treat without gadhafi and the nato the shady circumstances of the colonel's death casts a bloodstain shadow over the nation's future. global pressure grows to find out whether going down he was killed in crossfire or executed join me and he says no way in tripoli for more details. new york season dozens of new arrests during peaceful and she called for a demonstration as the occupy wall street movement pro stronger inspiring more people all across the world to call for economic justice. as e.u. ministers gather in brussels for another round of crisis talks euro skeptics in the u.k. are pushing for a nationwide referendum on britain's membership in the e.u. . and that's the inquiry into the death of former russian agent alexander litvinenko was given the green light by details that he was working with britain's secret services are running.

twenty four hour news live from moscow this is artsy with me warm reception libya's interim government is expected to announce the symbolic liberation of the country this of course following the death of colonel gadhafi on thursday and nato says it will wind down its military intervention in libya by the end of the month after an alliance strike stopped a convoy carrying the cut on the city of sirte allowing him to be captured alive but the unclear circumstances of how could he ended up dead shortly after have sparked international calls for an investigation some reports suggesting he was executed in cold blood and he said now it has the latest from the libyan capital. 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 of the it appears that he's alive he actually goes in touches head quite some blood away and then there's a guy i 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 other countries that have been very critical about nato mission here in libya not that something needs to be done about an investigation the u.n. is planning on launching an investigation in 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 do the footage shown on t.v. proves that he was captured alive and wounded and also that he was killed later there were reports that's a convoy carrying macondo was attacked by one hundred planes and also about the rebels captured members of our convoy has been repeated numerous times in one thousand planes are and you have a u.n. mandate to ensure a no fly zone over libya and the convoy wasn't present any threat to civilians on the ground and could be a legitimate target. actions pires 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 how russia person for that mission and as soon as possible they don't want to know is october thirty first because they said officially nato mission. it is very much alive here in libya gadhafi 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 about 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.g.c. troops and the da feel with the low mostly 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 of my asking what's next for libya and they can answer that question was the 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 power showing the world community has begun to think what will we see happen here in the upcoming months and years. you know with the reporting from tripoli and she's are keeping us updated on the developments in libya on line as

well just head over to our to use twitter stream to get the latest from. the international community trying to get to the bottom of it after his death a leaked video could very well provide the on so that everyone is looking for it sure it's a man calling himself a national transitional council fighter claiming he was the one who killed the colonel the suspect says that he personally beat to death before putting two bullets into him at point blank range as he didn't like the idea of taking a kernel of life he also flaunted what he calls a bloody shirt and a golden ring that he claims to have taken from the dictator the man's comments have not yet been confirmed author and journalist afshin rattansi thinks the international criminal court should bring the colonel's killers to justice. late for the united nations human rights council in the beginnings of this they relied on media reports and i hope to get on to that 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 be delayed and we'll see what happens as to what the americans think we saw what the u.s. secretary of state thinks about the killing of prisoners of war and as has been said many times some generals are going to tell you that the mainstream media or no one is saying that nato and its allies want to get out one. killing a prisoner of war this is the actual crime i presume the international criminal court will be part of the heels of all this later. responsible for this now that presumably liberalism will be to 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 move in a capitalist country. you with r.t. still ahead for you in the program double trouble british intelligence faces of awkward questions after it emerges that poisoned former k.g.b.

agent alexander litvinenko was also working for and i said. i know the u.s. president orders are the withdrawal of the thirty nine thousand troops from iraq by the end of the year as critics question whether the pullout will mark the end of america's influence. new york has seen yet another series of fancy corporate protests which were followed by another round of arrests activists accuse the police of being heavy handed towards those who were peacefully expressing their opinion. reports. 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 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 high level high profile activists taken away in handcuffs at colonel west for all day and some of the others several members of the ministry and several religious leaders were also taken away again just for performing what they say are simply at the 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 accidents and bullets hit them with their bodies to try to protect them and keep them from getting arrested those who 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 a movement that seems to have spread wide across the world not just here in the united states. reporting well israelis inspired by american archivists have spent weeks themselves of protesting and calling for social justice on the streets of tel aviv but all the. people are left wondering when the reforms promised them by the government will emerge. what's. anger outrage 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 the same way as the the this is where they went too far been taking for granted the

citizens occupy wall street it wasn't that long ago israelis were calling to occupy what's taught boulevard daniel a bit joined approaches from the beginning she was inspired by what happened in cairo and caught her taint tapio corner well they had car but here people were saving or were praying every evening and people are coming and going to our 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 by the birth are all right i really like the great uncle. jabez and they really hold the protests in new york are 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. 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 that's not fact any of the streets in tel aviv but it looks like the focal point of social change revolutionizing its role but the pain in the face with bikers and the social demands are still waiting to be. like many american israeli army kauffman is watching the u.s. rallies closely and sees there are an inspiration to many in israel he's proud people are taking a stand against corruption and greed 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 policy r.t. tel aviv. and i have for you this hour here on r.t. the passion behind the protest. look at i cannot reform the whole of both parties i think we want to party artie's in new york president lower half of us to

find out what uniting message is driving the occupy wall street movement together. british euro skeptics are pushing for the right to vote on a referendum on whether the country should leave the e.u. people's pledge campaign believe that the e.u. undermines britain's sovereignty and is costing the country too much but the mantra nationwide referendum will be discussed in parliament on monday the group has opened the congress in london we can now across live there and talk to ruth lee a member of the people's pledge. i thank you very much for having on the program today it is a referendum on britain's membership of the e.u. especially at a time of economic uncertainty really the answer so britain's problems right now well i think the point is that should we should start thinking about having a referendum on membership and this is just about a referendum it's not an in an out campaign it's just a referendum on membership and of course it always takes a year or two years before you would hardly ever any referendum it is actually to

get there i idea is a cross and the truth is that we joined the e.u. all the e.c. is it was way back in one nine hundred seventy three when it was a very different animal and since then i've been all these treaties there's been a single european act the must reach treaty the amsterdam treaty nice treaty and the lisbon treaty and these go it's gone from being basically a trading area with aspirations to something very close to a political union for me feel love for democratic reasons it's actually time that the british people were given an opportunity to have their say when they wanted to stay in the sun not so sort of basic principles of democracy that people can speak their minds and be good voices and politicians will hopefully hopefully listen but the impression i get from you is that you think that the referendum itself wouldn't actually happen so it wouldn't happen hypothetically speaking about what is the point of this vote on a referendum that may not happen. well i think you get the debate going because if you say oh well something may not happen or even if you have the referendum and didn't do you don't get the old she wants well you've got to start somewhere else

is just a complete defeatism and i have to say this that when we do surveys as to whether people have actual people out there you know that was behind me in front of me or in the whole today whether they want a referendum on e.u. membership they say yes and i'm afraid to say so most of the politicians here who also oversaw about actually letting the people have their say i mean the truth is that i think creasing lee and western democracies including the all the european democracies the people want one thing and the down the politicians say mother and he's very interesting that even when they're all referenda in the e.u. there was one on the constitution four in france and this one in the constitution in ireland and one in the netherlands and they voted no we don't want this but what happened to the politicians but i'm going to godless as far as i'm concerned you know it's the people who should be marching up this say and we've just got these messages across to the politician is that this time they listen to the people so

perhaps perhaps it's the whole issue of the eurozone the debt crisis that a massive bailout that's not really the issue you're talking the democratic issues of the people speaking to the politicians but if we do look at the eurozone for a moment you look at portugal ireland greece two thousand and eleven it has been a historically by year for the eurozone at a time when britain's economy will be vital to keeping the sustenance of years on going if britain were to pull out of the you what would a spell for you. but i didn't quite catch everything you that i'm afraid you're competing with a very noisy apparent ground here in london but i've got the gist i think you're talking about the eurozone and the fact that britain has had to contribute to the bailouts which considering we didn't join the euro i think is a bit rich and if i may say so i think that's added to the euro skepticism here. in britain what actually happens theories are and of course i think at the moment nobody know this we know there's a european summit on at the moment. but the decisions are going to be delayed there

are big decisions a big difference of opinion between france and germany oh no and various things and maybe they come to some sort of agreement eventually to try and bail out turned greece for the third term of the end of the day i actually think the euro zone is such a fundamentally flawed. dysfunctional currency that i suspect it will break out unless there's real political you know fiscal union behind it i hope that this is relevant to your question but really i had enormous difficulties in hearing what you were saying i understand i just that when you when you say ultimately that the eurozone and the euro is as you said a fundamentally flawed currency what are the options you say we should all the eurozone should break up and go back to national currencies. or do i do apologize we managed to lose our connection here but certainly very very noisy in london that we were talking to our ruth lee an economist and member of the people's pledge

council we're calling us. well as well as he is coming to you live from moscow and as an inquest into the death of former russian agent alexander litvinenko was granted by the u.k. his widow admits he was working for british intelligence services long stretching investigation was launched five years ago and litvinenko died of radiation poisoning in london. bennett now reports on how recent discoveries could actually harm britain's reputation. according to britain this is a man on the run and a 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. but he gets them you know nobody really expected me at the pre inquest hearing even though british officials claim

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 where this girl went looking boys lawyers last week echoed calls from live in yonkers widow for the inquest which is now finally being ordered but that's prompted yet another twist in a case already steeped in intrigue and all that. my lawyers and i put ourselves food as an interested party to live in yonkers widow was forced to admit her husband was a paid agent of m. ice five an 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 it will be revealed 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 was always denied any such link that 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 and inquest they were the only party trying to limit and they did take it for granted that they can just brush embarrassment on the carpet and as i said if little yank it had been consulting for them or working with them and he died in highly. in the tourist seconds that is on their package then you have of course they would be on preston about not offering protection to people and also not offering protection to the london public if as the trail of polonium two hundred ten left 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 the thorn in the side of british russian relations with moscow refusing to extradite abundance 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

a can which i were horrible to an accusation that mr lugovoy was responsible is ludicrous i mean it's all looks very fishy join unbiased observer but the diet that we have been 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 teeth what 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. me 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. just after twenty minutes past the hour now here in moscow where the russian foreign ministry has compiled a number of american officials blacklisted from visiting the country now this comes in response to a similar line up of russians banned by washington from entering the u.s. rather i was sparked by the death of businessman a sort of in a russian jail two years ago where he was being held on tax evasion charges that the u.s. blamed moscow for the death and is now refusing to grant visas to startle russian officials moscow says the americans it is now blacklisted in response are suspected of crimes against russian citizens in the u.s. including kidnapping and torture also warns it may extend the list which has not been publicly released but unless washington drops its sanctions against russian officials. ok let's get to the world update now here our see our time for some other headlines from around the world this hour the heir to the saudi arabian

throne prince sultan bin abdul aziz also has died when he was in his eighty's and in two thousand and four diagnosed with colon cancer the crown prince was traveling abroad for medical tests at the time of his death brings into focus the health of saudi arabia's aging royalty especially king abdullah who is now eight and seven officials say funeral services will be held in the capital riyadh on tuesday. the u.n. security council has you know mostly adopted a resolution calling for yemeni president saleh to immediately step down also strongly condemns excessive use of force against anti-government protesters the first mandate since the unrest began in january says the leader must transfer power to his deputy and escalating violence it was criticized by human rights activists saying it opened the way to granting immunity for the president protesters claim salai is clinging to power and pushing his country further into civil.

troops reportedly killed thirty two kurdish rebels near the iraqi border but hundreds of soldiers also pursued fighters in northern iraq a clash and. province came up with a government launched a massive anti rebel operation in the area involving ten thousand troops so it is conflict with the kurdistan workers party or p.k. it's killed tens of thousands of people since it began in one nine hundred eighty four. well american president barack obama has announced the end to american military deployment in iraq ordering all american troops to leave by the end of the year but thirty nine thousand american troops will leave the country after more than eight years air that cost the u.s. taxpayers over seven hundred billion dollars almost four thousand five hundred u.s. soldiers have died during their service in the iraq war zone around iraq the american political activist jaro thinks that the u.s. withdrawal is a good step forward for both countries but it doesn't mean that america's influence

in the region will be. very important milestone i think iraqis in general have been waiting for this is the atheists we want to hear this military occupation is or it's all for all and it is a major step and what i'd better action oh 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 around sixteen thousand person and under state department over all your political leaders of not keeping some u.s. . to train the new iraqi army on using newly purchased u.s. weapons but they are against ground can communicate because that have been a long list of crimes that were committed killing iraqi civilians with norco good if the u.s. intervention and occupation of iraq has been a disaster there's no victory to claim there's nothing to look back on it has been

a disaster that should not have happened it's a disaster of this destruction and the u.s. has been a god of iraq's problem. since the intervention started and i'm very happy that the u.s. is ending its intervention because i think this will help you know our kids move forward and put the country that i. so i turn out twenty five minutes past the hour here in moscow with the occupy wall street movement surpassing its one month anniversary now many are wondering what exactly has united so many people in protest laurie harvest our own a resident in new york 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 and there isn't a centralized message a lot of people say that's a problem and i think that's actually a strength that we currently have. as

a movement were we're just over a month old. october seventeenth was a 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 that is i mean today's world is the sound bite no one has tension and eighty where 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

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 profiling theme to it everybody's disenfranchised with something you say education how kassam guy over there just said shipping jobs out of the country that to the stuff we part of it i mean there's not one thing like i said 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 the fact that they're shipping jobs of 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 that would. they feel like it's the very strike the movements. and without seeing bear in mind all of the news and much much more can be found anytime on our website www dot com some of the items are online right now including

one marina versus thirty policeman an army sergeant becomes an unintentional spokes person of the occupy wall street movement and you can learn about him on c dot com . and the legendary launch a russian soyuz rocket that sets off from a french space space in the tropics carrying the e.u.'s first satellite navigation system aiming to become a rival about of america's g.p.s. . all right so just a few minutes time here on c it's a this week's moscow out of this time of taking to the skies if you stick around for about the first hour saturday headlines are next after a very short break.
