ten am in moscow i met très a good to have you with us here on r t our top story libya turns a new page in its history following the killing of ousted dictator colonel moammar gadhafi he was apparently shot dead in a crossfire during an assault in his hometown of sirte as it was overrun by the forces of the new government but footage of khadafi dead and broken body was so graphic some are wondering why it was broadcast for the public to see artie's ivor bennett takes a look. at. these frenzied moby's it bounces far as it gets from a trial at the hague. to the death of gadhafi is now being cheated around the world . even by those who champion democratic justice. here in britain salute your

courage and while we are proud of the role that we played to help we know this was your revolution from your bravery you showed the world you would get rid of any cager you would use freedom a long way from cameron's insistence that get daffy be put on trial in d.c. fighters were even dissuaded from a shoot to kill policy agreeing in august they'll take him alive i don't think you've got a particularly fair trial. in any case but i mean nevertheless the what is basically i guess a kind of summary execution of what may well have been a summary execution is a kind of fairly barbaric into what i believe was a very barbaric operation from the start and as a side you know this was no this was never supposed to be about regime change this nato operation but that's that's really what's been the outcome of it the backslapping has been fueled by this gruesome footage of gadhafi his body splashed across headlines pleaded for the world and the people power is not going to be put

back here in libya thanks to the u.s. and its nato allies this video shows gadaffi was still alive when captured but clearly that didn't last long some suggest an execution and question why this is now being applauded he was assassinated third after he was caught one that this is a very handy else crime against one that man and the other public will see it as such i've talked to people who dislike or dislike the way he was killed they think this tells you something about the moral of the so-called revolutionaries this fees also shared by many on twitter there are several posts here already concerned about the coverage questioning the need for such graphic images and why did they take her or not has been reported with such just. elation the images have been label terrific this tweet says the b.b.c. wouldn't have used the images for anyone else and other suggest channels are having a competition sally bercow a prominent activist in the u.k.

says she sees where the same wasn't done for bin laden back then a bomber refused to release the images saying it could incite more violence or be used as propaganda but for gadhafi the vultures are too quick to bennett's r.t. . nato is now expected to declare an end to its bombing campaign in libya it was aimed at protecting civilians but critics say the alliance orchestrated the operation to capture gadhafi and wanted him dead rather than in court many libyans are celebrating the death of a dictator and western leaders hellinger transition to democracy but as r.t. has gynae to shit here on reports that may not be inevitable. hillary clinton on a surprise visit to tripoli. a day before the killing of the ousted libyan leader where she was quoted as saying the u.s. hopes to see khadafi killed or captured soon raise the captured scenario might have put could off in the topple the egyptian leaders true or those of iraq's saddam

hussein but a trial over colonel gadhafi would have no doubt steered even more controversy it theirself got that he was very cogent forward to figure appealing powers for the u.s. if you went to the hague you would spill the beans about all the dirty deals there are to stuff a real politic between the west in a developing country like libya nobody wanted that maybe an transitional government official saying i'm going to die he was doing adding a grain underneath the road in open country site near the city of sirte please don't shoot was allegedly heard at the site many point out similarities to the capture of saddam hussein he was discovered in a small underground pool concealed next to farm buildings near his own hometown date but unlike sadam who was captured alive by u.s. forces colonel gadhafi was reportedly shot dead by a leading transitional authorities not without the help of the u.s. and american defense official claimed a u.s.

predator drone along with a french fighter jet hit could alfie's convoy thursday morning as they were trying to escape effectively handing them over to the lead in forces on the ground there are still unanswered questions about what happened to the colonel qadhafi how was he killed. clearly i think water. for external intervention and all of nato. rubbles and. pump and they both to achieve their objective nato's u.n. mandate was to protect libyan civilians but it quickly became to get rid of gadhafi and prop up a government which is now in power only thing. the support of the allied forces and i think we'll see. not a new democracy in libya but a new reorganization of the libyan political and economic. institutions to the benefit of those who brought the national transition council to power it will be for the benefit of the united states oil companies for the benefit of the british

and the french and perhaps the italian oil companies they're the big winners here in the meantime western leaders are celebrating leave us transition to democracy they're proud of what the libyan people and i think we've got an enormous opportunity ahead of their got a lot of challenges as well but we have now given them the opportunity to do told the world just what the u.s. president did not mention in his celebre toy speech was stories of leading unskilled the needle strikes widespread violations of human rights are reported in today's league there is no water. there is no. medication even oxygen in the hospital they don't have the situation into it. because i see that i can assure you. if you say. to the city no spirits it is disaster it's a catastrophe. is now brimming with weapons experts seeks premiss of most

likely gotten their hands on the vast former east left on tainted eggs for levy a transition to democracy the people who are now in power there have not been chosen by the libyan people and many libyans fear that when the time comes to vote the choice will have already been made for them i'm going to check our reporting from washington r.t. . international consult. the killing of khadafi will only see a change from one dictatorship to another. now that gadhafi that i'm very worried first of all about the fate of the libyan people they were now this comes from the chains educated ship for number one a neo liberal nato led dictatorship i'm worried that libya will now become a bridge for the for the conquest of africa actually the first steps have already been taken obama recently sent some advisors so-called advisors 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 emotion when the people celebrate the demise of the state they will soon find that they've changed for another one. led by people who. will former ministers from khadafi they have interests that they already from the so much of the economic assets to other countries too from 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 stay with us here on r t still ahead historically watch all the hours to go before europe's first ever sat nav system launched into space aboard a russian soyuz rocket. occupy wall street movement fast becoming

a profitable brand in itself or he finds out he was using the financial instability to make a quick buck. but first greece wakes up this morning to a new age of austerity parliament passed a fresh package of pay cuts and tax hikes in an attempt to stave off bankruptcy a decision that met with a violent unrest in the streets of athens as reports. processer become a regular occurrence theory behind the five senses thing that's growing public anger is of a star say what that means to the people here in the country has been cut to that wages by around thirty percent in most cases on top of that. the pensions the public funding unemployment here in the country is cripplingly high within the americans of a new generation of homeless these measures winning these things have affected everyone here in great. athens. here almost up to the

hour. and to us to our young and. old son five one of the nation of the people who will fight peacefully because we want our lives calm by. the young and the rose people from all walks of life to institute a protest the largest squeeze to seen since the crisis began one of the most violent sure footprints very far it's that it wasn't to be the anger once again boiling eva with fights breaking out not just with the police but in the us the protesters themselves greek society is facing a social disaster for the past two years we've received austerity package after austerity package in the name of the crisis people are beyond their breaking point they cannot stand it anymore. using leaders had announced an agreement an arrestee

policy would be decided as soon as the summit this week and that's now been pushed back in its internal disagreements yes now that played to the credibility they continue to search and said they can provide a solution so work when people are going to becoming poorer and poorer they're seeing public sector services coup. hospitals schools universities they are facing an extreme deterioration of their living their living conditions and it's not just the protesters with an appetite for change they the vait was eventually passed some top government officials did a pays one a position and the saying he'd think that in a business juggling with functions he's not the only one speaking to police major to the protests at the start of the month told me at the pressure teeth of the riot police involved in these events you know. it is very hard to describe the feelings of the policeman because there are two

a social and professional group who are suffering by the economic measures to government has to take sometimes it is really hard for them to take part in these protests as working people that's one small they had to take to the streets to protest is even though he wanted to make their point the rest of europe in the areas they need going to be watching this very closely because this isn't just a problem that affects great the situation it affects the entire usa you can see what the people in the country right now willing to go to have done everything for the people here are going to have to wait a while longer to see if anyone's now be ready to listen. there's always more news a click away at r.t. dot com here's what's online for you right. here of remembrance for holocaust. survivors of nazi atrocities. spent seventeen days on

a remote island in icy waters was held as russia's only robinson crusoe now it's supposed to be a fraud how that happened. along the disputed serbia kosovo border ethnic serbs protesters clashed with nato led peacekeepers trying to dismantle their barricades care for troops resorted to tear . gas and pepper spray to disperse a crowd while armed transport vehicles moved in to remove the roadblocks dozens are required treatment for gas inhalation some and other injuries serb set up the roadblocks in july when kosovo customs and police began to install their own border control talks failed to reach an agreement on the removal of the barricades despite a deadline being extended twice serbian political analyst alexander package claims the serbs in northern kosovo made concessions to broker a peaceful solution to the crisis but were still attacked by the peacekeepers. they're not going to stop now that's for sure it's just

a matter of who will be more stubborn the serbs who are defending their own land or the nato forces sent here from who knows where the serbs have tried to negotiate they've even they've even tried to give concessions in the sense that they're willing to let supply convoys pass and supply the nato troops what they're not willing to do is allow albanian so-called customs officials from taking the border between call civil and the rest of serbia and this is something that they're not going to back away from so this is why we can expect more conflict because obviously nato is acting as the infantry of. the government in pristina there isn't going to be any membership that's the biggest issue of all i mean it's does anyone think it's realistic for a place like also to be part of the i mean two thirds of the heroin coming from the understanding to europe those two possible it's a place with the highest crime rate probably in the world and the capital of arms

human smuggling human organs smuggling in trafficking this place would never get into the e.u. and the e.u. obviously has no plans of including serbia there either so you know this is just a game it's just the membership is just being used as as a means of extra extracting concessions from belgrade and of giving the albanians normal average albanians the illusion that they're actually going to get something down the road when it when it would be much easier for them to just come to peace with their serbian neighbors. remember you can follow the reports from our correspondent in kosovo maria if an ocean is twitter feed on line with the very latest updates from the troubled region. and in just a few hours a russian soyuz rocket will blast off from french guiana bringing europe's first ever sat nav system into space the launch was first set for thursday but had to be pushed back a day because of fueling problems or he's daniel bushell reports on how the high hopes of the e.u. lay in russia's hands. engineering change russia's soyuz rocket

has taken a monumental step in the country's space program as it comes down to its first launch outside the former soviet territory it marks a new high for russia's space ambitions as well as providing additional funds for the country to invest in the next generation of space travel by far the most valuable lonely feeling in the world and i must say that. we we're glad to assure you would hear from from treasury at soyuz uses a lower cost than the extremely efficient model of construction which has successfully put over seventeen hundred rockets into orbit for more than any other launch of european space chief say they've been impressed with the way it's built rational system very simple and effective it's a very good way of design not a fall croix from its sister sites in russia's north and the steps of kazakstan

this space and the soyuz have had to be specially adapted to handle the challenges brought up by the tropical climate but the benefits are clear the earth rotates for stay here by the equator giving an ideal catapult effect on takeoff and almost doubling the payload that the rocket can lift being a superstitious industry packed with quirky traditions some things remain exactly the same a piece of rock has even been taken from the launch pad in north where russia's pioneering cosmonaut yuri gagarin left to become the first man in space and built into this site the first mission for soyuz is to launch two satellites of galileo a new e.u. satellite navigation project designed to roybal the american g.p.s. system politicians also think it can launch a new partnership between europe and russia they may use a country actually contributes to industrial scientific and technical corporation for example and the airspeed. what is important stop on the way to raising the

level of quality of our business ties and diversification of the structures with russia's being trusted with the world's space programs because of its own royal track record dating back over half a century america's g.p.s. has enjoyed a monopoly on the world sat nav market till now with soyuz also behind russia's also to g.p.s. known as lunes competition in the sky is about to get just a little more crowded r.t. french guyana. remember what happened that launch live here on our t.v. set for ten thirty g.m.t. . then you hear a european space partnership. the future of the european summer like navigation system. on board the world's most reliable space vehicle. the soyuz rocket is gearing up for the first ever blast off from a forward base. the landmark launch. life on.

to me now to some other stories making headlines across the globe the basque terrorist group says it's in. its campaign of bombings and shootings spain's leader called the move a victory for democracy law and the reason since the group now calls for direct open talks with spain and france about independence the separatist group killed eight hundred twenty nine people in spain or the last forty years. when israel and president hu go chavez claims he's in excellent health and free of the cancer he's battled for months chavez address supporters in the venezuelan town of la stressing his victory over cancer means nothing to keep him from running for reelection next year fifty seven year old is still largely popular at home after twelve years in power but criticism from local. bangkok is braced for surging floodwaters with people heading for higher ground on news the thai capital

is about to be swamped the prime minister calls it a national crisis saying measures will be taken for a controlled release of the water that's built up in the north of the city since the start of heavy rains in august more than three hundred people have died thousands left homeless across the country. dozens of protesting students who occupied a senate meeting in the chilean capital santiago have left after getting promises of change students demanded a referendum on ways to revamp chile's education system an opposition lawmakers promised to prevent present a proposal demonstrations have continued for several months to demand free public education. in this news block finally a time of financial instability some could be making extra money and find it to be a lifesaver that's why the occupy movement in the u.s. is seizing that aki to return to by becoming a brand or. takes a look. could the occupy wall street trademark be on its way to becoming

a successful business trick companies big and small have been swarming to the encampment like bees to honey there are over three thousand items of occupy wall street merchandise pins t. shirts and even an occupier's hygiene kit starting at twelve bucks a pack of vailable for purchase on e bay. fresh supply some nato sauce floats around and pepperoni and occupied meat pizza. a neighborhood special sold a few steps away from where the camp is set up by me with the money oh my god she's just been very pristine ultrahigh they just wouldn't touch the regular pies are twenty two dollars the occupy pizzas arm sale at fifteen bucks this pizza looks good but let's find out if they have the truth takes up revolution so we have it for pete's sake here and it's cold and occupied people. i just don't think i just read on t.v.

like he. appears a little greasy but i can tell you the potential of change and it's polled revolutions are cold. if you got out at the masters it's a slight victory to get here is my preference as my protesters don't seem to mind that businesses are using the occupy wall street name to stir up sales part of the reason why this movement is so successful is because people in business you know people who theoretically profit off the sexploitation are also what happy with the way things are working they see everyone is just trying to keep afloat in a terrible economy that's an ampersand yeah i guess we're going to be trying to make their own minds i mean i just don't think we need families i don't know keep your doctor turned out mom and pop shops are using the name of the movement to make sales while yeah people make it a couple of bucks here and they're not into compared to the goldman sachs. far too few have much too much and so many have so little is exactly why the protesters are

out here with a little help from businesses spreading the word. party. business up next with dimitri stay with us here on r.t. . morning and welcome to business r.t. the markets in russia have opened mixed we'll look at them in just a second first of all president medvedev has called on the e.u. not to impede energy corporation between russia and europe with internal directives the push comes of following his talks with the dutch prime minister market in moscow and it's over medvedev said the e.u.'s energy package hinders gas link ups the package demands a separation of production transportation and sales of energy it could affect russia's gas giant gazprom which is producing and selling gas medium event it says his business considerations that should be guiding decision making in brussels. that are good to goodness you're going to show up in the energy field everything is

good will be good but you certainly e.u. directives do not interfere with the development of full scale cooperation we hope that when taking such a decision business will be a priority for brussels. french retailer or so is dishing out millions of dollars on new stores in russia the company is looking to significantly expand its retail network but it's not the only one other international chains like walmart are also the russian market but orszag believes the only competition are local supermarkets. we want to do you look towards all city with more than five hundred thousand people living and we want to develop three formats store osho i.p.o. market. nashar to go. development of should be six to ten stores new stores every year two to three new cities. one hundred fifty million dollar and two hundred million dollars but the main

competitor in the rush are russian retailer x five and magnet looking very fast they are improving every year who ways are doing the business. we feel that the russian computer we are facing in russia are very proficient and we saw very interesting strategy maybe that's why also international computer reluctant or not school fast to enter as a russian market. so you look at the markets always struggling for direction ahead of a crucial euro zone meeting crude prices of little impact for the death of libyan leader moammar gadhafi although it could lead to an earlier than expected restoration of movie as well exports by its leaders up half a dollar this hour at eighty six dollars fifty two cents move just stocks in asia they are trading in narrow ranges abbesses are anxiously awaiting this weekend's summit which is expected to finalize a rescue plan for european while financials are on the rise in hong kong after

year they rose by an average of six percent the highest in europe plus all the top managers working in russia according to the group got bonuses compared to only sixty percent near a number of large russian companies have promised to increase salaries this year's burbank is considering adding twenty percent top managers wages as for your opponents of the limited by the success of a company and by legislation. their lives are next on r.t. .
