just after two pm here in the russian capital you're watching our t.v. now 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 out the general assembly although the m.d.c. is not yet in full control of the country well the u.s. also agreed to lift some of the sanctions imposed on colonel gadhafi regime arties good education explains. 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 write a new constitution and that kind of u.n. participation is welcomed by all members this is something that washes amboy 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 members take a listen. in libya by chumming 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 arbitrarily now induce the new reality on the ground maintaining the new fly zone no longer makes 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

make sure panes 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 will 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. 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 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 khadafi that's the kind of concern that russia has raised on a number of occasions saying in a care 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. well on the ground in libya fighters backing the new leadership continued to pound what's left of the old regimes few remaining holdouts civilian casualties are still a very real possibility but the country was quick to condemn good office assaults on the rebels back in march seem to have gone quiet laura explains. 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. born with. the brilliance. 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 suppose it could duffy 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 the rebels the national transitional council have promised to hold their own forces 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 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 the forces committed some terrible atrocities but also documents a brutal killing of sky. caused 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 gadaffi 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's sponsored a draft u.n. resolution to ease sanctions against libya and against the national oil corporation in particular getting the oil flowing again laura emmett's altie london. well western a through z. as i'm for a liberty and independence faces a tough test next week as palestinian leader is prepared to go flat out and getting un a recognition and although i guess voted by no means certain israel is already cracking down on its less than dedicated settlers as it looks to solidify its position in

the occupied territory. back in. one thousand miles from the north pole. the team is taking you on a trip to spitzbergen on capella go. where twenty years after the us is ours collapsed between life is still going strong. for the world some not. presides over and those. who serve it. has become a target for those overcome by the cold war in the style of. the do something special edition. a call seven police assisted by e.u. forces have taken over two border crossings with serbia in the north of the breakaway region where the locals are mostly ethnic serbs and they've been trying to prevent the takeover by blocking roads through the checkpoints and staging

protests archies sarraf earth has been close to where the border seizure took place . well we're at one of the border crossings you're ready and the roads leading up to it remain bloke's by the protest is now 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 bug blown we can see some of the k. full full says on the ground there we saw helicopters coming across and it is still good you like helicopters dropping off some of the police forces to these crossings also the albanian cause the police they've only actually got two each at 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 over control and that's what much of this dispute rests on now amid concerns of a repeat of what we saw in july when violent clashes over the course think of the making of me to try and take these posts 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 the standoff situation is being called a war of nerves because at both the checkpoints at the barricades is the serbian protesters and then the case full force is at the actual crossings themselves but no one wants to make a move the case full force is they want to make a move to break up the barricades to fair sparking violence and the serbian protest is for exactly the same reasons they don't want to be preventing violence so 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 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. political analysts alexander poverty the nato led mission in costco assisting the breakaway republic

and installing customs controls is violating the u.n. 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 i mean one side they're clearly taking the albanian side the secession is the government in prishtina the capital of course of all we have the security council we have five states each with veto power we have three western states and two 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 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 and when a passionate address palestinian president mahmoud abbas has vowed to seek full

state recognition at the u.n. security council next week well it's a blow to the u.s. which leverage its diplomatic might to derail the bed and watch it 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 to last it has occupied for years artie's policy or takes up the story. 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 they are afraid to talk because. for. the for me or for my drove 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 the west bank settlement now years on he wants to leave but can't because his property has harbored in value since he bought it

for. the world from the same no or because the government doesn't want the people of the west bank of the. agreement was there for the syrians who have to show that it's full of people and the people doesn't want to live in peace is one in two states has pointed out but the government does everything it can to keep them in most of the land here it's there and difficult but that hasn't stopped people from building on it in a long two months no construct and has begun on more than two thousand projects here in the west bank and what is a pilot is 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 just a myth suggests prime minister netanyahu spends nearly

a billion dollars a year just to keep the stations 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 now twenty are who has no plans to leave the statements but godless of what it does to his economy all to the peace process there is no political debate. these are about whether it's right or wrong just doing it. we know about many certain lands and 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. and with them in the way the prospects of peace seem as unlikely as binney rise actually leaving the west bank. palestinian politician had on ashrawi says a palestine to serve sovereign recognition more than some other nations who want there is more easily the sense of sorrow and loss not restoration and anger that

others instantly get recognition and who won't 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 them understand and that we are constantly preventing from getting these things by the israeli occupation of an american administration that really has to see the imperatives of justice i think it's about palestine joins the community of nations as an equal and there's no longer treated as subhuman species that have no rights and euro zone finance ministers meeting in poland say they're delaying a seven billion euro bailout payment to greece where they feel they were left with no choice after athens missed several deadlines but economists around the world are far from happy accusing the e.u. of needlessly jeopardizing greece and pushing it into default all the struggling

country says it will run out of cash next month and will be on able to pay the interest on its debt well the last few months have been plagued by indecision among e.u. 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 laurie harshness found out in new york. well. 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 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 that it is getting we're actually we're 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 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 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 if this didn't happen have you felt the effects at all. yes because i work with a not for profit organization that takes care of women and we're seeing lots more women who don't have insurance and you don't know what do you think would happen if a middle class disappeared. i don't 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. 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 and it's not even in russia it's a town of barren spurred which last i mean a region archipelago called spitsbergen a vibrant soviet neighborhood grew there after mining rights were granted in the one nine hundred twenty s. and even today russia operates a consulate there making it the world's northernmost diplomatic mission but when communism collapsed the community went with it and little strange sense as excited voice i've discovered. it's the 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 about back in soviet times when a region for visiting barons work they don't want to rise. and how prosperous this was well times have obviously kenya where they saw it black as they still attracting a region tourists or barons work cons much needed cash that's why while. our goal is common as was uncovered here a few days ago instead of throwing it away the local administration decided to pay the bill you 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 where you could have some problems with. you so curious to me about this thing goes but now we have a new roof. on. the works. from. back in the nine hundred eighty s. daryn's work was a burgeoning mining community that the soviet union was determined to maintain at all costs. are 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 . all of the cold war it served as the use of sars westernmost outpost now it's one of the soviet union slask preserved relics. barracks bag 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 and trams of profit is 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 thing you know what you can't. you are the local administration is increasingly under pressure to bring the infrastructure up to more than standards these modernization effort it's not very popular with tourist operators if you come into 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

a little 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 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 comfortably familiar. sound like r.c. baron's board spitzbergen archipelago. well a few minutes we'll bring you artie's insight into who sent us on the recession rollercoaster as we report on the bank vultures who are dealing in the death misery of others but first let's get a bit more positive business with yulia. thanks to us and a very warm welcome to the business program three e.u. majors have agreed to take

a fifty percent stake in russia's south stream project the natural gas link will go on to the black sea and then on to eataly and austria it's aimed at reaching europe's growing energy demand italy's any will get a twenty percent stake while germany is windows whole and the french will each get fifteen percent to mature a quarter up with the deputy head of gas problem and ask him how significant the deal is. but finalize the company has to physically need to start a new moses i was there in project the that the law was not all right the polls of course but it took them inside place though and the normal way of it is issue goes a bit by a project with the actual plan and it's not simply to prevent us put eliza project into your time as a field the guests will stop the flow to your job or via black sea in two thousand and fifteen does this actually mean that the project the south stream project is happening but here we live here help you issuance and those a company can sophism you to just study demonstrates that this project is feasible

because let me put it justifiable that this pressure to new york city so the changes if you have the nature of the gas in the euro will means that russia will be the by this of the audience is guess what i believe customers how would you comment the european energy commission is going to give. remarks that south stream now presents a threat to european energy security i was really surprised as well as well as my colleagues because when never never. did it never consume that novel because i come by the defroster for very simple reason because this new projects have different names of a project is not a good time to diversify transit through it's old fashioned guess was the problem markets with customers with their love lives with you need technical experience and burdens of new stadium and my book has an aim to diversify as a sources for supply but i still don't see why this applies but never was

a list that gives this project will happen it will help to me that you showed a month of leo to be in the economy as. well the latest turmoil in the stock market starts concerns over russia's prime says asian plants the sale of seven point six percent as burbank expects it to happen this year in the bonnets central banks and soon a quiet says it will hold depend on the markets. we're currently waiting for a window of opportunity as recommended by our financial consultants the situation is very flexible and global markets have recovered so these give some positive indications but what's most important for us is a stable trained. privatization is possible this year if the situation is right. and the brightest minds in russia are celebrating five years since the opening of the skulk of a business school the project is aimed at creating leaders and help them build businesses that will become international powerhouses more and of course is there

for us. a lot of us banking on this place as it's seen as the platform to the next in the ration of on super nor is it all began when the russian business elite got together and decided to create a school that would rival famous business schools like harvard for hundreds of millions of dollars later and their idea is now a reality it's still secret the country is like in the high flyers and then sort of imports and 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 taking part in real projects and analyzing business activities in countries with rapidly growing economies president the move to madrid of is convinced the project is exactly what russia needs to meet his goals of modernization so the fifth anniversary celebration is not only the opportunity to show the world how for skolkovo has come but so unite the business elite once again and discuss how to

make it even better and one of these ways is apparently to rotate presidents out of the onion has announced that he will be stepping down and filling the shoes will be under way of rappaport the former chairman of alpha bank and current board member financial corp and this is again to show that the school values are different opinions and styles of leadership and the strive to become the best in the industry . and later in the day marina culture will bring us more from. its fifth anniversary since the project was launched so stay with us for that sound from all source you can also had told website archie dot com slash business.
