serbs in northern kosovo given one more day to remove their roadblocks at the disputed border but locals say they won't give in kosovo police leave. eleven am in moscow i matras are good to have you with us here on r t our top story after five years held captive by hamas israeli soldier gilad shalit is finally free but it's costing israel thousand palestinian prisoners in return the first group has already been transported from israeli jails and expected in the west bank shortly archy's paullus leader has the latest from tel aviv. the israeli soldier gilad shalit is now in egypt in the hands a short time ago he was handed over at the kerem shalom border crossing between israel and gaza and we expect that he will be handed over from the egyptian authorities to the israeli army now this completes 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 this deal but some of the families of missing israeli soldiers they say that the government has simply not done enough to bring a very boys home in the way that it did for the lad shalit let's take a look. every day he comes here to a place that looks after israeli soldiers who are alone in the country who come from difficult backgrounds but being 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 mashpee who disappeared one year before gilad shalit was taken hostage we are modern no much i have said the school over and over again the government and the country are not doing enough for mars do you there is the media you know has the option to give to the show the family there are at the moment

seven israeli soldiers who've been kidnapped or who are missing in action now as my son measure disappeared while hitchhiking to his army base major want to ride was captured twenty five years ago after as a craft was shot down over lebanon these are the last pictures of him alive taken in a prison in iran guy have a disappeared fourteen years ago he 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 informations alive or dead here in lebanon and syria just bring it up the sense that they've brought us nothing new. and 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. given that. it's about media attention b.r.

how do lots nearly succeeded in marketing their son we saw it as a family this was a growl as we thought it was enough the guy was an i.d.f. soldier in uniform but we were wrong very very wrong. picks a guy with a bomb to freedom foundation is trying to get had white it offers ten million dollars for information leading to missing soldiers if one is unique in the sense that his whereabouts were known from the start it was clear he was alive to 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 the shalit 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 brought back home that's what the heart of the free gilad shalit campaign for nearly two years has created family and the police to

come out here in front of the prime minister's office every morning when the time they are left his home he was reminded about the soldier who could not attend to him. i'm not embarrassed to say that 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 parents who send their sons to war we need to not let the country will do everything possible to get them back on org it's done just that in the case of gilad shalit but at what cost will militants now be empowered to kidnap and nothing israeli soldier and will israel be willing to pay this price again policy r.t. jerusalem. gauging reaction. the end of elements on the historic present 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 direct reporting to you from the heart of the story. new york police officers being investigated over allegations they used

undertaking to help the albanians all round out their own sovereign state against un resolution twelve forty four this is why they need freedom of movement to actually assist because of all damien's 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 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 ok for moves there they'll be the ones using force to kosovo serbs have at 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 so it's really public opinion is the last i guess defense of the peaceful demonstrators in northern coastal. at r t dad 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 a 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 seven per cent claim prishtina for escalating the conflict and allowing persecution of the serbs but do you think click on r.t. dot com and cast your vote. a lot here putin's decision to run for the presidency next year has dominated news in russia for almost a month and his 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 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 be mediated from what they say that if you were 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 you can ordinary citizens always have the choice to make so our critics might see
