6:01 am
he is coming to you live from the heart of moscow with me rory sushi it's good to have you with us 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 which shows gadhafi taken alive but before being killed meanwhile nato said it's winding down its bombing campaign in the country artes and he said now we now have the latest from the libyan capital 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 if he didn't fears
6:02 am
that he's alive he actually goes and touches his head quite some blood away and then there's a heart i know it seems that he was dead in those later pictures the same thing with one of his sons that was captured in syria the 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 are that we've been very critical about nato mission here in libya not that something needs to be done about an investigation the u.n. is running 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 go because. it's 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 after that the rebels
6:03 am
captured members of that convoy but it has been repeated numerous times that nato planes are now 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 so nato 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 how russia pushing for that mission to end to soon as possible the date when you know it is october thirty first but it has to be said officially nato mission. it's very much alive here in libya gadhafi is body is in a walk in refrigerator now in misrata and already way beyond the twenty four hour mark 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
6:04 am
still very tense just a couple of days ago there was a shootout between m.t.c. troops and feel loyalist a 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 asking what's next for libya and they couldn't answer that question 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 the world community has begun to think what will we see happen here in the upcoming months and years. and i were reporting right there and remember you can i was followed in libya. streamers are bringing you the very latest from the troubled region. well the u.n. is. died but london based journalist and author afshin rattansi says it should have been more involved in monitoring events. bit late for the united nations human
6:05 am
rights council in the beginnings of this war they relied on media reports and i hope to get on to the media manipulation of the war because they should have been relying on u.n. fact finding missions the u.n. human rights council report will no doubt be delayed and will see what happens as to what the americans think well we saw what the us secretary of state thinks about the killing of prisoners of war and as has been said many times i've used some channels i'm going to tell you that on the mainstream media and no one is saying that nato and its allies wanted to get out three dead one recently killing a prisoner of war as an international crime i presume the international criminal court will be hot on the heels of all those major leaders who are being responsible for this now that presumably liberalism will be brought to libya won't be attempted to be brought because we've got to remember that there are also islamist factions there in libya as well we can assume that the libyan population will learn what it
6:06 am
is to live in a capitalist country. well on our website you can find the latest on the mysterious killing of analysis of what's next for all of. your way here in just a few minutes. to clear the. record a look at the legacy of america's eight year campaign in iraq. that the remaining troops are leaving. plus. i saw him coming out of the old medium cafeteria heard two gunshots and my dad pulled down he died immediately i didn't even say good bye to him because of those. living in fear of attacks and killings part of everyday life despite the presence of international. there's been another round of protest arrests in new york corporate demonstrators
6:07 am
complain police are taking too heavy in approach to continuing their peaceful rallies. the heart of the protests that inspired a global movement. as the numbers of the protests continue to increase so does it 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 police precincts 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 high level high profile activists taken away in handcuffs at colonel west world except on the others several members of the ministry and several religious leaders were also
6:08 am
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 who went after him physically at which point several activists and below him them with their bodies to try to protect him and keep him from getting arrested those two activists were then handcuffed 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. reporting right that well israel is a country which has recently witnessed weeks of protests on calls for social
6:09 am
justice but while the tent comes to gong change to moan about the posts there's no way to be saying it's pushing israelis towards the growing worldwide occupy movement. reports. anger outrage and protests on the streets of new york a throwback to the same scenes different streets around ten thousand kilometers away politicians in the united states exaggerated in the same way as the politicians. 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 bid join the protests from the beginning she was inspired by what happened in cairo and caught her taint tapio corner well they had a car but here people were standing you were praying over it we are every evening and people are coming and going to ours as you know watches events unfold in far
6:10 am
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 hour that was dire i remember it right ok i have two days an hour and seventy how the protests in new york have strong parallels with those in israel in 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 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 this looks like any other street in tel aviv but let's put the focal point of the social change revolution i think its role of attaining the beam of faith with bikers and the social demands are still waiting to be made. like many american
6:11 am
is rabies coffman is watching the u.s. rallies closely and says they are an inspiration to many in israel he's proud people are taking a stand against corruption and greed the protest the struggle and the anger. when the people stop and the struggle is still going to go on i view that more and more people around the globe seem. to have it. here with r.t. live from moscow and a little bit later for you this hour the voice of protest. going to reform the whole of both parties i think we want to party resident often this is it's a lower manhattan to find out just what central message is you know i think the occupy wall street protest. britain should quit the european union that's what a group of campaigners is calling for in london other peoples a pledge believe that the e.u. undermines britain's sovereignty as costing too much that i'm on for a nationwide referendum will be discussed in parliament on monday and the group is
6:12 am
gathering for a congress in london we can cross live there and if you are john mills or the chairman of the people's pledge thank you for joining us today mr mills the e.u. is going through a tough period now with the eurozone debt crisis two thousand and eleven has been a terrible year for the eurozone but it needs the support of strong economies more than ever now why do you want the u.k. to leave now. well that the people's pledge is not just about whether britain should leave the european union it's about whether there should be a referendum to allow the british people to decide whether they want to be full of the european union or somewhere in the middle or to leave altogether our campaign is about democracy specifically leave in the e.u. although a lot of our supporters are very concerned about our terms of membership in the way the european unit is going i do think we're better off outside what you mention you mention your support of them how big is the support for your proposal here. the
6:13 am
support is very substantial i mean to bring poles down recently particularly about whether there should be a referendum and that's a very clear majority of all political parties in the u.k. . people who want to have a referendum on our membership not all those people want britain to come out but a lot of them want britain to stay in but on the issue of democracy and whether the people should decide what happens there is a very large majority across the electorate in the u.k. in favor of having a referendum right now in the u.k. chancellor george osborne said that the crisis the crisis in the eurozone is a real danger to europe's economies including britain but britain isn't even in the euro zone so why worry. well i think the collapse of the euro and the problems that that would generate in europe would have a very significant impact on the u.k. and this is obviously a batter of grave concern i mean what the people of the countries in europe decide
6:14 am
to do is really their business and britain outside the euro is concerned about the of mounting costs and only the promise of a car over tried but also the additional. have to pay into the eurozone we don't want to see the euro go to pay and economy collapsing a troll. just of the e.u. if things carry on the way they are clearly we would just. be countries in europe britain wants to go there should be an opportunity for people to decide on that issue if indeed they are a friend and does take place in. nineteen seventy five at the time the majority of the british public supported the country being part of europe tell us what's changed. happened thirty six years since that happened when the people voted in one thousand seventy five to join what was then the common market was a trade block it was not the. station we now have in brussels which is taken
6:15 am
on enormous new powers since then we think the time has come when people should have a second go at deciding whether they want to support what's happening there. we should in the nicest possible way go our separate ways when you when you mention. talk of some countries quitting. if the u.k. leaves the e.u. the end of a unified europe you think. well i don't think it necessarily would mean a k. a complete break atoll i mean there are obviously lots and lots of ways in which britain would want to cooperate with other countries in europe in any circumstances . but that's not quite the same as britain being part of the united states of europe which does seem to be very much the direction in which a lot of people on the continent of europe want to see things moving. right john mills the chairman of the people's pledge live in london many things.
6:16 am
the widow of former russian agent alexander litvinenko has admitted that her husband was working for british intelligence the new details were revealed at a full inquest launched five years after litvinenko died of radiation poisoning in london and as a bennett reports it might see some uncomfortable truths about britain's spy organizations coming 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 as a quote regrettably did nobody really expected me at the pre 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
6:17 am
press would have accused us once again of hiding from justice. league of always lawyers last week echoed calls from a live in yonkers 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 at all the one where no one there but my lawyers and i put ourselves food as an interested party so live in yonkers we don't i was forced to admit her husband was a paid agent of mit five an 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 if i get involved in the inquest this will be revealed anyway because i know a few facts that will force a 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 this is mission leaves m i five facing awkward questions in an inquest they were
6:18 am
the only party trying to limit and they did take it for granted that they can 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 circumstances on their patch then you have of course they would be questioned about not offering protection to people and also not offering protection to the london public you. as the trail clinging to 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 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 my death which however horrible to an accusation that mr lugovoy was responsible is
6:19 am
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 live in yankee met lugovoy 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 that to lose a 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 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.
6:20 am
all right now i told you twenty minutes past the hour here in the russian capital u.s. president barack obama has announced an end to american military involvement in iraq ordering all american 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. soldiers have died in that time and the wars cost u.s. taxpayers over seven hundred billion dollars in the military spending alone. blogger and iraqi american a political activist thinks that withdrawal from iraq is a step forward for both sides but it doesn't guarantee the end of u.s. influence. is a very important milestone i think iraqis in general have been waiting for this is the last eighty years they want to hear this military occupation is over it's all for all and it is a major step in but i. fortunately it does not necessarily mean the end of the u.s. involvement and intervention in iraq because the u.s.
6:21 am
is planning to keep sixteen thousand person under the state department over 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 granting them immunity because there 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 to claim there's nothing to look back at. that should not have happened it's a disaster of this destruction the u.s. has been a part of iraq's problem. daughter two decades since the intervention started very happy that the u.s. is ending its intervention because i think this will help iraqis move forward and put the country in that i. you with our always plenty of stories eye catching
6:22 am
videos and analysis on our website dot com some of the items are waiting for you there right now or writing the wrong find out why apple's late creator steve jobs was willing to spend every penny of his company's forty billion dollars for an all out war against google also. during the last off russian soyuz rocket launches from a french space based on the truck carrying the first son of system aiming to break the dominance of america's g.p.s. it was a full take off but our team called. at least a thousand serbs and nato soldiers in riot gear remain in a faceoff on the cause of our border troops try to overnight to remove barricades formed from vehicles rocks mud and logs but were prevented by serbs guarding the blockade minded tonsils were reported but ultimately no one was injured and it
6:23 am
comes just days after k. four soldiers resorted to tear gas and pepper spray to disperse the crowd and the trouble. is in the region for us. as months of tension between serbs. and of course the worst continue roads in northern cos they remain closed for some serbs of four to find their barricades and see themselves again as victims of history these cartoon reads we defeated your granddad's we defeated your father's will we again local serbs compare the nature led peacekeeping force in kosovo ok for you to fascist occupiers of the past then why do they think that they can come and take our land serbia is our home we don't want to live in albania. look how their own and. we have nothing but flag and free from god some two hundred meters away they took a four soldiers keep watching i would. peaceful solution by talks by an
6:24 am
agreement 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 do 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 in northern course of a remains the standoff between k. four soldiers and local serbs of violence is no closer to resolution but people from both sides of the barricades are glad to avoid any further violence but away from media glare hostility is common place this twenty three year old syrian man was with his father when he was shot just three weeks ago visiting an old ben village in courses south where serbs a minority live in time and place i was waiting for him in a car and i saw him coming out of the albini and cafeteria when i heard two
6:25 am
gunshots and my dad fall down i rushed to him but i was worried he died immediately i didn't even say goodbye to him nobody would shows us his wounds he was shocked when his father's killers try to eliminate the only witness. i will never return to that place be able to i'm worrying about my fellow and myself in a separate incident just last week in under an armed service was killed in a confrontation with a local these two men together with their friend mere drug they follow their big family went to sea which used to be served 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 yorker pio we talked for five minutes then he said he needed to come back to his car to take in some form but came back instead with a kalashnikov do you want to alarm barky shouted and started firing at us drug was killed at the scene the man who just lost their friends they there is only one
6:26 am
reason he was killed but 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 reef nationality course of. our twenty six minutes past the hour here in moscow with the occupy wall street movement reaching its one month anniversary many are wondering what exactly has united so many people in protest the resident laurie halfassed went to the center of the action to ask people what brought them together. a month into the occupy wall street movement is there a unified message 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
6:27 am
a strength that we currently have. as a movement were 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 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 now and has the potential. and they need a sound bite or they're off of the current dominant paradigm and where looking to give examples of what alternative paradigms could exist 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
6:28 am
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 and health care some guy over there just said shipping jobs out of the country through the stuff we part of it i mean there's not one thing i guess that it's not just one thing and there's a bunch of different reasons other part of it too i mean i agree with 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. 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 which they feel like is the very strength of the movements. will take you to the russian. ship building tradition is still.
6:29 am
just a moment. it's a life long dream for many. months brave real loon to steer the ship. and genuine love to history are required. people who revive the internet. are sailing through the centuries.
