one pm in moscow i met treasurer good to have you with us here on r t our top story there is 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 a life before he was killed meanwhile nato says it's winding down its bombing campaign in the country artes and he said no 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 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 to even piers that he's alive he actually goes in touch this head wipes the blood away and then
5:02 am
there's a time and it seems that maybe he will be 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 a wall smoking a cigarette very clear the 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 we've been very critical about neda's mission here in libya 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 he was killed in these pictures that we saw were perhaps not the best possible way to go that at the time we visited and it is the footage shown on t.v. 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 night planes and officers not the rebels captured members of that. boy it has been repeated numerous times that nato planes
5:03 am
are now you have a u.n. mandate to ensure a no fly zone over libya and the convoy wasn't parties are going to threat to civilians on the ground and could be a legitimate target of. actions pose a number of questions as well. as speaking of that no fly zone which 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 in the days when you know october thirty first but it has to be said officially nato mission is very much alive here in libya gadhafi is body is in a walk in refrigerator now in the swamps and already way beyond the twenty four hour mark and how he had been buried by muslim tradition 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 n.t.s.c.
5:04 am
troops and the doubt 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 very few people obviously were on the streets last night asking what's next for the beyond they can answer that question was 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 some kind of tribal war that there's going to be this how the world community has begun to think what will we see happening here in the upcoming months and years. or you can follow the latest from our correspondent in libya and he said now weighs twitter feed bring you the very latest developments from the troubled region. with libya urged to be transparent about gadhafi his death dr matas in qusayr 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 of the
5:05 am
death of a deaf ear and certainly the lynching of many other libyan members of the. 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 nato and 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 it i would say for decades that they would want that fear in libya because that's their aim is to control libya affect change in libya in such a way to make it easier for reinstituting an american base in libya which i existed until nine hundred sixty nine and to control the all oil industry in libya and the
5:06 am
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 collaborated with the cia and with the west for the past nine years or eight years. and our web site you can find the latest on the mysterious death of colonel gadhafi an analysis of what's next for libya all that and plenty more at our team dot com well stay with us here on r t still to come in a few minutes. there is no excuse to claim there's nothing to do but a look at the legacy of the u.s. eight year long campaign in iraq as barack obama confirms the remaining u.s. troops are going to be pulling out this year plus. i saw him coming out of the obedient cafeteria being offered to gunshots and my dad pulled down he died immediately and i didn't even say goodbye to him kosovo serbs say they're living in
5:07 am
fear with attacks and killings part of everyday life despite the presence of an 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 artie's lucy coven of has more from new york. 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 was searched and eventually taken to jail if something is found on their physical body. we saw the highest level high profile activists taken away in handcuffs at her no
5:08 am
less peril day except on the 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 please. precincts that we saw the police actually target and i reporter a journalist who had been trying to film the events just like we were the police officers and went after him physically at which point several activists and below to put their bodies to try to protect him and keep him from getting arrested those two activists who were then cut rather violently and taken in the back of the police truck 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 another country
5:09 am
that's recently witnessed weeks of protests and calls for social justice but while the tent camps are gone the change demanded by activists is nowhere to be seen which is pushing israelis toward the growing worldwide occupy movement as artie's policy reports. anger outreach and protests on the streets of new york a throwback to the same scenes different streets around ten thousand kilometers away. exaggerated in this thing is the. far in taking for granted the citizens occupy wall street it wasn't that long ago israelis were calling to occupy. your name in a bid to join the protests from the beginning she was inspired by what happened in cairo and caught her taint. here people were thinking and were praying
5:10 am
every evening and people are priming it. 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 by the birth. i remember right on my face and anyhow. the protests in new york have strong parallels with those in israel and how they came about and why the similarity between the protest is 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 is one achieved recommendations made by government committee still need to be implemented and that could take a long enough look like any of the streets in tel aviv but the flip the focal point of social change the way beliefs and i think it's probably a bit tame the payment made with the bike and the social demands of still waiting
5:11 am
to be made. like many american is rabies many is watching the u.s. readies closely and says they are an inspiration to many in israel he's proud people are taking a stand against corruption and to protest 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 around the globe seem to share please see on television. stay with us here on our t.v. coming up later the voice of protest. little going to comic reform because both parties i think we want to party parties resident in new york laurie harshness business lower manhattan to find out what the central message is uniting the occupy wall street protesters. but first the way to a former russian agent alexander litvinenko has admitted her husband was working for british intelligence services new details were revealed in the fall inquest launched five years after live in co died of radiation poisoning in london as artie's ivory better reports it might see someone comfortable true is brought to
5:12 am
light about britain's spire 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. agents but lugovoy says he's got nothing to hide. from nobody really expected me at the free inquest hearing even though british officials claim that i'm hiding from justice and his lawyers annoy found out about it by sheer chance had we not found out i think the british press would have used us once again hiding from justice roberts go and look at boys lawyers last week echoed calls from live with his widow for a full inquest which is now finally been ordered but that's prompted yet another twist in a case already steeped in intrigue that all of. my lawyers and i put ourselves food
5:13 am
as an interested party so live in yonkers we don't often was forced to admit her husband was a paid agent of mit five an m i six but 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 could just brush embarrassment country carpet and as i said if it had been consulting for them or working with them and he died in highly. the tourist second fact is on their patch then you have if course they would be questioned about not offering
5:14 am
protection to people and also not offering protection to the london public you know . as this trial playing 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 abundance chief suspect but 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 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 new
5:15 am
boy for breakfast here but they he fell ill and that's when he's alleged to have been poisoned forensics did find the contaminated teapot but the link from back to lou void 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 they 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 r t london. eurozone finance ministers agreed to give greece the next installment of its bailout money the debt stricken country will get eight billion euros come november once the international monetary fund signs off on it posterity measures introduced by athens to secure the loan have been met with violent protests and strikes mounting pressure on people in greece and other countries may cost the government

5:18 am
influence. is very important milestone i think you. have been waiting for this is the last eight years we want to hear this military occupation is over. is a major step in but i actually unfortunately it does not necessarily mean the end of the u.s. involvement intervention in iraq because the u.s. is planning to keep sixteen thousand. under the state department over all the political leaders and not against keeping some u.s. . to train the new iraqi army on using. just 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 a disaster there is no victory because there is nothing to look back at it has been
5:19 am
a disaster that should not have happened it's a disaster of death and destruction and the u.s. has been a part of the problem in the door to the intervention very happy that the u.s. is ending its intervention because i think this will help iraqis move forward and put the country in truck. remember there is always plenty of stories videos and analysis a click away at our team dot com here's what's online for you right now writing the wrong find out why apple's late founder steve jobs was willing to spend every penny penny of his company's fourteen forty billion dollars in an all out war against google plus. storage blastoff a russian soyuz rocket launches from a french space base in the tropics carrying the e.u.'s first sat nav system aiming

security council has unanimously adopted a resolution calling for yemen's president saleh to immediately step down the first resolution since massive protests began eight months ago dictates the leader must transfer power to his deputy and and escalating violence sally is accused by many yemenis of pushing the country into civil war and clinging to power despite mounting pressure to put. finally in this news block with the occupy wall street movement reaching its one month anniversary many wonder what exactly has united so many people in protest artie's resident laurie harford as went to the center of the action to ask people what brought them there. a month into 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
5:26 am
a month old. october seventeenth was or 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 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 down by now and has the potential of a d.d. world and they need a soundbite are there off of the current dominant paradigm and we're looking to give examples of what alternative paradigms could exist and i tried to come every day for a couple of hours so a lot of people are saying that the message is it unified and that's an issue that the movement is having its problem communicating but i don't see it is an issue.
5:27 am
because do you feel like it i'll 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 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 big. feelings fim to it everybody's disenfranchised with something you're saying education how can somebody over there just said shipping jobs out of the country that to their stuff a part of it i mean it's not one thing i said it's not just one thing and there's a bunch of different reasons of that i'm part of that too i mean i definitely agree with that the fact that they're shipping jobs in the country we don't need any more so so how would you sum it up in one clears that tends what the message is here.
5:28 am
political and economic reform the whole of both parties i think we want to new 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 strength of the movements. and in a few moments a scandal behind the week's financial headlines and the kaiser report will be back with a recap of our top story short. the

of the future coverage. one thirty pm in moscow the zero headlines nato prepares 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 die images released after their capture suggest they were killed in violently while in captivity. another round of anti-corporate protests in new york seized dozens of activists arrested despite this the occupy wall street movement still going strong inspiring copycat demos and economic change all over the world. widow of former russian agent alexander litvinenko admits her husband worked for u.k. intelligence services revelation made in a full inquest launched five years after living code died every.
