global news twenty four seven this is r.t. live from moscow welcome to the program libya's interim government is expected to announce the symbolic liberation of the country of course this following the death of qana khadafi on thursday nato says it will wind down its military intervention in libya by the end of the month of course after an alliance a strike stopped the convoy carrying the code 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 that he was executed in cold and i. mean one has the latest from the libyan capital. the n.t.s.b. is saying that gadhafi was killed by a bullet wound also conflicting reports as to where exactly those shots were in still making the right side of his head and the left side of his head it's looking
11:02 am
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 quite some blood away and then there's a fight and you know it seems that he was clearly 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 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 we've been very critical about nader's mission here in libya not that something needs to be done about an investigation the u.n. is planning on launching 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
11:03 am
possible way to go to. the footage shown on t.v. crews 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 also that the rebels captured members of that convoy it has been repeated numerous times that nato planes are and you 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 it was approaching for that mission and as soon as possible it. is october thirty first but it has to be said of fischer the 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 he had been buried by muslim tradition the official liberation ceremony
11:04 am
will take place in benghazi we're hearing it will take place there that of course was the original rebel stronghold where their whole fight for freedom began it will take place there instead of the capital because the security situation here is still very tense just a couple of days ago there was a shootout between m.t.c. troops and the town feel loyal with them though most of the 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 of time asking what's next for they be and they can answer that question the tide 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. and he said now with a reporter from tripoli she's a keeping us updated on the developments in libya online as well the. twitter
11:05 am
stream to get the latest from. the international community tries to get to the bottom of. a leaked video could very well provide the answer that everyone is looking for. so fuck we grabbed him i hit him in the face some fighters wanted to take him away and that's when i shot him twice in the hips and in the chest so he didn't like the idea of taking the kernel of life he also flaunted what he calls good athletes bloodied shirt and a golden ring he claims to have taken from the day. the man's comments have not yet been confirmed dr benjamin barber is a senior fellow at a u.s. think tank doesn't expect anyone will be held accountable for the killing of. gadhafi was clearly executed in fact he was executed twice once by the nato air strike intercepted his carer and tried to kill him and then once he was caught by the ground forces again executed sufficiently more official it's questions who they
11:06 am
expect to hold accountable one individual soldier who in a frenzy of battle did it the militia from misrata which that individual was a part of the nato forces there you know so bombed the caravan and killed most of the people apparently for your children just to 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 groups will be basically glad that he's. not alive. it would r.t. and still ahead for you in the program here double trouble british intelligence placing of awkward questions after emerges that poisoned former k.g.b. agent alexander litvinenko was also working and my sex. new york has seen yet another series of anti corporate protests which were followed
11:07 am
by another round of arrests activists accuse the police of being heavy handed towards those who work peacefully expressing their opinion. for 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 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 pas searched and eventually taken to jail if something is found on their physical body. we saw a high level high profile activists taken away in handcuffs a colonel west world except on the others several members of the ministry of the several religious leaders were also taken away again just for performing what they say are simply acts of civil disobedience nonviolent disobedience standing
11:08 am
peacefully silently in front of the police precincts that 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 went after him physically at which point several activists envelope to them with their bodies to try to protect them and keep them from getting arrested those two activists were then rather violently and taken about 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 the movement that seems to have spread wide across the world not just here in the united states. that is a losing battle for reporting right now i mean time israelis inspired by american activists have a spent weeks protesting and calling for social justice on the streets of tel aviv
11:09 am
but now the rallies of anger people are left wondering when the reforms promised to them by the government will start to emerge policy reports. 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 is the point this is where 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 childhood of art you know libya to join the protests from the beginning she was inspired by what happened in cairo and caught retained takio corner well there have been here. every evening and people are coming in. as you know watches events unfold in faraway new york she misses the six weeks she
11:10 am
lived here and wishes she could be part of the wall street rallies i was very proud of where i am i really. really hold the purchase of new york have strong parallels with those in israel and how they came about and why the similarity between the protesters 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 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 critical this looks like any other street in tel aviv but the focal point of the pain of the revolution i think is roll of the pain if you will make. with bikers and the social demands of the waiting to be made. like many american is rabies i mean when he's watching the u.s. rallies closely and says they're an inspiration to many in israel he's proud people
11:11 am
are taking a stand against corruption and greed the protest the struggle and the anger within the people stuck and the struggles for going to go on i view that more and more people around the globe seem to share policy r.t. tel aviv. where you without a lot from moscow are still ahead for you this hour the passion behind the protest . local market reforms because both parties of the we want a new party are to use in new york president laurie harkness 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 peoples a pledge campaign believes the e.u. undermines britain's sovereignty and is costing the country too much or the demand for a nationwide referendum will be discussed in parliament on monday the group is holding a congress in london we can actually across live there now and talk to
11:12 am
a david campbell bannerman m.e.p. and member of the conservative party thank you for coming on the program today i saw people pushing for a referendum on britain's e.u. membership and why is the prime minister mr cameron already calling on his party to oppose it. well the promise is actually opposing the vote on monday there's a big vote on monday the first time this issue's been discussed thirty six years would you believe that's happening on monday. the phrases we're asking employees to serve as the votes against that particular motion it's a day isn't a political event passes rather cross support supporting this referendum it's only it's mildly astonishing with that we have reports that anywhere from fifty nine to eighty tory m.p.'s have declared their intention to defy cameron what kind of message is this sending to billy leadership. well i think it's a strong message of democracy the the motion debates a petition of one hundred forty thousand people who put their name to this petition
11:13 am
it's a new system it's come to the house of commons for discussion and debate and it's about democracy and there's a strong feeling i think it's getting stronger by the day in britain around europe as well about the european union and what they're calling for is an in out referendum a referendum by all the british people whether we should stay within the european union as a full member or just have a trading relationship like switzerland and norway now how do you think news of this referendum push could be taken by other e.u. members especially those struggling in the eurozone like me. well it's not calling for an immediate referendum i think that's a very important point i mean the referendum should it be voted for it is unlikely now unfortunately but if it was voted for it wouldn't really be for a number of years so it's not immediate i think the concerning government is about immediate referendum and i share that so i don't think it's good to have
11:14 am
a rest of referendum the next six months or a year. you know because there is a lot of sensitivity about euro zone however in a few years' time i think that's a different ballgame but i think the euro is in in serious trouble we could have serious ramifications if there's no deal over the next few days which seems likely and i think it opens up the whole issue of that of membership of the european union right across the european union we've spoken to several other members today of the people the people's pledge council there and a few of them saying that the referendum will never happen and even if it did it would take years as you were saying just a moment ago but if if following the e.u. crisis talk that at the going on right now in brussels if the u.k. has to pay more money for a bailout you think that it strengthen the chance of a referendum. but i think it will i think generally the british people are getting more more and. fed up at the cost the pay that cost we're not even a member of your ozone and yet we've had to put in twelve billion pounds that's
11:15 am
a lot of money and they're probably going to ask for more and we have to pay for the i.m.f. international monetary fund separately from the year as well and i think what's happening things are tough and gross and the tough around the around the world and people are looking very hard now at the cost and we are a huge net contributor to european union we don't get much out of it we could get the same kind of trade benefits with a free trade agreement like norway and switzerland so i think people really reexamining the whole nature of our relationship with the european union so it doesn't mean what you're suggesting is that that england's relationship with the e.u. costs more than it's worth but if you're any p.t. you really want to see an end to the e.u. if britain eventually at some point did quit do you think others might follow and. i think all those may well follow but i think it's a decision of nation states i think what's probably more likely he's you going to get a hold of merging within the european union based around germany high success economies
11:16 am
that want to stick together wants a single currency wants a single financial arrangement i think that's you know that europe will go ahead but i think it will leave a lot of european union nations on the edges and having looser more flexible arrangements i think. with the european union so i think what's happening is very fundamental change our whole look of the european union how early earlier we heard from the u.k. chancellor of the checker george osborne saying that the eurozone debt crisis is a real danger and he's opposed to the idea of these constant bailouts for example greece just would approve the next bailout of eight billion euros but he compares that to using a plaster to cover up a large wound he says enough is enough no short term fixes what would be the long term fix do you think. for the eurozone. but i don't know if there is one i think if you try and force a gather very divergent economy is with governments with different attitudes
11:17 am
towards public finances and deficits i do think greece really has a political will to to bring in the real cuts necessary and the to graze the taxes sufficiently within greece to really sort the problem out and i think what is probably happier for everyone is we just admit the honest truth this doesn't work maybe other countries like germany should go forward with belgium and others say to a tighter euro's economy and leave others out of it because the thing that will save greece is devaluation if they recreate the track where it will make it very cheap to go on holiday greece better for shipping it will stimulate their economy will be very hard it's not easy but i think that's the only route turn out and that's a much healthier route over time for countries like greece and others i think as well who are trapped within the euro zone. and i think that's really the only realistic way forward david campbell. member of the conservative party many.
11:18 am
like you. as an inquest into the death of former russian agent alexander litvinenko was granted by the u.k. his widow admits that he was working for british intelligence a 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. agents but lugovoy says he's got nothing to hide. i mean you know nobody really expected me at the pre inquest hearing even the british officials claim that i'm hiding from justice my lawyers and i found out about it by sheer chance had we not
11:19 am
found out about it i think the british press would have accused us once again of hiding from justice. who is lawyers last week echoed calls from live in yonkers widow for the inquest which is now finally been ordered but that's prompted yet another twist in a case already steeped in intrigue and all that well known years in there but my lawyers and i put ourselves food as an interested party so late when young because we don't was forced to admit her husband was a paid agent of m i five and m i six and 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 lived 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 and inquest they were the
11:20 am
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 it had been consulting for them or working with them and he died in highly. the tourist second fact is on their package then you have of course they would be our questions about not offering protection to people and also not offering protection to the london public you know if the trail of ten feet 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 i guess which however horrible to an accusation that mr lugovoy was responsible is
11:21 am
is ludicrous i mean this 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 lugovoy for breakfast here today he fell ill and that's when he's alleged to have been poisoned forensics to find a contaminated teapot but the link from back to lou void is still unproven it's hoped the coroner's inquest will determine once and for all that's exactly went on behind these walls something c.c.t.v. nice 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.
11:22 am
now or twenty two minutes past the hour here in moscow the russian foreign ministry has compiled a number of american officials plus ballistic from france of the country this comes in response to a similar lineup of russians banned by washington from entering the u.s. the role was sparked by the death of businessman sort of good 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 america including kidnapping and torture also warns it may extend the list which has not been publicly released unless washington drops its sanctions against russian officials. i know if i was some other headlines from around the world for you this hour time for the world of the year the heir to the saudi arabian throne prince sultan bin abdul aziz al sard has died he was in his eighty's and in two thousand and four diagnosed with colon cancer the crown
11:23 am
prince was traveling abroad for medical tests at the time of his death it brings into focus the health of saudi arabia's aging royalty especially king abdullah who's now eighty seven officials say funeral services will be held in the capital riyadh on tuesday. but his troops reportedly killed thirty two kurdish rebels near the iraqi border it's hundreds of soldiers also pursued fighters in northern iraq the clash in turkey's province came after the government launched a massive fancy rebel operation involving a ten thousand troops so he's with the kurdistan workers party or p.k. k. and killed tens of thousands of people since it began in one thousand nine hundred eighty four. the un security council has unanimously adopted a resolution calling for yemeni president ali abdullah saleh to immediately step down it also strongly condemns excessive use of force against anti-government protesters the first monday since the unrest began in january so the leader must
11:24 am
transfer power to his deputy and end the escalating violence it was criticized by human rights activists saying it opened the way to granting immunity for the president protesters claim saleh is clinging to power and pushing his country into civil war. all with the occupy wall street movement surpassing its one month anniversary now when you're wondering what exactly has united so many people in protest at lower harvest our resident in new york 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 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 and 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
11:25 am
statements or anything along those lines any any sort of movement major movement or revolution or anything like that throughout history has he 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 a soundbite no one has tension in a.g.d. world and they need a sound bite or they're off of the current dominant paradigm and we're 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 prevailing theme to it everybody is disenfranchised with something you're saying
11:26 am
education and health care some guy over there just said shipping jobs out of the country that true this stuff a part of it i mean there's not one thing i just 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 that the fact that they're shipping jobs in the country we don't need any more so so how would you sum it up in one clear spent tens but the messages here. political and economic reform how is 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. very strike. and more coverage of the protests that are shaking up the united states waiting for you on our website c.n.n. dot com also there as well including one marine of course is a policeman an army sergeant becomes an unintentional spokes person of the occupy wall street movement and learn more about that at all it's.
