that successfully makes its very first foreign a lot of terror europe's new satellite navigation system on its way to rival america's g.p.s. . is just south of four pm here in the russian capital and this is r.t. now libyans are celebrating the end of colonel gadhafi as they turn a new page in the country's history the interim government says the colonel was taken alive in the city of sirte only to die later from wounds and flipped out during his capture but some are now questioning that claim with the u.n. human rights office even calling for an investigation to get off his death r.t.s. ivory bennett's has more. this frenzied mob is about as far as it gets from a trial at the hague. but the death of gadhafi is now being cheated around the
8:02 am
world came re sorry that he died there. even by those who champion democratic justice. people in libya today have an even greater after this news of building themselves a strong and democratic future i'm proud of the role that britain has played in helping them to bring that about and i pay tribute to the bravery of the libyans who've helped to liberate their country we will help them we will work with them a long way from cameron's insistence that gadhafi be put on trial and to see fighters were even dissuaded from the shoot to kill policy agreeing in august they'll take him along i don't think you've got a particular 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 and who i believe is a very barbaric for. ration from the start and as i say you know this was not you

this was never supposed to be about regime change this motive operation but that's that's really what's been the outcome of it the backslapping has been fuelled by this gruesome footage of god that 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 get there he 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 fuse 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 gadhafi is their
8:04 am
big tater or not has been reported with such jubilation the images have been labeled horrific this tweet says the b.b.c. wouldn't have used the images for anyone else another suggestion to having a competition sally bercow a prominent activist in the u.k. says she sees where the same wasn't done for bin ladin back then a bomber refused to release the images saying it could incite more violence or be used as propaganda for gadhafi the vultures are too quick to bennett's r.t. . politics analyst and author f. william and all things the apparent lynching of gadhafi at the hands of a frenzied mob paints a bloody prospect for the future of libya. 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 done was did was just gives an idea of what the moral values are of this new new
8:05 am
regime in libya and it's certainly not a step forward what we're seeing is is the gruesome next chapter in what's going to be a mob rule in that country in different tribal groups competing for power in oil control and this was predictable from the beginning when the pentagon started training these these activists and secretly arming the insurgents back over your abilities and so i think libya is in for a period of renders chaos after the nato bombing of parts of libya back to the stone age so this is not an old one for justice and democracy by any means. well despite the colonel's death the nato has yet to announce the end of its seven month long bombing campaign in libya what started off as a mission to protect the civilians quickly targeted a dictator what fallen out of favor with the west well gadhafi never lived to see his trial for war crimes at the hague and as our reports he could simply have been worth more dead than alive to the alliance. 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 see could off the killed or captured the captured scenario might have put could offer in the toppled egyptian leaders true or those of iraq's saddam hussein but a trial over colonel gadhafi would have no doubt feared even more controversy there stuff that you those are very congenial sure to figure communicators 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 levy and transitional government officials say colonel could die if he was cornered 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
8:07 am
discovered in a small underground pulled concealed next to farm buildings near his own hometown but unlike sadam who was captured alive by u.s. forces colonel qadhafi was reportedly shot dead by a leader in 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 leader in forces on the ground there are still unanswered questions about what happened through. the how was he killed. clearly i think what are the. for external intervention. all of nato. 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 thanks to the support of the allied forces
8:08 am
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 libya's transition to democracy without putting a single u.s. service member on the ground we achieve our objectives what the u.s. president did not mention in his celebre tori's speech was scores of leave guinn's killed a needle strikes widespread violations of human rights are reported in today's libya there is no water. there is no. medication even oxygen in the hospital they don't have the situation in syria.

because i've seen it i can assure you. if you send your news through through through the city you know it's it's it's disaster it's a catastrophe. libya is now brimming with weapons experts sakes premiss of most likely gotten their hands on the vast former east left on tainted f four leaders 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. well the news of moammar gadhafi is death shook the world raising many questions while we talk will be on the answered issues on our website r.t.e. dot com now colonel gadhafi the father of eight children one of them has now been officially confirmed dead but where are the others find out our deep dot com. and also online for you the man responsible for the murder of

still ahead for you this hour a legendary launch joint effort and your upset its very own satellite navigation system into space but the use of a russian so he is wrong. turns a little greasy but i can trace a potential change in it plus the occupy wall street movement caught becomes a solid base for business owners rushed to make a bomb on the popular track. the commander of nato led peacekeepers in kossovo has warned serbs to remove their rope loss from the disputed serbia cos of a border threatening to use force to lift the blockade well tensions remain high as k. four troops. leach tear gas to disperse the crowd pushing it back from the border crossing dozens were injured with some required treatment for gas inhalation serves have been blocking the road since july to stop possible from extending its control over the part of the country populated mostly by ethnic serbs talks failed to reach an
8:15 am
agreement on the removal of the barricades that's the spite deadline to be extended twice serving political analysts a mix of that pov which claims the serbs ignored 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 for 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 supplies the nato troops what they're not willing to do is albanian so-called customs officials from taking the border between pulse of on 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
8:16 am
a membership that's the biggest issue of all i mean it's does anyone think it's realistic for fourth place like also to be part of. two thirds of the heroin coming from against them into your profile should it's a place with the highest crime rate probably in the world you know the capital of arms human smuggling human organ smuggling and trafficking this place would never get into the and the who obviously has no plans of including serbia there either so you know this is just a game it's just membership is just being used as a means of it for 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. and you can get all the latest updates straight from kosovo from our correspondent just follow the if an option is twitter stream for

launch in the west very much hoped for by russia's space industry that this will boost the reputation even further of russia as the world's leading space country now america for example is retiring its rocket some of its loric rocket launchers and they were loyal to russia for example to take astronauts to the international space station so really this is the rebirth and the expansion of a russian space industry. will get funds to invest in the next generation of space travel it also gives many advantages for here on the equator as we've heard you can almost double the payload due to the fact that it's quicker here on the equator the we do expect everything goes smoothly throughout the day we will be monitoring all goes on from the control room. we will bring you updates. all right well let's check some other world news in brief now washington has one pakistani leaders that

8:23 am
a slight victory because here's my theory 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 people who the radically profit off this exploitation are also happy with the way things are working they see everyone is just trying to keep afloat in a terrible economy. you know i guess we're going to be trying to make their own minds i mean i just don't. i don't know keep your doctor turned. mom and pop shops are using many of the movement to make sales while yeah people make it a couple of bucks here and there 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 to do a little help from businesses spreading the word. and in a few minutes i'll be back with the headlines but first the business update with.
