on the. video on demand. my old. street with the palm of your. anger against egypt's military rulers gains momentum at the arab league meeting in cairo seems more focused on condemning syria and lashing out at the spate of deaths on the. serbs in northern coast of us a nato forces broke their promise by trying to remove a border barricade it follows a night of violence when warning shots and tear gas were used against protesters. and the lawsuit is filed against lithuania opposed to the secret prisons and human rights activists speak up and taken. just
12:01 am
fine a key energy deal of late on friday we'll bring you more in business in about twenty minutes. and online twenty four hours a day you're watching r.t. welcome to the program. the top story now a former associate of egypt's ousted president hosni mubarak has reportedly accepted a request from ruling generals to become the prime minister and form a new cabinet that comes off the bench to council apologize for the deaths of more than forty protesters killed in almost a week of fierce clashes and. reports the rest shows no sign of letting up. chant of the tens of thousands behind me is the same that it has been for the past six straight days we want the field-marshal gone people here are screaming the
12:02 am
field marshal of course being mama tonto meeting head of the supreme council of the armed forces the military writ with a full make egypt's prime minister come el al done slowly and initial reports are that country has accepted the post of prime minister certainly if it is true his hands will be full with forming a new government before monday's parliamentary elections now guns only is a popular figure among egyptian people he was the prime minister for ninety ninety six to nine hundred ninety nine but he is also very closely associated with the mubarak era of course he was prime minister with mubarak was president and for that reason people here will not support his appointment but in addition to that people say it doesn't really matter who's going to be the new prime minister and who will make up the new government they want the military to step down and certainly when the rumor sturtz first started filtering through advances of one thousand people here just started chanting louder that we want even if he she goes now a not
12:03 am
a concern at amongst protesters here is what exactly is the kind of tear gas that the security personnel have been using and renounce hearing from egypt to media much the same that we've been reporting earlier that the tear gas causes a burning in the lungs the liver and the heart with many people here say that they picked up gas canisters that expired more than five years ago many people saying that this is a crime against humanity the irony of the situation is that law the arab league was meeting here in cairo the first topic from discussion was the violence that was unfolding around them and the words that people have been using are double standards and prophesied the focus of that arab league meeting was what is happening at the moment in syria and they have now given damascus a deadline to respond positively. to the proposal to send some five hundred of the services to monitor how the government is dealing with and see government protesters now we have no indication of the state from damascus or how they will
12:04 am
respond we have heard from the iraqi foreign minister this is a damascus move response also to be that if indeed they go in the arab league will meet again on sunday and then they will begin the process of voting for sanctions and one they've been on has indicated it will not vote positively the signs are that the majority of the arab league foreign ministers in fact will give a nod now these sanctions include things like a ban on need travel a syrian official saying keep things like no more commercial flights to the country a halt to dealings with the same time bank and also no more government to government trade the purpose of the sanctions is not to stop the violence that would be impossible but rather to put pressure on the assad regime. there but meanwhile france's are pushing for humanitarian corridors to be opened in syria to transport medicine and other vital supplies but there's criticism it could be a pretext for intervention and an echo of the nato bombing campaign in libya as
12:05 am
artie's tesser also reports that people thanks to the libyan intervention french president nicolas sarkozy bad destroying a first for his country first call for nato to impose no fly zone over libya. first to officially recognize the opposition as libya's only legitimate government first to strike with libya now in the rearview mirror syria appears to be the next stop france is once again the first western nation suggests an international ground intervention in syria calling for a quote secured zone to protect civilians and first to adores the exiled opposition syrian national council plans of towns who are human thing of engines very very powerful the agreement between most of the left and those of the right of the and sarkozy. as the saviors of their religion so it seems to me that these are more even more aggressive than obama would be even though he doesn't have the military strength of the loons and sweeping popularity at home is what sarkozy needs if he
12:06 am
had to select fresh decide his fate as president and get two thousand and twelve elections it's trying pretty damn nicolas sarkozy talks about the syrian crazies and he's popular in spring keepers. and those really really. bad situation when when it comes to the polls he's using craziness as a way to. prove to be seen as provocative the way he was with libya but what the french government deems a success doesn't seem to be too promising for those living in the post gadhafi era violent clashes between rival militia groups have continued adding to the death toll a new u.n. report says that some seven thousand people are being held in libya detention centers controlled by militias with no access to courts or a functioning judiciary many are still armed scenario some warn it could be repeated in syria once those regimes are overthrown a pound or
12:07 am
a box is opened in other words chaos can be the result while one is always happy to see the end of brutal dictatorships my own view is that these against these regimes and the people themselves critics are france's latest move of raise the question of whether any foreign intervention in syria would after the end of watch that all other countries have taken a slightly more cautious step it seems the french leadership is keen on putting it down and planting its plug ahead of everyone else french assertion is not entirely welcome by syrians themselves a lot of opponents actually would not welcome. his or even turkish forces. into the regime and against mentionable and for all the gains france's psychos he may get out of a diversion in syria even critics wonder if it's really worth it but at least no one can argue about who said it first or so you r.t.
12:08 am
russell just. some western nations still toasting the results of the intervention in libya many are forgetting that in syria the stakes may be much higher that's according to a professor lawrence davidson middle east expert from west chester university in the u.s. . oh if they're serious about this it's can tap as catastrophic. to essentially invade syria which is what they would have to do or we're going to get it. from the air. they're going to bring in potentially syrian allan's and syrian our rights are for ron and his crew out and i don't think this is a very good idea they haven't thought through at least that the political level they haven't thought through who they might get the assad regime for. now the intelligence people probably thought this through play and here in the united states for instance politically this is done with out any flurry thought as to what
12:09 am
the consequences of or missis. as the world watched as the arab spring raged throughout the middle east there's growing debate over just what protestors are really after the discussion today's cross-talk program that's coming your way seven thirty am g.m.t. but here's a quick preview for you. if they don't mean liberalism or freedom of the west away what do you mean to live. to be normal completion that. if they don't understand would look as a dog would understand what a girl is an easy western i think there's a lot of anxiety in this that's reflected by what david is saying as well and i must congratulate him because he's doing his very best to kind of impersonate. an article zionist and he's carrying it off very very very successfully i mean why his saying is utterly despicable about his perception of people which he threw it off
12:10 am
as a comment like that as muslims they are not muslims there are muslims and christians in that area and they're fighting for a better future the fact that here and others in israel and maybe in the west would portray it as some kind of decline and going back to the middle ages only to france this sense of anxiety about what they're calling. a course of in the service a nato broken agreement with them in trying to tear down their road blocks the course of a broader approach to the latest clashes in the north of the breakaway region ok despite claims he promised not to take it out for the action parties and karl rove never has the details from cause tonight we haven't witnessed the same. but tension remains extremely high in northern kosovo. on the night the native by
12:11 am
k. for try to dismantle the barricades the serbs came up to dead parents to gas was used there were injuries as well as we drove around the serbian part of kosovo to night you know to the barricades are not being dismantled and in fact some have called of the more akin to put up they being manned and the people here are going to carry on mining them as an act of defiance now what you may see there is barricades you may say well that's just a pile of rubble to the people living here they're an extremely important symbol and also they have important practical implications below call minority feel that their rights have been eroded kosovo which is majority hold baby and populated has been recognized by many countries in the international community the ten percent who are serbs are saying that their rights are not being respect but they're not part of this new so-called state they still say that they're living in serbia and they do not recognize this kosovo so when in july albanian possibles decided don't
12:12 am
impose their customs at all the goods will have to go through their officials the serbian locals here rebel they said that this is a slippery slope first their goods will be controlled then the police will move in then the army would move in then it have to either go to the main part of serbia or perhaps they'd have to disappear among the local population so this is an unacceptable outcome to them so we've had this four month stand off with the barricades of the serbs are saying none of your customs here and with the albanians trying to move in now after a while the initiative was taken away from the albanians and it was taken over by didn't need to back a four became four is supposed to be to mediate or it's aim it's going to resolve the situation but the serbs have no trust of the case for. well per school mokoena says the group to the current board of standoff lies in a failure to stick to its peacekeeping mandate it's not a problem of whether they should be there is not a problem that they are the ones that are deal only legitimate well for us that we
12:13 am
should act upon such a situation but the problem is that they are exceeding their limits and they are exceeding their authority nobody wants to see it all night at some barricade and the like nobody has something better to do the problem is that people are really scared there are threats all the time there are incidents from inside there are there are people getting shot there are all sorts of pressures and there is a great number of people especially from the albanian side and some of their supporters. both in europe and even in serbia which are constantly threatening with the so-called croatian scenario and that is the worst thing that could happen. but it's plenty more on our website com including pictures and video of the crash is there also online today. grandview weapon of mass destruction that scientists have virus which will actually kill the fossil fuel learned to detail.

12:24 am
dollars per thousand cubic meters and just put that in context e.u. customers currently paid a market rate of about four hundred dollars per thousand cubic meters so great cut in the price there russia is keen on securing its gas supplies to europe is currently three main routes for that one is the nord stream pipeline newly created to germany and that carries a small percentage of the gas at the moment pipelines to carry about twenty percent of the gas to europe but the vast majority still flows through ukraine belarus needs this deal it's an economic trouble with rampant inflation and a trade crisis as well it needs to raise money and it will raise two point five billion dollars from the sale of well trans gas the state owned gas transit company it will sell out to grasp from which will own one hundred percent of that company it will also get cheap gas pegged close to the domestic rate for gas in russia in
