which bryson. from violence to his. stance on t.v. don't come. 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 fall into this second week. once those regimes are overthrown a pandora's box is open france's fresh initiative is sort 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. and preparations are in place for a possible escalation of violence in northern kosovo local serbs say nato bug forces broke earlier agreements by trying to tear down a border barricade that's

a move it's led to fierce clashes. hello ten pm friday night here in moscow you're watching r t my name is kevin zero in our top story cairo's tahrir square is packed with people gathered for friday prayers these are the latest live pictures coming through from from there now get a look at but the threat of continued violence still hangs in the air recent clashes have seen more than forty people killed since saturday as angry protesters call for the military authorities to hand over power to civilian government culture fall asleep she's live in cairo for us paula as we can see that darkness is now falling car over hands of thousands again as we can see remain out there in the square behind you give us a sense of the atmosphere now and what's next in the. well as you can see behind

me it is now docked here and as you say tens of thousands of protesters a far cry from the million that the organizers had hopeful that a substantial amount nonetheless now the rallying point here is much the same people wanting the military to step down immediately and a military despite the concession of appointing come out guns ari as the new prime minister has done little to meet the demands of the people the prime minister has spoken for the first time live on television he said he would not have accepted this position if he did not believe the military was sincere about handing over power he was to say that he has more powers than his predecessor the violence has continued although not a good nevers we've witnessed in the past few days as you can hear behind me there are ambulances screeching past the cuban rights groups have also said that in addition to the fact that the army and the police were using live ammunition many of those who became ill were killed while trying to help others we also now hearing

sad reports that families have been gathering at cairo's main mortuary tied into five their loved ones many of them sobbing and urging a message to western leaders to stop sending the bombs gas and weapons because they leaders are killing them from within now with me i have one of the protesters who is behind this he is and should be for joseph risk who is a founding member of the new republic group sharif how will all of the stand i mean we see such knowledge crowds here what is it what is it going to take to get people off tough to square well let's be clear this is the beginning of the new wave of the revolution the revolution was not about removing barak it was about removing mubarak has him and that's basically the security state being the ministry of interior plus the army we've been under army rule for sixty years and that's what we're trying to get rid of and i think that it will depend on can we

keep. but the momentum in the square that's one side the other side is going to happen while the elections are taking place but more importantly will there be defections from within the system from within the army from within the judiciary from the media the state media from all of those state institutions which were tightly controlled why does the appointment of a new prime minister change nothing well ironically they appointed a prime minister that was what from ninety six to ninety nine he represented all of the the dark policies of mubarak the far right economic policies. you know he has of him because of him there were a number of the rise in unemployment in egypt. a lot of what's attributed to the economic or disparate disparity is it was attributed to cause he's like has plus of course his human rights abuses with the slums what is happening with the muslim brotherhood i mean they were one of the main organizers of these demonstrations back in january february and now they no longer represented here. but the muslim

brotherhood weren't there before on friday just for a quick timetable of the handover to civilian rule. there however are not there to end the elections what this is becomes this is grown so much what has happened is that this is challenged the legitimacy of scarf altogether which of course challenges their election timetables and their constitutional declarations the referendum everything we're starting from zero zero so for them this of course they have much to lose. and not only are they starting from zero bet on monday will see a return to the parliamentary elections one of the big questions here is the role of tear gas over the past week and here we are hearing from human rights groups that as possible eagle substance has been used another growing concern is just how safe it is full of women reporters and a woman put taste as in tough to square at least three female journalists have been sexually assaulted and i can tell you that walking around town here just. time is

that i was feeling incredibly unsafe much more i see it then i have been feeling over the past few days was the offense to bring you some live well middle east correspondent and the terror flushed comes up in cross talk to you on this child within an hour's time people of elders guest discuss the new uprising and how the u.s. and other western players are reacting right now. if the second chance now they've had a chance to rehearse what they could have said in the case of this is fluff that because they have absolutely nor kind of consistency they have nor real policy and they have not in direction and 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 our looks for that is that. syria now faces punishing sanctions from the arab league as a diplomat from the body says damascus ignored friday's deadline to accept foreign

observers we were france is actively seeking international support for a humanitarian corridor now to be set up in a crisis torn country it's also the first time a major power was formally called for foreign intervention in the uprising against president assad and there are questions too about piracy is go to efforts at least test recent reports. the people of thanks to the libyan intervention of french president nicolas sarkozy back to string a first for his country first to 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 but first western nations suggest an international ground intervention in syria calling for a quote secured zone to protect civilians and first to indorse the exiled opposition syrian national council the fences are found human thing is very very

popular agreement between most of the left and most of the hype about that and sarkozy. intervention so it seems to me that is more even more aggressive than obama would be even though he doesn't have the military strength. 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 to placate them chris of course he took some of the syrian crisis he's popular is popular because you know he's really really. bad situation when will you come to terms of course he's using the same craziness as a way to. to work to be seen as proactive 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 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 a 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 the people themselves critics or francis lawrence move of raise the question of whether any foreign intervention in syria without a will and the watch that a lot of countries have taken a slightly more cautious step that the french leadership are putting it down and planting it supply out of everyone else french assertion is not entirely welcome by syrians themselves a lot of opponents in syria actually would not welcome need to be. forces or

even. indeed opponents of the regime and against boring intervention and for all the games france is 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 class or cilia r t brussels. thought the u.s. is redeployed its newest aircraft carrier from the persian gulf to the syrian coast washington is 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 grown has 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 stated this force that fifteen thousand strong this is in direct violation of international law the western powers cannot back a rebel military force working against the government in syria which is a legitimate government coming up just a little later europe's money continues to dry up as investors run for the hills. 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 of making plans in case of a euro split scenario because more shortly plus. the us and bellow asylum acknowledge a deal guy was gets a heavy discount on gas supplies in return russia takes on a hundred percent ownership of its neighbors capital system plans for more of the. tensions run high on serbia's border with northern kosovo is neither of the conflicting sides is prepared to rule out a further escalation of violence local serbs 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 move prompted violent clashes that left dozens injured on both sides not easy go good news got the latest 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 may to back a false tried to remove a barricade that has been put up by the ethnic serve in minority here it was made was stiff resistance tear gas was used more than twenty people were injured and the operation by the cake all 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 manned by people and people say no they're not going to abandon them and planning to put up even more of them now that are on trains these roadblocks these barricades just seem like piles of rubble

a majority constructed and nobody would think that would be a cause of such a bitter conflict but in order to understand why they appear 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 kosovo since because of what 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 the north consider their territories to be independent but so far at least they have been allowed a measure of self-sufficiency a measure of independence and an ability to be in contact freely with the mainland serbs now in july became a threat to this albanian certain that 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 they sort of as an infringement of their remaining freedoms they're

calling this a slippery slope first the control of the customs and perhaps control of the police coming in here and being able to control the territory and finally the remained of the serbian population at first they put out these barricades to prevent this happening but then 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 baquet for good or service they did not trust for they said it became for basically protecting albanian interests and the kind of clash that we saw the night before when the case was trying to move the barricades put a search here that's a clear illustration of where their priorities lie. we go grodner reporting for us there of course we'll keep you updated on the latest happening in northern kosovo. we just heard from is streaming his tweets back as they send now we go says it's not just the standoff with nato about forces plaguing lives of people in the heart
