libya's national transitional council now has a seat at the united nations which formally recognized the former rebels in a new resolution easing the sanctions imposed during get off his regime a provision was also made for financial assistance from the un for rebuilding in the country. has the details. one of the things that the new resolution in visions 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 recalls alleviation 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 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 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 the council considers lifting the new fly zone over libya particularly as this new fly zone is being violated arbitrarily 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 it 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 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.s. 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 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 libya that are up for grabs is extremely worrying

more production is far on the left behind 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 nuclear materials that libya possibly has to. well palestinians are determined to have their state officially recognized so how do they feel about libya's former rebels being given instant official status. so a sense of sorrow and loss not frustration and anger later in the program we speak to palestinian politician. thinks her people deserve fair treatment the international community. the no fly zone over libya remains in force

as nato and former rebels back the new leadership's push into the few remaining gadhafi enclaves alliance airstrikes reportedly hit residential buildings in the town of sirte but the countries that were quick to condemn attacks by the colonel's troops back in march seem to have gone as silent as artie's law and that 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 all that cameron and sarkozy are silent to paraphrase george

orwell in animal farm some civilians are more equal than others nato insists that targeted attacks but there are reports of m.t.c. reprisals against suppose it could daffy's supporters clearly there are real problems on the ground the legacy of such a conflict will have human rights abuses taking 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 have. yet the african union alleges that transitional forces are hunting down and killing black africans on the assumption that gadhafi recruited them as mercenaries but it's borne out by reports by amnesty international which that is 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 settling of scores by rebel forces including the lynchings of gadhafi soldiers meanwhile gadhafi is home town 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 for killing innocent libyans in the lead up to nato is no fly zone being imposed but no such rhetorics being aimed at the n.t. sea in fact it's quite the opposite britain's sponsored un resolution to ease sanctions against libya and against the national oil corporation in particular getting the oil flowing again your emmett's altie london ethnic

tensions are serbia's border with breakaway kossovo intensify following friday's takeover of two disputed border posts while calls of an police with the assistance of nato led forces have placed customs officers at checkpoints previously under ethnic serb control while locals have tried to prevent what they call the unilateral action of kosovo albanians. reports now from near one of the seas checkpoints. well we're at one of the border crossings you're ready 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 k. full forces 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 only actually got to. each of the checkpoints at

the moment and they're 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 just. 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 ethnic servants turning out at these barricades but what we've got at the moment is a standoff situation is being called a war of nerves because 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 it be the case for forces they want to make a move to break up the barricades the fears sparking violence and the serbian protest is for exactly the same reasons they don't want to be. provoking violence so we had the un security council calling an emergency meeting at the request of

serbia and russia and no final decisions were really made 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. aleksandr publish a political analyst from belgrade thinks that the nato led mission in cos of zero is violating the un mandate by siding with prishtina on the border crossing issue. 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 the secessionist government in prishtina the capital of course of all we have the security council we're 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 that so it's not surprising they've been sponsoring of course you wouldn't abandon for years now and they're actually thinking that they're entering the endgame now and actually doing a hard push for it right now well there's a lot more to come this hour including down to earth answers to a very basic question. what. well not be able to get the basic then why ok it's been like that since creation is it worse or better it's probably about the same as it always was still newspapers you wouldn't have a job that would be hit the streets of new york to find out how much it's people are feeling the pinch of rising poverty. and who expected to find a statue of lenin and be our tourists are flocking to a surprising relic so good. and what

a passionate address palestinian president mahmoud abbas has vowed to seek a full state recognition at the u.n. security council next week well that's in spite of a u.s. promise to veto any such but it also deals a blow to israel which may now have to give up that territory for decades while some settlers now accuse the israeli government of using them as pawns in a land dispute here's our policy or. spinny 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 people they are afraid to talk because of the talk there for him where from there 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 a way spanks his home and now years on he wants to leave but can't because his property has harmed in value since he bought it so. going to help.

form the so no war because the government doesn't want the people. the west bank after the ones who have agreement with the who have to show that it's full of people in the people who doesn't want to live baby says one in two states point out that 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 community 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 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 not when yahoo has no plans to leave the settlements regardless of what it does to his economy alter the peace process there is no political debate. he's wrong about whether it's right or wrong just doing it and we know about many subtle and eastern part of the friend where you have a lot of partners which are empty as palestinians head off to the united nations the israeli army digs in around the city and with women the way the prospects of peace seem as likely as binney was actually leaving the west bank fully c r t. how listed in politician. palestine deserves recognition more than some other nations that gave their. sense of sorrow and loss not station and

anger that others instantly get recognition instantly those who want. and who haven't lived for sixty three years under a brutal military occupation to get recognition get statehood get support get an understanding from the international community and here we are constantly preventing from getting these things by the israeli occupation by an american administration that clearly to see. justice i think it's about time that palestine joins the community of nations as an equal and there's no longer treated as a subhuman species right. euro zone finance ministers have delayed until october the decision on another handout of rescue cash for greece where they don't think the country is doing enough to cut its massive debts well greece was scheduled to receive the eight billion euro loan at the end of september athens says it will run

out of money next month and won't be able to pay the interest on his considerable debt the last few months have been plagued by in the session among e.u. leaders it's 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 in the global financial squeeze is being felt everywhere i saw a half of us 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 of manhattan back to my house in central jersey which was i abandoned two years ago. out of work so you know 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 it in israel we have a lot of people but it's ok you feel like it's getting worse than it is getting we

actually were like big manifests three hundred thousand people manifesting because it's too expensive they're living in israel that's baloney what's baloney property 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 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 if this didn't happen have you felt the impact at all. yes because i work with. the organization that takes care of women but we're seeing lots more women. 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 to 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. now 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 and it's not even in russia it's a town of barons berg and the arctic circle which lives on a norwegian archipelago called spitsbergen a vibrant a soviet settlement grew there after mining rights were granted in the one nine hundred twenty s. but when communism collapsed so did the community there in the third of her special reports on a boycott finds out how an old soviet dream still provides a means of survival and is also helping preserve the past. it's a 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 like to tell the story about back in soviet times when norwegians were visiting barons were they don't want to. be and how prosperous this settlement was well times have obviously a change when they saw it lags say it's still attracting a region tourists are barons work i would then commerce 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 paint the new 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 types of a bygone era we have some problems with. here so tourists. this thing goes but now we have a new roof. minus. the work. from. back in the nine hundred eighty s. there was a burgeoning mining community that the soviet union was determined to maintain at all costs strategically located halfway between north america and western europe bergen archipelago is part of norway but a special status that allows other countries to set up industrial bases here in middle the. of the cold war it served as the us is ours westernmost outpost now it's one of the soviet union slask preserved relics. it is essentially

a picture of what would have happened to the soviet union if it was cut off from 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 trams of profit is far behind local souvenir shops so obviously my bill it is a big hit the defunct aren't curtain still helps keep the money flowing guys it's a russian thing your what's your current playing rivals are 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 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 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 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 it left the audience called all they wanted to hear was a song comfortably familiar. sound like r.c.u. downes bored kids are going out to calibrate. all this wraps up our special coverage from spitzbergen what you can still find this and other reports we've had on. this go to our dot com and also online for you. don't want to welcome home for a team of space travelers who returned to earth after six months in that. the international space station. and the air show tragedy in the u.s. as a seventy four year old stunt pilot crashes has been touched way into spectators
