Reuters - Britain hopes for international agreement in the coming week on setting up a fund to help
"Libya's rebel-held east, foreign secretary William Hague has said."
"The fund is aimed at helping the rebel's interim national council help pay public sector salaries and with other costs."
"In the coming week, we hope to agree internationally the process for establishing a temporary financial mechanism to provide a transparent structure for international financial support for the financial requirements of the (national council) such as public sector pay," Hague said."
"Russian prime minister Vladimir Putin has criticised the NATO-led airstrikes in Libya, saying attacks on Muammar Gaddafi's palaces suggest the aim is to kill the Libyan leader."
"During a visit to Denmark, Putin asked "Who gave themselves the right to sentence someone to death, regardless what kind of person he is?""
"He said the nations taking part in the NATO-led operations had strayed from the UN mandate to enforce a no-fly zone and protect civilians."
"Said Putin: "They say, 'No, we don't want to destroy him.' Then why bomb the palaces? Is that how they drive out the mice?''"

In short, Britain wants to set up a fund to help the rebels pay public sector costs and to help become independent. And Vladimir Putin is critizising the UN for trying to bomb gaddafi
