mission accomplished nato prepares to wrap up what it calls a successful campaign in libya after the death of colonel gadhafi leaving the battle scarred country to the new authorities. meanwhile the if the so liberation ceremony will take place in benghazi later today back as global pressure grows to find out whether gadhafi was killed in crossfire or executed join me and he's now in tripoli from words each. new york's occupy wall street protests go on despite more arrests inspiring copycats protest a call for social and economic change across asia europe and the middle east. and the launch of a full inquest into the death of former russian agent alexander litvinenko would lead to some uncomfortable revelations about britain's intelligence service.

knew and in moscow why not try as i can tell 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 died the u.n. expressed concern over video footage taken following his capture showing khadafi taken alive before he was killed meanwhile nato said it's winding down its bombing campaign in the country artes and he's in our way has the latest from tripoli. the n.t.s.b. is saying that gadhafi was killed by a bullet wounds also conflicting reports as to where exactly those shots were in his stomach in the right side of his head and the left side of the head it's looking very shady and then this brutal video that went viral the mainstream media showing it more than twenty four hours constantly of gadhafi whether or not he was dead or alive very unclear at first in the first couple of shots he even fears that he's alive he actually goes and touches head right somewhat away and then there's

a fight and you know it seems that he was dead in the later which is the same thing with one of his sons that was captured in syria first pictures of him standing against the wall smoking a cigarette very clearly alive 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 nato mission here in libya god that something needs to be done about an investigation the u.n. is running on launched an investigation and russia's foreign minister was very clear that russia and many of many countries and officials around the world feel like the way he was killed in these pictures that we saw were perhaps not the best possible way to. its use of 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 nine hundred planes and also that the rebels captured members of that convoy and it has been repeated numerous times that

nato clients are and you 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. actions pose a number of questions as well. as speaking of that no fly zone which is of course how this mission began back in march the u.n. looking into when it will officially and now russia wishing for that mission and as soon as possible they don't want to you know it's october thirty first but it has to be said officially nato mission. is very much alive in libya today the official liberation ceremony will take place in benghazi we're hearing it will take place there that of course was the original babel stronghold where their whole fight for freedom began it will take place there instead of the top middle because the security situation here is still very tense just a couple of days ago there was a shootout between m.t.c. troops and the top the lawyer with a low mostly celebrations have been taking place obviously officials the interim officials there worried that there could be some kind of violence here in the

capital thirty two people obviously were on the streets last night asking what's next for libya they can answer that question my god 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 the power struggle the world community has begun to think what will we see happening here in the upcoming months and years. and you can follow our correspondent in libya and use in our ways twitter stream bringing you the very latest updates and developments from the troubled region. with libya urged to be transparent about gadhafi is death dr muzzy include syria from bethlehem university says nato should also be held accountable for their mission. at the u.n. and human rights organizations should all push not only for investigation. and certainly. lynching the many other libyan has the.

support. but also the bombings that nato inflicted in libya that destroyed so many of libya's infrastructure and also so many libyan civilians who died in the school were killed in the right. especially the united states which is leading in this is clearly interested in intervention in libya long and if they can get away with this i would say for decades that they would want to interfere in libya because they're saying their aim is to control libya to change in libya in such a way to make it easier for reinstituting an american base in libya which existed until nine hundred sixty nine and controlled all oil industry in libya the privatization of libya i must this is hypocritical in the past. because they also had to know why he himself who collaborated with the cia and with the west for the

past nine years or eight years. on our website you can find the latest on a mysterious death of colonel gadhafi at analysis of what's next for libya that's all available a click away at artesia. so stay with us coming your way in a few minutes. there was no victory to take you there is nothing to do. a look at the legacy of the u.s. eight year campaign in iraq as barack obama confirms the remaining troops are set to leave this year plus. but i saw him coming out of the old beating him cafeteria the number 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 and killings part of everyday life despite the presence of international peacekeepers. but first there's been another round of protester arrests in new york

anti-corporate demonstrators complained police are taking too heavy an approach to their continuing peaceful rallies are losing catherine out has more from new york. as the numbers of the protests continue to increase so does it seems that heavy handed tactics by the new york city police department we witnessed several arrests about thirty two activists were arrested for demonstrating peacefully outside a police precinct 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 then eventually taken to jail if something is found on their physical body. with some high level high profile activists taken away in handcuffs that colonel west world did some others several members of the ministry of the several religious leaders were also taken away again just for performing what they say are simply

acts of civil disobedience nonviolent disobedience standing peacefully silently in front of the police precincts that we saw the police actually target our reporter a journalist who had been trying to film the events just like we were the police officers went after him physically at which point several activists and below ten of them with their bodies to try to protect him and keep him from getting arrested those two activists were then rather violently and taken aback at the police trucks and taken 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 movement it seems to have spread wide across the world not just here in the united states. israel is another country recently witnessing weeks of protests and calls for social justice but while its tent camps are gone change called for by the activists is nowhere to be seen which is pushing israelis toward the growing worldwide occupy movement as artie's parsley

reports from tel aviv. anger outreach and protests on the streets of new york a throwback to the same scenes different streets around ten thousand kilometers away the politicians in the united states exaggerated in this thing way is the this 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's told boulevard and even appeared to join the protests from the beginning she was inspired by what happened in cairo and caught retained corner carpet here. are worth reading and were praying every evening and it will probably cut into hours as you know watches even some food in far away new york she misses the six weeks she lived here and wishes she could be part of the wall street rallies are

the birthright of where i am i running a red. sea bass and so many how to protest in new york has strong parallels with those in israel and how they came about and why the similarity between the protesters just uncanny. the way they started on facebook the way they chose a location very close to where. the center of power is where the center of greed is 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 let's look back at any of the streets in tel aviv at the foot the focal point of social pain revolutionizing its role became the theme of late with the bikers and the first with them on. after waiting for the day. like many american israelis army coffman is watching the us rallies closely and says they are an inspiration to many in israel is proud people are taking

a stand against corruption and the protests the struggle and the anger is in the people still and the struggle for going to go on a view that more and more people around the globe seem to share policy r.t. tel aviv. stay with us here on our t.v. coming up later in the hour this hour the voice of the protest. look going to get out of there for both parties i think we want to party parties resident in new york laurie harford his visits lower manhattan to find out what the central message is that's uniting protesters. but first the widow of former russian agent alexander litvinenko as admitted her husband was working for british intelligence and new details were revealed at a full inquest large five years ago after living enco died of radiation poisoning in london was artie's over better reports it might see someone culpable truths about britain's firing as asians come to light. according to britain this is

a man on the run and very 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. agents but lugovoy says he's got nothing to hide. nobody really suspected me at the free inquest hearing even the british officials claim i'm hiding from justice or the law is annoying found out about it by sheer chance had we not found out about i think the british press would have accused us once again of hiding from justice. league of always lawyers last week echoed calls from libya because we don't know for full inquest which is now finally being ordered but that's prompted yet another twist in a case already steeped in intrigue and. my lawyers and i put ourselves as an interested party so in yonkers we do it up and was forced to admit her husband was a paid agent of mit have an emergency exit bill he worked for britain's

intelligence and not just as a consultant because you had no other choice she realised you might get involved in the inquest this would be reviewed anyway because i know a few facts that will force the british school to ask am i going to mit. it's a few questions. until now marina lipman younkers always denied any such link she says he was out of loyalty to her husband she refused to speak to us this is mission leaves in my five facing awkward questions and inquest they were the only party trying to limit and they did take it for granted that they can just crash in paris with a carpet and i said if it had been consulting for them or working with them and he died in highly. natori circumstances on their patch then you have it cos they were they are questions about not offering protection to people and also not offering protection to the london public as the travelling into ten across the city living

in kid died a slow and painful death. caused by the lethal radioactive substance polonium two ten the unsolved case has been the thorn in the side of british russian relations with moscow refusing to extradite 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 do an 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

a contaminated teapot the link from back to move is still unproven it's hoped the coroner's inquest will determine once and for all what exactly went on behind these walls something c.c.t.v. missed the police say they have new evidence but won't disclose it until they conclude their own investigation as for lugovoy he says he'll answer any questions they've got not in person of course but via video link i have been it art see them good. euro zone finance ministers have agreed to give greece the next installment of its bellowed cash and that stricken country will get eight billion euros in november once the international monetary fund signs that all the austerity measures introduced by athens to secure the loan have been met with violent protests and strikes the mounting pressure on people in greece and other countries need cos the governments dealy dearly according to pundits max keiser and species of. euro zone pushing for tougher policing of greece according to this reuters article thought

there is no alternative there was an alternative then and there is an alternative now it's called insurrection. when you were a little more than an hour here on r.t. . u.s. president barack obama has announced an end to military involvement in iraq ordering all u.s. troops home by the end of the year around thirty nine thousand americans will leave the country after more than eight years of service there almost forty five hundred u.s. servicemen and women have died during that time and cost and the war has cost u.s. taxpayers more than seven hundred billion dollars military spending a lone ranger or a blogger an iraqi american political activist thinks that withdrawal from iraq is a steam is a step forward for both sides but it doesn't guarantee the end of u.s. influence is a very important milestone and i think iraq is in general and have been waiting for

this is the atheists we want to hear this military occupation is all what it's all for and it is a major step in but i that action 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 person under state department all fought all the iraqi political leaders and not against keeping some u.s. three and. three in the new iraqi army on using newly purchased u.s. weapons but they are against. it because there have been a long list of crimes that were committed killing civilians with no accountability the u.s. intervention and occupation of iraq and. there is not because he is looking at the record because that should not have happened it's

a disaster for this destruction and the u.s. has been a part of iraq's problem. or through the intervention i'm very happy that the u.s. is ending its input mention because i think this will help iraqis move forward. who has plenty of stories eye catching video analysis on r t dot com here's what's a click away right now. apple's late founder steve jobs planning an all out fight with google to find out why plus. storage blastoff a russian soyuz rocket launches from a french space base in the tropics carrying the use for a sat nav system aiming to break the dominance of the u.s. g.p.s. system. at least a thousand serbs and nato soldiers in riot gear remain faced off against each other

a major key for soldiers keep watching i would. judge it all is in the last week 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 nor the course of a remains the struggle between k. four soldiers and local subservience is no closer to resolution with people from both sides of the barricades are glad to avoid any further. away from media hostility is common place this twenty three year old syrian man who was with his father when he was shot just three weeks ago visiting an old bed and pillaging across the south where serbs a minority living in tiny enclaves going to go i was waiting for him in a car i saw him coming out of your beam cafeteria and i heard two gunshots and my

country into civil war and pleaded power despite mounting pressure to step down. with the occupy wall street movement reaching its one month anniversary and many are wondering what exactly has united so many people in protest artie's the residents of new york laurie her finish went to the center of the action asking people what brought them there. among kids of the occupy wall street movement is there a unified method this week let's talk about that. there isn't a centralized message a lot of people say that's the problem and i think that's actually a strength that we currently have. as a movement where we're just over a month old. october seventeenth was our 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 movement major movements 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 the sound bite no one has tension at eighty world and they need a sound bite are there often that the current dominant paradigm and you were looking to give examples of what alternative paradigms could exist and i tried to come in. for a couple of hours so a lot of people are saying that the message is that unified and that's an issue that the movement is having its its problem communicating but i don't see it as an issue. because you feel like it's unified i think it was ultimately this is a big battle of ideas there's fifteen different worldviews for square foot and. people are talking and people are listening it's like the best university in the

world but there's no unified message 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 they're 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 is 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 said it's not just one thing and there's a bunch of different reasons of it and part of it 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 clear sentence but the messages here. political and economic reform how is both parties i think we want to party to things like everyone here feels like there is a unified methods and that is there isn't a unified mass there which they feel like is the very strength of the movements.

coming up in a few minutes moscow out takes to the skies but first i'll be back with the headlights stay with us. coming.

to earth the biggest simply. absurd.
