for mostly watching r t international a very good afternoon to you it's now three pm here my name's kevin now in our top story nato led peacekeepers have reportedly fired tear gas and protesters near a disputed border in northern kosovo today and beginning to remove barricades set up by ethnic serbs after the failed to do so themselves. on the port of course of a forest area good day again we had a few sound problems last time a bit more successful you're on the ground there how would you gauge the atmosphere could you see more violence today. it's quite dramatic there where we had. a full soldier's night tonight peacekeeping force here in tulsa but i'm to post a good stroke to. the wrong and i can see right now it's nice one hundred soldiers

all who can fly and are now on. the streets resistance from time to time the peacekeepers are using was. called in on the crowd to disperse people have come here to. pay for soldiers. hate what they see as an attempt by date i think it's a christian. holiday situation holsworth. been here. to see the heartland recognizing prosperous independent. serbs are not ready to surrender not ready to get out of here they are ready to take. on as they needed to that's why tension the very high as it is. all the time we heard these reports earlier on of to be used against the serbs who live in

the there if you bring into the more details on that. a while when peace can produce models to carry the trash into. the why if. so. will be used and sometimes probably i repeat do you think not actually. something like this take out same type of human being has. pushed me on. how much people say for coming on i think just to fly people and she can away from comment from the sea having. specifically about these barricades is the whole point of this standoff with the globe and is there any signs of starting to be removed. absolutely not the

barricades are still there where this thing for the last two months. we are talking about five tribes. tale here and it serves. to remove any time if only there. will be fighting for. can you gauge how much extra night has to fall in with the rules to deal with all this and how armed is the deployment. and i can see the right least one around so close around one hundred soldiers so he or they would trust me. all. you know who. some of them carry. can. come here on

the. lead. they read and hear each convoy just around the corner. i cannot tell you. the questioner is here. saying about the barricades will they remove them or at the end of the day we will fight to keep them to the very end. to the very good main message from the conference are. officers and police officers who are currently working to protect. serbia. contracted night. should leave. in the streets and only after that last. message. we can see. right here from time to

time. from. holding time to remain peaceful and to remain calm and they will fight ready to fight to be armed. groups to most of the northern coast of the border thanks so much for your updating us as well on twitter just reminding of use they keep abreast of all the latest on twitter as well as the normally the t.v. of this ongoing situation on the border that was on its own last fall and so leads you to democracy and cooperation he told a colleague in a shot of all of the nato movements firing up the conflict. earth fact is that nato will pay for is not behaving as a peacekeeping force on the contrary they are even knighting a conflict they are reigniting a conflict which has been quiet now for more than ten years they are exacerbating the feelings on both sides when instead what they should be doing is to allow the situation to calm down in other words nato and paid for and the western powers who

control these troops are doing what they have done throughout the entire history of the breakup of yugoslavia which began now a very long time ago in one thousand nine hundred one but this has been going on for decades they are granting the rights to certain populations to cede from the overall unit but denying it to others what's happening today. is a direct result of this ridiculous idea that costco is an independent state or that it can be an independent state that keith thought and you lex in other words the european union operatives which. now run cost of illegally by the way because only the united nations has authority and cops are both there determined to push this a lawsuit through not with logical conclusion and i'm afraid it's a very bad sign it's bodes very ill for those serbs who are only not little north products. the big story we're keeping an eye on today greece's forty eight hour

holdouts in the colonel's hometown with reports saying today that has now fallen these are the latest live pictures from sirte a lot quieter now just about an hour ago we saw what looked to be like jubilant gunfire from the movie a transitional government soldiers it looked to be the bearer pretty sure that the town and for them to where libya's former rebels celebrating earlier on regarding the taking the city is of course at last symbolic step to victory over gadhafi also reports to from one arabic channels something you see fighters say that kentucky could be in sirte will try and follow that up for you the libyan troops are searching the homes and buildings looking for the colonel's loyalists as well they've already captured sixteen of his fighters along with ammunition and trucks loaded with weapons and cities been besieged for weeks of course with thousands of civilians trapped in the crossfire we heard from witnesses just from the last mile of the program international relations professor mark colvin told me the victory

could be just the end of the beginning though for both libya's government and from nato. well it may be the beginning here but probably had persevered to the beginning. the rivers have now taken control of who will the coastline it was people live with their own big sways of their feet deep into the snow into the desert which is not a good control of course they certainly don't go over them for his lead and sometimes the spirit of the control and so the risk of speed fall brutal. transitional council government in tripoli to cope with the free stuff is a new strategy as he's recognized that it can't fight head on against nature or how fast the rebels are on the ground and so on he will lead her search and have given up the most to do it maybe this is absolutely support but maybe it's was a change in strategy that he wants to stop the insurgency which up with joe bruno the prime minister the interim government has admitted is it was

a political major media find it's all drawn deeper and deeper into the desert less comfortable for its court this sort of court there is the potential for home systems does us a rest some transformation because we can start to take space so there who fills it with you system the wrists on that will be infighting amongst different groups and will salute a continued insurgency by those who say we're going to go free for what is true even those who hated gadhafi may not feel look there with each other and in fact i think we're still full of gadhafi if you scripture far from in trouble it could spoke to new conflicts where those who came together because they feared of it coming back full force they will beat. press mark i would be more with search simply now taken we want to know what you think about this story what do you think's going to happen in libya next it's the woman telling us on our home page r.t. dot com we're reading a vote if they so far more than half of you tell us that libya you think will be

carved up by nato countries for its oil riches but sixteen percent of this believe it will herald the start of the country. democratic new future and the remaining votes split about fifty percent each between a painful prospect for libya and the country descending into further chaos with no job voice no it's good to hear from you at r.t. dot com. those live pictures you're seeing there from said are also on our web site as well if you want to see more log on to our latest from the ground in libya here's some of the other stories we've got lined up for you as well online today a safari shoot in a small town hall in ohio you hear me right this made all the headlines around fifty lions cheaters and tigers killed by police after let loose out of the streets to tell you more on life in touch that story from the last things alight on hooligans in russia's big problem this trying to blind pilots of those laser pens as they try to land their planes full of course of passengers what now they'll be facing ten years in jail as a clown but details that are t.

dot com. it's a class war brewing in the united states that's the stark warning from the occupy wall street movement it's into his fifth week and shows no sign of giving up for them the yawning gap between rich and poor is getting far too wide and that could cost the government dearly as artie's garniture can explain. a class war seemed impossible in a country worth being both east part of the national green but it sounds march on wall street and in other parts of america protesting against the system that they claim works only for the benefit of a few super rich individuals and corporations many ask whether america is facing a class war that at a time when the rich are getting richer all the middle class is class a class war is being waged in america today unfortunately the wrong side is winning the so-called one percent of winners are the nation's top corporations

which this year the economy is very slow growth has non the less made record profits but thanks to various loopholes many of these corporations pay little or nothing in taxes the corporations say they need the tax breaks to be able to invest more and to hire more america's second largest energy producers chevron is now lobbying not to let the government cracks them more and to my question how many americans has chevron hired since the tax breaks were introduced in two thousand and four the c.e.o. of the company said they were up slightly a few thousand in our strong business over the years but not significantly not significant on our chevron payroll a few thousand jobs for the billions of dollars in tax stimulus that the government gave the economy same erika's largest corporations are sitting on more than three trillion dollars and not investing in the economy unemployment in the us remains over nine percent where we live in a nation where corporations could profit off

a child dying at the same time with their parents in a bankruptcy could their trying to pay for these kids medical bills. what does that say about our country the wall street answer to people's rage if you kill all three will be nobody held a job but as one of the protesters try to put a word of objection call an old on old. it's not your job mike you talk to these people hold on i'm not talking to you you'll be my. personal success and money have always been part of the american dream. the aspiration to become rich is deeply ingrained in american society and widely promoted by pop culture but those who took to the streets have made it clear that the situation when the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer is not their idea of the american dream in fact it could be the end of it and the beginning of a class war i'm going to check our reporting from washington our king. if you only

had to clear this year is one of remembrance for the country's holocaust victims but that doesn't include focusing on the brutality of the people in jewett under the nazis and those artes reports next it's trying to sue the survivors instead. who wants to be known as a nation of of killers with reigning in is the only language which is even a special word core the noun called the shooters of jewels and in world war two though shooters wiped out ninety six percent of lithuanian jewelry among the highest rates in europe but despite heavy pressure the country's gotta wait without punishing a single person responsible they didn't fund because you don't want to fund you they would've won five but they were very reasonable for those of melamed found a lot eleven years ago he published the names of thousands of lithuanians implicated in the killing of jews at the time he sent the list to the lithuanian or

forty's asking them to investigate as many witnesses were still alive but prosecutors have only now unset him and they want him to come to lithuania agreeing as we do not consider mr melamine a suspect or only summon him to give testimony to either confirm or deny the statements he made statements among others a detail in lithuania and court victories of the car course where literally to capitated a rabbi and put his head on a window so everyone could see a man called let's go who reportedly imprisoned some sixty jews in a gamma beaten with quo bars and forced fire hoses down the throats water was then turned on so they stomachs exploded all of this captured by german photographers the source of the claims i witness is who survived the war very competent. in their help and reg. there were probably needed. this is not the first time lithuanian prosecutors have summoned holocaust survivors

who also took part in the resistance to give testimony critics complain it's a way for us to avoid dealing with its holocaust history this is a campaign of defamation against holocaust survivors who are alive because they escaped the ghetto to join the soviet partisans the only people fighting in this part of the world it's part of a campaign to revise history in the direction of double genocide the very far right model that passage that communism and nazism are equal lithuania officially recognizes the crimes committed by the soviet union and nazi regimes are equal and other european states to do the same for nazi crimes. there were some crimes for whatever we have a story in comparatively worse they were killers like. they were trying to

wipe out a whole people and so instead of focusing on an eighty six year old holocaust survivor many say lithuanian authorities should rather at least be opening an investigation and dozen of them it says he's willing to participate in an investigation for the reasons he believes and believe radians trying to run from one if they really are going through we. will bring you everything will be. and in the long run that seems the last thing the country would want policia r.t. television. people are going kaka heading for higher ground as flooding threats to small parts of the thai capital are becoming out of the problem this is declared a national crisis the disaster is claimed over three hundred lives in saugus and at least a third of the nation's provinces the still water logged homes factories and thousands of acres of farmland of suffered billions of dollars of damage though that figure is expected to rise and have worse more world news from r.t. international a peaceful march for educational reform in chile's capitals ended in
