the reason our me at the ball is that free libya with some further to get off these last minutes raises questions over how it was left at the mercy of an accident not . look can. we greeks greet a new era of eye watering carts with a night of chaos following parliament's yes to a sturdy mushers the stave off a debt default. of the nato peacekeepers use tear gas and pepper spray gets ethnic serbs to remove the barricades of the disputed border into northern possible. just after two pm here in the russian capital you're watching r t a libya was turning a new page in its history following the killing of ousted dictator colonel moammar gadhafi has very little has been delayed after the u.n.

called for an investigation into how he died and off he was reportedly shot in a crossfire during an assault on his hometown of sirte but the footage of his life was a broken body was so graphic some of wondering why it was broadcast for the public to see about that takes a look. this frenzied mob is about as far as it gets from a trial at the hague. but the death of get their feet is now being cheered around the world yes we came we saw our god. but even by those who championed democratic justice. here in britain we salute your courage and while we are proud of the rule that we break down we know this was your revolution from your bravery you show the world you would get rid of any cager do you or choose freedom a long way from cameron's insistence that gadhafi be put on trial n.c.c.

find his way even dissuaded from a shoot to kill policy agreeing in august they'll take him alive i don't think you've got to be fair trial. in any case but i mean nevertheless the war is basically i guess a kind of summary execution of what may well have been a summary execution is a kind of fairly top american to what i believe was a very proper operation from the start and as a side you know this was not this was never supposed to be about regime change this night of operation but that's that's really what's been the outcome of it backslapping has been fuelled by this gruesome footage of good that he's body splashed across headlines pleaded 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 that death was still alive when catch it clearly that didn't last long some suggest an execution and question why this is now being applauded he was assassinated after he was caught when the this is

a very handy else crime against one that none and the arab public will see it as such i've talked to people who dislike free or dislike the way he was killed they think this tells you something about. more of the so-called revolutionaries this fuse also shared by many on twitter there are several posts already concerned about the coverage questioning the need for such graphic images and why did they take her or not it's been reported with such jubilation the images have been labelled horrific this tweet says the b.b.c. wouldn't have used the images for anyone else another suggestion also having a competition sally bercow a prominent activist in the u.k. says she sees where the same wasn't done for bin larder back then obama refused to release the images saying it could incite more violence or be used as propaganda for good afy the vultures are to quick to bennett's r.t.

. let's get more on this now from our william engdahl joining us live from germany mr angle with this new development the news of gadhafi being killed does this mean a peace in libya. i don't think good all that means peace what we're seeing is the gruesome next chapter in what's going to be a mob rule in that country of different tribal groups competing for power and all. this was predictable from the beginning when the pentagon started training moves and activists and secretly arming the insurgents back over europe all of them so i think libya is in for a period of a horrendous chaos after the needle bombing of what parts of libya back to the stone age this is not at all an old one for justice and democracy in. our lives just talk about the the digits we're being shown now rather world now the u. un human rights council they want to probe into the circumstances of his death what

do you think about will achieve. well at least it puts the pressure on the so-called traditional transitional national council i think this is a case of cold blooded murder of a man who was wounded and certainly wasn't going to go anywhere and the way it was not understood was just gives an idea of what the moral values are of this new regime in libya and it's certainly not a step forward a step backwards probably of following that line of thinking that what do you want to man do you think an investigation into the civilian deaths caused by nato bombing as well as the conflict inside well i think the u.n. should demand that if they if they're at all are they concerned with the human values they should demand that exactly because the civilian deaths that have taken place from the nato bombing and not not so much from qaddafi's activities or cut off his troops. that according to eyewitness accounts from journalist friends of mine it's just been horrific ok that this certainly has taken one path the result

right now gadhafi being killed is this what people had been gunning for to begin with or would have rather seen him in court. i don't think they wanted him in court frankly because. things would have come out about. us activities and things would have come out of libya that nato wasn't particularly eager to have come under the spotlight so for them it's interesting you know all these are criminals who are opposed to the pentagon. come to a court trial and then suddenly die. before they get a chance to have justice or whatever but i don't think they want to cut off the country or ok now at this course the whole world is watching but we're certainly the arab world is certainly keeping a close eye on what's happening in libya and when they see blood on the hands of both nato as well as the new government spiders what kind of signal could this be

sending to other countries under dictatorship coming both from western powers as well as armed armed groups or rebel groups well that's that's entirely unclear at this point i think it sends a signal that a bunch of gangsters are running libya and it's not at all clear whether it's one bunch of gangsters or several rival countries or gangsters that are under the so-called traditional transitional national council t.n.c. so i think the rest of the arab world is going to be quite cautious in dealing with this with this new entity called if you haven't you quickly move you call all of them gangsters or would you also give merit to the fact that they are being labeled as revolutionaries. what does a word mean when the u.s. sponsored billion dollars in arms and special forces training into these so-called rebels i would call them revolutionaries what kind of revolution are they advocating and i was just very quickly made it was not expected to declare an end to its bombing campaign in libya how long do you think they will say that because

earlier they had said that they will remain until the n.c.c. you can ensure stability what do you think will be just very quickly oh i think that's going to be a little bit like iraq and afghanistan they're going to be there quite alone probably this is this is part of a pattern that we see you have established in permanent made or u.s. military bases in these in these crucial strategic areas to control the oil resources and to militarily be positioned. to do other things cut off oil supplies to try and win various things like that ok thanks very much for your insight there author after we are all talking to us live from germany thank you thank you. now many libyans are celebrating the death of a dictator and western leaders are hailing a transition to democracy as art is going to take on reports that may not be the next step for libya. hillary clinton on a surprise visit to tripoli days before the killing of the ousted libyan leader where she was quoted as saying the u.s.

hopes to seek out the killed or captured sunni they captured scenario might have put could off in the toppled egyptian leaders truth or those of iraq's saddam hussein but a trial over colonel gadhafi no doubt feared even more contradicts their stuff that he was frequenting sure the big european players for the u.s. if you went to the hague you would spill the beans of all older dirty deals there are this stuff for real politics between the west in a developing country like libya nobody wanted bad media and transitional government official saying ronald could tell he was soon 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 whole crew sealed next to farm buildings near his own hometown but unlike sadam who was captured alive by u.s. forces colonel gadhafi was were portably shot dead by 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 alpheus 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 through growing up about the how was he killed the guy. clearly i think. for external intervention and all of nato. balls and bring. him up unable to achieve their objective nato's the 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 things. the support of the allied forces and i think we'll see. not a new democracy and libya but a new reorganization of the libyan political and economic. institutions for the

benefit of those who brought the national transitional council to power it will be for the benefit of the united states oil companies for the benefit of the british and the french should perhaps the italian oil companies they're the big winners here in the meantime western leaders are celebrating legal strands ition to democracy without putting a single u.s. service member on the ground we achieved our objective with the us president did not mention in his celebrated maurice speech was schools would leave the unskilled the needle strikes widespread violations of human rights are reported in today's legal there was no water. there is no. medication even oxygen in the hospital they don't tell you the situation in syria. because i feel i can assure you that if you swim. through the city no spirits which is disaster and super thirst for free. libya is

now brimming with reference experts seeks premiss of most likely gotten their hands on the vast former east left on tended as for libya's transition to democracy but 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. . and still ahead for you this hour a historic a launch just a few minutes remain till gurps first ever sat nav system is launched into space aboard a russian soyuz rocket right now on your screen you're looking at live pictures from the launch pad invented by anna final preparations are taking place. greek unions are threatening new strikes and protests against a fresh package of tax hikes passed by parliament on thursday where the government's attempts to stave off bankruptcy were met with

they're seeing public sector services coughing cost. schools universities they're facing i think strength of the ration of the living state of their living conditions it's not just a phrase has is with enough to take it change the debate is eventually because some top government officials did applies when a physician member saying he thinks that the nation is now struggling with his conscience he's not the only one speaking to police major after the protest at the start of the month told me that the pressure to get the riot police involved in these events you know. it is very hard to describe the feelings of the policemen because there are two a social and professional group suffering bravely comicon others to the government has to take and sometimes it is really hard for them to take part in these protests is working people but once more they had to take to the streets to protest is even the days he wanted to make their points peacefully the rest of europe and the i

think it's going to be watching this very closely because this isn't just a problem thanks great situation the fact. that you can see what the people in the country right now are willing to write that half. the people here again have to wait a while longer if anyone from now it's be ready to listen sir. of course you can get more of our t. on our website r.t. dot com here's a look at what's waiting for you on the line is the view of the numbers for holocaust victims in a little radio but the country is accused of hunting down the survivors of nazi atrocities. and how a russian man who spent seventeen days on the remote island in icy waters and was killed as worthless on robinson crusoe now seems to be a fraud tony what happened at r.t. it's all caught. on the a disputed serbia kossovo border protesters clash with nato led peacekeepers who

are trying to dismantle their barricades. groups resorted to tear gas and pepper spray dispersed the crowd transport vehicles moved in to remove the roadblocks doesn't require treatment for gas inhalation and somehow or other injuries subset of the robots in july when it cost them customs and police began to install their own border controls the talks failed to reach an agreement on the move and the barricades despite a deadline being extended twice certain political analysts and it's not published claims the serbs in northern kossovo made concessions to broker a peaceful solution to the crisis but were still attacked by foreign 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 for who knows where the serbs have tried to negotiate there even though 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 albanian so-called custom officials from taking to the border between call civil war 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 prishtina there isn't going to be any membership that's the biggest issue of all right i mean it's does anyone think it's realistic for places like kosovo to be part of. two thirds of the heroin coming from understanding to your opposed to possible it's the place with the highest crime rate probably in the world and the capital of arms human smuggling or human organ smuggling and trafficking this place would never get into the 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 a means of it for extracting concessions from belgrade and giving the albanians normal average albanians the illusion that they're actually going to get something down the road when it really would be much easier for them to just come to peace with their serbian neighbors. as you remember you can follow or correspondent in cost of all media financial news twitter stream is online for the very latest developments in the troubled region. around ten minutes our russian soyuz rocket will blast off carrying europe's first ever system into space we were looking at looking at live pictures from the amazonian the basin where it's seven am local time well you can see right now what the sawyer's is on a launch pad a european base in a french guyana and it's carrying the first satellites for the galileo project that's in europe spy point four billion euro answer to america's g.p.s. a lot was initially suffered thursday but had to be pushed back twenty four hours

a very good way of design look a far cry from its sister sites in russia's north and the steps of kazakstan this space in the soyuz have had to be specially adapted to handle the challenges they are taught 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 the north were russia's pioneering cosmonaut yuri gagarin left to become the first man in space and built into the site the first mission for soyuz is to launch two satellites of galileo a new e.u. satellite navigation project designed to rival the american g.p.s. system politicians also think you can launch a new partnership between europe and russia the way you are
