the truck. business the russian market saw a rally on friday as european leaders were working closer to a deal to contain the european debt crisis more in business in twenty minutes. just after seven pm here in the russian capital this is and we begin in libya where the late colonel gadhafi is most influential son saif al islam has reportedly been captured while trying to flee the country libyans are celebrating the end of the colonel as they turn a new page of their country's history well the interim government says gadhafi was taken alive in the city of sirte only to die later from wounds inflicted during his capture but some are now questioning that claim with the u.n. human rights office even calling for an investigation into gadhafi is death bed it has more than just one year his report contains graphic bloody images of the
11:02 am
colonel. this frenzied mob is about as far as it gets from a trial at the hague. for the death of gadhafi is now being cheered around the world yes we came we saw our he died there. even by those who champion democratic justice. people in libya today have an even greater chance of to this news 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 deathy be put on trial and t.c. fighters were even dissuaded from the shoot to kill policy agreeing in august they'll take in the law and i don't think you've got a particularly fair trial. in any case but i mean nevertheless the what is
11:03 am
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 site you know this was no 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 is being fueled 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 gadhafi was still alive when captured clearly didn't last long some suggest an execution and question why this is now being applauded he was assassinated 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 of roughly this liked. the way he was killed
11:04 am
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 labeled 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 ladin 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. . or moscow's also raise questions surrounding the circumstances of colonel gaddafi is death russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov says nato is role in the incident
11:05 am
or should face scrutiny along with the alliances entire mission in libya. the footage shown on t.v. proves that he was captured alive and wounded and after that he was killed later there were reports that a convoy carrying the colonel was attacked by nato planes and after that the rebels captured members of that convoy but it has been repeated numerous times that nato planes only have a u.n. mandate to ensure a no fly zone over libya and the convoy wasn't posing any threat to civilians on the ground and could be a legitimate target so nato actions pose a number of questions as well alliance members also stressed that when they began the campaign in libya the goal was to protect civilians and not to get rid of gadhafi but now they're saying different things saying they've achieved their goal in libya although the u.n. security council never set out with such goals. and i well let's get some analysis now from professor of international law dr i'm a salama us live from cairo mr a salaam while the u.n.
11:06 am
wants a program to be kernels death how difficult do you think it will be to date a clear account of events what will be the biggest obstacles. actually i would like to call. the geneva conventions in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine and the whole principals norma's customs of humanitarian to the international law i think killing the deliberate killing. killing of a captive a captured either people die because of who are. civilian. relation food for humanitarian international law which is the flow of what we saw on. national channels and you are on the table china there actually is a very shocking he is he is compelling actually unexpected behavior of the come but it doesn't represent it does the division muslim
11:07 am
customs of war nor the. dignity and the humanity that's why i would like to call for. the second reality n.p.c. itself head there is the responsibility all of the civilian i mean political and military elements practicing the law of the sea. are responsible and held accountable for the chain of command prove that this is a book that subordinates the. deliberate orders of the the scandal happened they must be held responsible in addition to the the soldiers or the militants the rebels themselves i mean. mr saddam i just
11:08 am
also want to follow up on you know we heard russian foreign minister questioning n.a.t.o.'s role in the death of gadhafi the alliance intervene in libya under a u.n. mandate as we know to protect civilians do you think it has been operating within the legal boundaries of that mandate. they're meant to from the very beginning claimed. they. wanted actually in many circumstances and situations to deviate from the security council resolution. one thousand seven. hundred seventy three which provides the protection of civilians what i would like to confirm in this is that from the very beginning it has been reported that the rebels the army that it was the comment the. violations again this the captives i mean again is the prisoners of war they tortured them they held them deliberately and that's why the
11:09 am
need to unfortunately and expected lee give a blind eye to all of the put gratian zulfi such violations of international law we should not forget the undeniable fact that the rebels of the allied for the need to the nato is the ally to the rebels and concerning what happened yes i mean killing of. those. was under this is really our command and under the all of the need to travel the need to comment even. if that's why he claimed that the nato also. some sort of stability i mean joy and criminal enterprise responsibility would be in d.c.
11:10 am
. thank you very much there for your thoughts we have live from cairo professor of international law doctrine salama thanks again. horrible despite of the a 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 civilians quickly targeted a dictator with fallen out of favor with the west but off he never lived to see his trial for war crimes at the hague and. 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 soon 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 of no doubt steered even more controversy to their
11:11 am
stuff that you those three countries sure 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 libyan transitional government official say burnell could doubt 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 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 lead 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
11:12 am
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 unable 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 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 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
