who tells some of the country house holiday is the full mattel's to remember that the creamy to choose to feel the most acute in the world pull the ribbons herself. tonight so hard see libya's former rebels now officially represent the country as they get a u.n. seat despite new civilian deaths and continuing battles for the last get up in strong. meanwhile as palestine prepares its been for you in recognition israeli west bank settlers who want to leave say their government just won't let them. and a war of nerves on serbia's border with breakaway kossovo with a standoff a disputed checkpoints following the seizure by cost of a police despite warnings of pending violence we've got the latest on the developing story to.

welcome this is our see it's eight pm now here in moscow my name is kevin know it in our top story libya's national transitional council now is a seat at the united nations which officially recognized the former rebels in a new resolution easing the sanctions imposed during good daffy's regime provision is also made for financial assistance from the un for rebuilding the country is going to change you can report. 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 inward diplomats insist it 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 great a new constitution and that kind of u.n. presence and creation is welcomed by all members this is something that russia's

envoy 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 will 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 leading airspace in the very near future well that's a provision put forward by russia and a provision that we seek the support of our members take a listen. in libya very charming the situation into political diplomatically and in support of 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 its 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 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 general assembly on friday gave libya's un seat to the national transitional council which toppled moammar gadhafi although not yet controlling the whole of levy or the rebels nevertheless represent their country at the u.n. general assembly next week as with 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 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

libya and its potential impact on the regional peace everyone seems to be on the same page in the security council has clearly expressed those concerns the amount of weapons in libya that are out for grabs is it really worrying more production is left behind are only brimming with weapons and the rebels have helped themselves those weapons need very well wind up in the hands of people who have other agendas then defeating could offer 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. palestinians are determined to have this state officially recognized so how do they feel about libya's former rebels being given instant official status. the sense of sorrow and loss less space

than anger later in the program we speak to palestinian politician one and a shrug who thinks people deserve fair treatment from the international community. the no fly zone over libya remains in force meantime as nato and former rebels backed the new leadership push into the few remaining gadhafi enclaves alliances strikes reportedly had 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 gone silent no ice is law and that explains all. 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 all with a new mission 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 nato insists they're targeted attacks but there are reports of m.t.c. reprisals against suppose it could duffy supporters clearly there are real problems on the ground as a legacy of such a conflict will have human rights. on both sides the rebels transitional council have promised to hold their own fighters to account and 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 there is the rebels are guilty of unlawful

killings and torture it takes pains to point out it's afy forces committed some terrible atrocities but also documents of brutal stickling of scores by rebel forces including the lynchings of gadhafi soldiers meanwhile he'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 as no fly zone being imposed but no such rhetoric spin aimed at the m.t.c. 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 nor emmett's r.t. london. ethnic tensions on serbia's border with breakaway kosovo intensified following friday's takeover of two disputed border posts cause of and police with the assistance of nato led forces have placed customs officers now at checkpoints previously under ethnic serb control and try to prevent what they call the unilateral action of course of those albanians and i think sarah firth reports from near one of those scenes checkpoints. where one of the border crossings you're ready and afraid leading up to it remained blocks by the protesters we actually can't get too much place when you go up to the front of that cross thing you're stopped by the law and we can see some of the cable forces on the ground that we saw helicopters coming across and i saw the you like helicopters dropping off some of the police forces to these crossings also the albanian constant police

they've only actually got to eat at each of the checkpoint at the moment and 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 repeat of what we saw in july when violent clashes over the course think of 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 seen is a huge number of serbian i think servants turning out at these barricades but what we've got at the moment is a standoff situation it's been called a war of nose because of both the checkpoints of the barricades is the serbian protesters and then the cable forces at the actual crossing 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 exactly the same reasons they they

won't be prevailing call and 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 to further agitation and france's course producer for from the border post no it's not a public political analysts from both gray told me he thinks the need to let mission in kosovo is violating u.n. mandate by siding with prishtina on the border crossing your shoe. ok for meeting nato has 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 of the secession is the government increased tonight in the capital of kosovo we have the security council were we have five states each with veto power you 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 kosovo 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. i want you all to international live from moscow thanks for being with us plenty more to come of news including down to earth system a very basic question. what's poverty. well i'll not be able to get the basics then life ok it's that's like that says creation is it worse or better it's probably about the same as it always was sell newspapers you wouldn't have a job if this didn't happen the way the streets of new york thought of how much it's people right now feeling the pinch of rising puppets and that's to come for

you then also check out the world's most of the most monuments to lenin tourists are flocking to a surprising relic of the soviet. decades back in top. one thousand miles from the north pole. the arctic is taking you on a trip to spitzbergen on a good time ago. where twenty years of contribution to sars collapsed soon between life is still going strong. in the world some long statue of lenin presides over and those are the suv it. has become a tourist site for those overcome by the cold war in the style of. the close up special edition on our t.v. .

well when one deals with war for us to realize that this tremendous amounts of damage that are done not just human damage but damage the physical environment in which the battlefield takes place tremendous amounts of damage done by aerial bombs for napalm. coming from the city whether it's market sonic boom sea factory marine mammals or it's the burning oil fields here in iraq or it's strong reefs in the pacific for grammy purposes to list just goes on and on the geneva conventions of nineteen forty nine states that there shall be changes in the war to protect one's life can still widespread long term and severe damage the united states although it is accepted almost all of the provisions protocol one has taken exception to that.

but millions of americans have lost thousands of dollars in retirement funds and i haven't had as bad as many it's not just the valley of death it's about need to. be man brown ya gotta ship. at sea. and land. and accede otaku thing. needed. but now he. says this is my film i get the last word this financial crisis will not be for golf like a light switch. in a passionate address palestinian president mahmoud abbas has vowed to seek full

state recognition at the u.n. security council next week yes in spite of a u.s. promise to veto any such bid it also goes a blow of course to israel which may now have to give up the territories it's occupied for decades some settlers know accuse the israeli government of using them as pawns in a land dispute party's policy reports. pinney was wanted to meet us here in one of israel's bustling cities he wants to talk but not in his own station and where he's seen as a troublemaker. for the book because. for me for most of the beneath it won't be 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 my house he didn't have the money so they offered him 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.

so no or because the government doesn't want the. bones of the. agreement with. the show that it's full of people doesn't want to live he says one in two states has pointed out but the government does everything it can to keep him in most of the land here is barren and difficult. about what's. going on in a few months ago constitution has the ban on more than two thousand projects here in the west bank and the 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 is timid suggest prime minister netanyahu spends nearly a billion dollars a year just to keep the station on his 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 netanyahu has no plans to leave decisions regardless of what it does to his economy alter the peace process there is no political deal. in israel about whether it's right or wrong doing it and we know about many certain learned some part of the fence where you have a lot of apartments which are and think as palestinians head off to the united nations is really only digs in iran decision and and with women the way it prospects of peace seem as unlikely as the rise actually leaving the west bank policy r t. but still you politician says palestine deserves recognition wall and some other nations the. sense of sorrow and loss but not an

anger that others instantly get recognition. those who weren'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 of an american administration to see the benefits of justice i think it's about time lines the community of nations has an equal and there's no longer a. subhuman speech. rights to say look at the small of those top stories. finance ministers have delayed until october the decision or another handouts of rescue cash for greece they don't think the country is doing enough at the moment to cut its massive debt christmas show jewel to receive the eight billion euro loan at the end of september path and says it will run out of money next month and won't

be able to pay the interest of its considerable day in the last few months have been plagued by a decision of money you need isn't how to deal with greece's debt which is now one of the half times the size of its economy but it's not alone the global financial screeds is being felt everywhere it's very hard for 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 to manhandle back to my house and 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 there it is getting

worse actually where the. big manifests three thousand people manifesting because it's so expensive living in israel that's below what's below poverty is on the rise you don't believe it was 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 by now 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 the for profit organization that takes care of women and we're seeing lots more women who don't have insurance you know what do you think would happen if a middle class disappeared. i don't think it's ever going to happen i think things are going to get more expensive and there's not be any more american dream there's no more white picket fence and not everyone 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. something completely different if you curious. how it felt to live in the us is there's one place where the soviets are it's frozen in time and it's not even in russia we're talking about the town of balad spork in the arctic circle there is on the map it lies on a norwegian archipelago called spitsbergen a vibrant soviet settlement grew there after mining rights for granted in the one nine hundred twenty s. but when communism collapsed so did the community so in a third of a special report six hundred point zero 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 still to know where their foundation pipes black smoke over the

snow covered peaks the traces of the soviet industrial activity on the bergen our he calendar make a pretty picture if the guiding principle here is the worse the better walk of life the tell the story about back in soviet times when norwegians were visiting barons were they all want to. be and how prosperous this was well times. tracting original tourists or barons work and would watch. that's why when. our goal is common it was uncovered here a few days ago instead of throwing it away the local administration decided to paint it in you and i barons work central square communism have long stopped being a lifetime goal but is rapidly becoming the means of livelihood the rusty soviet heritage has suddenly become

a hard to reach 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 spirit types of a vigeland era where you have some problems with. yourself interests me about. those but now we have a new roof. on. the work. from . back in the nineteen eighties there is work was a burgeoning mining community during the soviet union it was determined to maintain at all costs to cheaply 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 in just a little bases here in the middle. the cold war it served as the us is ours to the most outpost now it's one of the soviet union slask preserved relics.

there in spirit 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 trains to keep its presence on spitsbergen russia is still maintaining a coal mine here but in trance of profit it's far behind local souvenir shops so between mirabelle it is a big hit defunct are in curtain still helps keep the money flowing guys it's the russians when you're sure what's you can't ruggles liquor on the ground also your local administration is increasingly under pressure to bring the infrastructure up to more than standards if these modernization efforts are not very popular with tourists if you come into a very authentic place like barm spoke a thing good 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 the local band has become attuned to when they try to add more than russian songs to director to our club the audience called the wanted to hear it was a song comfortably familiar. sound like our scene there in support is very good now the caliber. place overjoyed that is reported robson of spitzbergen find more about it in other reports we've heard on the northernmost outpost of the sun but you know our website r t v dot com for what it is with plenty. of these stories as well a soft landing a warm welcome home for a team of. space travelers who returned to earth after a six month stint at the international space station the latest from a very good nonce night. and sad story this from the air show tragedy in the u.s.
