hello it's ten pm thursday night here in moscow right now you're watching t.v. my name is kevin and first no more war planes already 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 he's got a chance you can reports with the latest from washington d.c. . 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 for march now with russia's initiative the council has voted to and that mandate and complete nato operations by the end of october as we heard from marcia's and voyage to the united nations nato is expected to fully comply with the resolution we expect the nato council to act in accordance with this decision of the security council of the united nations and to suspend its
2:02 pm
operation at midnight. so we're told that indeed a new chapter is being opened in libya. and the libyan people will be able to take advantage of the new situation to build a new libya they desire the vote comes at a time when the head of libya's transitional government asks nato to prolong its air missions through this ember 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 libyan interim government's request for an extension u.n. diplomats here were saying this latest resolution lifts the no fly zone is an end of a phase that raises questions as to what the next phase will be the ground as we know for the nato mission in libya have kept changing throughout the whole campaign from
2:03 pm
stopping a potential mess a korean leader to killing qaddafi now nato has many times been accused of violating the u.n. mandate the announced goal was to protect civilians but scores of leading civilian diety nato strikes the country is a voice now it's also green with weapons which is of great concern and danger not only for the libyans but for the whole of the your national community and we know russia is now proposing a plan aimed at making good obvious military stockpiles secure a plan that will prevent help prevent the smuggling of libyan weapons because it's just too much of a danger and for more on that here's 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 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
2:04 pm
in the region which these weapons have been flooding libya and also libya is quite wild 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 if there is somebody who has worked and we ask him if he has a thursday show for this we are not. going to. 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
2:05 pm
thing that will make me ken is how to give back the weapons but we see something very different i ask this head commander what the plan is to disarm the population . i swear i don't know if you look. at the home. but at 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 you'll see twice as many firearms. so you know how many weapons there are in libya i too dislike to have to have been steadily yeah i think everybody have a weapon some think the front of arms in the country could spell disaster ahead in the vacuum after gadhafi impulse revolt chaos as groups fight out of this just
2:06 pm
battles of 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 mates or 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 but the gadhafi regime with many libyans not yet ready to say a farewell to arms the end to the sea which could only be gadhafi with nato how is now asking the alliance to continue its mission a vivid indication of just how unstable the country is and he's now a r t tripoli. so with libya declared liberated and nato order to move on a rocky path to stability still lies ahead human rights activists want to know
2:07 pm
whether the price the libyan people had to pay for a future without good afy is justified. it's a high human kolstad it's a high price but they need to or they didn't they don't take her with these things what's up in the dark with a bit of against what's going on in afghanistan these days and what's happened in libya it's an example of you know that there are medical care with the human situation where they are not taking care with their wife or the people i think it's a high price and the high cost and the consequences of that it will continue for so long that 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 the situation maybe will explode. libya i mean internally between the tribes between a different political groups. community. more about this big story on our
2:08 pm
website including the hunt for the remnants of gadhafi his regime their online site broken legs another critic injuries the country's ex-pro minister is fearing for his life he says the media is presenting his severe beating as an attempted suicide you're reading more about that you can mix it up to dot com tonight also the u.s. military machine may be moving out of iraq but still still be spooks in the shadows we report on why the cia is staying behind. european banks with greater write off fifty percent of the debt owed to them by greece it was decided during a merge and see somebody in brussels where your leaders made what many believe was the final attempt to save the eurozone the settlement was reportedly a close run thing though with the by a lobby holding out until german chancellor angela merkel threatened letting greece default the e.u. also promises to loan athens another one hundred billion euros for the ballooning bailout funds in line to expand to
2:09 pm
a trillion euros now and the task is of course to put all that in action but you know i ran over veldts who runs two of belgium's leading business magazines told me simply what's been achieved simply lacks any real sort of. it's just buying time this is really not the bazooka everybody has been asking for i would describe it as water this of course prevents for the moment that we really get to work kind of thing as collision of the greek debt level which is now growing in the direction of hundred and 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 that is for greece to leave the euro zone but that is a decision everybody's afraid of and what has for example not been discussed now but
2:10 pm
which is very much on the mind of several of the europe. 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. so europe's proposed bigger bailout pots going to need some extra foreign cash to top it up but the head of the fund is no jew to travel to china to try and attract some backing there but economists say the e.u. strongly get others to do what it should have sort of got itself plenty he'd hero in who's going to pay because you're talking about one trillion euros and this is a lot of money if i am have right now doesn't have that money and we are talking about leveraging the european financial stability fund to. countries like china. india even brazil to lend to d
2:11 pm
your peers ability to fund if you don't have money you can sell your s.s. to raise the money or prevent already some what china will do i think gave you a token amount of. your peers that believe the fund but it will be framed for playing a leading role because this is this is what do you hear leadership you have. even if the use of the crisis plan pays off help will still take a while of course to filter down to the ground in greece but some are finding their own ways to make it through right now is sarah firth reports for r.t. . 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 sometimes they give a painting lessons for free but they take your gun for free also somebody else at the time banks just one of
2:12 pm
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 social unity camp reeve extruding me hard price is a terrible thing it 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 its own bartie 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
2:13 pm
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 bars and networks this place is in the 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 economic situation is extremely uncertain. it's not to respond to. crisis in the sense that it's going to overturn the terrible economic policies that are being posed by the troika it's giving people to feel that they can do something
2:14 pm
. 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. with you for your over the deal's bridge to brussels dying down a bit now the numbers. con a mess of experts to see if they actually add up one of them is our. believes that nothing's changed surprise surprise they're 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 debts that misperception are simply going to move it around the fraudulent balance
2:15 pm
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 lobel financial catastrophe by letting these charlatans pose these theories that adding debt doing debt problem is going to increase stability that's insane what he said to get his message across to a coach who are the cause report he's got the debt load next here on out. more news now fresh clashes broke out in new york during onto wall street followed by a rest several hundred people marched in support of activists in oakland california who suffered a riot police crackdown early forty's when a poor across the story in new york. at least five hundred activists of occupy wall street were walking through
