as libya's new government gets ready for its un seat and reaps the old regimes cash there's fears that other wavering support from the for the former rebels may see more civilian casualties. kosovo police and e.u. peacekeepers seized two checkpoints on the northern border with serbia ignoring locals protests and warnings of escalating violence plus. it's about time that either stein joins the community of nations as an equal and is no longer treated as something you. know right palestinian leaders defy u.s. veto threats and vow to launch a statehood recognition did with the u.n. security council next week.

eleven am in moscow i matras are 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 paves the way for them to take over libya's seat on the general assembly although the n.c.c. isn't yet fully in control of the country and the u.n. has also agreed to lift some of the sanctions imposed on the khadafi regime or he's got a check young has more. one of the things that the new resolution inventions is a special u.n. support mission in libya that will be set up for an initial three months to help in what the climate insists is essentially a political operation it would give advice on restoring security but would cause and trade on efforts to undertake inclusive political dialogue promote national reconciliation and generally help the government in libya organize the elections

and write a new constitution and that kind of u.n. principle asian is welcomed by all members this is something that russia's and went 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 implement 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 to lift the no fly zone over the levy an airspace in the very near future well that's a provision put forward by russia and a provision that received the support of our members take a listen. in libya but charming the situation into political diplomatically and it's important the council considers lifting the new fly zone over libya particularly as this no fly zone is being violated arbitrary induce the new reality on the ground and ensuring the new flows will no longer make sense its 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 the 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 u.n. seat to the national transitional council which toppled moment alfy although not yet controlling the whole of levy or the rebels and over the last represent their country at the un general assembly next week as for 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 leave you to protect us personnel deployed mance 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 libya 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 area that are out for grabs is extremely worrying more could obvious army left behind armories brimming with weapons and the rebels have helped themselves those weapons may very well wind up in the hands of people who have other agendas then defeating could offer that's the kind of concern that russia has raised on a number of occasions saying in a careless 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 moving toward a new era of freedom world affairs analyst carmen russell chance king from the

voice of russia isn't so optimistic about the country's democratic prospects. the problem is that you have so many disparate interest among the rebels that there is 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 elements such as you know the more islamic elements so there might be at some point a real possibility for real democracy however the problem is is it going to be the democracy that america is going to try to impose on another 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 democracy on the ground in libya fighters backing the new leadership continue to pound what's left of the old regimes remaining holdouts civilian casualties still

a very real possibility but countries quick to condemn these assaults on the rebels back in march seem to have gone quiet as artie's laura orts. david cameron and nicolas sarkozy surveyed their handiwork the most senior leaders to visit tripoli since their countries began the naysayer intervention in libya they say their work is not yet we want to mourn with. and kill civilians. and. he's right civilians are still being killed but now that gadhafi it's virtually powerless the people increasingly doing the killing the national transitional council forces together with nato as they attack leads and the strongholds on that cameron and sarkozy are silent to paraphrase children. well in animal farm some civilians are more equal than others and nato insists they're targeted attacks but there are reports of m.t.c.

reprisals against suppose it could be 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 part on both sides of the rebels the national transitional council have promised to hold their own fighters to account and i think that is a process that we will see from now it doesn't seem to be happening yet the african union alleges the 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 they could happy thoughts is committed some terrible atrocities but also documents of brutal still linger scores by rebel forces including the lynchings of gadhafi soldiers meanwhile could taffy'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 the killing innocent libyans in the lead up to nato is no fly zone being imposed but no such rhetoric speaking aimed at the m.t.c. 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. london. western enthusiasm for liberty and independence faces a tough test next week as palestinian leaders prepare to go all out for getting u.n. recognition although

a yes ago is by no means certain israel's already cracking down on its less than dedicated settlers as it looks to solidify its position in occupied territory. back in. one thousand miles from the north pole. the mystic you know on a trip to spitzbergen on a good time ago. where twenty years after the u.s.s.r. collapsed the soup between life is still going strong lead to the world's most statue of lenin presides over a goes. to see it. has become a tourist site for those overcome by the cold war and the sounds of. the close up special edition. of kosovo 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 r.t. sara for a has been close to the border where the seats are up. well we're at one of the border crossings are you ready and the roads leading up to it remain bloke's by the ethnics the protest is now we actually can't get to the much place and when you go up to the front of that cross thing you're stopped by the ball boy and we can feast on the take a full force is on the ground there we saw helicopters coming across and it is still the you like helicopters dropping off some of the police forces to these crossings also the albanian cos the police they've only actually got to each at each of the checkpoints at the moment and that but 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 best still now amid concerns of

a repeat of what we saw in july when filing clashes over the course think of the making of me to try and take these cases 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 ethnic serbians turning out at these barricades what we've got at the moment is a standoff situation is being called a war of nerves because the basic techniques of the barricades is the serbian protesters and then make a full force is at the actual crossings themselves at the no one wants to make me the case will feel as if they will take me it's a great cut the barricades to fair sparking violence and the said in protest is for exactly the same reasons they don't want to be provoking violence so we have the u.n. security council calling an emergency meeting their request to serbia and russia and no final decisions were really made for not there are a lot of countries that were unwilling really to make a statement take a for 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 powder which is the nato led mission in kosovo assisting the republican installing customs controls maybe violating the u.n. mandate. ok for the meeting they absolutely overstepped their man being their u.n. 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 i mean one side they're clearly taking the albanian side these the session is the government increased to the capital of kosovo and so this is brown strew trouble and the openly sided with them together with the western countries the western powers that are sitting in the security council so caution prachi has a lot to thank for as far as they're concerned we have the security council were we have five states each with a veto power we have three western states and two man 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 u.n. 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 push for it right now a passionate address palestinian president mahmoud abbas has vowed to seek all recognition at the u.n. security council next week it's a blow to the u.s. which leverage its diplomatic weight to do relevant data and which now promises to meet up but that's not stopping worries from growing in israel with the very real possibility it may soon have to return to the land that's occupied for years artie's policy or has no. pinney was wanted to meet us here in one of israel's bustling cities he wants to talk but not in his own social mint where he's seen as

a troublemaker. for broke because they're for. the 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 media 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 an away spence's home and now years on he wants to leave but can't because his property has hard in value since he bought it for. so no war because the government doesn't want. to have to show that it's full of people of those who want to live he says one in two states has pointed out that the government does everything it can to keep him in most of the land here is there and. about half. the money in

a two month low constitution has a ban on more than two thousand quadratics 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 interest means less payment by the settlers these were the biggest incentives there 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 did the math the answers brought him onto the streets in numbers never seen before in israel's history but netanyahu has no plans to leave the system and the goddess of what it does to his economy alter the peace process there is no political the. it is really about whether it's right or wrong doing it and we know about many settlements and the eastern part of the fence where you have

a lot of apartments which are and seen as palestinians head off to the united nations he's really only digs you know wrong decisions and with him in the way the prospects of peace seem as unlikely as the rise actually leaving the west bank policy r t. i mean politician says palestine deserves sovereign recognition more than some other nations who want it more easily the sense of sorrow and loss not restoration anger but others instantly get recognition and instantly those who won't even as prepared as we are and who have been to the poor sixty three years under the brutal military occupation get recognition get statehood get support get an understanding from the international community and here we are concerned constantly preventing from getting these things by the israeli occupation by an american administration that really pays to see the

benefits of justice and so even when southern sudan was declared the state in a few days they got a membership in a few days and here we are certain vacates trying to get the minimum requirements the minimum 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. euro zone finance ministers meeting in poland say they're delaying a seven billion euro bellowed payment to greece they feel they were left with no choice after athens missed several important deadlines but economists around the world are far from happy if using the e.u. would 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 the new leaders on how to deal with greek debt which is now one of the times the size

of its economy but it's not alone as the effects of the global financial squeeze are being felt everywhere as are the harshness found out when she took opinion on 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 a man back to my house and central jersey which was i abandoned two years ago. out of work so 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 maybe

fifteen because it's too expensive living in israel that's below what's below poverty is on the rise you don't believe it is what's poverty well not be able to get the basics in life ok it's been like that since creation is it worse or better it's very much the same as it always was so you're not by. 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 insurance and 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 to be any more american dream there's no more white picket fence and not everyone's me a little nearer home 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. well in this news what if your carious. what felt to live in the u.s.s.r. there is one place where the soviet spirit is frozen in time near the arctic circle and it's not even in a rush it's in the town of barren spurred which is on a norwegian archipelago college that spurred in a vibrant soviet neighborhood grew up 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 when communism collapsed so did the community there and little change since archy's acts on a boy discovered. it's the legacy no one should be proud of heaps of scrap metal littering pristine arctic landscape building still to nowhere that foundation pipes black smoke over the snow covered peaks the traces of the soviet industrial activity on the spitzbergen archipelago don't make a pretty picture of the guiding principle here is the worse the better the locals

like to tell the story about back and soviet times when norwegians were visiting barons were they don't want to. be and how prosperous this was well times have obviously kenda by the slow legacy as they were trapped in a region tourists are barren word and watch native cash that's why why was that our goal is common is what i would call right here a few days ago and started throwing it away to the local administration decided to pay the bill you and i barons work central 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 the 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 spirit types of a bygone era where you could have some problems where it is the clearest.

thing goes but now we have a new roof. and there were more work. from. that in the nine hundred eighty s. barons work was a burgeoning mining community the soviet union was determined to maintain at all costs to cheaply located halfway between north america and western europe the spitzbergen archipelago is part of norway but the special status that allows other countries to set up industrial base is here in middle the. of the cold war it served as the use of stars westernmost outpost now it's one of the soviet union's last preserved relics. it 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 speeds bergan russia is still maintaining a coal mine here but in transit profit it's far behind local supernews shops. memorabilia is a big hit the defunct are in curtain still helps keep the money flowing guys it's a russian so your what's your rubbles. to grow your. local administration is increasingly under pressure to bring the infrastructure optimal than standards these modernization efforts are not very popular tourist operators coming to a very authentic place like. 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 that change for the better is not always good for business something that even a local down has become to one day try to add more than russian songs to directly

to our audience called they wanted to hear it was a song comfortably familiar. sound like ours see there is bored pittsburgh an archipelago. and sticking with a musical theme we need a multi grammy winning musician who knew when he was really popular a little thought or a fusion coming your way shortly but first the business news with people. hello and a very warm welcome to the business of date three e.u. energy majors who agreed to take a fifty percent stake in russia south stream project the natural gas link will go on to the black sea and then on to italy and austria it's aimed at meeting europe's growing energy to mount italy's and he will get a twenty percent stake while germany's winters hole and the french from easier will

each get fifteen percent to return coke or top of the deputy head of gas prom and ask him how significant the deal is. because finalise the company has to physically decide you know the south in project the below was no where the balls of course but i took him inside place though and the normal way of it is issue goes a bit by a project with the action plan and it's not simply the do it just put eliza project into you time as a fill the gas will stop the flow to europe via black sea and the sails and feature does this actually mean that the project the substrate project is happening right here in the here gulf elations goes a company can save his ability to study demonstrate that this project is feasible because limburger it justifiable at the specially in the usa recent changes since the age of the natural gas in the euro will means that russia will be the by the should the audience is ghastly going to be

a customer how would you comment the european energy commission if you took those in his. remarks that south stream now presents a threat to european energy secure was a major surprise as well as as well as my colleagues because when never never. be there never can see the book as a competitive project for very simple reason because it's the projects have different names of a project just starting to give us a try but is it true it's old fashioned this was a problem my kids become past the modest with the populist with the few new technical experience and good of the new stadium that now boca has a good diversifies a sources for supply but i still don't see why this applies but that was a list that gives this project will help and it's put the help to me that you showed a month of the would be in the economy is. in the brightest minds in russia celebrating

five years since the opening of the skolkovo business school projects is aimed at creating leaders and help them build businesses that will become international powerhouses we're in a culture is there for us. i was banking on this place as it's seen as the platform to greet the next generation of on super nors it all began when the russian business elites got together and decided to create a project that would rival of the most famous business schools in the world like harvard for hundreds of millions of dollars later and their idea is now a reality it's no secret that countries like in high fliers and instead of importing them this school is trying to teach russians how to think outside the box and that's where their approach comes in the organizers believe in students take imports in real projects and allies in business exhibits these in countries with rapidly growing economies for as the need to madrid is convinced that water is exactly will russia needs to meet his goals of water lies they should look out of
