eight am in moscow i met treasurer good 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 n.p.c. is not yet in full control of the country the u.s. also agreed to lift some of the sanctions imposed on the khadafi regime marquees guidance chickie iran 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 they claim it insists is essentially a political operation it would give advice on restoring security but would concentrate on efforts to undertake inclusive political dialogue promote national reconciliation and generally help the government in libya organize the lections and write a new constitution and that kind of u.n. participation is welcomed by all members this is something that washes and going 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 properly implemented previous u.n. resolution aiming 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 levy an airspace in the very near future well that's a provision called forward by russia and a provision that received the support of all members take a listen. to in libya but channeling the situation into political diplomatically and it's important to cancel considers lifting the new fly zone over libya particularly as this no fly zone has been violated arbitrarily induced a new reality on the ground maintaining the new fly zone no longer makes sense it's lifting must be part of the international community's efforts to address the aftermath of the libyan crisis. the resolution would also ease economic

sanctions imposed on libya and make sure it can serve 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 you went to the national transitional council which toppled moammar gadhafi although not yet controlling the whole of libya the rebels nevertheless represent their. country at the u.n. general assembly next week as with the arms embargo imposed on libya there are 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 leave you 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 vague so there might be some tension over the issue there anyway when it comes to concerns over the proliferation of arms in the 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 libya that are up for grabs is extremely worrying more production is far on the left behind are brimming with weapons and the rebels have helped themselves those weapons mean very well wind up in the hands of people who have other agendas then defeating khadafi 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 of 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 chance king 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 it's 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 or any real power and of course those are the 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 this could be the potentially the real problem how much is the united states and nato and european nations going to be meddling in democracy on the ground in libya fighters backing the new leadership continue to power and what's left of the old regime as few remaining holdouts civilian casualties are still a very real possibility but the country is quick to condemn gadhafi as assaults on the rebels back in march seem to have gone quiet as artie's for him it explains. david cameron and nicolas sarkozy surveyed their handiwork the most senior leaders

to visit tripoli since their countries began the intervention in libya they say their work is not yet. born with. and kill civilians. and. 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 bani walid and other gadhafi strongholds all that cameron and sarkozy are silent to paraphrase george orwell in animal farm some civilians are more equal than others nato insists that targeted attacks but there are reports of m.t.c. reprisals against suppose it could daffy supporters. clearly there are real problems on the ground there's a legacy of such a conflict that you will have human rights abuses taking on both sides i think the

rebels the national transitional council have promised to hold their own fighters to account and i think that 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 gadhafi recruited them as mercenaries that's borne out by reports by amnesty international which says the rebels are guilty of unlawful killings and torture it takes pains to point out that gadhafi forces committed some terrible atrocities but also documents a brutal killing of scores by rebel forces including the lynchings of gadhafi soldiers meanwhile daffy's 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 gadhafi for killing innocent libyans in the lead up to nato is no fly zone being imposed but no such rhetorics being 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 london. for liberty and independence faces a tough test next week as palestinian leaders prepare to go in their bid for u.n. recognition. although a yes vote is by no. 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 ark is taking you on a trip to spitzbergen on go. twenty years after the collapse of life is still going strong. in the world. presides over and goes. to so it. has become a tourist site for those overcome by the cold war in the style of. the special edition. kosovan 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 are too sour

for it has been close to where the border seizure happened. well we're at one of the border crossings you renny and the roads leading up to it remain bloke's but the protest is we actually can't get too much play so when you go up to the front of that cross thing you're stopped by the bubble and we can see some of the k. full full says on the ground there we saw helicopters coming across and i just thought that you like helicopters dropping off some of the police forces to these crossings also the 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 a the control and that's what much of this dispute now amid concerns a repeat of what we saw in july when violent clashes over the course of the government. 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 the serbian i think 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 nose because of both the checkpoints at the barricades is the serbian protesters and then the case full force is at the actual crossing themselves but no one wants to make it be the case they want to make a move to break up the barricades fear is sparking violence and the set in protest is for exactly the same reasons they say will. prevail in violence so we had the un 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 take a birth 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 pavitra 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 kosovo and so this is bound to stir trouble and they've openly sided with them together with the western countries the western powers that are sitting in the security council so. touchy 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 calls to independents for years now and they're actually thinking that they're entering the endgame now and they're actually doing a hard push for it right now. 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. satellite heading home with increasing speed with no one to steer it but don't rush to the hard just yet we'll tell you why the experts think the old. cold war bunker being used to tackle the twenty first century. our youth group plans and information data war to head off any uprisings in russia.

well in a passionate address palestinian president mahmoud abbas has vowed to seek for recognition at the u.n. security council next week it's a blow to the u.s. which has leverage did a diplomatic way to do rail the bit in 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. has more. jimmy was wanted to meet us here in one of israel's bustling cities he wants to talk but not in his own city home and where he's seen as a troublemaker people they are afraid to talk because of the talk there for.

the for me or 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 way spanks his home and now years on he wants to leave but can't because his property has harbored in value since he bought it so. going to help. from the said no or because the government doesn't want the people. the west bank after the ones who have agreement with them for the seriously we have to show that it's full of people and the people doesn't want to live b.b.c. is one in two states it's one town but the government does everything it can to keep them in most of the land there and difficult but that hasn't stopped the building on it in the long two months no construct has begun on more than two

thousand projects here in the west bank municipalities 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 settlers these were the biggest incentives that are not written anywhere in the book istomin suggests prime minister netanyahu spends nearly a billion dollars a year just to keep the statements going but that has to come from somewhere and tens of thousands of israelis did the math the answers brought them onto the streets in numbers never seen before in israel's history but now twenty are who has no plans to leave the statements the goddess of what it does to his economy all to the peace process there is no political debate. in israel about whether it's right or wrong just doing it and we know about many settlements and the eastern part of the fence where you have a lot of apartments which are empty as palestinians head off to the united nations

the israeli army digs in around the city and with them in the way the prospects of peace seem as likely as binney was actually leaving the west bank policy r.t. . palestinian partition of. palestine deserve a sovereign recognition more than some other nations who won there is more usually a sense of sorrow and loss not restoration and anger that others instantly get recognition instantly those who want even as prepared as we are and who haven't lived for sixty three years under brutal military occupation 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 by an american administration that really hates to see the imperatives of justice and so even when when southern sudan was declared the state if you would

a is membership in a few days and here we are for decades trying to get that minimal requirements the minimal rights that other people take for granted and yet we are constantly being rejected i think it's about time that palestine joins the community of nations as an equal and is no longer treated as a subhuman species that have no rights. turn 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 rushed into spectators killing at least three people including the pilot dozens of others were injured many in critical condition eighty year old pilot of the must die if you want to is thought to have lost control of the event the aircraft at the event in rio. a 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

months have been iraq by indecision among the leaders on how to deal with the debt 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 as laurie harkness found out and she hit the streets of new york. as the global economy continues to. struggle 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 that in israel we have a lot of people but it's ok you feel like it's getting worse there it is getting were actually where the. big manifests three thousand people

manifesting because it's too expensive they're living in israel that's baloney what's baloney poverty is on the rise you don't believe it is what's poverty. well not being able to get the basics in life ok it's that'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 now so why would people manufacture such baloney sell newspapers you wouldn't have a job if this didn't happen have you felt the effects and 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 a choice from 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 going be any more american dream there's no more white picket fence and not everyone to be able to own their own home the religion coming from a they have feelings for the land they try to build

a house for themselves and try to get. things that they can touch and not saving too much money now so that the problem i have people just lost touch with the earth and important things i think so. because a lot of people think money is. the best you can have whether or not you personally feel the effects of the rising poverty level the bottom line is it seems like this trend isn't going to reverse anytime soon. finally in the 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 barren spur which lies on the 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 has 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 their foundation pipes spewing black smoke over the snow covered peaks the traces of the soviet industrial activity on the spitzbergen archipelago don't make a pretty picture if the guiding principle here is the worse the better local life to tell the story that back in soviet times when norwegians were visiting barons word they don't want to rise. and how prosperous this was well times have obviously a change where they saw it lags say it's still attracting a region tourists are bearing the word i would then cons much needed cash that's why while. our goal is common as was i will cover it here

a few days ago and started drawing it that way the local administration decided to paint the venue and put it at barron's work central square communism had long stopped being a lifetime goal but is rapidly becoming the means of livelihood the rusty soviet heritage has suddenly become a hawk tourist 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 of types of a bygone era we have some problems with. here so tourists. mubarak. goes but now we have a new room. minus. the work. from . back in the nine hundred eighty s. daryn's work was a burgeoning mining community the soviet union was determined to maintain it a low cost degree 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 the middle of. cold war it served as the u.s. is sars west and most outpost now it's one of the soviet union slask 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 western tourists and i think it could be even more appealing for russian travelers to keep its presence on spitsbergen russia is still maintaining a coal mine here but in terms of profit it's far behind local souvenir shops. memorabilia is a big hit the defunct are in curtain still helps keep the money flowing guys it's a russian so you're sure you can play rubbles there on the.

euros the local administration is increasingly under pressure to bring the infrastructure up to more than standards these modernization efforts are not very popular with tourist operators if you come into a very authentic place like bond it 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. i should not i would not like to have it in a shiny condition to be honest the fact the change even for the better is not always good for business something that even a local band has become attuned to when they try to add more than russian songs to the repertoire it left the audience called all they wanted to hear it was a song comfortably familiar. sound like a car seat there in support pittsburgh an archipelago. if you like your travels a bit more cosmopolitan martin andrews is coming up with an tips on how to navigate
