as libya's new government gets ready for its un seat and reads the old regime is cash there is fears that unwavering support for the former rebels may see more civilian casualties. kosovan police in the e.u. helicopters seize two checkpoints in the northern border with serbia ignoring locals protests and warnings of growing violence. palestinian leaders defy u.s. pressure and vow to launch its un recognition bid sparking an israeli government frenzy to silence dissent and it's now vulnerable occupied territory settlements.

eight am in moscow i'm not going to have you with us here on r.t. our top story libya's national transitional council is lining up for its place at the united nations a new resolution is paving the way for them to take over libya's seat at the general assembly although the m.d.c. is not yet in full control of the country and u.s. also agreed to lift some of the sanctions imposed on the khadafi regime mark he's got a young has more. 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 climate insist is essentially a political operation it would give advice on restoring security but it would concentrate on efforts to undertake inclusive political dialogue promote national reconciliation and generally help the government in libya organize elections and write a new constitution and that kind of humor and participation is welcomed by all members

this is something that watches and wants of the united nations was talking about saying it's the u.n. responsibility to help create some kind of a law and order system that will put an end to the chaos there as a result of the failure to properly implemented previous u.n. resolution aiming at protecting civilians the country found itself in a full scale civil war with civilians suffering not also the resolution expresses the security council's determination to lift the no fly zone over the legal airspace in the very near future well that's a provision called forward by russia and a provision that we seek to support our members take a listen. in libya very charming the situation into political diplomatically and it's important the council considers lifting a new fly zone over libya particularly as this new fly zone is being violated arbitron. induce the new reality on the ground maintaining the new fly zone longer makes sense its lifting must be part of the international community's efforts to

address the aftermath of the libyan crisis so. the resolution would also ease economic sanctions imposed on libya and make sure the pains of billions of dollars of assets frozen by the security council in february and march are soon available to and for the benefit of the people of libya general assembly on friday gave libya's new when siege to the national transitional council which toppled prominent although not yet controlling the whole of levy or the rebels nevertheless represent their. country at the u.n. general assembly next week as with the arms embargo imposed on libya there or uncertainties whether everyone at the u.n. security council is on the same page here russia called for removing a ban on small arms supplies to levy or to protect u.n. person personnel diplomats and humanitarian staff but the essence of the french british proposal with regards to lifting the arms embargo is yet quite big so there might be some tension over the issue there anyway when it comes to concerns over

the proliferation of arms in the v.a. and its potential impact on regional peace everyone seems to be on the same page and the security council has clearly expressed those concerns the amount of weapons in the pit that are out for grabs is extruding really worrying more production is already left behind are only dreaming with weapons and the rebels have help themselves those weapons mean very well wind up in the hands of people who have other agendas then defeating could offie that's the kind of concern that russia has raised on a number of occasions saying in a chaos like the one unfolding in libya the weapons will inevitably end up in the hands of extremists and terrorists and not just weapons but maybe nuclear materials that libya possibly has to. although many see libya as moving into an era of law and freedom world affairs analyst russell carmen russell saw a chance came from voice of russia isn't so optimistic about the country's democratic future. the problem is that you have so many disparate interest among

the rebels that. it's certainly going to be a tough road and kind of interesting that the u.s. really wants to get into this quite as much i mean i think that it has a lot to do with self-interest in terms of trying to keep certain elements in the among the rebels from getting any from taking any power any real power and of course those are the elements such as you know the more islamic elements so there might be at some point a possibility for real democracy however the problem is is it going to be the democracy that america is going to try to impose on it and that i think is could be the potentially the real problem how much is the united states and nato and european nations going to be meddling in that democracy i'm going to out in the linear fighters backing the new leadership continue to power and what's left of the old regimes the remaining holdouts civilian casualties are still a very real possibility but the country is quick to condemn could archy's assaults

on the rebels back in march seem to have been quiet as artists or i mean explains. david cameron and nicolas sarkozy surveyed their humvee work the most senior leaders to visit tripoli since their countries began the naysayer intervention in libya they say their work is not yet. born with a nato mission and kill civilians. working he's right civilians are still being killed but now that gadhafi is virtually powerless the people increasingly doing the killing are national transitional council forces together with nato as they attack lead and other gadhafi strongholds on that cameron and sarkozy are silent to paraphrase george orwell in animal farm some civilians are more equal than others nato insists they're targeted attacks but there are reports of m.t.c. reprisals against. the supporters. clearly there are real problems on the ground

it's a legacy of such a conflict that you will have human rights abuses taking part on both sides i think the rebels the national transitional council have promised to hold their own fighters to account and that is a process that we will see from now it doesn't seem to be happening yet the african union alleges that transitional forces are hunting down and killing black africans on the assumption that we recruited them as mercenaries that's borne out by reports by amnesty international which that is the rebels are guilty of unlawful killings and torture it takes pains to point out that kids half the forces committed some terrible atrocities but also documents of brutal stickling of scores by rebel forces including the lynchings of gadhafi soldiers meanwhile keep tapping his hometown is one of the last holdouts a letter purportedly from the colonel himself begs the u.n.

security council to protect sirte from being pounded by nato and to tackle what it describes as crimes by the forces of the new government civilian deaths are seemingly assured. cameron and sarkozy were quick to condemn good afy for killing innocent libyans in the lead up to nato is no fly zone being imposed but no such rhetoric spin aimed at the empty sea in fact it's quite the opposite britain sponsored a draft u.n. resolution to ease sanctions against libya and against the national oil corporation in particular getting the oil flowing again your emmett's altie. and western enthusiasm for liberty and independence faces a tough test next week as palestinian leaders prepare to go flat out and get it in their bid for u.n. recognition. call though

a yes vote is by no means certain israel is already cracking down on less than dedicated settlers as it looks to solidify a position occupied territory. one thousand miles from the north pole. the. e.q. on a trip to spitzbergen on to tell ago. where twenty years after the u.s. was ours collapsed. life is still going strong. in the world's most statue of lenin presides over a ghost. it. has become a tourist site for those overcome by the cold war. the close special edition. because of an police assisted by e.u. forces have taken over two border crossings with serbia in the north of the

breakaway region locals are mostly ethnic serbs and they've been trying to prevent the takeover by blocking roads to the checkpoints and staging protests or he's sorry for it has been close to where the border seizure happened. well where one of the border crossings you're ready and right leading up to it remain below the protest is now we actually can't get much closer when you go up to the front of that crossing by the ballboy and we can see some of the cape full forces on the ground there we saw helicopters coming across and it's too good you like helicopters dropping off some of the e.u. police forces crossings also the albanian course the police they've made me actually go to. each of the checkpoints at the moment and that the time being in an observatory role now of course the plan is for them to eventually take a console and that's what much of this just the best still now amid concerns of a repeat of what we saw in july when violent clashes over the course the government

making a plea to try and take this place resulted in the death of a policeman is actually being relatively quiet here today what we've seen is a huge number of serbian ethnic serbians turning out at these barricades but what we've got at the moment is a standoff situation is a war with no it's because the basic checkpoints of the barricades is the serbian protesters and in the case full force is at the actual crossing themselves ok no one wants to make me take a full force if they want to make me to break up the barricades the fears about violence and the serbian protesters for exactly the same reasons they they will. prevail but also we had the u.n. security council calling an emergency meeting at the request of serbia and russia and no final decisions were really made from that there were a lot of countries that were unwilling really to make a statement which would take a group of these control points going ahead despite the warnings from belgrade i'm from russia that this could really lead to further agitation and political analyst

alexander poundage says the nato led mission in kosovo assisting the republican installing customs controls is violating the un mandate. ok for meeting nato have absolutely overstepped their mandate their un mandate is clear they're supposed to be neutral down there they're supposed to be keeping the peace they're not supposed to be taking anyone's side they're clearly taking the albanian side these the session is the government increased tonight in the capital of course of our kind so this is brown through trouble and they've openly sided with them together with the western countries the western powers that are sitting in the security council so hussian prachi has a lot to thank for as far as they're concerned we have the security council we have five states each with veto power we have three western states and two non western states in the security council with veto power so really if the west decides to

support any unilateral action. you can't stop it and you can't give a mandate to the un to do anything about it because either the united states great britain and france will put a veto veto to it so it's not surprising that they've been sponsoring kosovo independence for years now and they're actually thinking that they're entering the endgame now and they're actually doing a hard course for it right now. we got more news for you an analysis at r.t. dot com here's what's a click away right now. out of control and hurdling toward the earth a six ton nasa satellite heading home with increasing speed with no one to steer it but don't rush to the heart had just yet we'll tell you what the experts think cracking down. on the cold war bunker being used to talk about twenty first century forever as a mosque our youth group plans an information data war to head off any arab style uprisings in russia.

well they're passionate address palestinian president mahmoud abbas has vowed to seek full recognition at the u.n. security council next week it's a blow to the u.s. which has leveraged its diplomatic way to do rail of the bed and which now promises to veto but that's not stopping worries from growing in israel with the very real possibility it may soon have to return the lands it has occupied for years or his policy or has more. barry was wanted to meet us here in one of israel's bustling

cities he wants to talk but not in his own statement where he's seen as a troublemaker they are afraid. because they're for him. but for me for my job but beneath won't be shut up he says he's tired of being used as a pawn by the government fifty years ago the state made it easy for him to buy a house he didn't have the money so they offered him a cheap one the only catch it was in a whisper and sit home and now years on he wants to leave but can't because his property has harvard in value since he bought it so. was going to help. no more because the government doesn't want the. bank of the. agreement with the who have to show that it's full of people who doesn't want to live he says one in two states has pointed out that the government does everything it can to keep him in both the land barren and difficult but that hasn't stopped

moving on in a few months no construct one has begun on more than two thousand projects here in the west bank and the polities get extra money from the ministry of education for extra teachers or extra money from the ministry of infrastructure for more infrastructure means less payment by the fact that these were the biggest incentives that are not written anywhere in the book is to me it suggests prime minister netanyahu spends nearly a billion dollars a year just to keep decisions going but that has to come from somewhere and tens of thousands of israelis diplomats the answers will come onto the streets in numbers never seen before in israel's history but netanyahu has no plans to leave decisions regardless of what it does to his economy alter the peace process there is no political gain. these are about whether it's right or wrong just doing it and we

know about many certain lands and the eastern part of the fence where you have a lot of arguments which are and the as palestinians head off to the united nations he's really only digs in around decisions and with him in the way the prospects of peace seem as unlikely as the rise actually leaving we stand police here are t. . partition of. palestine deserve sovereign recognition more than some other nations who one there is more usually a sense of sorrow and loss not a statesman an anger that others instantly get recognition and strangely those who want even as prepared as we are and who haven't lived for sixty three years under brutal military occupation and get recognition get statehood get support get an understanding from the international community and yet we are constantly preventing from getting these things by the israeli occupation of and by an american

administration that really hates to see and predators of justice and so even when southern sudan was declared the state if you would they number simply few days and here we are for decades trying to get the minimal requirements the minimal rights that other people take for granted and yet we are constantly being rejected i think it's about palestine joins the community of nations as an equal and is no longer treated as a subhuman species but have no rights. turning now to some other stories making headlines across the globe an air race has ended in tragedy in nevada the world war two era plane crashed into spectators killing at least three people including the pilot dozens of others were injured many in critical condition the eighty year old pilot of a must if you want is thought to have lost control of the events of the aircraft at the event in a week. storage facility with about twenty gas tanks of splode in the

capital of peru no serious injuries reported authorities believe a leak may have caused the blast a firefighter at the scene said he was shocked about the site had a license because it was inappropriate leave located near a residential area gas tanks are widely used in peruvian homes for cooking. thousands of soldiers marines and police officers have marched through mexico city as part of independence day celebrations the scores got as apollos square despite the intense drug related violence that's plaguing the country there was still heavy security to be fears of gang attack but no incidents have been reported so far. euro zone finance ministers meeting in poland say they're delaying a seven billion euro belo payment to greece they just did it by saying that they were left with no choice following a series of missed deadlines by but economists around the world have blasted the the delay who say the e.u.

was needlessly jeopardizing greece into default thins then says it will run out of cash next month will be unable to pay the interest on its debt the last few months has been iraq indecision among the leaders on how to deal with that which is one of the half times the size of its economy but the country's predicament isn't unique and the effects of the global financial squeeze are being felt everywhere. without a doubt and she hit the streets of new. as the global economy continue. poverty levels continue to rise are you feeling the effects this week let's talk about that. well let me see i moved out of manhattan back to my house in central jersey which was i abandoned two years ago. out of work so you know basically i'm just living a day by day this is the wrong place to talk about poverty because here everything is so expensive so. it's weird but how is it in israel we have

a lot of people but it's ok you feel like it's getting worse there it is getting worse actually where the. big manifests three thousand people manifesting because it's too expensive to live in israel it's below what's below poverty is on the rise you don't believe it is. well not being able to get the basics in life ok it's it's been like that since creation is it worse or better it's probably about the same as it always was so you're not by not so why would people manufacture such baloney sell newspapers you wouldn't have a job this is that happened have you felt the impact at all. yes because i work with the for profit organization that takes care of women and we're seeing lots more women who don't have you know what do you think would happen if a middle class disappeared. but i think that's ever going to happen i think things

are going to get more expensive and there's not be any more american dream there's no more white picket fence and not everyone. religion coming from they have feelings for the land they try to build a house for themselves and try to get. they can touch it not saving too much money no. problem to have people just lost touch with the earth and important things i think so yeah because a lot of people think man. it's the best you can have whether or not you personally feel the effects of the writing poverty level the bottom line is that this trend isn't going to burst anytime soon. finally in this news block if you're curious as to how it felt to live in the u.s.s.r. there is one place where the soviet spirit is frozen in time in the arctic circle

it's not even in russia it's in the town of baron's herb which lies on a norwegian archipelago called spitsbergen a vibrant soviet neighborhood grew there after mining rights were granted in the one nine hundred twenty s. even today russia operates a consulate there are making it the world's northernmost diplomatic mission but when communism collapsed the community went with it and little change since as artie's oksana boyko reports. it's a legacy no one should be proud of heaps of scrap metal littering pristine arctic landscape building stilton over that foundation. black smoke over the snow covered peaks the traces of the soviet industrial activity on the bergen archipelago don't make a pretty picture if the guiding principle here is the worse the better locals like to tell the story about back in soviet times when norwegians were visiting barons were they don't want to. be and how. well rhymes. with kenya where they saw a plug or see if they were trapped in

a region tourists or barons word i would watch. that's why when. our goal is common as was our current here a few days ago and started throwing it away the local administration decided to pay the bill you. had baron's were found where communism had long stopped being a lifetime goal but is rapidly becoming the means of livelihood the rusty soviet heritage has suddenly become a hard to reach destination for older generation of western tourists and while the tour guides are too young to have any memories of the cold war they're more than happy to cash in on this theory types of a bygone era where you have some problems with. the use of the wrists we have heard this. but now we have new rules. minus. the work. from. back in the nineteen eighties bearings

work was a burgeoning mining community that the soviet union was determined to maintain its own cost to digitally located halfway between north america and western europe the spitzbergen archipelago is part of norway but a special status that allows other countries to set up industrial bases here in middle the. all of the cold war it served as the use of sars westernmost outpost now it's one of the soviet union slask out contact with preserved relics. is essentially a picture of what would have happened to the soviet union if it was cut off from any financial support for two decades it's a curious site for west interested i think it could be even more appealing for russian travelers to keep its presence on speeds bergan russia is still maintaining a coal mine here but transfer of profit is far behind local supernews shops between murray beale it is a big hit the defunct are in curtain still helps keep the money flowing guys it's

the russians who in your words you can't rubbles are on the ground you are the local administration is increasingly under pressure to bring the infrastructure up to more than standards these modernization efforts are not very popular tourist tell kerry there's if you come into a very authentic place like thing good should stay the way it is that would be my wish i mean that's the part of the let you know authentic tradition here that i should not i would not like to have it in a shiny condition to be on the fact that change even for the better is not always good for business something that even our local band has become attuned to what they try to add more than russian songs today repertoire it left the audience called all they wanted to hear it was a song perfectly familiar. sound like r.c.u.
