first time in almost a decade. it's . nine am in the russian capital you're watching are. you walk into the program rebels have stormed and loser colonel gadhafi compound in tripoli after three days of fighting in the libyan capital here's how it happened i was like i. hope. this happened i. was like oh my goodness you know i have just been. killed. most of the back of. it while they should have killed himself it's still not now and listen to radio address and said that he's

been treated from the compound was a tactical move and promised to fight to the death some progress forces continue their armed resistance with reports suggesting they're attacking the town of aijalon west of tripoli with missiles and tanks journalist richard spencer says that even if the rebels take control of the country civil war is imminent i think would be us has accomplished is to establish a coming civil war in libya which we have financed we will be we will have trained a number of the people who will be killing one another. children and think these rebels are these nice little folks who want democracy and freedom and. this is clearly a chance for them to keep our butt and maybe get it in action revenge against an old enemy but mean we could them to be in control and they're going to be fighting with each other for control of the next months and years. and there on our website

r t the dot com we are conducting a poll and asking what you think of weight if the rebels powerless now take a look at the side. well most of you think it will be nothing more than just and will reach colony for a needle members around to face the country will be torn apart by a power struggle sixteen percent think that little will change with blind dictatorship swapped for another and as you can see only four percent think that the rebels will preside over a democratic state so we can have your say on this issue at our website r.t. dot com. the rebels were only able to enter tripoli after a huge help from nato including a bombing campaign in the country lasting five months brian becker from the ants a work holy shit answer says the declared humanitarian reasons for the intervention had nothing to do with its real aim whenever the united states or britain or france

the colonizers and slay was of africa intervene in africa or the middle east or anywhere they assigned 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 it has nothing to do with human rights and in fact when you bomb of tripoli when you drop seven thousand five hundred bombs and missiles on a country a country that did nothing to be american people that's an act of aggression that's a war crime that's a crime against humanity it's the complete opposite of defense of human rights meanwhile inzy german a london based activist from start the war coalition believes the majority of libyans don't want the west to tell them what to do. we have to remember we've been here before we've been here before with afghanistan been there before with iraq and i think the lesson from both of those and that actually the message that is even

coming from many of the rebels in tripoli and elsewhere in libya 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. going to mine some of the worrying ways in which these things are being used i personally think the intervention of the international criminal court. the idea that they control i could ask in his family as war criminals is yet another sign of western hypocrisy when we have to suppose tony blair and various other people responsible for the disastrous episode in iraq in particular who wanted to i think in this wire if there is evidence to montreal they should they should be dealt with in libya and not in the hague or anywhere else.

thank you all companies are likely to be among those who would have enjoyed the pictures coming in from tripoli last night hopes for a look or to the oil contracts with a new government in libya are certainly high i desire to use daniel bushell reports the cost of intervention and the n.o.a.a. janda the rebels could mean more losses and gains. frauds feels like a winner was the first power to recognize libya's rebels the first to well become tree 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 or rubbing their hands one of the first. members of the french team.

was a representative of the different companies and that is not very far from the french all drug tal has been named as this war will not rebel or go through the not brazil russia and china political issues there are three states and refuse from sanctions against gadhafi those nations have contracts with the former regime of 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 from france officially claims its war mission is over but analysts tippit to secretly stay all the libya make sure it profits only maintaining forces. presence in libya even though it's not resolution it's going to answer yes but keeping troops in the country means his. because straggled latest polls say

most french people now opposed the military intervention this in pieces for the bloodshed and the hefty price tag to deal with it and i was repulsed by that guess what human was the war is far from over and this invasion is already costing much more than we can. see is a growing that libya's new leaders to do when the peace. points to the ripples move the last months of the military chief general yunis experts warn widespread rebel looting and executions beat france's problems they have only just begun the new push to see paris well let's get some more analysis of what if you truly mia could look like an shapiro professor of political science at yale university thinks the high number of former khadafi officials among the rebel leadership raises doubts over whether a new regime will be any different from the old one we know very little about the

forces that are coming to power after all. was a justice minister in cut off these government gives real was head of the economic development council in the early cream and. 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 i want to add it's an arabic newspaper based in london he thinks colonel gadhafi will definitely fall but the question is whether the rebels will be able to govern the country. and leave you. could turn to offense that like what happened in afghanistan nobody can predict what will happen after that we know that he would be to move from power because he and i actually need to

use and he hasn't called a couple of things but the big question is you know whether that transitional council will be able first painting in the face of the visions in its second whether it is capable to run the country and to keep and leave the united states. to other news now a former key witness in the case of murdered russian journalist anna politkovskaya has been arrested retired senior police official has fallen under suspicion himself organizing the crime artist peter oliver joins us now with. her so what do we know about this man just arrested in connection with the case tells well dimitri public janko visit a retired former senior police officer here in russia a hard being a major witness for the prosecution in so you have those that for the prosecution

for those investigators looking into who killed on the protocol of sky the the famous journalist here in two thousand and six excuse me he had been a as a a major source of information for the prosecution saying that he had overheard those that are being included accused of plotting the death of a political sky as they were putting together that plan though he told this information to the courts in two thousand and seven at a first trial in to determine what happened for what caused the murder what led up to. the murder of anna politkovskaya he was asked to attend a moscow police station on tuesday for questioning about his role in the death after attending that questioning he was arrested by offices and remains in custody now being what he's being arrested for is police saying that he had eight and they believe that he had a role as being the organizer himself that he happened to be just overheard plans

he'd been the man in charge of putting together to be the only just takes it all pertaining weapons of tailing on a full of course and of course putting that weapon in the hands of the shooter who pulled the trigger killing here in october two thousand and six now the arrest of a public chink of his being greeted with them as good news by the friends and relatives and coworkers of all the no vehicles yet a journalist anna politkovskaya they saying that they had suspected all the time that public haven't been entirely truthful and that they see these arrests now as vindication for their lack of trust in him. i mean. spirited man was a prosecution witness in the case as far as i understand he had been misleading investigators very clever wife for a long time concerned him to be an important source of information about the murder we in the prosecutors have done so he was sincere but there was not enough evidence

now prosecutors have enough evidence also quick to point because after the show this man was. murdered. up here our what are the chances of this arrest helping to draw the investigation to a close well this investigation has been going on for a very long time october two thousand and six was the time when pollock was killed we know in two thousand and eleven but this has been a head investigation it is called the eye of the the whole world and of holocaust is a very well respected highly regarded journal. to bad maybe investigating civil rights abuses in chechnya she did make many enemies in that part of the world through her work and it has been widely believed that it is her work in chechnya that resulted in a murder here being pushed out on her and her eventual now we saw a trial in two thousand and seven it really didn't tell you too many least ends but

in this year in may the man who's accused of being the shooter the man who pulled the trigger killing out of holocaust sky as she entered her apartment building it up over two thousand and six he is now in custody awaiting trial i know to see that . they probably chink of a man who previously previously been a used by the prosecution he's now been seriously questioned about a role whether he was the man who provided all of the logistics would have put together these are the assassins into a team he's now in police custody but what they are looking for what they are still missing investigators still searching for whoever is at the top of this pyramid the person or persons who ordered the hits officially so they are still these are steps forward that we've seen over the past few months here in russia but still many much much work to be done to it through to find out who is at the top of the pyramid ordered the killing of journalist on the part of called sky. or piers he's very much for bringing us the details here all over morning there in moscow. java

stories now here on r.t. can yano is visiting russia for the first time in nine years and an unusually open foreign visit for the north korean leader is touring the country on his armor train with tight security involving dozens of guards well he's now meeting with president medvedev in russia's republic. as he's gotten as are going to visit. 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 back to him 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 what he's done and we know that right now he is in the capital of the russian republic of we have to along the bit so this kind of thing has led many to speculate that the subject matters not 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 and of course korea withdrew from the six party talks which include north korea south korea russia trying a new u.s. and japan and continued with its nuclear experiments beforehand 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 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 agree with russia south and north korea and also

bilateral trade relations with 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 because it is our wording there well if you. gone to our tea dot com our web site you can find out how the north korean leader has been spending time in russia had of the meeting this includes a relaxing day at the world's deepest leg by car and taking a dip in its waters i'll give my more i'm use visit our website that's our team dot com. after months of scandalous headlines and slanderous whispers criminal charges against dominique strauss 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 now facade to diyala has not been truthful on all matters great and small now however this ruling delivered by the judge is on hold pending an appeal by the accuser now in his first public statement since being arrested on may fourteenth dominic 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 a parade in front of news cameras by the new york city police department at that point he was essentially vilified by unknown most mainstream media outlets and found guilty in a quirk of public opinion now the new york media turned this criminal investigation

into somewhat of a circus because many of the new york new york city newspaper headlines refer to dominique strauss kahn as a frog wanted to refer to him as pepe le pew 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 vote comments and negative press that preceded after his arrest. very important reporting there and professor roberts around ski from the university of houston told us earlier that the only side vindicated in this case is the u.s. prosecutor's office. but i see this as just the latest the latest chapter.

in the probable life of don't nix trust canon are there is 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 don't nix transcon one doesn't need a conspiracy theory one doesn't need to look to political machinations are not the side of the atlantic to explain what has happened what happened is what's happening repeated of him is asked and he has always admitted that it was a sexual encounter or his lawyers have admitted that there was a sexual encounter what remains up in the year is the nature of this encounter was a consensual it wasn't forced and it vindicates anybody in this affair a very sad affair it's the new europe our prosecutor's office they had the courage to do a one hundred eighty degrees on their original findings they thought they had a credible case but in the wake of intensive investigation they realized that their

plaintive and the only witness to this alleged crime was not credible. take a look at some other stories from around the world and the un is ramping up its pressure on syria due to the ongoing crackdown protests there is zero zero and the u.s. have prepared a draft security council resolution to go sanctions against president bush on a loss of regime russia is against the move and says us it should be given an opportunity to carry out the reforms it started the un human rights council puts the number of data 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 meeting in turkey to try and form a national council. one of the strongest earthquakes on record has shaken the east coast of the united states the tremor has forced the evacuation of parts of washington including the white house and pentagon

a new project of the conference well i guess so basically i think any kompany especially the ones that already have been there will be welcome there. and it's always has been the best month for gold in twelve years it's jumped almost seventeen percent in the last three weeks and then certainty about economic prospects in europe and america and market is waiting for q news conference in the united states to hear more about further serious measures that georgia who have wanted back from plot says the contrary in precious metals and reflects investor perception that a new round of my printing is unavoidable if one looks at the sequence of events of what the central banks need to do they are in effect dry in terms of liquidity so the all only option they have left is to do another round of quantitative easing you can see that the market is forecasting that quantitative easing so the price of

gold seems to be here interest and thousand and beyond all that hype rising gold is just people trying to protect their currency from any for the illusion. easing gold will go up silver is going ot oriel stop falling and now seems to be one thing to war so everything will go really brought just a dollar will buy less than a used cork you want to pack meanwhile your split on whether issue new europe wants will help solve or even be a huge debt problems talking money out of pretty believes this solution will only give markets briefer spite. 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 their monetary policy in line but it won't be at the end of the day you know it still means that essentially now it's the germans and the french that underwriting the mismanagement of that was maintained by i think weeks in particular and or so times in the year and the

spanish and the g.'s so it's no wonder the germans and the french are not willing to go down that line. because the main structural issue has yet to be resolved the market still has to price the potential defaults in euro zone markets and a potential for the weakening of the euro note from for investors and countries like russia which is commodities exporters the implication is that for sort of a stronger dollar because the dollar despite the downgrade from the s. and p. of u.s. debt is still still the currency of choice. but take a look at the biggest oil prices a mixed after seeing some gains in previous sessions investors still keep an eye on the situation in libya right now the government here is trading at around eighty five point six dollars a barrel while the brand randi is that one hundred nine. precious metals acquiring the solid gold result under one percent after hitting another all

some incentive standard three are for capital but that's because most dissipating federal reserve chairman ben bernanke a statement later this week. mark you. in the big green cheer were accusing you know we've gone to expect any significant move both of the reasons the markets where you have been broken speech or brady you will want to see anything new in russian more if you steal the volume but no direction. russia's energy major gas probably spreading its wings and pouring out what's signed an agreement with. total all in both companies to use each other's sources for jet fuel supplies and still gives access to two hundred seventy airports and seventy countries in europe the pacific asia sorry africa and the middle east. and finally moscow is selling its sweetest stake in one of europe's biggest counter
