more in twenty minutes. just after ten pm here in the russian capital you're watching r.t. we begin with the breaking news story from libya where government officials have confirmed the death of colonel gadhafi the news comes from the city of sirte which has reportedly been overrun by government forces and now why you are looking on your screen at footage of a wounded colonel being taken captive now officials say gadhafi had serious injuries to both his legs the latest we've heard from the national transitional council is that the colonel has died from his wounds one of gadhafi sons has also reportedly been killed in sirte but the influential saif al islam his eldest son has reportedly been captured alive or details still trickling in from libya there and now more analysis from a political science professor get law from paris mr get out france led the foreign

military intervention efforts in libya and the french defense chief says that the country's planes fired on a convoy carrying gadhafi is a colonel's death now a cause for celebration in paris well actually in the streets of new celebration but maybe you know it's a cause for celebration although as you know there were periods when prince and the west generally were quite close to good they were in cahoots with them different moments there are moments of tension just moments of corporation. but. the people of libya rejoice and everyone is trying to poke fun to be rejoicing and to claim. they were responsible for the demise of nothing which in the case of nature is. true nature did play a major military part in. the victory of the rebels ok you're talking. about celebrations there at least on

a political level and also the mainstream media had jumped on at this news of the reported death of gadhafi they're calling it a marvelous success well do you think that this is really an event to celebrate just digging a little deeper into what has happened well actually the circumstances of his death are not yet known because there are conflicting reports about whether he was killed by the current government or the people were called insurgents before or whether it's convoy was attacked by nato forces so we don't know for sure how he died and it cause it would have been much better for the libyans to try him but it's a new way of fighting wars you know a few weeks ago the a bomb in the street killed the guy in yemen then before that it was bin laden who was assassinated it's clear that nato doesn't want to be embarrassed by the leader. that it's reported different in the past and then it was

opposed in a court of law or so. far more efficient to kill the opponents to prosecute them and to give them the possibility of expressing views that which. the west has not been in the same position in relation to these vetoes in the past following about logic i think you're saying that the embarrassment that would have come out if gadhafi had had been able to speak out so are you saying that they are happy with the outcome is this what they were gunning for to begin with. well it's difficult to be and their minds but most probably yes there's a there's a pattern now you kill all the leaders of the regimes that you're opposed to and of course you know the regime there could be was not a new dictator was a murderer and so on no doubt a very oblique right but there were moments when various countries in the west very close to gadhafi in two thousand and seven i think it was he came to paris he spent

a week there it bitch just stand just outside of major hotels so there were moments when there were business dealings with the regime even most. security equipment was sort to him so if dictator with whom you work is killed instead of tried in a court of law of course you cannot be beyond the complexity of your relationship with him. since the people or the joy saying everything is covered up and everyone rejoices officially but the main thing of course is not to reveal the very complex interactions that have always existed between libya and the west ok and now let's go back again to what has always been said by nato that the goal of this intervention is essentially to protect civilians but now that that things have changed have been good after he has reportedly been killed would that render the pretext of protecting civilians moot you know protecting from whom this time so

what gives him to protect to stay in there we are well officially nature will say. be sure manager in operational successful but basically it was a military intervention on this side one camp in a civil war now discount one. and whether nato remains an awkward very much depend on how this new government behaves. and it's not sure that things would be very smooth and easy by now of course the official. alibi. because basically it was an alibi humanitarian intervention cannot be invoked anymore because there is no gadhafi regime now it remains to be seen whether the new theory is going to bring calm to the country. tribal violence and whether there are human rights abuses prosecuted or denounced by the west ok well thanks very much

there live from paris a political asylum for us are here thanks again. all right well we would like to know what you think about the reported death of credit card opting out today we're asking you with the donkey what happens now in libya and so far the most popular response is west guarded oil fields surrounded by k. also will emerge years of painful and slow recovery comes second and some of you say the colonel's death will lead to a green so many police and tribal council elsewhere now only four percent of you say election reforms and prosperity please do head to our key dot com and cast your vote. we're going to greece now clashes broke out in central athens between rival groups of protesters during a second day of mass demonstrations against a new round of austerity measures being debated in parliament authorities say one person died while dozens were injured as more than fifty thousand demonstrators gathered in the city's main square outside parliament are reports now from out there. people it can be really bad very quickly also intactness lads we've got take

as being eased in the crowds we're not sure exactly what that setting off but everyone's just trying. to keep this back by the riot police now larry said in english poetry ford personally follow me on the draft of the of the national did and maybe tomorrow before. a lot of people said they wanted today to be peaceful once again i guess the same reason the crowd this seems a really very shocking we've seen divisions amongst the protesters themselves today everyone united completely in their opposition to the government as it were trying to do it for all the old political system of groups and for you know who infiltrated people hit the fill it stream the angry 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 usa all they do have more ahead for you including another historical step to space so he's right set to make its first foreign launched a europe and setting up its own satellite navigation system promising to become a rival of america's g.p.s. . to northern cos of the now where nato peacekeepers have unleashed tear gas on ethnic serbs pushing them away from a disputed border crossing at the serbs had barricaded the area claiming it belongs to them as they still don't consider kossovo an independent country artist is there with all 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 to 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. four here in the region not as 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 installing its institutions over the course of a over. the territory that the next to 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 and using loudspeakers address into

the crowd and calling on that to disperse and threatening otherwise used and from time to time they are using these words which is 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. 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. to remain calm and peaceful as much as possible but as you can see the situation may look stable but this is very dramatic this is an absolutely no we situation and tension is 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 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. let's get some reaction from the cost of inside now let's cross live to speak to our state secretary all over and over the mystery of i know that. claims that its forces in kosovo are there to maintain stability yet we are seeing a picture of pepper spraying and tear gassing unarmed serbs is this helping at all in keeping the peace. for the auction although everybody is aware they cannot do anything by force they have been offered free access to the gate one hundred thirty one but they want to gauge also the

exhibition that's another police and justice mission which didn't appear for more than three months on the streets and just in the very last moment they want to engage serb mayors in the north didn't accept that. for just a walkout from the meeting and now the decided to do his unilateral action by using their armored forces there's no chance to win this battle simply the serbs are resisting peacefully. against the police will resist. any kind of the advantage ok let's look at some allegations now ethnic serbs living and possible their claim that they are subject to violent racial profiling and also a costume is determined to kick them out what do you say to these allegations. i don't know this is a totally. i cannot simply understand the way where from this allegations are coming because of serbs have been over into the cave for free access to the gate they didn't use their wiles they just go over them the long discussion if it is

needed but they offered a dialogue like a way to overcome this situation from my point of view it's clear to decide again you know and they are just trying to endorse the fossil is additional. to the north what is not acceptable for the huge majority of the people in the north this we have to say that ninety nine ninety five percent of the people in the north are the serbs and they are not recognized in courts or in the panel say ok it's been over ten years since the war in kosovo but we are seeing at the end wrested north and possible showing no signs of abating actually months ago and now again what effort is your side making to pacify the situation. the single way is to get back to the table and try to negotiate about the possibility we will not never recognize the independence he but that means immediately some other steps we will not lead to their cause so if you choose to be in the north that dialogue which is open and then the which is broken exactly break

a breakthrough in any in brussels have to continue again and the dialogue is possible only if this equation is going to be broad prior to twenty fifth of july when the british sent the armed forces to the north that means no while and no unilateral steps and we have to have this but the make of the space for the political dialogue and some possible outcome which could be good for the both sides if it is not suitable for there was a side that's not really sustainable in the long run ok well let's look at some of some facts and well we have high profile costs of us wanted for war crimes at the hague they remain at large while all of the tops are going to war criminals have been arrested and they've been taken to the hague do you feel that justice is being served equally on both sides. yes although only we consider that like injustice because the way or the serbia decided to deliver them many. will suspect many people suspected of war crimes in the on other another side we have

the representatives or dare i say some prominent political leaders in prishtina which are accused for the very serious crimes but the international community entire international going to do is not acting in the same way i just hope that we will finally realize that this kind of one sided activities. will not provide us with a political stability here and i consider that to. have to do something to discover you know who is behind it who is the all ethnically what you are the crime night the idea nine two thousand and later on otherwise that's a that's a good will just make it impossible for such an international mission and to cooperate with the community all right thanks very much after your thoughts tara live from it's possible that was state secretary all of our event which thanks very much again. is on the ground in kossovo and she's been updating us with all the latest on air and online as well you can add to our twitter page to get all the

latest from her and also get all the new videos by our. let's have a brief look at some other world news in brief now violence broke out in the streets of the chilean capital as police used water cannons and tear gas to disperse student led protests at least forty people were arrested when a peaceful march for educational reforms ended in clashes with a two day strike was calling for free and quality education as students also claim the president yet is failing to distribute the wealth from

a recent compromised she was education rallies have been ongoing for several months now. to thailand where people in badcock are heading for higher ground as the country's worst flooding in decades reckons to swamp parts of the capital the government says it will be impossible to protect the city from the disaster as a prime minister declared a national crisis over three hundred people have died in floods since july with at least a third of the nation's provinces spilled water logged homes factories and thousands of acres of farmland have suffered billions of dollars in damage although that figure is expected to rise. 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 shows no sign 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 i explained. a class war seemed impossible in a country where being wealthy east part of the national green could espouse and

march 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 it's only when the rich are getting richer while the middle class is collapsing class war is being waged in a today fortunately the wall 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 last 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 said speech 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 the 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 can profit off a child dying at the same time with their parents into bankruptcy because 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 wall street will be nobody held three jobs but as one of the protesters try to put a word of objection call an old on hold on it's not your show monkey i'm talking to these people hold on i'm not talking to you you can. talk you through your personal

success and money have always being part of the american dream when you reach 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 our team. the first several launch of a russian rocket from a western platform has been temporarily postponed due to some technical difficulties well carrying a european satellite navigation system called galileo the rocket is now scheduled to set off for space for french guyana on friday bushell reports on the promising project. the director of the european space agency reacted komi to the delay he called a proven vehicle and says he doesn't want any minor issues to affect the launch the

navigator can often be inaccurate and actually cartel to built up zones but the new e.u. competitor called galileo promises me to point precision even in open areas where buildings currently my g.p.s. coverage to send the satellites into orbit europe's chosen the soyuz launcher with its own rival track record by far the most valuable long lake in the world. and i mean. we we are glad to hear from treasury e.u. space chief say shows you don't need to be complicated to succeed rational system very simple and effective it's a very good way of designing the politicians think it will launch a new partnership between europe and russia the way you country actively contributes to industrial scientific and technical. corporation for example. it is important stop on the way to raising the level of quality of our business ties and

diversification of its structures the man in charge of the lot says it's for superior to the us system to just get it to be a majority to go but it should be galileo's first satellites a diff to go from french. the earth rotates false to here by the point six giving an ideal catapult effect on takeoff i think you around the clear skies and you have the perfect conditions for launching in space america's g.p.s. has enjoyed a monopoly on the world sat nav market till now with so use also behind bushes also to g.p.s. known as the lunar us competition in the school is about to get just a little more crowded than you see french guiana well r.t. will broadcast historic soyuz launch live on friday at around ten thirty g.m.t. to stay with us for the full coverage from french guy. well that's all the news for now he will get we'll update you with all the latest in business after a short break.
