just after eight pm here in the russian capital you're watching r t thanks for joining us we're going back to our breaking news story from libya where government officials say colonel gadhafi has been killed while the news comes from the city of sirte which has reportedly been overrun by government forces although let's have a look at some pictures now this is inserted where government forces are celebrating their shells the first to get off they have been taken alive with serious injuries to both his legs the latest that we're hearing from the national transitional council is that the colonel has died from his wounds one of the off the sons has also reportedly been killed insurgents and the n.c.c. had said that the fall of sirte will spell the liberation of libya after nine months of civil war let's now a get some more analysis from base political scientist dr not. dr house three we've been looking at footage of a man who appears to be colonel gadhafi but how long do you think it will take to actually confirm that he's been killed that would erase any doubt. well

from what we see right now i mean it's definitely gadhafi and we see him dead now first of all let me congratulate the libyans for their. in their celebration written a. really historic victory for the m.d.c. and for the nato and more so for the nato of course i mean for strategic surgically and or allies of course. let me just remind the libyans. a little bit here that this huge victory don't let it go down like what happened in iraq because definitely this dictator has finally fell down and he's dead right now and i want them to concentrate on we've building reuniting all the libyans they gather to rebuild libya and to get the nato out of libya in art of their heads are there you're you're giving

a message to the libyan people but just looking at how the mainstream media has been presenting this or calling it a righteous victory for libyans or how would you assess this sort of attitude towards the reported. well first of all i mean the way that he was killed. the brutality of the picture definitely i mean they wanted to show the libyans picture for this men who ruled libya for forty two years and he was ruled brutally killing libyans in stealing all the wealth of the country so they had to show it they had to show the people in libya and of course morsel the people in the whole world. that this man this rural man is killed like this in this kind of matter and i'm against that so much but i don't want people to misunderstand me i mean all dictators definitely there is is some some kind

of way in this in this matter but the the pictures are definitely. there is something behind them and time will only tell why did they what is the message that it's being delivered all right you were saying that there you feel the end for dictators as you are seeing is coming near while working at nato intervention there are those voice saying that it is clearly the goal of that was getting rid of the colonel how do you think they have a cause now for celebration when you yourself said that you know dictators time is running down running out. well you mean for libya yes for the celebration for libya yes. exactly you know i think it's a little bit too early for libyans to celebrate right now because let's not forget who's in libya right now the nato is in libya and let's not forget in the arab

world and what's been have what happened in iraq what happened in you are how many years of civil war what i'm really afraid right now is that the libyans are going to go through a civil war if they don't really nice together don't forget that there's a lot of tribes in libya and they have to get. together. and reunite they actually have every single stranger out of their country and have the well of the need oil because strategically again i can say it's three to shipley and oil wise olivia is number one. country in fuel oil and need to has done so much and of course they don't do anything for free first of all they sold the bins and ammunition for billions of dollars to the revolutionaries and right now they're going to have to be paid somehow and i'm afraid that. the libyans or libya is going to end up like iraq so i

think it's a little bit too early to celebrate what happened they have to concentrate and put their heads together to get through to really build a libya all right well thank you very much for your thoughts there live from beirut political scientist dr not a house reports again. will normally get off the rules will go for nearly forty two years before he was ousted in august peter all over takes a look back at the role of one of the world's most controversial leaders. hunted through the streets of his own smouldering capital a far cry from when he assumed power in a bloodless coup in one thousand nine hundred sixty nine shunning the west duffy equipped his army with soviet military technology all paid for with money from libya's huge oil reserves during the cold war he opens up libya as a safe haven for the west into a groups the nine hundred eighty six bombing of la belle nightclub in west berlin targeted u.s. servicemen and resulted in president reagan ordering airstrikes on tripoli where

strikes which provoked defiance from kids are free the worst atrocity committed during this period was the one thousand nine hundred eighty eight bombing of pan am flight one hundred three over lockerbie in scotland which killed two hundred and seventy people cut off from trade in fearing the rise of militant islam isn't in the region itself initiated the thawing of relations in the ninety's the libyan leader condemned al-qaeda and declared himself an ally in the war on terror has promoted billions of dollars of business being conducted between libya and the global community world leaders going out of their way to make sure that they were seen to be working with kids after showing five star hotels and presidential palaces he stayed in a traditional bedouin tent flanked by a security detail of glamorous female agents his face bearing the marks of repeated cosmetic surgery partially hidden behind sunglasses at all times the beginning of

the end came in february political unrest swept along on the wave of popular revolt in egypt reached libya the response from the libyan leader was brutal the u.n. passed a resolution to allow bears strikes on libya as rebels with military aid from foreign governments closed in on his last safehaven eight months after the first protests and despite claims from gadhafi that he would fight on and when one of the most colorful and controversial figures in modern history was removed from power. rollover party. and to greece now the country remains paralyzed by the today general strike as thousands of greece continue to protest across the country against new budget cuts the parliament is due to vote on another round of the intensely unpopular a sturdy measures needed to secure a continued payment from an international bailout fund artists are for reports from athens. people i can be really bad very quickly also intactness but we've got ten

guys in the crowd we're not sure exactly but they're setting off and everyone's just trying. to get. the riot police their. own troops bromide. all of the above the national t.v. and. i was like a lot of people said they wanted to take to be peaceful once again. the crowd this means they're really very shocking we seem to visions amongst the places in the south today everyone united completely in their opposition to the government. order of the political system of groups and for you know. people here do you feel it's truly angry we see not anger reaching boiling point high then again here on the streets of athens. it's an extremely volatile situation that they're arrested and yet in the hotel needs to be watching this very closely

because this isn't just a problem that affects great it is a situation in effect here tie your eyes so you can see what the people in the country right now willing to go through to have their voices heard they don't want to be under this pressure any will in the country they see these babies come in time and they found people is that it's a make or break week well here you can see what the situation is like people being left to pick up the pieces. you know to northern kosovo where nato peacekeepers have unleashed tear gas on ethnic serbs pushing them away from a disputed border crossing of the serbs have barricaded the area claiming it belongs to them as they still don't consider kosovo an independent country artie's movie if an option is there or the latest for us now. we are now at the scene of the tensions of this tent of between the soldiers of the case for the nature led peacekeeping force here in kosovo and the cost to insert civilians the soldiers have come here earlier in the morning as you can see on armored vehicles right

least three of them behind these barricades all as you can see in fright me in full riot gear to try to remove the barricades that ethnic serbs erupted here three months ago but the ethnic serbs leaving here in cost of zero have gathered here to prevent the peacekeepers from doing that from taking the barricades away as they say nato as well as k. four here in the region not as peacekeepers but they are sitting there mandate the u.n. security council resolution number twelve forty four the only legal reason for them to be here but they are right now rather it's just in pristina in installing its institutions over the course of a over. the territory that the at least are still see as their heartland as an independent state they don't recognize the course of his two thousand and eight self-proclaimed independence and don't recognize the authorities and laws and institutions from time to time the peacekeepers are using loudspeakers addressing

to the crowd and calling on that to disperse and threatening otherwise would be used and from time to time they are using these tools which is packed with gas pepper spray this is something like a tear gas it has the same impact on human being as the tear gas has but serbs are not ready to surrender as they say they're protecting themselves with masks using special liquid to wash their eyes and they say they will be here until the very and as long as it is needed to protect their rise from time to time the leaders of this service here are addressing the crowd calling on. to remain calm and peaceful as much as possible but as you can see the situation may look staple but this is very dramatic this is an absolutely no win situation and tensions very

high and it's boiling. all the time last month when he came forward tried to remove the barricades by force they used tear gas against protesters and rubber bullets even and at least seven civilians have been injured and this time as well fears a growing it's could be violent and they could be large and the victims from both sides are is that if an option on the ground and possible there and she's updating us with all the latest on air and online as well as you can head to our twitter page for the latest from her and you can also get all our new videos by our you tube channel. now there's a class war brewing in the united states that's a stark warning from the occupy wall street movement which is into its fifth week and showing no signs of giving up but for them the yawning gap between rich and poor is getting far too wide and that could cost the government dearly as explains . a class war seemed impossible in

a country where being wealthy east part of the national dream could as thousands march on wall street and in other parts of america protesting against a system that they claim works only for the benefit of those super rich individuals and corporations many ask whether america is facing a class war that at a time when the rich are getting richer while the middle class is collapsing class war is being waged in america today unfortunately the wrong saudi is winning the so-called one percent of winners are the nation's top corporations which this year the economy's very slow growth of non the less made record profits the things to various loopholes many of these corporations pay little or nothing in parts of the corporations say they need the tax breaks to be able to invest more in to hire more america's second largest energy producers chevron is now lobbying not to let the government tax them more and to my question how many americans has chevron hired

since the tax breaks were introduced in two thousand and four the c.e.o. of the company said speech there were up slightly a few thousand business over the years but not significantly not significantly on our chevron payroll a few thousand jobs for the billions of dollars in tax stimulus that the government gave that economy same erika's largest corporations are sitting on more than three trillion dollars and not investing in the economy unemployment in the us remains over nine percent when we live in a nation where corporations could profit off a child dying at the same time. they're going to go bankrupt due to their trying to pay for these kids' medical bills. what does that say about our country the wall street answer to people's rage and if you can. help me nobody held a job but as one of the protesters tried to put a word of objection call an old on hold on it's not your show i'm talking to these

people hold on i'm not talking to you you can. talk to personal success and money have always be part of the american dream the rich the aspiration to become rich is deeply ingrained in american society and widely promoted by pop culture but those who took to the streets have made it clear that the situation when the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer is not their idea of the american dream in fact it could be the end of it and the beginning of a class war i'm going to check our reporting from washington r.t. alas the occupy wall street movement gathers momentum across the globe but the anger of corporate america continues to grow day by day and for more on this let's talk to curtis ellis the exit of the executive director of the american jobs alliance mr ellis has there been any indication that the white house is going to listen to the occupy wall street protesters and take action against the big banks. no you know the white house is paying lip service to the concerns of the protesters

and the unemployed but we see exactly the opposite in the way of action they just got finished pushing three more outsourcing deals under the false name of trade deals which will actually benefit the financial sector but lead to more outsourcing of more u.s. jobs in manufacturing and other sectors and we also just saw yesterday that the u.s. justice department made a settlement with citibank citibank the fraud investors in the collapse of the mortgage industry but there were no criminal charges but brought citibank paid a quarter of a billion dollars but they got a slap on the wrist for a fine and no one went to jail this is not taking action against the big banks ok ed you just heard this story that we heard earlier wall street bankers and you say protests there should be bankrolled to banks for creating jobs during the recession but how they actually done this and i think more importantly i was there any significant contribution from sort of creating jobs.

wall street not only did not create jobs they are directly responsible for the unemployment crisis in america i like to say that wall street bankers are like the kid the child who kills his parents and then pleads for mercy from the judge because he's an orphan the wall street bankers actively pushed corporations to outsource jobs and move production from america to third world countries into china they counsel corporations they told corporations cut cause by cutting your u.s. payroll and then move those jobs to china to vietnam to indonesia to all of these countries where they can pay pennies on the dollar this will look like you're a cost cutter it'll boost the stock price and it'll make your quarterly earnings report look good now the c.e.o.'s who are being paid in company stock so they were

eager to boost the share price by any means necessary what they did is they destroyed the american economy they destroyed the dreams of american workers by taking their jobs away but at the same time they were destroying the customers who bought from companies the taxpayers who pay taxes into the u.s. treasury and they were destroying the incomes of homeowners who could no longer pay their mortgages and hence we got a mortgage crisis so the wall street companies are directly responsible for this unemployment crisis they have not only not created jobs they are responsible for destroying jobs in the united states and that's what the protesters are really protesting about they have no jobs if they had jobs during the you know financial crisis and there would be no protesters ok well mr ellis has seen this movement go from a few people in new york city to be coming out worldwide protests against the so-called one percent of the world's richest and do you think the movement is on its way to becoming something even bigger and how much bigger it can't escape it. well we see

in greece today that it's quite big that's not going away and as these policies these basically neoliberal policies in line with what the i.m.f. has imposed on other countries to try to get instituted in the developed world we will see this get larger an open question now will the occupy wall street protesters take this movement back to their hometowns so this spreads even further into the grassroots level ok well thank you very much for your thoughts there curtis ellis executive director of the american jobs alliance thanks again. all right well our quick reminder of our breaking news story from libya where government officials say colonel gadhafi has been a killed the news comes from the city of sirte which has reportedly been overrun by government forces and again we have been looking at pictures today in the last few hours the your photos show the colonel's a body what appears to be his body of research yourself first said gadhafi had been a target of lie with serious injuries to both his legs but the latest we've heard

from the national transitional council is that the colonel has died from his wounds i want to get off these songs has also reportedly been killed in the now the n.c.c. has said the fall of sirte would spell the liberation of libya after nine months of civil war well let's across live to brussels and get more reaction from international consultant law to ban all star this event also you've said previously here on our t.v. need to resurrection and we've got means a second colonization of africa has begun can you elaborate on about please. yes. well actually now the gadhafi is that i'm very worried first of all about the fate of the libyan people they've been obvious crowfoot change their dictatorship for none of them and they're liberal and they feel their share i'm going to leave you will now become a bridge for the for the conquest of africa actually the first steps have already been taken obama recently and some advisors so-called advise to uganda

another reason where there's a lot of conflict and also a lot of economic interests i think the plan is there i can understand from an emotional point of view that people celebrate the demise of the faithful but they will soon find out if they change their king for another one ok well you are you're presenting as if there could be more problems in the future but at least can we say that because of the colonels i reported that civil war would be the end of civil war in libya. well i would for the for the sake of the libyan people i would hope so but i'm afraid not these rebels are led by by people who are from what lies who are former ministers from gadhafi they have interests at stake they already have promised to so much of the economic assets to other countries in france to the u.s. to germany and other countries and they're not going to get some democracy getting

in the way to change those agreements ok and you know as we have seen a in other countries this was especially when there is a change in leadership do you think there's going to be a power vacuum and do you think about transitional council would be a suitable story for libya i give it the circumstances now are moving forward but of course in so those circumstances you need some kind of transitional council whether this one i don't believe so they already said clearly what they are standing for and they are spending for a sellout of the country for the benefit of a few this is what's going to help a little european pretty short of radical thanks very much for your thoughts live from brussels that was international consult a lot of thanks very much thank you. all right well we'll have more coming to you this hour but first let's go to your now with the latest business.

loans a very warm welcome to the program russian investment group soon a capsule and a branch of oil trading giant beetle one attempted to build an oil terminal in rotterdam in the netherlands but deal has been signed during the visit of the dutch prime minister. gordon has the details. the bulk of the conversation between president medvedev and a dutch prime minister mark kluge their concern increasing energy cooperation between the two countries now this isn't just the protocol in this particular case the dutch companies are already big players in the russian market they contribute a large amount of investment in the russian energy sector from all the foreign partners so they're already heavily involved here and the corporation isn't just some sort of theoretical exchange what russia wants is the equity to control its oil downstream from russia in the year of the western companies the dutch companies the opportunity to help russia to discover and to drill its oil. which is located

in the arctic and in your mouth another area in which there is renewables the dutch companies are going to be lending their expertise in producing more new was in russia at the moment russia is lagging behind other countries perhaps that she considering this region resources in terms of its renewables production in terms of specific results of course is going to be the construction of this huge oil this huge thermal and now the cost of this project is expected to be anything up to one billion dollars already thirty percent of all the all the go through rotterdam is russian oil is sure to increase and so this is going to be a property of the specific russian company capital which is going to be involved in this but it's also going to be improving the image of russia as energy provider and as one that doesn't just provide the distributed as well and the president says it will enable cheaper crude worldwide. it's a completely new logistic concept shuttling it's new boat ice breaking ball from

pretty much control to them every day during the whole week here and it lowers the cost of the transporter for the crew total and the speakerphone feeds compared to what it exists in situation where again when it's freezing it's close to the price it's off the cuckold and it sends word closer to four times as high as its normal. vice-presidential the summa group says the new oil port in want to dump will help russian producers extend the price difference between europe and red lines. but we believe that. with a transparent and competitive. price permission mechanism for four russian oil urals or we will in the medium term be able to capture the discount between brant and euros which will benefit all russian producers.
