here was a member of the national transitional council being promised further support. let us hear from the british prime minister, david cameron. >> nato continue to implement the security resolutions for as long as we are needed to protect civilian life. the nations here today have pledged a commitment to international law, justice, and accountability. freedom in tripoli is bringing to light evidence of unspeakable crimes. >> the other thing which was said again and again today, and i think the message is going out that this is not the same as iraq or afghanistan -- this was a libyan-led revolution. there may have been nato planes in the air, but it was libyans on the ground. there were also pleased from the leaders of the national transitional council for further assistance. we know they need assistance for basic humanitarian help in the short term, and the longer-term task of rebuilding a society that has not been used to things about political parties. the leader pledged that when the time comes there will be no retribution. >> you have seen how gaddafi set revolut

back in may russia recognized the national transitional council as a legitimate party to the talks recently the russian president said that russia might recognize the in your thirty's as long as they can unite the country based on democratic principles despite the dramatic events in libya can we say that russia's position on libya has seen some adjustments over the past six months. perhaps is not such a good idea to start my answer with the word no it's still the answer is no opposition on the libyan political crisis has remained unchanged from the start in february we believe strongly that everything that has happened in libya is a political crisis which must be resolved naturally through political negotiation and consultation you can't resolve a crisis like this with military rules we said this when gadhafi issued his criminal orders to bomb the peaceful demonstration of those who opposed his regime and we said the same thing when a coalition started bombing tripoli we say the same thing today when the rebels have achieved serious military success we said of the libyan political crisis wi

you know the fear that still exists on both sides and also your take on the national transitional council. and to what extent do you think they are a unified front. and you're absolutely right the timing of this space it is very strange because it looks like. a leader is came to tripoli to leave here to take part in celebrations of the rebels while fighting is still continuing and people are still dying from both sides as huge as sad indeed but. even more interesting is that not only throughout lead here they still remain pockets of. loyalists but here in tripoli in the capital this city looks pretty much divided right now we've seen many people all way have been business you fly isn't carrying banners thank you so because you thank you france thank you britain for words what you've done. as a dictatorship but the ras still areas in tripoli where people like row police of cotton could are free and be safe they don't trust the rebels because they don't know them and the see them as those who just want to share. is all. so situation even here in tripoli is very complicated and that's why so

see the national transitional council the new prime minister. is accused by some of his rivals of bringing in a form a get out the officials and from some source is within the country acting like a dictator so how much support and credibility does his leadership have this new leadership that was swept to power by the libyans themselves. yes you're asking that question i'm sure in an ironic tone they were not brought to power by the libyans themselves they were brought to power by certain segments of libyan society a society which of course is largely a tribe also people will have fought along tribal lines but most of all they were brought to power by nato bombs by british and french planes and by british and french covert operations with the participation of the americans and the fact that this or that new libyan politician is accused of mr meters or dictatorship or collaborating with the old regime is ultimately of no importance we saw similar accusations brought against various members of the iraq government the post saddam iraq government in

is national transitional council. the united nations. reports now on the first steps to rebuilding the country. one of the things that the new resolution envisions is a special u.n. support mission in libya that will be set up for an initial three months to help in what the climate insists is essentially a political operation it would give advice on restoring security but would concentrate on efforts to undertake inclusive political dialogue promote national recalls alleviation and generally help the government in libya organize elections and write a new constitution and that kind of u.n. participation is welcomed by all members this is something that washes and going to the united nations was talking about saying it's a u.n. responsibility to help create some kind of a law and order system that would put an end to the chaos there as a result of the failure to properly implemented previous u.n. resolution aiming at protecting civilians the country found itself in a full scale civil war with civilians suffering most also the resolution ex

kidnapping it's virtually powerless the people increasingly doing the killing are national transitional council forces together with nato as they attack leaves and other gadhafi strongholds on that cameron and sarkozy are silent to paraphrase george orwell in animal farm some civilians are more equal than others nato insists they're targeted attacks but there are reports of m.t.c. reprisals against suppose it could be supporters really there are real problems on the ground the legacy of such a conflict will have human rights abuses on both sides i think the rebels the national transitional council have promised to hold their own forces to account and i think that is a process that we will see from now it doesn't seem to be happening yet the african union edges the transitional forces are hunting down and killing black africans on the assumption that gadhafi recruited them as mercenaries. that's borne out by reports by amnesty international which that is the rebels are guilty of unlawful killings and torture it takes pains to point out that kids afy forces committed some terrible atrocities but

the rebels were out celebrating again this week when they had of the national transitional council leave his new authority to rise in the capital before large crowds even libyans in no doubt about who's ruling out. those who don't support mr fogg those only and who we used to see all across the city proudly waving green flags just weeks ago thanking khadafi now trying not to leave their own backyards here their prayers there are. shared. with many. feel very. tough it is effectively gone then you all sources have settled down here in the capital tripoli people are chanting that is here free country but it seems that there is at least one thing that still remain. all the. fear. one youngster finally agrees to talk about tripoli is now under the control of the national transitional council and we don't feel we have freedom to talk or to express an opinion. in favor of gadhafi they can kill us and the rest of us of course only are not tired of. them the nineteen year old says many of his friends have been arrested recently for making critical statements about new regime ironically we're tal

the transition council wants stability. ghadaffi will be a major headache. >> i spoke to you four weeks ago regarding your family in bengazi. a lot has changed. how do you see them, the n.t.c., placed to push stability for libya's future. >> they are working hard. they are made up -- mostly from individuals from the east. and the east is very stable. they will open next month in october. following soon after. the east is much more stable than the west. there is the tribal structure, much more unified. this is in the west. the problem is to convince the west we are working with you. this is very good, indeed. it is good to incorporate the west. >> on the line from san antonio. there are fresh allegations about the release of the lockerbie bomber. the former libyan foreign minister says the release was linked with a contract for bp and the british government. they are asking to film him for the state of his health. >> he seems to be reaching the end of his life. his mother is with him most of the time. his release from prison

national transitional council will also have to work with other countries not just those who help and. libya won't be able to keep in line with the interest of just the european union or the united states or the state of the persian gulf russia will always have its place in most varied and color picture those who think that the notion of russian friendship is outdated and is passing away with a totalitarian regimes and dictatorships are bitterly mistaken nothing of the kind i believe at the turn of russian arab friendship and partnership are as up to date as they used to be fifty years ago. russia has recognized libya's national transitional council as the official government of libya for minister sergey lavrov said that russia never approved of it always said that he should go but the principles of international norms have been ignored by nato aggression in that country exactly what he had to say. russia has never approved of the former libyan regime back in may president advantage clearly stated that the data should go that the way the united nations resolutions were implemented by

the head of libya's national transitional council appears in the capital to outline plans for the future. an explosion is leaking fuel in the pipeline in kenya's capital claims more than 120 lives. >> fresh fears for the global economy. markets are volatile amid concerns that greece will default on its debt. surviving japan's tsunami. we talk to some of those left behind after the world they knew washed away. it is 9:00 a.m. here in singapore. >> and 2:00 a.m. here in london, br pbs in america and around the world, this is "news day." >> hello, and welcome. the head of libya's transitional government has told thousands of supporters that the country will avoid extremist ideology and promote moderate islam. mustafa abdul jalil was delivering his first public speech since arriving in tripoli at the same spot previously used by colonel gaddafi. >> they came in their thousands to tripoli's marta square where colonel gaddafi used to give some of his speeches. now there's a new leader, mustafa abdul jalil, laying out his plans for the country. there was heavy security, a reminder that libya's

and that is perhaps one of his strongest weapons to undermine the national transitional council. hundreds of miles south of here in the desert are the wells, hundreds of wells that are used to sort of feed water into this city. this city normally uses 4 1/2 million liters of water a day, a massive amount of water. and right now 60% of the city is cut off. so hey, what he is doing by cutting that water off and that's the assessment of the national transition council, the european union, is using that water as a weapon of war to undermine morale in the city and undermine the national transitional council, trying to form a government. he's said that they have 20,000 men with weapons in sirte. i don't think anyone in their right mind believes that, either. do they have weapons like mustard gas sunny think most people think probably not. it's an open question. but they also think that he would have used them already. a lot of the key oil faciliti are on the coast here. the rebels control them already. could gadhafi's loyalists damage oil fields further south in the country? there's a

situation like this but i do think that there is an awareness on the part of the national transitional council as well as nato that they don't want to repeat of what happened in baghdad where the americans failed to provide basic security if you're not law and order you really don't have much of anything at all and democracy and freedom don't need much and i don't have a good chance of taking root as we've seen in iraq let's talk about the oil controversy and i mean the rebels are said to be providing countries like france and italy with lucrative oil contracts and this is fair payback as not for nato help in getting rid of gadhafi. well it's certainly the way that the world works whether it's fair is another question entirely i guess if i were a libyan citizen i would want the deals to go to the highest bidder and i would want it to be as transparent as possible but that's probably unrealistic at this point with a little unseemly is how quickly it is these deals are being made but you know the government hasn't really taken root yet and they're already cutting these deals a little fast but th

he's now close to death and living in tripoli and the national transitional council says that's where he stays the other signals are that they're talking about yes it would be nice to have u.n. help preparing for elections but no we don't want international observers there drawing the line where they think it should be drawn between what's their business and what international help is useful for this is a good thing to thing i think it's essential for the survival of the next new libyan government that they be seem to be more libyan than a tool of the west to the west realize that you think it how dangerous is this kind of scramble for influence it's a good question do western players realize that they are a kind of liability i think only with difficulty they realize this they assume that they've got the best interests of not only themselves but libyans to heart and it can be an amicable mutually beneficial understanding reached but yeah they talk about democracy in a way that suggests they can only see the western version the british government certainly has been very keen to stress

transitional council. >> while the forces of the national transitional council are moving forward on the ground in their effort to control all of libya, their diplomatic forces have made advances also per. the first was the recognition of the u.n. general assembly of their right to represent at the united nations. neighboring egypt led the call for the resolution to be accepted. >> arguing against that would only prolong the suffering of the libyan people and delay in achieving justice, particularly the 90-member states of the united nations have recognized the libyan national transitional council as the only representative of the libyan people. >> shortly after the jubilant visit by several world leaders, the resolution was always expected to pass. for the transitional council, it marks another important step towards their aim of full recognition by the international community. >> the general assembly is setting. >> it was far from unanimous. a block of latin american nations oppose the move, led by venezuela, whose president, hugo chavez, is an ally of colonel gaddafi. >> we do not
