they're. very. dynamic. to do three. months. stories on our team as libya's new government gets ready for its new when seated reaps the overachievers cash there are fears that up wavering support for the former rebels may see more civilian casualties. also but police and the e.u. peacekeeper sees two checkpoints on the northern border with serbia ignoring locals protests and warnings of escalating violence and also. it's about palestine joins the community of nations that's an important and there's no longer be there but there's a subhuman species that have not aren't palestinian leaders to the far you was vetoed brad said val to launch a statehood recognition bid with the u.n. security council next week.

it's just after three 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 seat at the general assembly although the n.c.c. is not yet in full control of the country although you are it's also agreed to lift some of the sanctions imposed on colonel gadhafi regime artie's going to check out explains. 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 inward diplomats insist is essentially a political operation it would give advice on restoring security but would cause a trade 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 watches and going to 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 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 we see the support of our members take a listen. in libya very charming the situation into political diplomatically and it's important the council considers listing the new fly zone over libya particularly as this no fly zone is being violence is arbitrary now induce the new

reality on the ground maintaining the new fellows whom you longer make 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 the pains 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 parliament for the r.v. although not yet controlling the whole of levy or the rebels nevertheless represent their. country at the u.n. 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 levy or 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 so there might be

some tension over the issue there anyway when it comes to concerns over the proliferation of arms in the n.b.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 year that are up for grabs is extremely worrying warmer pulled out his army left behind are dreaming with the actions 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 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 nuclear materials that libya possibly has to go on the ground in libya five years backing the new leadership continued to pound what's left of the old regimes few remaining holdouts

all civilian casualties are still a very real possibility but the country is quick to condemn gadhafi is assaults on the rebels back in march seems to have gone quiet as are more evident straits. 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 on with the nato mission and the billion. 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 and 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 such a conflict that you will have human rights abuses on both sides the rebels from this rebels who have promised to hold their own fighters to account 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 porno 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 forces committed some terrible atrocities but also document a brutal settling of scores by rebel forces including the lynchings of the soldiers meanwhile people are happy as 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 is to tackle what it describes his crimes by the forces of the new government civilian deaths all seemingly assured. that. cameron and sarkozy were quick to condemn gadhafi killing innocent libyans in the lead up to nato is no fly zone being imposed but no such rhetoric spin aimed at the n.p.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 your emmett's altie london a western at the for liberty of independence faces a tough test next week as follows signal leader is prepared to go flat out and

getting us recognition and a well yes vote is by no means certain israel's already cracking down on its less than dedicated sutlers as it looks to solidify its position occupied territories. decades back in. one thousand miles from the north pole. the iraqi team is to keep going to trip to spitzbergen archipelago. where twenty years after the u.s.s.r. scola the subregion way of life is still going strong. but the world's no longer statue of lenin presides over a go. to sleep it. has become a tourist site for those overcome by the cold war in the south. the close up special edition. because of and police assisted by e.u.

forces have taken over two border crossings with serbia in the north of the breakaway region but the locals are mostly ethnic serbs and they've been trying to prevent the takeover by blocking roads through the checkpoints and staging protests already sarah ferguson close to where the water seizure took place where one of the heated pool of course things you're ready and afraid leading up to it remain blogs by the protest is we actually can't get the much closer when you go up to the front of that cross thing you're stuck by the bubble and we can feast on the pick a full forces on the ground there we saw helicopters coming across in a school that you like helicopters dropping off some of the police forces to these crossings also the albanian cause the police they've only actually got to. each of the checkpoints at the moment and that but only 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 just now amid concerns of 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 seen is a huge number of the serbian i think serbians turning out at these barricades but what we've got at the moment is a standoff situation is being called a lord knows because at both the checkpoints of the barricades is the serbian protesters and then the capel forces at the actual crossings themselves ok no one wants to make me take a full force if they want to make me have to break up the barricades the theory is sparking violence and the serbian protest is for exactly the same reasons they don't want to be provoking violence so we have the un 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 that. take a verse these control points going ahead despite the warnings from belgrade i'm

from russia that this could really to take. political analysts alexander pov it says the nato led mission impossible assisting the breakaway republic and installing customs controls is violating the un mandate ok for meeting nato overstepped their man being their un mandate is clear they're supposed to be neutral ground where they're supposed to be keeping the peace they're not supposed to be taking any one side they have clearly taken the albanian side the secessionist government prishtina of 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 corso independence for years now and they are actually thinking that the endgame

now and actually doing a hard push for it right now oh in a passionate address palestinian president mahmoud abbas has vowed to seek full state recognition at the u.n. security council next week and it's a blow to the u.s. which leveraged its diplomatic might to derail the bid and which it now promises to veto but that's not stopping worries from growing in with the very real possibility it may soon have to return once it has occupied for years artist policy or takes up the story. pinney was wanted to meet us here in one of israel's busting cities he wants to talk but not in his own safe home and where he's seen as a troublemaker. for broke because the. former view of it to me 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 line the only catch it was an away spent settlement now years on he wants to leave but can't because his property has hard in value since he bought it. from the same no or because the government doesn't want people in. the west bank of the. agreement with have to show that it's full of the people of gaza want to live in peace is one in two stateless point out that the government does everything it can to keep them in most of the land here is barren and difficult but that has. no constitution has begun on more than two thousand projects here in the west bank 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 settlers these were the biggest incentives there are not written anywhere in the book history 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 did the math the answers brought them onto the streets in numbers never seen before in israel's history but now twenty are who has no plans to leave the station and the goddess of what it does to his economy all to the peace process there is no political deal. in israel about whether it's right or wrong they're just doing it and we know about many certain lands and the eastern part of the event 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 stations and with women the way the prospects of peace seem as unlikely as the rise actually leaving the west bank police here are t. . palestinian politician hand after all he says how let's start this sort of sovereign

recognition more than some other nations who want there are more easily the sense of sorrow and loss of space than anger that others instantly get recognition instantly those who weren't even as prepared as we are and who have been to the core sixty three years under brutal military occupation get recognition get statehood get support get an understanding from the international community and here we are constantly preventing from getting a response by the israeli occupation by an american administration that really has to see. justice i think it's about time that palestine joins the community of nations as an equal and is no longer. a subhuman species have no rights. now years old finance ministers meeting in poland say they're delaying an eight 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 of a struggling country says it will run out of cash next month and will be unable to pay the interest on its debts for 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 laura harshness found out in 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 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 because here everything is so expensive so. it's weird but how is that in israel we have a lot of people but it's ok you feel like it's getting worse there it is getting worse actually where the. big manifests three thousand people manifesting because it's too expensive they're living in israel as 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 that's like that since creation is it worse or better it's very much the same as it always was so you're not by now so why would people manufacture such baloney sell newspapers you wouldn't have a job if this didn't happen have you felt the impact on all. yes because i work with the not for profit organization that takes care of women and we're seeing lots

more women who don't have insurance 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's we will know 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. which fell 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 in the town of balad sport which lies on a norwegian 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 change since as accent of

work i discovered. it's the legacy no one should be proud of keats of scrap metal littering pristine arctic landscape building stilton over their 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 walk of life to tell the story back in soviet times when a region for visiting barons word they don't want to grasp. at how prosperous this was well times obviously i can't read this article agassi is still attracting a region tourists are bearing the word i would. much needed cash that's why one goes bad they're rooting our goal is common as 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 work found trolls 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 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 to retire soviet bygone era where you could have some problems with. the use of tourists from iraq this. goes but now what have you removed. from. that in the nineteen eighties there was a burgeoning mining community the soviet union was determined to maintain at all costs. are located halfway between north america and western europe spitzbergen archipelago is part of norway but a special status that allows other countries to set up in just bases here in the

middle of. cold war it serves as the use of sars westernmost outpost now it's one of the soviet union slask altho preserved relics. burns big 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 west interested i think it could be even more appealing for russian craven's to keep its presence on spitsbergen russia is still maintaining a coal mine here but and chance of profit is far behind local souvenir shops so between mirabelle it is a big hit that it can't are in kirton still helps keep the money flowing guys it's the russians who in your words you can't be rivals for almost nothing could grow on the euros the local administration is increasingly under pressure to bring the infrastructure up to more than standards these modernization efforts are not very

popular with tourist operators if you're coming from a very authentic place like sport or think it 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 i think 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 because the audience called all they wanted to hear was a song cough the belief and there were. some we are see there in sport is broken archipelago. by the way for your team needs a multi grammy award winning musician whose genius said jazz to a higher plane but before that it's business with.

colognes very well welcome to your business update three e.u. energy 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 italy and austria it's aimed at meetings europe's growing energy demand italy is any will get a twenty percent stay while germany is went to school and the french will each get fifteen percent commission of the day incur caught up with the deputy head of gas prom and ask him how significant the deal is. wicker finalize the company has to physically need to start you know the saws they project and that allow us know when the balls are going but it took him inside place though and as a normal way of putting his issue alone was a big bad project with our actual plan and it's not simply the current us but eliza project or is it you time it's a field of gas will stop the flow to europe via black sea in two thousand and fifteen does this actually mean that the project the south stream project is

happening during the year calculations and goals a comprehensive is really just lead to demonstrate that this project is feasible because let me put it justifiable for this passion in the eurozone recent changes since as you know natural gas in the euro will means that russia will be in the position the audience is guess the european customers how would you comment the european energy commissioner going to his. remarks that south stream now presents a threat to european energy security i was really surprised as well as as well as my colleagues because when never never. give it never conceived of not will because a competitive project for very simple reason because this new projects have different names of projects just starting to employ diversify plans it through its old fashioned gas was the problem markets with customers with a populace with unique technical experience including the new stadium and not booka

as it aim to diversify as a sources for supply but i still don't see why this applies but nevertheless it gives us pause it will happen it's good to help to me that you showed a month of leeway to be in the economy is. the latest turmoil in the stock market spurred concerns of a rush friday zation plans for sale of seven point six percent of expected to happen this year is in the balance central banks will soon it says it will all 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 give some positive indications but what's most important for us is a stable dreamed. of privatisation is possible to see if the situation is right. and the brightest minds in russia are celebrating five years since the opening of the hawk of a business school project is aimed at creating leaders and help them build

businesses that will become international powerhouses were in a course right is there for us. a lot is banking on this place as it's seen as the platform to greet the next generation of entrepreneurs it all began when the russian business elite got together and decided to create a school that would rival famous business schools like harvard all 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 dmitry medvedev as convinced the project is exactly what russia needs to meet his goals of modernization so the fifth anniversary celebration is the only opportunity to show the world how four spoke

about 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 reuben one of the neon has announced that he will be stepping down and filling their shoes will be under way of rapoport the former chairman of alpha bank and current board member of financial corp and this is again to show that the school values of different opinions and styles of leadership and the strive to become the best in that industry. it's all a business news for not more stories you can log onto our website r.t. dot com slash business.
