little. league. or. little each. anger against egypt's military rulers games momentum but the arab league meeting in cairo seems more focused on condemning syria than speaking out about the speed of deaths on their own doorstep this is live video we're looking at from the egyptian capital with more on this coming up. serbs in northern kosovo say nato forces broke their promise by trying to remove a border barricade this was a night of violence with warning shots and tear gas were used against protesters. a landmark lawsuit filed against lithuania for hosting one of the u.s. secret prisons as human rights activists speak up for a man allegedly tortured there before ending up in guantanamo bay.

two pm in moscow and that trends are good to have you with us here on r t our top story thousands of egyptians are crammed into cairo's tahrir square the center point for a violent clashes that have killed more than forty people since saturday this comes as the former prime minister in the mubarak regime agrees to form a new cabinet after egypt's ruling military council asked him to lead a national government policy or joins us live from cairo with more paula so you just military rulers are taking political steps but how is this playing out among the attitudes in the square right now the other day we reported how do you military is used facebook to apologize for deaths and cover in tahrir square so how is this playing out with the people. well there are maybe tens of thousands of protesters here in town where we can expect that in any town also they will be hundreds of

thousands i think is midday prayers complete people throughout the mosque and make a break have any meat on eight point eight million man fifteen attack him now there are focal points where watching when they could be. flare ups of violence being one of the interior ministry building just a short distance behind me there the army and the police have a record a seven foot high wall which is why some people carry a coin kyra when you've been the only source of course still barriers and wire fences all the roads leading to past here so this could be some kind of violence that it was a scene with the full minute illustrations over the past week also watching a counter-demonstration this is the right people to support the status quo and if indeed they decide to march will they make the contagion now the protesters are still standing by the original demand and that is for the army to step down immediately the only response was that the city and the trail that is

a quote of the shuttle sorry that they've been given and so in line with us and the fact that they've appointed a new prime minister to come out guns ari who was part of the mubarak era has done little to convince people here that the army is serious about transferring power human rights to also been criticizing the interior ministry for having blood on their hands they say that the ministry is blatantly lying when it in high school said it has been easy to live ammunition we know from all the officials that at least twenty two people were killed from live gunshot wounds many of them with one gunshot to the front of the head there are autopsy set up in full performed on a number of them and these are top to have revealed that the people were shot from above which does suggest the use of army and police snipers human waste is also raising concerns over the type of tear gas that is critical so it is argued in saying that it is a particular site that is there and internationally. what the international response to this latest growing wave of unrest. but it was in the white house

issued a statement calling for the quick transfer of power to a civilian government but other than that international community has been largely quiet out of the connector and had given damascus another two hours to respond to their request that arab league observers he thinks damascus now when you look at that time to pontificate to the fact that nothing is being said about egypt and of the arab people of the international community saying that this is people of double standards and keep up with it it's worth mentioning that the arab league has made this decision while meeting in cairo so while this violence is unfolding it chose to turn a blind eye to this and instead focus on the situation in syria. or i will keep an eye with you on latest developments in cairo policy or life in the egyptian capital thanks for that update. or remember you can always find more on what's going on on our team dot com. what's happening right now in tahrir square we're streaming it

live twenty four hours a day that we'd already there pretty you thought arties website or if you've got. meanwhile france is pushing for humanitarian corridors to be open with syria transporting medicine and other vital supplies but there is criticism that it could be a pretty text for intervention and an echo of the nato bombing campaign in libya test or so he reports people of thanks to the libyan intervention french president nicolas sarkozy bad to string a first for his country first to call for a need 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 but first western nations suggest 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 the princes of townes who are human beings and it's very very popular i believe in between most of the left and most of the right about that and so the press the savior of the intervention so it seems to me that these more you are more aggressive than obama would be even though he doesn't have the meat that he's trying to do with their lives and sweeping popularity at home is what suckles he needs if he intends to let the french decide his fate as president and it's what he twelve elections it's. pretty damn close of course he talks about the syrian crazies he's spoken to keep was and those really really. bad situation when when it comes to the polls he's using the syrian crisis as a way. to work to be seen as provocative 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 scenarios some warn it could be repeated in syria once those regimes are overthrown a pandora's box is opened in other words chaos can be the result while one is always happy to see the end of brutal dictatorships and my own view is that these the ends to these regimes should come from the people themselves critics of france's latest move of raise the question of whether any foreign intervention in syria would actually and as well other countries have taken a slightly more cautious step it seems that the french leadership are putting its foot down and planting its plug out of everyone else french assertion is not entirely welcome by syrians themselves a lot of it. actually would not welcome. or

even. you can be an opponent of the regime and against storing it mentioned and for all the gains france is psychos he may get out of adventure in syria even critics wonder if it's really worth it but at least no one can argue about who said it first dozen or so you r.t. brussels. or some western nations or toasting the results of our intervention in libya there are strong calls for similar involvement in syria but middle east expert professor lawrence davidson warns that the stakes in damascus may be much higher. well if they're serious about this it's to tat as catastrophic. to essentially invade syria which is what they would have to do. by the way from the air. they're going to bring in potentially syrian allies and syrian allies are iran and as well 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 whom they might get hit by a cyber cian for. now the intelligence people probably thought this through. and here in the united states for instance politically this is done with out any forethought as to what the consequences of a witness it. and as the world watches the arab spring rage throughout the middle east there's a growing debate over just what the protesters are really looking for i think for discussion up in today's cross talk coming your way in about an hour here's a preview. he believes in a little list of we what do you mean he's easy. to believe that if they go through this is a good movie season is that it was understandable to go releasing these most amazing 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 but. not to cause zionists and he's carrying it on very very it 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 that are not muslims there are muslims and christians in riyadh and they're fighting for a better future the fact that he and others may be in the west would portray it as some kind of decline i'm going back to the middle ages only to frets the sense of anxiety about what they're calling donkey. kosovo's serbs a nato broken agreement with them and trying to tear down one of their roadblocks near the kosovo serbia border it prompted the latest clashes in the north the breakaway region came despite claims that the alliance had earlier promise not to take unilateral action as. has the details from kosovo we haven't witnessed the

same as on the night of the twenty eighth but tension remains extremely high in north in kosovo. that night as the native by k 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 know does it have 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 but to the people living here they're an extremely important symbol and also they have important practical implications the local minority field and 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 sane of their rights are not being respected they're not

a part of this new so-called say they still say that they're living in serbia and they do not recognize this kosovo so when in july albanian course it was sided impose their customs that all the goods would have to go through their officials the serbian local sare rebuilder said of this is a slippery slope first their goods will be controlled then the police will move in then the army would move in there would have to either go to the main part of serbia or perhaps you have to disappear among below call population so this is an unacceptable computer so you had this film on stand off would have 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 that native back ok for the k four it's the place to be the mediator in saying it's going to resolve the situation the serbs have no chance 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 you 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 that night. so he's eager ordinary reporting for me tributes so what political analyst nicholas analysis says the root of the current border standoff lies in nato is failure to stick to its peacekeeping end. it's not a problem of whether they should be there it's not a problem that they are the ones that i deal 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 and nobody wants to set the whole night at some barricade and the like nobody has something better to do the problem is the people are really scared there are threats all the time there are incidents from deal being inside there are there are people getting shot there are all sorts

just say. it's technology innovation all the list of elements from around russia. the future . thanks for staying with us here on r t sixteen minutes past the hour in moscow the small baltic republic of lithuania may face trial in the hague for torture amid allegations it's been harboring a secret cia prison after a lawsuit filed by a terror suspect who was locked up without charge by the u.s.

for almost a decade artie's alexei are chefs he hasn't. terror suspect abu zubaida now at guantanamo prisoner has been in washington's hands for almost a decade he allegedly al-qaeda recruiter has not been charged with anything just yet however he claims that crimes were in fact committed against him during his interrogation by the cia there is evidence. from us and there are no government reports and also from the records of the international committee for the red cross that that was a bay that was tortured in the hands of the cia. he was subjected to very cruel treatment for example pull more paper commissions and waterboarding which is a form of mock drowning he seems to have every reason to hold a grudge against washington but from behind bars a blizzard by the file the rather surprising lawsuit against lithuania he claims

that in two thousand and five he was held in a secret cia prison in the baltic state bears responsibility for its role in facilitating the operation of the cia program others obey the request of the european court to find to recognize him as a victim and force disappearance secret detention and torture only twenty and thirty three a secret cia prison in a small country in central europe that may seem like a conspiracy theory just sun good luck to you right now activists with. cia claims landing could be have the records of conversations between the senior security officials and between top politicians bilby don't have to argue about the prison it was the question how many people were brought in and was recruited moreover. do not even deny that there were secret cia facilities on their soil for

some reason though they are refusing to call. on the booze abiders lawsuit mr pilots just believes they are simply scared they knew where to be accept people who may be tortured in the free and that is twice as bad as it could be but i think that the responsible officials from the united states and from. including george w. bush should be brought to international hague tribunal for crimes against humanity against prisoners it may take months for those abiders lawsuit to bring any results but even at this early stage it has highly explosive potential say experts as it may trigger actions in other european countries poland macedonia and romania along with lithuania have all been accused of having cia prisons on their territory but it's the first time that their former detainee has decided to file a lawsuit against the country and experts are now speculating what the possible

consequences of this case may be let's hear a chance to see reporting from wilderness in lithuania. so now to some other stories making headlines across the globe two main rival palestinian leaders are embarking on a new spirit of partnership after agreeing to compete in next year's presidential election the comments come from president mahmoud abbas and hamas leader khaled mashal came at a meeting in cairo but they haven't resolved their differences over an interim unity government which had planned after signing a deal in may this follows years of failed of previous reconciliation attempts. a series of three explosions in a popular open air market in southern iraq have killed nineteen people and injured dozens more two motorbike bombs rocked the city of basra then a ferry went off as police arrived causing all of a tallies some experts see it as an example of the future iraq may face after u.s. withdraws its troops from the country at the end of december. a nato airstrike

it is quite a hefty deal it's expected to be done very shortly it could see russia cut its gas price to belarus by half currently pays around three hundred dollars per thousand cubic meter of gas from russia that could be cut to as little as one hundred fifty dollars per thousand cubic meter and to put that in context e.u. customers have to pay the market rate of about four hundred fifty dollars per thousand cubic meters of gas russia is keen to try and secure its energy supplies to europe that's why on the other side of the deal it will be allowed to buy well trans gas the state owned gas transit company and. that will give it an added extra route to europe and it says help to. secure supply to european customers the most northern of those routes is the nord stream pipeline the new pipeline that

carries a little bit of gas but twenty percent. on the boat goes through ukraine this deal is very necessary for suffering rampant inflation and an economic crisis at the moment it'll raise two point five billion dollars from the sale of trans gas to the russian gas monopoly gas prom decision may be regretted in the future get to. a state monopoly but at the moment look the shrinkers government to set the priority as raising cash. term parking thank you very much for this indeed and let's not have a look at the markets quoted just first or is slightly low investors are still concerned about possible supply shortages france has proposed a european embargo on imports from iran after the international atomic energy agency says the country may still be developing a nuclear weapon whether this is being offset by i think we've become a mixed picture which is weighing on fruit. european markets a lower hungary has become the latest in line of e.u.
