kosovo serbian foreign minister and his course of our counterpart flew into new york for this our emergency meeting that was called for by serbia and supported by russia now serbia is urging the council to prevent kosovo's ethnic albanian authorities from using force in northern cool that is an area populated by ethnic serbs that close to the house and plans to send its custom officials and security forces to the border up to to take it over violence between ethnic serbs and albanians erupted there in july that violence killed one person and wounded several others russian ambassador vitaly churkin says kosovar albanians have threatened to use force ambassador churkin says that nato peacekeepers in the area he believes could be cooperated with the plans of the kosovar albanians

rather than preventing danger from breaking out we have serious concerns about where the little this is going and the minister getting get it very clear that the . entire proposition of european union playing this mediating role in a dialogue between priest and i and belgrade is maybe put in question so this sudden departure from the dialogue at the moment when it was beginning to show some promise promise in our view is completely unjustified unwarranted and that eventually. now it was back in two thousand and eight when kosovo unilaterally declared its independence with the support of the united states and western european countries this is something that was not approved by the security council in russia was one of the security council members that warns there would be escalating tensions to follow for years once the unilateral decision was made

outside the boundaries of the united nations specifically the security council now we see years later that this is coming true and this is something that the international community is clearly has their hands full with and still does not know how to ease tensions but this is this is an international issue that russia serbia and many other countries believe needs to be addressed now before violence escalates and further more european oh many of his later years america's defense shield is going to go you can't really count on that under a dollar basis because washington says only that and safety. even so say that. back in. one thousand miles from the north pole. the mistake you're on

a trip to spitzbergen on could probably go. twenty years after the u.s.s.r. scolar the subregion real life is still going strong. when the world's most statue of lenin presides over a ghost. it. has become a cure for those overcome by the cold war in the style of. the close up special edition on our. rebel forces claim they're advancing colonel get out his hometown one of the last loyalists last year several thousand opposition fighters i and tanks and heavy weapons have reportedly launched an offensive on the city they managed to reach. but were met by rocket fire from happy supporters meanwhile britain's prime

minister who visited the country along with france's president sarkozy sent a strong message to followers of libya's all regime to give up the fight both leaders warn that nations mission against the forces will continue as long as they feel it's necessary which they say is to protect civilians asking for more on what some called political grandstanding of two politicians. these two leaders have become the first foreign hads of state to visit gadhafi freely not surprisingly though these two nato countries have played a prominent a crucial role in the libyan revolution backed by the alliance which will lead to the fall of gadhafi and to the end all for the almost forty two year long dictatorship here in leave these countries were those pushing for in later action actually for a military operation to leave it and french warplanes was the first to fly in the air campaign the timing of the space of this very strange because it looks like. a

leader is came to tripoli to leave here to take part in celebrations of the rebels while fighting is still continuing and people are still dying not only stradley beer they still remain pockets of the loyalists but here in tripoli in the capital city pretty much divided right now we've seen many people have been flags and carrying banners thank you so because you think you france think. what you've done. dictatorship but they rust to areas in tripoli where people like road police according to duffy and bay say they don't trust the rebels because they don't know them and the see them as those who just want to share. is all high so a situation even here in tripoli is very complicated and that's why some skeptics

say that all these celebrations and even the space it by cameron sickos are here to tripoli is a little bit premature. the russians this time to the u.n. imposed a fly zone in libya which is indeed used to save civilians antiwar activists they maintain that nation's role has nothing to do with any humanitarian mission here come the former colonizers of north africa embrace and welcomed by the n.c.a. see what difference to the algeria what did britain do to egypt what it it's really a move his country due to libya before absolutely nothing has been done about seven six but that is the whole point of this nato aggression on libya as well nothing to do with protection of civilians. nato is head in in the in the rebel slave council as i call it he said he said in his speech to green square just the other day that the islamists will never take over and that you know and he said he said to his

rivals do not attack the women and children leave them out of this which is an admission from the m.d.c. it's an admission from his rivals have been attacking women and children. now as british premier david cameron visits tripoli to celebrate the end of it down forty year rule r.t.s. i have a better look at how the arms deal is still working flat out. selling weapons could be a moral minefield but not here this is the world's biggest arms fair and a massive earner for the british economy the government's putting its conscience aside as international delegates stop the tanks rocket launches and the missiles so long as business is being done here it doesn't seem to matter who's buying this is gift list includes countries like saudi arabia and bahrain growth regimes that violently suppressed pro-democracy demonstrations earlier this year bahrain was

accused of opening fire on its own armed citizens in february saudi arabia sent its national guard in to help driving arman vehicles made by be a systems the u.k.'s largest defense company its products on this play here would be at home in any bond film this time can alter its temperature changes infrared appearance of british government the gunplay can change its spots it says there are countries it would still to but that doesn't include any here if a country's been invited by the british government here it's it's probably going to be on the list of countries who are able to sell tickets and it makes sense. these right to sell to save regimes like bahrain have repressed democratic process . that will try because. these protesters from the stop the arms coalition they're angry it's going ahead despite the recent crackdowns in libya in

egypt both former customers of britain using their purchases against their own people we're paying the price there and a bit israelian because we sold. as deny all the countries that out spirits in the arab spring i think it's short sighted it's bad for this country it doesn't make money it makes wars. to get this year's shoppers include fourteen countries branded all thora tarion by human rights groups in fact the government came clean on just one day before trade began i'm sure they're very embarrassed because of the one good fakery. david cameron was going to be walking around terriers where proclaiming his belief in human rights and freedom and democracy and the next stop was kuwait i get turned out he was travelling with eight abstractedly executives the whole purpose of the trip the straight out not the big traits or trying to make

was what straits the middle east the government says it's tightening restrictions on who can buy weapons that could be used for oppression and he claims an invite here doesn't guarantee an export rice since the difference is big business for britain it generated twenty two billion pounds for the economy last year and the case now the second biggest weapons exporter in the world. with money like that up for grabs turning customers away empty handed they prove difficult i've given it r t london. and there's also growing concern that syria's conflict is on the verge of a disastrous escalation is not essential members get hold of some mysterious weapon shipments itself a discussion in our cross talk at seven thirty g.m.t. here's what. the syrian government has pointed out that the opposition certainly elements within the opposition have been armed by outside forces particularly the united states as well as israel are they claim that they have a confession from

a former general of from syria who defected. he's going to be thirty two or in syrian television a very. i don't know anyone who believes the syrian government not only the syrians not by the syrian government i don't know any nation in the world who takes over syria's war of the syrian the syrian government said if they are telling the truth then all the media to syria allow the media into the squares love the myriad media to see the troops moving down innocent people like pacifist people and the roses to soldiers if they don't allow the media because they know they can massacre and torture and brutalize a lot more people they don't allow the media in nobody believes the syrian government not even in fact the people the syrian government to keep. if you want to get.

americans anti missile still planning the europe has picked up the pace over the last few days a string of agreements for turkey remain potent so remaining a major obstacles the troubled project clears warsaw and washington also gave the joint statements an ounce of which part of nato a shield will be deployed in poland i twenty eighteen gannett you can have specific . the police think missile defense agreement signed between the u.s. and poland in two thousand and eight and it's amending protocol of two thousand and ten has come into force this thursday as we speak it in vision is the deployment of a land base there some three system in poland and it's part of america's revamped plan to build a missile shield in europe with elements of it deployed in different countries in eastern europe just earlier this week an agreement was signed between in washington between romania and the u. way romania too will host a very because lynn basis in three interceptors and wednesday turkey and the us signed

a similar agreement but that was about deployment of an early warning radar. the shield will be unfolding fairly close to russian borders needless to say there's always been an irritant in the relations between washington and moscow the worth of words on missile defense has been going on for quite some time now with washington saying we need powerful missile interceptors against a possible attack from some dangerous state they usually namely ran in north korea and moscow saying why would you need interceptors for weapons at those ropes they'd still but russia and russia views america's missile defense plans as an attempt to breach that very precious parity principle that was said by the start treaty russians have been quite persistent for years you know saying it's ok it is not against us those two together in this believe missile shield in europe together and the response they get is always a no you know this is this they will cooperate but not on equal terms. now from the owns that whole project russia's concern that the shield may upset your delicate

military balance investigative journalist. right. some of the best strategy has military strategists in the world are in russia and they know that the run first of all they don't have to cap abilities to attack iran even if they wanted to number two they meet the a very hard core region but they're not suicidal so this excuse i guess to ahmadinejad or against the ayatollah how many from a part of the us is absolutely ridiculous again early it's basically the sure he's had guest russia eggs eventually i guess china as well as if china or russia will have any interest in trying to undermine the european union which are excellent markets for poles and what they sell most of their products in the case of china. some of the world's of the main news right now double its elected its first female

their young noisy and disorderly like old big families the seagulls are the last reminder of the one family atmosphere that once permeated this arctic island. eighty sounds coming from this building were just as. there today only instead of cries there were children streaks and laughter this apartment block was built specifically to house families and while adults were out working he is reluctant own devices running down hallways and banging doors local residents usually referred to his building as the crazy house across the street was a female dormitory nicknamed various given russian women's undying infatuation with everything french. further away he was a male dormitory also known as london supposedly for the gentle manners of its inhabitants during its best here is the settlement house more than a thousand people today it's a ghost town with

a spirit of communism is lurking in that band and buildings. this settlement was called because of the knowledge in surrounding it thirty years ago it had the highest living standards soviet people could dream of salaries two to three times higher than in the mainland free food free around wider and social lives in many ways it was a task model for the bride of the soviet people were trying to build. your rights northernmost statue of lenin is still tearing into the nearby glacier. most of the time is residence wanted to call mind it was never very profitable if maintained for the sake of keeping the soviet presence at the strategically placed archipelago not only an alice post this western most soviet settlement was also an ideological shell window but a capitalist rivals and no resources for spirit to cut a dash a concert hall
