reportedly been overrun by government forces and we have been looking at images of the fuel for the last few hours and it appears to be footage of a wounded colonel being taken captive officials say get off he had 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 and want to gadhafi sons has also reportedly been killed in sirte the influential saif al islam his eldest son has reportedly been captured alive again still details trickling through to us from wal-mart the doctor has ruled 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 smoldering carpets or a far cry from when he assumed power in a bloodless coup in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine shelling the west duffy equipped his army with soviet military technology all paid for with money from

3:03 pm
a traditional bedouin tent flying to play 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 and its 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 good selfie that he would fight on and win one of the most colorful and controversial figures in modern history was removed from power peter oliver r.t. . well let's get some analysis now from british m.p. a jeremy corbyn a thanks very much mr corrigan for joining us tonight now if gadhafi was initially taken alive as the footage shows he should have been treated as a prisoner of war do you think that the libyan government forces would have wanted
3:04 pm
i mean understandably emotions were running high at the moment at that moment in time why was it that the case that he was treated at like a prisoner of war he should you're quite correct in being treated as a prisoner of war take. interviewed interrogated and put on trial and then the due process would have taken place in it but it looks from all the television coverage i've seen was there was an element of mold rule of this and he was indeed killed in the back of a truck and this really does raise some question marks about the command and discipline of the t.n.c. forces. what libya is going to be like not just tomorrow but next month next year in the next ten years because clearly there is a need for a stable government in libya there is a need for didn't democratic government in libya there is need for an investigation into human rights difficulties and abuses in the past but there's an awful lot is an awful lot of irregular forces out there and one hopes this is going to be
3:05 pm
repeated very rooted in the 1980's and certainly a lot of questions still have to be answered but now we know that the old regime is essentially gone and all of gadhafi states have either been killed or captured does that actually need to libya's civil war is over. i hope it leads that the conflict is over a means that guns we will be a national government and there will be all the accoutrements of a national government but i think the west needs to be quite helpful here in part of the soft and when we pray to pressure on sales around the world ok well march of this year britain was selling arms to libya as were all the other countries and so i think there has to be some understanding of the relationship in the future. and we also know that nato had said that its military intervention will not end with the capture or the death of the colonel how long do you think nato will remain in their gear and what exactly will their pretext be at this time now that the scenario has changed. i see no purpose or point in nato remaining involved in libya
3:06 pm
in the future what the basis of the nato involvement was united nations security council one nine seventy three which authorized a no fly zone this seems to be very liberally interpreted by nato with huge bombing count in the transit so it's a great many targets it could be no justification for continuing later wolf ration surely it's now a matter for the libyan people to work out their future that's after all is what nato kleindienst invention was about i just wonder if it isn't also something to do with oil in arms and souls in the future. and just going back to how actually get our feet was killed or had died we have been looking at the footage it seemed like he was alive it seemed like he had died there but we also know that nato had confirmed that it bond i'll go in this convoy fleeing the serbs with gadhafi supposedly in a lot of the vehicles there again different scenarios playing out what it be convenient go to write the colonel's death off as collateral damage. it would be
3:07 pm
extremely convenient to do that i think come full problem for that is that there is this footage of him apparently in the back of a truck in the town surrounded by a very angry mob and the assumption i guess is that he was killed by this mob sometime shortly after that the convoy that was fleeing i don't know who was in who or what that was about but the materials he did claim last week there was a convoy in the desert they think coded for grapheme and maybe their intelligence was was wrong at that point but he has been killed really it's clear that he has been killed by a mob that also seems to be the case and there's been no due process and i hope the other people who have been taken prisoner there will be a due process start after all has to be the example in any stable democratic society although just very quickly now that essentially again the regime is gone you have the m.d.c. at the forefront are you hopeful that they can actually. lead libya towards what
3:08 pm
they would call it towards a democratic society. the statements they've made are that that's what they intend to do have an elected government and have a normal democratic society they have very great tensions within the city and see there are very many competing on them and civility and see different political philosophies i hope those are played out in a democratic way and never under solutions except through all of the inclusion is offered to all those who are former members of supporters of the government as well as those that were opposed to it that has to be the way forward reunification otherwise the alternative is some ghastly descent into war with all the many armaments that there are there already in libya. thanks very much for your thoughts there talking to us live from london british m.p. jeremy corbin thanks very much again all right well let's cross live to the u.s. capital now for more analysis from the director of the antiwar answer coalition but
3:09 pm
for this record what's relievers are calling the killing of gadhafi a success and again the footage of the colonel's body has gone viral on mainstream media is gadhafi his death really a positive outcome for libya. no i think it's a terrible crime in fact i think this is the act of the nato powers the united states britain and france the former colonizers and slavers of africa who have carried out regime change in many countries. in the congo most that day in iran most a bitch in yugoslavia noriega in panama saddam in iraq they've done it again they've taken out the leader and replaced them with a new government which will be basically a nato client regime and i think it's a great tragedy for the people of libya ok looking at again those said the videos and the stills that we have been seeing there are so many of them now running repeatedly on the mainstream media when we haven't been shown a single one of some of bin ladin who's killed he was also heralded by the west why
3:10 pm
the difference those two situations well i think we know in the case of osama bin laden the united states had its own reasons it was fighting not only against osama bin laden but against the pakistan military in fact we don't really know what happened with osama bin laden presumably he's dead. why this video has gone viral it's possible that it's just gone viral but. moammar gadhafi would be alive today for one reason except for one reason and that is the nato intervention the nato bombing of sirte the nato bombing of cities in complete defiance of their own resolution resolution nine hundred seventy three that said that they were entering libya just to protect civilians it's been clear from the outset that they're killing civilians killing anybody who stands in the way of the real objective of the operation which is to carry out regime change ok and now that the leader of the media is not the n t c recognize so authorities there some of them were actually
3:11 pm
off the loyalists and there have been questions raised about their past filiation can't be trusted to leave the country forward. well i just want to put it into perspective again i don't think the n.p.c. really is the force in libya it is there for the time being at least it may be a transitional regime the real power in libya today is the united states britain and france the nato countries that carried out the regime change the us generals and admirals will announce as they are starting to that they have plans for nato to remain in libya as part of the transition to help the country recover to regain stability etc we see a nato takeover of a country that has the largest oil reserves in the entire african continent the ninth largest oil reserves in the world this is a coup d'etat by western powers against an oil rich african country and they are a transitional government as you said so at the end of this transitional period who is going to be sitting there well i think we don't we don't have
3:12 pm
a crystal ball we don't know with certainty of course but we know that the coalition is he collected it's not homogeneous it's got a lot of internal tensions but ultimately again as they said that whatever government comes to power in tripoli and in benghazi it will do so only if it has the favor the support of the british the french and the american so without knowing the personalities we know the big picture that the foreign occupiers the foreign invaders the foreign bombers who carried out this regime change will ultimately be the big player in the new libya ok now let's talk about the quickly to the question of libyan oil how do you see it playing out who is going to get how much of the oil the source of the country's going to go to which which country what do you think it's going to put in that playing out. i think it's quite clear in the imaginations of this operation that the n.p.c. set up shop with washington publicity firms and and lobbying groups that they were
3:13 pm
hosting meetings with the major tele and french british and american oil companies even back as there really is is june in washington d.c. i think there will be a reorganization of libyan oil the big we simply as the big winners here will be the major western oil companies who has airplanes bombed would be a for the past seven or eight months i think russia and i think china and i think others in the international oil world will be basically shut down because of their past association with gadhafi this is a reorganization of a very important oil market that's what we're witnessing right now thanks very much for your thoughts there live from the u.s. capitol the record and antiwar answer coalition thanks again. but of course we would like to know what you think about the death of colonel gadhafi and today we're asking you with gadhafi dead what happens to the again now that so far the most popular response is west started it will feel surrounded by chaos will emerge from years of painful and slow recovery calm second and some of you say the
3:14 pm
colonel's death will lead to a green zone in tripoli public info elsewhere only four percent say the election reforms have asperity you had to r.t. dot com castro. the greek lawmakers have passed a new round of austerity measures that have led to violent protests on the streets of athens between rival groups of protesters already say one person died while dozens were injured as more than fifty thousand demonstrators gathered in the city's main square outside parliament are further reports from athens. people like dan and me that very quickly also intact the slats we got. in the crowds we're not sure exactly what they're fighting off but everyone's just trying. to teach despite by the riot police. oh no truth bromides the director of the of the muscle did and maybe tomorrow before. i must know
3:15 pm
a lot of people that they wanted today to be peaceful once again guessing in the crowd this these things really got me shocking we seem to visions of months of protests and styles today everyone united completely in their opposition to the governor. trying oh no new political system of groups and. people here do you fill it stevie angry we see no anger reaching boiling point finally again here on the streets of athens. it's an extremely volatile situation that the rest of europe and the i think needs to be watching a ferry closely because this is it is a problem that affects great situation and thank you. all to northern cost of own our nato peacekeepers have unleashed tear gas and ethnic serbs pushing them away from a disputed border crossing the serbs have barricaded the area and the last of them as they still don't consider kosovo and independent country or does not have an
3:16 pm
option is there with all the latest for us now. we're now at the scene of the tensions of this ten talks between the soldiers ok for the nature that 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 our way to be called the riot police three of them behind this very case all as you can see 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 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 known 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 told in its institutions over the course of a over. the territory that the next to see as their heartland
3:17 pm
as an independent state they don't recognize also as 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 crowds and calling on that to disperse and threatening otherwise troops will be used and from time to time they are using these tools which is catholic as pepper spray this is something like a tear gas it has the same impact on human beings as the tear gas has but serbs are not ready to surrender as they say it's action themselves with masks using specially equipped to watch their eyes and they say they will be here until the very and as long as it is needed to protect their rise well from time to time the leaders of this service here are addressing crowds calling. to
3:18 pm
remain calm and peaceful as much as you can see the situation. this is very dramatic this is an absolutely no we situation and tensions very high and it's boiling. all the time last month when the case for 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. they could be large and the victims from both sides are his money from the ground in kosovo there and she's been updating us with all the latest on air and online as well so you can head to our twitter page for all the latest from her and you can also get all the new videos by our you tube channel . now we are moscow court has found the main suspect in the killing of russian

3:25 pm
conversation being present the bed of prime minister mark luke there concerned increasing energy cooperation between the two countries now this isn't just an empty 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 full cooperation isn't just some sort of theoretical 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 or the opportunity to help russia to discover and to drill its oil. which is located in the arctic in your mouth another area in which there is renewables the large companies are going to be lending their expertise in producing more noodles in russia at the moment rashid lagging behind other countries perhaps not reconsidering its reach or resources in terms of its renewables production in
