violence across the country. but also reporting this hour russian soyuz rocket successfully makes its very first foreign launch carrying europe's new satellite navigation system on its way to rivalling america's g.p.s. . international news and comment live from moscow this is. 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 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 of a bennett has more and his report contains graphic bloody images of the colonel.
3:02 pm
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 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 basically i guess a kind of summary execution of what may well have been
3:03 pm
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 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 fuelled by this gruesome footage of god that his body splashed across headlines pleaded for the world and 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 that 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 rafi paul this liked. the way he was killed they think that this those are something of the marlowe to of the so-called
3:04 pm
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 daffy's death dictator or not has been reported with such jubilation the images have been labeled her if this tweet says the b.b.c. wouldn't have used the images for anyone else and other suggestions are 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's role in the incident should face scrutiny along with the alliance his entire mission in libya r.t. europe is kind of has more. poor minister said that smaller qaddafi's regime has
3:05 pm
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 as he was given this necessary assistance russia also says that it will be pushing for an international investigation looking into nato 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
3:06 pm
there were reports that a convoy carrying the colonel 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 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 as not only russia but the united nations also wants to see an investigation to be held to looking into the circumstances of the other fees 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
3:07 pm
the new 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 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 you're seeing right now clearly shows the late. smoking a cigarette as he leaned against a wall and shortly afterwards he was betrayed sprawled on the floor completely lifeless well let's get some more reaction now from war correspondent eric margolis joining us live on his webcam in toronto so the colonel and his son were taken alive but quickly ended up dead at a convenient ending or did they deserve a fair trial. i think they deserve a fair trial i can't think how they would have gotten one in libya but they should have it's a terrible way to end
3:08 pm
a regime that's very common in the middle east but it's wrong and one is immediately reminded of the old tyrant saying from the caribbean men tell no tales because. he and his family had a lot of tales to tell of foreign involvement and the fact that though he was always portrayed as a great devil he also played a lot of footsie and hanky panky with the western powers you question whether you would would have had a fair trial in libya a trial perhaps in the hague would have been possible but there again for the very reasons you just said that's probably a very good reason why the international criminal court wouldn't have put khadafi on trial well that too when he would have raised the question will wait a minute what wages could duffey even though everybody loved to hate him lots of other dictators around that also had crimes on their records why should they need to take the trial so certainly this was the convenience and for
3:09 pm
khadafy and his family if the revolution over now. it's all over for the time being however i believe that based on my understanding of the time i spend in libya and even was. the tribal nature of libya the fact that it only became a really unified country in one nine hundred fifty one and in the regional disparities in libya are certainly going to be grounds for future tensions starting right now because you're fighting or we're to bury him and and who's really really trying hard not be all these these different groups now we were all together but one thing and that was a trick of khadafi let's got underway there you can redirect their anger at each other. with your experience of libya obviously the west and indeed be seen hillary clinton applauding this as a great victory for the future of the country and indeed we see many libyans
3:10 pm
themselves of course celebrating this next chapter is it really what the people want we're getting many analysts saying no this isn't what people want it's what later wants what the west wants but surely this was exactly what those people of libya wanted to have a regime change a lot of libyans are celebrating their delighted to see the end of the he was in power slaughter to one. cause greater damage on the country's economy you know if he had adopted a more western oriented development course capitalist market thing instead of his is crazy arab socialist schemes oh he to libya today would probably look like dubai the united arab emirates still well developed it's still africa's broadly most developed and well off country but serve those who are the libyans will be missing him his tribal groups who to large about twenty percent of the country will miss him and i think after if things chaos ensued and some political instability
3:11 pm
there's a lot of people looking back on in libya. fira. changing we're back so you're actually predicting political instability yes we have an interim government a moment m.t.c. and they are promising democratic elections in the near future so why wouldn't that pave the way for stability never in the history of libya has there anything been anything beginning with there were the for democratic right back to roman days. this is going to take a long time to develop anything in any way nobody really cares about democracy in libya what they care about is all business contracts and arms contracts from the new libyan government and so we're seeing the traditional nato powers france britain and italy who have a store colonial interests in north africa are reasserting their influence khadafi was reportedly killed by a french fighter plane where his convoy was wrecked and he was wounded by
3:12 pm
a french aircraft and we might expect to see french or british troops being called in on training missions in libya. and perhaps some nato bases to the west has great interest in libya and it's it's very high grade so there is nato today implying certainly in the words of nicholas accorsi that actually that campaign is over so your assuming actually nato will continue with a presence that well its military campaign is over it doesn't have any more targets but certainly nato i think will retain some kind of military influence you'll see the new libyan government requesting nato to keep some troops some for training that's the new name for garrison troops in afghanistan or iraq or kuwait to stay on and protect local governments also there will be a tussling for power between the european powers particularly the french and
3:13 pm
italians and the british to see who's going to become the dominant voice in libya. and they did this you know in the one nine hundred twenty s. as well so would be very interesting to see there's this revival of old old road rivalry but what the people of libya benefit a little earlier saying actually libya could have been like dubai where all the oil revenues would be invested back into the country we see a lot of western interest of course in dubai we not see the standard of living and life improving for libyans who matter who is investing in the country if they manage to put together a stable government they yes but reno there we mustn't forget khadafi spending a great deal of libya's oil income buildings i mean i wasn't there in in the mid one nine hundred seventy s. there was nothing there libya was a gas station stop on the way between alexandria and tunis so khadafi really created modern libya he built up all the modern buildings that we see and on the
3:14 pm
road sleep irrigation systems the oil industry all that is due to the production so it was a totally wasted of just saying that he could have done a lot better if he had had all these strange social schemes eric thanks very much and if your thoughts on this live from kind of a war correspondent eric margolis joining us live thank you. well the news of his death shook the world raising many questions we tackle the unanswered issues on our website dot com about these deaths put in. eight. new libyan government celebrates the untold numbers killed in the conflict cost of shadow over the victory you can. call. it. responsible for the murder of a football fan last year which sparked violent protests across the russian capital and faces life imprisonment those stories and plenty of others call.
