complex nato presence what it calls a successful campaign in libya but the death of gadhafi is raising questions. global pressure grows to find out whether gadhafi was killed in crossfire or executed joining me and he's now in tripoli for more details. dozens of new arrests new york new york reply wall street protests are still going strong current people seeking social and economic justice in asia and the middle east. and a double game an inquest into the death of former russian agent alexander litvinenko uncovers that he actually worked for british intelligence. a very warm welcome to you this is r.t.

live from moscow with me. there's a growing international pressure for an investigation into exactly how libya's ousted dictator moammar gadhafi died un expressed concern over video footage taken that followed his capture shows him alive but first killed shortly thereafter meanwhile nato said it's winding down its bombing campaign in the country but i think. 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 of the it appears that he's alive he actually goes and touches head right some blood away and then there's a time and it seems that he was dead in the 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 the 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 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 like the way he 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 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 after that the rebels captured members of that convoy 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 are using any threat to civilians on the

ground and could be illegitimate 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 it was a procedure that doesn't and the soonest possible the date when you know it is october thirty first but it has to be said officially nato mission. he'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 things had been buried by muslim tradition the official liberation ceremony will take place in benghazi we're hearing it will take place they are going to force 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. troops and feel loyalists of those most of these celebrations have been taking

place obviously officials of 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 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 this hour the world community has begun to think what will we see happening here in the coming months and years. talking to me so now i'm reporting right there on the breadline you can follow and you saw all throughout libya on stream are bringing you the very latest about offense from the troubled region. well the u.n. is going to address the question so how did a few died but london based journalist and author afshin rattansi says it should have been a more involved in a monitoring events. late for the united nations human rights council in the beginnings of this war they relied on media reports and hope to get on 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 we'll see what happens as to what the americans think well we saw what the u.s. secretary of state thinks about the killing of prisoners of war and as has been said many times at least on some generals i'm going to tell you that the mainstream media and no one is saying that nato and its allies wanted to get out one person dead killing a prisoner of war is international crime i presume we have to that's a criminal court will be hot on the heels of all those major leaders who are being responsible for this now that presumably neoliberalism will be brought to libya or 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 is to live in a capitalist country. i don't know what you can find the latest on the mysterious

killing of colonel gadhafi and analysis so what's next for us all that. common are still to come for you here are teachers a few minutes away for you. it is not because you came to do it is nothing to look back and look at the legacy of america's eight year campaign in iraq proper obama confirms that the remaining troops are leaving this year. there's been another round of protest arrests in new york and he called for demonstrators complain that police are taking too heavy an approach to the continuing peaceful rallies are things that you see kept on a fence at the heart of the protests that inspired a global movement. as the numbers of the protests continue to increase it seems the 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 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 senate benchley taken to jail if something is found on their physical body. we saw high level high profile activists taken away in handcuffs that colonel west pearl did some 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 acts of civil disobedience nonviolent disobedience standing peacefully silently in front of the police precincts now 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 and went after him physically at which point several activists and below tempt them with their bodies to try to protect them and keep them from getting arrested those who activists were then handcuffed rather violently and taken it

back 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. that is another country which was recently witnessed or weeks of protests on calls for social justice while the tent comes to gong changed monograph to vist there's no way to be seen so a lot of pushing israelis towards the growing worldwide occupy movement so the reports. anger outrage and protests on the streets of new york a throwback to the same scenes different streets around ten thousand kilometers away but the politicians in the united states exaggerated in the same way as the this is where they went too far in taking for granted their

citizens occupy wall street it wasn't that long ago israelis were calling to occupy what's child boulevard your name in a bid to join the protests from the beginning she was inspired by what happened in cairo and quarter attained tapio corner. here people were feeding you were playing with it was it every evening and people are coming in or out in three hours 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 really break ok i will go back to base and really hold the purchase in new york of 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 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 there was 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 like any other street in tel aviv but the focal point of the full page revolutionising is roll the tape will be replayed with bikers and the social demands are still waiting to be made. like many american has rabies and he called for many 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 to protest the struggle of younger. when the people stopped and the trial was still going to go on i view them more and more people around the globe seem to share policy r t tel aviv. so are you with r.t. live from moscow and later this hour by the voice of protest. a little good i cannot reform because both parties i think we want to party parties resident laurie

happiness visits to lower manhattan to find out just what central message is uniting the occupy wall street protests. right now eleven minutes past the hour here in moscow a britain should quit the european union that's what a group of complainants is calling for in london other people's pledge believe the e.u. undermines britain's sovereignty and is costing too much demand for a nationwide referendum will be pursued in parliament on monday by the group is open to congress in london we can cross live there now in a speech to douglas castle a conservative m.p. and supporter and council member for the people's pleasure thank you for coming on the program today the e.u. it's wonderful now it's been a tough year with the whole eurozone of the crippling debt crisis now at a time when the e.u. needs england why do you want why do you want the u.k. to leave now. for two reasons it's costing us a great deal of money we're spending billions of pounds bailing out a currency we didn't even choose to join but it's not just about economics it's

about democracy for too long in this country we've left it to the political elite to decide these questions if you believe in democracy surely you should trust the people the people need to have a say should we stay in the european union should we leave the european union or should we fundamentally renegotiate our position within the european union it's time to have this debate and have it discussed publicly so as you say to focus not just on economics but also fundamentally that of democracy as well we understand the public support for leaving the e.u. is actually quite high in britain but many politicians including the prime minister are opposed to the idea what are the chances of the u.k. actually leaving you. well i think we will eventually get an in out referendum i mean it's going to take some time and this vote on monday i'm sorry to say i don't think will actually achieve the outcome that we need but it's a step in the right direction the momentum for a referendum is now growing it's now becoming unstoppable what we're seeing on

monday is significant because it's the first time in a generation when the question of britain's membership of the european union has been put on the agenda and it shows it's not a settled question now you're right a lot of politicians don't want to talk about this a lot of politicians don't like to even think about it but the people want to discuss tony it's not going to go away but it certainly seems like this movement is gaining some steam here but i know the u.k. has been part of the unified europe for almost four decades now surely one of the must have been some benefits to it. well when we join the european union in the early one nine hundred seventy s. we thought we were joining a prosperous trading bloc europe at that time constituted about thirty six percent of global g.d.p. it turns out but by twenty twenty year paul account for about fifteen percent of global g.d.p. so you know far from joining a prosperous trading bloc we shackled ourselves to an economic corpse you know the economic rationale for being in the european union i think has largely gone we want to be global players we want to have free trade relationships with the world not

just with belgium and a few indebted states across the channel now on a more domestic front you know you're part of the conservative party is there a fair amount of dissension in the ranks here is a prime minister is absolutely against what you're saying. well the political elites in all parties are denying or trying to do what they can to deny a referendum even structure their m.p.'s on monday to vote against this motion but the key thing you've got to understand here is that all three parties were promising us a referendum on europe until very very recently so it's almost as if it's the. literally against the will of the people and you know ultimately as we know from what happens around the world ultimately you can't stop democracy we're going to have this referendum eventually this week marks an important stepping stone towards that now you look at the likes of all of greece italy spain portugal it's been a tough year two thousand and eleven has been very difficult for members of the

eurozone there are there is talk of are some countries quitting this european neighborhood if the u.k. was to leave the e.u. could this almost be the beginning of the end for a unified europe. i hope it is the beginning of an end for a year it. should in arranged by the grand design of technocrats in brussels you know what we need to see is the breakup of the year a say that once again people have a currency that suits the people rather than trying to make people see the currency you see in greece she initially she you know an enormous sacrifice is being imposed upon ordinary folks hardworking people to prop up a currency that is the grand design of a rotten political establishment that is the fundamental problem we need a europe where. arrangements are made to suit the people not. we do apologize that we just just lost the connection there with douglas carswell a conservative m.p. and advisory council member for the people's pledge about this referendum about

this vote for a referendum about england and its troubles with more details on that on our website r.t. dot com or as we carry on here in r.t. are the widow of former russian agent alexander litvinenko who's admitted her husband was working for british intelligence but the new details were revealed at a full inquest launched five years after lippman enco died of radiation poisoning in london and aussies i thought bennett reports might see someone come from truths about britain's spy organisations coming to light. according to britain this is a man on the run and barry 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 further. nobody really expected me to preach in quest 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 rebecca luker voice lawyers last week echoed calls from a libyan in cars window for a full inquest which is now finally being ordered prevents prompted yet another twist in a case already steeped in intrigue and all that when one goes in there my lawyers and i put ourselves forward as an interested party so live in yonkers widow was forced to admit her husband was a paid agent of m i five and m i six but he worked for britain's intelligence and not just as a consultant she had no other choice she realised 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 in my five an m i six a few questions. until now marina live in yonkers always denied any such link she says she 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 the only party trying to limit and they didn't take it for granted that they can just brush embarrassment on the carpet and i said if you had been consulting for them or working with them and he died in highly. in the tourist circumstances on their patch then you have of course they would be after questions about not offering protection to people and also not offering protection to the london public if the trail of polonium two hundred ten across the city living in could died a slow and painful death. caused by the lethal radioactive substance polonium two ten the unsolved case has been a thorn in the side of british russian relations with moscow refusing to extradite bunda 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 i

guess which i were horrible to an accusation that mr lugovoy was responsible is is ludicrous i mean this 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 boy for breakfast here the day he fell ill and that's when he's alleged to have been poisoned forensics did find the contaminated teapot the link from back to move forward 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 artie wondered. all right art is coming to you live from moscow where it's now at twenty past the hour russia has issued a blacklist of u.s. citizens banned from entering the country it's a response to america's so-called kill list made up of russians allegedly involved in the death of lawyer. russia as the list includes restrictions on people suspected of authorizing torture at one time obey the abduction of terrorist suspects under violation of human rights in july the u.s. state department banned around sixty senior russian officials including interior ministry workers and judges prosecutors and prison officials so again it's he was arrested in two thousand and eight thought tax evasion he died in custody a year later after allegedly being denied medical care. right so that's always a pleasure more stories eye catching videos and analysis on our web site. on the items there right now let's have a look righting the wrongs find out why apple's

and iraqi american political activist things that they would draw from iraq is a step forward for both sides but it doesn't guarantee the end of u.s. influence. very important milestone i think your archy's in general have been waiting for this is the last eighty years you want to hear this u.s. military occupation is or what it's all for all it is to me and what i'd better 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 over all the iraqi political leaders are not against keeping some u.s. . to train the new iraqi army on using. just u.s. weapons are against granting them immunity because good have been a long list of crimes that were committed killing iraqi civilians with no

accountability for the us intervention and occupation of iraq has been disastrous there is no victory to claim there's nothing to look at it has been a disaster that should not have happened it's a disaster of death and destruction and the us has been a part of iraq's problem in the last decade or two that the intervention started very happy that the us is. intervention because i think this will help iraqis move forward but i. you would r.t. now let's get to some other international headlines for you this hour time for the world update here the heir to the saudi arabian throne prince sultan bin abdul aziz outside has died at eighty five year old defense minister was traveling abroad for medical tests at the time he brings into focus the health of saudi arabia's aging royalty especially king abdullah who is now eighty seven is our product najaf is next in line and even he is seventy eight. hundreds of ethnic serbs in northern

cause of prevented nato peacekeepers from removing their makeshift barricades the troops moved in under the cover of night but were met by serbs who refused to give ground the border dispute in northern cause of oh it's not been going on for months just days ago nato soldiers used tear gas and pepper spray to disperse the serbs are trying to prevent because of our setting up a customs checkpoint. the u.s. has reached an agreement with north korea allowing it to search for the remains of american soldiers killed during the korean war so it will resume next year after a six year hiatus following tension over pyongyang's nuclear program the remains of over two hundred american soldiers were found between one thousand nine hundred six and two thousand and five before the end of recovery operations. thailand's prime minister says that the floods causing chaos across the country could take up to six weeks to recede at least three hundred fifty six people have died so far and that

number is only increasing over one hundred thousand have been displaced from the water logged homes in areas where the cost of damage to factories homes and farmlands to make it to be in the billions of dollars. but with the occupy wall street movement reaching its one month anniversary many are wondering what exactly has united so many people in protest the residents along harvest went to the center of the action to ask people what brought them. 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 a strength that we currently have. as a movement we 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 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 soundbite now and has the potential of a.d.d. world and they need a soundbite are there often that 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 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 how cast 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 have it's not just one thing and there's a bunch of different reasons that i'm part of that too i mean i definitely agree with that the fact that they're shipping jobs of the country we don't need that anymore so so how would you sum it up in one clear sentence what the messages 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 not that they feel like it's the very strike. so i could have you with us here. but i do say you stay around if you can actually discover whether alternative cinema can actually change hollywood headlines in just a few minutes.
