libya's rebel forces have stormed colonel gadhafi compound in tripoli and once again claim to have control of the city but that he vows to fight to the death. should be. children and think that these rebels are these nice little folks who want democracy and freedom and mcdonalds and experts warn of a new struggle for power that might emerge between the rebels one cut off his regime is toppled. a major breakthrough in a holocaust a case of former senior police official is held in suspicion of masterminding the murder of a prominent russian journalist five years ago. and a leader of the world's most close state comes out into the open north korea's kim

jong il visits russia for the first on almost a decade. eight am in the russian capital you're watching r.t.m. marina josh welcome to the program that rebels have stormed and luda turlock an obvious compound in tripoli after three days of fighting in the libyan capital here's how it happened. oh. oh. oh just killed i'm so jealous of the. thank you but. meanwhile the location of khadafi himself is still not know the recent radio address he said that he's retreat from the compound was a tactical move and promised just. to the death some broken down forces continue

their armed resistance with reports suggesting they're attacking the town of a lot west of tripoli with missiles and tanks journalist richard spencer says that even if the rebels take control of the country the civil war he said. i think would be us is accomplish is to establish a coming civil war in libya which we have financed we will be a we will have trained number of the people who will be chilling one another. children and think that these rebels are these nice little folks who want democracy and freedom and mcdonald's this is clearly a chance for them to our for them maybe get. revenge against north enemy but mean we put them to be in control and they're going to be fighting with each other. for the next months and years. now what we're asking why you think awaits the gays the rebels assume power. you think it will be nothing more than just an oil rich colony

for nato members around fifty or the country will be torn apart by the power struggle sixty percent think that little will change with one dictatorship swath or another and only four percent as you can see things that the rebels will preside over a democratic state and you can also have your say on this issue by logging on to our website is r t dot com. well the rebels were only able to enter tripoli after a huge help from nato including our bombing campaign in the country lasting five months brian becker from the anti war coalition and sirte says the cleric humanitarian reasons for the intervention had nothing to do with its relying. whenever the united states or britain or france the colonizers enslavers of africa intervene in africa or the middle east or anywhere they assign their mission a noble cause to protect freedom to protect democracy to protect civilians in the case of resolution one thousand nine hundred three but this is

a longstanding policy of the u.s. government to overthrow the government of libya the country that possesses as you've said before the largest oil reserves in all about africa it has nothing to do with human rights and in france when you bomb of tripoli when you drop seven thousand five hundred bombs and missiles on a country a country that did nothing to the american people that's an act of aggression that's a war crime that's a crime against humanity that's the complete opposite of the friends of human rights. germany london based activist fran to stop of work at least the majority of living in the west to tell them not to do. we have to remember we've been here before we've been here before with afghanistan we've been there before with iraq and i think the lesson from both of those and actually the message there is even coming from many of the rebels in tripoli and elsewhere in the player is that they don't want nato there any more they don't want western troops on the ground and they want to run their own country and i think it would be very foolish for david

cameron or anybody else to believe this really vindicates their foreign policy in terms of the war on terror this town's. bringing to mind some of the warring ways in which these things are being used i personally think the intervention of the international criminal court. the idea of a control i feel his family is. also this is yet another sign of western talk you see when we have to supposed to only play and various other people responsible for being disastrous episode in iraq in particular who wanted to i think in this war if there is evidence they should they should be dealt with in libya or not in the hague or anywhere else. french oil companies are likely to be among those who would have enjoyed the pictures coming in from aaa last night help for a look at it well contracts with a new government in libya are certainly high but as are tuesday all bushel reports

are constantly drenching and the unknown agenda of the rebels but mean more losses and gains. frauds feels like a winner as the first power to recognize libya's rebels the first to will become free and now the first in talks with rebel leaders storm is the allergy pace's victory gives him great satisfaction or position in p.j. laying off everyone to be thankful that inspired action at the united nations corporations in states that voted for u.n. intervention of rubbing their hands one of the first members of the french team. to march as a representative of the different or company. is not. french all drawn towards whole has been named business was big enough rubble all for a go through the lot brazil russia and china for quote political issues there are

three states who refused from sanctions against gadhafi those nations had contracts with the former regime a russian official says quote we've lost libya completely it is well known that it is or will fall that these so-called position government has promised to give the old two false fronts officially claims its war mission is over but analysts tippit to secretly stay you'll be in libya make sure it profits and only when chile was is. present in libya even the. resolution it's going to answer yes but keeping troops in the country means heavy costs. latest polls say most french people now oppose the military intervention this in p.c.'s further bloodshed and the hefty price tag to deal with it now reports that yes with lehman like the war

is far from over and this invasion is already costing much more than we could back see is a growing that libya's new leaders a to do good it's a win the peace. points to the rebels murder last months of a military chief general yunis expose was widespread rebel looting and executions beachfronts these problems they have only just begun the new bushel altie paris let's get some more analysis of what the future leaders look like ian shapira professor of political science at yale university thinks a high number of former gadhafi officials among the rebel leadership raises doubts over whether and new regime will be any different from the old one we know very little about the agenda the forces that are coming to power after all mustafa. was a justice minister in cut off he's. real was the head of the economic development council in the regime and. as far we were slaves libya's ambassador to india

for the gadhafi regime these are the real leaders of the national transitional council they're certainly known have any history as democrats you know they've been associated with the gadhafi regime for a very long time. r.t. has also spoken to abdel bari atwan who added center arabic newspaper based in london and he sings colonel gadhafi will definitely trial but the question is whether the rebels will be able to govern the country. and state like that happen in afghanistan nobody can predict what. we know about who would be moved from power because he might actually pipe and he hasn't called back up abilities but the big question is you know what that position the council will be able to first paint. divisions it's

said whether it is capable to run the country and to keep as a united states. what you are to live from moscow to other news now a former t.v. witness in the case of murdered russian journalist anna politkovskaya has been arrested or retired senior police official has fallen under suspicion himself for organizing the crime are spear all over joins us now with the latest posted here so tell us what we know about this man just arrested in connection with the case. dmitri chen called this former senior russian police officer is now being detained by police are questioning over his role in his possible role in the in the slaying of on a protocol sky the nobody has yet to a journalist killed in two thousand and six now but he had been a key witness one of the main witnesses for the prosecution and the trial into the

into the killers in chief thousand and six and two thousand and eight however he was called to moscow police station early yesterday yesterday and then following questioning by officers there detained he had it is pretty. testimony said that he had overheard the plotters balkanizing. how they were going to how do you going to kill mr pollack or scare he's been detained for saying that he was actually the ringleader organizing those people together and allowing them to an inviting them with the logistics that allowed them to carry out a murder all the murder on an appellate court so he remains in custody at the moment now the family and friends in anna politkovskaya have welcomed the arrest of public change of saying that he was somebody that from the start they thought had more to do with the slaying of the not

a journalist previously being said by him. dearest sigman was a prosecution witness in the case as far as i understand had been misleading investigators and a very clever one for a long time contending to be an important source of information about the murder we in the prosecutors have doubts he was sincere but there was not enough evidence now prosecutors have enough evidence also quick to point over because after the show this man was linked to poor guy was murder. here what are the chances of this arrest helping to draw the investigation to a close well it has been a long and drawn out process was gunned down in the stairwell of a moscow apartment in october of two thousand and six and we're now in two thousand and eleven with the one trial already behind us not resulting in any any major discoveries in finding out who is behind this killing but we are seeing steps

coming forward in may of this year. was arrested in chechnya now he's charged of being the man who pulled the trigger which killed anna politkovskaya. and now we've seen dmitri published chain call for being a being charge being questioned over being a ringleader organizing the plotters as they tried to but as they planned the murder of pollock this is just these are steps forward to surely be some type of light relief for the family of pollock of sky as well as her colleagues as well the people who knew her well. they will take these are stepping stones to hopefully find out who was ultimately behind all during the murder back in two thousand and six so things are progressing as we've seen and this in the last year we've seen two major pieces of information come through the arrest of a now published chain called previously been thought to be a key witness for the prosecution a key source of information for prosecutors facing self standing on the other side

of the court. ok peter thanks very much indeed for bringing us the details here all over it here reporting from moscow. came here and l. is visiting russia for the first time in nine years and usually open foreign visit for the north korean leader and storing country on his arm or a train was tight security involving dozens of guards and meeting was president at the end of an russia's republic of korea is scheduled for later in the day i discussed. this. his usual atmosphere of secrecy has been kept up but not to the extent that it usually is most of the times we get to hear about his business post facto or even not at all this time we know when he crossed into russia we know where he's made stops what kind of people he's met and what he's done and we know that right now he is in the capital of the russian republic of we have to a long road there so this kind of thing has led many to speculate that the subject

matters that will be discussed during the meeting between the leaders of north korea and russia is definitely going to be attention worthy and most likely it will be focused on the six party talks now forced korea withdrew from the six party talks which included north korea south korea russia trying a new u.s. and japan and continued with its nuclear experiments defiant in its continuation of its nuclear program that of course caused outrage within the six party community but also within the international community so the fact that the russian president is meeting with his north korean counterpart and that visit is being publicized in the media definitely leads many to believe that korea is preparing some sort of statement on but of course it's not the only subject matter that is likely to arise during the discussions various economic debates are also balance to make their way

on to the table. trilateral trade with russia south and north korea and also bilateral trade relations and north korea exported six million dollars worth of goods to russia in two thousand and eleven alone so definitely a lot of things on the agenda and the very usually secretive north korean leader has a lowered the veil of secrecy for this visit so everyone here is very eager to find out exactly what is going to be said that's mean as our reporting there always. log onto our t. dot com you can find out how the north korean leader has been spending time in russia had of the key meeting this includes a relaxing day at the world's deepest lake by call and taking a dip at its waters or on our website our team. after months of scandalous headlines and slanderous whispers criminal charges

against dominique strauss kahn have been dropped the former head of the i math was accused of sexually assaulting a hotel maid in new york. brings us the latest. a manhattan supreme court judge delivered that ruling on tuesday after prosecutors in the case say that the accuser nafissatou diallo has not been truthful on all matters a great and small now however this ruling delivered by the judge is on hold pending an appeal by mr gallo the accuser now in his first public statement since being arrested on may fourteenth dominique strauss kahn says that in the past months have been a nightmare for him and his family and they are looking forward to returning to france dominic strauss kahn was arrested on may fourteenth shortly after paraded in front of news cameras by the new york city police department at that point he was essentially vilified by most mainstream media outlets and found guilty in the court

of public opinion now the new york media turned this criminal investigation into somewhat of a surface because many of the new york new york city newspaper headlines refer to dominique strauss kahn as a frog wanting to refer to him as happy look hugh and they also refer to him as a womanizer now this of course ruin the reputation for this french politician he was considered a contender for the next presidential race in france but his basically his reputation was ruined before he was convicted at all he lost his job as head of the international monetary fund and there was a lot of a lot of comments and negative press that preceded after his arrest. there professor roberts iran's cue from the university of houston told us earlier the only side vindicated in this case is the u.s.

prosecutor's office. i see bestows just the latest the latest chapter on the probable i think the next trust can and there's nothing surprising about what happened or what may have happened in the hotel room more than two months ago i've always been a big fan of the simplest explanation for any particular problem and in the case of dominic strauss kahn one doesn't need a conspiracy theory one doesn't need to look to political machinations on other side of the atlantic to explain what has happened what happened is what happened the people in his past and she has always admitted that there was a sexual encounter or his lawyers had admitted that there was a sexual encounter what remains up in the air is the nature of this encounter was a consensual it wasn't forced if it vindicates anybody in this affair a very sad affair it's the new york our prosecutor's office they have the courage to do one hundred eighty degrees on dear original findings they thought they had

a credible case but in the wake of intensive investigation they realized that their plaintive in the only witnesses to this alleged crime was not credible. let's have a look at some other international headlines now the un is ramping up right here on syria due to the ongoing crackdown on protesters there in the world and the us have paragraphed security council resolution to impose an arms embargo and other sanctions against president bashar asad in the rank human rights council puts the number of dead at around two thousand two hundred and ordered an investigation into the actions of syrian security forces meanwhile a group of syrian opposition members has been holding meetings in turkey to try and form a national council. the of. though that. one of the strongest earthquake song records shaking the east coast of

the united states the tremor has forced the evacuation of parts of washington including the white house and pentagon the quake was also felt in new york and office workers at aleve buildings officials say several people have been injured and many buildings damaged. while the brings us up to date here now to remember you can always find more now web site r.t.l. com follow us on our web site facebook and twitter pages for that i was take a look at what's happening in the world of business with. hello and a very warm welcome to the program the scramble to gain access to libya's oil has kicked off although the fighting is not over rebels hailing fans of the gadhafi regime warn russian firms may lose leak or to well contracts however analysts believe libya will not be able to afford this the point there is that any

government in libya will need money as soon as possible you know for for the contrary restoration for feeding the people he's so they will welcome any investments for basically the source for the budgeting for a new budget for all of the countries well yes so basically i think the any company especially the ones that already have been there will be welcome there. well that's always has been the best month of golden twelve years is jumped almost seventeen percent in the last three weeks and then certain to out economic prospects in europe and america the market is waiting for a key news conference in the us to hear more about further stimulus measures or if you want to hear from plan says the current rally in precious metals reflects investor perception but the new round of budget printing is unavoidable if one looks at the sequence of events central banks need to do they are in

effect dry in terms of the quickly so the all only option they have less to do and more the round of quantitative easing you can see that the market is forecasting quantitative easing so the price of gold seems to be here in two or some thousand or beyond. all that high price in gold is just people trying to prepare their currency for money for a good move with a quantitative easing wall will go up silver is going on oriel stop falling m l seems to be one thing to go or so everything will go up really but just the dollar will buy less than they used. meanwhile you're a split on whether issue your balance will help solve or ease the e.u.'s debt problems turn monday at a pretty believes this solution will only give markets brief response right the short term resolution of the euro euro zone or euro right bond issuance is quite

a nice way of getting these countries to bring the monetary policy in line but it won't be the end of the day you know it still means that essentially you know it's the germans and the french that underwriting the risk management of that was maintained by the greeks in particular and also those islands in the and the spanish and the produce so it's no wonder the germans and the french are not willing to go down the line. because the main structural issue has yet to be resolved the market still has to price the potential default in euro zone markets and a potential for the weakening of the of the euro note from for investors in countries like russia which will commodities exporters the implication is that for sort of a stronger dollar because the dollar despite the dying breed from the us and of u.s. debt is still still the currency of choice. let's take a look at the figures oil prices the flight to positive after seeing some gains and previous sessions investors still pinoy on situation in libya right now the w.
