day but libya's new leaders will do the mission extended to the end of the year he's got if 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 a 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 operation at midnight. so we're told. 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
4:02 pm
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 stopping a financial mess a korean leader to killing qaddafi nato has many times been accused of violating the u.n. mandate the announced goal was to protect civilians but scores of leading civilians died in nato strikes the country is in ruins now it's also brimming with weapons which is a. great concern and danger not only for the libyans but for the whole of the your
4:03 pm
national community and we know russia is now proposing a plan aimed at making could office military stockpiles secure a plan that will provide help prevent those smuggling those leading 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 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
4:04 pm
former rebels for security that would try to control the benz i mean if there is somebody who has worked and we ask him if he has a thursday show 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 pumps gadhafi of libya and its stability and now as you can see is being secured here everything is under control and the only word things that we will make some we can is a how to give back the weapons but we see something very different i asked this head commander what the plan is to disarm the population. i swear i don't know if you. see.
4:05 pm
that but at a makeshift arms collection center that covers one neighborhood in the capital we are shown this. to 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 the gear i tend to have instead of 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 road fault chaos as groups fight out of this just battles for 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 or actually either they've opportunistically used mater to
4:06 pm
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 with the gadhafi regime with many libyans not yet ready to say a farewell to arms the empty sea which could only be good daffy with nato how is now asking the alliance to continue its mission a vivid indication of just how unstable the country is and he said no way our teeth crippling but with libya declared liberated the nato order to move on a rocky path to stability still lies ahead he will rights activists want to know whether the price the libyan people have to pay for a future with gadhafi is justified. it's a high human cost and it's a high price but they need to. do they don't take. with these things what's been the iraq with the building of against what's been going on in afghanistan
4:07 pm
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 taken care of with the wife or 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's the case so this is what they call that a humanitarian intervention it's not even within the region completely it's against the human and the material has really a real concern there the situation may be will explode. libya i mean internally between the tribes between the different political groups. communities. on a website including the hunt for the remnants of gadhafi is regime broken legs other injuries we've got the story the country's acts prime minister saying that he's fearing for his life right now saying the media is presenting his severe beating as a suicide attempt but says the story isn't that if you want to find out more r.t.

4:14 pm
a kind of loosen a thing as collation 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 had 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 which is very much on the mind 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 with europe's proposed a bigger bailout potts going to need some foreign cash to top it up to the head of

4:16 pm
a leading role because this is this is what do you pay in leadership you have to. win even if the cross plan pays off help will still take a while of course to filter down to the ground in greece and some are trying to find their own way to make it through meantime as sarah first reports for this channel. 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's state in 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 or home cooked meals. for a country in crisis building social unity camp reeve extruding me hard price is
4:17 pm
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 to the bar to 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 and one town in greece is even started its own bharti currency it's huge huge everything we do without money like looking after people are making things by ourselves. nikki 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
4:18 pm
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 places in aladdin's cave of arts and materials and it's no wonder really that this idea of swapping gets in services has proven so popular it's building solidarity as a time when the economic situation is extremely uncertain. it's not a response to the economic 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 support 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 and with the greek government drowning in debt these creative solutions are offering all they need support but encouragement to the people here which at

a time of deep recession approving priceless commodities so i think athens. europe's financial woes are intensifying calls in the u.k. to leave the bloc next than are to expose the possibility of the very thing happening and indeed the future of europe the daily telegraph newspaper writer who's one of britain's most prominent political journalists and opinion formers.
4:20 pm
peter oborne chief political commentator for the daily telegraph and he just published a pamphlet entitled guilty men a term used to describe those trying to drag britain into the euro zone peter thanks for speaking to r.t. this term guilty man use a term used to describe in the 1940's those who appease the nazis are you seriously comparing brussels and the eurozone. to hitler's third reich that's not the comparison i'm making what that brilliant pamphlet short book my written by michael foot and what they were analyzing was the failure of policy in the one nine hundred thirty s. that's what it was about the policy of appeasement which led to the this moment here now what we have what we're trying to do in this part of that is to allies another failure of policy which is the attempt by the british governing elite to
4:21 pm
push britain into the your and. we they succeeded in that period we would now be in the same situation as greece absolutely destitute was certainly italy and spain were utterly dependent on the whim of the international markets and the benevolence of the i.m.f. and of the european union so who are these men and why are they guilty the guilty man i'm delighted to name them i think it's important that we do name them by arrangement tony blair the british prime minister time his close ally peter mandelson close friend of pascoe another russian oligarchs ken clarke michael heseltine the conservative. politicians nick clegg the deputy prime minister and danny alexander the show the chief sector of the treasury many of them retain unbelievably very powerful positions in the british ruling elite
4:22 pm
a decade ago euro skeptics were hounded out of plan society labelled xenophobes racists fascists was the effect on these people's lines it's very interesting just examine the sheer ruthlessness of the pro your movement at this time they were planning to hound out of jobs the people who were euro skeptics recently who was the policy director of the institute of directors a key. business organization. and took she took an anti euro she ended up losing her job and the. stories were spread that she was mad dislocated and they were tough they were ruthless the was a kind of bid for part of the supremes with top of the british establishment and the ideology of that was was was the european union and the euro captured the new labor party at the time it captured the lib dems at the time british foreign office
4:23 pm
was a major manifestation of this dogmatism disgracefully so the treasury of course did hold and gordon brown not publicly but behind the scenes did work to block block the euro what would you say is the most sinister aspect of brussels rise to power. it's in many ways the your opinion is such a fast competent organization that it's quite hard to take it seriously if you can't get its accounts. can't. it's sort of fantastically retain ian it's sort of. so on the other hand there is a ruthlessness to it and if you have a any sense of humanity or any sense of compassion what is happening with the euro now which is the imposition of a very dogmatic monetary policy on a whole set of diverse nations is it's horrific i mean the destruction of the
4:24 pm
greek economy greek businesses the creation of mass and unemployment in greece. is really horrendous and it comes from the dogma you have to have a single currency and a single monetary policy and i think economic policy across a very diverse continent germany's just deepened exposure to euro zone losses even further and it seems like there's no turning back to they really think this is making economic sense here or is it more political face saving if you read the english mountain climbing guide mountain rescue it says turn back if conditions turn against you and your prize cross all sorts of things for intervention support generally. that piece of advice might well be useful to put afghanistan but it also applies i think to the euro zone i mean the euro zone was an experiment the skeptics advised against it. go ahead but it is
4:25 pm
not creating financial chaos it's creating the potential of a great financial cataclysm and it's also just wiping out industry it's across europe as an extraordinary pace of terrifying if the u.k. had joined the euro zone what would have happened would have been another greece i can tell you what would have happened if you carry a joint it would have been even worse because we. we had a boob site anyway it would be bigger in the first we've had a smallish interest rates would have been less than they were otherwise would have been the first half of free. the the first decade of the twenty first century and then they would have been higher than we want to go afterward so we deferred a bigger boom and we had a bigger bust we had we wouldn't have been able to pay our debts on the international markets we have now be we now be controlled by the i.m.f. or taking orders from the e.c.b.
4:26 pm
in and by the from brussels we would have lost the ability to control our economy we have lost our ability to project ourselves internationally it would have been a complete and total economic and political disaster if we had joined the euro ten years ago. thank you thank you very much. but i think. this is right for for australia i do want to tell you new zealand in the way i think you see that film on the screen if you want to have sex go and have sex.
