gadhafi loyalists and continue to put up a strong resistance in play nato has killed hundreds of civilians in recent bombing raids this comes as libya's former rebels are granted a seat at the u.n. where talks moved to post-war reconstruction. he's staying within the u.n. palestine is prepared its bid to become a full member despite washington promising to veto through the security council this as some israeli settlers on the west bank say they are ready to go and claim they're forced to stay against their will. and in kosovo a standoff continues between police and local ethnic serbs as angry pristina has taken control of two border posts blocking serbian imports.

and broadcasting live from moscow where it is six o one in the morning this is r t glad to have you with us on to our top story in libya anti get off your forces have a resumed their attack on the besieged town of bani walid just as a day after they were repelled by loyalists troops fighting has also flared in the ousted at leader's home city of syria meanwhile the coffee spokes men accused of nato of backing the rebels and providing them with ammunition also even though he may said at least three hundred fifty civilians have been killed and seven hundred injured in the overnight shelling of serious with the alliance of denying the accusations responsible for the recent visits of leaders to the were stricken country assistance in protecting the population but as laura emmett reports and

europe's top brass have a different agenda on their minds. david cameron and nicolas sarkozy surveyed their hyundai work the most senior leaders to visit tripoli since their countries began the nato intervention in libya they say their work is not yet done all with the mission and kill civilians. working he's right civilians are still being killed but now the kidnapping it's virtually powerless the people increasingly doing the killing are national transitional council forces together with nato as they attack lead and other gadhafi strongholds and 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 supporters clearly there are real problems

on the ground there is a legacy of such a conflict that you will have human rights abuses taking on both sides i think the rebels the national transitional council have promised to hold their own forces 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 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 all 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 hometown is one of the last holdouts

a letter purportedly from the colonel himself begs the u.n. security council to protect sirte 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 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 indicates the national oil corporation in particular getting the oil flowing again nor any london. national transitional council now granted a seat at the united nations archy's going to treat you can reports now on the first steps to rebuilding the country. 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 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 recalls alleviation and generally healthy government in libya organize elections and write a new constitution and that kind of new and participation is welcomed by all members this is something that watches 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 will put an end to the chaos there as a result of the failure to properly implemented what really is more a resolution aiming at protecting civilians the country found itself in a full scale civil war with civilians suffering not also the resolution expresses the security council's determination to lift the will fly zone over the legal

airspace in the very near future well that's a provision called forward by russia and a provision that received the support of our members take a listen. and really a very charming situation into political diplomatically in this important transfer considers lifting a new fly zone over libya particularly as this new fly zone has been violations arbitrary. and used 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 planes are 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 leave years when siege to the national transitional council which toppled commented on although not yet holding the whole of lead here the rebels nevertheless represent their. entry at the going 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 calls for removing a ban on small arms supplies to levy or to protect u.n. personnel 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 the v.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 view that are out for grabs is extremely worrying. the left behind are only brimming with 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 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 been his acceptance for libya's former rebels hasn't 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. the sense of sorrow and loss on the streets and anger later in the program we speak to a palestinian politician who thinks that her people should get a fairer treatment from the international community. ethnic tension on the border with a breakaway kosovo intensifies following friday's takeover two disputed border posts because of in 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 called the unilateral action of kosovo albanians are safe earth reports from one of the seized checkpoints. you can see the sign put up by the k full force it's a warning to the ethnics that protest is ok for the nato peacekeeping mission has been working here at the border points with you like they call their barbed wire fences that they've got the sound back as well and still a number of protesters that have been staying at the barricade of the border point not so many at the moment but they've made it very very clear that if anyone tries to remove the barricades that they've made that they're willing to defend and they'll be lots more people coming to the defense as well the take a vote of these control points they see the essex the population here in the north as an extension of push dina's control over the disputed territory now amid concerns repeat of what we saw in july when filing clashes over the course think of

the making of me to try and take this place resulted in the death of the policeman is actually being relatively quiet here what we've seen is a huge number of serbian. turning out at these barricades but what we've got at the moment it's a standoff situation is a war of. checkpoints at the barricades. and then the capel forces at the actual crossing over no one wants to make a move and although the word has been quite diplomatic from what we've heard a base side schools the calm the peace but of course the actions the scene quite different than those seems to be a lot of hostility between both sides that needs to be resolved. first reporting there has also caught up with a top negotiator mediated talks on kosovo was also being disputed checkpoints. the fun of it now calling on both sides to resume discussions and has shared his views

on a possible solution to the problem. wrote 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 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 unix assisted them in this attempt and they breached their own mandate they reached their status neutral position toward the costs of war in serbia and we are really satisfied with the small and it's against security council resolution for all forty four it's against the mandate of united states against six point plan by bunky move which was supported by security council and their land states the those two gates should be different than the others and they should have

only international custom presence once you put the custom officers then you will put a flag then you will put a coat of arms then you will push the so-called costs of the 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. and it was probably. not be able to get the basics then like ok so it's like that since creation is it worse or better it's probably about the same as it always was and still is great because you wouldn't have a job which is when you hear the streets of new york to find out how much of its people are feeling the pinch of rising poverty. check out the world's northernmost monument to let tourists are flocking to a surprising relic of the soviet.

leave the statements goddess of what it does to his economy all to the peace process there is no political debate. he's wrong about whether it's right or wrong doing it and we know about many certain moments 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 is really only digs in around decision and with women the way the prospects of peace seem as unlikely as the rise actually leaving the west bank policy r.t. . palestinian politician who. says palestine deserves recognition after years of being under israeli occupation so a sense of sorrow and loss not station and anger that others instantly get recognition and strangely those who want revenge as prepared as we are and who have

indecision among the e.u. leaders on how to deal with greece's debt which is now one and a half times the size of its economy but it's not alone from the global financial strains is being felt everywhere as more harshness 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 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 is getting worse

actually where the. big manifests three thousand people manifesting because it's too expensive they're living in israel that's what's going on but he 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. so why would people many perhaps you're such a lone. sell newspapers you wouldn't have a job this is the. have you felt the impact and 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 a choice 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 to be any more american dream there's no more white picket fence and not everyone's me

course the town 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 a nazi officer said did you do that probably cause i responded no you did it. and now time to take a look at some stories from across the globe. a poll of russia party has gained of the most votes in a lot of years snap problem entry election according to partial results polls suggest the harmony center has won thirty one percent of the vote beating at the party of the former president and the bloc of the prime minister meanwhile speculation is now emerging may form a coalition to keep the pro russian party out of government there's been no party

a means of survival and is helping preserve the past. it's the legacy no one should be proud of heaps of scrap metal littering pristine arctic landscape building stilton over that foundation of 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 big guiding principle here is the worse the better what will like to tell the story about back in soviet times when norwegians are a visiting barons word also on its. feet and how prosperous this was well the prime obviously can't buy this only blaggard still attracting a region tourists are bearing the word. needed cash that's why when. our goal is common it was uncovered here a few days ago instead of throwing it away the local administration decided to

paint it in you and at various works central square communism have 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 the spirit types of a by gone era we have some problems with. the use of tourists mubarak. goes but now we have new rules. minus. the work. from. back in the nine hundred eighty s. there was a burgeoning mining community the soviet union was determined to maintain at all costs. are located halfway between north america and western europe bergen
