their basic rights such as local self administration was asked why president who did it has ordered them to be provided with humanitarian aid but also help rebuild orthodox churches russia will continue its diplomatic efforts to help protect the interests of serbs living in kosovo. that was russia's response to a play by the serbs to grant them russian citizenship thousands had submitted their signatures to the russian embassy in belgrade correspondent travel to kosovo to see why many for such a drastic measure. once led to war george which first started walking around the roads of kosovo with his writing he paid attention after all he was just an elderly refugee a man who lost his job as a lawyer and his home when he was driven out of by kosovo albanians and nine hundred ninety nine now everyone here knows who he is since the summer earn one hundred thousand people almost at the cost of the serbs signed up for his petition

their cause a plea for russian citizenship. we don't want to live in russia but belgrade is two weeks to protect us the minority here that's why we hope that russia will step in to help us same as the americans and the europeans have supported the interests of the albanians in kosovo postmen the use of which rich constant blackouts low wages and ethnic violence are normal part of life here yet he says he will not believe nor will his three children because this is where they spend their entire lives for him citizenship as a last resort. we live in constant fear that every year we see greater and greater intentions from the albanians to drive us out even of the few areas where there are still some countries being recognized by the west but we are no part of it just like belgrade moscow has refused to recognize the albanian controlled kosovo as an independent state pulling its conflict was serbia in one thousand nine hundred nine

and a declaration of independence three years ago and that petition has gained attention in moscow it is but this is an unprecedented outpouring of desire to become russian citizens so there is no past guidance on how to deal with this situation where we do think this is alarming and it's. rich result of how western forces have tried to deal with the problem partly bring one of the sides meanwhile serbs in kosovo continue to build barricades around their pockets of population ready to stay off anyone trying to force them out whatever the rights and wrongs of the conflict that happened here in nine hundred ninety nine you can't help but feel for the serbian minority here in northern kosovo surrounded by hostility increasingly abandoned by belgrade ignored by the international community so the police the russians as a jew perhaps should be taken literally for the side of just how desperate the situation has become you go girl see kosovo. live from moscow this is

r.t. still ahead for you this hour the first hurdle greece's technocrats are having their leadership tested early by a massive strike with thousands on a walkout over more cards to secure yet another bailout. and we can it's releases hundreds of spidey files exposing how a person smartphone computer and evil facebook account make an easy target for the secret services those stories still to come. the first foreign ministers from europe have agreed to impose fresh sanctions against iran over its controversial nuclear program ahead of the talks in brussels british foreign secretary william hague called for increased economic pressure and isolation on iran's financial sector across syria as well. well coming out of the e.u. foreign affairs council today fresh actions indeed have been put on iran specifically on thirty nine individuals and one hundred forty one organizations they've been put on a sanctions list of asset freezes as well as these events this is

a rather watered down version of what some countries in the e.u. would have wanted to begin with for example the u.k. and germany have been calling for definitely stronger sanctions and earlier this week france had been urging e.u. countries to immediately impose acid free of asset freeze on the central bank of iran as well as a suspend imports of oil from the country however this didn't go down well with some countries such as spain and greece and italy because they significantly rely on rain at all and they have said there would be no sanctions on oil in iraq as that this is coming at a time when there economies are already battered as it is so divisions among the u. countries clearly this is coming on the back of course of an angry a u.k. after hardliners had stormed the embassy in tehran in the u.k. had already withdrawn its ambassador to the country and this move was followed by france germany and the netherlands in support of that in support of the u.k.'s move in showing their condemnation of that attack on the embassy now all of this again

is coming after that i.e. a report that came out early this month in november so this is still part of that big umbrella where they want to introduce fresh sanctions because that report suggests that iran had been pursuing nuclear ambitions which is not peaceful this is something that has vehemently and has repeatedly denied it so so silly their own polo referred me from the italian think tank the sea i.p.i. foundation told me earlier he thinks the west is trying to reshuffle the whole middle east. the entire situation is very very strange i mean we are in the presence of activities on the iranian soil which look like the beginning of a sort of war type relationship and it's not really sure they want to regina change in iran it is a chess game iran is a key player for the shaping of the entire middle east and the united states know very well that without iran they will not shape the middle east middle east that in

the new concept the geopolitical conception is much bigger than the original one that we knew from the nineteenth century. description so it is an area that goes from afghanistan down to even morocco so all this area has to be reshaped i do not think there is an interest from the major western country which is the united states to engage in any warfare with iran that this stage and in the interest of a number of european countries to go any farther. the e.u. is also ramping up the pressure on iran's allies syria imposing a fresh set of sanctions on individuals and businesses there it comes in the wake of punitive measures from the arab league aimed at halting the violent crackdown on anti-government protesters specifically already the sanctions economic un human rights when he says over four thousand people have been killed in more than eight months of unrest and see the latest figure comes just a day before an emergency un meeting on the crisis earlier this week

a un report accused government forces of committing crimes against humanity in their actions against demonstrators. greece has grown to a halt as public service employees walk out of a new paid cuts job suspensions and an emergency property tax protests as the first major test for the new technocrat leadership in athens which secured the next e.u. bailout tranche by pledging to go forward with austerity thousands of people went out in athens main square where the strike closed schools disrupted public transport and at hospitals rely on emergency stand on wednesday the military affairs chief warned the eurozone is just ten days to stabilize the single currency and the crisis meanwhile the european central bank said it's ready to play a bigger role but nations should try their budgetary policies closer together financial analysts you handed over belt says that economic governance is needed the country's sovereignty could be sacrificed in the process. the sense of urgency certainly has not only to do with greece is it has to do with what is happening

overall in the monetary union there are a lot of countries under pressure don't forget for example the situation of portugal the spain problem is also very much on the table and then of course there is the italian problem it's very basic you can't have a functioning monetary union without a political you that's a choice you have to make and you can't have one without the other that has been very much proven now in the last two years after crisis what we do lack is political authority now of. course that needs to be build up democratically but we have cornered ourselves so much in this euro crisis that we don't have the time left to build up the political union in a normal democratic way so we will have to do it in another way that is through the representatives of the different countries being the heads of governments of the different countries it still leaves a lot of questions with respect to the democratic value of all this on the table

but there is no more choice either you do that or you let the euro and the monetary union go down the drain. kimo stories and videos for at r.t. don't come as a taste for you should you log on right now and by the roots the last remaining european country to watch all the death sentence hands down the ultimate punishment for two men guilty of a metro terror attack. and a robin hood policy to groups which infiltrated the un server have joined forces to still from the banks in order to give to charities a more alert story had to come close watch all of our best videos on you tube channel. is. to.

and they detail what wiki leaks is calling a mass surveillance that's going on on a global scale they say that ten years ago this is an industry that really didn't exist but that nine eleven provides essentially a license for companies to start developing spying systems basically affect all of us now there are one hundred sixty companies in twenty different countries all developing this software and it's an industry that's completely on regulated i just sort of bring it down to the basics julian assange said you know he did a quick survey around the room in this press conference that we were up this morning and he said who here owns an i phone or uses g. mail or has a blackberry and that's the hand up and he says basically you know you are under surveillance and that is without a doubt these systems are able to spy on e-mail they're able to track track what you look at on the internet they able to track keystrokes what you search for in a google search for example and tell our inherently tracking devices in their own

right you're carrying around a device that enables people to where you are any given time there's also software that can be remotely installed on your telephone to record conversations that you have and also raising it to take photographs of you and whoever you are with and said if you ever want to see the relevant agencies the cia apparently has is using software which can detect a voice print in much it instantly. who it is you're speaking to identify callers on the telephone and in fact our source has been working on this for some time and he told me when i interviewed him some months ago that facebook was a perfect tool for the cia the cia to search and track anything that was going on for your face. this is software that's being made by western companies and it's not being used anymore to track individuals they they were at pains to point out that it's used to track whole communities whole ethnic groups whole nations surveillance on an industrial scale and that sounds didn't have any advice to us as to how we

no resolution the european commissioner did say that amendments could be considered energy package next year and this is crucial for russia because the package does require the separation of gas transit production and supply going against everything that russia's gas mostly gas from the stands for not the same time europe is currently trying to build its own pipeline trying to lessen its dependence on russia its main gas supplier and this is seen as the main rival to russia's south soon project even though russia insists it's far more efficient than the buccal pipeline does have europe's seal of approval so right now russia and gas wells are trying to get the trans european network status for south stream which will increase confidence in european investors many analysts believe that everyone should leave we will see a compromise from both sides because not only is a europe essential to russia to maintain its profits but europe itself sees
