we're living in the most click on the planet regency they are going. to. kill off the loyalists and continue to put up strong resistance and the crane with nato have killed hundreds of civilians in recent filming raids this comes as libya's former rebels are granted a seat at the un where talks move to a post-war reconstruction. saying with the un palestine is preparing its bid to become a full member despite washington promising to veto through the security council because as some israeli settlers on the west bank say they're ready to go but claim that they are forced to stay against their will. and in kosovo a standoff continues between police and the local ethnic serbs angry that pristina

has taken control of two border posts blocking sodium in for. three o'clock in the morning here in moscow glad to have you with us this is r.t. on to our top story now in libya and i could off the forces have resumed the besieged town of bani walid just a day after there you were repelled by loyalists to troops fighting has also flared in the ousted leader's home city of syria meanwhile a coffee spokesman accused nato of backing the rebels and providing them with any addition brahimi said at least three hundred fifty civilians have been killed and seven hundred injured in the overnight shelling of syria with the own lions denying the existence this comes amid the recent visits of e.u. leaders to the war stricken country vowing assistance in protecting. population but

as more and more reports more car brass have a different agenda. 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. on with the nato mission and kill civilians. 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 or not 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's good duckie supporters clearly there are real

problems on the ground it's 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 fighters to account and i think that is a process that we will see from our it doesn't seem to be happening yet the african union and edges the transitional forces to 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 the forces committed some terrible atrocities but also documents of brutal struggling of scores by rebel forces including the lynchings of the soldiers meanwhile catastrophes hometown is one of the last holdouts ill. ported lee from the colonel himself begs the u.n.

security council to protect search from being pounded by nato and to tackle what it describes is crimes by the forces of the new government civilian deaths are seemingly. 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.c.c. in fact it's quite the opposite person sponsored un resolution to ease sanctions against libya and to gates the national oil corporation in particular getting the oil flowing again your emmet london. with libya's national transitional council now granted a seat at the united nations are. reports on the first steps to rebuilding the country. 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 their comments 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 recalls alleviation and generally help the government to levy organize the elections and write a new constitution and that kind of if you aren't participating is welcomed by all members this is something that watches and wants of 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 will put an end to the chaos there as a result of the failure to properly implemented which really is my resolution aiming at protecting civilians the country found itself in a full scale civil war with civilians suffering is also the resolution expresses the security council's determination to lift the no fly zone over the legal

airspace in the very near future well that's a provision clear forward by russia and a provision that would suit the support of members take a listen. in libya channeling the situation into political diplomatically and it's important to cancel considers listing a new fly zone over libya particularly as this new fly zone is being violated arbitrarily and used a new reality on the ground and intervening 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. the resolution would also ease economic sanctions imposed on libya and make sure cans 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 general assembly on friday gave believe is when siege to the national transitional council which toppled commented on the although not yet holding 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 or 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 u.n. person 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 the 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 it's really worrying. the left behind are only 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 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. what has it been a speedy acceptance for libya's former rebels has been a long journey for others stay with us to find out how people in palestine feel about the un's recognition of libya's national transitional council. to send up assad loans from the states in anger. later in the program we speak to a palestinian politician who thinks that her people should get fair treatment from the international community. ethnic tension on a server border with a breakaway kosovo intensifies following friday's takeover of two disputed border posts kosovo police and with the assistance of nato led forces have placed customs officers out checkpoints previously under ethnic serb control locals have tried to

prevent what they called the unilateral actions of kosovo's albanians artie's sarah ferguson reports from near none of the scenes to try points. where one of the border crossings you're ready and the road 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 stuck by the ballboy we can see some of the capel forces on the ground that we saw helicopters coming across and. you like helicopters dropping off some of the police forces to these crossings also the albanian cause the police they've only actually got to. the checkpoint 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. now amid concerns repeat of what we

saw in july when violent clashes over the course because the making of me to try and take this place resulted in the death of the policemen is actually relatively quiet here what we've seen is a huge number of serbia and i think serbia is turning out at these barricades what we've got at the moment it's a standoff situation is being called a war with knows it is the fate the checkpoints at the barricades is the serbian protesters and then the cable forces at the actual crossing themselves as the no one wants to make me take a full force if they want to take me to break up the barricades the fears about your violence and the serbian phrase that's the for exactly the same reasons they don't want it he's like everybody was 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 for not there were a lot of countries that were unwilling really to make a statement to take a group of these control points going ahead despite the warnings from belgrade i'm from russia that this could really lead to further agitation. for jesus or

a first very now while covering the story she was also able to catch up with serbia as top negotiator in the e.u. mediated talks on kosovo who's also been at the disputed points. the foundation is now calling on both sides to resume discussions and has shared his views on a possible solution to the problem. i wrote 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 out is through a dialogue actually through 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 is ulick's assisted in this attempt and they breached their own mandate they breached their status neutral position toward kosovo and serbia and we

are really be satisfied with the smooth and it's against security council resolution for all forty four it's against the mandate of ulick's it's again six points going by the bank you move which was supported by security council and that land states that those two gates should be different than the others and that they should have only international custom presence and once you put the custom officers then you will put a flag then you will put a coat of arms then you will put a circle cross a 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. there's a lot more to come this hour including down to earth answers to a very basic question. was. not be able to get the basics then light ok if it's like that says creation is it worth the bet

it's probably about the same as it always was and still is because you wouldn't have a job because if. we hit the streets of new york to find out how much its people are feeling the pinch of rising poverty. check out the world's northernmost monument to women tourists are flocking to a surprising relic of the soviet past. decades back in. one thousand miles from the north pole. the team is taking on a trip to spitzbergen onto time ago. where twenty years after the u.s.s.r. collapsed. life is still going strong. for the world's. presides over a goes. to suit. has become a tourist site for those overcome by the cold war in the style of.

a cheap one the only catch it was in a whisper and sit home and now years on he wants to leave but can't because his property has hard in value since he bought it for. help. from no one because the government doesn't want people. there was buying golf than the ones you have agreement with the two we have to show that it's for all of the poor in the world doesn't want to live pieces 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. but that has. no construct and has begun on more than two thousand projects here in the west bank and worse 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 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 signal is going but that has to come from somewhere and tens of thousands of israelis diplomats the answer is gotten onto the streets in numbers never seen before in israel's history but netanyahu has no plans to leave a settlement regardless of what it does to his economy alter the peace process there is no out. political debate in israel about whether it's right or wrong i'm just doing it and we know about many certain events 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 is really only digs in around the station and with women the way the prospects of peace seem as likely as many was actually leaving the west bank policy r.t. . palestinian politician ashrawi says palestine deserves

recognition after years of being under israeli occupation so a sense of sorrow and loss not just based on an anger that others instantly get recognition instantly those who want to learn as prepared as we are and who have been for sixty three years under brutal military occupation to get recognition let's take let's get some work get an understanding from the international community and we're constantly preventing from getting these things by the israeli occupation by an american administration that clearly pace to see the benefits of justice i think it's about time that palestine blinds the community of nations as an equal and is no longer a. subhuman species right. euro zone of finance ministers have decided to wait until october before deciding on whether to issue

another trash be allowed for greece and an informal meeting in poland they say athens is not doing enough to cut its massive debt greece it was scheduled to receive the eight billion euro loan at the end of september a demonstration time to coincide with the talks saw tens of thousands of trade union activists from across europe take to the streets they are angry on what they see as no wages and spread of the gun that sees the last few months have been plagued by indecision among youth leaders on how to deal with greece's debt which is well done and a half times the size of its economy but it's not alone the global financial squeeze is being felt everywhere as more harshness found out in the uk. as the global economy continues to struggle poverty levels continue to rise are you feeling that this week let's talk about that's me well let me see i moved out of manhattan back to my house in central jersey which was i abandoned two years ago.

been 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 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 where like big manifests three thousand people manifesting because it's too expensive to live in israel. what's below poverty is on the rise you don't believe it is what's poverty. well not be able to get the basics in life ok it's it's 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 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 a not for profit organization that takes care of women and we're seeing lots more women who don't have insurance you know what do you think would happen if a middle class disappeared. but i think that'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 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. and coming up later this hour max and stacy take a short detour and look at how large reflects life even in the financial world. alex schaffer mentioned in his own interview that it's not about people burning down the banks but the banks burning the infrastructure of our banking system of burning our money and destroying our money and also the other thing he points out

he alludes to the fact that because the police visited alec schaefer this is proof . he's anti-capitalist and keep on pointing out that the police visited alex shaffer to discuss this art that was so disturbing and it reminded me of a story that pablo picasso told about his famous artwork guernica guernica being of course the town in boss country spain which was carpet bombed by the italians and germans at the behest of the fascists in spain a few years later he's in paris and he's visited by the nazi occupying officers and pointing to a poster of guernica the nazi officer said did you do that pablo picasso responded no you did it. if you are curious as to how it felt to live in the u.s.s.r. there is one place where the soviet spirit is frozen in time and it's not even in

russia it's the town of burns bergen the arctic circle which lies on a norwegian archipelago called spitsbergen a vibrant soviet settlement a group there after mining rights were granted in the one nine hundred twenty s. but when communism collapsed so did the community in the third of her special reports on some avoidable finds out how an old soviet dream still provides a means of survival and is also helping preserve the past. this is a legacy no one should be proud of heaps of scrap metal littering pristine arctic landscape building stilton over their foundation pipes being black smoke over the snow covering peaks the traces of the soviet industrial activity on the burgen archipelago made a pretty picture if the guiding principle here is the worse the better locals like to tell the story about back in soviet times when norwegian visiting barons were.

and how prosperous this was well times obviously i can see where the slow progress they still are tracking a region tourists are barren bird and without. cash that's why when. our dollar is common is what i would call it here a few days ago and started growing in the way the local administration decided to paint it in you and put it at variance work sound where communism have long been a life time goal but is rapidly becoming the means of livelihood rusty soviet heritage has suddenly become a hard to reach 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. on the wrists. this thing goes but now we have

a new roof. minus. one of my. new from. back in the nineteen eighties there is work was a burgeoning mining community during the soviet union it was determined to maintain it costs. to locate it halfway between north america and western europe the spitzbergen archipelago is part of norway with a special status that allows other countries to set up industrial bases here in the middle. of the cold war it served as the us the stars westernmost outpost now it's one of the soviet union slask down to quick preserved relics and various stages essentially a picture of what would have happened to the soviet union if it was cut off from italy financial support for two decades it's a curious site for western tourists and i think it could be even more appealing for russian traders to keep its presence on speeds bergen russia is still maintaining a coal mine here but and chance of profit is far behind local souvenir shops so
