as they turn a new page in the 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 well let's cross live now to the libyan capital and get the latest from. we've seen the images of people celebrating across the country and the interim government is expected to announce the symbolic liberation of libya later today but it's set to happen in the city of benghazi not in the capital but what's the reason for this. well just a couple of days ago there were shootouts here and clashes between the troops and the loyalists and i think it's fair to say that security situation in tripoli is far from untended if you will it's still very chaotic in a sense but at the same time very relaxed unexpected in terms of the n.t. see as to exactly why they decided to be a part of that reason of course would be it's very clear is because it was course the first original stronghold of the rebel forces but also because it's very wary

a situation here no one knows what could happen if that official ceremony of liberation was held in the capital with that said the mood here is quite celebrate story lots of people honking their horns hazard lights on it's very different from what we saw when mubarak was ousted in terms of singing songs down the street a lot of people walking around plainclothes people with semiautomatic an automatic weapon sitting into the air so the situation is very tense very few people here are thinking about a question that global analysts are asking which of course is what's next for libya a lot of fears that the country could break out in some kind of tribal war that there is going to be a real push and a power struggle here for people to get into power it's no secret that the country enjoys vast vast oil wealth and this is something that's all going to begin to unfold in the next couple of days but right now the people of tripoli and most of the country are not thinking about that they're thinking and celebrating the fact that gadhafi is finally got. at least. the u.n.

wants an investigation now into the circumstances of colonel gadhafi is death why the questioning didn't the libyan interim government say he died from his wounds after he was captured in the city of sirte. they do say that there are so many conflicting reports as to how moammar gadhafi was actually killed very different variations of video brutal video which went viral certainly on the internet i lot of the mainstream media selling those images the world watching some people of course and all others just horrified to see this man despite the fact that many people knew that he was kept completely lost you know just being is very much hated by most of the people here a lot of people horrified by some of those images western officials certainly praising the situation very happy about gadhafi being gone but we're hearing concern from the u.n. certainly that an investigation you speak wants into that and also that backed by russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov who had this to say about the fact that

there needs to be help some kind of investigation into the way gadhafi was killed and also about when this nato no fly zone is going to end. with. 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 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 couldn't 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. now we're hearing that the u.n.

security council is looking into and will be reviewing trying to cope another resolution as to when to officially and that no find so for now this mission officially still on but there you go some of that celebratory shooting that i was talking about taking place here in tripoli as people celebrate the death of moammar gadhafi and i mentioned earlier the world watched those very graphic videos where it's the mainstream media most certainly took advantage of basically twenty four hours of these videos people from around the world watching parties ivor bennett analyzes what that all means and the shady circumstances surrounding moammar gadhafi. this frenzied mob is about as far as it gets from a trial at the hague. but the death of gadhafi is now being cheated around the world yes we came we saw mark and 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 the country we will help them we will work with them a long way from cameron's insistence that gadhafi be put on trial and to see fighters were even dissuaded from the shoot to kill policy agreeing in august they'll take him alive i don't think he did go up to 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 and two 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 night of operation by. 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 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 it clearly didn't last long some suggest an execution and question why this is now being applauded he was assassinated third after he was caught one that this is a very handy else crime against one that man and the other public will see it such i've talked to people who dislike raftery this like the way he was killed they think that this tells you something about the moral of the so-called revolutionaries this view 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 daphne's death 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 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 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 were too quick for bennett r.t. london. one of colonel gadhafi sons would trust 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 you're seeing are clearly shows the little tyson gadhafi casually smoking a cigarette as he leans against a wall then shortly afterwards he seemed to trade sprawled out on the floor completely lifeless let's get some more analysis now from u.s. based journalist and author susan lindauer joining us live in washington so is this a great development for libya now that he's gone what's the country will we see in

the future. i do not believe this war is over the libyan people are not going to stop fighting until nato leaves the country and i find it questionable that nato will do that france is already demanding thirty five percent of libya's gross national gross oil production and i suspect that the people of libya will be furious and outraged that they are paying france for having bombed the infrastructure having destroyed the schools the hospitals the the water supply having the electrical grid there's tremendous damage in the country and i i do not think that this is over at all what about those libyans are saying they couldn't have had a regime change the end of gadhafi with no help well i think that's a very small number of people you're talking about benghazi you're talking about

islamic radicals who have been suppressed by gadhafi not without reason qaddafi for all of his faults as of as of with forty years of rule had one of the best track records on women's rights and the salafi lists as they are called oppose those progressive reforms they want islam to be true to the old shariah and they their goal which has been very clearly stated and the west needs to accept it because they have been emphatic about their position it is their intention to instate shariah and that is what they're going to do will the libyan people accept shariah that is a very big question do people give up their freedom and easily but i don't think the so recently view you have you didn't sorry to interrupt recently been to see you were saying we want a future with moderate islam within the government which is very different what

you'll saying is not. when the n t c is divided there's a lot of infighting the radicals who are on the ground the soldiers the foot the foot soldiers who have been fighting they are fighting for islam and they are they have hated khadafi because he pursued a moderate and socialist islam and the people that you are talking about are from the old kadafi regime who are being fully into the revolution in other words if they would have banned and qaddafi then they would be accepted in the new government but that does not mean that their policies will be accepted it remains to be seen who's going to come out on top do you know i don't think it i don't think the west is going to get what they want do you know then have any options or optimism over the promise that in the future of the near future there will be elections after all the m.t.c.

is an interim government it's a transitional government and we will see democratic stall elections in libya in the near future you don't believe that will happen. well i heard two different stories i heard that they would have elections in two years and then i heard that they would have elections in eight months. i am very suspicious about it i'll believe it when i see it because i don't think the transitional council will win i think that they will be pushed out and i think that. i do i do not have confidence in this government at all i think they're going to they're going to do everything they can to protect their own power and if it turns out that the libyan people are against nato which they are then the nato governments will push to delay elections because they will know they are going to lose certain facts or time susan and journalist north speakers live from the u.s. capitol well for more on the developments in libya we cannot cross live to the

director of the transform center for conflict analysis. is in berlin thanks very much indeed for joining us now the un wants an investigation into the circumstances of death is death what will not achieve what does it really matter now. i don't think investigation. should be an investigation for sure but getting to the reality. is this. is actually something that was will become almost unanimously by the so-called international community i don't see what kind of oh when the u.n. . force or push in you see an investigation of course if an investigation has to go. through. just the best of. it is bound to reveal so many things that i think a lot of people because we would want to be so i needed any investigation.

some sense of this and if one is it would probably be. confirming the official story. is the revolution over now. pollution as i remember all over quickly don't forget. the hatred. was the glue that was keeping a lot of these factions. and other militias fighting in libya you were the hatred towards him was the glue that was keeping them together now this glue is no longer. still have to wait and see they will manage in a semblance of unity. mostly. at least two words some kind of a. democratic process. to be seen. out

of the fighting over well that of course leads us to the mission for nato suggestions that particular from the earlier that the operation there is now complete implying that nato will indeed leave libya but bearing in mind its mission was in its initially to protect civilians and you're talking about the possible future violence and conflict that may arise surely that's a reason for nato to stay in libya. my understanding is that we have to remember that no significant ground forces in libya so. leaving is not really the issue as far as movement on the ground is. my understanding is the problem in that mission of nato would be transformed. the libyan army would have to be somehow configured up to be

a lot of training security training we really need to find good will find this. to maintain some kind of a presence in libya while transport you can see mission from protecting civilians honestly this between black and into some kind of along. the operation. may be also good for. things out of all. of the fighting continues to pick up with installations in the. interest of. life but then director of transform the center for conflict analysis thank you so much for your thoughts there on it but i thank you. well a lot more stories coming your way in the next hour including here on the labor unions calling for more protests in greece as the parliament approved harsh cutbacks amid mass chaos and violence across the country. and

a soyuz rocket successfully makes the very first foreign launch carrying europe's new satellite navigation system on its way to rivalling america's g.p.s. . well that's the news for you this hour here on r.t. i'll be back with a summary of our main stories in about thirteen minutes from now in the meantime scott is next stay with us for that.

great. comfort to. you. but the. false go.

well i welcome to the mosque around so on this week's episode i'll be exploring the subject of flights taking a look at the history of aviation in russia to the latest simulator is aircraft designs and port terminals so joe we mustn't henri's as we journey from the soviet skies to modern day developments starting off here at the political museum in moscow. museum has several exhibits showcasing the subject flight models of aircraft palace and you mechanics you can see how the aviation industry developed in the largest country in the world. the history of civil airline is in the soviet union can be traced all the way back to the russian revolution in one nine hundred seventy in when the new bullshit government so as one of the main ways to modernize the country. the new communist leaders believed and travel would be the most efficient way to transport both people and supplies across the vast country in one thousand nine hundred eighty

three the first soviet ally to open a lot was created several other smaller companies were formed and nine years later the name and a float was officially adopted for the entire service civil effort airflows went on to become the largest airline in the world with to pull off and illusion and craft making up the majority of its massive fleet as the aviation industry flourished around the world the u.s.s.r. was no exception. back to the museum along with the space race and technology as a whole day you can see how the soviet era through secrecy success and failure was a melting pot for ideas innovation and development. moving to our next location and it's time to look at modern day and cost training simulators here are used for a variety of reasons the design and development of aircraft and the research into akron movement and stability people also come here to share entertainment if you have a dream to flying

a plane well this is as close to the real thing as you will ever get. with the level of your centers where we have a cockpit all the seven thirty seven energy legion aeration which is open for everyone ears experience being a pilot is a full scale cockpit and provides the same conditions as a real pilot deals with you can choose any just a nation. around the world and try to control the plane in any weather conditions we welcome children as our guests do they just love this why experience love. on the walls you can see various photographs taken from cockpits cloud formations difficult landing strips and breathtaking skylines images of chic cabin crew and well groomed pilots adds to the atmosphere but for many a travel is the opposite a terrifying horrific ordeal so with that in mind the center runs training programs people wanting to overcome the fear of flying not something that i need and i'm not late it's my time to try my hand being

a copilot gate eighty two ready for boarding after several preflight checks the engines are advanced to ninety percent the hydraulic movements mimic the plane racing down the runway and we take to the air just like a real flight at density turbulence clouds position every bump a movement can be felt i am today is take a short flight from moscow has dominated the airport fly around and then return to the same landing strip. easier said than done fortunately i have expert help at hand. just make sure you don't make any dramatic maneuvers you will soon hear the packages disapproval in your headset. traveling three hours south of the capital by car and we will ride to our next destination here a small flight club specializes in aerobatics the practice of making out of the ordinary flying maneuvers the training recreation it's in the spirit aerobatics all

towards military fighter pilots to develop flying skills and for tactical keeps in combat today i've been invited to take to the skies will be a roller coaster at ten thousand feet good job i haven't eaten. now the first flying club. as it's known english has been here for two years previously the fields was used back in the u.s.s.r. for aircraft but spray pesticides other planes the guys use here are the yak eighteen t. the fifty two and the fifty four which you see here or want to experience will refer to loss between twenty and thirty minutes and will cost between four thousand and seven thousand rubles that's roughly around one hundred thirty two hundred dollars not so bad and i know this. yes. with. the use of less planes were originally introduced to train arafat pilots they've recently gained popularity as well as

planes both inside and outside the former u.s.s.r. anyone can come here to experience what zero g. feels like to barrel turns and the loops aeronautical experience isn't necessary you just need a little courage and trust the pilots know what they're doing and once in a lifetime experience that has been enjoyed by many russians and foreigners. a lot of people. was on this airplane it's like you know there are fighter jets you're going to hear the powerful engine so it's very good a bright yellow propeller plane you won't miss this in the sky and after meeting my pilot it into the aircraft i go and on honest to goodness knows what i have got myself into i have a feeling this is not the faint pulse is. one thing that is apparent straight away is the noise from the monster of an engine if i take the headset off i can hardly

be myself speak. moring down the runway because we feel every single bump and crack in the surface of a stomach churning roller coaster in the sky as we banked to an incredible sixty degrees the views from above are impressive it feels very different to a typical commercial flight though that's for sure all aerobatic maneuvers demand training and practice to avoid accidents luckily today my pilot mike seems is the main instructor and trainer at the center. g. forces are being seriously pushed here with a high pitch and a sub nose dive it's time to experience brief weightlessness zero g. . they said drill in field experience. everything i'm used to the human body can cope with everything it's a positive nine g. i've not even reached of that yet. good to know how was the experience.

time for landing and the easy easy a little wind to the left and we have contact with the ground again and although shaking i live to tell the tale. thrill seekers eat your heart out that's what experience i will never forget. moving on and we've arrived at our final location should a metaphor and pause almost thirty kilometers to the northwest of moscow let's look at modern commercial flight and the airports need terminals once the world's largest airline arafat today is at the forefront of development training and technical support in the aviation industry in russia. in the maintenance hangar here you can see examples of first class engineering and here it's certainly as with the old and in with the new the rest of the airline industry has undergone

a major revolution over the past twenty years some of the major players such as era flight s seven or trans there are about graded their fleets to the likes of airbus or boeing and major international routes taken from me i know from personal experience the majority of the aircraft use up top notch runs spanking new and often a great safe flying experience in two thousand and ten sure most of the airport and the almost twenty million passengers the new terminal d. has one hundred number of awards for planning and design they can get one of the best passenger experiences in europe by the year twenty fifteen share a mess of a expects to increase traffic to thirty five million people and become the best job in europe and terms of customer service with glittering arrival and departure calls this is a. wonderful example of change in russia a massive reconstruction of the terminals is still in the way resulting in state of the officer there are even plans for

a third runway. pool so highly guarded locations and security is the priority but sometimes there is a chance to see what's behind the usually closed doors occasionally moscow sheremetyevo organizes the so-called plane spotting event. journalists and bloggers get access to their response plan thanks for taking pictures of aircraft in action . just a cross-posting ampoules is popular in many of the world's biggest airports open their doors and access to runways both amateur and professional photographers face bosses very much enjoy the opportunity and share their pictures with the whole world so everyone can have a closer look at the world of flying. expanding bush's aviation industry is paramount to the country's future. radical changes to aircraft fleet in terminals budget and lines infrastructure new technology and next time you pass through one of those cars and you too will see those dramatic changes and regardie

entertainment but you want to learn to fly in a simulator that will be to the skies and the yoke of the stone plane there are dozens of places that will satisfy planes and adrenalin lovers of ages in moscow one thing's for sure the sky is the limit. i just love them but of course me that's all that's how we have on the program on the subject of flight i'll see you again at the same time next weekend so that for me and the rest of the crew from the second runway here i'd fare better bear but by now.

dynamic. live from moscow this is a twenty four hours a day top stories now the missing link the u.n. calls for an investigation into the death of the gruesome footage in the media fails to pinpoint exactly when or how. the country's interim government claims he died from wounds sustained during his capture. on thursday. claims emerge that they're secretly relieved he won't be spilling the beans about his previous dealings with the u.s. and its allies the late libyan leader was for many years i'm a joke.
