council now is a seat of the united nations which officially recognized the former rebels in a new resolution easing the sanctions imposed euro get daphne's regime provision was also made for financial assistance from the un for rebuilding the country has gone to church you can reports. 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 concentrate on efforts to undertake inclusive political dialogue promote national recalls alleviation 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 in his support in the council considers lifting the new fly zone over libya particularly as this new fly zone is being violated arbitrarily induced a 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 . 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 u.n. person 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 the 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 the syrians it's servant of the state officially recognized so how do they feel about libya's former rebels being given instant official status. the sense of sorrow and lots and lots of space and. later in the program we speak to palestinian politician one in a stroke who thinks people deserve fair treatment from the international community . the no fly zone over libya remains in force meantime was made to inform the

rebels but the new leadership is pushing to the few remaining gadhafi 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. lorimer explains more. 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. you will have human rights abuses taking. the rebels the national transitional council have promised to hold the fighters 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 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 of 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 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 r.t. london ethnic tensions on serbia's border with breakaway kosovo intensified

following friday's takeover of two disputed border posts caused when police with the assistance of nato led forces have placed customs officers now at checkpoints previously under ethnic serb control locals who tried to prevent what they called the unilateral action of course of those old bailey and first reports from near one of those scenes checkpoints. where one of the border crossings are you ready and the roads leading up to it remain bloke's by the protesters now we actually can get team 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. for forces on the ground there we saw helicopters coming across and the 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 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 now amid concerns repeat of what we saw in july when violent clashes over the course of the government king and me to try and take this 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 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 case full force is at the actual crossing themselves ok no one wants to make it be the case full force if they want to make a move to break up the barricades the fear is sparking violence and the serbian protest is for exactly the same reasons they don't want to be. preventing 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 on his course producer for from the border post no it's not a public political analysts from both grade told me he thinks the nato led mission in kosovo is violating a un mandate by siding with prishtina on the border crossing your shoe. ok for meaning 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 these the session is the government in prishtina the capital of kosovo we have the security council we have five states each with veto power we have three western states in 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

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 they say follower of news including down to a very basic question. 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 of bad 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 uprising poverty that's to come for you then also check out the world's northernmost monuments to tourists flocking to a surprising relic of the soviet.

one thousand miles from the north pole. the art team is taking you on a trip to spitzbergen archipelago. where twenty years after the u.s.s.r. collapsed the suv between life is still going strong. in the world some northernmost statue of lenin presides over a ghost town where the suv it. has become a tourist site for those overcome by the cold war in the style of. the close up special edition. 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 to the physical environment

in which the battlefield takes place tremendous amounts of damage done by aerial bombs by napalm. coming from the city whether it's a sonic boom six factory marine mammals or it's the burning oil fields here in iraq or it's destroyed reefs in the pacific for ramming purposes the list just goes on and on the geneva conventions of nineteen forty nine states that they are shall be taken in the war to protect the involved against widespread long term and severe damage the united states although it is accepted almost all of the provisions of protocol one has taken exception to that. like millions of americans i've lost thousands of dollars in retirement funds and i haven't had as bad as many that's not just about the fifth it's about me to.

me man brad ya gotta share. that same. sentiment and. otaku thing. needed. but now she. says this is my film i get the last word this financial crisis will not be turned off 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 deals a blow of course to israel which may now have to give up the territories it's occupied for decades some settlers now accuse the israeli government of using them

as pawns in a land dispute party's policy reports. he was wanted to meet us here in one of israel's bustling cities he wants to talk but not in his own statement where he's seen as a troublemaker they are afraid to talk because they're for. the for me 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 spanx a home and now years on he wants to leave but can't because he's property has harvard in value since he bought it for. the world from the so no war because the government doesn't want the people of the west bank of the. agreement with the who have to show that it's full of people and the people

doesn't want to live baby says one in two states has pointed out but the government does everything it can to keep them in most of the land here is barren and difficult but that hasn't stopped people from building on it. two months ago constructs and has begun on more than two thousand projects here in the west bank and what 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 just a bit suggest 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 bought them on to the streets in numbers never seen before in israel's history but not on yahoo has no plans to leave the settlements for godless of what it does to his economy all to

the peace process there is no political debate. in israel about whether it's right or wrong just doing it. 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 the israeli army digs in around the city homans and with them in the way the prospects of peace seem as unlikely as binney was actually leaving the west bank policy r t. but has to be a politician who says palestine deserves recognition more than some other nations to gain theirs with these. sense of sorrow and loss not station an 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 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. other parts of justice i think it's about time that palestine. of nations as an equal and there is no longer. a subhuman species right the second look at smaller today's top stories in europe 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. to receive the eight billion euro loan at the end of september pathan says it will run out of money next month and won't be able to pay the interest on his considerable day in the last few months being been plagued by indecision among the leaders on 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 screech is being felt everywhere is very hard to miss found

out of new york. as the global economy continues to struggle poverty levels continue to rise are you feeling that this week let's talk about that me 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 you know basically i'm just living a day by day this is the wrong place to talk about because everything is so expensive so. it's weird but how is that 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 too expensive they're living in israel that's baloney what's baloney that is on the rise you don't believe it is poverty. well

not be able to get the basics in life ok it's 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 on 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 and 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 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.

something completely different if you curious as to how it felt to live in the u.s.s.r. there's one place where the soviet spirit is frozen in time and it's not even in russia we talk about the turn of bad and sport in the arctic circle there is on the map that lives 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 with a third of a special report six on the point of finds out how an old solving a dream still provides a means of survival and there's 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 locals 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 changed where they saw a black is still attracting a region tourists are barons work i would then cons native 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 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 we have some problems with. here so tourists come here but

look this thing goes but now we have a new roof. 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 it a low cost 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 . all of the cold war it served as the u.s. is sars 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. memorabilia is a big hit the defunct are in curtain still helps keep the money flowing guys it's the russians who in your words you can't rubbles are on the ground you are 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 operators if you come into a very authentic place like bond spork i think it 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 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 the morning russian songs
