larger marty thousands gather on cairo's tahrir square for mass protests planned as a final call for military rulers to hand over power as the most violent rallies in egypt since mubarak's four into this second week. and once those regimes are overthrown a pandora's box is opened france's fresh initiatives are set of a humanitarian corridor in syria is widely seen as a first step towards military intervention in the country that's been ripped apart by violence we could report about coming up. but preparations in place for a possible escalation of violence in northern kosovo local serbs say nato backed

forces broke earlier agreements by trying to tear down a border barricade that's a move that's led to fierce clashes two. nine pm friday night here in moscow this is r t thanks for being with us our top story than cairo's tahrir square is packed with people gathered for friday prayers with the threat of continued violence hanging in the air two recent clashes have seen more than forty people killed since saturday as angry protesters are calling for the military authorities to hand over power to a civilian government polis lee has got the latest from cairo. the situation can still tense and still very unpredictable i've been walking around the strait for hundreds of people they all died today last chance friday but there's a difference of opinion difference in opinions in terms of how today will pan out

some of the protests up in talking to say that they're very fearful that they will in violence tonight that the whole situation will the same into an alky and chaos but on the other hand the just as many protesters out in talking to he said that they can even today will mark the end of this whole phase as they term it these approaches to supplant one hundred one votes in the parliamentary elections they feel that the army should be given a chance that there is also a group of them to distance from here we are hearing are planning a much tougher to square that if indeed these markets who are close to military come have and they clash with the majority of people here who are not from going to teach we could see violent clashes now the fascists are still standing by their original to march and that is for the army to stick stance immediately the honest response was that this would be a trail that is quote the trussell party that they've been given and so in line with the success of this appointed a new prime minister gamal guns army was part of the current era has done little to

convince people here that the army is serious about france for we follow the sentiment is a sign of anger because of the human rights watch that the test being used by the security forces has been banned internationally not that people here needed human rights mixed up in the system confirmation but people have been believing for the past week course even from work officials that at least twenty two people who were killed were killed by live rounds which couple supposed to make many of them die from a single one of wounds to the french they changed the same time we're hearing that a lot of the fire that killed these protesters came from above so this does seem to suggest that the army and the police are using snipers the white house says it's. that a statement in which it is urged that minutely he hand over power vicki to civilian government but other than that the international community has largely been mum about what is happening here in egypt in stark contrast to the way they reacted to

the violence in syria just yesterday the arab league meeting here in climate and instead of discussing the protests in the demonstrations here they focused on what is happening in syria been given an ultimatum to damascus to x. fifty a five hundred strong are deserve a mission and we're not hearing reports that the masters have missed a good line i would just have to get it's not of agreement that it would allow this observer mission to come forward if indeed this is true the arab league has written that it will slap a whole photo of harsh sanctions on the country the difference of reactions by the international community to egypt and syria have led many to call this the proper sleep and double standards. because closely following the situation in car you can read the latest updates on our team's twitter feed and one of the latest messages she's reporting your brother growing anxiety in cairo knows a third female reporters been sexually assaulted in tahrir square serious allegations check out supporters feed for yourself or her jewelry tweets of the

school caught. the muslim brotherhood an islamic group considered terrorists for several countries is likely to pick up a bunch of seats in the egyptian parliamentary elections political analyst dr marcus perfect office says if the western supported revolution seizes the mistake power there's no going back. if the people vote them in the people vote them in and they are very very popular you know it could be another sort of like in the gaza strip where five or six years ago most people in the gaza strip voted for hamas. democratically and the west attitude as being to shun harass and then so i can honestly see what they could do if the if it was think if muslim brotherhood comes to power they come to power of course if that was to happen then you could see in a few years' time. or the british press western press talking about how awful the regime is there how dangerous that is and then you're back to

a situation again where there's discussions about nato airstrikes against the chips and the tariff flush but comes up in cross talk later paid to people of yes discuss the new uprising and how the u.s. and other western players are reacting. before the second chance now they've had a chance to rehearse what they could have said in the case of. fluff that because they have absolutely no kind of consistency they have no real policy and they have no real direction what they're hoping at the moment is somehow that the military will gain control and ensure a more kind of snot transition in favor of their own interests and outlooks for the reason. syria now faces punishing sanctions from the arab league as a diplomat for the body says damascus ignored friday's deadline to accept foreign observers meanwhile france is actively seeking international support for a humanitarian corridor or to be set up in

a crisis to country it's also the first time a major power was formally called for foreign intervention in the uprising against president the sad but there are questions now about efforts go to from paris artie's test reseller. well people have thanks to the libyan intervention of french president nicolas sarkozy bad destroying a first for his country first call for a day 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 secure zone to protect civilians and first to indorse the exiled opposition syrian national council plans are found human thing brings in this very very powerful very high beam and because most of the left and most of the right about that and sarkozy has the saviour's there venison 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 winds and sweeping popularity at home is what sarkozy needs if he intends to let the french decide his fate as president and the two thousand and twelve elections it's trying president nicolas sarkozy talks about the syrian craziest and it's. very key because you know he's 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 at afi 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 scenarios some warn it could be repeated in syria 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 in the people themselves critics of 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 french leadership are putting its for down and planting a flag ahead of everyone else french assertion is not entirely welcome by syrians themselves a lot of opponents actually would not welcome. wetton was his or even turkish forces so you can be an opponent of the regime and against warring intervention and for all the gains france is sarkozy may get out of the 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 sell your r.t. brussels. it's now thought the u.s. is redeployed its newest aircraft carrier from the persian gulf to the syrian coast washington's also urging american citizens to leave syria immediately some experts believe that the move could be seen as a further step towards a military intervention although the grounds been prepared for that for some time. the u.s. cannot go in unilaterally in a military fashion because there are a coalition of countries or what i call the axis powers countries which are the us britain france and israel are acting in concert and supplying the rebels in syria who are all from syria the free syrian army is just over the syrian border in turkey recent reports from major newspapers have cited this force that fifteen thousand strong this is in direct violation of international law and western powers

cannot back a rebel military force working against the government in syria which is a legitimate government coming up soon europe's money continues to draw i presume vestas take flight. personally i think the whole thing will break up it's proved to be unworkable and britain is getting ready for it too with the country's chief regulator making plans in case of a euro split scenario. or a short tonight. russ and bellow asylum archaeology deal those gets a heavy discount on gas supplies in return russia takes on a hundred percent ownership of its neighbors pakistan plans for more protests about . tensions run high on board with northern kosovo's neither of the conflicting sides is prepared to rule out a further escalation of violence local serbs say nato forces are to blame for breaking an agreement by trying to remove a barricade that was blocking the way to one of a number of disputed checkpoints there the violent clashes that left dozens injured

on both sides are physical growth it's got the details from kosovo. last night passed here in northern koslow without violence does not mean that the source of tension has disappeared two nights ago on the twenty third in a two back a false drive to remove a barricade has been put up by the ethnic servin minority here it was met was stiff resistance tear gas was used more than twenty people were injured and the operation by take a call had to be abandoned now yesterday we drove around the area and these barricades which have been up here for around four months still are there manned by people and people say no they're not going to abandon them and they're planning to put up even more of them now that untrained eye these roadblocks these barricades just seem like piles of rubble a majority constructed and nobody would think that will be a cause of such a bitter conflict but in order to understand why i did here we need to go back to

july as we know the serbian people here the ethnic serbs are in a minority only constitute about ten percent of the population of course of oh since kosovo has been recognized by several countries they've also lost any kind of legal status they still consider themselves citizens of serbia and they still consider land a part of serbia of course the majority albanian possibles do not consider their territories to be independent but so far at least they have been allowed a measure of star sufficiency emersion independence and inability to be in contact freely with the mainland serbs now in july became a threat to this albanian serb and they wanted to control the customs control all the goods and all because coming into the area now the serbs didn't just see this as a formality this orders as an infringement of their remaining freedoms they're calling this a slippery slope first control because them's perhaps control of the police coming

in here and being able to control the territory and finally the remainder of the serbian population at first they've been of these barricades to pull. and this happening supposedly a compromise solution was found where instead of the albanians being able to take control of customs this control would go to the native like a for good or service they did not trust before they said that the case for is basically protecting albanian interests and the kind of clash the resort denied before the case was trying to remove the barricades for the serbs here. illustration of where their priorities lie across political growth and of course we're keeping you updated with all the developments in northern kosovo we just heard from eager in fact is there the moment we stream your tweets as he sends in the latest we've got is him saying that it's not just the standoff with nato backed forces plaguing the lives of people in a serbian product also right now they're also suffering from constant kristie blackouts which is forcing the crowd around five because it's dark it's cold we're
