The 1st that some, a turmoil ensued populated areas. As belgrade said, the breakaway republic plans to start Police Operations there with phoebe and president calling for the escalation. I believe we will have good news. I hope that there will be the escalation tomorrow, and that we will reach peace with new compromised solutions. I want to thank those who supported serbia, those who are correct and express correct views. I especially want to thank the representatives of the ministry of Foreign Affairs of the russian federation, who reacted in a very correct way. Slating on line reportedly from crossover shows Police Vehicles on the move reportedly towards the northern border with serbia. Sounds of gunshots are heard the legend. He in the police who said that they are there, but there have been no casualties. The brakes were publics. Police have close to Border Crossing for serbia. Future road blocks that have been set up. I served protest as the simon so whos in the city of metro, if its in kosovo, where if mc serbian and obedient populations are divided by a river, but it is against the move to ban. Serbian car documents have hit up barricades and of close the bridge connecting the 2 side. Meanwhile, italian troops who are part of nato named peacekeeping forces in the region were seen in the city as the blocks forces in cost of a say that they are ready to intervene in the 10. 00 situation is, comes the soviet earlier, denied report of moving into the region due to the large amount of misinformation that the priest administration intentionally puts on the air and that is being spread through fake accounts on social networks and certain websites.

The recent turmoil in the contested region started as the plans were stated, the self proclaimed Public Officials to ban sapient car document from august. The 1st it was to also make serbian citizens intern cost over get special documents and permission and now or the plan for postponed until september, flooding you. Chris lyman, a serbian politician and diplomat, gives us his take on the origins of the dispute. And the reason that it can be solved peacefully. Its based in authoritys lab by, by, by the, by, i want to the guy who is attempting to do misuse the moment when russia and serbia is not or lies the most popular in the west. So he probably expected that hes unilateral actions will be let go and wont be prevented. The west is being very, very successful in ukraine. So, and other france would be another risk for them. And a Prime Minister of so called the independent clause. So is no loan for ease, extreme is approaches and is not always completely obedient to the washington and the was at least not the expense which we used to see with his predecessors. We still have to be cautious and, and still to see how that our situation will develop. In the coming days, the International Community has been quick to react to the escalation in serbia. Nation has already stressed its readiness to intervene in the country with the you Foreign Policy chief stating that the european block will help to regulate the conflicts. Open issues should be address 3 you facilitated dialogue and focus on comprehensive normalization of relations between cosco and serbia. Essential for their you integration, pulse, the Kosovo Forces prepared to intervene if stability is jeopardized in the north of kosovo. Nato also continues to fully support the normalization process between pristine and belgrade, through the u. Facilitated dialogue and calls all parties to continue negotiations. The coast of a force will take whatever measures are necessary to keep a safe and secure environment in kosovo at all time in line with its un mandate. While its class live now, has there been american journalist from blogger . Natasha mileage. Thank you so much for joining us. The self proclaimed republic, of course, has agreed to postpone a ban on serbian con documents and license plates until september. The 1st. What do you think will happen then . Well, it depends on who is really pulling the strings. The decision to postpone this was undertaken after due with them bassinger advised the to the governments appreciate which does generally whatever the americans tell it to. I initially thought when the crisis 1st broke out on sunday morning that this was actually a move by the United States through the ethnic albanian government to open up some kind of 2nd front to distract from the situation and ukraine. However, towards the end of the day, it became increasingly obvious that it was not even the Prime Minister who had just been to washington and had been seated in celebrated by secretary lincoln and the state department. It seems that he actually decided to act unilaterally make a move on this and the ferocity of the response from serbia as well as the russian for miss re sent a message that they will not just roll over and tolerate this. At which point, the American Ambassador impression, i said, well ok, theres been some misinformation misunderstanding. Electric postponed is for a month and continue to go see ations and see if we can work it out peacefully. So in this case, it seems like the christian and its western bankers blinked. Im not sure they will do that again. Do you think that the sperm will actually help de escalate the situation . Or is it really just postponing essentially kicking the can down the road . In the obviously it is kicking the can down the road by depending on what washington wants in this situation, and that will sort of determine how the Ethnic Albanians act. It might at least freeze the conflict a little longer. Serbia, from everything that ive seen is fine with the conflict remaining, get status quo. Theyre not the they just, they are not willing to recognize the breaking the progress is independent. There is no serbian government that i, that i can see possibly being put together that would survive such remove at home. But they were willing to keep negotiating infinitely. If thats what you know. Lets keep relatively decent relations with the west. Its t e u, and specifically the u. S. That have recently started pressuring them to do so. Its sort of a prerequisite. So its, its recognizing co, someone sanctioning russia that are to prerequisites for them to progress on their path of hypothetical path of european integration, which is not going to happen for at least another 5 to 10 years at best, especially given the current problems in the u. And thats not even bringing the ukraine conflict into into consideration. So its, its literally the government, the government that is in a rush to do something because they dont really have solutions to internal problems. And as president trumps former envoy, richard cornell, who had negotiated some economic agreements 2 years ago, let loose in a tirade on twitter on sunday evening. This is entirely courteous, doing, trying to distract from his domestic failures. What do you make the comment by the serbian president earlier where hes stated that his country will win, that could be a will win if his people are persecuted. Just take a listen to what he said in a more difficult and tough situation than today. Why have i said that the prestige regime is trying by presenting itself as a victim to exploit the mood in the world. All i can say is that we will ask for peace, but i will tell you right away, there will be no surrender. And serbia will win if they tried to start persecuting the serbs, bullying the serbs, killing the serbs. Serbia will win. What do you think he meant by his statement . So i understood it as a clear message that a belgrade will not allow another 2004 another 1999 to happened in 1999. When you saw military retreated and handed the province over to nato. According to the un brokered armistice, nato was supposed to safeguard everybody, but instead they turned a province over to the ethnic. Ill be in the militants, and over 200000 people, mostly serbs, but as well as other non albanians were forced to leave. And in 2004, in order to pressured International Community and granting corso independence, some 50000 obedience rampaged across the province, were almost a week before the american peacekeepers. Finally, the, you know, told them to stop and other peacekeepers couldnt do it, couldnt or wouldnt do anything about it. And so i think go good to try and send the message that the will actually use force if necessary to defend the remaining serbs there. And there, and there civil and human rights, and again, with, with russia backing up belgrade on this, it may have tipped the scales enough to inform, pushed in and its western backwards were again, the actual Decision Makers here that you know, this is not the kind of fight, they want to pick right now. Perhaps theyll try again in a month. Im not sure. But a lot of a lot of things can change until then. And at the same time, we are hearing from the nature of the peacekeeping force and cos over which has announced that it is ready to intervene. So whats your take on that . What will it take to kick start their involvement . Well, it depends on what they mean by intervention. I mean, theyve already, if the car, if the news about the carbon years being deployed along the bridge is correct. Theyre already trying to separate the 2 sides. And this bridge is sort of been a sight of many battles between Ethnic Albanians and the local serbs. And if theyre, if theyre policing, the bridge, that means theyre trying to stop another program which is good, which is great. Theres about 3500. 00 or so nato troops in their, their function is purely symbolic. You, if, you know, if the, i think ill be decided to stage another insurgency and attack the remaining serves. I dont think there was political will or military readiness by nato to stop them. Their job is essentially to intimidate serbia from trying to retake, also by force. But there is no political will for military readiness to do so. In belgrade. And of course, the country has had a difficult past of natos intervention. What do you think are the chances that were looking at a situation where history repeats itself . It is not 999. 00 any longer. The world has changed and not just because of what happened over the past 6 months, but because whats been happening for the past 25 years. And so if, if the p, p, if nato thinks that they can repeat what happened in 1909 and that they can, you know, bomb for 78 days the country with impunity. I think they even, they dont think that today anymore. So i dont, i think the conflict has not been resolved much. Some people would like to pretend to was, but it hasnt been and that i think both sides are sort of trying to maneuver and position themselves and create a free i completed would help them in the current changing world situation. And so the indians are trying to fortify their position just in case american power. Smiths, where the serbs are sort of biting their time, expecting the russian power to grow. And its a 0 sum game. Unfortunately. And looking at that, there were some game weve heard from the Foreign Policy chief who stated that the relation between serbia and the self proclaimed republic of cost of a has to be established with the blocks help in your opinion, does the e you have a right to intrude into what is essentially so the as internal affairs. So the, you appointed itself sort of a legal guardian of course, of all with this whole legal mission. And theyre under the present arrangement. They technically delegate the viceroy there that the un viceroy. But the irony of the situation is the breath comes from spain and spain is one of the 5 you remember states that did not recognize, call civil because that precedent, madrid fears that this precedent would encourage their own separate just in catalonia. So you honestly cannot broker this because theyve already said their bottom line is, serbia must recognize social, but 5 you members themselves do not. So the block is really sort of an a paradoxical position and they dont have a leg to stand on. And besides everybody, everybody in the region as, as well as elsewhere, know that the obedience answer directly to the u. S. And its really the americans the want negotiate with in order to resolve the conflict. And so you, you basically have the service and the obedience locked in, that mutual struggle. And then you have the us and russia as sort of, you know, big brothers on both sides. And theres currently obviously very strong proxy conflict between them and the balkans risks getting dragged into that because of the crisis in ukraine. And that further complicates things as you correctly say. The conflict is far from being solved and the timing, although you say, might not be significant. Certainly interesting. Where will be keeping an eye on this . Natasha malicious, serbian american journalist and blogger. Thank you very much for joining us here on our t. Thanks for having me. When term is coming, as the Energy Crisis hits countries across europe prior to the coldest part of the year, residence of germanys largest island were asked to the whole of the north stream to pipeline calling for to be put into operation. Oh, and i have some questions for german is government and the you what problems do you have with russia . A war crimes country you say in that case, you should also have the same problems with the u. S. Where do we want to get gas from . Then saudi arabia, thats a dictatorship to the power of 3. We might as well not do that. So avoid harming your own people. Open nord stream to and then its all good. This minute and a lot of money has been invested in nord stream too. And now its just lying around russia and germany just have to find a compromise and talk to each other. Thats always the case and theres no other way than i do think that the north stream to pipeline has to be completed. A lot of money has gone into it, including from our state. And i am of the opinion that it should be put into operation. Were always talking about the gas crisis and were always told that the gas crisis was caused by others. I dont see that way. I think if we put the pipeline into operation, that his match gas could flow as we need building them frontier, we dont know if it goes while elsewhere. Gemini, the city of hanover has cattle hot water in public buildings in fear of a shortage of gas during the season with buildings for quite a heating. It comes as gas from the t says north phase one Pipeline Capacity to a me a 5th of its total g to siemens, refusing to return a turbine in the process, delivering less gas to you. It as the Energy Situation between russia and the u intensifies over the ukraine crisis. The pipeline is a major route for russian gas to europe. Meanwhile, environmental activists are concerned that a rush to buy firewood in the netherlands could lead to a determination in quality. But its just a statistic. So sales of woodstock have increased by around 30 percent. As many people fear Energy Prices could sky rocket while infant land shops are expected to close for several hours each day for Winter Energy saving purposes. Here, however, is not the only continent in the throes of an Energy Crisis, with more and more south Asian Countries now severely hit ortiz, Rachel Blevins looks at the Energy Situation in some of the worlds poorest economies. Energy cost continues or around the world and while europe and the us are typically in the spotlight, the growing crisis is making conditions even worse for the nations in south asia. Take bangladesh, for example, which has been forced to schedule power cuts for its residence. The developing nation relies heavily on Energy Imports from the middle east, and it is feeling the crushing combination of increased prices and decreased supply and energy isnt the only costs rising with inflation soaring to its highest points. As 2013, the countrys economy continues to struggle and hundreds have taken to the streets to protest against their government and its response to the crisis. The, the, the International Monetary fund has said its considering offering bangladesh alone that will feel like temporary relief. And it has also said that sites on tree longer, which is already seen its share of mass protest. Its all, some officials believe from the country and right on cue. The last sri lankan president angered the public when he didnt agree to another deal from the i and math, but sri lanka, new leader says he has made a deal and hes hoping it will help address the current economic crisis that has seen inflation sore to over 60 percent, to avoid even more protests like the ones the country has already seen. Ah. In due to the economic crisis, it is impossible to live in tr longer if there were better political leaders. This wouldnt have happened. That eminem. There is no income for my family these days, so i decided to send my son to the middle east so he can have a better life there. I am unemployed at the moment but i used to have a hotel. I have 2 children and i dont know how to feed them on may wonder if sri lanka will be able to get out of his current debt crisis with the help of an organization that has long bee
