it's a major breakthrough. to build a huge oil terminal in. the mall tonight in twenty minutes. just after eight pm here in the russian capital you're watching our t.v. thanks for joining us well going back to our breaking news story from libya where government officials say colonel gadhafi has been killed well 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 in sirte where government forces are celebrating officials first said gadhafi had been taken alive with serious injuries to both his legs well the latest that we're hearing from the national transitional council is that the colonel has died from his wounds one of get off the sons has also reportedly been killed in syria and the m.d.c. had said that the fall of sirte would spell the liberation of libya after nine

months of civil war let's get some more analysis from base political scientist dr not. dr hashmi 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 the gadhafi and we see him dead now first of all let me congratulate the libyans for their. in their celebration return a. definitely 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 oil wise 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 it's finally fell down he's dead

right now and i want them to concentrate on rebuilding and leave one thing all the libyans to gether to rebuild libya to get the nato out of libya in art of their heads are there you're giving a message to the libyan people but just looking at how the mainstream media has been presenting this they're calling it a righteous victory for libyans will how would you assess this sort of attitude towards the reported death of gadhafi. 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 a picture for this men who ruled libya for forty two years and he was ruled brutally killing libyans and stealing all the wealth of the country so they have to show what they have to show the people in libya and of course more social 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 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 what are the what is the message that it's being delivered are you are saying that there you feel. for dictators as you are seeing is coming near we're looking at me to say intervention there are those with a 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 celebrations

yes get off these deaths. 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 new out 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 wealth the need oil because strategically again i can say it's traditionally and oil wise libya is number one. country in oil

and nato has done so much and of course they don't do anything for free first of all they sold weapons 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 hush rethinks again. more market off the rules libya 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 opened up libya as a safe haven for western terror groups the one 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 airstrikes which provoked defiance from gadhafi 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 is in the region a good selfie 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 this 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 shining five star hotels and presidential palaces he stayed in the 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 air strikes on libya as rebels backed up with military aid from foreign governments closed in on his last safe haven 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. the fall of a party. and to greece now the country remains paralyzed by the today general strike as thousands of greeks continue to protest across the country against new

budget cuts but parliament is due to vote on another round of the intensely unpopular sturdy measures needed to secure a continued payment from an international bailout fund artists are for ports from athens. people like you and me bank very quickly alston tightness lads we've got take as being eased in the crowds we're not sure exactly what they're setting off but everyone's just trying. to keep the cash back by the riot police now larry said holroyd true for bush forty four zero zero zero on the draft of the of the nurse will do and maybe two more before her. and that's what a lot of people said they wanted today to be peaceful once again i guess is the reason the crowd this seems they're really very shocking we've seen divisions amongst the protesters and styles today everyone united completely in their opposition to the government as it were trying to do to hold all the political system of groups and vulnerable. people here do you feel it stream

the anger we see not anger reaching boiling point hiding again here on the streets of athens. it's an extremely volatile situation that the rest of europe and the usa needs going to be watching this very closely because this isn't just a problem that affects greece it is a situation that affects the entire euro so you can see what the people in the country right now are 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 measures come in time and again and they fail people instead it's a make or break week for grace well here you can see what the situation is like people being left to pick up the pieces. you know two northern cos of a where nato peacekeepers have unleashed tear gas on ethnic serbs pushing them away from a disputed border crossing of the serbs had barricaded the area claiming it belongs to them as they still don't consider kosovo an independent country. is there with

the latest for us now. we are now at the scene of the tensions of this tent of between the soldiers of k. for the nato led peacekeeping force here in kosovo and the cost of insert civilians the soldiers have come here earlier in the morning as you can see on ahmed to be called the riot least three of them behind this very case all as you can see looking frightening in full riot gear to try to remove the barricades that ethnic serbs erected here three months ago but the ethnic serbs living here in kosovo have gathered here to prevent the peacekeepers from doing that from taking the barricades away as they say nato as well as k. for here in the region not as paid peacekeepers but they are exceeding their mandate the u.n. security council resolution number twelve forty four the only legal reason for them to be here but they're right now rather it's just in pristina in all its institutions over the course of

a over. the territory that the ethnic serbs see as their heartland as an independent state they don't recognize 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 the force will be used and from time to time they are using these words which is packed with gas pepper spray this is something like 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 the serbs here are dressed same crowd

calling on the. to remain calm and peaceful as much as possible but as you can see the situation may look this is very dramatic this is an absolutely no win situation and tension is very high and it's boiling. all the time last month when try to remove the barricades by force they used tear gas against protesters and rubber bullets even at least seven civilians have been injured and this time as well fears are growing that it could be violent and they could be blood and victims from both sides. but if a national on the ground in kosovo 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 via 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 well 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 but as thousands marched on wall street and in other parts of america protesting against the 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 a burka today unfortunately the wrong side is winning the so-called one percent of winners are the nation's top corporations which this year made the economy's very slow growth of non the less made record profits but thanks to various loopholes

many of these corporations pay little or nothing in taxes 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 says beach there were up slightly a few thousand in our upstream 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 them economists say married his 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. their parents have a bankruptcy too they're 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 kill . you nobody you know job but as one of the protesters try to put a word of objection call an old on hold on it's not george i'm talking to these people hold on i'm not talking to you you can. talk to personal success and money have always been 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 on reporting from washington. a lot of 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 defrauded investors in the collapse of the mortgage industry but there were no criminal charges bought 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 and you just heard this story that we heard earlier wall street bankers and you say protests are should be thankful to banks for creating jobs during the recession but how they actually done this and i think more importantly was there any significant contribution from terms 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 and to china they counsel corporations they told corporations cut costs 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 were 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 they were in the you know financial crisis and there would be no protesters ok well mr ellis we've 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 now do you think the movement is on its way to becoming something even bigger and how much bigger can this get. 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 it's 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 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 of the you footage of the colonel's a body what appears to be his body of research the chauffeur said gadhafi had been a taken alive 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 the sons has also reportedly been killed in this now the m.d.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 browse and get more reaction from international consultant law to ban all start this around also you have said previously here on r t that be a nato intervention in libya 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 are now discovering that they changed their dictatorship

and their liberal name for the defense 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. 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 plumbing is there i can understand from an emotional point of view people celebrating the demise of the state but they will soon find out that they changed their phone number 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 the rebels are led by by people who are from. 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 to 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 i mean you know as we have seen in other countries as well especially when there is a change in leadership do you think there's going to be a power vacuum and do you think that national transitional council would be a suitable for libya i give it the circumstances now and moving forward. well of course in stances you need some kind of the transitional council whether this one is or what 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 the libyan people i'm pretty sure. thanks very much for your thoughts live from brussels that was international consultant thanks

very much thank you alright well i will have more coming to you this hour but first let's go to your now with the latest in business. hello and a very warm welcome to the program russian investment group suma capital and a branch of oil trading giant fetal one attended to build an oil terminal in rotterdam in the netherlands the 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 the dutch prime minister concerned increasing energy cooperation between the two countries now this isn't just empty protocol in this particular case the dutch companies are already big players in the russian market they contribute to a large amount of investment in the russian energy sector from all the foreign partners so heavily involved here and the full cooperation isn't just some sort of

their ethical exchange what russia wants is the ability to control its oil downstream as it moves from russia into europe was the western companies the dutch companies the opportunity to help russia to discover and to drill its oil particularly which is located in the arctic in your mouth another area in which the touched is renewables the dutch companies are going to be lending their expertise and producing more noodles in russia at the moment russia is lagging behind other countries perhaps not reconsidering its reach or the resources of its renewables production in terms of a specific result of course is going to be the construction of this huge oil terminal and now the cost of this project is expected to be anything up to one billion dollars already thirty percent of all that all go through is russian oil is sure to increase and so this is going to be a prophet 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 an energy provider and as one that doesn't just provide the oil but distributes it. and the president of russia dom port says it will enable cheap occurred worldwide it's a completely new logistic concept shuttling its new boat icebreaking boat from pretty more screw roll to them every day during the whole year and it lowers the cost of the transport of the crude oil and it's a big advantage compared to an existing situation where in when it's freezing it's close the price is off to go to all and to transport closer to four times as high as is normal. the vice president of the summa group says the new oil port will help russian producers extend the price difference between the urals and front lines. we believe. with a transparent and competitive. price for mitch mcconnell and for

four russian oil urals we will in the medium term be able to capture the discount between brant and urals which will benefit all russian producers. let's have a look at the markets now boyle is still trading near its lowest in four days giving up recent gains w.t.r. is losing under two dollars a trade of the eighty four dollars per barrel brant is hovering at one hundred seven dollars per barrel. storks on low as concern over european debt talks overshadowed an unexpected growth and a gauge of manufacturing in the philadelphia region and better than estimated corporate earnings. from the european stocks extended losses no because today investors were still looking to stick to the sidelines and we've been searching to have a kershaw weekend a sea of red all across the board to find that shells weighing on the sea and
