it's nine pm thursday night here in moscow you're watching welcome my name is kevin our 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 parties garnishes you can report from washington d.c. . us here to council voted unanimously to lift the no fly zone over libya actively 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 talk and their mandate and complete all nato operations by the thirty first of october and as we heard from russia's envoy to the united nations. nato is expected to comply with abrupt resolution we expect the naval council to act in
1:02 pm
accordance with his decision of the security council of the united nations to suspend its operation at midnight. so it was. indeed a new chapter is being called one. of the leading people who will be able to take advantage of the new situation to build a new libya the design it's important to note that the vote comes at a kind i'm going to leave us in print and leader asks nato to prolong its air missions through december and military advisers on the ground the nato ministers have been scheduled to meet on wednesday in brussels to finalize that fermentation date of the operations but iraq we postponed the meeting until friday presumably to weigh in on the lead 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
1:03 pm
maybe nato is planning to say in one form or another anything is possible at this point the grounds for the nato mission in libya have to after 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 civilians died in need of strikes the country is in ruins wait now is also a premium with weapons for more on what's the situation on the ground in libya right now. here with my colleague i mean so now we. the war is over but the weapons are fully loaded. human rights watch has expressed grave concern about leftover are in libya their number one fear warehouses to hold ground to air new found which could in the wrong hands take down passenger aircraft it's through
1:04 pm
made so our nato allies in the region which these weapons have been fighting libyan also libya is quite well armed country anyway the population has has quite a lot of light weapons in its possession and those white my pants are becoming a heavy burden on the national transitional council now relying on an army of former rebels for security and we try to control the bends and we check if there's somebody has work and we ask him if he has authorization for this we 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's under control and the only one would think that we will make some mechanism how to
1:05 pm
give back the weapons but we see something very different i asked the head commander what the plan is to disarm the population and i swear i don't know. i think we have some of that see. right and a makeshift arms collection center that covers one neighborhood in the capital we are showing. you. these are the weapons people brought to me today. not many not down one block in tripoli and you'll see twice as many firearms. so you know how many weapons there are maybe i think it's like after we've been seeing them yeah i think everybody has their weapons some think the front of arms in the country could spell disaster ahead in the vacuum after gadhafi and post reports chaos as proof find out this is fragile power. what you
1:06 pm
have now and in libya is schools of armed factions who have no respect for each other and who have no respect for main through actually either they've opportunistically used nato 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 the gadhafi regime with many libyans not yet ready to say farewell to arms the n.g.c. which could only be daffy with nato how is now asking the alliance to continue its mission. indication of just how unstable the country is and he's now a r t tripoli. so nato is preparing to wind down its humanitarian mission despite the widespread skepticism about the price the libyan people that are pay for its help. it's
1:07 pm
a high human cost of this high price but they need to know the drug until they don't take her with these things what's happened in iraq was a bit of against what's going on in afghanistan these days and what's happened in libya is an example of you know that there are multiple concurrent with the human situation of they are not taking care with the life of the people i think it's a high price and the high cost and the consequences of the it will continue for so long that it's the case of this is what they call that humanitarian intervention it's not even within the region completely it's against a human of the material i have really a real concern that they are the situation may be will explode. libya i mean internally between the tribes between a different political groups. community of. show your bar and speed we've got
1:08 pm
a lot more about this whole story on our website as well of course including the hunt for the regime right now broken legs and other horrific injuries the country's next prime minister fears for his life he says say the media is presenting your severe greeting is a suicide attempt to get more about that some are websites about r.t. dot com. and the u.s. military machine may be moving out of iraq these days but they'll still be spooks in the shadows who report on why the cia is staying behind. european banks agreed to write off fifty percent of the debt owed to them by greece it was decided during a version see somebody in brussels where e.u. leaders made what many believe was the final attempt to save the euro the settlement was reportedly a close one figure with the bank lobby holding out until german chancellor angela merkel threatened letting greece default he also promises to loan athens another one hundred billion euros while the ballooning bailout fund is in line to expand though to a trillion euros next task is a pull it all into action but you go over the runs to belgium's leading business
1:09 pm
magazines told us it leaves what is achieved simply lacks any sort of deal which it's just buying time because it's 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 loosening escalation of the greek the gap level which is now growing in the direction of hundred and eighty percent of g.d.p. but you cannot call this a structural revolution 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 a decision everybody's afraid of and what for example not being discussed now with which is. very much on the mind of several of the european leaders is that there is
1:10 pm
a huge problem brewing important because this country is going down to greet the greek root quite rapidly now so. the action today on greece and immediately has put a similar kind of action into operation with respect of portugal so europe's proposed figure. need some extra foreign cash to top it up the head of the fund is now due to travel to china to try and attract some more backing but economists there say the e.u. is trying to get others to do what it should have sorted out by itself there are plenty he'd hero in who's going to pay because you're talking about in europe. this is a lot of money if i am has great now it doesn't have good money and we are talking about leveraging the european financial stability fund and. countries like china. india even brazil to lend to
1:11 pm
you have pierced ability to fly and if you don't have money you can sell your s.s. to raise the money or. already what china i think a really big move by a token among. your peers but brilliantly funny but it will be framed playing a leading role because this is this is what you look here leadership have. even if the crisis plan pays off it will still take a while to filter down to the ground in greece that some are trying to find their own way to make it through as artists first found out. they say that time is money for a country where cash is now in short supply time has taken on a whole different value than quick change montreux services sometimes they give basic lessons for free but they take your for free also somebody else's. time banks just one of a growing number of service working alternatives that are providing people in
1:12 pm
greece another way to cope with the tough economic conditions services killing create anything from language classes to babysitting all him kids' meals. for a country in crisis building social unity cam predicts tree me hard price is a terrible thing it creates fear it bites people from public sector workers from private sector workers it divides richer workers to poor workers immigrant workers from home. networks have been a great way of bringing together large groups of people the populace slogan here in greece now is no one's alone in the crisis organizations are arranging swap shops to exchange clothes one town increases even started its own party currency it's huge everything we do without. looking after people by ourselves he gives me and her friend alexandra he's also a member of the time bank and less than one of the three services she provides an
1:13 pm
exchange alexandra helps out with the gardening so the time is repaid it's an amazing way. of receiving finally by giving. many greeks struggle with wage cuts tax increases and with unemployment in the country now cripplingly high there's been a huge interest in the time banks and gas and networks this places in aladdin's cave of materials there's no wonder really that this idea of swapping gets in services has proven so popular it's building solidarity as a time when economic situation is extremely uncertain. it's not a response to the crisis in the sense that it's going to overturn the terrible economic policies that are being posed by the troika it's getting people to feel that they can do something. with the tough economic times leaving many greeks
1:14 pm
feeling worthless there is real value in projects like the time bank the greek government drowning in debt these creative solutions are offering any support the encouragement to the people here which is a time of deep recession proving priceless commodity so i see athens but with the euphoria of the deal reached the brussels dying down the numbers are now being pored over by economists next puts a trance if you add up one of them is artist who believes nothing's changed you still fighting debt. the plan is to create a one trillion euro slush fund and not write off fifty percent of greek debts that misperception is simply going to move 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
1:15 pm
terrorists run the world economy they're doing a fantastic job give them more weapons of mass financial destruction for that it's absurd you're guaranteeing pullover financial catastrophe by letting these charlatans pose these theories that adding debt to a debt problem is going to increase stability that's in c. . in some herbal karmas pill that will be a cause the report has the deep debt load down at nineteen thirty g.m.t. here on it later tonight. press questions broke down in new york during in st barts followed by arrests several hundred people marched in support of activists in oakland california who suffered a riot police crackdown earlier when a court nies in new york for us with the latest. at least five hundred out of occupy wall street were walking through a lower manhattan to show their solidarity with the protesters from oakland
