2:02 am
his second radio address in the space of twenty four hours he called on his supporters to cleanse the capitol claims that he's retreat from the compound was a tactical move and promised to fight to the death some broke out the forces continue their armed resistance with reports suggesting they're attacking the town of large lot west of tripoli with missiles and tanks journalist richard spencer says that even if the rebels take in troll the country civil war is imminent i think would be us accomplish is to establish a coming civil war in libya which we have financed we will be as we will have trained a number of the people who will be cheering one another. children and these rebels are these nice little folks who want democracy and freedom and donald this is clearly a chance for them to gain our bit and maybe get it in action revenge against all the enemy and we put them to be in control and they're going to be fighting with
2:03 am
each other. next months and years on our website we're asking why you think the way sleeve if the rebels assume power let's take a look at the site build their most of our viewers think it will be nothing more than just an oil rich colony for the you know members around this fear of the country will be torn apart by a power struggle sixteen percent think that little will change with one defeat or shift swaps for another and only four percent think that the rebels will preside over a democratic state but you can have your say on the issue of logging onto our web site our dot com where you think. the rebels were only able to and through tripoli after huge help from nato including a bombing campaign in the country lasting five months brian becker from the anti war coalition answer says the declared humanitarian reasons for the intervention have nothing to do with its real aim. whenever the united states or britain or
2:04 am
france the colonizers and enslavers of africa intervene in africa or the middle east or anywhere they assigned their mission a noble cause to protect freedom to protect democracy you can 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 fact when you bomb it's triply 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 work crime that's a crime against humanity that's the complete opposite of defense of human rights meanwhile lindsey german and london based activists from the stop the war coalition believes the majority of libyans don't fly the west to tell them what to do. we have to remember we've been here before we've been here before with afghanistan
2:05 am
we've been here 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 the here 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 have been used i personally think the intervention of the international criminal court. the idea of a control i could half 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
2:06 am
in libya and 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 tripoli last night hopes for a look pretty of oil contracts with a new government and levy are certainly high but it's artie's daniel bushell reports the cost of the intervention and the known agenda of the rebels could mean more losses and gains. fraud's feels like a widow was the first power to recognize libya's rebels the first to the country and now the first in talks with rebel leaders for ms the elegy pace's victory gives him great satisfaction opposition m.p. . every want to be thankful that inspired action at the united nations corporations in states that voted for you in its bid should a rubbing their hands one of the first members of the french team.
2:07 am
as a repair sensitive of the. company and the company is not very far from the french all drawn to toll has been named as this was big enough rubble all for a go through a lot brazil russia and china for quote political issues there are three states who refused strong sanctions against gadhafi those nations had 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 all bets these so-called position government has promised to give the old two from france officially claims its war mission is over but timeless tippett to secretly stay you'll be in libya make sure profits only when a chain forces. presence in libya even the. resolution it's going
2:08 am
to answer yes but keeping troops in the country. heavy cost strike all the latest polls say most french people now oppose the military intervention this in p.c.'s for the bloodshed and the hasty price tag to deal with it now the prospect you can guess what human was a war is far from over and this invasion is already costing much more and we can. see is a growing that libya's new leaders a to do so with the peace. points to the rebels' nurdle last months of the military chief general yunis exposed widespread rebel looting and executions be france's problems they have only just begun the new bushel altie paris as a levy on conflict continues or oil companies are waiting in the rings with a look really of oil contracts up for grabs all this is just you keeping an eye on that for us we're going to tell us there you are absolutely

2:10 am
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. he has also spoken to one who edits an arabic newspaper based in london he sings colonel gadhafi well definitely thought but the question is whether the rebels will be able to govern the country. could turn to i think state and i think i'm stunned nobody can predict what will happen that we knew about who would be to move from power because he and i actually need to this and he hasn't got a couple of things but the big question is you know with that position council when he first came. to. the disease it's that second with if he's capable to run back and think and to keep and leave yeah as

2:13 am
a public of sky to allow the assassin say no well hello whereabouts were where she was going to be a particular time and allowed them to. to carry out their crime you know the arrest of. the arrest of the still a police officer has led to many in the. campervan have friends or family to say that they take this is good news they have been wary about what he's been saying since the beginning and they say that his arrest now and the fact he will be charged later on today show that they were right to have their concerns about him. you know i mean before the arrest of man was a prosecution witness in the case as far as i understand he had been misleading investigators and a very clever lawyer for a long time consenting to be an important source of information about the murder we in the prosecutors have downs but he was sincere but it was not enough evidence now
2:14 am
prosecutors have enough evidence also quit to buy nobody because after the show this man was linked to political sky was murder. peter this has been l. long running process so can you take us through the main details of the investigation and how it's been progressing well this investigation has been going on for many years now tova two thousand and six was when a lot of holocaust was gunned down here in central moscow since then we we saw a trial in two thousand and seven that didn't call out with any major results but we have seen developments in this case in recent times is of course a case that has. drawn media attention from around the world on a pollock of sky just with it not because yet she was a very highly respected journalist and gained much praise and not just here in russia but around the world for her investigative work into human rights abuses in chechnya now she gained amongst some of the people she wrote about some some say
2:15 am
the enemies in the north caucasus area and it has always been assumed that it was somebody from the last part of the world this was behind her assassination now. just in may of this year the case today received a bit of a boost to investigators as the the man accused of being the gunman who called the trigger that fired the bullet that killed out of holocaust was arrested in a village in chechnya he was brought here to moscow where he's charged with a crime and remains in custody and now with this latest news that they have looks like we're going to see probably ten calls the former police officer as they say former witness for the prosecution being charged with having being the the older nicer of the killing and investigators saying that they now have information regarding to who is the kingpin the the or the name on behind altering the assassination that the investigation into who killed anna politkovskaya is progressing along and that we could see some major developments in this case in the
2:16 am
next few months and weeks all right here thank you very much indeed for bringing us the didn't hear all. from moscow. to other news now here on r t kenya is visiting russia for the first time in nine years in 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 he's now meeting with president medvedev in russia's republic of artie's country as are was following the 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 you know when you crossed into russia we know where he's made stops what kind of people he's met and what he's done 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
2:17 am
attention worthy and most likely it will be focused on the six party talks now of course korea withdrew from the six party talks which include north korea south korea russia china 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 but of course it's not the only subject matter that is likely to arise during the discussions various economic debates are also balanced and make their way onto the table. trilateral trade with russia south and north korea and also
2:18 am
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 here it is our reporting there well if you will volunteer web sites r.t. dot com you can find out how the north korean year has been. time in russia out of the key meeting at the sink there relaxing day of the world's deepest life i call taking idea this waters so you can buy more on his visit our website at our c.n.n. dot com. tell the stories now after months of scandalous headlines and slander is where spurs criminal charges against dominique strauss kahn have been dropped the former head of the i.m.f.

2:20 am
the court 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 of a lot of vote comments and negative press that preceded after his arrest. reporting there professor robert zaretsky from the university of houston told us earlier that the only side vindicated in this case is the u.s. prosecutor's office. i see this as just the latest the latest chapter.
2:21 am
in the private life of the next trust can an artist 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 is in 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 happened repeated of in his past and he has always admitted that there was a sexual encounter or his lives had been made or 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 in a case anybody in this affair a very sad affair it's the new europe prosecutor's office they have the courage to do one hundred eighty degrees on their original findings they thought they had
2:22 am

2:24 am
investments or basically the only source for the. new budget of the conference and well i guess so basically i think the any company especially the ones that already have been there will be welcomed. this has been the best known for gold in twelve years it's jumped almost seventeen percent in the last three weeks for me then certainty about economic prospects of europe and america the market is waiting for news conference in the us to hear more about further stimulus measures there and hear more into parker from plots says the current rally in precious metals reflects investor perception that a new round of money printing is unavoidable if one looks at the sequence of events of 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 more the round of

2:26 am
may have to go down that route you know there's no way that over the longer term countries like greece can continue to be sponsored by countries like germany in front so you are going to long term solution to be quite a complex one i'm getting there and so we see that there's a lot of a lot of uncertainty in markets and i have no idea or no way of pricing that. which brings us to the market's world prices a mix stop just seeing some gains in previous sessions investors are keeping an eye on the situation in libya right now it's trading at around eighty five point six dollars a barrel while the brant plant is that one hundred nine dollars and precious metals are also climbing this hour gold is up one percent after hitting another all time high of one thousand nine hundred dollars on tuesday. so it is what it's trading at almost forty two dollars per ounce. in days in asia and u.k. isn't the right just by strong cues from wall street that's after moody's cut
