just after seven pm here in the russian capital you're watching our key now to our top story no more war planes and air strikes in libya the u.n. security council's unanimously voted to lift the no fly zone next monday but libya's new leaders want the mission extended to the end of the year let's cross live now to our he's got an edge just in a washington d.c. and then a definitive enough is enough for the u.n. to make his military mission in libya is this what was expected though. well passed through the u.n. security council voted unanimously to lift the no fly zone over libya effectively meaning to and nato operations there nato has been operating all this time under the u.n. security council mandate from march now and russia's initiative the council has voted to end that mandate it's important the vote comes at a time when levy is interim leader asks nato to prolong its air missions through december and add military advisers on the ground the nato ministers had been
11:02 am
scheduled to meet on wednesday in brussels to finalize determination date but they abruptly postponed the meeting until friday presumably to weigh in and lead to an interim government's request for an extension u.n. diplomats were saying that this latest resolution that the no fly zone is is is an end over phase that raises questions as to what the next phase will be some analysts say maybe nato is planning to stay in one form or another anything is possible at this point the ground as we know for the nato mission in libya have kept changing throughout the whole campaign from stopping a potential massacre in leave you to killing qaddafi nato has many times been accused of violating the u.n. mandate the announced goal was to protect civilians but school scores of levy and civilians died the needles strike the country is in ruins now it's also bringing with weapons for more on what's the situation on the ground in libya right now here is my colleague and so now we. the war is
11:03 am
over but the weapons are fully loaded. human rights watch has expressed grave concern about leftover armor in libya their number one fear warehouses thought to hold ground to air missiles which could in the wrong hands take down passenger aircraft it's through mate so our nato allies in the region which these weapons have been flooding libya and also libya is quite a world country anyway the population has has quite a lot of light weapons in its possession and those light weapons are becoming a heavy burden on the national transitional council now relying on an army of former rebels for security it would try to control the bends i mean if there is somebody who has worked and we asked him if he has a third is a shoo in for this we are not. checkpoints have been set up
11:04 am
across tripoli to check that those carrying weapons have proper documentation and those who do have the paperwork are being called on by the national transition committee to return their arms the question now is what if they don't and what does that mean up for parts gadhafi libya and its stability and now as you can see is being secured here everything is under control and the only word thing that will make some make enemies of how to give back the weapons but we see something very different i asked the head commander what the plan is to disarm the population. i swear i don't know if you. select the internet and show us that we have to see the. man who had a makeshift arms collection center that covers one neighborhood in the capital we're showing. you these are the weapons people brought to me today not many.
11:05 am
walk down one block in tripoli and you'll see twice as many hire. as you know how many weapons there are in libya i think this lot have to have incentive yeah i think everybody have a weapon some think the front of arms in the country could spell disaster ahead in the vacuum after gadaffi and post results chaos as groups fight out a vicious battle with power. what you have now in libya is schools of armed factions who have no respect for each other and who have no respect for mates who actually either they've opportunistically used mate so to achieve some aims and nato has been foolish enough to go along with this so i think what we're going to see now is the intensification of the civil war between increasingly the factions which have overthrown with the gadhafi regime with many libyans not yet ready to say a farewell to arms at the end of the sea which could
11:06 am
only be gadhafi with nato how is now asking the alliance to continue its mission of indication of just how unstable the country is and he said no way our teeth crippling. asia times correspondent beth escobar thinks the country's outlook is bleak and sees comparisons between what happened in sirte with events in iraq. at the end of two thousand and four series you know colbert two thousand and eleven what the marines did which was to destroy the norther to save the t.n.c. and need to did to see it what kept off it didn't do when people say no he's going to have a massacre in benghazi need to end it and see the civil war in libya it's already obvious they will never set up a government because they're militias fighting against militias so what i predict is plunder of libyan resources nato running libya as
11:07 am
a kind of protectorate puppet government hamid karzai style in. tripoli and civil war all over the place. plenty more on this story on our website including the hunt for the remnants of gadhafi regime broken legs another horrific injuries take on trees acts prime minister fears for his life saying media is presenting his severe beating as a suicide attempt. and the u.s. military machine may be moving out of iraq about there will still be spooks in the shadows we report of why the cia is staying behind it's at r.t. dot com right now. european banks have agreed to write off fifty percent of the debt owed to them by greece it was decided during an emergency summit in brussels were e.u. leaders made what many believe was a final attempt to save the euro zone while the settlement was reportedly a close run thing with a bank lobby holding out until the german chancellor angela merkel threatened
11:08 am
letting greece default the e.u. also promises to loan out as another one hundred billion euros while the ballooning bailout fund is in line to expand to a trillion euros well now the task is to put it all into action but you have got over it well two runs two of belgium's leading business magazines believes what's been achieved simply lacks any sort of punch. it's just buying time this is really not the everybody has been asking for i would describe it as a water pistol this of course prevents for the moment that we really get to a kind of. escalation of the greek debt level which is now growing in the direction of the eighty percent of g.d.p. but you cannot call this a structural resolution to the different greek problems they are a little bit afraid to really bite the bullet here because if you look at it closely there is only one solution for greece and the truth have been put on the table already several months ago for greece to leave the euro zone but that is
11:09 am
a decision everybody's afraid of what for example not being discussed now but which is fairly much on the minds of several. of the european leaders is that there is a huge problem brewing in portugal because this country is going down to greet the greek road quite rapidly now so if one does the action today on greece one immediately has to put a similar kind of action into operation with respect to portugal. or europe's supposed bigger bailout part will need some foreign cash to top it up the head of the fund is now due to travel to china to try and attract some backing but he could economists there say the e.u. is trying to get other student what it should have sorted out itself there are plenty detail in who's going to pay because you're talking about one trillion euro and this is a lot of money. right now doesn't have money they are talking about the european financial stability fund. the other countries like
11:10 am
china. india even brazil to lend to do you have peers ability to fund if you don't have money. to raise the money or. already what china will do i think they really buy a token amount of. your peers realty fund but it will be for a. leading role because. this is what you'll be in leadership. or even if the e.u.'s anti-crisis plan pays off help will still take a while to filter down to the ground in greece but those living through straightened times are finding their own ways to make it as artists are for three ports. they say that time is money for a country where cash is now in short supply time has taken on a whole different value the time bank quick change want to services and sometimes
11:11 am
they give a painting lessons for free but they take you for free also somebody else is stating yoga time banks just one of a growing number of service swapping alternatives that are providing people in greece another way to cope with the tough economic conditions services can include anything from language classes to babysitting or home cooked meals for a country in crisis building social unity camp prefix trini hard crisis is a terrible thing he creates fear it divides people from public sector workers from private sector workers it divides richer workers to poor workers immigrant workers from home work for the party networks have been a great way of bringing together large groups of people the populous slogan here in greece now is no one's alone in the crisis organizations are arranging swap shops to exchange clothes one town in greece is even started saying bharti currency it's
11:12 am
huge huge everything we do without money like looking after people are making friends by ourselves nicky gives me and her friend alexandra he's also a member of the time bank and lesson one of the free services she provides and in exchange alexandra helps out with the gardening so the time is repaid it's an amazing way. of receiving finally by giving to the other. many greeks struggle with wage cuts tax increases and with unemployment in the country now cripplingly high there's been huge interest in the time banks and networks places in the latins cave of materials it's no wonder really that this idea of swapping goods and services has proven so popular it's building solidarity a time when the economic situation is extremely uncertain it's not to respond
11:13 am
to. crisis in the sense that it's going to overturn the terrible economic policy. by the troika it's giving people to feel that they can do something. with the tough economic times leaving many greeks feeling worthless there is real value in projects like the time bank with the greek government drowning in debt these creative solutions are offering any support but encouragement to the people here which at a time of deep recession proofing priceless commodity served. athens . over there for you over the deal. down the numbers are now being poured over by economists and experts to see if they add up or one of them is artie's max keiser who believes nothing's changed you still fighting debt with debt. the plan is to create a one trillion euro slush fund and to not write off fifty percent of greek
11:14 am
debts that misperception are simply going to move it around the fraudulent balance sheets that are being organized to operate together it's a debt problem that they're going to cure by adding more debt let's just have the terrorists run the world economy they're doing a fantastic job give them more weapons of mass financial destruction give them more debt it's absurd you're guaranteeing global financial catastrophe by letting these charlatans pose these theories that adding debt to a debt problem is going to increase stability that's insane all the kaiser report has a deep debt to low down at fifteen minutes time right here on our take. how fresh clashes broke out in new york during an anti wall street march followed by arrests several hundred people marched in support of activists in oakland california who suffered a riot police crackdown earlier artie's body deported i reports from new york. at
11:15 am
least five hundred activists of occupy wall street were walking through a lower manhattan to show their solidarity with the protesters from oakland california as this back massive group was a walking through manhattan and there were helicopters flying overhead we saw a riot police come out. and risk stream of police officers employees cars following the group around there were some scenes of police officers arresting someone to visit at some point taking them down to the ground this is six weeks to a movement and that his whirlwind are larger and louder not just in new york city across the entire country in the past day or so we have seen a huge crackdown now in atlanta and occupy demonstration took place at least fifty to this were arrested there but it was an oakland california that this seems many
11:16 am
say look like something of the urban war still the occupy today is that to the streets there were at least three hundred fifty of them odd got into clashes with the police and the police fired tear gas and rubber bullets at the crowd trying to remove the optimus from a campground that they stablished two weeks ago in front of city hall at least ninety seven protesters who were arrested but we do know that there was one man shot in the face by rubber bullets and that was in a rocky war veteran by the name of scott olsen is a former marine two time iraq war veteran he is now in critical condition from what's being reported he was shot in the head by police projectile and all right now he's in the hospital he was in one of the many iraq war veteran south were peacefully participating in the occupy oakland march so. farai there's not much
11:17 am
images or visuals or video to come out that showed any of the protesters attacked eight attacking the police officers and the police in oakland california new york city and throughout the country have been criticized for using brutal force against peace activists that are just trying to exercise their freedom of speach. our correspondents in the u.s. are watching the protests and posting that what they see online check out our twitter feed for those meanwhile i would this is in oakland have put footage on the web showing the intensity of the police crackdown and one of those videos is that you're on your screen right now this is the one i'm breena porton i referred to in her report showing how an iraq war veteran was injured that's marine scott olsen is seen lying on the ground when a group of protestors rushed to help him and at that moment a flash mob it's the only one of the policeman who seemed earlier to be deliberately aiming at the activists so here's a quick replay of what you just saw there other videos like these from the protester available of our t.v.
11:18 am
. channel and it appears that the ability to make footage like this public is making a difference to the current protests joshua holland editor of the independent news website culture that. there were but he has a cell phone there is millions and millions and millions of cell phone cameras that are just photographing all of this stuff it all ends up on you too so i think without having a greater impact than it might have when you know if if a given act of excessive force by a by a police officer was in captured by c.b.s. nobody would ever see it the movement has shifted the discourse in this country dramatically just a few months ago the national journal did a study that found that the mainstream media was focusing much more on the deficit then on the unemployment crisis the foreclosure crisis student debt these issues have been thrust into this. it's at the center of our discourse there's occupy wall
11:19 am
street movement and. that's already having a significant impact. on one more thing to add to caught in the crossfire well there's an app for that a new application for android powered phones called i'm getting arrested tells lawyers friends and family if you're being handcuffed check out the details that are dot com. well arty's a feisty find as you are here in about ten minutes time and max and stacey are pulling no punches on europe solve solvency solutions but before that dmitri is here with the latest business. well in a warm welcome to business some progress appears to have been made russia's reference to join the world trade organization georgia the only country which still opposes russia as agreed to new proposals from swiss mediators in the negotiations in the course of as details georgia was seen as the last hurdle blokhin russia from
11:20 am
joining the w t o the main problem wall street monitoring all of the breakaway republics of south the said and a posse which of course won their independence after a brief conflict in two thousand and eight and sentient it was high between russia and georgia ever since then and the w t o has always been a major cause of conflict and the swiss mediators than the stepped in and offered plans which georgia has now accepted paving the way for russia to join that. russia has been trying for seventeen years to join the organization and it's still the largest economy outside not a member and of course it's not willing to accept just any proposal to become a member it should be no it's a bad russia could still join if it got a majority vote which would effectively deny georgia a veto the decision is scheduled to be taken on december the fifteenth in geneva
11:21 am
and if russia does become a member world bank experts say the russian economy could grow by eleven percent. and same with the story russia says it will need some time to consider the new swiss proposals well to discuss this i'm joined by ben ara senator in chief at business new europe magazine ben good to see you so do you think a breakthrough has been made or not what you're reading on this well it's taken a long time for them to get to this point and they desperately wanted to win russia's the last major economy in the world that's not a member of the w.t. and in that sense this is i mean they've been fighting and fighting and pushing and pushing and not getting anywhere and looks like it's going to happen so you think russia will actually accept these these new terms which still include apparently a monitoring of trade between russia and georgia by international observers yeah russia. has to decide but i think they can accept the terms on the table with these instruments face and so you know they want to get in i mean georgia's been blocking it completely and now they have conceded you know the mother says at the
11:22 am
end of the day these guys are your customers offices stand papers this is not like the peacekeepers or something in there which they are more sensitive about or i will say hypothetically russia does not actually accept these new terms the e.u. has been pressuring georgia already saying that it might go ahead make an exception and completely ignore george's veto kind of right to accept a new member every country has a right to veto a new a new member do you think russia still will join the debate here by the end of the year and yeah it looks like it's going to be a christmas present i mean as i understand it it doesn't have to be unanimous i mean the thing is all of those four countries to join have been unanimous and so it would be another black mark of russia's p.r. image and there's a lot of animosity between moscow and tbilisi however as you say the in the u.s. supreme pressure in georgia to play along in so much as you know there's been
11:23 am
a definite warming towards russian trade particularly nice and low strategic investment coming here the economies. going strongly it's a big important market growing and as a result of that is very interested in improving relations and particularly trade there were more trade and their companies coming here because for them it's where the profits are well on the other hand russia's been trying to to join the double is here for eighteen years now since one thousand nine hundred three i mean it still has a very close ties with the e.u. and with other countries that are members of the w.c. or do you think it's that urgent actually for it's not the situation of trade it's going very fast i mean bear in mind ten years ago trade global trade was about thirty percent thirty seven percent of global g.d.p. today it's already sixty and it will be eighty in the next twenty years and in terms of money you know you're going from thirty trillion dollars to five hundred trillion dollars in the space of thirty years and sowing disclosure lies ation the trade between come countries is becoming increasingly important and russia is
11:24 am
definitely so positioning itself to be the middleman between asia and europe which is where the fastest trade is going to be and so joining the ability to smooth the whole process is you know mechanisms of trade exist but now everybody's on the same playing field they have the same rules so should go faster should be cheaper and russia will see a higher volume of trade if not with its own trade but trade kind of through the country and the kremlin definitely seems very interested and i will for quite a long while even before russia managed to agree with all countries except for georgia not to be with the u.s. there was this debate whether it was actually good or bad for russia to join w two you know because russia had to make concessions in the banking sector and had to make concessions in terms of car parts and the car industry and providing certain conditions for auto producers do you think there's still many downsides for russia join a double yeah i mean it will increase pressure on domestic producers i mean it's not because of competition exactly and then the you know the drop in the barriers i
11:25 am
mean a lot of russian industries not ready to compete head to head but you take. sector for example i mean in there in passenger rusher is ready to compete but in other things like trucks and buses it's not however it's a phase transition there's about eight years where they can put certain duties and terrace on to protect themselves and gradually those are removed and the like automotive they say it's enough time for companies to get ready and at the end of the day it's a good thing i mean this is really what we need this reform by osmosis increasing competition reducing trade barriers but only be good for russia in the long run even if it costs them money and cost the local companies business in the short term and i think everybody accepts that including the criminal this is why they want to do it i think definitely winces the consumer because they'll be more competition more important goods coming in prices going down here all right ben are saying you so much for your comments for your time ben arris the editor in chief at business
11:26 am
new europe magazine joining us and steve. the world's emerging economic powers say they will inject cash into the euro zone to stem the day of crisis contagion china reportedly agreed to invest in the rescue fund russia is also involved according to presidential. he says the country could contribute to rescue efforts through the i.m.f. meanwhile markets rebound globally after europe's wide ranging deal to fight the sovereign debt crisis so you look at those figures oil is coming back from one of the biggest drops this month and speculation that the u.s. economy's actually coming right back up we've just seen those g.d.p. figures coming in at two and a half percent for the first quarter and therefore light sweet is up more than two and a half dollars and brant is also standing around eleven hundred eleven dollars and a half a barrel us the market so obviously you are rallying from these g.d.p. figures and optimism coming from europe the dow jones up more than two percent nasdaq just
11:27 am
a notch or two percent that's consumers have been splashing out there for third quarter growth came in twice at the pace of the second quarter if we look at europe it's even more jubilant over there the footsie up to half percent that's five percent notably the financial sector was gaining barclays up fifteen percent on the footsie and deutsche bank up thirteen percent in frankfurt and here's the closing picture in russia second day of growth the r.t.s. up of four point one percent of the close my six a bit under that one point seven percent but that's because of the strengthening ruble if we look at the main movers on the my sex among blue chips banks were also standout again as well not in the same pace as we see barclays or. in europe but still two point three percent is good the normal sneaker was up just point four percent losing most of the steam from earlier in the day as apparently a shareholder conflict with salaries escalating and in other sectors the retailer
