now has a seat at the united nations which officially recognized the former rebels in a new resolution easing the sanctions imposed during gadhafi regime provision was also made for financial assistance from the un for rebuilding in the country artie's good education has details. 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 diplomats 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 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. 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 now 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 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 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 the that are up for grabs is extremely worrying

more cautious army left behind armories 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 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. palestinians are determined to have their are state officially recognized so how do they feel about libya's former rebels being given instant official status. the sense of loss the streets in the under later in the program we speak to palestinian politician how. things turn people deserve fair treatment from 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 get off the 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 silent as artie's laura abbott 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 done . 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. 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 is a legacy of such a conflict that you will have human rights abuses taking on both sides rebels 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 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 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 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 laura emmett's altie london. ethnic tensions

on service border with breakaway kossovo intensify following friday's takeover of two disputed border posts cos of a police with the assistance of a nato led forces have placed customs officers at checkpoints previously under ethnic serbs control well locals have tried to prevent what they called the unilateral action of kosovo albanians artists are first reports now from near one of the seas checkpoints where one of the border crossings are you ready and the roads leading up to it remain blogs by the protesters now we actually can't get much closer when you go up to the front of that cross thing by the bubble and we can see some of the k. four forces on the ground there we saw helicopters coming across and still did 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 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 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 serbian and 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 k. 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 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 u.n. security council calling an emergency meeting at the request of serbia in 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 first these control points going ahead despite the warnings from belgrade i'm from russia that this could really lead to further agitation. alexandr pov it supplied ical analysts from belgrade things that the nato led mission in kosovo is violating the un mandated by siding with christian on the border crossing issue ok for meeting nato 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 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

corso independence 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 for you this hour including it down to earth to a very basic question. what. well not be able to get the basics then life ok it's a bit like that it's creation is it worse or better it's probably about the same as it always was so newspapers wouldn't have a job if this didn't happen to hit the streets of new york to find out how much its people are feeling the pinch of rising poverty. and check out the world's northernmost monument to learn that tourists are flocking to a surprising relic still get. well in 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 bid it also deals a blow to israel which may now have to give up the territories it's occupied for decades well some settlers now accusing 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 system 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 a way spanks his home and now years on he wants to leave but can't because his property has harvard in value since he bought it for. going to help.

form the so no war because the government doesn't want the people of the west bank after the. agreement was there for the syrians who have to show that it's full of people and the people of those who want to live in peace is one in two states point out that 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 the building on it in the two months no constructs and has begun on more than two thousand projects here in the west bank and there is a pallet 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 is to me it 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 not twenty or who has no plans to leave the statements for 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 moments and the eastern part of the friend 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 city hall minutes and with women the way the prospects of peace seem as likely as binney rising actually leaving the way spank police e r t. palestinian politician had an usher always says a palestine deserves recognition more than some other nations that gain theirs with ease the sense of sorrow and loss not station an anger that others

instantly get recognition instantly those who weren'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 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 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 a subhuman species right. here is own finance ministers have delayed until october the decision on another hand out of rescue cash for greece but they don't think that the country is doing enough to cut its massive debt greece was scheduled to receive the eight billion a year alone at the end of september biden says it will run out of money next month

as well to be able to pay the interest on its considerable debt the last few months have been plagued by in the session 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 the global financial squeeze is being felt everywhere as laura harford is 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 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 it 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 where the. 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 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 effects at all. yes because i work with the law 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 the 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 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. 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 barren spur in the arctic circle which lies on the norwegian archipelago called spitsbergen. settlement grew there after mining rights were granted in the one nine hundred twenty s. but one communism collapsed so did the community 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 the legacy no one should be proud of heaps of scrap metal littering pristine arctic landscape building stilton over that foundation pipe 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 of the guiding principle here is the worse the better local life to tell the story that back in soviet times when a region for visiting barons work they don't want to express. jealousy at how prosperous this was well times have obviously kenya where they saw a black is still attracting a region tourists or barons work i would then 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 paint the venue and put it at variance 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 where you're so curious to hear about this thing goes but now we have new room. minus. the work. from. back in the nine hundred eighty s. daryn's work was a burgeoning mining community the soviet union was determined to maintain at all costs strategically 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 middle of the. cold war it served as the use of sars westernmost outpost now it's one of the soviet union's last 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 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 in terms of profit it's 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 put in rubbles. you know 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 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. somebody r.c. baron's board bergen archipelago. well that wraps up our special coverage from our spitsbergen but you can still find this and other reports we have of the northern most outposts of the soviet union all of that of r.t. dot com and also online for you right now a soft landing and a warm welcome home for a team of space travelers who returned to earth after six months to. international space station. and air show tragedy in the u.s. as a seventy four year old stunt pilot crash this is vintage plane to spectators you can
