just after six pm here in the russian capital you're watching r.t. now libya's national transitional council 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 provision was also made for financial assistance from the u.n. for rebuilding and the country or it is going it has the details. 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 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 washes and going to
10:02 am
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 implemented the previous u.n. resolution aiming at protecting civilians the country found itself in a full scale civil war with civilians suffering involved also the resolution expresses the security council's determination it will 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 seek to 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 induce the new reality on the ground into 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
10:03 am
libyan crisis so. the resolution will also ease economic sanctions imposed on libya and make sure the billions of dollars of assets frozen by the security council in february in 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 moment with r.t. although not yet controlling the whole of lead here 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 calls for removing a ban on small arms supplies to leave you to protect us personnel diplomats and humanitarian staff but the essence of the french british proposal with regards to lifting the arms embargo is yet quite big so there might be some tension over the issue there anyway when it comes to concerns over the proliferation of arms in the
10:04 am
e.p.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 view that are out for grabs is the screen really worrying more clear he's hardly left behind are bringing with the 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 in 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 in our first place from anger later in the program we speak to palestinian politician hunt and i
10:05 am
shrug we think certain people deserve fear or treatment from the international community. the no fly zone over libya remains in force as nato and former rebels back the new leadership question to the few remaining off the are close 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 or emirates like. 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 we were born with a nato mission and kill civilians. working 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
10:06 am
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 daffy supporters clearly there are real problems on the ground there is 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 fighters 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 all guilty of
10:07 am
unlawful killings and torture it takes pains to point out to kids afi forces committed some terrible atrocities but also document the 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 nato and has 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 rhetoric spin aimed at the n.t. sea in fact it's quite the opposite britain's concert u.n.
10:08 am
resolution to ease sanctions against libya and against the national oil corporation in particular getting the oil flowing again your emmet london. border with breakaway kossovo intensify following friday's takeover of two disputed border posts well cost of a police with the assistance of nato led forces have placed customs officers at checkpoints previously under ethnic serbs control the locals have tried to prevent what they called the unilateral action of kosovo's albanians artists are for reports are for near one of the scenes checkpoints. where one of the border crossings are you ready and the roads leading up to it remain bloke's by the ethnics a protest is now we actually can't get too much place when you go up to the front of that cross thing by the pablo and we can feast on the take a full force is on the ground there we saw helicopters coming across and it is still that you like helicopters dropping off some of the police forces to these
10:09 am
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 a the control and that's what much of this to speak now amid concerns of a repeat of what we saw in july when filing clashes over the course because the 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 stain 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 the basic checkpoints of the barricades is the serbian protesters and in the case all forces at the actual crossings themselves ok no one wants to make a move the castell forces they want to make needs a great cut the barricades the fierce barking violence and the serbian protest is
10:10 am
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 for not there were a lot of countries that were unwilling really to make a statement take a few of these control points going ahead despite the warnings from belgrade and from russia that this could really lead to further agitation. alexandr partnership political analyst from belgrade thinks the nato led mission in kossovo is violating the u.n. mandate by siding with pushing 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 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 are being inside these the session is the government increased to the capital of course of all we have the security council we have five states each with veto power we
10:11 am
have three western states and two none was two 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 of the third endgame now there are actually doing a hard course for it right now. there's a lot more to come for you this hour including down to earth as are still a very basic question. what bobby. well not be able to get the basic then like ok it's it's been like that since creation is it worse or better it's probably but since it was still newspapers we wouldn't have a job if this didn't happen we have the streets of new york to find out how much its people are feeling the pinch of rising property. and who expected to find a statue of lenin in the arctic turks are flocking to
10:12 am
a surprising relic of the soviet past. 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 but it also deals a blow to israel which may now have to give up the territories it's occupied for decades now some settlers accuse israeli government of using them as pawns in a land dispute here's our policy or. he was wanted to meet us here in one of israel's bustling cities he wants to talk but not in his own signalman way he's seen as a trouble maker they are afraid. because. for me or for my view of pinney won't shut up he says he's tired of being used as a pawn by the government thirty years ago the state made it easy for him to buy a house he didn't have the money so they offered him
10:13 am
a cheap one the only catch it was in a wasteland settlement now years on he wants to leave but can't because his property has hard in value since he bought it for. resale no or because the government doesn't want the. bones of the. agreement with. those who want. he says one in two states has pointed out that the government does everything it can to keep him in most of the land here is barren and difficult but that has been the building on in a few months ago constructs and has begun on more than two thousand projects here in the west bank and the quality's 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 circus these were the biggest incentives
10:14 am
that are not written anywhere in the book is to me it 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 diplomats the answers will come onto the streets in numbers never seen before in israel's history but netanyahu has no plans to leave decisions regardless of what it does to his economy all to the peace process there is no political. in israel about whether it's right or wrong doing it and we know about many so to learn to use them proud of their friends where you have a lot of documents which are empty as palestinians head off to the united nations is really army digs in the wrong decisions and with women the way it prospects of peace are seen as unlikely as the rise actually leaving we spank policy r t.
10:15 am
palestinian politician had on a shrug palestine deserves recognition more than some other nations again with ease the sense of sorrow and loss not frustration and anger that others instantly get recognition and stoically 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 straight get support get an understanding from the international community and you're constantly preventing from getting a response by the israeli occupation of an american administration that really hates to see them but it looks of justice i think it's about palestine going to the community of nations as an equal and there's no longer. the subhumans pre-sentence rights. here is old finance ministers have delayed until october the decision on another hand out of rescue cash for greece it all think that the country is doing
10:16 am
enough to cut its massive debts greece was scheduled to receive the eight billion euro loan at the end of september apple says it will run out of money next month and won't be able to pay the interest on its considerable debt alas he wants a big played by in the situation among e.u. leaders on how to deal with greece is debt 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 laura harford is spelled 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
10:17 am
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 worse actually with like big manifest three thousand people manifesting because it's too expensive 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 then life ok it's it's been like that since creation is it worse or better it's probably about the same as always was so you're not by now so why would people many perhaps you're such baloney sell newspapers you wouldn't have a job it is that happened 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 choice from you know what do you think would happen if
10:18 am
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 it felt. 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 the town of balance in the arctic circle which lies in a region archipelago called it's bergen a vibrant soviet settlement grew there after mining rights are granted in the one nine hundred twenty s. but when communism collapsed so did the community there and a third of her special reports excited 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 lifetime goal but is rapidly becoming the means of livelihood the rusty soviet heritage has suddenly become a hard to reach destination for the 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 types of a bygone era where you could have some problems through. the years of tourists. this thing goes but now we have a new roof. on my. work. from. that in the nineteen eighties there was a burgeoning mining community there the soviet union was determined to maintain at all costs to a degree located halfway between north america and western europe which pittsburgh an archipelago is part of norway but a special status that allows other countries to set up industrial bases here in the
10:21 am
. of the cold war it served as the use of stars westernmost outpost now it's one of the soviet union's last preserved relics. it is simply a picture of what would have happened to the serviette 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 russian film and t.v. in a coal mine here but and trance of profit is far behind local supernews shops. is a big hit that it banks are in kirton still helps keep the money flowing because it's a rushing through in your words you can't put in rubbles or on the ground euros the local administration is increasingly under pressure to bring the infrastructure optimal than standards these modernization efforts are not very popular with tourists operators coming to
