as libya's new government gets ready for its un seat and reaps the old regime as cash there are fears that unwavering support for the former rebels may see more civilian casualties. kosovan police and e.u. peacekeepers seized two checkpoints on the northern border with serbia ignoring locals protests and the warnings of escalating violence. in some time back by this time joins the community of nations as an equal and and there's no longer seated as some people. are counting on house tinian leaders defy u.s. veto threats and vow to launch a statehood recognition bid with the u.n. security council next week.

nine am in moscow i matter as a 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 resolution paves the way for them to take over libya's seat apa general assembly although the m.d.c. isn't yet in full control of the country and u.s. also agreed to lift some of the sanctions imposed on a docking regime artie's got in she 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 elections and

great a new constitution and that kind of u.n. participation is welcomed by all members this is something that washes ambling through 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 the 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 will lift the no fly zone over the levy an airspace in the very near future well that's a provision of forward by russia and a provision that we seek the support of our members take a listen. in libya very troubling the situation into political diplomatically and it's important to consider a solution a new fly zone over libya particularly as this new fly zone is being violated arbitrarily in views the 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 so. the resolution will 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 through and for the benefit of the people of libya the general assembly on friday gave libya's you went to the national transitional council which toppled normal khadafi although not yet controlling the whole of leave here the rebels nevertheless represent their. tree 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 calls for removing a ban on small arms supplies to lead to protect u.n. person personnel the implements 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 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 air out for grabs is that stream lee worrying production has already left behind are only dreaming with weapons and the rebels have help themselves those weapons may very well wind up in the hands of people who have other agendas and 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 folding in libya the weapons will inevitably end up in the hands of extremists and terrorists and not just weapons but maybe nuclear materials that leave your possibly has to. although many see libya moving into a new era of law and freedom world affairs analyst carmen russell such as can you from the voice of russia isn't so optimistic about libya's democratic future. the

problem is that you have so many disparate interest among the rebels that there's 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 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 apply impose on it and now that i think is that 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 in the ground in libya fighters backing the new leadership continue to power and what's left of the old regime sphere remaining holdouts civilian casualties are still a very real possibility but the country is quick to condemn could avi's assaults on

the rebels back in march seem to have gone quiet as artie's already made explains. david cameron and nicolas sarkozy surveyed their handiwork the most senior leaders to visit tripoli since their countries began their names here intervention in libya they say their work is not yet. born with. a billion. he's right civilians are still being killed but now that kidnapped me 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 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 suppose it could be supporters really there are real problems on

the ground there's a legacy of. human rights abuses on both sides i think rebels. have promised to hold their own forces 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 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 the forces committed some terrible atrocities but also documents of brutal settling of scores by rebel forces including the lynchings of the soldiers meanwhile he'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 has to tackle what it describes is crimes by the forces of the new government civilian deaths all seemingly official with. 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 rhetoric spin aimed at me and t.c. in fact it's quite the opposite person spun such a draft u.n. resolution to ease sanctions against libya and against the national oil corporation in particular getting the oil flowing again you are at it. western enthusiasm for liberty and independence faces a tough test next week as palestinian leaders prepare to go flat out in getting their u.n. recognition although yes well it is by no means

a certainty israel is already cracking down on the last thing dedicated settlers as it looks to solidify a position in occupied territory. if decades back in. one thousand miles from the north pole. the iraqi t.v. mistaking you on a trip to spitzbergen archipelago. where twenty years after the u.s.s.r. scolar the subregion way of life is still a growing strong claim for the world's most statue of lenin presides over and goes on to say it. has become a tourist site for those overcome by the cold war in the style. of the close up special edition. those have been billie's assisted by e.u. forces have taken over two border crossings with serbia in the north of the

breakaway region the locals are mostly ethnic serbs and have been trying to prevent the takeover by blocking roads through the checkpoints and staging protests arcade sorrow for more. where one of the border crossings that you're reading and roads leading up to it remained close by the protest is now we actually can't get the much closer when you go up to the front of. your scope but above blown we can see some of the capel forces on the ground there we saw helicopters coming across and it's thought that you like helicopters dropping off some of the police forces to these crossings also the albanian course the police they've only actually got to eat at 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 good control and that's what much of this just now amid concerns repeat of what we saw in july when violent clashes over the course the government making of me to

try and take this place resulted in the death of a policeman is actually being relatively quiet here today what we seen is a huge number of serbian ethnic servants 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 the basic checkpoints of the barricades is the serbian protesters and then the capel forces at the actual crossings themselves ok no one wants to make a move the cable forces they want to make me feel great thought the barricades the fear is sparking violence and the serbian protesters for exactly the same reasons they say will be provoking 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 for not there were a lot of countries that were unwilling really to make a statement 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 analysts

alexander parish says the nato led mission in kosovo assisting the breakaway republic and installing customs controls if you violating a un mandate. ok for meeting nato 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 vs the session is the government increased tonight in the capital of kosovo and so this is brown stir up trouble and they openly sided with them together with the western countries the western powers that are sitting in the security council so. she has a lot to thank for as far as they're concerned we have the security council were we have five states each with veto power we have three western states and two non western states on the security council with people of power so really if the west

decides to support any unilateral action. you can't stop it and you can't give a mandate see 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 the pendants 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. there's always more for you online at r.t. dot com here's what's a click away right now. out of control and speeding toward earth a six ton nasa satellite that's heading home with increasing force and no one just to read but don't grab your hard hats just yet we'll tell you where experts think such. and going underground to stop in rising a moscow youth group takes to a cold war bunker to use a data defense aimed at heading off an arab spring style conflict erupting in

russia i don't more about that our facebook page and our facebook or at facebook dot com slash are today. recognition at the u.n. security council next week it's a blow to the u.s. which. promises to veto but that's not halting worries from growing in israel with a very real possibility it may have. for years. more. he

was once a chinese has here in one of israel's busting cities he wants to talk but not in his own statement but he's seen as a troublemaker and they are afraid broke because of the. draw of life from your former group but beneath won't be shut up he says he's tired of being used as a pawn by the government thirty 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 he's property has hard in value since he bought it so. from a certain no or because the government doesn't want people. there west bank of the . agreement with the who have to show that it's full of people doesn't want. peace is one in two states has pointed out that the government does everything it

can to keep him in most of the land and difficult. but that hasn't stopped. the constitution has begun on more than two thousand projects here in the west bank melissa 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 circus 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 the statements going but that has to come from somewhere and tens of thousands of israelis diplomats the answers put them onto the streets in numbers never seen before in israel's history but netanyahu has no plans to leave assessments but goddess of what it does to his economy all to the peace process

there is no political the big. in israel about whether it's right or wrong doing it and we know about many certain moments in the eastern part of the friends 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 system and and with women the way the prospects of peace seem as unlikely as many was actually leaving the west bank policy r.t. . palestinian politician says palestine deserve sovereign recognition more than some other nations who one there is more easily. this sense of sorrow and loss not station anger that others instantly get recognition instantly those who want event. and who haven't lived for sixty three years under a brutal military occupation to 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 the place to see. it so. and so even when southern sudan once looked at the states. and here we are. thank to get that money among requirements nights 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 not rights. for another some other stories making headlines across the globe and the air race has ended in tragedy in after world war two where a plane crashed in just spectators killing at least three people including the pilot dozens of others have been reported injured many in critical condition the eighty year old pilot of a mustang fifty one is thought to have lost control of the aircraft i think event

in reno. a storage facility where about twenty gas tanks has exploded in the capital of peru no serious injuries were reported in authorities believe the leak may have been caused by the blast may have caused the blast a firefighter at the scene said he was shocked at the site that had a license because it was inappropriately located in a residential area gas tanks are right we used in the movie and holmes. thousands of soldiers marines and police marched through mexico city as part of independence day celebrations scores gathered as the calo square despite the intense drug related violence still plaguing the country it was heavy security to be fears of gang attacks but no incidents have been reported so far. euro zone finance ministers meeting in poland say they're delaying a seven billion euro bailout payment to greece they feel they were left with no choice after i missed several deadlines economists around the world are far from

happy accusing the e.u. of needlessly jeopardizing greece and pushing it into default the struggling country says it will run out of cash next month and will be unable to pay the interest on its debt the last few months have been plagued by indecision among new leaders on how did you deal with this is now one and a half times the size of its economy but it's not alone in the effects of the global financial squeeze are being felt everywhere as laurie harkness found out on the streets of new york. as the global economy continues to struggle poverty levels continue to rise are you feeling that this week let's talk about. me well let me see i moved out of manhattan back to my house in central jersey which was i abandoned two years ago. you know at work so you know basically i'm just living it day by day this is the

wrong place to talk about pulled it was 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 can like it's getting worse bear it is getting worse actually we are like big manifests three thousand people manifesting because it's too expensive they're living in israel that's below what's below poverty is on the rise you don't believe it is poverty. well not be 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 now so why would people manufacture such baloney so you wouldn't have a job if this didn't happen have you got the fact that all. yes because i work with a for profit organization that takes care of women and we're seeing lots more women who don't have insurance you know what do you think would happen if

a middle class disappeared. i don't think it'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's home really jump coming from a. feeling for the land to try to build a house for themselves and try to get. things 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 a rising poverty level the bottom line is it seems like this trend isn't going to reverse anytime soon. finally and. 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 a rush in the town of baron's berg which lies in a norwegian archipelago called pittsburgh and 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 making it the world's northernmost diplomatic mission but when communism collapsed the community went with it little changed since as artie's acts on a boycott found out. this is the legacy no one should be proud of heaps of scrap metal littering pristine arctic landscape building stilton over their foundation pipes black smoke over the snow cover it piques the traces of the soviet industrial activity on the burgen archipelago don't make a pretty picture if the guiding principle here is the worst the better walk of life to tell the story back in soviet times when you're a visiting barons were they don't want to. be and how.

well crimes obviously can. still attracting a region tourists are bearing the word i would much needed cash that's why when. our dollars common is was uncovered here a few days ago and started throwing it away the local administration decided to paint it in you and put it at various works 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 the steerage types of a bygone era we have some problems. here so tourists mubarak. goes but now what have you removed.

from. that in the nineteen eighties there was a burgeoning mining community that the soviet union was determined to maintain at all costs too cheaply located halfway between north america and western europe bergen archipelago is part of norway but a special status that allows other countries to set up industrial bases here in the mid. well the cold war it served as the use of stars westernmost outpost now it's one of the soviet union slask preserved relics. it is essentially a picture of what would have happened to the soviet union if it was cut off from italy financial support for two decades it's a curious city to 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 trance of profit it's far behind local supernews shops. memorabilia it is a big hit

a defunct barn curtain still helps keep the money flowing guys it's a rush to yourself but you can't be rivals. to grow your local administration is increasing down to pressure to bring the infrastructure up to more than standards if these materialization efforts are not very popular with tourists help character's if you come into a very authentic place like bond or think 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 he opens . i should not i would not like to have it in a shiny condition to be honest defend to change even for the better is not always good for business something that even a local band has become acute to when he tried to add more than russian songs to the repertoire it left the audience called all they wanted to hear was a song comfortably familiar.
