surprise for it. is just after six pm here in the russian capital this is our now we start with libya where the late colonel gadhafi is most influential song has reportedly been captured alive by government forces saif al islam is said to have been apprehended while fleeing from the city of sirte where his father was taken and died from his wounds on thursday saif was widely expected to succeed that oppose a leader as the new head of libya before the country was gripped by civil war in february he's wanted for war crimes at the hague meanwhile libyans are celebrating the end of the as they turn a new page and their country's history but some are now questioning the official version of the colonel's death the u.n. human rights office even calling for an investigation at c.b.s. it archy's ivor bennett has more and his report
10:02 am
a few days of graphic bloody images of the colonel. 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 world came re sorry he died there. even by those who champion democratic justice. people in libya today have an even greater challenge. of building themselves a stroll 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 sisi for months is what even dissuaded from then shoot to kill policy agreeing in august they'll take him along thinking. god particularly for trial. in any case but i mean
10:03 am
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 barbaric into what i believe was a very barbaric operation from the start and as i say 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 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 gadhafi was still alive when captured but clearly didn't last long some suggest an execution and question why this is now being applauded hearing 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
10:04 am
such i've talked to people who dislike the graphic all this like the way he was killed they think that this tells you something about the moral of the so-called revolutionaries this news 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 there big tater or not has been reported with such jubilation 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 larder 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. . professor from bethlehem university things that nato has a long term strategy to establish a foothold in libya. definitely i think the u.n.
10:05 am
and human rights organizations should all push not only for investigation of the death of gadhafi and certainly the lynching of many other libyan members of the. support that. but also the bombings that inflicted in libya that destroyed so many of libya's infrastructure and also so many libyan civilians who died in the field was killed in the nato strikes me especially the united states which is leading in the scarce fields clearly interested in conventional libya long term and if they can get away with it i would say for decades that they would have given libya because very mystical core libya could change in libya in such a way to make it easier for reinstituting american base in libya which existed up
10:06 am
until now and in sixty nine to control drawing industry in libya. privatization would be a most hypocritical on the part of a u.s. because they also had a no why in gadhafi himself who collaborated with the cia and with the west for the past nine years or eight years all despite the colonel's death nato has yet to announce the end of its seven month long bombing campaign in libya and what started off as a mission to protect civilians quickly targeted a dictator what fallen out of favor with the west that often never lived to see his trial for war crimes at the hague and started going to check out 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 khadafi killed or captured sunni they captured scenario might have put
10:07 am
could off in the toppled egyptian leaders true or those of iraq's saddam hussein but a trial over colonel gadhafi you've no doubt feared even more controversy that they actually felt that it was very cool to see the for the big european players 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 official say ronald could doubt he was pulling out even a brain underneath the road in open country site near the city of sirte please don't shoot was allegedly heard at the site many when our similarities to the capture of saddam hussein he was 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 gadhafi was reportedly shot dead by a leader in transitional authorities not without the help of the u.s.
10:08 am
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 how was he killed. clearly i think what it. for external intervention and all of nato. pump unable to achieve their objective nato's view when 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 this. 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
10:09 am

10:10 am
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. . greek labor unions are threatening more strikes next week a day after the parliament passed a new round of austerity measures amid violent protests on the streets of athens over one hundred fifty thousand people came out in a two day national strike to voice their anger party sarah furthur is now in the greek capital for us. process has become a regular occurrence theory behind the five senses thing that's growing public anger because of us there's a what that means to the people here in the country has been cuts to their wages by
