the point of a gun and so it's kind of hard to you know it's one thing to talk about a legal basis pro forma and it's another to talk about it legal basis the fact though i really don't see it just the case of what's happening in terms of the actual facts on the ground i just see one war that's a third of blatant international aggression by nato in the united states kosovo has been a part of serbia for a long time. and kosovo and serbia did very well together within yugoslavia until tensions were you know stirred up more or less by u.s. intelligence. you can find more on the unstable situation in acosta on our website r.t. dot com and go online to get the latest updates as well as the bad ground to the serbian cause of the conflict can also find a number of stories by our correspondents reporting from the scene all of that at

our team dot com. russia is ready to pull out of the start nuclear arms reduction treaty if the u.s. continues with its plans to deploy missile the fan shield in europe president dmitry medvedev warned that last may move its own offensive missile systems to its borders in response argues that he's now he has more. first his reaction to the active development of plans for this missile defense shield in eastern europe came in the form of an announcement from president it's major where you highlighted five steps that the russian federation would take if the u.s. and nato don't reconsider their plans first of all activated immediately will be early radar warning stations in kaliningrad which is russia's most western enclave the country's nuclear strategic forces will be strengthened significantly pointed out that this needs to happen urgently all the countries of strategic missiles will be fitted with advanced kind of tracing systems and latest generation warheads and

he's also notified the armed forces that a system needs to be developed that could destroy data exchange in the control systems of this planned missile defense shield if these steps are not enough the president pointed out that this would be russia's last resort. just each other measures are insufficient russia will deploy a contemporary strike systems in the west and south east in order to prevent further damage from the u.s. missile systems in europe the system of the deployment of these kind of missile system in the coming that region will be one such step if the situation develops in an unfavorable way russia will reserve the right to she's further steps to meet any additional measures and arms control. next to the link between strategic offensive and defensive weapons yet reasons could emerge the russian strategic arms reduction treaty could focus isn't vision within the content of the treaty again the deployment of those two dziedzic missiles in kaliningrad would be a last resort the president pointed out once again emphasizing that he believes dialogue is the way to go and that cooperation is still possible it's not too late

but promises are just not going to be enough russia needs legally binding agreements from nato and the us that these systems are not meant as a deterrent against that from the past a lot of the same brother rick that russia has been listening to for years again that this system is meant aimed to get. so-called rogue states like iran and north korea that it's not in any way meant against russia that they do believe that russia and the west have separate systems from the representatives from the national security council you heard that cooperation again they praised president made a statement about further cooperation but also pointed out this is very important that they will continue to cooperate but that pursuit of cooperation will in no way be limited or changed or changed the plans for missile defense shield and then from secretary general rasmussen of nato we heard again praise for the top of her for the statement on dialogue and cooperation but he say he's disappointed by president

rate of statement that it's not in the spirit of russia nato ration but again if you look at a map you will see very clearly that nato is rapidly expanding eastwards are on russia's what's eastwards on russia's western border you have the united states and their bases all throughout the middle east and then up russia's eastern seaboard you have bases in japan and south korea to basically russia is being surrounded and it's pretty easy to understand why this is such a major concern for their national security. money for now reporting there well we can now go back to our top story the situation on the serve and cause for border and we here in the troops are reportedly use special equipment to remove concrete barriers there and put up a barbed wire fans to try and restore control while we can across to our correspondent elise he or she has he has been to the area all is he doing bring us up to date of what's happening there with the situation at the border. yes when to

stand out this rather volatile region the northern part of course of the breakaway republic has seen more violence during this night with the when they came for troops trying to dismantle one of the barricades near the uranium block post need a rainy border post the serbs resisted and then the nato contingent had to use tear gas grenades and possibly even rather bullets as some sources say there have been no reports so far of any victims or injured but clearly this is another incident which is heating up this region and we are certainly waiting for whether there will be any more violence between the protesting sides whether the nato troops will use violence against the very getting serbs one more time. when i see what has caused this fresh player of attention in the area. well this has been going on since july this year when the course of albany and decide to impose a trade embargo on the serbs living in northern costa when they set up security

checkpoints at the border crossings the serbs reacted with indignation they blocked these border crossings putting their own main made barricades made of sand as best it was and of course themselves protecting this part not letting anybody to come inside the northern kosovo you voting the nato contingent there have been several cases of clashes already several times people were injured and brought into hospitals tension is clearly very high in this region while i've been there recently and i talked to the serbs there have been telling me that they will not step down they will continue holding their barricades no matter what they are not expecting any help from belgrade who is now trying to negotiate the accession to the e.u. at the same time when to stand out on diplomatic level belgrade has suspended all negotiations with pristina following this conflict in northern kosovo and the situation is rather unexpected the situation can bring to any results nobody knows

where it's going to go next but clearly this is the balkan melting thought and we can expect just about anything to happen in this volatile region any moment right now i think for much indeed for bringing us out today what's happening across from serbian border and here she asked our eastern european correspondent. now thousands of egyptians are continuing to occupy tahrir square after days of unrest amanti the country's military rulers resign immediately protesters have been battling with security forces in the longest outbreak of violence since varies uprising correspond to reports from cairo looking around it certainly seems as if people have chosen to remain here overnight ended in the previous night certainly more people here on the streets and they were at this time yesterday last night saw some of the fiercest street battles still software police firing tear gas rubber bullets and even reports of the live ammunition the number of did is now being pushed at nearly fourteen with the egyptian health ministry saying that some three thousand

two hundred and fifty people have been injured now the human rights watch he has said that there has with out any kind of of contrary evidence lean and live ammunition they say that there have been at least twenty two people who have been killed because of gunshot wounds to behave not later today here in cairo the arab league will be meeting to discuss the league has said that it is ready to post sanctions on the massacres and here critics thought the international community and the regional pointing at double standards on behalf of the arab league they said that the need is quick to respond to what is happening in damascus but here where egypt good is the arab league has been extremely in clock extremely quiet in fact to see very little the same time we're hearing from the presidential hopeful mohamed el baradei he is still mulling over whether or not to form a new government he has been tossed with the option of doing this on the topic of tear gas which is a burning question here in toughness where about ready says that he has some kind

of proof that a nerve agent has been used we are also hearing reports that security forces are using a tear gas that is banned in international circles but we have no independent confirmation of that but certainly the role of the tear gas will be something that will be debated into. not weeks to come because even now as i speak to you there is the heavy off the smell of cigarettes and last night and so people coughing so people throwing up blood we're not hearing reports of at least one doctor who was killed when the logic to get this quiet n.h. to make her first teaching cases here in times square i'm correspond policy reporting from cairo and political analysts in journalist dr amarna shot he says that recent rallies in egypt may lead to other revolts elsewhere in the arab world but egypt is at the heart of the arab world this is the most populated at a country that has a strategic positioning on a geographical level when it comes to geopolitics this is for the really of our

culture and i think this will push other peoples all around the other world actually move from rebelling against these standards of living that does not come to them in the minimum level for protecting them because of the arabs and i think the people on the streets feel humiliated by their governments and they are reacting now but the however i want to differentiate between can defeat the different elements here and there is what the people want and the movements of the people and there are the western interests and they have the interests of the great powers it all these two these two elements mournful disney and in fact it's much the west and i think it's the americans specifically to have a military council government in egypt maintaining the american policy and protect american interests especially when it comes to israel and it doesn't actually suit the western interests when there is

a democratic government in egypt where the egyptians have their say. our correspondent paul as near has been reporting as you know from the heart of the protests since they once again flared up and she's bringing you the latest updates from the scene so you can visit her twitter feed to get all the latest on what's happening in the egyptian capital and while you're online head to our website or to dot com take part in our poll. call for introducing eurobonds to help debt ridden eurozone countries raise capital are growing louder of by the day but also causing friction within the monetary union european commission president jose manuel barroso supports the creation of a new euro bond however germany strongly opposes the idea saying it would lead to a rise in german borrowing costs and pile of dead birds across europe well would you now cross to pittsburgh who is executive director of the investment advisory firm to talk more on this think of us for being here with us in the program mr young now the notion of euro bonds

a strong support from the so-called pigs countries there are comprised of portugal italy greece and spain. it's opposed by germany are and finland so do tell us why is there such a division of opinion on this issue there. both look like all wonderful arguments in this world it ultimately comes down to money the problem is that if you're people like germany or the finns or somebody who's been fiscally responsible over the course of the past twenty years or even fifty years then you know that you're reaping the rewards you can go and borrow money at a very very low interest rate in the case of somewhere like germany even yesterday with the worst bomb dogshit in a generation they were still only paying two and a little bit percent for their for their money now the problem is if you're one of the pigs countries or you're somewhere like greece you can't borrow for any money because ultimately you are essentially no longer a welcome member of the borrower's club and the problem is that the germans see it

as following a euro bond it's basically a case of putting lipstick on the pigs quite literally in every possible sense and of course the other countries who are currently shop part of the borrowing market or have to borrow at very expensive writs want to be part of a club where hopefully they will be able to borrow money and they'll be able to borrow it much much more cheaply than they can get it in their own right as we know the eurozone countries have been in that turbulent period for quite some time now and there hasn't been any sort of unity it would pain as to what to do and how to solve this crisis so do you think there is a solution i mean what needs to be done to break through this what seems to be a vicious circle. oh look it's a total vicious circle you could not get out more right the problem is first of all to go back to what we always keep hammering on of we really need leadership this morning mr burroughs who is trying to push forward this idea of euro bonds amongst others ultimately also germany either has to decide that it wants to be sickly take

away the ball and through a lot of other members out of the euro zone because they view them as not being worthy of being membership or they're going to have to essentially bite their tongue and they're going to have to come forward and do something with the marketplace and in some way find a solution the problem we have is you know you're a bones we were talking about those a year ago fifteen months ago but the difficulty has been all along the lack of political leadership and right knowing there is definitely are pople smell of fear in brussels over what's going on when you're in the euro parliament in the coffee shops the hobbled corners are discussions about whether the euro really is going to survive in any here for reform and hopefully that's going to be a catalyst to see and i critique of leadership and might break of government and we will find a solution whether it's a collective euro bond or some other form of transfer that at least gets the market working again on the laws countries to borrow or is it interesting though how euro

zone countries in economies are interconnected and if there's trouble in one region it certainly may have ripple effects on others and generally may not be an exception for that matter for example of germany has failed to sell more than a third of the stand here bonds issued on wednesday so does this airway suggest that europe's debt crisis is sort of spreading further even to berlin. look at absolutely this crisis is like a pandemic of financial panic because ultimately you have individuals who are managing pension funds for yourself or myself all over the world and when they wake up in the morning and they've got to go and do something with our money for the next five or ten years ultimately their their most important facet right now is to keep that money secure and as i'm sure you can appreciate it nobody really feel you see if in the euro zone and that's why germany must come out and lead because ultimately everybody in the euro zone and indeed many economies outside the euro zone even the united states of america under russia are ultimately going to be

affected by this contagion not necessarily in terms of being able to borrow for government bonds but in terms of the appalling recession that's going to take place unless the euro zone gets its act together and gets the european economy moving properly so that all nations can go room money and therefore service the debt that they have and get on with actually the business of ultimately reflating what is a very very sickly european economy at the moment all right thanks very much indeed for your insight patrick young executive director of the investment advisory firm advisors thanks very much for being here with us on the program sir you're welcome . to other stories now here on our team after colonel gadhafi is a battlefield execution last month there have been hopes his capture and son saif al islam would receive a fair trial why there are growing fears that won't be the case in the hands of lena's new rulers as artie's i'm about reports there are some powerful figures

outside the country who would influence the course of justice. say feliz long get daffy he's a man with a lot to say he's the last chance the world has to know how to get there the regime turned from public enemy number one to prison buddies with britain and the other western powers but the international criminal court in the hague says it's not going to extradite him allowing libya to try him instead with libyan officials already calling for the death penalty may fear it's a tactic to keep those dirty secrets hidden forever that's a controlled forum where the the western interests look at look at what happened with the trial of little also which you can be sure that the information that we could offer family has about the relationship between could offer you and the cia over decades to come out safe gadhafi was his father's right hand man the crucial mediating go between but the west he enjoyed

a playboy lifestyle in london counting tony blair peter mandelson and prince andrew amongst his pals there are even reports he was entertained of buckingham palace this is where safety that he was here in a place to study i want to london's top universities because even invited back here to give a speech as recent as last year is introduced by his old professor as someone who looks to democracy civil society and think liberal values for the core of his inspiration a far cry from the good that he's previous role as international pariahs libya's oil wealth meant it had a lot to give some details of what britain won in return have already emerged safe could effie's album art it was given one and a half million pounds by his charitable foundation as part of a deal to educate hundreds of libya's future civil servants and it wasn't just britain according to gadhafi libya funded nicolas sarkozy's path to the presidency but they get that he's fall from favor was sudden and spectacular according to save

their former friends have been trying to. cover up any links since turning against them desperate to stave off a trial at the international criminal court. and a little what they are trying to negotiate with us a deal today because of this the we will take care of course what does mean that means is at its core is controlled by those countries. which attack us with and i don't think it's going to be in anyone's interest for this to come out of the new government in libya want blood that's my reading of it europe wants silence and wants to do is move on a tractor because of course the hypocrisy in the double dealing of your with one hand condemning human rights abuses rather limited kind of wide at the same time deporting gadaffi the enemies back to libya who were tortured almost at the very point when tony blair was making a graphic in the tent so i think there's an awful lot of truths that ought to come

out and i really doubt it ever will. i. see libya insists it's capable of giving a fair trial despite its judicial system not being independent over forty years it's still unclear where safe gadaffi will be trying to rival ruling factions are fighting over who gets to exact revenge with a death penalty likely the same safety death and the secrets will be silenced are the bennetts artsy london. now the revolution is supposed to be over but it seems peace has not yet returned to leave the clashes between oil list of slain year of water khadafi and government troops erupted in the city of bani walid leaving seven people dead just days after a new government was formed several clans have come forward to say they won't recognize it this comes as the latest u.n. report has revealed that about seven thousand people are still being held in detention centers controlled by revolutionary forces. in other news francis called
