you're against egypt's military rulers gains momentum for the arab league meeting in cairo seems well focused on condemning syria and speaking out about the spate of deaths on their own doorstep. in northern cos of us a nato forces broke their promise like trying to report a barricade dollars a night of violence when the point shots and tear gas used against protesters. and a landmark lawsuit is filed against me to bring it close to one of america's secret prisons rights act to speak out for an additional twenty point enough and one time a day.

it said twelve noon ahead in the russian capital this is r.t. a very warm welcome to. a former associate of egypt's ousted president hosni mubarak has reportedly accepted a request from ruling generals to become prime minister and form a new cabinet it comes after the military council apologized for the deaths of more than forty protesters killed in almost a week of fierce clashes. there reports the unrest shows no signs of letting up. there's a fine line right now between peaceful protests here in tahrir square and at a chaos it's already in the morning and already tens of thousands of people are gathering here ahead of a call for one million protesters to come to tough here today friday the army is maintaining a heavy security presence most of it is centered around the interior ministry

building just a short distance behind me and this has been the scene of violent clashes over the past week the chant of the protesters is the army to step down this has not changed in this is what many people here say that the army can announce whatever changes and wishes the basic demand is the same and that is that the military needs to go the challenge is also that the people are whining but this is not entirely true because the reaction here in the square has been reached to the army's announcement that it will go ahead with parliamentary elections on monday not most people i've been speaking to say that they plan not to vote in those elections but i asked the question how communications being held against the backdrop of such violence and what kind of could just in the city county elections have one now that the muslim brotherhood has all comes of the reforms announced by the military and urged people to go off next monday and cast their ballots now there's a lot of concern in this continues to grow over the tear gas that the security

personnel are using the egyptian media is reporting that it is particularly toxic that of course is a burning to the lungs and the never and that is known to dissolve miscarriages there are people who say that they've been picking up gas canisters and that the sell by date is some five years ago in other words they expired moving five years ago this has resulted in people kept calling this point against humanity and not a change i've noticed in the last few hours is that it has become increasingly difficult for news of foreign journalists to walk around to test your square the anger and the suspicion here is growing one of the safest places for foreigners is next to these makeshift clinics the fear the doctors they don't know not being. able to cope with the number of injured are also now having to work as peacekeepers to keep the crowds back and in control now and non-small that come all guns movie will be the next prime minister has been lately it's what a lot of anger here in toughness where although he is a person that people like he served as prime minister in the late ninety's he also

served under hosni mubarak and as a result he is very much tainted what the mubarak color fought for lack of putting it any other way but really what people here are saying is that there is a clear show of double standards and he ocracy meticulously from the arab league which made just yesterday here in cairo where all this violence is unfolding and instead of focusing on what was happening right outside the windows the arab league spoke only about the situation in syria and they have given damascus until midday today to respond to the composer to send hundreds of arab league observers to the country to assess and monitor how the government there is dealing with the antigovernment protests and as i say a little word on what is happening here the damascus government has not yet indicated whether they will agree to the protocol they've been forced to sign we have been told by the iraqi foreign minister that they will come to the party with

us for mains to be seen the economic sanctions that are being disadvantaged about includes the suspension of all commercial banks the boycotting of the central bank these are economic sanctions that will be voted on by the arab league on sunday if indeed damascus is if the fuses to allow these foreign observers. really your think on the pulse of egypt so they can sway her on a respirator their policy which repeat were relayed to tweet she says it's that's not who's. leaving that's just it's a war and i turned the other news story general. i mean while france is pushing for humanitary. in corridors they opened in syria and transport meds and other vital supplies but there's criticism that could be a pretext for intervention. to campaigning. there's are some reports of people thanks to the libyan intervention french president nicolas sarkozy bad destroying a first for his country first call for need to impose

a no fly zone over libya. first to officially recognize the opposition as libya's only legitimate government first 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 secure zone to protect civilians and first to adores the exiled opposition syrian national council france's account human thing is very very popular i remain between most of the left and most of the right about that and sarkozy has the. government i'm 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 lord and sweeping popularity at home is what circles he needs if he intends to let the french decide his fate as president and it's only twelve elections it's time president nicolas sarkozy talks about

a syrian craziest. because you know he's really really. bad situation when and when it comes to the polls and he's using the syrian crisis as a way to. to work to be seen as proactive the way he was with libya but where the french government deems a success doesn't seem to be too promising for those living in the post afi era violent clashes between rival militia groups have continued added 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 and many are still armed scenario some warn it could be repeated in syria and once those regimes are overthrown a pound or as 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 the

end to these regimes should have been the people themselves critics of france's latest move of raise the question of whether any foreign intervention in syria would actually watch as well other countries have taken a slightly more cautious step it seems that the french leadership is keen on putting its foot down and planting a supply of everyone else french assertion is not entirely welcome by syrians themselves a lot of it. actually would not welcome. western was it or even. the regime and against foreign intervention and for all the gains france is cycles he may get out of intervention in syria even critics wonder if it's really worth it at least no one could argue about who said it first dozen or so you r.t. brussels to see. but with some western nations still toasting the results of the intervention in libya there are strong calls for similar in syria with east expert

professor david some ones at the stakes in damascus and much higher well they're serious about. catastrophic. to essentially invade syria which is what they would have to do. by date from the air. they're going to bring in potentially syrian ally and syrian allies who are iran and as who are then i don't think this is a pretty good idea they haven't thought through at least at the political level they haven't thought through who might get the assad regime falls. now the intelligence people probably thought this through. and here in the united states for instance politically this is done without any forethought as to what the consequences of what misses. the world what is the arab spring raids throughout the

middle east there's a growing debate over just what protest is already after and that's the theme of the discussion in today's crosstalk coming way to have a hundred g.m.t. but here's a pretty. they if they don't mean liberalism of freedom it was to worry is easy. to believe. if they don't understand would most easy is they don't understand what a girl is easy westernizing there's a lot of anxiety in this that's reflected by what david is saying as well i must congratulate him because he's doing his very best to kind of impersonate the character to 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 as a comment like that those muslims there are not muslims there are muslims and christians in that area and they're fighting for a better future the fact that he 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 fret this sense of anxiety about what they're calling the. course of service a nato broken agreement with them and try to tear down their roadblocks to close the border it prompted the latest clashes in the north of the breakaway region and cable spy planes here and only promise not to take that for that action. from kosovo we haven't witnessed the same violence as on the night of the twenty third the tension remains extremely high in northern kosovo. and that night the native back a four try to dismantle the barricades for serbs came up to their defense tear gas was used there were injuries as well as we drove around the serbian part of kosovo

we notice that a barricade are not being dismantled and in fact some have told of that more are going to be put up they are being manned and the people here are going to carry on mining and 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 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 say no rights are not being respected not a 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 they would impose their customs but all the goods would have to go through their officials the serbian locals here rebelled ahead of business as a slippery slope first their goods will be controlled then the police will move in then the army would move in then don't have to either go to the main part of serbia

or perhaps they have to disappear among the local population so this isn't an acceptable outcome to them so we've had this for months 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 albania and it was taken over by that nato back a four ok four is supposed to be the mediator it's in it's going to resolve the situation the serbs have no trust of decay for they're saying that what happened on the night of the twenty third is a perfect illustration of this conflict why did they come in why did they use force in fact they're condemning this particular attempt to dismantle the barricades by saying that they had a previous agreement with the pay for that they would not actually touch their barricades that they would not do anything about them and they would not try to provoke a scene and yet that's exactly what happened on the night. reporting from attributes . a political analyst. says the root of the current quarter started off the rise in

stick to its peacekeeping mandate it's not a problem of whether there should be there is not a problem that they are the ones that are the only legitimate well force that we should act upon such a situation but the problem is that they are exceeding their limits and they are exceeding their authority nobody wants all night and some very. like nobody have something better to do the problem is the people are really scared there are threats all the time there are incidents from the albanian side they are there are people getting shot there are all sorts of pressures. but i spent some more phone calls on our website that's r.t. dot com. and thank you all because it's. so like a brand new weapon of mass destruction scientists create a virus which could potentially kill. the details.

on the individual welcome to the business update russia and belarus are just signed a key energy deal late on friday and this is something it's transportation that talks to moscow in exchange for a cart in the price of gas supplies archies john barclay has the details. president alexander lukashenko of belarus is in moscow to talk about business and it's expected one of the headline deals will involve gas and quite a deal it's expected to be russia could cut its price for gas to belarus by half but the risk currently pays around three hundred dollars per thousand cubic meters of gas from russia that price could be cut to as little as one hundred fifty dollars per thousand cubic meters and just put that in context either you customers currently pay the 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 there's currently three main routes for that one is the nord stream

pipeline the newly created to germany and that carries a small percentage of the gas at the moment pipelines through the risk area 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 bill trans gas the state owned gas transit company it will sell that to gas problem 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 return it may in future regret the sale of bell trans gas but for the moment those who are at ease have been taken a back foot to the need to raise capital for its economic crisis.
