the missing link the u.n. calls for an investigation into the death of colonel gadhafi after gruesome footage and the media fails to pinpoint exactly when. the ousted libyan leader last night. we came we saw. the group as western leaders cheered the colonel's demise claims emerged that they're secretly relieved that gadhafi won't be spilling the beans about his previous dealings with the u.s. and its allies. labor unions call for more protests in greece as the parliament approves. amid mass chaos and violence across the country. but also reporting that a russian soyuz rocket successfully makes its very first foreign launch. satellite navigation system on its way to rivalling america's g.p.s. . and business leaders seem to be closer to a deal to continue crisis but look there's

a few miles from the plane that was in business in terms of minutes. international news and comment live from moscow this is the libyans are celebrating the end of the old 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 cheering his capture but some are now questioning that claim with the u.n. human rights office even calling for an investigation into his death but he's on the bennetts has more and his report contains graphic images of the kind of. these frenzied mob is about as far as it gets from a trial at the hague. the death of gadhafi is now being cheated around the world.

yes we came we sat he died. even by those who champion democratic justice. people in libya today have an even greater chance 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 deathy be put on trial in d.c. fighters were even dissuaded from the shoot to kill policy and bring in all this bill taking the line i don't think it is a god. 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 barbaric into what i believe was a very barbaric operation from the start and as

a side you know this was not this was never supposed to be about regime change this nato operation but that's that's really what's been the outcome of the backslapping has been fuelled by this gruesome footage of kidnappings bodies 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 gadaffi 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 crime against a one hundred man and the other public will see a part to people who dislike of roughly all this like the way he was killed they think this tells you something about the moral of the so-called revolutionaries this is also shared by many on twitter there are several posts here already concerned about the coverage. seeing the need for such graphic images and why bapi

death big data or not is being reported with such jubilation the images have been labelled her ific this tweet says the b.b.c. wouldn't have used the images for anyone else another suggestion as to having a competition sally bercow a prominent activist in the u.k. says she sees why the same wasn't done for bin laden back then obama refused to release the images saying it could incite more violence or be used as propaganda but for good afi the vultures are to quick bennett's r.t. . was raised questions surrounding the circumstances of colonel colonel it appears death and russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov says nato's role in the incident should face scrutiny along with the alliance his entire mission in libya what is even more. poor minister said that smaller qaddafi's which jean 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. 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 aid and these videos don't really show if one want to go that he was given this necessary assistance russia also says that it will be pushing for international studies and looking into nato was 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 macondo was attacked by nato planes and after that the rebels captured members of that convoy has been repeated numerous times and they took

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 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 maybe achieve 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. to be held to looking into the circumstances of his death definitely. questions that 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 words will be able to build a proper effective political system in the country and finally bring peace to the

libyan people. europe is kind of reporting there and one of colonel gadhafi is sons would pass him was also captured alive in sirte only to be declared dead shortly after libya's interim government claimed he also guarded his words but the video we're about to show you now we can see here that he clearly shows it does in fact clearly show that the gadhafi casually smoking a cigarette as he leaves against a wall and shortly afterwards he was super trade sprawled out on the floor completely lifeless but let's get some more reaction now from london based journalist and spokesman for british civilians for peace in libya so chandan so the colonel and one of the sons of both dead what sort of message is the nature of their demise sending out about the n.c. seize control over its troops and indeed its reputation. no there's no there's no you know there's nothing new to this everyone has known since the inception of this

nato inspired facilitated uprising that the rebel factions are a motley crew of people who whose only basis for working together is the overthrow of the coffee's regime there's nothing new for this and one thing but the media is not talking and if you look closely at the videos i've seen two videos of the of the lynching off and on my gadhafi and in both videos in one in which you see a tied up black libyan black man in the back of a pickup truck just meters away from from from gadhafi being lynched in another video there's a strange picture of another tied up black rather black man on a pickup truck of the problem for the rebels tried and vertical poles being paraded around the city so here we have normal gadhafi who for to the last in his hometown where he was born in a tent with these these these these black brothers i mean so where is the black liberation army where is the army in africa like and saying if these these these dogs people in libya and other people are resisting nato so these rebel factions

have always been white supremacist arabs in alliance with white supremacist nato as world and the message they're trying to send out with this lynching of moammar gadhafi and your piece was absolutely right they wouldn't actually ever show anything similar in relation to white people or the soldiers of nato or the mystery that is there we just ask you that clearly we've seen many many celebrating the victory of the fall of the gadhafi regime and his death and we've seen of course many people risking their own lies for a cause for that change in regime are you actually saying then that this wasn't people driven at all and that these people were prepared to risk their lives just for nato and for western interests. when you are a revolutionary leader of the global south you and i mean when you nationalize your oil when you redistribute your wealth when you when you build your country up to be the country with the highest livingstone's in africa inevitably those forces which are against that development internally and internationally will oppose you and so

these rebel factions have always been in alliance with the european powers against gadhafi this changed in the last six or seven years when libya had a real personal with the west and also in the reform program see all these rebel factions all of them were receiving money from gadhafi in the reform process in the last six seven years i can you know i can name you names of the m.d.c. leadership that was receiving money that one part of the john maria regime that were part of the political coloration of gadhafi and you're a reporter herself. mrs of the national reporters from tripoli that no one dare say anything that isn't pro nato or poor red pro-rebel if you criticize out for the nato let alone show sympathy will gadhafi you will be you will be threatened with imprisonment or worse and just last week we had an uprising in tripoli where. people came out in the poorest district in tripoli and a firefight ensued so where is your right but this is

a civil war inspired by nato but i can't say that everyone is supporting we've got to finish but just very briefly should gadhafi have faced trial in libya or indeed the hague rodman meet the demise that we've seen just very briefly a fact. gadhafi could offer you what happened to gadhafi is what gadhafi wanted could offer is i don't know which ones to fight in the trenches against neocolonialism i'm going to tell you so so so he died as he wanted a martyr says one of the great us markets all right we'll leave it there thank you very much you can china joining us live in london. now the news of monograph he's dead shook the world raising many questions and we tackle the unanswered issues on our website r.t.e. dot com the developing there has put an end to the eight month standoff but as the new libyan government celebrates the untold numbers killed in the conflict cast a dark shadow over their victory learn more at r.t. dot com. also on live feed the suspect responsible for the murder of a football fan last year which part violent protests across the russian capital now

faces life in prison those stories in r.t. dot com. the. 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. sarah ferguson the greek capital. process has become a regular occurrence theory behind the fights this thing that's brewing public anguish because of us there's a lot that means that the people here in the pantry have been cut their wages by around thirty percent in most cases out of about five five cantons the public.

unemployment here in the country is crippling a high within the americans of a new generation of homeless these measures really peace things have affected everyone here in great. i can live. on. that. and i think. it's enough both survivors of the nation of the people who can fight peacefully because we want our lives. the young and the o's people from all walks of quick life to institute a protest and largest squeezes seen since the crisis began one of the nice violent true thought police referrals but it wasn't just the kangaroo once again pulling eva with fights breaking out not just with the police but amongst the protesters. rick 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 they cannot stand it anymore. using leaders had announced an agreement on a rest if policy will be decided as nice summit this week and has now been pushed back in its internal disagreements yes no other play to the credibility they continue to search and see if they can provide a solution. so what people are going through are becoming poorer and poorer they're seeing public sector services coughing hospitals schools universities they're facing up i think stream deterioration of the living state of their living conditions and it's not just the face test is with an appetite to change the debate was eventually passed and top government officials did applies when a physician member saying he thinks that the nation is now struggling with this clown sions he's not the only one speaking to police major after the protest at the

start of the month tell me that the pressure today for the riot police involved in these events you know. it is very hard to describe the feelings of the policeman because there are two a social and professional group who are suffering very very comical measures that the 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 hispanic playtest is even days he once it's make their points piece play their best and yet in the i think needs to be watching a fairly closely because this isn't just a problem that affects great situation it affects the entire you know you can see what the people in the country right now are willing to take a friend to have that point to. the people here are going to have to wait a while longer see if anyone from now be ready to listen.

barack obama has ordered all u.s. troops to leave iraq by the end of the year the president made the expected announcement on friday paving the way for some thirty nine thousand americans to finally leave the country after more than eight years in action when it's get some reaction and analysis now from the director of the u.s. institute policy studies phyllis bennis joining us live in washington well all these years since the toppling of saddam hussein sectarian violence and terrorism has persisted in iraq but now washington thinks that baghdad can indeed fend for itself so clearly the outlook is good now for the country. but i don't think that this decision had anything to do with whether baghdad can quote defend itself i think this was all about the political pressure on both president obama and prime minister maliki who are the united states this is a huge victory for the anti-war movement that has successfully transformed the discourse in this country from a very supportive population of this war to

a population that now over seventy five percent say this war is not worth fighting and the troops should be brought home immediately that's been the case for some years now and it's taken this long to transform this course change into policy change you say victory by political ends of the announcement yes i just want to pick you up on this it was a victory because. you're saying victory for the antiwar movement but is that really in the interest of the iraqi people because the iraqi government has said it wanted more troops to stay on and help provide security so in effect washington is actually a band without the other it. no the the issue is does the iraqi government represent the interest of the iraqi people i would say no the parliament of iraq which is far more representative has made very clear they do not want any u.s. troops left in iraq the government of prime minister maliki which is afraid that the government quote may fall without the backing of u.s. troops has wanted the troops to stay so has the obama administration they both are

stuck with anti-war populations that want the war to end for maliki the issue was he couldn't get away with providing immunity to the u.s. troops in case of war crimes for obama he couldn't get the iraqis to say yes we will give you immunity in case of war crimes without immunity they were not prepared to stay because the pentagon knows that their troops commit too many work runs in these situations so for both presidents it's not exactly what they wanted for both people i think it is exactly what is needed the u.s. troops occupying iraq were not able to bring safety and security to the people of iraq their withdrawal is not going to bring safety and security by itself but it sets the stage for an iraqi solution to the ongoing crisis rather than a solution that was imposed from outside and was fairly well short of lessons will be learned from iraq when we're now looking at libya push the fall of gadhafi

regime troops perhaps being needed then. the troops were not needed in iraq the troops did far more damage in iraq then they help the people of iraq that will be the same in libya i hope that the message to live the lesson from iraq to libya is don't occupy the country don't send u.s. and nato troops to in the guise of training in the guise of support in the guise of something else occupy the country that makes everything worse not better i hope that's the lesson this country my government does not have a history of learning historical lessons very well so i hope that they will change that with a professor in the white house maybe there's a chance that for a change we will be able to learn a lesson for once so what is there beyond should help a country in transition hands off policy let the country deal with its own problems

when clearly in many cases we see the black hole that's a country. well it's a question of how you define what is dealing with its own problems most countries are not given much of a chance to deal with their own problems there's a huge problem in libya that everyone now is armed that was not true before this uprising that took up arms it is true now it's something a new libyan government is going to have to deal with the current libyan authorities the so-called transitional national council the t.n.c. has very little legitimacy at home it was appointed it has the backing of the u.s. and nato and a bunch of other governments russia bunch of other governments but it doesn't have a lot of support at home for representing more than eastern libya and benghazi there have been problems with the militias stating explicitly particularly the very tough militias from misrata and from the southern mountains enough with the mountains who were the main ones who took over control of tripoli they've said very

explicitly and publicly we do not believe that we are accountable to the transitional national council how they are going to balance all those competing interests how they're going to integrate for example the people of sirte the city that was the last to fall to the anti gadhafi forces which was of course the home city of moammar gadhafi have many supporters of the duffey among the population but all of this is millions have fled the fighting there are coming back to find their city has been devastated by nato bombing and by the looting and burning of their homes by people from the anti gadhafi militias so how they are going to now be integrated into a new government is going to be a very very difficult problem how to deal with the problem of racism which has become a massive challenge inside libya where dark skinned libyans and black sub-saharan africans are being targeted across the country being accused falsely of being

mercenaries of gadhafi and facing beatings in some cases facing. execution by various militias and other forces so i think that they face a huge set of challenges but those challenges will be made worse not better if they also have to deal with a u.s. and nato occupation of the country in the interest of oil contracts in the interest of maintaining a foothold in the midst of the otherwise increasingly independent countries of the arab spring some very interesting observations and i thank you very much indeed live from the u.s. capital director of the institute for policy studies phyllis bennis thanks for time . europe a successful launch its first satellite navigation system into space using a russian soyuz rocket as a carrier the e.u. made satellites will later become part of galileo and that's a system promising to rival america's g.p.s. technology what is daniel bushell goodness to launch from the space space in the tropics. a historic moment for russian space program with the first takeoff of the

legendary soyuz launch in the west despite to ritual rain which began to spoil minutes before liftoff everything went perfectly as planned there were cheers from the crowd as they want to look at rois into the sky it was second time lucky with the launch postponed for twenty four hours the european side reported a mine of problem and 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 over a decade of uni goshi asians to get so used to it spaceport here in french guiana in the middle of the south american rain forest they've cleared one hundred twenty years of the 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. increasingly relies on

russia and its look at 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. that was our correspondent daniel bushell there reporting from french guiana well let's check out some other world news in brief in our example for them to the streets across syria after friday prayers calling for the end of president assad's regime and cheering the birth of former libyan leader moammar gadhafi reports said least twenty four people were killed after security forces opened fire trying to disperse demonstrations in the cities of hummer and ongoing uprising in syria started in march and it's claimed the lives of an estimated three thousand. washington with want to pakistani leaders that they would act unilaterally if necessary to end the militant threat us secretary of state hillary clinton said the country will face serious consequences if it continues to tolerate safe havens for extremist groups relations between the two nations deteriorated after the u.s.
