great. comfort. you need. some. of the. moscow. tonight on r.t. libya's former rebels now officially represent the country as they get a u.n. seat despite new civilian deaths in continuing battles for the last khadafi stronghold got the latest on the program just ahead. in time as palestine prepares its paid for u.n. 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 calling the siege of by possible police despite warnings of pending violence.

well could be watching r t it's now nine pm here in moscow my name's kevin and first for you libya's national transitional council has a seat now at the united nations which officially recognized the former rebels in a new resolution easing the sanctions imposed during get after his regime provision was also made for financial assistance from the u.n. for rebuilding the country is going to future can 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 climate insist is essentially a political operation it would give advice on restoring security but it 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 new and participation is welcomed by all members this is something that watches and wants of 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 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 all that provision could forward by russia and a provision that received support of members take a listen. in libya very charming the situation into political diplomatically and it's important the council considers lifting a 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 it's lifting must be part of the international community's efforts to address the aftermath of the libyan crisis so. the resolution will also ease economic sanctions imposed on libya 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 the general assembly on friday gave leave years u.n. siege to the national transitional council which topple moammar gadhafi although not yet controlling the whole of levy or the rebels 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 calls 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 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 and its potential impact on the green general 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 out for grabs is extremely worrying are only left behind are 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 could offie that's the kind of concern that russia has raised on a number of occasions saying in a care os 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 leave your possibly has to a correspondent in washington to see to it which you can't so libya's former rebels have been given instant official states is how the palestinians sue struggling for

recognition feel about but right now. the sense of sorrow and loss not just a certain anger and rage through the program we speak to callers to the politician who thinks that her people deserve fair treatment from the international community . to libya the no fly zone remains in forces nato and former rebels but the new leadership is pushing to the few remaining. alliances drugs reportedly residential buildings in the town of sirte but the countries that were quick to condemn attacks by the colonel's troops park and watch. gone silent. david cameron and nicolas sarkozy surveyed their handiwork and most senior leaders to visit tripoli since their countries began the nato intervention in libya they say their work is not yet done. until a billion. 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 lead and other gadhafi strongholds and 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 supposedly the supporters clearly there are real problems on the ground there is a legacy of such a conflict that 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 that is a process that we will see from now it doesn't seem to be happening yet the african union and edges the transitional forces are hunting down and killing black africans on the assumption that he 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 of brutal killing of schools by rebel forces including the lynchings of the soldiers meanwhile hometown is one of the last holdouts a letter purportedly from the colonel himself begs. the un security council to protect the search 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.s.b. in fact it's quite the opposite britain sponsored un resolution to ease thanks indicates libya and gates and national oil corporation in particular getting the oil flowing again nor any london both exemptions on serbia's border with breakaway costs of oil intensified following friday's takeover of two disputed border posts from police for the assistance of nato led forces have placed customs officers at checkpoint previously under control and locals of prague prevent what they call the unilateral action of course of those albanians darting sarah firth reports from near one of those scenes checkpoints for e. where one of the border crossings are you ready and the roads leading up to it remain bloke's by the protest is now we actually can't get the much closer when you go up to the front of that cross thing you're stopped by the pablo and we can see some of the k. four 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 cost the police they've only actually got to eat each of the checkpoints at the moment and that 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 best still and now amid concerns of repeat of what we saw in july when violent clashes over the course the government making of me to try and take this place resulted in the death of a policeman it's actually been relatively quiet here today what we stain is a huge number of serbian i think serbians turning out at these barricades with what we could at the moment it's a standoff situation is being called a lord knows because that 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 take a full force if they want to make me have to break up the barricades the fear is sparking violence and the serbian protest is for exactly the same reasons they they were. predicting 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 verse these control points going ahead despite the warnings from belgrade i'm from russia that this could really lead to further agitation. of a border checkpoints or refer to alexander public she's a political analyst from belgrade because we think the nato led mission in kosovo's violating the un mandate was siding with pristina on the border crossing issue right now. ok for meeting nato have absolutely overstepped their man being their 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 have clearly taken the albanian side sees the session as the government increased in either the capital of course or we have the security council were we have five states each with a veto we have three western states and two non western states so really if the west decides to support any unilateral action it's because you can't stop it so it's not surprising they been sponsoring the 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. live from moscow this say still plenty to come they say of news including down to earth answers to a very basic question. what's poverty. wow not being 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 was sell newspapers you wouldn't have

a job if this didn't happen. we hit the streets of new york funded how much it's people that are feeling the pinch of rising poverty right now i've got some interesting answers coming back to that later in the program also check out the world's most the most monument to lenin there it is tourists of flocking to surprise a relic of the soviet past. back in. one thousand miles from the north pole. is taking you on a trip to spitzbergen entrepreneur ago. where twenty years after the us was sars the soup between life is still going strong. with the world's. statue of lenin presides over and those. has become a tourist site for those overcome by the cold war nostalgia.

the close up special edition an arche. line. well one 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. napalm. chemicals. whether it's hard sonic. mammals or it's the burning oil field syria or iraq or straw. for planning purposes the list just goes on and on the geneva conventions of nineteen forty nine states that shall be taken in war to protect the involved against widespread long term and severe damage to the united states. although it is accepted that almost all of the previous protocol has taken exception to that.

in a passion to address palestinian president mahmoud abbas is vowed to seek full state recognition of the un security council next week but since spite of us promise to veto any such bid it also feels a blow of course to israel which may now have to give up the territories it's occupied for decades some settlers no accuse the israeli government impede of using them as pawns in a land dispute paula sleep as the story. he was wanted to meet us here in one of israel's bustling cities he wants to talk but not in his own social meant but he's seen as a trouble maker. for broke because. for me a former drove pinney 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 buy

a house he didn't have the money so they offered him a cheap point 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 hard in value since he bought it for. from so no more because the government doesn't want people. there was burnt after the. agreement with the spirit of to show that it's full of people in the other want to live he says one in two states as a point out that the government does everything it can to keep him in most of the land here barren and difficult. about how big it's not good in the long run no constitution has begun on more than two thousand projects here in the west bank and what is a 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 circus 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 the system it's 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 netanyahu has no plans to leave assessments the goddess of what it does to his economy alter the peace process there is no political gain. hating israel about whether it's right or wrong just doing it and we know about many certain lands and the eastern part of france where you have a lot of apartments which are and thing as palestinians head off to the united nations he's really only digs in around decisions and with him in the way the prospects of peace seem as unlikely as any rise actually leaving the west bank policy r.t.

. palestinian politician one told us palestine deserves recognition more than some other nations they're going to release the sense of sorrow and loss but not restoration and anger that others instantly get recognition instantly those who are going to 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 of by an american administration that really pays to see the benefits of justice i think it's about time that palestine joins the community of nations as an equal and there's no longer treated as subhuman speech rights. eurozone finance ministers have delayed now till october the decision on another hand of rescue cash

for greece they don't think the country is doing enough to cut its massive debt crease was shelled receive a billion euro loan at the end of september and says it will run out of money next month from both be able to pay the interest on a considerable debt the last three months have been plagued by in the situation among e.u. leaders on how best 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 the course being felt everywhere is very hard for us 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 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 how is that in israel we have a lot of people but it's ok do you feel like it's getting worse there it is getting worse actually where like it manifests three thousand people manifesting because it's too expensive they're living in israel that's baloney what's below poverty is on the rise believe it is what's poverty. well not being 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 not so why would people manufacture such baloney sell newspapers you wouldn't have a job this is didn't happen have you felt the impact at all. yes because i work with the law for a profit. asian women we're seeing lots more women. what do you think would

happen if the middle class just. 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. whether or not you personally feel the effects of the rising poverty level the bottom line is it seems like this trend isn't going to reverse anytime soon. so a completely different beef you curious as to how it may have felt like to live in the u.s.s.r. one point then there's one place where the soviet spirits frozen in time these days is not even in russia either it's the turn of barons the arctic circle which lives on a norwegian archipelago called spitsbergen a vibrant soviet settlement grew up there after mining rights for granted by the one nine hundred twenty s. but when communism collapsed so did the community so in the third of a special report for our son a boy finds out how an old soviet dream still provides

a means of survival and is also helping preserve the. this is a legacy no one should be proud of heaps of scrap nationally touring pristine arctic landscape building still team over their foundation pipes spewing black smoke over the snow covered peaks the traces of the soviet industrial activity on the spitzbergen are he taliban don't make a pretty picture if the guiding principle here is the worst the better locals like to tell the story about back in soviet times where no regions were visiting barons were off limits. and how prosperous this was well the crimes. are trapped in a region tourists are barons bird and. watch needed cash that's why when. our goal is common is what i would call it here a few days ago and started drawing in the way the local administration decided to

intervene you and i barons work central square communism have long been a lifetime goal but is rapidly becoming the means of livelihood 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 the mysterious types of a bygone era we have some problems with. here so to restore. this. goes but now we have a new roof. on the. work. from. back in the nineteen eighties there was a burgeoning mining community the soviet union was determined to maintain it a low cost to cheaply located halfway between north america and western europe spitzbergen archipelago is part of norway 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. it is essentially a picture of what would have happened to the soviet union if it was cut off from the financial support for two decades it's a curious thing for western tourists and i think it could be even more appealing for russian trains to keep its presence on screens bergan russia is still maintaining a coal mine here but and chance of profit is far behind local seven year shops between marriage bill it is a big hit that it front are in kirton still cults keep the money flowing guys it's a russian so you're sure you can't be rivals for on the ground also your. local administration is increasingly under pressure to bring the infrastructure up to modern standards these modernization efforts are not very popular with tourist

operators 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 a local band has become akin to when they try to add morning russian songs to director of who are the audience called who wanted to hear it was a song comfortably familiar. sound like r.c.u. there in support you could strike an archipelago. well how do you join those who is a reporter examiner wraps up our special coverage from spitzbergen for now we can still find more about the reports and more about the northernmost outpost of the stuff you know our website. well there as well these stories get more hits than

either soft landing of ward welcome. for a team of space travelers they return to earth after a six month stint at the international space station and dramatic pictures of a very sad story coming up the bottom line and i've yet to show tragedy in the u.s. a seventy four year old stunt pilot crashed his plane why did suspect taters awful story the details the pictures the mind tonight for most of all to come from the port authority. he. says.
