tory 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 year and gadhafi is regime provision was also made for financial assistance from the u.n. for rebuilding the country he's going to teach you can has got the details for you . 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 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 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 and going 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 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 called forward by russia and a provision that received the support of members take a listen. to in libya by chumming the situation into political diplomatically and it's important the council considers lifting the new fly zone over libya particularly as this no fly zone is being violated arbitrarily now 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 libya and make sure panes 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 us 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 libya that are up for grabs is extremely worrying more production is army left behind armor 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. warren prosper scottish account there in washington d.c. for us our correspondent there ground there will libya's former rebels than have been given instant official status so the palestinians who are struggling for recognition for so long no feel about their. sense of sorrow and last night's rest and the anger of a bit later in the program we've got more from oh we speak to palestinian politician one man i should think said people deserve a fair treatment from the international community. focusing back in on libya the no

fly zone over the country remains in force as nato and former rebels back the new leadership push into the few remaining gadhafi on plagues 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 have gone pretty silent artie's lorimer picks up 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 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 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 there's a legacy of such a conflict you will have human rights abuses taking on both sides rebels the national 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 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 that gadhafi forces committed some

terrible atrocities but also documents a 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 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 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 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 and other top stories tonight from tensions on serbia's border with breakaway kosovo intensify following friday's takeover of two disputed border posts from police with the assistance of nato led forces have placed customs officers no checkpoints previously under-estimate control locals have tried to prevent what they call the unilateral action of kosovo's or bone eons of further reports from near one of those cities checkpoints. well we're at one of the border crossings you renny and the roads leading up to it remain bloke's by the protesters now we actually can't get too much play so 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. full 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 a very needy 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 a the control and that's what much of this dispute bestseller now amid concerns 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 is actually being relatively quiet here today what we've seen is a huge number of the serbian ethnic servants turning out at these barricades but what we've got at the moment is a 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 at the 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 set in protest is for exactly the same reasons they won't 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 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 course one of the scene a sort of first and sort of caught up with serbia's top negotiator in the e.u. mediated talks on kosovo who's also at the disputed points with morris loves to front a fish is now calling on both sides to resume discussions of the should his views about a possible solution to the problem. to full normalization off 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 out is through a dialogue actually to an agreement how these two crossings to gates will look like because right now what cristina did was a one sided attempt to change the reality on the ground which is against all the

agreements before. today in this attempt and they breached their own mandate they breached their status neutral position toward kosovo and serbia and we are really satisfied with the small and it's against security council resolution twelve forty four it's against the mandate if you like seats again six points point by. which was supported by the security council and the states it did to those two gates should be different and yachters indeed they should have only international custom presence once you put across them officers then you will put a flag then you will political. then you will push the so-called kosovo laws and then people who live here will be circled by something that looks like state they simply cannot accept so there has to be a different solution for dismissive. so i had this was some done to us question

and a passionate address palestinian president mahmoud abbas has vowed to seek full state recognition at the u.n. security council next week in spite of a u.s. promise to veto any such bid but also there was a blow to israel which may now have to give up the territories it's occupied for decades from settlers now accused the israeli government of using them as pawns in a land dispute paula sleep has got 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 city home and where he's seen as a troublemaker they are afraid to talk because they're 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 spanx a home and now years on he wants to leave but can't because his property has hovered in value since he bought it for. going to help. form the saying no or because the government doesn't want the people. the west bank after the. agreement was there for the syrians who have to show that it's full of people in the people who doesn't want to live in peace is one in two states has pointed 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 construct and has begun on more than two thousand projects here in the west bank melissa 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 just a myth suggests 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 maps the answers bought them onto the streets in numbers never seen before in israel's history but netanyahu has no plans to leave the statements the goddess of what it does to his economy alter the peace process there is no political debate. in israel about whether it's right or wrong doing it. we know about many certain lands and the eastern part of the fence where you have a lot of partment which are empty as palestinians head off to the united nations

the israeli army digs in around the city moments and with them in the way the prospects of peace seem as unlikely as binney was actually leaving the west bank policy r.t. . we heard from a bit earlier on palestinian politician who says that palestine deserves recognition more than some other nations again there's where these. sense of sorrow and loss not station an anger that others instantly get recognition instantly those who want 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 to see. justice i think it's about time that palestine joins the community of nations as an equal and is no longer treated as

a subhuman species right. eurozone finance ministers have delayed until october the decision or another hand of rescue cash for greece they don't think of the countries doing enough right now to cut its massive debt greece was to show jeweled receive the eight billion euro loan at the end of september after the service will run out of money next month and pay the interest on his considerable day the last few months have been plagued by a decision of money leaders about how best to deal with greece's debt which is now one of the half times the size of its economy of course is not alone the global financial squeeze is being felt everywhere lawry half a nurse found that 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 me 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 you know basically i'm just living it day by day this is the wrong place to talk about because everything is so expensive so. it's weird but how is that in israel we have a lot of people right. 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 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. you wouldn't have a job if this didn't happen 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 and you know what do you think would happen if the 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. complete change of tactics for you if you have a curious what it was like to live in the u.s.s.r. in times gone by there is still one place where the soviet spirit frozen in time is not even in russia it's in the town of baron spoke in the arctic circle which lies on a wage an archipelago called spitsbergen and is on the map a vibrant soviet settlement grew up there after mining rights for granted back in

the one nine hundred twenty s. but of course when colin is in collapse so did the community now in the third of a special reports for us xander boyd finds out how an old soviet dream still provides to this day 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 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 local like to tell the story about back in soviet times when norwegians were visiting barons were they also an express lane. and how prosperous the settlement was well times have obviously a challenge when they saw it lags say it's still attracting the region tourists are barons work i would then cause much native cash that's why when. 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 barron's 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. this thing goes but now we have a new roof. line of. work. from. that in the nine hundred eighty s. daryn's work was a burgeoning mining community of the soviet union was determined to maintain at all

costs. are located halfway between north america and western europe bergen archipelago is part of norway with a special status that allows other countries to set up industrial bases here in the . well of the cold war it served as the us is ours westernmost outpost now it's one of the soviet union slask preserved relics. and is essentially a picture of what would have happened to the soviet union if it was really financial support for two decades it's a curious site for western tourists and i think it could be even more appealing for russians trying. to keep its presence on spitsbergen russia still maintaining a coal mine here but in terms of profit it's far behind local supernews shops so between méribel it is a big hit the defunct arne curtain still helps keep the money flowing guys it's a russian so you're sure you can't. grow on the.

euros the local administration is increasingly under pressure to bring the infrastructure up to more than standards these modernization efforts and 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 the 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 the repertoire it left the audience called all they wanted to hear it was a song come from their. time with them or see you there in court right now because. well we've enjoyed the
