and also this hour a russian soyuz rocket successfully makes its very first for north carrying europe's new satellite navigation system on its way to rivalling america's g.p.s. . and business investors are looking forward to be yours the bailout discussion will there be a relief we'll find out in business in twenty minutes. international news and comment live from moscow this is good to have you with us this hour libyans are celebrating the end of the colonel as they turn a new page in their country's history the interim government says gadhafi was taken alive in the city of sirte only to die later from wounds inflicted during his capture but someone now questioning that claim with the u.n. human rights office even calling for an investigation into gadhafi is death. bennett has more and his report contains graphic bloody images of the country.

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 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 get daffy be put on trial and t.c. fighters were even dissuaded from the shoot to kill policy agreeing in august they'll take him along i 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 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 night of operation but that's that's really what's been the outcome of it the backslapping has been fuelled by this gruesome footage of gadaffi his body splashed across headlines he needed 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 it clearly didn't last long some suggest an execution and question of why he's now being applauded fearing 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 the graphic this liked. the way he was

killed they think that this those are something of the moral of the of the so-called revolutionaries this thing is 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 death dictator or not has been reported with such jubilation the images have been labelled to reflect 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 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. . moscow's raise questions surrounding the circumstances of colonel gadhafi his death russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov says nato his role in the incident

should face scrutiny along with the alliance his entire mission in libya r.t. europe is going off has more. poor minister said that smaller qaddafi's regime has long lost its legitimacy but moscow will be pushing for an international investigation to be held looking into the circumstances of. his death since according to the videos published and spread across the world from libya show that the international war may have been violated since there are various international human rights conventions including the geneva convention which clearly state that all prisoners of war have to be dealt with special attention have to be provided with medical aid if they are in need of it and these videos don't really show if one want to go there if you was given this necessary assistance russia also says that it will be pushing for an international investigation looking into nato has

a role in this entire operation as well as 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 kano was attacked by nato planes and after that the rebels captured members of that convoy it has been repeated numerous times that nato planes are 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 i'm 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 it's not only russia but the united nations also wants to see an investigation to be held to looking into the circumstances off gaddafi is death definitely there are a lot of questions at the moment which need answering but russia also says that it

will be closely monitoring watching hell the situation unfolds in libya now hoping that the new of the eighty's will be able to build a proper effective political system in the country and finally bring peace to the libyan people. one of colonel gadhafi sons mutassim was also captured alive in sirte only to be declared dead shortly after libya's interim government claims he also died of his wounds but the latest video we're showing you now clearly shows that the late gadhafi smoking a cigarette as he leans against a wall and then he simply trade sprawled out on the floor completely lifeless well let's get some more reaction now on those latest developments there in libya with journalist and author returns he thanks very much indeed afshin for being with us here on r t now gadhafi is gone so is this the start of a new era for a free libya. a new era well if it's anything like what we've been seeing over the

past few days or like how hillary clinton put it in your headlines what sort of era is it going to be not of the nine hundred thirty s. economic crisis of we've seen world powers act like this i mean killing a prisoner of war is an international crime i presume the international criminal court will be hot on the heels of all those major leaders who are responsible for this because we've got to remember there were special forces were there there were special forces from britain and so forth with a busy trying to protect prisoners of war so how do you see the new era for libya what's going to happen now in the immediate future. well libya a very rich country relatively small population under gadhafi is rule the highest life expectancy of any country on the continent free health care system a educational system that meant free education right up to tertiary level had one

of the lowest in for mortality rates and one highest g.d.p. per capita is on the continent now that presuming your liberalism will be brought to libya or will be attempted to be broad because we've got to remember that there are also islamist factions there in libya as well we can assume that the libyan population will learn what it is to live in a capitalist country. so there are many who were saying they didn't benefit from your revenues that's after all in those areas which were close to all the gadhafi clown or indeed to tripoli and that was indeed the cause of this revolution and those of course are now saying this is a new start for them but are you seeing that there's going to be a lot more violence now retribution between those who oppose gadhafi and those who supported him and if that's the case shouldn't nato carry on with its presence there. well nature is there on the u.n. resolution ninety seventy three and if there are going to be threats to civilian populations surely they should still be there i think is the russian foreign

minister implied so gay lover of implied that resolution was completely abused by the united states and its allies they would be a united nations resolution passed for quite a while that implies any sort of force i would assume now as china and russia will realize that they have to veto resolutions that even slight resolutions at the u.n. security council as for the future of easy nato won't be there but a new military force of the bretton woods institutions for western oil companies seeking concessions that will then have to look at the terms of the deals but i presume the terms of the deals we will companies will be rather better than they were under gadhafi and i also assume that lots of other contracts or will have been done certainly the head of the national transitional council and his deputy said they intend to resign shortly and presumably they'll take good jobs let's quickly talk about the nature of these deaths the human rights office is now calling for an

investigation in the way he died also the u.s. saying they would like an account are they just making what they seem to pretend to be the right sort of words in the right questions every step do they really care. bit late for the united nations human rights council in the beginnings of this war they relied on media reports and i hope to get on to the media manipulation of the war because they should have been relying on u.n. fact finding missions the u.n. human rights council report will no doubt be delayed and we'll see what happens as to what the americans think we saw what the u.n. would be u.s. secretary of state thinks about the killing of prisoners of war and as has been said many times at least on some channels i'm going to tell you that on the mainstream media no one is saying that nato and its allies wanted to get off the dead one which is him dead and one safe al gadhafi who we don't know where he is at the moment they want him dead to they don't want him talking about his deals and he

tried to turn his father's legacy what message does this send to other leaders under pressure i'm thinking of course of assad in syria i think the message is clear around the world to any dictator get lots of w m d and there will get a free hug only blair and gave up his weapons of mass destruction the moral is the international forces i should say to national forces because all around the world is being viewed very differently nato and our allies and those in the us or germany will say will be saying look if you don't have the b.m.d. we will we will contravene any internet or we will use whatever means necessary for our economic interest just finally see it's a transitional government interim government when do you expect to see elections

conducted in libya under the banner of democracy. they said two years i think we're already seeing rather dangerous problems occurring in egypt at the moment as the united states seeks to show some power there. be no doubt that the americans and european powers will be desperate to ensure the elections go the right way they have for more than this of course because they didn't allow algeria to have free elections so those elections two years i don't know where it takes two years organize elections in libya i guess population a country that's the population of london maybe maybe it's a postal ballot that's always all interesting to hear your thoughts afshan actually returned to live there in london thank you very much indeed for joining us here on r.t. . other news now 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 and one hundred fifty thousand people came out in a two day national strike to voice their anger knotty sarah firth is in the greek capital. process of becoming a regular occurrence very very behind the five sensing growing public angry years of austerity what that means to the people here in the country has been cut to their wages by around thirty percent in most cases on top of that. the cantons the public spending unemployment here in the country is cripplingly high and we see in the emergence of a new generation of homeless these measures these things have affected everyone here in great oh i've been. here almost that good. and us to our young and. old survival of the nation of the people who fight peacefully because we want our lives calm by.

the young and the rose and people from all walks of greek life joins the today protest largest greece is seen since the crisis began one of the most violent to be sure if i'd prefer a far it's but it wasn't to be the anger once again boiling over with fights breaking out not just with the police but amongst the protesters from cells british society is facing a social disaster for the past two years we've received austerity package after austerity package people are beyond third breaking point we cannot stand it anymore . here's an leaders had announced an agreement an arrestee policy would be decided as a nice summit this week and that's now been pushed back missed internal disagreements yes nother play to the credibility but they continue to say that they can provide

a solution. so what when people are going to becoming poorer and poorer they're seeing public sector services hospitals schools universities they are facing an extreme deterioration of their living state of their living conditions and it's not just the protesters with an appetite for change they the vag was eventually passed some top government officials did a pays one opposition member saying he'd paid for the nation it was 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 at the pressure t. for the riot police involved in these events. 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 but once more they had to take to the streets to piss by

protesters even days he wanted to make their point peacefully the rest of europe in the area they need is going to be watching this very closely because this isn't just a problem that affects great it is a situation that affects the entire euro zone you can see what the people in the country right now are willing to go through to have their voices heard the people here are going to have to wait a while longer if anyone to now be ready to listen. let's talk more on the greece and eurozone debt crisis with economic analyst and author michael ross he's in berlin the greek parliament has passed new austerity measures but when it actually be able to implement them considering those intense protests we're seeing from what looks like the majority of the population there in greece. i mean economically they have to put in these authority measures but austerity measures always hard hearted people the people have to suffer no. for the from the

mystics their politicians made in the recent years they had a big party everybody saw it coming exact the people know they have to pay their price and the price will be very very hard i hope that greece will not fall apart or goal into radical solutions but michael can you quickly explain why you think austerity measures are necessary surely austerity measures actually restrict economic growth and that's what you need at the moment. you know about bending over debt you have no idea not any of those choices. but to install a society measurements so i mean if your neighborhood is over debt and you want to . help him is it a solution to give him more money or is it not a better solution to see that is neighbors helping you served by restructuring is that and seeing that he had made some mistakes greece's neighbors who want to keep

on giving out yet more money we see many of those eurozone members miffed at the fact that having to bail out those economies that's been propagated but therefore would it be better just to throw grace out of the eurozone. this is totally not possible at the moment i think many economical advise us have a wrong view on it the only one who can pull out of the eurozone is germany germany has to pull out and that would produce a grade three leave along the southern hemisphere if greece for example would pull out there would still have to get in euro and that means that the new greek currency will devaluate and the euro debts will be still there they will appreciate it so they're in double trouble if germany would pull out they need would be the other way round you have a relief in the zone and germany itself could live with a higher currency so you suggesting that is the actual solution for germany to pull out of the euro zone in effect for the eurozone to collapse. in my opinion it's

a solution but germany cannot politically do this if germany would do this it would mean more or less adik liberation of war and everybody knows that because they need germany they need the savings of germany in order to make the euro survive and that what brussels is doing and planning now is nothing else and nothing less than why much to create a second but printing money in the central banks all samy central banks like e s if s.f. and that means at the end that we will have an inflationary tendency and it will end in a hyper inflationary supernova like we hated it already in germany in one thousand nine hundred twenty three and this is what also german politicians at the moment realize and this is also the reason why did it so difficult to find a common solution in order to cope this crisis so therefore let's division there's

no unity amongst the politicians in europe isn't it the politicians fault this is happening rather than the bankers and big business. i mean at the end of the day it's a politician's fault the euro is a bully is a result of politicians is a political where you will to create this car on this common currency but the fact they did a vos ill constructed and it couldn't work right from the beginning was clear what was clear right from the beginning now we are numerous everybody saw it coming it is very very difficult at the moment to solve this. problem in my opinion you can only divide the euro take the northern countries and the southern countries and you create kind of northern europe but this is not course who wants to wants a power having the ural means having power and they don't want to loose a power sold we will go all into this boat and then the boat will sink and we will

all go under after one or two years or so is that what you're predicting for the outcome of this eurozone leaders meeting on sunday in brussels although they won't actually say it reading between the lines you're saying we're all going to be jumping onto a sinking boat and there's actually no solution at this is this is exactly this what they wanted i mean it's another question if germany could survive alone if they pull out of the euro but on the other hand everybody knows that this boat is already a sinking town nick is sinking and the orchestra is still playing this is a situation that we have of the at the moment you cannot solve a debt crisis by producing more debt at the end everybody will be drowning everybody will go under and this i see coming in one or two years you're in the eurozone but also in america because of our debt it's a gloomy picture you paint but it's still good to talk to you thank you very much michael ross economic analyst and author talking to us live always a pleasure to talk to you thank you. well europe has successfully launched some

good news from european health is actually successfully launched its first satellite navigation system into space using a russian soyuz rocket as a carrier the satellites will later become part of galileo and that's a system promising to rival america's g.p.s. technology not daniel bushell witnessed the launch from the space base in the tropics a historic moment for russia's space program with the first takeoff of the legendary soyuz launch in the west despite torrential rain which began just five minutes before liftoff everything went perfectly as planned there were cheers from the crowd as they watched the rocket roys into the sky it was second time lucky with the launch postponed for twenty four hours after the european side reported a minor valve problem in its ground operation just a few hours before liftoff europeans here have been full of praise for the hundreds of russian engineers who've worked through the night to make sure everything goes

well it caps over a decade of unique oshie ations to get so used to it spaceport here in french guyana in the middle of the south american rain forest they've cleared one hundred twenty hectares of jungle so the soyuz can recreate as exactly as possible the conditions that it's like an old base home to so many successful soyuz launch is it comes as the united states retires much of its space launch program meaning that the world increasingly relies on russia and its work it launches for travel it's been an exciting time for many foreigners who get to see the celebrated launcher close up for the first time. well that was our correspondent daniel bushell there reporting from french guyana we've got the business news coming up shortly but first let's check out some world news in brief this hour just as poured into the cross syria after friday prayers calling for the end of president assad's regime and cheering the death of former libyan leader moammar gadhafi the princess at least eighteen people were killed after security forces opened fire trying to
