block post near the rainy border post the serbs resisted and then the native contingent had to use 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 well this has been going on since july this year when the course of albanians decided to impose a trade embargo on the serbs living in northern kosovo and 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 the best those and of course themselves serbs protecting this part not letting anybody to come inside the northern kosovo including the nato contingent have been several cases of clashes already several times people were injured and brought into hospitals tension is clearly very high in this region well i've been there recently

and i've talked to the serbs there they've 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 cost of all. political analyst alexander. the volatile situation in the region is in the interests of the west and. it seems like some of these actually planted the seeds of the future of instability in disorder in this part of the world in two thousand and eight. and unilaterally declared independence and the nato countries recognize their independence so the root of the problem is that we have western powers who are recognizing an illegally declared state and they're trying to make the serbs

down there and make nathan live inside this illegally declared state local service have made clear that they're absolutely not going to allow a nato to help the albanians establish their own state and in turn to leave serbia and this is this is classical stalemate nato is going to keep doing what they're trying to do and the serbs are going to be doing with their trying to do nato has the force the serbs have no there they're not armed so nato has the initiative they have the power and obviously they're willing to use it against unarmed civilians and you can find a much more on the unstable situation of course but just by going to our web site. from go online to get the latest updates as well as the background to the serbian cause of the conflict you can also find a number of stories by across one of the reporting from the scene all of that at r.t. . right now five minutes past the hour here in moscow russia is ready to pull out

of a start nuclear arms reduction treaty if the u.s. continues with its plans to deploy a missile defense shield in europe president dmitri medvedev warned that moscow may move its own offensive miss our systems to its borders in response and he said now it wants. 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 meets major where he 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 he pointed out that this needs to happen quote urgently are the countries and strategic missiles will be fitted with advanced kind of tracing systems and latest generation warheads and you also notify 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 or the russia will deploy and temporary strike systems in the west and south east in order to prevent further damage from the u.s. missile systems including you know the system of deployment of these going into missile systems in accounting that region will be one such step if the situation develops in an unbelievable way russia will reserve the right to seize further steps in the area disarmament and arms control. even unix typical linkage between strategic offensive and defensive weapons yet reasons could emerge from russia's strategic arms reduction treaty because this is a vision within the content of the treaty the from the was a lot of the same rhetoric that russia has been listening to for years again that this system is meant aimed against so-called rogue states like iran and north korea

that it's not anyway meant against russia or that they do believe that russia and the west should have separate systems are from the representatives from the national security council we've heard that cooperation again they praise president has made a statement about further cooperation but also pointed out this is very important that they will continue to cooperate with that pursuit of. the operation will in no way be limited or change or change the plans for missile defense shield and then from secretary general rouse sensitive nato he say he is disappointed by president medvedev statement that it's not in the spirit of russia nato cooperation but again if you look at a map you will see very clearly that nato is rapidly expanding 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 so basically russia is being surrounded and it's pretty easy to understand why this is such a major concern for their national security. he's

a nation are pouring right at the head of russia's state duma foreign affairs committee that of course doesn't cut off and says that moscow's concerns of a u.s. missile defense plans in his backyard on not without basis. i believe there is in the statement of mr new video from yesterday one should see three major points one is there. it is not about an action this is about a counterattack should we have to take certain measures in order to balance the. eventual damage to the. nuclear power. balance sense the beauty reaches the existed until now or number two he is there to measure sco each are announced by mr president or to be taken within the russian national borders we do not have to be on the national borders and this is the huge difference between the stand we the american stared to be on their national borders in order to protect

their national security and number three our concerns are really serious and the actions of the united states in terms of developing the global anti missile defense system are aimed not just against iran or north korea but finally gave. countries like russia and the time of year to get involved out here and i would see would like to know what do you think on the subject of myself if i'm to go to war website r.t. dot com you can take part in the latest poll that they were asking you what will russia's warnings over america's missile shield plans actually result in other numbers speak for themselves here forty percent say that it will see a republican in the white house and an arms race the second most popular response predicts the pentagon speeding up the deployment ninety nine percent of you believe that russia's objections will lead to europe waking up and saying no to the u.s. and a more a minority think that america will compromise and agree to moscow is too much to take part in our poll here at r.t.

dot com. well still ahead for you this hour here on r.t. justice in the uk fate of moammar gadhafi is captured son remains unclear we report on why saif al islam isn't being extradited to the. i hate him it fears he may never receive a fair trial. and right now three minutes past the hour here in moscow egypt's military has apologized for the deaths of thirty eight protesters in violent clashes with security forces since saturday the rules have confirmed that the parliamentary elections will go ahead on monday next week despite the ongoing unrest and thousands of egyptians have been occupying syria square demanding the country's military rulers resign immediately our correspondent closely are now reports from that infamous location. looking around it certainly seems as if people have chosen to remain here overnight it ended in the previous night sitting with people here on the streets and they were at this time yesterday last night and saw some of the fiercest street battles sell software police firing tear gas rubber

bullets and even reports of live ammunition the number of did is now being put at nearly fourteen with the egyptian health ministry saying that some three thousand two hundred and fifty people have been injured now later today here in cairo the arab league will be meeting to discuss syria the league has said that it is really to impose sanctions on the masters and here put it stop international community and a regional pointing at double standards on behalf of the arab league they say that the league is quick to respond to what is happening in damascus here where egypt burns the arab league has been extremely in clock extremely quiet in fact to see if 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 we're 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 balanced in international circles but we have no independent confirmation of that and certainly of all of the tear gas will be something that will be debated in days if not weeks to come because even now as i speak to you there is the heavy off the smell of to gas and last night and saw people coughing we saw people throwing up blood and were not in the parts of it least one doctor in this killing one of the largest two gas was fired at the makeshift clinic which was treating patients here in toughness where it is for which there are the report from the terrorists where well let me tie political analyst and a journalist to dr shah because there's the recent unrest in egypt could have a domino effect elsewhere in the arab world. egypt is at the heart of the arab world this is the most populated arab country it has a strategic positioning on a geographical level and when it comes to geopolitics this is really off cultures and i think this will push other peoples all around the island to actually move.

against the standard of living that does not. want to protect. the arabs and i think the people on the streets feel humiliated by their governments and they are reacting now but however i want to do the friendship between two different different elements there is what the people want and the movements of the people and they are all full of the western interests and the interests of the great powers they don't these two these two elements want all these new and in fact it's true it's the west and i think it's the american specific you can have a military council government in egypt that would maintain the american policy and protect american interests especially when it comes to israel and it doesn't actually say the western interests when there is a democratic government in egypt where the egyptians have their say our correspondent paula slip has been reporting from the heart of the protest since

they once again flared up she's bringing the latest updates from the scene if you just visit her twitter to get all the latest firsthand on what's really happening in the egyptian capital. fourteen minutes past the hour here in moscow european commission president jose manuel barroso the german chancellor angela merkel that set for a bus stop the brussels a bureaucrat wants to issue bonds to call the single currency project out of a debt hole it's for us i was also warned the euro could collapse unless the government some more economically integrated but merkel absolutely opposes the proposal of collective saying euro bonds are the last thing anyone needs right now patrick young the executive director of the investment advisory for advice is so that germany is just fed up of paying for other countries mistakes. 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 out a very very low interest rate in the case of somewhere like germany even yesterday with the worst board option 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 forwards club and the problem is that the germans see it this following a euro bond is basically a case of putting lipstick on the pigs quite literally in every possible sense and of course the other countries who are currently shut out of the borrowing market or have to borrow at a 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 well one of those are pigs countries that have portugal has been hit by a twenty four hour strike workers are protesting an austerity budget designed to

help the country reduce its debt lisbon's international airport has canceled all services with air traffic controllers just walking away from their posts it comes hours for prospects and fragile finances are driving more young people abroad as artists are really going to school reports. backstabs readers ready to go leave your home which has probably never been easier to take a pic of my stay in portugal when we know that architects with five years' experience are paid just eight hundred euro's a month is a question a lot of young specialists have been asking themselves lately and surprising answer may be to leave for portugal's former colonies like brazil. and probably through as being rather stable they had their national truth and then a massive reconstruction process again so there are opportunities for a civil construction companies especially and a lot of watching is still construction companies winter and they're currently

there very happy if i'm going to maybe know something about many portuguese are starting to view it at least as a present day. an african country rich in diamonds an oil resources presents an appetizer an opportunity for a lot of people who have lost hope of finding a decent job at home from embroider or who ever i tell i'm moving abroad invariably says ruined when you get my job two friends even ask me to take their c.v. . according to some reports around ninety thousand portuguese are currently living in cooler compared with just ten thousand in two thousand to some golden key for better income but most are simply looking for something something better than the every worsening situation at home and we simply i think salaries unfortunately are not the main reason and the main reason is the lack of opportunities in the portuguese markets due to the walk to the crisis the mass exodus of portugal's young smart educated make which turns the end of an era for the country i want to

specialize people where higher education scientists brain drain as if you call it that the go in or leave abroad and study abroad and this just stay there and watch of course we will most likely never recover those human assets like rita we hardly think twice before moving abroad it is i had to work for a decent salary far outweighing any possible fear of flying if you go straight he was going. and more of our news coverage along with the latest video is always available for you on line at our website r.t. dot com a time now to some of the stories are waiting for you now that might actually attract your attention to this moment of giving up and standing down yemen's president ali abdullah saleh has finally signed a deal ended ending his thirty three year. also our web site of being of hope other european space agency receives a signal from a stranded interplanetary probe which was sent on a mission for mars another two weeks ago.

right interested few minutes with the business but for now after colonel gadhafi is a battlefield execution last month but happy and hopes his captured son saif al islam would receive a fair trial but there are growing fears that won't be the case in the hands of libya's new rulers as r.t. reports there are some powerful figures outside the country who could influence the course of justice. say foul islam gadhafi is a man with a lot to say he's the last chance the world has to know how they get that the regime turned from public enemy number one to bosom 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 libyan officials

already calling for the death penalty many 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 which you can be sure that the information that they could offer family has about the relationships between gadhafi and the cia over decades will not come out secret that he was his father's right. and man in the crucial mediating go between 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 at buckingham palace this is where safety that he was given a place to study i want to london's top universities you even invited back you to do a speech as recent as last year where 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 at least previous role as international pariahs libya's oil wealth manager had a lot to give some details of what britain won in return have already emerged safe get their fees 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 peaceful from favre 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 that they were trying to negotiate with us and then to have yet to this day in we think at the care of the court what does the. it means it's a call is controlled by those countries. attacking us but then i don't think it's

going to be in anyone's interest for this to promote the new government in libya blood of my reading of it europe wants silence and wants to do is move on to try to because of course the hypocrisy in the double dealing with europe with one hand condemning human rights abuses rather limited going to the same time deporting his enemies back to libya who would torture that very point when tony blair was meeting in the tent so i think there's an awful lot of truth to come out and i really. was. libby insists it's capable of giving a fair trial despite its judicial system not being independent for over forty years is still unclear where safety data would be trying to rival ruling factions of fighting over who gets to exact revenge for the death penalty likely it seems safe

to daffy and the secrets to be silenced are the bennett see london now the revolution is supposed to be over it seems peace has not yet returned to libya clashes between loyalists of slain leader more like a deaf ear and government troops are up there in the city of bani walid that left at least seven people dead just days after a new government was formed and are several clans of come forward to say they won't recognize that this comes as the latest u.n. report is of real to about seven thousand people are still being held in libya detention centers are controlled by revolutionary forces. in other news here at odds here france's call for a secure zone to protect civilians in syria this is the first time a major western power suggested an international intervention in the country the french foreign minister proposed the creation of the safe area saying it could allow syrian people to be protected as well as ease the delivery of humanitarian aid the uprising against the rule of president bashar al assad started about eight

months ago and it's left an estimated three thousand five hundred people dead. the u.s. is urging black rain to address allegations of abuse outlined in a report on wednesday the findings say five people were tortured to death by security or thor after they used excessive force to crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrations more than forty others died in the unrest which began back in february the u.s. has been criticized in the past but not speaking out against its gulf ally during the protests. and just ahead for you on artie's kaiser report this time discussing how taxpayers are suffering from toxic debts that's after we catch up on the business with natasha. twenty four minutes past three pm here in moscow welcome to the business update russia has suffered a setback in the race to supply more gas to china asia's biggest country has
