this is art see an autopsy for us tonight 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 gadhafi stronghold. meanwhile as palestine prepared its bid 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 kosovo with a standoff a disputed checkpoints following the seizure by kosovo police despite warnings of pending violence.

hello this is r.t. from moscow it's just tough for one i am here now my name is kevin i would it's very good every company tonight 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 the death is regime provision was also made for financial assistance from the un for rebuilding the country he's got if 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 diplomats insist 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 the elections and write a new constitution and that kind of u.n.

presence a patient is welcomed by all members this is something that washes 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 previous u.n. resolution aiming at protecting civilians the country found itself in a full scale civil war with civilians suffering involved 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 our members take a listen. in libya very charming 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 arbitrary. and used a new reality on the ground and ensuring the new flows no longer make sense it's literally 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 planes of 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 you went to the national transitional council which toppled moment although not yet controlling the whole of libya the rebels nevertheless represent their. entry at the u.n. general assembly next week as for 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. personnel diplomats and humanitarian staff but the essence of the french british proposal with regards to lifting the arms embargo is get 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 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 year that are up for grabs is extremely worrying army left behind are brimming with weapons and the rebels have help themselves those weapons need 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. probably thought go if you can a washington d.c. correspondent so when his former rebels would be given instant official story so what do the palestinians who are struggling for recognition feel about that this is

where. the sense of sorrow and loss of not just a certain amount of this wall has come later in the program the speed politician who you saw there who think so people who's of treatment from the international community should have a lot more to say. the folks back in libya now the no fly zone over the country remains and forces nato and the rebels back to the new leadership's push into the few remaining good for your close alliance astroids reportedly hit residential buildings in the town of sirte but the countries that were quick to condemn attacks were the colonel's troops but it march now seems to gone silent are still rumors called the story. david cameron and nicolas sarkozy surveyed their handiwork the most senior leaders to visit tripoli since their country's began the nato intervention in libya they say their work is not yet. born with. the brilliance. 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 lead 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 be supporters clearly there are real problems on the ground as a legacy of such a conflict will have human rights abuses on both sides rebels 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 they could be 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 they could afterthoughts is committed some terrible atrocities but also documents a brutal stack of scores by rebel forces including the lynchings of the soldiers meanwhile peter fees 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 gadhafi killing innocent libyans in the lead up to nato is no fly

zone being imposed but no such rhetorics being aimed at the empty 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 laura and it's r t london. in other news tonight ethnic tensions on serbia's border with breakaway costs of intensified following friday's takeover of two disputed border posts because of an police from the assistance of nato led forces have placed customs officers at checkpoints previously under arrest nick said control locals have tried to prevent what they call the unilateral action of kosovo's albanians r.t. sara furthur poured from near one of those cease checkpoints. well we're at one of the border crossings that you're reading and the rates leading up to it remained close by the protest is now we actually can't get the much closer when you go up to the front of that cross thank you scott but if we can feast on the take

a full forces on the ground there we saw helicopters coming across and i saw that you like helicopters dropping off some of the police forces to these crossings also the albanian cos the police they've only actually got to. each of the checkpoints at the moment and that only that the time being in an observatory role now of course the plan is for them to eventually take a 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 but we seen as a huge number of serbia and i think serbians turning out at these barricades what we've got at the moment is a standoff situation it's been called a war of nerves because of both the checkpoints and the barricades is the serbian protesters and then take

a full force is 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 that there's nothing violence and to set in protest is for exactly the same reasons they they want. 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 for not there were a lot of countries that were unwilling really to make a statement 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. correspond mostly mr a first and she caught up as well with serbia's top negotiator and the mediator talks on costa cruise also about this point crosspost in front of it she is now calling on both sides to resume discussions and he shared his views about a possible solution to the problem. roads to 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 out is through a dialogue actually to an agreement called these two crossings to gates will look like because right now what krishna did was a one sided attempt to change the reality on the ground which is against all the agreements before is ulick's assisted them in this attempt and they breached their own mandate they breached their stated position toward the costs of war in serbia and we are really dissatisfied we do single and it's against security council resolution for forty four it's against the mandate of ulick's it's again six points point by the bank you move which was supported by the security council and the land states and the those two gates should be different in the others and they should have only international custom presence once you put their custom officers then you will put a flag then you will put a coat of arms then you will push for so-called crossover 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. i view this hour on out see some ounces to some down to her and says get this right way round to some very basic questions about find out. what's poverty. while not be 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 sell newspapers you wouldn't have a job if this didn't happen well we have the streets of new york find out how much people are footing the pinch of rising poverty right now. on. the world's northernmost monument to lenin there is tourists are flocking to a surprising relic of the soviet past as we were villages to few minutes.

decades back in time one thousand miles from the north pole. the iraqi team is taking you on a trip to spitzbergen on a good time ago. where twenty years after the us a sars collapsed the subregion way of life is still going strong. for the world's northernmost statue of lenin presides over a ghost town where the stood at his age has become a tourist site for those overcome by the cold war in the style of. the close up special edition. her mum. mum. mum.

lists. the mum mum pick him up. her. mum. for. me soon

which price and. about sums from funds to the passion is. the most sleaze from stunts on t.v. i don't come. down to the official ulti allocation. i pod touch for me i'll choose shops to. watch all she life on the go see a london mum. smiling old costs an r.s.s. feeds now an apology. on the katine job com. in a passionate address palestinian president mahmoud abbas has vowed to sink full state recognition of the un security council next week but in spite of a u.s. promise to veto any such bid those deals blow caused to israel which may now have

to give up the territories it occupied for decades some settlers and accuse the israeli government of using them as pawns in a land dispute that is poor slip picks up the story. pretty rose wanted to meet us here in one of israel's bustling cities he wants to talk but not in his own system and where he's seen as a troublemaker they are afraid. because. the former 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 it home and now years on he wants to leave the can't because he's property has hard in value since he bought it so. from a certain no or because the government doesn't want the people. there were bones of

the. agreement with the you have to show that it's full of people doesn't want to live he says one in two states there's one out but the government does everything it can to keep him in most of the land here it's there and difficult but that hasn't stopped people from building on it in two months no constitution has a ban on more than two thousand projects here in the west bank 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 history suggests prime minister netanyahu spends nearly a billion dollars a year just to keep decisions going the past 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 the statements regardless of what it does to his economy alter the peace process there is no political gambit. in his rod of whether it's right or wrong they're just doing it. we know about many certain moments and the eastern part of france where you have a lot of arguments which are. as palestinians head off to the united nations is really only digs in around decisional minutes and with women the way the prospects of peace seem as unlikely as the rise actually leaving the west bank police here r.t. . politician who told the palestine deserves recognition more than some other nations with the sense of sorrow and loss of life station and anger that others instantly get recognition instantly those who want revenge as prepared as we are and who have been to the poor 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 clearly pays to see the benefits of 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 rights. eurozone finance ministers have delayed until october the decision on another handout of rescue cash for greece i don't think of the countries doing enough to cut its massive debt shuttled receive when you're alone at the end of september athens has it set to grow money next ones won't be able to trust on its considerable debt the last few months have been plagued by indecision and money you 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 as a half was 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 out a man back 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 but how is that 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 like big 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 you don't believe it was part of the. 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 by not so why would people many factual states maloney sell newspapers you wouldn't have a job if this didn't happen have you got the fact that our. yes because i work with the law for profit organization that take. women there we're seeing lots more women . what do you think would happen if i'm middle class just. 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. whether or not you personally feel the effects of the writing poverty level the bottom line is it seems like this trend isn't going to reverse any

attempts to. complete change attack now very been curious as to what it was like to live in the days of the u.s.s.r. was one place where the soviet spirit is frozen in time and it's not even in russia it's the turn of barons bergen the arctic circle which lies in a norwegian archipelago called spitsbergen a vibrant soviet settlement grew up there after mining rights for granted back in the one nine hundred twenty s. because when communism collapsed so did the community now in the third of a special report is compiled for your exam a boy who finds out how an old soviet dream still to this day provides a means of survival and is also helping preserve the past. the legacy no one should be proud of heaps of scrap metal littering pristine arctic landscape buildings 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 to

tell ago john made a pretty picture if the guiding principle here is the worse the better locals like to call the story back in soviet times when the regions were visiting barons were they don't want to. be and how prosperous this was well the crimes obviously i can't read the slow progress they are attracting a region tourists are barely worth and without much needed cash that's why when. our goal is common it was uncovered here a few days ago and growing in the way the local administration decided to pay the bill you and i barons work stands for where 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 to retire of a bygone era we have some problems with. you so tourists mubarak this thing goes but now we have you removed. from. that in the nine hundred eighty s. there was a burgeoning mining community there the soviet union was determined to maintain it a low cost to teach it to locate it halfway between north america and western europe spitzbergen archipelago is part of normal rate but the special status that allows other countries to sign up industrial bases here in the mid. well of the cold war it served as the use of stars westernmost outpost now it's one of the soviet union slask preserved relics. it is essentially a picture of what would have suited your unit it was cut off from legal support for two decades it's

a curious site for western tourists and i think it could be even more appealing for russia. to keep its presence on the streets bergen russia is still maintaining a coal mine here but and chance of profit it's far behind local supernews shops beat me marriage is a big hit the defunct barn curtain still helps keep the money flowing guys it's the russians who in your words you can't ruggles are on the ground also you know the local administration is increasingly under pressure to bring the infrastructure up to modern standards these modernization efforts are not very popular with tourists operators if you're coming from a very authentic place like non-sport or think it 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 thing to change even for the better is not

always good for business something that even a local band can become attuned to let me try to add more than russian songs to die repertoire because of the audience called they wanted to hear it was a song perfectly familiar. sound like you are seeing them in sport it's turning out the caliber. graces reports rigs are there how you enjoyed them that wraps up our special coverage from spitzbergen britain still find out more about the all the most outpost on the soviet union our website r t v dot com news stories there tonight for you the soft landing a warm welcome for this team of space travelers the return back to. for six months of the international space station our cameras were there to capture the moment they came back to earth safely not a safe landing on our next story though tragedy here a big tragedy a seventy four year old stunt pilot crashed his vintage plane into spectators or for seeing four pictures online tonight tsotsi bill cuomo four stories therefore
