changing so. many of the hopes at the heart of the egyptian revolution is mubarak's military establishment. anger against egypt's military rulers gains momentum for the arab league meeting in cairo seems more focused on condemning syria and speaking out about the spate of deaths on their own doorstep. serbs in the northern cause of the say nato forces broke their promise by trying to move a border barricade because a night of violence when the warning shots and tear gas began to the testers. and a landmark lawsuit is filed against live radio hosting one of america's secret prisons and human rights activists speak out for a. foreign government one chinaman playing. and the other was are to

sign a key energy deal late on friday i want to bring you more analysis and business in about twenty minutes. well news and much more twenty four hours a day you're watching t.v. a very warm welcome to. egyptians are packing into congress square the center point of violent clashes which of killed more than forty people since saturday comes as a former prime minister in the mubarak regime reportedly agreed to form a new cabinet. room richard tonsil asked him to be the national government. reports it's having little impact on public sentiment. there's a funny line right now between peaceful protests here in turkey square and atika chaos it's early in the morning and already tens of thousands of people are

gathering here ahead of a court 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 challenge of the protesters is for the army to step down this has not changed and 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 challenges also but the people are lining up this is not entirely true because the reaction here in the square has been reached to beyond his 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 they asked the question how can you make sure it's being held against a backdrop of such violence and walk kind of the just in the city county elections have right now but the muslim brotherhood has come to the reforms and nonce by the

military and urged people to go off next monday and cost their ballots now there's a lot of concern in the spontaneous 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 result in miscarriages there are people who say that they feel taking out gas canisters and that the sell by date is some five years ago in other words they expired more than five years ago this has resulted in people have feeling this points against humanity and that the change of motas in the last few hours is that it has become increasingly difficult for news of foreign journalists to walk around stuff just where the anger and the suspicion here is growing one of the safest places for foreigners is next to these makeshift clinics but here 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 nonsmokers that come all guns really will be the

next prime minister has been little rich with a lot of anger here in toughness where over here is the zuma 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 with the mubarak color for political putting it any other way but really what people here are saying is that there is a clear show of double standards and he pockets see particularly from the arab league which made just yesterday here in cairo where all this violence is unfolding and instead of focusing on what is happening right outside their windows the arab league spoke only about the situation in syria and they have given damascus until midday today to respond to this opposing to say hundreds of arab league observers to the country to assess and monitor how the government there was 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 but this remains to be seen the economic sanctions that are being but this is bandied about include the suspension on all commercial banks boycotting of the central bank these are economic sanctions that will be voted on by the arab league on sunday if indeed damascus is it was fuses to allow these foreign observers. well you can keep your finger on the pulse of egypt's latest wave of unrest by checking out the paulism twitter feed the latest tweets saying. course that's not this. many of the deaths of protesters warned that turned other news stories around the general interest. meanwhile france is pushing for humanitarian corridors to open in syria to transport medicine and other vital supplies but there's a criticism it could be a pretext for intervention. campaign in libya and sought to sell some reports

thanks a libyan intervention of french president nicolas sarkozy bad destroying a first for his country first a call for nato to impose a no fly zone over libya. first to officially recognize the opposition as libya's only region it 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 secured zone to protect civilians and first doors the exiled opposition syrian national council and his account human thing brings in this very very popular agreement between most of the left and most of the right about that and sarkozy has to say intervention so it seems to me that he's 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 intends to

let the french decide his fate as president of the two thousand and twelve elections it's time president nicolas sarkozy talks about the syrian crisis he spoke of he's popular. you know he's really really. bad situation when and when it comes to the polls and he's using the same craziness as a way to. to 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 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 story functioning judiciary many are still armed scenario some warn it could be repeated in syria and once

those regimes are overthrown a pound or a box is opened in other words chaos can be the result while one is always happy to see the end of brutal dictatorship my own view is that these against these regimes the people themselves critics are france's latest move of raise the question of whether any foreign intervention in syria without the watch at all other countries have taken a slightly more cautious step the french leadership are putting up for down and putting its plug hold of everyone else french assertion is not entirely welcome by syrians themselves a lot of opponents actually would not welcome. what is or even turkish forces in the regime and against boring you conventional and fraud against france's sarkozy may get out of intervention in syria even critics wonder if it's really worth it but at least no one can argue about who said it first us or so you r.t.

russia. well with some western nations still posting the results of their intervention in libya there are strong calls for several of them in syria in the east expert professor lawrence davidson warns that the stakes in damascus may be much higher. well if they're serious about their it's true tat as 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 are the iran and its croats and i don't think this is a very good idea they haven't thought through at least at the political level they haven't thought through who they might get the assad regime falls. how 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 a pope missis. as the world watches the arab spring raids throughout the middle east there's great debate over just what the testers are really after that's the theme of the discussion in today's cross-talk program that's coming your way that you haven't hundred g.m.t. but here's a preview for you. they don't mean he believes in. the way we're doing he is easy. to leave completion that but not if they don't understand what the motive is that it would understand want to grill 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. and 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 into it and they're fighting for a better future and 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 the serbs saying nato broke an agreement with them in trying to tear down their roadblocks in the course of the serbia border it prompted the latest clashes in the north of the breakaway region despite claims the on the incident promise not to take them back to action what. has the details now. we haven't witnessed the same violence as on the night of the. tension remains extremely high in northern kosovo. on that night as the native back a four try to dismantle the barricades the serbs came out today defense tear gas

was used there were injuries as well as we drove around the serbian part of kosovo you notice that a barricades are not being dismantled and in fact some have told us that more are going to be put up they're being manned and if people here are going to carry on manning 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 and to the people living here they're an extremely important symbol and also be have important practical implications the local minority feel that their rights have been eroded kosovo which is majority old baby and populated has been recognized by many countries in the international community ten percent who are serbs are saying that their rights are not being respected but they're not part of this new cycle state they still say that living in serbia and they do not recognize this kosovo so when in july albanian possibles and sided impose their customs that all the goods will have to go through their officials the serbian

locals here rebelled instead 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 they'd 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 you know so you had this four month standoff 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 dell playing ins and it was taken over by nato by k. four u.k. four is the place to be the mediator it's in it's going to resolve the situation but the serbs have no chance of decay for 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 he use force in fact they're condemning this particular attempt to dismantle the barricades by saying that they had a previous agreement with the k four 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. lotteries in the order of the reporting form it of it's a well political analyst in the curtain us it says the root of the current of all the standoff lies in nato is failure to stick to its peacekeeping mandate. it's not a problem of whether they should be there and it's not a problem that they are the ones that are the only legitimate well for us and we should act upon such situations but the problem is that they are exceeding their limits and they are exceeding their authority nobody wants all night at some barricade and the like nobody have something better to do the problem with the people are really scared there are threats all the time there are incidents from the albanian side there are there are people getting shot there are all sorts of pressures. but that's plenty more from course on our website r.t. dot com including pictures and video of the clashes there also online today. weapon of mass destruction it's not science it's great liars the potential killer of

thanks carrie ever will welcome to the program russia and belarus are just signed a key energy deal late on friday minsk is selling its transportation networks moscow and exchange for caught in the price of gas supplies are just some bargain 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 and that price could be cut to as little as one hundred fifty dollars per thousand cubic meters and just put that in context even customers currently paid a market rate of about four hundred dollars per thousand cubic meters so great cuts

in the price there well sure is keen on securing its gas supplies to europe it's 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 tranz gas the state owned gas transit company it will sell at the 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 beltran's gas but for the moment those

priorities have been taken a back foot to the need to raise capital for its economic crisis. sometime partner will be bringing us more updates from the signing ceremony as it starts and meanwhile let's have a look at the markets more just calls boyle is stuck between gains and losses investors are still concerned about the possible supply shortages france has most european embargo on imports from iran after the international atomic energy agency said the country may still be developing a nuclear weapon called whether we could take moment that is weighing on cruise prize brand one just writing a one hundred and seven dollars per barrel of wealthy w t i is just under ninety six dollars per barrel. european market so low octane hungrily lost its investment grade at moody's investors that isn't easy is short term foreign cost surged to a record i could see in the tax losing but only played since the sox. and russian stocks are trading in the red suit with both the artist in the white suits losing
