you know here in moscow tonight it's just after one of the top story in a show of support for libya's national transitional council the u.n. security council's approved a new resolution among the promise support says the easing of sanctions of the freezing of assets is a developing story let's get across it now go live to our calls for a gun which she's in washington d.c. for us here on a very good morning to you so what are the world powers want to achieve with this resolution for some of the details if you will. hi kevin one of the things that the new resolution envisions is a special u.n. support mission in libya that will be set up for an initial three months to help in what deployment is this is essentially a political operation it would give. it would give advice on restoring security but it would concentrate on efforts to undertake inclusive political dialogue national reconciliation and generally help the government in libya organize elections and write a new constitution and that kind of participation is welcomed by all members this
5:02 pm
is something that washes envoy to the united nations was talking about saying it's a u.n. responsibility to help create some kind of a law and order system that would put an end to the chaos there as a result of the failure to implement you know to properly implement the previous one resolution aimed at protecting civilians the country found itself in a full scale civil war with civilians suffering most also the resolution expresses the security council's determination to lift the no fly zone over the libyan air sprit airspace in the very near future russia put forward that position and it received the support of all members. of this vote the only development concerning libya has taken place today at the u.n. of the transitional government was given a seat at the u.n. general assembly. well yes yes kevin this is one of the developments so that if that happens today. just wanted to add one
5:03 pm
more thing about the resolution i think i missed that one of the points that it would be invasion the resolution would also see economic sanctions imposed and make sure that. those billions of dollars of assets frozen by the security council in february and march are soon available to the benefit of the libyan people although . as you mentioned the transitional national council that received the support of the general assembly although not yet controlling the whole of libya the rebels will nevertheless represent their country at the u.n. general assembly next week and it happened this friday at the un general assembly gave you one seat to the national transitional council which toppled moammar gadhafi is on the run now wanted by the international criminal court as for the arms embargo imposed on certain uncertainties whether everyone at the u.n. security council is on the same page here russia call for removing the ban on small arms supplies to leave to protect you and personnel diplomats and humanitarian
5:04 pm
staff but the essence of the french british proposal with regard to lifting the arms embargo is yet so there might be some tension over tensions over the issue anyway when it comes to you know when it comes to concerns over the proliferation of arms in libya and its potential impact on regional peace everyone seems to be on the same page in the security council it's clearly expressed those concerns the amount of weapons in libya that are out for brash it's extremely worrying could obvious army left behind armories brimming with weapons and the rebels have help themselves those weapons may very well wind up in the hands of people who have other agendas. you know other day and defeating could offer and that's the kind of concern that russia has raised on a number of cation saying in a chaos like the one unfolding in libya the weapons will inevitably end up in the hands of extremists and terrorists. you know not just weapons but maybe nuclear
5:05 pm
materials that libya possibly has to. next report of. thanks ever so much for give us three more days on what's been happening there in america and the u.n. side of things thanks very much well looking at the country internally there's been developments there tonight bad developments in libya and gadhafi forces attacking the loyalist stronghold of bani walid retreated after facing fierce resistance i say because there's trouble still ongoing there now regrouping on the outskirts of the town of him being repelled by a mortar and rocket fire well get out of his hometown of sirte c. is the focal point of the latest fighting that continues tonight. picks up that side of it for you. we're hearing from the national transitional council here in the capital tripoli that its troops have apparently entered the city of sirte some five hundred kilometers east of tripoli that off his hometown and one of the colonels last strongholds the m.t.c.
5:06 pm
reports that at least four of its fighters eleven and the other reports have been killed during these offensive seven others wounded and also there is information that forty could offer loyalists have been captured and see if there is to be reports that this information chief dr muesli brigade would have been one of them but this information is very hard to very far in fighting over another cent of gadhafi support bani walid some two hundred kilometers south of the capital tripoli continues while concerns over security safety of civilians trapped in the cities and the areas where the clashes between the rebels and gadhafi loyalists will continue and that is of the two nato countries that played a prominent a key role in the libyan revolution have that nature mission here on the ground will continue for as long as it is necessary to protect civilians here in libya meanwhile some are skeptical about the real aims of this mission as it's more loops
5:07 pm
right now like backing the rabble and helping them take control over the rest of the country rather than protecting civilians so it's now a little bit far from its initial go. talk about what's going to bunny will lead him sirte and as the british prime minister departs libya after celebrating the end of gadhafi forty two year rule anger grows in the u.k. over the arms fire that was hosted the colonel when he was stocking up with new military hardware critic so be this one of the world's biggest weaponry sells flaws and it's provided libya's ousted leader with the means to launch his deadly crackdown on the opposition and as always our brain has been investigating some prominent dictators have been shopping around for arms in london these days. 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 shop for tanks rocket launches and the missiles so
5:08 pm
long as business is being done here it doesn't seem to matter who's buying this is guest list includes countries like saudi arabia and bahrain both regimes that violently suppressed demonstrations earlier this year bahrain was accused of opening fire on its own armed citizens in february saudi arabia sentence national guard in to help drive in amman vehicles made by be a systems the u.k.'s largest defense company its products on display here would be at home in any bond film this tank can alter its temperature changes infrared appearance the light the british government the gump and he can't change its spots it says there are countries it won't sell 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 your list of countries who are able to sell to. make sense. do you think
5:09 pm
it's right to sell to say rich regimes like bahrain have repressed democratic process. i don't have a call with. these protestors from the stop the arms coalition they are 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 now in the mediterranean because we've sold weapons to all the countries that are now experiencing the arab spring i think it is short sighted it's bad for this country it doesn't make money it makes wars by the fear to gas 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 a barest because of the one china did factory oh david cameron was going to egypt walking around terriers square proclaiming his belief in human rights and freedom
5:10 pm
and democracy and the next stop was kuwait and it turned out he was travelling with eight arms tripoli executives but the whole purpose of the trip this trade one of the big traits or try to make was weapons straight to 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 license but defense 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 may prove difficult either bennett's r.t. london. kosovo's promises announced that the breakaway region has introduced customs control on its border with serbia the move strongly opposed by belgrade local serbs have been trying to prevented by blocking roads leading to the two
5:11 pm
border posts and hundreds of them are protested against the move in the northern city of metro it's a correspondent sara first brings us the latest from there. those two disputed border crossings remain blogs tonight the ethnics have barricaded the roads leading up to them protesting of course the cost the government's me to take a view. and now we're here in mitzvot which is the ethnically divided town and the bridge head that divides the north and serbia in parts of the town and the southern albanian parts today that barricade had around three thousand serbs turned out to man that barricade and we saw a very similar thing happening both of the teach exploits that one would driving in we were one of the checkpoints and from the other side we could see. the case full force is on the ground but now what we've heard is that earlier today. ok full forces and your legs were lifted by helicopter to those checkpoints also the
5:12 pm
albanian cause the police they've only actually got to. each of the checkpoints at the moment and that only for the time being in an observatory role now of course the plan is for them to eventually take over control and that's what much of this dispute rests on now amid concerns of a repeat of what we saw in july when violent clashes over the course think of a king and me to try and take these posts resulted in the death of a policeman is actually being relatively quiet here today what we've seen is a huge number of. i think seven it's turning out at these barricades but what we've got at the moment is a standoff situation is being called a war of nerves because what you've got here image of the barricades and at both the checkpoints at the barricades is the serbian protest is and then make a full force is the actual crossings themselves have been no one wants to make me the case full force is they want to make me have to break up the barricades that there is sparking violence and the serbian protest is for exactly the same reasons
5:13 pm
they don't want to be provoking violence the united nations security council holding yesterday and in the. agency meeting those at the request of belgrade and russia now no final decisions were really made from that there were a lot of countries that were unwilling really to make a statement russia and belgrade warning that this need to take away the sort of thing we should could really perfect further bloodshed. surface reporting that european and giants have signed up to bring the long planned son stream gaspipe on a step closer to reality the pipeline would run under the black sea and be another means of pumping russian gas directly into europe just like the north stream was opened earlier on this month to be to move his latest from sochi. the fact that gazprom has signed the shareholder agreement with its european partners companies from france italy and germany means that russia isn't the one step closer to realizing the transportation of gas from russia underneath the black sea to
5:14 pm
bulgaria and then eventually to austria and italy so directly to european consumers and this one step gives it an extreme advantage over rival project in the bucco pipeline which is outlined to deliver gas from central asia to europe and this has spurred concerns from europe for european authorities about the security of energy in europe and we have heard a comment from. the european energy commissioner saying that this makes europe war reliant on russian gas and therefore this is jeopardizing energy security in europe on the other hand actually the fact that russia will be delivering gas starting from twenty fifteen directly to european consumers means that actually energy security will be fortified as energy deliveries will be secured and russia won't have to deal with transit countries like ukraine which
5:15 pm
have created problems with the liveries to europe in the past also we have heard a lot of from kiev victory in the college the president has said suggested having the south stream go not underneath the black sea but through ukraine's territory making it cheap by gazprom and said there's no point in doing that because the whole goal of the pipeline is to bypass transit countries some of the headlines for you in the news this is saturday morning and syria's regular demonstrations are for friday prayers and turned into violent clashes with police local activists say around twenty protesters were killed the bloodshed hasn't stopped thousands though from pouring onto the streets across the country taking the uprising against president assad seventeen. other syrian president mahmoud abbas says he'll ask the u.n. security council for full membership next week first just by washington's earlier promise to use its veto power to block the creation of a palestinian state meanwhile palestinians and international activists who held
