eight pm and first no more war planes or air strikes in libya the u.n. security council 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 has gone if you can reports from washington d.c. . the u.s. here to 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 un security council mandate from march now with russia's initiative the council has voted to and the mandate and complete all nato apper operations by the thirty first of october and as we heard from russia's employed to the united nations. nato is expected to comply with the red resolution it's important to note that 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 scheduled to meet on wednesday in brussels to finalize the termination date of the operations but they abruptly postponed the meeting until friday presumably to weigh

in on levy an interim government's request for an extension u.n. diplomats were saying this latest resolution that lifts the no fly zone is an end over face 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 grounds for the nato mission in libya have kept changing throughout the whole campaign from stopping a potential massacre in libya to killing cut off the nato has many times been accused of violating the u.n. mandate the announced goal was to protect civilians but scores of levy and civilians died in nato strikes the country is in ruins right now is also brimming with weapons for more on what's the situation on the ground in libya right now here is my colleague and he said now we. the war is over but the weapons are fully loaded. human rights watch has expressed grave concern about

leftover arms in libya their number one fear warehouse thought to hold ground to air missiles which could in the wrong hands take down passenger aircraft through may 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 his possession and those white 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 if there's somebody who has weapon we ask him if he has a per se shoot for this weapon are not. the. checkpoints have been set up 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 what if they

don't and what does that mean for pulse 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 mechanism 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 but i swear i don't know if you look. at the home we have some of the sea. and 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 walk down one block in tripoli and twice as many firearms. do you know how many weapons there are in libya i think have to have incentive yeah i

think everybody has and what some think the fun of arms in the country could spell disaster ahead in the vacuum after gadhafi and post revolt chaos as groups fight out a vicious. adult power. what you have now in libya is scores of armed factions who have no respect for each other and who have no respect for mates or actually either they've opportunistically used mater 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 an intensification of the civil war between increasingly the factions which have overthrown the gadhafi regime with many libyans now yet ready to say farewell to arms and to see which could only be daffy with nato how it's now asking the alliance to continue its mission. indication of just how unstable the country is and he's now a r.t.

tripoli. not a good picture has been painted there will talk more about what's next maybe for libya when the no fly zone is lifted let's talk now to show and rain is a palestinian human rights activist thanks for being with us this could tell i guess look back as well isn't it now that this deadlines finally been put in stone and looking back at nato seven months of military campaign in libya as it enters these final few days now what are your thoughts about it do we get was a mission that was justified and indeed did it comply with it she went to terry and mission at the end of the day. i don't think it's a mission or a human spirit to. leave the middle to appreciate. the moved or anything. recently libya not just the. g.m. but i think it's society these days i think in society the concern that we have this

society may be you will explode more and more of the violence will continue more for so long it will destroy the society institutions the really thing this is you know the. concern that we have after this long military. libya because it's not like egypt the case is not like tunisia i think in the case it's completely different than what troubled against gadhafi a few days ago also it's the situation. before i think if they acted according to lower the principles and things like that maybe things will will change i mean if they captured. their free in a peaceful way according to law completely the situation will be different but the

. other what's happened it's. against the qaddafi beside also the inhuman and. treating the all of these things this is makes the situation difficult and i think the society it's. a very way. society i don't think the i have but i wish libya the libya. piece of this terrible situation but i don't think so child what about the human cost here i mean nato saying it still doesn't have any information about the number of civilian deaths in libya over the last seven months to think we'll ever learn how many innocents were killed. it's see how i think it's a high human cost this is a high price but they need to. they don't take her with these things.

against what's going on in afghanistan these days and what's happened in libya it's an example that they automatically care with the human situation of they are not. with the life of the people i think it's a high price high cost the consequences of the it will continue for so long that's the case of this is what they call the humanitarian intervention it's not even with the region completely it's against the human the material what's going to happen after monday when this deadline. we thing is there going to be more trouble breaking out again and the the t.c. says that it doesn't want nato to pull out it's worried about trouble what do you think is going to have. been both. really a real concern there the situation maybe will explode. libya i mean

internally between the tribes between the different political groups. communities this is what will happen in libya i hope not but this is just to show this is a hope but the reality i think in the girl done when you put everything together you see that there is i think ground there is something in the ground seeing different very briefly we saw the people we've been speaking to said the interim government isn't in control of libya it can't control is a mess fighters on the ground what's your understanding of the state of unity within the country and within the interim government. i think it's just the superior thing for us to you know it's not on the ground really it's just. a decision i think it takes. to. what's happened. in libya the. consequences will continue i have not

but this is a wish charge ever in palestinian rights activist being on the line from ramallah tonight much appreciate thank you well off a lot more on the story for of course on our web site including the hunt for the remnants of. his regime broken legs and other injuries the country's next prime minister fears of his for his life saying the media's rep representing his severe beatings as a suicide attempt to find out more about that so on line from us tonight also the u.s. military machine may be moving out of iraq but they'll still be spooks in the shadows we could report to you online about why the cia is staying behind against it r t v dot com right now. european banks have agreed to write a fifty percent of the debt owed to them by greece it was decided during an emergency summit in brussels where your leaders made what many believe was the final attempt to save the euro zone the settlement was reportedly a close run thing with the bank holding out until german chancellor angela merkel

threatened letting greece defaults while the also promises to loan athens another one hundred billion euros well the looming bailout funds the live now to expand to a trillion euros now the task is to put it all into action dr li rather a ms for britain's taxpayers' alliance which monitors howard leaders are cutting and spending there where the trouble let's speak to him should be dr rather and thanks for being on the program all your thoughts on what's been achieved that in brussels over the last twenty four hours or not where it's what's not been achieved over the last twenty twenty five years which is more important look i wish the people of greece extraordinary well i mean they're in a very difficult bind a moment has real pain being felt by ordinary people but. it's almost like one of those 1980's comedy is where the somebody giving a fellow deathbed speech who then keeps getting up and carrying on it's it's something which. that the fundamentals were there to be seen twenty twenty five

years ago it was supposed to be a six to sixty percent debt to g.d.p. ratio before states qualified in the first place to join the euro and now it's being seen as some achievement if greece manages to get to get down to twice that so you. i think it has always been a bit of a ticking time bomb anyway you know it's long been a ticking time bomb and no nonetheless this was a big push we've seen in the last twenty four hours is the most comprehensive plan we've seen so far especially that it was agreed unanimously by all e.u. states surely it's some degree of a way forward isn't it well of course a small step is the way forward and hopefully and as i say i do hope that this is to achieve a measure of calming that the markets and it may well be that looking at it it actually acts as a spur for political and statesman and indeed trade unionists with increase to get together and get their act together because that's fundamentally what's needed the overall i guess you know we're going to say this next one but you know what are your thoughts about the continuation of bailout politics towards greece where it's

good money after bad frankly. bailouts as a rule of thumb unless they are there to achieve a set end with major reforms as a lot of them don't work and i don't see within this package or not reading through the fifteen or so pages of the document i mean there are some aspirations and a lot of aspirations in there but in terms of concrete proposals they're a little thin on the ground. so is it more of a matter of keeping greece on life support rather than giving it a cure the new year while possibly for eternity the way around making sure the life support isn't visibly switched off my my own view is that ultimately greece will have to join the euro and i think the longer this leave your reality is avoided is yes because the longer this reality is it's avoided the longer this is that the money will be will be pouring into to support a new reality i mean what is this what is this narrative if you can really summed it up if if if if if greece does bail out and it all goes wrong what is the

scenario for everyone else. well they'll have to stop paying for the greek bailout i suppose on one level. the greek economy as a proportion of the whole of the european. is relatively small i mean in overall terms so from the basic drive underneath. economic union with in your opinion is the vineland and the states of the old founding six and. the i would say i would suggest that the that the euro is a survivable entity without some of the periphery states which have got problems with respect to either. mismanagement of the economy or housing market issues or simply being on a different economic cycle from the from the core ok thanks for the program does leave all the remote research fellow at the responsive ball spending taxpayers' alliance of the about the right things of the most. proposed bigger bailout there will need some foreign cash to top it up to the head of the fund is no due to

travel to china to try and attract some backing but economists there say that the e.u. is trying to get others to do what it should have sorted out itself there are plenty . of hero in who's going to pay because you're talking about one trillion euro and this is a lot of money even have right now doesn't have that money and they are talking about leveraging the european financial stability fund and to the countries like china. india even brazil to lend to d. or your peers ability to fund if you don't have money you can sell you as says to raise the money or. already some well china i think. a token amount of. your peers that billet the fund but do we frame for playing a leading role because this is this is what do you hear leadership have. well

even if the crisis plan pays off will still take a while to filter down to the ground in greece but some are finding their own ways to try and make things work as sarah first reports marx. 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 they give a painting lessons for free but they take your gun for free also somebody else is teaching yoga the 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 all home cooked meals. for a country in crisis building socially unity can prevail extremely hard crisis is a terrible thing it be 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 populist 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 huge huge everything we do without money like looking after people are making things by ourselves nicky gives me and her friend alexander he's also a member of the time bank and lesson one of the free services she provides and in exchange alexander 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 networks places in the latins cave of materials it's no wonder really that this idea of swapping gets in services has proven so popular it's building solidarity it's a time when the economic situation is extremely uncertain. it's not to respond to. crisis in the sense that it's going to overturn terrible economic policies that are being hosed 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 approving priceless commodities so i think

athens. fresh clashes broke out in new york during nine to wall street march followed by arrests several hundred people marched in support of activists in oakland california who suffered a riot police cracked. a new york. at 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 it is back now citigroup was a walking through manhattan there were helicopters flying overhead we saw riot police come out. and risk stream of police officers employees cars following the group around there were some it scenes of police officers arresting someone to visit at some point taking them down to the ground and this is six weeks in to a movement that is one of our larger and louder not just in new york city going to

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 old clinton california that this seems many say look like something of the urban wars will cause the occupy to get into 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 optimist from a campground that they stablish 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 law that was in a rocky war veteran by the name of scott polls and was 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 a police car jack tile 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. so far there's not much images or visuals or video that showed any of the protesters i tactic attacking the police officers and the police in oakland california new york city and throughout the country have been criticised for using brutal force against peace activists that are just trying to exercise their freedom of speech. a correspondent in new york now on our correspondents in the u.s. watching those protests and posting what they see online check out sees a twitter feed for those meantime i would this is in oakland have put footage on the web showing the intensity of the police crackdown this is the video that. was referring to in a report showing an iraqi war veteran who's injured scott olsen seen lying on the

ground with a group of protesters in russia to help in the so-called. the a please to help you folks in i'm saying when a flash bomb appears to be thrown by one of the policemen or seems to be the deliberately aiming it at the activists let's take a look at video again other videos from the protests also available on t.v. you tube channel it appears that the ability to make footage about this public is making a difference to the current protests says joshua holland he's editor of the independent news website ultimate. everybody has a cell phone camera there are 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 had in the past when you know if if if an act of excessive force by a police officer wasn't 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 the central into the center of our discourse by this occupy wall street movement and that is that's already having a significant impact. one thing that big the crossfire was not for that don't worry a new application for android powered called i'm getting arrested more is friends and family for being handcuffed they come in and they check out the details that are exactly twenty five minutes past eight o'clock at night here in moscow you just twenty minutes away for later spore with richard he's got the latest of the world's top female tennis players are getting on to their end of season finale in istanbul lots more about that later after the thursday night business next from moscow.

when welcome to business r t some progress appears to have been made in russia's efforts to join the world trade organization georgia the only country which still opposes russia's annexation has now agreed to new proposals from swiss mediators in the u.c. asians and but russia says it will need some time to consider these swiss proposals was discussed this now with the chief economist at deutsche bank russia has left a subject and it's not always a pleasure to have you in the studio so i mean progress or not do you think with or without george's consent russia will join the world trade organization by the end of this year is that this problem just well i think clearly we're seeing progress i think we're seeing efforts on the part of the international community community to advance these talks pick because this is really the last hurdle on the road to russia's. w.t. accession clearly russia can try to bypass georgia on this

road towards w t o membership but i think for the sake of the organization itself for the sake of preserving the rules based framework of the w t o i think all sides should work towards an agreement which however should be struck very quickly because time is running out and russia needs to be in the organization to be admitted there by the end of the year otherwise new delays may take place which is something that we don't want to see again yet we've seen we've seen delays for eighteen years now absolutely eighty three russia has been trying to join the opposition on the other hand it's been successfully trading with the e.u. with china with other members do you think it's actually that urgent that vital for russia to join and why well first of all i don't think it was that successful this trade on the part of russia outside of the w t o i think this trade was. frequently

. not based on prosody and there are a lot of restrictions more than one hundred restrictions against russian exports abroad. and. joining the w t o is one of the key ways in which russia can get this recites he can get. the access to this a level playing field in terms of international trade and by using the structures of the w t o such as the dispute settlement body russia can. deal away with some of these restrictions were introduced by russia's key trading partners well what industries are we looking at as to most benefits if russia joins dudley's here and how quickly will this actually happen. the main beneficiaries are export industries so we're talking about industries such as metals such as steel

such as chemicals including fertilizers these are precisely the sectors where washing seemed to be most competitive one of the ways to gauge this is just to look at the number of restrictions against russian exporters abroad and you will see that more than half of all of these restrictions against russian exports are either in phones or in chemicals so those are the sectors that are likely to benefit on the other hand there will be sectors that will be negatively affected as well and those that can't really compete noncompetitive sector yes but a significant degree their share their importance of these laggard sectors in the economy has already dwindled has already declined substantially and the past five to ten years so the auto sector agriculture to some degree i would say manufacturing machine building textiles those would probably be the. weak spots

that the government would need to take care of including through greater subsidies perhaps on the transition period basis all right. thank you so much for your time here for your comments i was going to miss that bank russia and i'm afraid that's all we have time for in this edition of business.

internationally. with our top story on paying for. his marching orders from the u.n. to leave libya and end its destructive airstrikes but leaving the country struggling to deal with a population that. bus arrests in new york protest . showed solidarity with this info from. europe's leaders declare they finally got a debt solution to get more money into greece and telling. what they're owed by the collapsing economy. while at the center of the crisis it's back to basics is cash strapped greek. now while the euro club struggles to keep the family together those who highlighted the flaws in the first place are getting more vocal in saying they should call it a day next leader.
