stories on our t.v. a libya's former rebels now officially represent the country as they get a u.n. seat despite continuing travels for some cities leading to new civilian deaths. meanwhile as repairs it's been for us the recognition is really westergaard settlers who want to leave the say their government just won't let up. and a war of nerves on service border would break away cos of over the standoff the disputed checkpoints following their seizure bypasses the police despite warnings that are pending violence.

is just after five pm here in moscow you're watching r t a libya's national transitional council now has a seat at the united nations which officially 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 u.n. for rebuilding and the country are good at each account has the details. 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 insist 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 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 lot and working 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 all of also the resolution expresses the security council's determination will lift the no fly zone over the leading airspace in the very near future all that provision put forward by washer and a provision that we seek support our members take a listen. in libya very 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 arbitrarily now in views the new reality on the ground and instilling 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 levy 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 general assembly on friday gave libya's un seat to the national transitional council which toppled moment ago although not yet controlling the whole of libya the rebels nevertheless represent their country at the u.n. general assembly next week as for 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 levy or to protect u.n. person personnel their playmates and humanitarian staff but the essence of the french british proposal with regards to lifting the arms embargo is yet quite 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 year that are up for grabs is extremely worrying more clear his army left behind are only 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 offie 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 lead to possibly has to. palestinians are determined to have their state officially recognized so how do they feel about libya's former rebels being given instant official status. the sense of sorrow and loss of my frustration and

anger later in the program to speak to a palestinian politician thinks her people deserve fair treatment from the international community. a no fly zone over libya remains in force as nato and former rebels back the new leadership push into the few remaining gadhafi arkell is 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 silent as artie's war 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 a nato mission and kill civilians. he's right civilians are still being killed but now that gadhafi it's virtually powerless the

people increasingly doing the killing are national transitional council forces together with nato as they attack lead and other piece strongholds are not 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 be supporters really there are real problems on the ground the legacy of such a conflict you will have human rights abuses on both sides i think 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 to kidnap the forces committed some terrible atrocities but also documents a brutal settling of 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 for killing innocent libyans in the lead up to nato is no fly zone being imposed but no such rhetorics being aimed at the empty 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 longton. ethnic tensions or service border with breakaway kossovo intensify following friday's takeover of two disputed border posts kosovan police would be assistance of nato led forces have placed customs officers or checkpoints previously under a mixture of control well locals have tried to prevent what they called the unilateral action of constables albanians r.t. surfer of the courts now from near one of the seas checkpoints where one of the border crossings you're reading and the road leading up to it remain blogs by the protesters we actually can't get much closer when you go up to the front but you're stopped by the barbed wire we can feast some of the cable forces on the ground there 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 two each at each of the checkpoint at the moment and only for the time being in an observatory role now of course the plan is for them to eventually take 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 the government taking only to try and take place resulted in the death of a policeman is actually being relatively quiet here today what we've seen is a huge number of serbian i think so it's turning out at these barricades that what we've got at the moment is a standoff situation is being called a war of nerves because of both the checkpoints and the barricades is the serbian protesters and then the capel forces at the actual crossing themselves ok no one wants to make me think a full force this day will take need to break up the barricades the fear is sparking violence and the serbian protest is for exactly the same reasons they will

. prevail in violence so we have the u.n. security council calling an emergency meeting at the request of serbia and russia and no final decisions were really made for not there are a lot of countries that were unwilling really to make these statements take a group of these control points going ahead despite the warnings from belgrade i'm from russia that this could really lead to further agitation. alexandre pato a political analyst from belgrade thinks that the nato led mission impossible is violating the u.n. mandate by siding with pushkin are on the border crossing issue ok for meeting nato absolutely overstepped their mandate there un mandate it's 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 government increase tonight in the capital of kosovo we have the security council we have five states each with veto power we have three western

states and two man 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 causal 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. well there's a lot more to come for you this hour including a down to earth answers to a very basic process. what's probably. not be able to get the basics then life ok it's been like that since creation is it worse or better it's probably but since it was still newspapers you wouldn't have a job if you stood up and we had the streets of new york to find out how much its people are feeling the pinch of rising poverty. and who

expected to find a statue of lenin and n.p.r. their interests are flocking to a surprising relic of the past. when a passionate address palestinian president mahmoud abbas has vowed to seek a full state recognition at the u.n. security council next week and that's in spite of a u.s. promise to veto any such bit it also deals a blow to israel which may now have to give up the territories it's occupied for decades all some sutlers now accuse israeli government of using them as pawns in a land dispute here's our calls they are. pretty rose 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. because the before him away. from you from my group 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 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 so. so no war because the government doesn't want the. bones of the. agreement with the series he would have to show that it's full of people and the people doesn't want to live he says one in two states has one town but the government does everything it can to keep him in most of the land barren and difficult. that has the building on it in a month no construct one has begun on more than two thousand projects here in the west bank and the policies get extra money from the ministry of education for extra teachers or extra money from the ministry of infrastructure for more interest after

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 decisions going but that has to come from somewhere and tens of thousands of israelis did the maps he answers for them onto the streets in numbers never seen before in israel's history but netanyahu has no plans to leave the statements godless of what it does to his economy a peace process there is no political good. in israel about whether it's right or wrong doing it and we know about many certain lands and the eastern part of the fence where you have a lot of apartments which are empty as palestinians head off to the united nations is really only digs in around decision and with women the way the prospects of peace seem as unlikely as the rise actually leaving the west bank policy r t.

palestinian politician says palestine deserves recognition more than some other nations that gave their. sense of sorrow and loss not station anger that others instantly get recognition instantly those who won't even as prepared as we are and who haven't lived for sixty three years under a brutal military occupation get recognition get statehood get support get an understanding from the international community and yet we are constantly preventing from getting these things by the israeli occupation by an american administration that really pays to see the brotherhoods of justice i think it's about palestine joins the community of nations as an equal and there's no longer. a subhuman species that have no rights. euro zone a finance minister sub delayed until october the decision on another hand out of

rescue cash for greece where they don't think the country is doing enough to cut its massive debt and greece was scheduled to receive the eight a billion a year alone at the end of september adam says it will run out of money next month and won't be able to pay the interest on its considerable debts the last few months have been plagued by indecision among e.u. leaders on how to deal with the system which is now one and a half times the size of its economy but it's not alone the global financial squeeze is being felt everywhere as laurie harford has found out in the uk. 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 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 it in israel we have a lot of people but it's ok you get like it's getting worse there it is getting worse actually where the. big manifests three thousand people. because it's too expensive living in israel that's baloney much colone probably is on the rise you don't believe it was poverty. well not being able to get the basics in life ok it's it's like that since creation is it worse or better it's probably about the same as 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 that happened have you felt the impact at all. yes because i work with. for the organization that takes care of women and we're seeing lots more

women don't have a choice you 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 to be any more american dream there's no more white picket fence and not everyone to be 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. but if you're curious as to how it felt to live in the u.s.s.r. there is one place where the so good spirit is frozen in time and it's not even in russia it's in the town of barons for the arctic circle i mean a region archipelago called spitsbergen a vibrant soviet settlement grew there after mining rights were granted in the nineteenth twenties but when communism collapsed so did the community there third of her special reports a lot of work of 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 buildings still seen over their foundation pipes black smoke over the snow covered peaks the traces of the soviet industrial activity on the burgen archipelago increase the picture if the guiding principle here is the worse the better walk of life that tell the story go back and so we have times when are we visiting barons were they all going to. be and how prosperous this was well times obviously i can't wear this. still attracting original tourists or barons word i would want needed cash that's why when. our dollars common is what i would call right here you days ago instead of throwing it away the local traitor decided to pay the bill you and put it at barron's work central where

communism had long stopped being a lifetime goal but is rapidly becoming the means of livelihood rusty soviet heritage has suddenly become hard to resist a nation 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 retype sort of a bygone era where you have some problems with. the use of the wrist. mubarak this. goes but now we have a new roof. line. from . back in the nineteen eighties there is work was a burgeoning mining community there the soviet union was determined to maintain it cost. to locate it halfway between north america and western europe the spitzbergen archipelago is part of normal range but a special status that allows other countries to set up industrial bases here in the

mid. love the cold war it served as the use of stars westernmost outpost now it's one of the soviet union slask altham tickly preserved relics. very big is essentially a picture of what would have to serve you even if it was cut off from any financial support for two decades it's a curious search 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 trams of profit is far behind local supernews shops between maryville it is a big hit the defunct are in curtain still helps keep the money flowing guys it's a russian thing you're sure but you can't bring rubbles ball licker on us not to 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 tourists all carriers if you come into

a very authentic place like thing good 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 that 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 we try to add more than russian songs to die repertoire it left the audience called all they wanted to hear it was a song comfortably familiar. sound like you are seeing there in sport it's dragging out the caliber. well that wraps up our special coverage from spitzbergen or can always find this and other reports we have all the northernmost outpost of us there with you know all about dot com and also online for you a soft landing for a while while the moderates in the space travelers will return to earth after six
