the bennetts has more and his report contains graphic bloody images of the kind. this frenzied mob is about as far as it gets from a trial at the hague. i put the death of gadhafi is now being cheated around the world came. 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 gadhafi be put on trial and t.c. fighters were even dissuaded from then shoot to kill policy agreeing in. all

because they'll take him alive i don't think you've got particularly for a trial. 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 i say 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 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 here was assassinated thought after he was caught when the this is a very handy else crime against one that man and the other public will see

a such i've talked to people who dislike roughly all this like the way he was killed they think 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 dead dictator or not has been reported with such jubilation the images have been labeled her ific 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 and 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 raised questions surrounding the circumstances of colonel gadhafi his

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 your opinion of more. poor minister while 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. these deaths 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 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 convoy 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 got a fuse 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 those days will be able to build a proper effective political system in the country and finally bring peace to the libyan people. europe is going of reporting there and one of colonel gadhafi his sons would pass him 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 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 soon portrayed sprawled out on the floor completely lifeless well let's get some more reaction now from london based journalist and spokesman for british civilians for peace in libya chandan so the

colonel and one of his sons are both dead what sort of message is the nature of their demise sending out about the control over its troops and indeed it's reputation. so there's no there's no 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 gadhafi regime there's nothing new to this and one thing that the media is not talking and if you look closely at the videos i've seen two videos of the of the lynching of moammar 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 the from gadhafi being lynched in another video there's a strange picture of another tied up black rather black man on a pickup truck look for a rubber was tried on vertical poles being paraded around the city so here we have

mormon gadhafi who fought 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 that can save these these these dollars can people in libya and other people 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 so the message that is let me 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 nationalized 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 to report 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 in 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 pro-rebel if you criticize at all the nato let alone show sympathy with gadhafi you will be you will be threatened with imprisonment or worse and just last week we had the uprising in tripoli where program off the or nato 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 i can't say about everyone is the point we got to finish but just very briefly should gadhafi have faced trial in libya or indeed the hague rather than the meat the demise that we've seen just very briefly did he does a. good offer gadhafi what happened to gadhafi is what gadhafi wanted gadhafi is an animal which wants to fight in the trenches against neo colonialism and are going to nato so he so he died as he wanted a martyr as chavez says one of the greatest martyrs or it will leave it there thank you very much you can china joining us live in london. now the news of mumbai got a few death shook the world raising many questions and we tackled the on on some

issues on our website our teed dot com that gadhafi has put an end to the. eight months as the new libyan government celebrates the untold numbers killed in the conflict cast a dark shadow over them. dot com. the suspect responsible for the murder of a football fan last year which violent protests across the russian capital now faces life in prison those stories of. 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. in the greek capital.

process has become a regular occurrence theory behind the five senses thing that's growing public anger eight years of a star say what that means to the few people here in the country has been cut to their wages by around thirty percent in most cases on top of that. the pensions the public spending unemployment here in the country is cripplingly high and we seen the emergence of a new generation of homeless these measures really these things have affected everyone here in going. after. almost up to that good. and us to our young and. old sort of five one of the nation of the people who will fight peacefully because we want our lives. the young and the people from all walks of quick life to end the today protest

largest police a scene since the crisis began one of the most violent referred police very far it's it wasn't to be the anger once again boiling over with fights breaking out not just with the police but amongst the protesters themselves greek 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 an arrestee policy would be decided as nice summit this week and that's now been pushed back in its internal disagreements yes now the play to the credibility they continue to search instead they can provide a solution. so what we people are going to are becoming poorer and poorer they're seeing public sector services collapsing hospitals schools universities

they're phasing out i'm extremely at the ration of their living state of their living conditions and it's not just the protesters with an appetite for change the debate is eventually passed some top government officials did a pays one a position then the saying he thinks that the nation is now struggling with his conscience he's not the only one speaking to police major after the protests at the start of the month tell me that the pressure teeth of 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 a professional group who are suffering by the economic measures to the government has to take sometimes it is really hard for them to take part induce protests as a working people but once more they had to take to the streets to place that protest is even days he wanted to make their point peacefully the rest of europe and the i think it's 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 eurozone you can see what the people in the

country right now are willing to go to have their voices heard the people here are going to have to wait a while longer see if anyone can 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 well let's get some reaction and analysis now from the director of the u.s. institute policy studies phyllis bennis joining us live there in washington while 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 enough for the country. well 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 for 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 all be brought home immediately that's been the case for some years now and it's taken this long to transform that discourse change into policy change you cite a victory by the limitations of the announcement yes i just want to pick you up on this it was a victory because you had your say a victory for the antiwar movement but is that really in the interest. of rocky people because the iraqi government has said they wanted more troops to stay on and help provide security so in effect washington is actually a band without the others it's. 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 that 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 any iraqi solution to the ongoing crisis rather than a solution that was imposed from outside and was fairly. sort of lessons will be learned from iraq when we're looking at libya 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 the live the lesson from iraq to libya is don't occupy the country don't send the u.s. and nato troops to in the guise of training in the guise of support in the guise of something else occupying 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 what's so what is then the answer to 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 self 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 who some mountains who were the main ones who took over control of tripoli they've said very explicitly have 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 gadhafi among the population but all of the civilians have fled the fighting there coming back to find that 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 gadhafi 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 has successfully launched 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 witnessed the launch from the space space 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 voice 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 mine a 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 cuts over a decade of a unique oshie ations 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 hector's of the jungles 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 to get to see the celebrated launch a close up for the first time. that was our correspondent daniel bushell there reporting from french guyana well let's check out some other world news in brief and all this hour protests for them to the streets across syria after friday prayers calling for the end of president assad's regime and chairing the death 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 and how mark the ongoing uprising in syria started in march and is
