unless it's murder it follows tuesday's arrest of the man suspected of a balkanizing the killing of. worldwide news live from moscow this is r.t. with me recent shame rebels have stormed and looted colonel gadhafi is compound in tripoli after three days of fighting in the libyan capital here's how it all went down. i was like oh my god i mean do. but then then just think i haven't i found. i was like oh my goodness i'm happy you know i'm having this thing angry crowds are vented their anger at the portraits and the luxuries of the compound while the location of kidnapping himself is still not known he made his a second to radio address in the space of twenty four hours calling on his supporters to cleanse at the capital claims that his retreat from the compound was

a tactical move and promised to fight to the death some approaches are forces that continue their resistance with reports suggesting they're attacking the town of july that just west of tripoli with missiles and tanks journalist richard spencer says that even if the rebels do can to take control of the country civil war is about 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 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 keep our but maybe get some 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 yours. and on our website we are asking what

you think awaits libya if the rebels do assume power the numbers are right now here on our most of you think there will be nothing more than just 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 whatever but one that dictatorships what another i don't see four percent think that the rebels will pursue it over a democratic state have your say by logging on to dot com. dmitri medvedev says that 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 lindsey german a london based activist from the stop the war coalition believes that 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 we've been there before with

iraq and i think the lesson from both of those and that actually the message 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 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 feel 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 the 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 advocates and participants of the nato military campaign in libya there are high hopes among the french oil companies of winning lucrative contracts with a new government but as artie's daniel bushell reports the cost of the intervention and the unknown agenda of the rebels could mean more losses than gains. fraud's feels like a winner was the first power to recognize libya's rebels the first to become trees and now the first in talks with rebel leaders for mr allen 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 the intervention of 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 very far from of course french all joint hole has been named as this was big enough rubble all 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 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 old two from france officially claims its war mission is over but analysts tippit to secretly stay you'll be in libya make sure profits only many jaylene forces. presence in libya even the. resolution. yes but keeping troops in the country means heavy costs struggled. latest polls say

most french people now oppose the military intervention this in p.c.'s for the bloodshed and the hefty price tag to deal with it's no longer passed by the guess what you mean much the war is far from over and this invasion is already costing much more than we give back. is a growing that libya's new leaders to do so with the peace good points to the rebels murder last months of the military chief general yunis exposed widespread looting and executions beachfronts these problems may have only just begun bushell paris. meantime ted rowland columnist and author who says that libya is unlikely to be plunged into a long running so for it to strengthen replay the two thousand and three. us and lesion of iraq when the united states told him to do that effectively stifle

design decision and you know what they would be replacing him with we're seeing see an exact situation now we knew the end of the international council is a hodgepodge of groups who are going to be in conflict with one another civil war is almost inevitable because the war against libya you can see colonel gadhafi was really really needed by president obama was going to the british people for a reason you know farnoosh because it's the european companies that have the most at stake in libya so this is really more of the you know you scratch my back in afghanistan and iraq. and so now i'm going to say that it looks like the europeans stand to gain the most. we also spoke to a body of one who edits an arabic newspaper based in london he thinks that they will definitely fall but the question is whether the rebels will be able to govern the country. yeah could turn to i think state like what happened.

nobody can predict what will happen after that we knew that he would be removed from power because he actually needs and he hasn't. but the big question is. that. the first. division and its second he's capable to run the country and to keep. the united states. so i want some of his past the hour here in moscow you with oughts he iran is suing russia in the international court for refusing to supplied with the three hundred missile systems that's according to the iranian ambassador here in moscow russia didn't carry out the negotiated supply to iran due to the un enforced brought in

last june moscow said it would abide by the resolution and will be ready to consider a deal as soon as the international embargo was lifted three hundred is considered one of the most effective anti aircraft systems in the. 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 kim jong il's meeting with president dmitri medvedev and russia's republic of. kim also said he would consider implementing a moratorium on the production and testing of nuclear weapons. in the republic skeptical with details. 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 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 south korea of course north korea 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. because we know a lot of the reporting right there what if you don't go into a cold you're going to find out how the north korean leader has been spending time . head of the key meeting this includes a relaxing day in the world's deepest lake. taking a different its waters more details on our website. and to some other news now here on r.t. investigators say they have new information about who ordered the murder of russian

journalist and the political five years ago the statement follows the arrest of a key witness in the case under suspicion himself for organizing the killing. is the latest. 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. camp 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 fighting a boy has not been with before you know a theorist that man 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 in the prosecutors have doubts that he was sincere but there was not enough evidence no prosecutors have enough evidence also quit to buy nobody 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. she was a very highly respected journalist and gained much praise at 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. pulled the trigger that fired the bullet that killed. was arrested in a village in chechnya he was. so. close to the investigation into who killed. is. it that we could see some major developments in this case in the next few weeks . the u.n. is wrapping up its pressure on syria using the ongoing crackdown on protesters that europe and the u.s. have prepared a draft security council to impose sanctions against president bashar al assad's regime. and says assad it should be given an opportunity to carry out the reforms he started the un human rights council the number of dead at around two thousand

two hundred and ordered to investigation into the actions of syrian security forces meanwhile the group of syrian opposition members has been meeting in turkey to try and form a national council. and iranian man has confessed to killing a nuclear scientist in tehran last year and says he had connections with israeli intelligence during a trial session. taught him how to carry out terrorist. how to plant a bomb if found guilty of the defendant could face the death penalty physicist. was assassinated in a bomb attack outside his home in january last year two other scientists were also killed shortly afterwards. 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 was also felt in new york and office workers had to leave buildings officials say no one was seriously injured

but many. but after months of scandalous headlines and slow interest whispers criminal charges against dominique strauss kahn have now been dropped the former head of the i.m.f. was accused of sexually assaulting a hotel maid in new york. has the latest details 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 among 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 is a frog one refer to him as pepe le pew and they also refer to him as a womanizer now this of course ruined the reputation for this french politician he was considered a contender for the next presidential race in france but his basically his reputation was really and 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.

reporting that well professor robert is that it's going from the university of houston believes that its message of the charges are to help to restore khan's reputation i see this as just the latest the latest chapter on in the problem i think don't need 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 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 are not the side of the atlantic to explain what is happening what happened is what's happening repeated in his past and he has always admitted that there was a sexual encounter or his lawyers have been in it 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 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 in the only witness to this alleged crime was not credible. enough that on the minute they stay with us here with the business. hello time for your business day it's russia wants to bring the normally hostile north and south korea's together in the name of business and there is some way to siberia that if they all have agreed to a look at building a gas pipeline across north korea to supply the republic in the south the one thousand kilometer long pipeline would carry up to ten billion cubic meters of get

some knowledge joined by julian leaf from the center for global energy is that is hello john thanks for joining us so how do you think. we'll be able to persuade the south koreans to get involved well i think this is going to be a very difficult challenge to get all parties together what we've seen i think use is very much the the first small step and there are many many miles to go i think before we reach. a workable we agree on this. there is deep suspicion between the two koreas i think there will be a large amount of skepticism to overcome in south korea about allowing themselves to become even partially dependent on the supplies of gas that are pite across the northern neighbor. but one of the main obstacles on the way well i think the main obstacles firstly are you have to have an agreement between

all three countries russia north korea and south korea it's no good. building a pipeline i think that simply links russia or in north korea because the north koreans are not going to be able to pay a sufficient price for gas imports from russia that would ever pay back the cost of building the pipeline so the pipeline has to be extended into south korea to tap the south. korean market now if one looks at. the progress of other similar pipelines and perhaps the best examples of pipelines that seek to deliver gas either from turkmenistan or iran to pakistan and india again here we have a project or projects that are dependent to some extent on tapping the lucrative indian market but in order to do so they have to cross pakistan and relations between pakistan and india have meant that that simply hasn't happened despite

decades of negotiation the relationship between south korea and north korea i think is is probably no better if not worse than the relationship between india and pakistan so that i think it's the major obstacle that it's going to have to be overcome but basically what does north korea get out of this arrangement well i think north korea would get two things one it would get supplies of russian gas and there are acute energy shortage using in north korea and the second thing that it would get if it can make this work income from transit revenues of gas that crosses its territory to south korea one has to assume that from a russian point of view the most important market in economic terms out of this agreement is going to be south korea and some may think that it's strange that we have russia. in its western exports is seeking to move away from

dependence on transit countries particularly ukraine and to the extent belarus and yet the least it is looking at creating a dependence on north korea as a transit country so there is some way i think. dislocation between policy in the east and policy in the west over the us. thank you very much surely senior analyst at the center for global energy. studies that's what's your analysis and still have time to have a quick look at the markets gold has rebounded after dropping from an all time high above one thousand nine hundred dollars an ounce investor concern about the worsening soaring debt crisis complicating the global economic slowdown is fueling demand for a store of value. oil has slipped from its size close soon for days in new york as you can see as a downgrade of japan's credit rating and forecasts of growing crude stockpiles in the u.s.
