and the launch of a full of inquest into the death of former russian agent alexander litvinenko that lead to someone comfortable revelations about britain's intelligence service and. noone in moscow why matricide 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 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 artie's nice and now way has the latest from tripoli. the n.t.s.b. is saying that gadhafi was killed by 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 his 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 that he did in fears that he's alive he actually goes and touches head quite some blood away and then there's a time and it seems that maybe we will be dead in those later which is the same thing with one of his sons that was captured in syria first pictures of him standing against a 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 neighbors mission here in libya by that something needs to be done about an investigation the u.n. is planning on launching 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 gadhafi was killed in these pictures that we saw were perhaps not the

best possible way to. which it is 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 macondo was attacked by nato planes and offered to the rebels captured members of that convoy it has been repeated numerous times that nato planes are and you have a u.n. mandate to insure a no fly zone over libya and the convoy wasn't producing any threat to civilians on the ground and could be a legitimate target the. 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 also pushing for that mission to end the soonest possible a day when you know it is october thirty first but it has to be said officially the nato mission. it's very much alive here 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 rebel stronghold where their whole fight for freedom began

it will 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 m.t.c. troops and the downfield loyalists alone 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 very few people obviously were on the streets last night asking what's next for they be and they can answer that question not so world analysts are certainly looking into what will happen will be chaos here one of the main fears is that libya could break out into something kind of tribal war that there's going to be this hour the world community has begun to think what will we see happen here in the upcoming months and years. remember you can follow our correspondent in libya nice in our ways twitter stream bringing you the very latest updates and developments from the troubled region with libya urged to be a transparent about gadhafi is death dr muzzy from bethlehem university says nato

should also be held accountable for their mission. they u.n. and human rights organizations should all push not only for investigation. and certainly. the lynching of many other libyan. that supported. 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 killed in the nato strike. especially the united states which is leading in this case 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 image 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 three in libya the privatization of libya i must add that this is hypocritical on the part of a u.s. because they also had an ally in 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 latest on the mysterious death of colonel gadhafi at analysis of what's next for libya that's all valuable a click away at r.t. dot com. well stay with us coming your way in a few minutes. there is no victory to claim there's nothing to look back to 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 obedient 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 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 complain police are taking too heavy an approach to their continuing peaceful rallies are losing caffein 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 and eventually taken to jail if something is found on their physical body.

with some high level high profile activists taken away in handcuffs purnell west world except all the others several members of the ministry and 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 a 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 kept rather violently and taken aback to 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 that 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 changed called for by the activists is nowhere to be seen which is pushing israelis toward the growing worldwide occupy movement as artie's postie reports from tel aviv. anger outrage and protests on the streets of new york a throwback to the same scenes different streets around ten thousand kilometers away. in the united states exaggerated in the same way as the the in when they went too far in taking for granted the citizens occupy wall street it wasn't that long ago israelis were calling to occupy boulevard in a bid to join the protests from the beginning she was inspired by what happened in

cairo and called her tamed. car but here people are standing and were praying every evening and people are priming it. as you know watches even some fuld in far away new york she misses the six weeks she lived here and wishes she could be part of the wall street rallies i'm very proud of where i am i really mean right i'm going. to take a stand and to me how the protests in new york have strong parallels with those in israel and how they came about and why the similarity between the protest was 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 long enough looks like any of the streets in tel aviv but the focal point of

social change revolutionizing its role at the table the payment made with the bikers and the social demands. still waiting to be made. like many american has rabies and he's watching the u.s. rennie's closely and sees them an inspiration to many in israel he's proud people are taking a stand against corruption and the protests the struggle and the anger is in the people still and the struggle is still going to go on a view that more and more people live on the globe seemed to share. tel aviv stay with us here on r t coming up later in the hour this hour the voice of the protest. little going to comic reform the whole of both parties i think we want to party parties resident in new york laurie harper his visits lower manhattan to find out what the central message is that's uniting occupy wall street protesters. but first the widow of former russian agent alexander litvinenko as admitted her

husband was working for british intelligence new details were revealed at a full inquest launched five years ago after living enco died of radiation poisoning in london was artie's ever better reports it might see some uncomfortable truths about britain the spiraling as ations come to light. 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. agents but lugovoy says he's got nothing to hide so. nobody really expected me at the free inquest hearing even though british officials claim that 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 but this girl won't look at boys lawyers last week echoed

calls from a live in yonkers widow for a full inquest which is now finally being ordered but that's prompted yet another twist in a case already steeped in intrigue a lot of. my lawyers and i put ourselves food as an interested party so live in yonkers we don't often was forced to admit her husband was a paid agent of m i five and m i six o'clock that he worked for britain's intelligence and not just as a consultant she had no other choice she realized you might get involved in the inquest this will be reviewed anyway because i know a few facts that will force the british court to ask m i five an m i six a few questions. until now marina late been yankers 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 brush embarrassment on carpet and i said if it had been consulting for them or

working with them and he died in a highly. in the tourist circumstances on their patch then you have of course they would be asked questions about not offering protection to people and also not offering protection to the london public you know if it's. traveling into ten left 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 abundance chief suspect has 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 a death which however horrible to an accusation that mr lugovoy was responsible is is ludicrous i mean it's all looks very fishy joy 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 the day he fell ill and that's when he's alleged to have been poisoned forensics did find a contaminated teapot but the link from that to lewd avoid 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. me. 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've been it r t london. euro zone finance ministers have agreed to give greece the next installment of its bellowed cash the debt stricken country will get eighty billion euros in november

authority to tina as it became known and this was a false word then it was merely a pretext to bring in the financial ization to replace manufacturing the economy put millions of people out of work and if they complained star wars and sent him off to foreign countries getting blown apart now they're repeating tina there is no alternative there was an alternative then and there is an alternative now it's called insurrection. come your way 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 in military spending a lone ranger or a blogger an iraqi american political activist thinks that withdrawal from iraq is a stain is a step forward for both sides but it doesn't guarantee the end of u.s. influence is very important milestone i think it ought not to have been waiting for this is the last eight years we want to hear this military occupation is all over all 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. under the state department all for all political leaders of 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 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. there is no victory because there is nothing to look back at it has been a disaster that should not have happened it's a disaster of this destruction and the u.s. has been a problem in the door to the intervention stop that i'm very happy that the u.s. is ending that mention because i think this will help the iraqis move forward and put the country in that i. always plenty of stories eye catching video and analysis on our team dot com here's what's a click away right now. a powerful as late founder steve jobs planning an all out fight with google to find out why plus.

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 movement or revolution or anything like that throughout history has issued a statement within their 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 the tension and a.d.d. world and they need a sound but are there often that the current dominant paradigm and where looking to give examples of what alternative paradigms could exist i tried to come in. for a couple of hours so a lot of people are saying that the message isn't unified and that's an issue that

the movement is having its problem communicating but i don't see it as an issue. because do you feel like it's a unified i think it is ultimately this is a big battle of ideas there's fifteen different worldviews per 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 and 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 profiling theme to it everybody is disenfranchised with something you're saying education on how gas some guy over there just said shipping jobs out of the country that through their stuff a part of it i mean there's not one thing i just said it's not just one thing and there's a bunch of different reasons out that i'm part of that too i mean i definitely agree with that the fact that there's shipping jobs in the country we don't need

any more so so how would you sum it up in one clear sentence what the message is 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 message which they feel like is the very strike of the movements. coming up in a few minutes moscow takes to the skies but first i'll be back with the headlines stay with us.

the lose. lose. lose. lose lose lose.

twelve thirty pm in moscow these iraqi headlines nato ready to end its seven month operation in libya following the death of the country's ousted leader meanwhile the u.n. wants an answer to exactly how colonel gadhafi and his son died images released after their capture suggest they were killed violently while in captivity. another round of anti-corporate rallies in new york has seen dozens of activists and arrested despite this the occupy wall street movement still going strong inspiring copycat protests for social and economic change over the world.
