust occupying rethought 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 on that soon. laser on business markets choose these trade in the red with the obvious that my six point eight percent extending losses from monday as the china reports the first quarter g.d.p.

growth figures slightly weaker than expected more in the markets that latest business. but first serves the northern coast of i have been given till tuesday to dismantle their border barricades even though there are move all could cause trouble to flare at any moment they were built in protest against attempts by kosovo police and assistance with nato when you forces to take over border crossings with serbia peacekeepers have border to access roads to be cleared or they'll do it themselves as an ocean reports the serbs own demands seem set in stone. stones and sand are the only weapons the serbs leaving cultivate have in their arsenal to make these lease into them. the roadblocks they set up throughout the northern part of the region are making headlines and getting feedback morning but we ask him not to produce a period. of negative consequences for us and for. talking about us well the only negative force present here local residents like chili's

written in the flat k four and eighteen that international peacekeeping force in kosovo has been spreading here recently you could do propaganda by one of them here it was like a bird we didn't want to talk to. the mayor of the northern coast of a town of leprosy which he's talking to a k four plant who has been among the four delegates from serbs to negotiate with the peacekeepers on dates and terms of the barricades removal case for has announced a monday deadline but then postpone it to tuesday it serves have claimed they needed more time. initially designed to prevent possible custom officers from reaching the checkpoints at the northern border with serbia rubble the roads have made trouble for many key for complaining have access to their troops in the north they are using helicopters to transport supplies and soldiers and the serbs

themselves suffering to. this there is a go for a story where they struck the ground here is still freshly dug the serbs are building roads are turning to produce to reach serbia from cost of zero as the main roads have been blocked with their barricades in the last several weeks the only other alternative a train but a trans only once a day and always act so it doesn't really count this is why new bypass roads of here within nominal speed we've seen at least seven of them. carol really i. just i just i need a lot of reason. volunteers here has one of the casa conserves and speaks for all of them to be there this is. good but also. we're returning to the barricades in the evening people are still

there all of them have their usual jobs teachers engineers and iras. but here they call themselves soldiers and use war rhetoric. this is our land we will not surrender. the truth for the future through children and motherland. they say one man can't win a war together people may form a real force but even if they are weapons i just and stand. reflection r.t. cos of our. political analysts alexander pavitra belgrade thinks of troops dismantle barricades and 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 place haven't ended so i think the ball is in the court of the case or they're there to enforce

the peace and that's all but the case for for since the end of july has actually been undertaken to help the albanians the round out there on sovereign state against un resolution pro forty four this is why they need freedom of movement to actually assist because the royal baby is in the building illegal state legal overstepped their mandate if they want doing that they would have absolutely no problem with the serbs anywhere in costs or and i think the important thing is to that we can see that who is actually using force for no reason at all if a case for moves there they'll be the ones using force to close the service of 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 the northern coast of all. but r.t. dot com you can tell us who you think is to blame for the resurgent pressure in

kosovo here's how the opinion stacks up this hour two thirds of respondents are sure it's washington that's pushing the course of our independence and there'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 about seventy percent blame prishtina for escalating the conflict and allowing persecution of serbs what do you think click on r.t. that column and cast your vote. a lot in your putin's decision to run for the presidency next year has dominated news in russia for almost a month is first big interview since confirming he'll stand as a candidate the prime minister said having the backing of the current president and the ruling party does not mean election is a foregone conclusion. as regards my return nothing is decided until the people have voted but there are people who criticize mean to me to be made beautiful 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 was an ordinary citizen always has a choice to make so our critics might see their own way but in this case they ought to present their platform and what's more important to me and not only to present as you would also to prove in practice that they can do these jobs better there is another important aspect here the most active part of the political spectrum people who talk about democratic institutions their concerns the democratic processes maybe rules back this is definitely not going to happen. well bring you more key moments and vladimir putin's interview to russia's top t.v. channels in the next hour here are to. tell you the states is applying a 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 crimes but asia times correspondent pepe escobar thinks the u.s. agenda in africa already goes beyond protecting civilians. sure stovall this is an
