the u.n. wants an answer after images released following the capture of libya's dictator and his son suggests they were killed violently while in captivity. meanwhile the official liberation ceremony will take place in benghazi later today that has global price or grows to find out whether gadhafi was killed in crossfire or executed telling me anything only to believe the words. the orcs occupy wall street protests go on despite more arrests inspiring copycat protests to call for social and economic change across eastern europe and the middle east. and the launch of a full inquest into the death of former russian agent alexander litvinenko could lead to some uncomfortable revelations about britain's intelligence services.
2:01 am
ten am in moscow i matras are good to have you with us here on r t our top story there is a growing international pressure for an investigation into exactly how libya's ousted dictator moammar gadhafi die the u.n. expressed concern over video footage taken following his capture showing khadafi captured alive before he was killed for more on this we're joined by our jesus and our way of life for us in tripoli hello a nice so libya is being urged to be transparent about the death of gadhafi tell us more about that. that's right the n.t.s.b. is saying that gadhafi was killed by a bullet also conflicting reports as to where exactly those shots were in his stomach in the right side of his head in the left side of the head it's looking very shady and then this brutal video that went viral the mainstream media showing you more than twenty four hours constantly of gadhafi but they were not he was dead
2:02 am
or alive very unclear at first in the first couple of shots that it appears that he's alive he actually goes and touch the head wipe some blood away and then there's the heart and it seems that he was clearly dead in the later which is the same thing with one of his songs that was captured in syria first pictures of him standing against the wall smoking a cigarette very clearly a wife then the video cards and all of a sudden he's dead so really pressure coming from around the world both from the west and other countries that have been very critical about neighbors mission here in libya that something needs to be done about an investigation the u.n. is running almost an investigation and russia's foreign minister was very clear that russia and many of many countries and officials around the world feel by the way he was killed in these pictures that we saw were perhaps not the best possible way to deal with this look this is what he had to say about the videos and the way moamar gaddafi was killed. it's the footage shown on t.v.
2:03 am
proves that he was captured a lawyer and wounded and after that he was killed later there were reports that a convoy carrying macondo was attacked by nato planes and also about the rebels captured members of our convoy has been repeated numerous times that nato planes are in the have a u.n. mandate to ensure a no fly zone over libya and the convoy wasn't causing any threat to civilians on the ground and couldn't be a legitimate target so you know interactions pairs a number of questions as well most of the students you. know speaking of that no fly zone which is of course how this mission began back in my. you when looking into when it will officially and also pushing for the most and as soon as possible the date when you know it's october thirty first but it has to be said officially nato mission is very much alive here in libya today the official liberation ceremony will take place in benghazi where you will take place there that of course was the original rebel stronghold where their hope fight for freedom began it will
2:04 am
take place there instead of the capital because the security situation here is still very tense just a couple of days ago there was a shootout between n.c.c. troops and fuel oil with the low mostly celebrations have been taking place obviously officials the interim officials are worried that there could be some kind of violence here in the capital if the liberation ceremony was to take place it's obvious party is they don't want to get with frigid raiders in misrata and already way beyond the twenty four hour mark to how he had been buried by muslims because. we've been seeing video throughout the day here of people celebrating on the streets firing their guns into the air celebrating the death of gadhafi and his son here what's next for the country what's next for libya. well that's the thing a very deliberate story mood here in tripoli lots of shooting throughout the night sober story he said into the air but lots of plainclothes civilians as well as a rebel forces with automatic and semiautomatic weapons are celebrating in that way
2:05 am
and i want to point out it's very different from the types of celebrations that we saw in toughness there with mubarak where there were people playing guitars and crying so there's a very different feeling here at least in tripoli in terms of the celebrations very few people obviously were on the streets asking what's next really be and they can answer that question was so world analysts are certainly looking into what will happen to be chaos here one of the main fears is that libya could break out into some kind of tribal war that there's going to be this hour show the full power of the n.p.c. a very new government moammar gadhafi for decades at the helm of libya what happens now with all of this completely destroyed infrastructure and how does the country move forward call it something that the libyan people are not quite thinking about yet as they celebrate gadhafi being gone but certainly the world community has begun to think what will do you see happening here in the upcoming months and years . right archies are nice and i live for us in tripoli thanks for that report. well
2:06 am
stay with us here on r t still to come in a few minutes. there was no victory to claim it is nothing to do. with a look at the legacy of america's eight year campaign in iraq is iraq obama confirms the remaining troops are said to leave this year plus. but i saw him coming out of the old beating in cafeteria the not heard two gunshots and my dad pulled down he died immediately i didn't even say goodbye to him kosovo serbs say they're living in fear with attacks in killings part of everyday life despite the presence of international peacekeepers. fifteen years now to today's other top stories another round of protests terrorists in new york anti-corporate demonstrators complain police are taking too heavy an approach to their continuing peaceful rallies or he's losing confidence has more from the heart of protests that inspired a global movement. as the numbers of the protests continue to increase so does it
2:07 am
seems that heavy handed tactics by the new york city police departments we witnessed several arrests about thirty two activists were arrested for demonstrating peacefully outside of the precincts that to bring attention to the so-called stop and frisk policy that is widely used here in new york where many innocent civilians can be stopped on the street with very little actual suspicious cars searched and eventually taken to jail if something is found on their physical body. we saw high level high profile activists taking away and can cut staff turnover last for all day and some others several members of the ministry and several religious leaders were also taken away again just for performing what they say are simply the civil disobedience nonviolent disobedience standing peacefully silently in front of the police precincts now we saw the police actually target and i reporter
2:08 am
a journalist who had been trying to film the events just like we were the police officers when after him physically at which point several activists envelope to put their bodies to try to protect them and keep them from getting arrested to activists who are then rather violently and taken aback by the police trucks and taking away now what this signifies is that the numbers of these protests continue to grow perhaps putting some sort of fear into the system here where officials don't feel like they can control the movement that seems to have spread wide across the world not just here in the united states. and israel and other countries that recently witness weeks of protests and calls for social justice but while the tent camps are gone and change is the change demanded by activists is nowhere to be seen pushing israelis toward a growing worldwide occupy movements as are he's always pulse reports. anger outrage and protest on the streets of new york
2:09 am
a throwback to the same scenes different streets around ten thousand kilometers away the politicians in the united states exaggerated in the same way as the people with this ills in it is where they went too far in taking for granted the citizens occupy wall street it wasn't that long ago israelis were calling to occupy what struggle of art i mean in a bid joined approaches from the beginning she was inspired by what happened in cairo and court retained tapio corner well there have been here people were bidding who were praying every evening and people are coming in. as you know watches events unfold in faraway new york she misses the six weeks she lived here and wishes she could be part of the wall street rallies i am very proud of where i am i really a great ok. to days where they really hold the protests in new york
2:10 am
a strong parallels with those in israel and how they came about and why the similarity between the protesters just then came. the way they started and faced with the way they chose a location very close to where. the center of power is or the center of readers for in this case the wall street but many are wondering what exactly that struggle in israel achieved recommendations made by government committee still need to be implemented and that could take a while that's looks like any other street in tel aviv but the focal point of social behavior the revolutionizing israel attain the theme of faith with the bikers and the social demands are still waiting to be made. like many american israelis i mean kaufmann is watching the u.s. rallies closely and sees there an inspiration to many in israel he's proud people are taking a stand against corruption and greed to protest the struggle of younger. when the people stop and the struggle is still going to go on i view that more and more
2:11 am
people. to let me. stay with us here on r t still to come the voice of protest. good academic reform code both parties i think we want to party parties lawry are going to this is lower manhattan to find out just what the central message is uniting the occupy wall street protesters. but first the widow of former russian asian alexander litvinenko has admitted her husband was working for british intelligence services new details were revealed at a full inquest launched five years after libby litvinenko died of radiation poisoning in london authorities i've read many reports it might see some uncomfortable truth is revealed about britain the spy organizations. according to britain this is a man on the run and the day lugovoy hasn't left russia since two thousand and six because of an international arrest warrant he's accused of murdering alexander litvinenko in london almost five years ago both former k.g.b.
2:12 am
agents but lugovoy says he's got nothing to hide so as a credible it would be good for me nobody really expected me at the pre inquest hearing even though british officials claim i'm hiding from justice my lawyers annoy found out about it by sheer chance had we not found out about it i think the british press would have accused us once again of hiding from justice. league of always lawyers last week echoed calls from a little new because we don't know for a full inquest which is now finally been ordered but that's prompted yet another twist in a case already steeped in intrigue and. my lawyers annoyed at ourselves food as an interested party so live in yonkers we did i was forced to admit her husband was a paid agent of mit i have an m i six of the he worked for britain's intelligence and not just as a consultant she had no other choice she realised he might get involved in the inquest it will be revealed anyway because i know a few facts that will force
2:13 am
a british court ask in my five an m i six a few questions. until now marina litvinenko has always denied any such link she says he was out of loyalty to her husband she refused to speak to us they said mission leaves m i five facing awkward questions in an inquest they were the only party trying to limit and they did take it for granted that they can just crash in paris without carpets and as i said if it can yank it had been consulting for them or working with them and he died in highly. the tourist sacrifices on their patch then you have of course they were questions about not offering protection to people and also not offering protection to the london public if there's. traveled plenty until ten left across the city living in kid died a slow and painful death caused by the lethal radioactive substance polonium two hundred ten the unsolved case has been a thorn in the side of british russian relations with moscow refusing to extradite
2:14 am
london's chief suspect as some claim britain's pursuit has blurred the line between fact and fiction there's a whole host of unofficial allegations. how we go from i guess which however horrible to an accusation that mr lugovoy was responsible is is ludicrous i mean it's all looks very fishy join unbiased observer but the diet that we are being fed in britain through the media. short circuits a lot of that this is where it all began the millennium hotel in central london and it's what happened in here remains the biggest question mark living in commit lugovoy for breakfast here but they fell ill and that's when he's amazed to have been poisoned forensics to find contaminated teeth the link from that salute of oil is still unproven it's hoped the coroner's inquest will determine once and for all that's exactly went on behind these walls something c.c.t.v.
2:15 am
nice the police say they have new evidence but won't disclose it until they conclude their own investigation and as for a little boy he says he'll answer any questions they've got not in person of course but via video link might have been it see them. president barack obama has announced an end to american military involvement in iraq all u.s. troops to leave by the end of the year around thirty nine thousand americans will leave the country after more than eight years almost forty five hundred u.s. service men have died during that time in the wars past taxpayers more than seven hundred billion dollars in military spending alone wager or broader an iraqi american political activist this would draw from iraq is a step forward for both sides but it doesn't guarantee the end of u.s. influence. this is a very important milestone i think you are in general and have been waiting for this is the last eighty years you want to hear this u.s.
2:16 am
military occupation is or what it's all for all it is a major step and what i dread action oh unfortunately it does not necessarily mean the end of the u.s. involvement and intervention in iraq because the u.s. is planning to keep sixteen thousand. under the state department over all the iraqi political leaders are not against keeping some u.s. trainers to train the new iraqi army on using newly purchased u.s. weapons but they are against granting them immunity because that have been a long list of crimes that were committed killing iraqi civilians with no accountability the u.s. intervention and occupation of iraq has been disastrous there is not victory to claim there is nothing to look back at it has been a disaster that should not have happened it's a disaster of death and destruction and the us has been
2:17 am
a part of iraq's problem in the last decade or two that the intervention started very happy that the u.s. is ending its intervention because i think this will help iraqis move forward and that i. so is plenty of stories eye catching video and analysis are put away at our dot com here's what's online right now. powerful xli founder steve jobs planning it all over the world with brutal find out why plus. a story last off russian soyuz rocket launches from a french space base in the tropics carrying the first sat nav system aiming to break the dominance of america's g.p.s. . former commander of u.s. troops in iraq and afghanistan and the current cia chief has directed his intelligence analysts to give additional weight to the opinions of troops in the field but david petraeus the request was met with
2:18 am
a flurry of criticism military contributor has been crucial takes a look. how come they have the media saying the general betray us in his new capacity as the langley director has come under their friendly fire from all sides possible i'm talking about his latest initiative to reverse this standard operating procedure regarding the sharing of the preliminary intel and now a series need to be in the cia and the u.s. army officers in the field he's not even in charge of the defense intelligence agency which at least has their full lead to toot to conduct or to solicit its military officers and rank and file men opinion regarding the situation in afghanistan and beyond however these small scale as much more significance than meets the eye it reflects in their ongoing and unfolding turf battle between
2:19 am
their supporters oh that patrols counterinsurgency doctrine that has totally failed against them and this latest and initiative is nothing else but just another attempt at the very subtle one to justify and exonerate already defunct counterinsurgency doctrine fathered by trails and failed in afghanistan at least a thousand serbs and nato soldiers in a riot year remain in a face off on the kosovo border serves where all of the serbs have been ordered again to remove the barricades or roadblocks they arrested at the route air crossing or he's worried if an ocean has more. as months of tension between serbs and ethnic albanian of course was continue roads in northern course they remain closed for some serbs are fortifying their barricades and see themselves again as victims of history these cartoon reads and if it is your granddad which if it is
2:20 am
your father's will win again local serbs compare the nature led peacekeeping force in kosovo ok for the fascist occupiers of the past they will then why do they think they can come and take our land serbia's our home we don't want to live in albania one of the lot bought a book about their own family we have nothing but flag and faith in god some two hundred meters away they took a four soldiers keep watching i would be sweet solution by talk by an agreement judge it all is in the laws which but if that is not to be reached i have to be on my own i have to fall back on my old needs. some of them are. going to be no surprise the generals only means a military once the status quo northern course of a remains the standoff between k.
2:21 am
four soldiers and local serbs of millions is no closer to resolution people from both sides of the barricades are glad to avoid any further violence it's away from media glare hostility is commonplace. this twenty three year old syrian man was with his father when he was shot just three weeks ago visiting a bentley which also is self serve as a minority living in tiny enclaves and i was waiting for him in a car and i saw him coming out of the cafeteria and i heard two gunshots and my dad fall down and i wanted to him and i was worried he died immediately i didn't even say goodbye to him. i thought he would shows us his wounds he was shocked when his father's killers try to eliminate the only witness i will never return to the police they'll treat me i'm worrying about my fella and myself in a separate incident just last week in under an armed service was killed in
2:22 am
a confrontation with the local these two men together with their friend and their drug they follow the family went to see which used to be sort of land now owned by ethnic albanians since serbs fled after nature's nine hundred ninety nine bombing of yugoslavia they were stopped by the new occupier we talked for five minutes and he said he needed to come back to his car to take insult home ok mark and stand with the kalashnikov do you want to run back he shouted and started firing at homes drug was killed. the man who just lost their friends they there is only one reason he was killed that's just because we are serbs periods eleven years after the end of major conflict here and despite the presence of international peacekeepers violence seems to be still part of everyday life for some in this troubled breakaway province and there is little sign that's likely to change or if nationality the course of. turning now to some other stories making headlines
2:23 am
across the globe the heir to the saudi arabian throne prince sultan the bin the was these all sowed has died the eighty five year old defense minister was traveling abroad for medical tests at the time brings into focus the health of saudi arabia's aging royalty especially delo who's now eighty seven his half brother now yes that is next in the light even he is seventy eight years old. the. euro zone finance ministers agreed to a new array of bailout loans for troubled greece the debt stricken the expected to get a billion euro by the end of november when the international monetary fund signs off on the proposal austerity measures and cuts introduced by athens to secure the loan have led to ongoing violent protests. the u.s. has reached an agreement with north korea allowing it to search for the remains of u.s. soldiers killed during the korean war searches will resume next year after a six year hiatus after tension over the nuclear program the remains of more than
2:24 am
two hundred u.s. servicemen were found between one thousand nine hundred six and two thousand and five before the end of recovery operation. u.n. security council's unanimously adopted a resolution calling for yemen's president president saleh to step down immediately the first resolution since the massive protests began eight months ago dictates the leader must transfer power to the deputy and escalating violence. by many yemenis are pushing the country into civil war and clinging to power despite mounting pressure to step down. ali in this news block with the occupy wall street movement reaching a one month anniversary many are wondering what exactly has united so many people in protest or keys the resident laurie harshness went to the center of the action asking people there what brought them together. a month into the occupy wall street movement is there
2:25 am
a unified method this week let's talk about that. there isn't a centralized message a lot of people say that's a problem and i think that's actually a strength that we currently have. as a movement were were just over a month old. october seventeenth was a one month anniversary and and i think it's it's early to to be issuing any statements or anything along those lines any any sort of major movement or revolution or anything like that throughout history has issued a statement within the first month it feels a little absurd to me to expect there to be one core message when this is a movement that's wanting to be inclusive that wants everyone to have a voice and everyone has their own life they have their own struggles is it i mean today's world is this town by now and has tension and a.d.t. were and they need us down but are there off of the current dominant paradigm and where looking to give examples of what alternative paradigms could exist for
2:26 am
a lot of people don't seem to really understand why they're here they can articulate it so you know if this sort of makes them think about why they're here well there in the alternative do you think that that's a problem with the movement is that there isn't a unified message not necessarily i think there's a prevailing theme to it everybody's disenfranchised with something you're saying education health care some guy over there just said shipping jobs out of the country to the stuff we part of it i mean there's not one thing i just said it's not just one thing and there's a push to for reasons other part of that too i mean i definitely agree with the fact that there's shipping jobs in the country we don't need anymore so so how would you sum it up in one clears that ten but the math or just here. political and economic reform the whole of both parties i think we want to party so it seems like everyone here feels like there is a unified message and that is. there isn't a unified math it which they feel like is the very strike of the movements.
