worldwide news live from moscow this is artsy welcome to the program libya's interim government is expected to announce the symbolic liberation of the country of course following the death of colonel qadhafi on thursday nato says it will wind down its military intervention in libya by the end of the month after an alliance airstrike stopped a convoy carrying the colonel in the city of sirte allowing him to be captured alive but the unclear circumstances of how could afy ended up dead shortly after have sparked international calls for an investigation some reports suggesting he was executed in cold blood 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 shot making the right side of his head and the left side of his head it's
10:02 am
looking very shady and then this brutal video that went viral the mainstream media showing it more than twenty four hours constantly of gadhafi whether or not he was dead or alive very unclear at first in the first couple of shots that he did in fears that he's alive he actually goes and touches its head right some blood away and then there's a part 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 the 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 world and other countries 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
10:03 am
best possible way to go but. 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 the colonel was attacked by nato planes and after that the rebels captured members of that convoy 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 this soon as possible the date when you know it is october thirty first but it has to be said officially nato mission. it is 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 to have who had been buried by muslim tradition the official liberation
10:04 am
ceremony will take place in benghazi where you will take place there that of course was the original rebel stronghold where their whole fight for freedom began it will take place there instead of the capital because the security situation here is still very tense just a couple of days ago there was a shootout between m.t.c. troops and the downfield loyalists alone mostly celebrations have been taking place obviously officials the interim officials are worried that there could be some kind of violence here in the capital very few people obviously were on the streets asking what's next for libya and they couldn't 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 hour the world community has begun to think what will we see happen here in the upcoming months and years. are they reporting from the libyan capital and she's actually keeping us updated on all the developments in libya
10:05 am
online as well head over to our to use twitter stream to get the latest from. right now as the international community tries to get to the bottom of his death a leaked video could very well provide the on so that everyone is looking for. i saw the father you know we grabbed him i hit him in the face some fighters wanted to take him away and that's when i shot on twice in the head and in the chance to see a libyan says he didn't like the idea of taking the come alive he also flaunted what he calls a kid after his bloodied shirt and a golden ring that he claims to have taken from the dead dictate how other man's comments have not yet been confirmed dr benjamin barber a senior fellow at a us thing tang doesn't expect anyone will be held accountable for the colonel's killing. gadhafi was clearly executed in fact he was executed twice once by the nato air strike intercepted care and tried to kill him and then once he was caught by the ground forces again executed sufficiently more efficiently it's
10:06 am
a question of who they expect to hold accountable one individual soldier who in the frenzy of battle did the militia from misrata which that individual was a part of the nato forces there you know bombed the caravan and killed most of the people apparently forty or fifty who killed them just didn't get gadhafi my own guess is that will be a lot of talk here and in the end nothing will happen because everybody inside libya and also outside libya will be basically glad that he's. not alive it's our to still had a few in the program have double trouble i predict intelligence and facing all put questions after the emergence of the poison for my pay t.v. agent alexander litvinenko was also working in my state. new york has seen yet another series of anti corporate protests which was followed
10:07 am
by another round of arrests activists accuse the police of being heavy handed towards those who were peacefully expressing their opinion. and offer points. 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 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 purnell west carl 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
10:08 am
acts of civil disobedience nonviolent disobedience standing peacefully silently in front of the police precincts now 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 that envelope him with their bodies to try to protect him and keep him from getting arrested those two activists who 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. report. israelis inspired by american activists who spent weeks protesting and calling for social justice doing so on the streets of tel aviv but now. people are
10:09 am
left wondering that when the reforms promised them by the government will start to emerge. reports. anger outrage and protest 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 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 child boulevard new mill a bit joined 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 they there were praying every evening and people are coming and talking to ours as you know watches events unfold in faraway new york
10:10 am
she misses the six weeks she lived here and wishes she could be part of the wall street rallies by the first hour that we were fired i remember right ok i have to face and i really hope the protests in new york have strong parallels with those in israel in 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 israel achieved recommendations made by government committee still need to be implemented and that could take on all this looks like any other street in tel aviv but the focal point of social change revolutionizing its role of attaining the theme of faith with the bikers and the social demands are still waiting to be made . like many american is rabies coffman is watching the u.s.
10:11 am
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 and the anger. when the people stop and the struggle is still going to go on a view that more and more people around the globe seem to share. tel aviv. toronto we're coming to you live from moscow are still ahead for you this hour the passion behind the protest. political and i cannot reform the whole of both parties i think we want a new party parties and new york resident laurie finds out what the uniting message is driving the occupy wall street. british euro skeptics are pushing for the right to vote on a referendum on whether the country should leave the e.u. the people's pledge campaign believes that the e.u. undermines britain sovereignty and is costing the country too much demand for a nationwide referendum will be discussed in parliament on monday and the group is
10:12 am
holding a congress and london we can actually cross there live now and talk to a. member of the u.k. independence party thank you for joining us on the program today the e.u. is currently going through an economic crisis do you think really this is the time to be holding a referendum challenging britain's membership. of course i think it's time to hold a referendum because we are all paying to bailout this country and they are not really getting a solution for the crisis the. absence bureaucracy east totally accountable and they're asking people countries to put more money to bail out countries that this is not the solution the countries need to get out of the euro zone and i think the british people who put their money their taxes to pay for the european union by cheap to pay for the bailouts need to have a referendum on the membership of the european union but how badly really is the
10:13 am
u.k. being affected by the eurozone bailout and i was under the impression that germany and then france offering most of the bailout bills. well germany and france are putting their bailouts in the european part of the bailout but there is also the contribution made by the i.m.f. and the u.k. is contributing significantly to the i.m.f. and this money is going you know indeed actually to bail out these countries the u.k. is also contributing to the e.u. european union but which you know the contribution today is more than fifteen billion pounds per year and this is a lot of money and this money should have been properly used by all those countries that are in the eurozone to develop their economies and they haven't developed their economies so i think you know the british people have a right to be angry about the situation but our right to ask for the protection of their taxes. but when it comes to having a vote on
10:14 am
a referendum about britain and its membership or of being a part of the e.u. or not the euro zone should be about very clear part of being a united europe make britain stronger while having twenty seven separate nations on the european continent be more effective as a political economic force. well let me first tell you that indeed there is a difference between the uterus on the european union and although the u.k. is not a member of the eurozone it's still having to participate in the bailout of these countries in the eurozone so we cannot dismiss the situation and i think. the united kingdom would be better off today in having the ability to trade with other countries than those that are having problems in the uterus so it's being badly hit and my feeling east this that as long as the european union bureaucracy doesn't allow these countries to default and leave the euro zone and be able to devalue
10:15 am
their currency we have no solution and this problem is expanding to all countries even those that are not in the euro zone that's why. i i think it's very important that they do you create a referendum where the people here the people whose taxes are being spent in the european union and in the eurozone. can make a decision if they want to be members of the club which is falling apart or they want to leave this court club now we heard we've heard our prime minister cameron saying the there's no way that a referendum whatever happened he wouldn't allow it basically to happen on his watch is there a lot of political motivation do you think behind this and certainly we're seeing some dissension in the ranks of the of the conservative party. where there is a lot of the ascension and we have a number of conservative m.p.'s in this meeting here in the people we also have other m.p.'s from other political parties labor greens i mean and they all point
10:16 am
side by david they're feeling about the european union whether they think we should leave or we should stay they all believe that the british people because they pay for this european union should have the right to have a referendum and they said if they want to be members or not now if mr cameron doesn't want to grant the speech probably this referendum this problem we know it go away for him he might money plates things have. to wait on monday and force all of these m.p.'s to vote against a referendum but this problem is not going to go away it's going to become worse and there are going to grow in huge. so you so you're forecasting a bit of a dim future there so you're saying it's going to get worse so you know we've had a tough year for members of the eurozone certainly a few of them in particular was struggling economy is a very big but the european union as a whole has not been
10:17 am
a success. from my point of view i can tell you it has not been a success being a success. we wouldn't have the economic and financial crisis we have today i think today my arguments are not needed as much as they were five years ago against the european union you know the crisis is showing you that the e.u. has faith has failed to grow the economy. in the year two thousand they came out with at least one strategy to make this the most competitive economy in the word and what has happened ten years later where we are under severe crisis now they're asking for more money to get. very competitive economy growing and you know developing for two thousand and twenty and yet more money we have to put into these now who can believe that these people that made this economy colac literally in the last ten years are going to make this economy grow in the next ten
10:18 am
years unbelievable you know and i don't think people need to be cheated anymore. i wish we had more time for this conversation a. member of the u.k. independence party many thanks. thank you. you with r.t. as an inquest into the death of former russian agent alexander litvinenko was granted by the u.k. here's widow admits that he was working for british intelligence long stretching investigation was launched five years ago when litvinenko died of radiation poisoning in london. bennett now reports on how recent discoveries could harm britain's reputation. according to britain this is a man on the run and very 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.
10:19 am
agents but lugovoy says he's got nothing to hide so as a critic of the brits 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 press would have accused us once again of hiding from justice. little boys 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. 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 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 m i five an m i six
10:20 am
a few questions. until now marina litvinenko has 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 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 a highly. in the tourist circumstances on their patch then you have of course they would be asked questions about not offering protection to people and also not offering protection to the london public you know if this were to. laying into ten left across the city living in kid died a slow and painful death caused by the lethal radioactive substance polonium two ten the unsolved case has been the thorn in the side of british russian relations with moscow refusing to extradite abundance chief suspect as some claim britain's
10:21 am
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 live in yankee met lugovoy for breakfast here the day he fell ill and that's when he's alleged to have been poisoned forensics did find a contaminated teapot but the link from that to lose a voice 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.
10:22 am
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 have been it r t london. the russian foreign ministry has compiled a number of american officials blacklisted from visiting the country that's comes in response to a similar lineup of russians banned by washington from entering the u.s. there are was sparked by the death of businessman magnitsky in a russian jail two years ago where he was being held on tax evasion charges the u.s. blamed moscow for the death and is now refusing to grant visas to several 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 moscow warns it may extend the list which is not publicly released unless washington drops its sanctions against russian officials.

10:24 am
a resolution calling for yemeni president aliyev to immediately step down but 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 the escalating violence was criticized by human rights activists saying it opened the way to granting immunity for the president the protesters claim sally is clinging to power and pushing his country into civil war . well with the occupy wall street movement surpassing its one month anniversary now many are wondering what exactly has united so many people in protest lower half an hour only resident in new york went to the center of the action to ask the people what brought them there. a month into the occupy wall street movement is there
10:25 am
a unified method this week let's talk about that and 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 were we're just over 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 that is it i mean today's world is the sound bite no one has attended a.d.d. work and they need a sound bite are there off of the current dominant paradigm and where looking to give examples of what alternative paradigms could exist
10:26 am
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 health care 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 like i said it's not just one thing and there's a bunch of different reasons other part of it too i mean i definitely agree with that the fact that they're shipping jobs of the country we don't need that a more so so how would you sum it up in one clears that tends 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 message which. they feel like the very strength of the movements.
10:27 am
