noon in moscow i'm at treasure 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.t.s.c. isn't yet in full control of the country the u.n. has also agreed to lift some of the sanctions that had imposed on the khadafi regime artie's guy has more. one of the things that the new resolution invasions 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 lectures 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 by channeling the situation into political diplomatically and it's important to cancel considers lifting the new fly zone over libya particularly as this new fly zone is being violated arbitrarily now induce 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. the resolution would also ease economic sanctions imposed on

libya and make sure cans 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 the general assembly on friday gave libya's u.n. seat 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 the u.n. 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 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 libya that are up for grabs is extremely worrying more more could be 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. put on the ground in libya fighters backing the new leadership continue to pound what's left of the old regime a few remaining holdouts civilian casualty is still a very real possibility but the nations that were quick to condemn could of these assaults on the rebels back in march seem to have gone quiet as artie's laura amid reports. david cameron and nicolas sarkozy surveyed their handiwork the

most senior leaders to visit tripoli since their countries began the nato intervention in libya they say their work is not yet done. 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 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 supposedly good daffy's supporters clearly there are real problems on the ground there's a legacy of such

a conflict you will have human rights abuses taking on both sides the rebels the national transitional council have promised to hold their own forces 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 settling 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. to tackle what it

describes as crimes by the forces of the new government civilian deaths all seemingly assured. cameron and saul crazy were quick to condemn gadhafi the killing innocent libyans in the lead up to nato has no fly zone being imposed but no such rhetorics being aimed at the empty sea in fact it's quite the opposite. the un resolution to ease sanctions against libya and against the national oil corporation in particular getting the oil flowing again. western enthusiasm for liberty and independence faces a tough tough test next week as palestinian leaders prepare to go out and getting u.n. recognition hello yes followed by no means certain israel is already cracking down on its. settlers and the position on occupied territory.

of one thousand miles from the north pole. the art team is taking you on a trip to spitzbergen archipelago. where twenty years after the u.s.s.r. collapsed. life is still going strong. for the world's most. presides over a ghost writer so it. has become a tourist site for those overcome by the cold war in the style of. the close up special edition. kosovo police assisted by e.u. forces have taken control of 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. that's more

. well we're at one of the border crossings you're reading and the roads leading up to it remain bloke's by the protesters now we actually can't get much closer when you go up to the front of that cross thing you're stopped by the bubble and we can see some of the case full force is on the ground that we saw helicopters coming across and. you like helicopters dropping off some of the police forces to these crossings also the albanian cos the police they've any actually got 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 the control and that's what much of this. now amid concerns a repeat of what we saw in july when violent clashes over the course think of a 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've seen is

a huge number of the serbian i think 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 at 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 me the case they want to make a move to break up the barricades the fear is sparking violence and the serbian protest is exactly the same reasons they don't want the prevailing 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 to take a verse 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 powerage says the nato led mission in kosovo assisting the breakaway republic and installing customs controls maybe violating the un order. 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 we have the security council were we have five states each with veto power we have three western states into non western states so really if the west decides to support any unilateral action. you can't stop it so it's not surprising they've been sponsoring closely 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 and passion address palestinian president mahmoud abbas has vowed to seek full state recognition at the un security council next week

it's a blow to the u.s. which is leveraged its diplomatic way to darrelle the bid in which it now promises to veto but that's not keeping worries from growing in israel with the very real possibility it may have to return the lands it's occupied for years or possibly or has more. binny was wanted to meet us here in one of israel's busting 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 the talk there for him away from the job right there 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. form the said no or because the government doesn't want the people of the west bank

after the ones have agreement with the we have to show that it's full of people in the people who doesn't want to live in peace is one in two states that's point out 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 a month to month no construct and 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 netanyahu has no plans to leave the statements of the goddess of what it does to his economy alter the peace process there is no open political debate. these are 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 documents which are and. as palestinians head off to the united nations the israeli army digs into iran decisional minutes and with them in the way the prospects of peace seem as light as binney was actually leaving the way spank pully c r t. palestinian politician hanada schreiber we says palestine deserve a sovereign recognition more than some other nations who won there is more easily this sense of sorrow and loss not less station than anger that others instantly get

the recognition instantly those who want even as bad as we are and who haven't lived for sixty three is under brutal military occupation get declaration get statehood get support get an understanding from the international community and yet we are constantly preventing from go to these things by the israeli occupation by an american administration that the case to see. that if that's of justice i think it's about time that i understand the community of nations as an equal and there's no longer treated as a subhuman species that have no rights to 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 several important deadlines but 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 leaders on how to deal with greece's debt which is now one and a half times the size of its economy but it's not alone as the effects of the global financial squeeze are being felt everywhere as artie's laurie harford is found out 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 to manhandle back to my house in 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 like big manifests three thousand people manifesting because it's too expensive they're living in israel that's baloney what's baloney properties on the rise you don't believe it is 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 probably about the same as it always was so you're not buying it. so why would people manufacture such baloney sell newspapers you wouldn't have a job this is didn't happen have you felt the effects 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 a difference 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 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 in this new bark if your kid. it is how it 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 it's not even in iraq it's in the town of baron's bird which lives on a norwegian archipelago called spitsbergen libre and soviet neighborhood grew there after mining rights were secured 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 co-ops the community went with it and little change since his art his arse on a boycott found out. the legacy no one should be proud. of scraps magically cheering pristine arctic landscape building stilton over their foundation pipes spilling black smoke over the snow covered peaks the traces of the soviet

industrial looks d.v.d. on the spitzbergen archipelago don't make a pretty picture if the guiding principle here is the worst the better local like to tell the story about back in soviet times when norwegians have visiting barons word they don't want to. be and how prosperous this settlement was well times have obviously changed by this so it lags they still attracting new region tourists or barons work i would then cons much needed cash that's why when business bad there are a goal is common as was uncovered here a few days ago instead of drawing it that way the local administration decided to paint a 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 hot 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. tourists. but now we have a new roof. minus. only one work on the market. now from. back in the nine hundred eighty s. bearings work was a burgeoning mining community the soviet union was determined to maintain at all costs particularly located halfway between north america and western europe the bergen archipelago is part of norway but the special status that allows other countries to set up industrial bases here in the middle of the cold war it served as the us is sars westernmost outpost now it's one of the soviet union slask to clip 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 spitsbergen russia still maintaining a coal mine here but in terms of profit is far behind local souvenir shops. memorabilia is a big hit the defunct barn curtain still helps keep the money flowing guys it's a russian so you know. you can't play in rubbles or on the. euros the local administration is increasingly under pressure to bring the infrastructure up to more than standards these modernization efforts on not very popular with tourists operators if you come into a very authentic place like bonds. should stay the way it is that would be my wish i mean that's the part of the 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 morning russian songs to their repertoire the audience called all they wanted to hear was a song. listen there. are going to be counting. well if you like your journeys a little more sophisticated and cosmopolitan martin menders is right along with the way with it after the headlines with tips on how to navigate moscow without breaking the bank stay with us from moscow out but first the business. hello and a very warm welcome to our business update it's the second day of russia's international investment form in sochi seven thousand businessmen and officials from fast five countries a brainstorming challenges to russia's investment climate richard as enka is in the
