nations which officially recognize the former rebels in a new resolution easing the sanctions imposed during gadhafi regime provision was also made for financial assistance from the un for rebuilding the country r.t. is going to future 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 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 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 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 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 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 you went 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

hardly left behind are dreaming 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 of nuclear materials that libya possibly has to. frightening thought that go if you can a washington d.c. correspondent so then libya's former rebels have been given instant official status so whatever the palestinians are struggling for recognition feel about that this is certainly a. sense of sorrow and loss it's not just station anger and there's more to come later in the program to speak to palestinian politician him and i show you saw there who think so people deserve fair treatment from the international community she's got

a lot more to say. but focusing back in on libya now the no fly zone over the country remains of forces nato and former rebels back the new leadership push into the few remaining gadhafi young claves alliance airstrikes 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 now seem to have gone silent article rumors got 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 daffy's supporters clearly there are real problems on the ground there's a legacy of such a conflict you will have human rights abuses taking both sides rebels the national transitional council have promised to hold their own fighters to account and i think that that is a process that we will see from now it doesn't seem to be happening yet the african union and the 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 that is the rebels are guilty of unlawful killing and torture it takes pains to point out the 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 gadhafi the killing innocent libyans in the lead up to nato as no fly zone being imposed but no such rhetorics being aimed at the empty sea in fact it's quite the opposite britain's sponsored un resolution to ease sanctions against libya indicates the national oil corporation in particular getting the oil flowing

again your emmett's r.t. london. in other news tonight ethnic tensions on serbia's border with breakaway kosovo intensify following friday's takeover of two disputed border posts cause of and police with the assistance of nato led forces have placed customs officers at checkpoints previously under ethnic serb control locals have tried to prevent what they call the unilateral action of kosovo's albanians r.t. sarah ferguson poured from near one of those cease 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 place and 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 force is 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 cos the police they've only 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 vacant shoulder and that's what much of this dispute vessel and now amid concerns repeat of what we saw in july when violent clashes over the course think of a making of me to try and take this place resulted in the death of a policeman is actually being relatively quiet here what we've seen is a huge number of the serbian i think serbians 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 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 don't want to be provoking 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. sarah first and she called a press war with serbia's top negotiator and the mediator talks on cost of who's also a disputed point but still 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. wrote to full normalization of our relationship with christina 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 christina did was a one sided attempt to change the reality on the ground which is against all the

agreements before. 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 to use again six points point by the bank you move which was supported by security council states to those two gates should be different and yachters and they should have only international custom presence once you put a custom officers then you will put a flag then you will put a coat of arms then you will put 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 this specific situation. ahead this hour on our man says.

some down to get this right way round to some very basic questions about finding. what's poverty. wow 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 so newspapers you wouldn't have a job if this didn't happen but we have the streets of new york find out how people are feeling the pinch of rising poverty right now. the world's northernmost monument to lenin there is tourists are flocking to a surprising. the soviet past as we were a village just a few minutes. decades back in time one thousand miles from the north pole. the iraqi team is taking on a trip to spitzbergen archipelago. where twenty years after the u.s.s.r. collapsed the soviet way of life is still going strong. in the world some

pod touch from the. sludge all sheesh life on the city of london. i'll tease mine old costs an r.s.s. feeds now in the palm of your. on the dot 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 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 that is poor sleep picks up their story. 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 of the talk there for. the for me for my drove but beneath it 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 west bank settlement now years on he wants to leave but can't because his property has harvard in value since he bought it for. going to help. form the same no or because the government doesn't want the people. the west bank after the ones who have agreement with the 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 but 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 people from building on it in the long two months no construct and has begun on more than two thousand projects here in the west bank and 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 settlements 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 the statements 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 arguments which are empty as palestinians head off to the united nations the israeli army digs in around the city home and 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 as to the politician who told the palestine deserves recognition more than some other nations the gate there is with the. 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 here we are constantly preventing from getting these things by the israeli occupation by an american administration that really

pays to see the imperatives 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 that have no rights. eurozone finance ministers have delayed until october the decision on another hand out of rescue cash for greece they don't think of the countries doing enough to cut its massive debt. jeweled receive the eight billion euro loan at the end of september from says it's set to run out of money next month and won't be able to pay the interest on his considerable debt the last few months have been plagued by indecision of 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 the 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 to manhandle 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 poverty because here everything is so expensive so. it's weird but how is it 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 we had a. big manifests three hundred thousand people manifesting because it's too expensive they're living in israel that's baloney what's baloney property is on the rise you don't 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. 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 law for profit organization that takes. women but 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 the rising poverty level the bottom line is it seems like this trend isn't going to reverse anytime soon. complete change of tack now you have 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 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 salvi of 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 she's 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 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 worst the better locals like to tell the story about back in soviet times when norwegians were visiting barons were they also an express lane. and how prosperous this was

well times have obviously a change when they saw it blags they still attracting new region tourists or barons work i would then commerce much needed 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 a 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. tourists. this. goes but now we have a new roof. on. the work.

from. back in the nine hundred eighty s. daryn's work was a burgeoning mining community that the soviet union was determined to maintain at all costs. are located halfway between north america and western europe the bergen archipelago is part of norway with a special status that allows other countries to set up industrial bases here in the . all of the cold war it served as the us is sars western most outpost now it's one of the soviet union slask out tentatively 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 trans of profit is far behind local souvenir shops so between married bill it is

a big hit the defunct barn curtain still helps keep the money flowing guys it's the russians when you're sure what's your opinion but in rubbles or on the ground your 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 non-sport i 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 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 comfortably familiar.
