the rest of the man suspected of organizing the killing of. a very warm welcome to you this is r.t. live from moscow with me wrong. rebels have stormed and looted colonel gadhafi compound in tripoli after three days of fighting in the libyan capital here here's how it all happened i was like oh my god i mean do. then just think haven't they found. i was like oh my goodness you know i'm having this thing angry crowds are venting their anger at the portraits and luxuries of the compound while the location of kid after himself is still not known he made his second radio address in the space of twenty four hours calling on his supporters to cleanse the capital he claims that his retreat from the compound was
6:02 am
a tactical move and promised to fight to the death some approaches after forces continue their armed resistance but of course suggesting they are attacking the town of that's just west of tripoli with missiles and tanks journalist richard spencer says that even if the rebels do 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 here we will have trained 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 keep our enemy in action revenge against north enemy but mainly for them to be in control and they're going to be fighting with each other for control after the next months in years. and on our website we are asking what you think
6:03 am
a way to live you have if the rebels do assume power that's right now most of you think it will be nothing more than an oil rich colony for nato members around a fifth fear the country will be torn apart by a power struggle fifteen percent think that little will change with one dictatorship or another and only four percent think that the rebels will pursue it over a democratic state have your say by logging on to. don't come. to me treatment 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 called on the two sides of the conflict to sit down and talk to determine the future of libya. a london based activist from the 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 we knew before with afghanistan we've been there before with iraq and i think the lesson from both of those and that actually the
6:04 am
message 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 does. bring to mind some of the worrying ways in which these things are being used i personally think the intervention of the international criminal court. the idea of a control i could half in his family is criminal also this is yet another saw in the western hypocrisy when we have to suppose tony blair and various other people responsible for being disastrous episode in iraq in particular who want indicted in this wire if there is evidence to put him on trial they should they should be dealt with in libya or not. or anywhere else. well france has been one of the main
6:05 am
advocates and participants of the nato military campaign in libya there are high hopes among the french oil companies of winning lucrative contracts with the new government but it's not easy daniel bushell reports the cost of the intervention on the unknown agenda of the rebels could mean more losses than guy. troops feels like a winner was the first power to recognize libya's rebels the first to become free and now the first in talks with rebel leaders for mr pace's victory gives him great satisfaction opposition m.p. jack laying every want to be thankful that inspired action at the united nations corporations in states that voted for you in intervention are rubbing their hands one of the first members of a french team. who. was a reprise into t.v. off to tell the difference or company. is not. of course
6:06 am
french all joint hall has been named as this was big enough rubble for a go to look 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 a wall for all 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 you'll be in libya a make sure profits france early maintaining force is. present in libya even the. resolution it's going to answer yes but keeping troops in the country means heavy costs drag on latest. polls say most french people now oppose
6:07 am
the military intervention this n.p.c.s. further bloodshed and the hefty price tag to deal with it now is opposed by the. war's far from and this invasion is already costing much more than we get back fears are growing that libya's new leaders a too divided to win the peace. points to the rebels murder last months of their military chief general yunis experts will widespread rebel looting and executions france's problems they have only just begun. r.t. paris. meantime a. columnist and author says that libya is likely to be punished into a long running civil war. it's a striking replay of two thousand and three the u.s. invasion of iraq when the united states told a dictator that effectively stifled this opposition and you know what they would be
6:08 am
replacing him with we're seeing see the exact situation now we need to be an. international council it's a hodgepodge of groups who are going to be in conflict with one another civil war is almost inevitable the more i get into libya you can see what i mean colonel gadhafi was really originated by president obama was kind of feverish payback for a reason you know farnoosh because it's the european for oil companies that have the most at stake in libya so this is really more of a he on you know you scratch my back in afghanistan and iraq some extent and so now i'm going to be good it looks like the europeans stand to even most. we've spoken to a bell about a one here ed is an arabic newspaper based in london i think the colonel gadhafi will definitely fall but the question is whether the rebels will be able to govern the country. yeah could turn to a failed state like what happened in afghanistan nobody can predict what will
6:09 am
happen after that we know that he would be moved from power because he and i actually need to use and he hasn't called back up abilities but the big question is you know what that position of counsel when the first. divisions it's the second whether it is capable put on the country and to keep it as a united states i. tell you what i do get about a twenty minute tape from north korea's leader has confirmed to russian officials that he's ready to return to six party talks about security on the korean peninsula without any preconditions. it follows a kim jong il's meeting with president dmitri medvedev in russia's republic of korea kim kim also said that he'd consider implementing a moratorium on the production and testing of nuclear weapons. as out of
6:10 am
a is in the republic's capital with more details on this. after a meeting with the russian president the north korean leader kim jong il has announced his country's willingness to return to the six party negotiations aimed at denuclearizing the korean peninsula but it will only reimpose its moratorium on production and testing of nuclear weapons once those six party talks begin 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 north 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 is a very big deal there were several signed 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 in the international community
6:11 am
finds out about his travels post factum or even not at all this time the entire world knew as soon as kim jong il crossed the russian border on his specially designed armored train and that of course led many to speculate that the meeting also publicized with the russian president dmitri medvedev would bring about some definite breakthrough and we know that there have been further developments in the plans for a gas pipeline that would 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 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. reporter if you were

6:14 am

6:18 am
a frog one 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 the comments and negative press that proceeded after his arrest. some are unimportant other reporters meantime a professor robert sort of from the university of houston believes that the dismissal of the charges i would really help to restore sconce reputation. i see this as just the latest the latest chapter. in the probable i thought dominic stross can 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
6:19 am
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 had been repeated in his past and he has always admitted that there was a sexual encounter or his lloyd's had been minute 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 have the courage to do one hundred eighty degrees on their original findings they thought they had a credible case in the wake of intensive investigation they realize that their plaintive and the only witness to this alleged crime was not credible. an hour twenty minutes past the hour here in the russian capital with r t it's good to
6:20 am
have you with us today if you stay with us for just a moment. but the business. hello and a very welcome to the business news that scramble to gain access to libya's oil has kicked off although the fighting is not over rebels hailing the end of the gadhafi regime war and russian firms may lose some lucrative oil contracts however the end is 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. so they will welcome any investments or basically the only source for the budget for new projects or the country's oil and gas so basically i think that any company especially the ones that already have been there will be welcomed there while the saugus has been the
