is that he's arrest of a man suspected of we're going to ising the killing. it is one pm in the russian capital you're watching r t with me marina josh welcome to the program rebels have stormed download a colonel gadhafi compound in tripoli after three days of fighting in the libyan capital and here is how it happened. i was like oh my god i mean do that. but then then this thing having i found this i was like oh my goodness but i'm happy now i'm having this thing angry crowds vented their anger at the portraits in luxuries of the compound while the location of khadafi himself is still not known he made a second radio address in the space of twenty four hours calling on his supporters to cleanse the capital he claims that his return from the compound was

a tactical move and promised to fly to the day some proceed out the 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 as accomplish is to establish a coming civil war in libya which we have financed we will be and we will have trained a number of the people who will be killing one another we shouldn't be naive 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 gain power but it may be that in fact revenge against an old enemy but mainly for them to be in control and they're going to be fighting with each other for control for the next months in yours. well now website we're asking

their viewers why they think awaits libya if the rebels assume power let's take a look at the side so cold there while most of the viewers think it will be nothing more than just an oil rich colony for nato members around a fifth fear the country will be torn apart by a power struggle sixteen percent think that the little will change was one dictatorship swapped for and the other and only four percent the rebels will preside over a democratic state so you can have your say on this issue by logging on to our website which is our dot com. ted rall an american political cartoonist columnist and author says levy is likely to plunge into a long running civil war. it's a striking replay the two thousand and three. u.s. invasion of iraq when the united states told a dictator that effectively stifled this opposition and do you know what they would

be replacing him with we're seeing see an exact situation now we need to be an. international council it's a hodgepodge of groups to do that we are going to be in conflict with one another civil war is almost inevitable the war against libya you can see much more colonel gadhafi that is really really needed by president obama was kind of the british paper for a reason you know for a new show because it's the european boil companies that have the most at stake in libya so this is really more of a he arm you know you scratch my back in afghanistan and iraq some extent and so now i'm going to say that he did it looks like the europeans stand to gain most. of france has been one of the main advocates and participants of the nato military campaign in libya there are high hopes among french oil companies of winning lookers have contracts with the new government but as artie's daniel bushell reports the cost of the intervention and the end known agenda of the rebels could mean more losses than gains. feels like

a wind up as the first power to recognize libya's rebels the first to the country and now the first in talks with rebel leaders for minutes the island should pay says victory gives him great satisfaction opposition m.p. jag lang every want to be thankful that inspired action at the united nations corporations in states that voted for you an intervention of rubbing their hands one of the first. members of a french team. who. was a representative of. the french or a company and that is not very far from this of course. french all drawn towards hall has been named as this was big enough rubble of a go to brazil russia and china for quote political issues there are three states who refuse strong sanctions against gadhafi those nations had contracts with

the former regime the russian official says quote we've lost libya completely it is well known that it is a wall for all that these so-called position government has promised to give the all to france france officially claims its war mission is over but analysts tippit to secretly stay only in libya to make sure it profits france only maintaining forces. presence in libya even though the resolution. yes but keeping troops in the country means heavy costs drag on latest polls say most french people now oppose the military intervention this n.p.c.s. further bloodshed and the hefty price tag to deal with it now surpassed by the guess what he meant was the war is far from over and this invasion is already costing much more than we could back fears

a growing that libya's new leaders are too divided to win the peace. points to the rebels murder last month of the military chief general yunis experts warn widespread rebel looting and executions beat france's problems they have only just begun their new bushell r.t. paris. well the you asked britain and france are preparing a un resolution now will lift a fuel embargo on libya and allow the rebels to gain access to one hundred billion dollars of frozen assets meanwhile dmitri medvedev says russia will consider establishing diplomatic relations with the libyan rebels but only if they are able to unite the country the russian president also refused to write off colonel gadhafi saying he retained influence and military power. meanwhile in germany a london based activist from to stop 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 before with the stuff we've 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 there 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 food for david cameron or anybody else to believe this really vindicates their foreign policy in terms of the war on terror this does. bring to mind 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 control i mean his family is as war criminals is yet another saw in the western hypocrisy when we have tony blair and various other people responsible for the disastrous episode in iraq in particular

who wanted to i think in this war if there is evidence to montreal they should they should be dealt with in libya or not. or anywhere else. he has also spoken. here and it's an arabic newspaper based in london he sings colonel gadhafi will definitely fall but the question is whether the rebels will be able to govern the country. to a failed state like what happened in afghanistan nobody come pick up one after we know that he would be removed from power because he actually. has a good backup abilities but the big question is you know what the position of. the first. division and its second with if he's capable the country. to keep. the united states. watching r.t.

live from moscow north korea's leader has confirmed to russian officials he is ready to return to six party peace talks without any conditions kim yawn alle also said he'd consider implementing a moratorium on the production and testing of nuclear weapons falls he is meeting with president dmitry medvedev and russia's republic of british artist is there with the details so significant development there is so what further news can you bring us about this breakthrough. well it definitely is a breakthrough and there were several signs pointing to the possibility of such a breakthrough even when kim jong il began his journey usually the very secretive north korean leader travels completely incognito and the international community finds out about his travels post factum or even not at all list time the entire world knew as soon as kim jong il crossed the russian border on his specially

designed armored train and the rest of his visit was quite well publicized and that of course led many to speculate that the meeting also publicized with the russian president dmitry medvedev would bring about some definite breakthroughs and of course as russia is a member of the six party talks many thought that this would have something to do with the ongoing efforts to denuclearize the korean peninsula and indeed the north korean leader did say that north korea is prepared to return to the negotiating table to get back into the six party talks without any conditions but it will only reimpose its moratorium on production and testing of nuclear weapons once those six party talks begin and of course despite the fact that some this may sound like a definite impact and

a huge breakthrough it actually isn't that different from what the north korean leader said before and it is a bit of a catch twenty two of course because the rest of the six party talks members like south korea japan the united states they all want the north korean leader to implement the moratorium first and then have more of korea return to the six party talks which have been stalled since two thousand and eight the north korean leader still wants to do it his way but still his announcement pretty much to the international community that he is prepared to return to the negotiating table is a very big deal. while coming apart from the much anticipated news on the nuclear problem what else has been agreed there. we know that the two leaders covered a broad range of issues of course it wasn't just the nuclear program of north korea the dominated the talks which lasted over two hours we also know that various other

aspects of the two sides relationships were discussed and we know that the proposal for a gas pipeline was discussed in great detail according to the russian president who spoke to the journalists a little after the bilateral meeting we know that there have been further developments in the plans for a gas pipeline that will go from russia to north korea of course south korean territory we also know that a number of committees have been created and this c.e.o. of russia's gas giant gazprom has been tasked with overseeing the project and also with traveling to north korea and are earning out some of the fine. details of the project so that definitely is still in the works and could be a very lucrative deal for north korea for south korea as well and definitely for russia which is looking to export more of its resources so this is definitely a financial bonus especially for north korea which is finding itself in very

difficult financial times. thanks very much indeed for the details because you know there are reporting from russia's republic of buddha it's you know there for us. are you watching r t let's now switch to other news that we are following for you here on the network investigators say they have new information about who ordered the murder of russian journalist on a public five years ago the statement follows the arrest of a former key witness in the case who is now fallen under suspicion himself for organizing the killing artist peter all over brings us the details. the very latest to come out from the investigators is that they are saying they have information regarding the name of the person who alters the nation of journalist anna politkovskaya now this is the person they've really been looking for the man right at the top of the pyramid and they haven't released any further information about

him as of yet but that's the latest this comes just one day after the arrest of a form a key witness for the prosecution to me to the public cenk of was a retired senior police officer here in moscow he had been on the stand as a witness for the prosecution many in the early part of course k. accounts have been wary about what he's been saying since the beginning and they say that his arrest now and the fact that he will be charged later on today show that they were right to have their concerns about him in the photo was not what i was before you know if you're a citizen was a prosecution witness in the case as far as i understand had been misleading investigators in a very clever way for a long time pretending to be an important source of information about the murder we in the prosecutors have doubts that he was sincere but there was not enough evidence no prosecutors have enough evidence also court to buy nova because after the show this man was linked to political skies murder this is of course

a case that has. drawn media attention from around the world anna politkovskaya has 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 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 pulled the trigger that fired the bullet that killed out of particles was arrested at a village in chechnya he was brought here to moscow where he's charged with the private remains in custody the investigation into who killed anna politkovskaya is progressing along and that we could see some major developments in this case in the

next few months and weeks. it all over there now let's take a look at some other international headlines now man is ramping up the pressure on syria due to the ongoing crackdown on protesters there europe and the u.s. have prepared a draft security council resolution to impose sanctions against president bashar assad's regime rushes against the move and says assad should be given an opportunity to carry out the reforms he started the u.n. human rights council puts the number of dad at around two thousand two hundred and ordered an investigation into the actions of syrian security forces meanwhile the group of syrian opposition members has been meeting in turkey to try and form and national council. and already a man has confessed to killing a nuclear scientist into iran last year and says he had connections with israeli intelligence during a trial session. he said taught him how to carry out terrorist acts including how to plant a bomb if found guilty the defendant could face

a death penalty physicist masood mohamadi was assassinated in a bomb attack outside of snow in january last year two other scientists were also killed after wards. 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 the quake was also felt in new york and office workers have to the buildings officials say several people have been injured and many buildings damaged. well after months of scandalous headlines and slanderous whispers criminal charges against dominique strauss kahn have been dropped the former head of the i.m.f. was accused of sexually assaulting a hotel maid and 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

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 if 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 mon 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 circus because many of the new york new york city newspaper headlines refer to dominique strauss kahn as a frog one 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 where you are now reporting there from new york professor robert zaretsky from the university of houston believes the dismissal of the charges wouldn't really help restore stross khan's reputation. i see this as just the latest the latest chapter. in the probable life of don't nix trust can 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 the other 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 lawyers have 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 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 realize that their plaintive and the only witness to this alleged crime was not credible. well the breezes have to date here on r.t. more updates coming your way shortly before that let's take a look at what's happening in the world of business with really.

following a very warm welcome to the program the scramble to get access to libya's oil has kicked off over the fighting is not over rebels hailing the end of the gadhafi regime warning russian firms may lose lucrative oil contracts whether 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 country restoration for feeding the people. so they will welcome any investments for basically the only source for the budgeting for new budget or the country's oil and gas so basically i think that any company especially the ones that already have been there will be welcome there. well this august has been the best month for gold in twelve years it's jumped almost seventeen percent in the
