the future. on r.t. tonight 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 paragraph in strongholds. meanwhile as palestine prepares its speed for un recognition of israeli west bank settlers one of the lead say that god will just let them. out of war of nerves on serbia's border with breakaway kosovo with a standoff a disputed checkpoints following this seems you buy cars of a police despite warnings of pending violence.

watching r t i'm kevin zero in a very good evening she would snow just after eleven pm here in moscow and our top story libya's national transitional council 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 is also made for financial assistance from the u.n. for rebuilding the country he's going to if you can has the details. one of the things that the new resolution inventions is a special u.n. support mission in libya that will be set up for an initial three months to help inward diplomats insist 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 recalls alleviation and generally help the government in libya organize elections and great a new constitution and that kind of u.n. participation is welcomed by all members this is something that russia's and went

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 implemented the previous u.n. resolution aiming at protecting civilians the country found itself in a full scale civil war with civilians suffering note 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 see the support of our members take a listen. in libya which i'm in the situation into political diplomatically in supporting the transfer considers lifting the new fly zone over libya particularly as this no fly zone is being violated arbitrary being induced a new reality on the ground and intervening the new flows will no longer make 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 the 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 new way in seat to the national transitional council which toppled moment gadhafi although not yet controlling the whole of libya the rebels nevertheless represent their. country at the u.n. general assembly next week as for the arms embargo imposed on libya there are 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 their playmates 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 n.b.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 that are up for grabs this extremely worrying because russia's army left behind are brimming with the actions 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. go to can report from washington d.c. will libya's former rebels have been given instant official status so how do the palestinians who are struggling for retribution feel of a verb. the sense of sorrow and loss it's not

just based on anger it. was a comment later in the program speak of palestinian politician. you think people deserve fair treatment the international community folks back in on libya now though again and no fly zone over the country remains in force as nato and former rebels back to new leaderships push into the few remaining gadhafi young claves alliances strikes 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 go on quite quietly today's. reports on that side of the story. 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. born with. a billion. 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. the supporters clearly there are real problems on the ground there's a legacy of such a conflict that you will have human rights abuses on both sides of the rebels transitional council have promised to hold their own 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 and edges the 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 that gadhafi forces committed some terrible atrocities but also documents of brutal settling of scores by rebel forces including the lynchings of gadhafi soldiers meanwhile could taffy's hometown is one of the last holdouts a letter purportedly from a colonel himself begs the u.n. security council to protect certain. 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 that 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 sponsored un resolution to ease thanks in to against libya and against the national oil corporation in particular getting the oil flowing again your emmett's r.t. london. and elsewhere of the intentions on serbia's border with kosovo intensify following friday's takeover of two disputed border posts police with the assistance of nato led forces have placed customs officers checkpoints previously under ethnic serb control locus of credit revenge what they call the unilateral action of course of those are bony and first reports that from day one of those cease checkpoints. where one of the border crossings you're ready and afraid leading up to it remained bloke's by the ethnics a protest is now we actually can't get the much closer when you go up to the front of that cross thing you're stuck by the bulk load we can feast on a thick a full forces on the ground that we saw helicopters coming across and the you like

helicopters dropping off some of the police forces to these crossings also the albanian calls the police they've only actually got to. 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 a few control and that's what much of this to speak that's still now amid concerns of repeat of what we saw in july when violent clashes over the course think of an 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 i think servants turning out at these barricades but what we've got at the moment is a standoff situation is being called a worse knows because of the checkpoints of the barricades is the serbian protesters and then the case full force is at the actual crossings themselves at the no one wants to make me take a full force if they want to make me have to break up the barricades the theory

sparking violence and to set in protest for exactly the same reasons they they would be preventing violence so we had the u.n. 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 these statements and to 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. officer first reporting the call go with top negotiator and mediated talks on costa cruise also at those points first loves to find a french is now calling on both sides resume discussions and shared his views on a possible solution to the problem. two full normalization of our relationship with krishna and of course that normalization. doesn't mean by any way our recognition of independence of course so we believe that the only way i would use to

a dialogue actually to an agreement how these two crossings to gates would look like because right now with krishna did was a one sided attempt to change the reality on the ground which is against all the agreements before ulick's assisted them in this attempt and they breached their own mandate they breached their status neutral position toward kosovo and serbia and we are really dissatisfied with the small and it's against security council resolution for all forty four it's against the mandates of us it's again six points point by the bank you move which was supported by the security council and the states the those two gates should be different and yahoos and then they should have only international custom presence once you put across them officers then you will put a flag then you will put the court of arms then you will put in a so-called kosovo laws and then people who live here will be circled by something that looks like a state they simply cannot accept so there has to be

a different solution for the specific situation. you're watching out for moscow still politico ahead including. a very basic question. what's poverty. wow 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 this it was sell newspapers you wouldn't have a job that is that would have been a resident of microbes are back on her we hit the streets of new york to find out what people there. think and how they're coping with the page of rising poverty right now that's to come little bit later also. check out the world's most the most money there it is tourists of. surprising relic of the soviet stone quite say. look back. one thousand miles from the north pole of.

this is a scene from moscow going to be with us in a passionate address palestinian president mahmoud abbas is vowed to seek full state recognition of the u.n. security council next week and that's it despite of eight u.s. promise to veto any such move it also deals a blow for israel to which may now have to give up the territories occupied for decades some said it was accuse the israeli government indeed of using them as pawns in a land dispute. with until. b.b.

was wanted to meet us here in one of israel's busting cities he wants to talk but not in his own city home and where he's seen as a troublemaker they are afraid. because of. the for me or for my view of pinney 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 the west bank settlement and 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. bank of the. agreement with the who have to show that it's full of people and the people of gaza want to live he says one in two states has pointed out that the government does everything it can to

keep him in most of the land there and difficult. that has. won it in a few months no constructs and has a ban on more than two thousand projects here in the west bank most apologies 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 history 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 assessments the goddess of what it does to his economy alter the peace process there is no political good. in israel about whether it's right or wrong doing it.

we know about many certain moments 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 and with him in the way the prospects of peace seem as unlikely as binney was actually leaving the west bank policy r.t. . palestinian politician who says palestine deserves recognition more than some other nations the game that is with these. sense of sorrow and loss not frustration and 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. state gets get an understanding from the international press and we're constantly preventing from getting these things by

the israeli occupation of an american administration to see. other threats of justice i think it's about time that palestine. of nations as an equal and it's no longer. a subhuman species. it's. to look at some of the new eurozone finance ministers have delayed until october the decision or another handout of rescue cash for greece they don't think the country's doing enough to cut its massive debt should receive the eight billion euros the september and says it will run out of money next month and was able to pay the interest on its considerable debt the last few months have been plagued by a decision among the leaders about how to deal with recent 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 of course is more a half of us. as

the global economy continues to struggle poverty levels continue to rise are you feeling that 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. you know that work so basically i'm just living a day by day this is the wrong place to talk about because here everything is so expensive so. it's weird but it's real we have a lot of people but it's ok. you feel like it's getting worse there is getting worse actually we're like big minutes first three thousand manifesting because it's too expensive living in israel that's what's below poverty is on the rise you don't believe it was poverty. well not being able to get the basics then 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 know. so why would people many back you're such baloney so you wouldn't have a job it is that have you got the impact that our. yes because i work with. the organization that takes care of women and we're seeing lots more women. you know what do you think would happen if a middle class disappeared. well that's ever going to happen i think things are going to get more expensive and there's not to 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. the resident next week on our t.v. complete change of turk now though if you curious as to how it ever felt like to

live in the usa there is one place where the soviet spirit is frozen in time it's not even in russia talking about the town of baron period in the arctic circle which lies on a norwegian archipelago called spitsbergen it's a vibrant settlement at the time and it grew there after mining rights for granted in the one nine hundred twenty s. but of course from communism collapsed so did the community so in a third of her special reports for example finds out how an old soviet dream still provides a means of survival to this day and it's also helping. the legacy no one should be proud of heaps of scrap metal littering pristine arctic landscape building stilton over their foundation pipes spinning black smoke over the snow covered peaks the traces of the soviet industrial activity on the bergen archipelago don't make a treaty picture if the guiding principle here is the worse the better what was life to tell the story back in soviet times when norwegian for visiting barons were

they don't want to. be at how this stuff was well. obviously a kid when the soviet legacy they were trapped in a region tourist to bear and word and. watch. that's why when. our goal is common as was the coverage here a few days ago and throwing it away the local administration decided to intervene you and i barons work central where communism had long stopped being a large term 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 to retype of a bygone era we have some problems with. the use of tourists.

but now we have new roof. on the. work. from. back in the nineteen eighties there was a burgeoning mining community there the soviet union was determined to maintain at all cost. half way between north america and western europe the spitzbergen archipelago is part of normal weight with a special status that allows other countries to set up industrial bases here in the mid. love the cold war it served as they used the stars westernmost outpost now it's one of the soviet union's last preserved relics. it is essentially a picture of what would have happened to the soviet union if it was really funny which will support for two decades it's a curious sign for western tourists and i think it could be even more appealing for russia struggles 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 between mary bill it is a big hit the defunct are in curtain still helps keep the money flowing guys it's the russians in your show but you can't play rumbles on the ground you know the local administration is increasingly under pressure to bring the infrastructure optimal in standards these mature news station efforts are not very popular victories tell piri there's if you come into a very authentic place like bronze or think it should stay the way it is that would be my wish i mean that's the part of the let you know authentic tradition here. i should not i would not like to have it in a shiny condition to be on the back to change even for the better is not always good for business something that even our local down has become attuned to what we try to add more than russian songs today repertoire it left the audience called the

wanted to hear it was a song the familiar. sound like you are seeing there in order to bring out the caliber. well that wraps up our special coverage from spitzbergen you still find this in other reports we had on the northernmost outpost of the south you know out. in fine but the story going to clicks a soft landing a warm welcome home for a team of space travelers return to earth after six months into the international. a station account was a verb to catch the moment they came back to earth but so my story a very unfortunate story of something else going by the new earth to make them also mine get a lot of hits tonight lot of interest from you the air show tragedy in the us is a seventy four year old son pilot crashed his vintage plane the spectators a really bad news that one it's r t v dot com.
