just after eleven pm here in the russian capital this is our team now let's 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 we have been looking at images of the fuel for the last few hours and it appears to be footage of the 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 one of gadhafi sons has also reportedly been killed in sirte the influential saif al islam his eldest son has reportedly been captured alive and again still details trickling through to us and while my doctor has ruled libya for nearly forty two years before he was ousted in august artie's 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 capital a far cry from when he assumed power in a bloodless coup in one thousand nine hundred sixty nine shiling 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 and strikes 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 duffy initiated a 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 shunning 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 peter all of a party. well let's get some analysis now from british champion jeremy corbyn a thanks very much mr corbin 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 but do you think that the libyan government forces would have wanted 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 as like a prisoner of war he should you're quite correct to be treated as a prisoner of war take. interviewed interrogated and put on trial and then the due process would have taken place and but it looks for all the television coverage i see was there was an element of mold rule in this and he was indeed killed in the back of a truck and this really does raise some questionable us 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

or 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 typical decent abuses in the past but there's an awful lot of an awful lot of irregular forces out there and one hopes this isn't going to be 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 me the libya's civil war is is over. i hope people means that the conflict is over i hope it means the guns that we have to get in there will be a national government and there will be all the accoutrements of a national government but i think the west needs to be caught careful here in part of a disaster and we would be creating. around the world. 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 libya and what exactly will their pretext be at this time now that the scenario has changed. i see no purpose or point to nato remaining involved in libya at all in the future what the basis of the nato involvement was united nations security council one hundred seventy three which all surprised a no fly zone this seems to be very liberally interpreted by nato it was a huge bombing campaign in which case it sets a great many targets that could be no justification for continuing the nato operation surely it's now a matter for the libyan people to work out their future that's after all is what nato kindy intervention was about i just wonder if it isn't also something to do with oil in arms and sales in the future. and just going back to how

gadhafi 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 bombed a loyalist convoy fleeing syria with gadhafi supposedly in one of the vehicles there again different scenarios playing out what it be convenient though to write the colonel's death off as collateral damage. it would be extremely convenient to do that i think the uncomfortable problem for that is that the wrist this footage of him apparently in the back of a truck in the town surrounded by a very angry mob the assumption i guess is the. he was killed by this mall sometime shortly after that the the convoy that was fleeing i don't know who was in who or what what that was about but then the chance he did claim last week there was a convoy in the desert the thing you. know maybe their intelligence was wrong at that point but he has been killed clear has been killed by a mob that also seems to be the case and there's been no due process no hope the

other people who've been taken prisoner there will be a due process not 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 they would call towards a democratic society. the statements they've made that's what they intend to do and they have an elected government and have nor a normal democratic society they have very great tensions within the t.n.c. there are very many competing elements within the t.n.c. and different political philosophies i hope those are played out in a democratic way and debate in democratic way under solutions acceptable to all the crucial 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 elements that there are there already in libya ok thanks very much for your thoughts there talking to us live from london british m.p. jeremy corbyn 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 brian becker mr backer western leaders are calling the killing of gadhafi a success and again the footage of the colonel's body has gone viral and mainstream media is gadhafi is death really a positive outcome for libya. no i think it's a terrible crime in fact i think this is the of the nato powers the united states britain and france the former colonizers and slavers about africa who have carried out regime change in many countries. in the congo in iran milosevic in yugoslavia noriega in panama saddam in iraq they've done it again they've taken out the leader and replaced him 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 we're 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 a song by bin ladin who's killed he was also heralded by the west why the difference in 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 of libya is not the n t c the recognized so authority there some of them were actually off the loyalists and there have been questions raised about their past the nation's can they 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 floors 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 u.s. 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 ok 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 a crystal ball we don't know with with certainty of course but we know that the coalition is eclectic 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 americans 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 then quickly the question of libyan oil how do you see it playing out who is going to get how

much of the oil resource of the country is going to go to which which country what do you think it's going to happen and put him back playing out. i think it's quite clear in the match nations of this operation that the n t c set up shop with washington publicity firms and and lobbying groups that they were hosting meetings with the major tele and french british and american oil companies even back as as early as june in washington d.c. i think there will be a reorganization of libyan oil the big recipients the big winners here will be the major western oil companies whose airplanes bomb 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.

capital director and again to your answer coalition brian thanks again. of course we would like to know what you think about the death of colonel gadhafi and today we're asking you will get off the dead what happens to me again now what so far the most popular response is a west guarded it will feel surrounded by chaos will emerge from years of painful and slow recovery comes second and some of you say the colonel's death will lead to a green zone in tripoli and kabul can flow elsewhere you know a foreperson say election reforms have asperity do have to r.t. dot com cast your vote. 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 authorities say one person died while dozens were injured as more than fifty thousand demonstrators gathered in the city's main square outside parliament r.t. sarah furthur reports from athens for people again to me back very quickly all syntagma square as we got. in the crowds we're not sure exactly what that's setting

off but everyone's just trying. to keep this back by the riot police are now aware that the ball rolling very true football is really follow much emma dreadful of the of the national defeat and maybe tomorrow before. a lot of people said they wanted today to be peaceful once again i guess the main reason the crowds this scenes here 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 hold all the political system of groups and vulnerable. people hit the fill it stream the angry we see now anger reaching boiling point high going 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 you. to northern kossovo now where nato peacekeepers have unleashed tear gas on ethnic serbs pushing them away from a disputed border crossing the serbs have barricaded the area claiming it will also them as they still don't consider kossovo an independent country. 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 ok 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 the riot list 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 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 and using loudspeakers addressing to the crowd and calling on that to disperse and threatening otherwise. 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 till the very end as long as it is needed to protect their rise from time to time the leaders of the serbs here are dressed in 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 are growing that it could be violent and they could be blood and victims from both sides. artie's many phenomena on the ground in kosovo there and she's
