board of barricades after a demand by nato but protesters vow to stand firm. be watching out for moscow with me kevin zero in our top story eight pm for you it's been hailed as an historic middle east's a prisoner exchange for the first group from a total of over a thousand palestinians being swapped for just one israeli soldier gilad shalit who's become a celebrated cause in his home that has now been returned to israel after being held for five years by a max a prisoner exchange has been greeted by thousands of the streets on both sides of his polis lee is following the story from israel. that's close the first phase of this prisoner exchange some four hundred and seventy seven prisoners has been transferred to gaza and the west bank they have been welcomed by families and by

her masters political leadership there they were given a hero's welcome but it doesn't complete the kind of questions that are people are now beginning to ask in one of those questions is why has so much international media attention been put on the story of one soldier being released with some people suggesting that it is the well tuned israeli propaganda machine next manages to see this happen and they was a bun incident at their between your checkpoint where the families who had been waiting for their loved ones to come were told that the last moment that they would not be crossing through there they were so angry they started throwing stones at the israeli soldiers they responded with tear gas and water cannons but we don't have any reports of injuries at this stage there is also some anger among those prisoners who do not come from gaza who come from east to resell them and that was dank and we've been told that they cannot return to their hometowns they say that forcing them to go now and live in gaza is filling in for one person and israeli jail to another person in gaza among those who are being freed are people who were

imprisoned without trial we caught up with a ukrainian woman who has been in jail for the last nine years and we understand that she was imprisoned because her husband was charged with terrorism we spoke with her mother. it's a miracle that these two countries reached an agreement and i'm very happy that my daughter is among the first ones to be freed see how many years irina spent here it was twelve years nine of them in prison i think her love only got stronger i'm sure she's looking forward to meeting us and knows that we love her there we're hoping for the best. here at the air force bases where the prime minister and defense minister have given addresses that both stated that they were sorry that not more israeli missing soldiers have been brought home and if they. hearts are with these missing soldiers indeed this is not the only criticism that is being leveled at this present exchange deal with the families of the people who were killed by some

of the prisoners have now been released did the titian the jerusalem high court yesterday they lost that position they say that every worry that this kind of person exchange not only comes at such a high price but also sets a precedent where palestinians in the future will look at the advantages of kidnapping an israeli soldier when the price to be paid is so high there is also criticism being leveled by families of the missing soldiers they say that the israeli government has done little to nothing to try and bring their boys home certainly not done anything to the extent that it has done in the case of gilad shalit. every day he comes here to a place that looks after israeli soldiers who are alone in the country who come from difficult backgrounds of being here is often more of a comfort to him than the youngsters he hopes because it brings him and that little bit closer to his son majesty who disappeared one year before gilad shalit was taken hostage. i have subbed over and over again the government can become chairman

. and there is the. option of traditional family like there are at the moment seven israeli soldiers who've been kidnapped or who missing in action now this new son magically disappeared while hitchhiking to his army base major one of our it was captured twenty five years ago after as a craft was shot down of eleven on these of 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 not acceptable that after fourteen years the government still has nothing to tell us our demand is that the government bring us any information alive said here in lebanon and syria just. but they've brought us nothing. we just solution whose time is still alive and while she's pleased to be alert is coming home she's disillusioned in

a government that made it possible for him but not for her son. in that. 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 growl as we thought it was another guy was an i.d.f. soldier in uniform but we were wrong very very wrong. and. 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 ported back home that's when the heartbeat of the free gilad shalit campaign for nearly two years his brain is barely in the field to come out here in front of the prime minister's office every morning when the time we are left his home he was reminded about the soldier who could not return to his beloved i'm not embarrassed to say that the government and the country are now doing and after my son and the rest of those missing in action it

is important for us to bring our soldiers home as spiritual sanderson's to war we need to know all the country will do everything possible to get them back or it's done just that in the case of gilad shalit but 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. . or a political analyst for the eleazar university in gaza told us there's been too much international focus on one israeli soldier rather than the thousands of palestinian prisoners in israel. the international community as well as these were in a media was very busy over the past five years bringing the issue of the israeli soldier gilad shalit to the attention of the of the world community all the time but it hasn't been said much about the palestinian prisoners even though the palestinian authority and the palestinian resistance to groups have tried all the time to bring

the initial palestinian prisoners to the attention of the world community and many international conferences many press conferences have been held over the past years to bring this issue to the attention of the world community but unfortunately this israeli media and supporters of israel all over the world were much stronger in bringing the issue of gilad shalit more than bringing the issue of more than seven thousand palestinian prisoners who were some of them have been held for decades inside israeli jails and prisons for the prisoner exchange stories of course the big story of the day we'd like to know very much what you think about it we're asking on our web site r t v dot com for your opinions on what you think the prisoner exchange will mean for attempts to bring peace and a political settlement to the middle east is what telling us tonight is to live that passive falls the majority of you think it's just an overhyped media event which is unlikely to change anything forty seven percent is out i think there

around a third if you believe the deal was a good winning more public support for israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu fourteen percent the saudis say it heals and undisputed victory for a mass and a blow do israel and the rest we hope the exchange will become a step towards peace in the middle east join the debate at r.t. dot com. your police officers may be given a sharp rap over the knuckles for allegedly heavy handed tactics against occupy wall street protesters and it's this video series screens now that led to one of the inquiries the officers who. the deputy inspector was filmed grabbing an activist from behind punching in the face you can see there rocking into the ground an independent agency that deals with complaints against new york's police says it's also looking into an officer using pepper spray on peaceful female protesters and the campaign against big business and banking in the u.s. has entered its fifth week and as are the lucy catherine of reports the movement is
