news and comment live from moscow this is r.t. good to have you with us this hour libya's interim government is expected to announce the symbolic liberation of the country following the death of colonel gadhafi on thursday nato says it will wind down its military intervention in libya by the end of the month after an alliance and strikes not to convoy carrying the colonel in the city of sirte and i'm going to be captured alive and the unclear circumstances of how gadhafi ended up dead shortly after and sparked international calls for an investigation but some reports suggesting he was executed in cold blood not easily so now he 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 in this brutal video that went viral the mainstream media showing it more than twenty four hours constantly of the. whether or not he was
12:02 pm
dead or alive very unclear at first in the first couple of shots of the day to fears that he's alive he actually goes and touches head right some blood away and then there's a guy i 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 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 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 planning 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 he was killed in these pictures that we saw were perhaps not the best possible way to go to look at. the footage shown on t.v. proves that he was captured alive and wounded and also that he was killed later
12:03 pm
there were reports that a convoy carrying macondo was attacked by nature planes and off about 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 wasn't posing any threat to civilians on the ground and could be a legitimate target. 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 and as soon as possible the date when you know it is october thirty first but it has to be said officially nato mission. it's very much alive here in libya the japanese 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 ceremony will take place in benghazi we're hearing it will take place there that of course was the original rebel stronghold where their hope fight for freedom began
12:04 pm
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 get out fuel oil with a low mostly celebrations have been taking place obviously officials the interim officials are worried that there could be some kind of violence here in the capital very few people obviously were on the streets all night asking what's next for the o.b.o. makes an announcement back question card so world analysts are certainly looking into what will happen in libya 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 and he said now reporting from tripoli there and she's keeping us updated on the developments in libya online as well just head to our tease twitter stream to get the latest from her. the international community tries to get to the bottom of it now he's got
12:05 pm
a leaked video could very well provide the answer everyone's looking for. so fuckin up we grabbed my head of the face some players wanted to take him away and that's when i shot twice in the head and in the chest so this libyan says he didn't like the idea of taking the kind of alive you also flaunted what he calls get their fees bloodied shirt and a gold ring and thanks for taking from the dead dictator commands come and have not yet been confirmed and dr benjamin barber a senior fellow at the u.s. think tank doesn't expect anyone but we help accountable for the colonel's death. gadhafi was clearly executed in fact he was executed twice once by the nato air strike intercepted use care and tried to kill him and then once he was caught by the ground forces again executed sufficiently more efficiently questions from the expect to hold accountable one individual soldier who in the frenzy of battle did it the militia from misrata which that individual was
12:06 pm
a part of the nato forces that you know suspects bombed the caravan and killed most of the people apparently forty or fifty people killed it just didn't get. 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 will be basically glad that he's. not alive. this is r.t. commuter line from the russian capital with twenty four hours a day still ahead for you in the program double trouble british intelligence praises all the questions after it merges that poison former k.g.b. agent and xander litvinenko was also working for m i six. a not for debate should the u.k. leave the e.u. euro skeptics in britain call for a nationwide referendum on the future of its membership. a story still to come for you but first new york has seen yet another series of anti corporate protests which
12:07 pm
were followed by another round of arrests and activists accuse the police of being heavy handed towards those who were peacefully expressing their opinion the nazis you see coming off as this report. 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 a police precinct to bring attention to the so-called stop and frisk policy that is widely used here and york where many innocent civilians can be stopped on the street with very little or actual suspicious cars 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 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
12:08 pm
accepts the full disobedience nonviolent disobedience standing 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 and will attempt them with their bodies to try to protect them and keep them from getting arrested those two 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 the fishes don't feel like they can control movement that seems to have spread wide across the world not just here in the united states. you speak of on of reporting that israeli is inspired by american activists who spent weeks protesting and calling for social justice on the streets of tel aviv
12:09 pm
a bell that the run is offended people are left wondering when the reforms promised to them by the government will emerge what is pointless live 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 as the 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 child boulevard i mean in a bid to join the coaches from the beginning she was inspired on what happened in cairo and caught retained takio corner. here people were thinking were praying every evening and people are coming in. as you know watches even some fold in far away new york she misses the six weeks she lived here and wishes she could be part
12:10 pm
of the wall street rallies i am very proud where everything is great. so bad to gays and i really hope the purchase in new york has strong parallels with those in israel and 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 or the center of readers 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 like any other street in tel aviv but the flip of the four point zero four page revolutionizing its role of the taint be replaced with the bikers and the social demands. still waiting to be made. like many american his radio call for many is watching the u.s. rallies closely and says they are an inspiration to many in israel he's proud
12:11 pm
people are taking a stand against corruption and the protests the struggle and the anger is in the people stuck and the struggle is still going to go on a view that more and more people around the globe seem she share. tel aviv. and still have few of us here and i'll see the passion behind the protest. going are going to go for the whole both parties i think we want to party. the parties new york resident more a half and it's find out what uniting message is driving the occupy wall street movement that's going to come. i.

demand for a nationwide referendum will be discussed in parliament on monday the group held a conference on the issue in london on saturday spokes person for the people's pledge ruth lees says that ordinary people should have a say over the u.k.'s future in the e.u. 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 have been all these treaties as with a single european at the must reach treaty the amsterdam treaty nice treaty in the lisbon treaty and it's gone it's gone from being basically a trading area with aspirations to something very close to a political union when we do surveys as to whether people want actual people out there you know that was behind me and in front of me or in the whole today whether they want to referendum on e.u. membership they say yes i'm afraid to say it's a lot of the politicians here who are so over so about actually letting the people have their say i mean look the truth is that i think creasy really in western
12:14 pm
democracies including the all the european democracies the people want one thing and the down the politician same other but he's very interesting that even when there are referenda in the e.u. there was one on the constitution four in france and there's one in the constitution in ireland and one in the netherlands and they voted no we don't want this but what happened the politicians battled on regardless so as far as i'm concerned you know it is the people who should be lucky to have her say and we must get these message across so the politicians that it's time they listen to the people. as an inquest into the death of former russian agent alexander litvinenko was granted by the u.k. his when he was working for british intelligence services a long stretch investigation was launched five years ago when litvinenko died of radiation poisoning in london and artie's i bennett reports on how recent discoveries could harm britain's reputation. according to britain this is a man on the run and today lugovoy hasn't left russia since two thousand and six
12:15 pm
because of an international arrest warrant he's accused of murdering alexander litvinenko in london almost five years ago both former k.g.b. agents but lugovoy says he's got nothing to hide so as a credible very good nobody really did me a free inquest hearing even though british officials claim i'm hiding from justice and my lawyer is annoyed found out about it by sheer chance i do not found out about it i think the british press would have accused us once again of hiding from justice. looking always lawyers last week echoed calls from libby knew because we don't know for a full inquest which is now finally been ordered but that's prompted yet another twist in a case already steeped in intrigue a lot of. my lawyers and i put ourselves food as an interested party to live in new york as we don't i was forced to admit her husband was a paid agent of mit even in my six o'clock bill he worked for britain's intelligence and not just as a consultant people g.
12:16 pm
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 a british court ask in my five in my suits a few questions. until now marina late been yanked has always denied any such link she says he was out of loyalty to her husband she refused to speak to us they said mission leaves m i five facing 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 on carpet and i said if it can yank it had been consulting for them or working with them and he died in highly. the tourist circumstances on their patch then you have of course they would be questioned about not offering protection to people and also not offering protection to the london public if the. trail of plenty and to tell across a city living in kid died a slow and painful death caused by the lethal radioactive substance polonium two
12:17 pm
ten the unsolved case has been the thorn in the side of british russian relations with moscow refusing to extradite london's 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 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 living in commit new boy for breakfast here but they fell ill and that's when he's alleged to have been poisoned forensics to find a contaminated seaport the link from back to move is still unproven it's hoped the
12:18 pm
coroner's inquest all the turn in once and for all its exact lee 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 provide a video link i've been it r t london. the russian foreign ministry has compiled a number of american officials blacklisted from visiting the country this comes in response to a similar line up of russians banned by washington from entering the u.s. the row was sparked by the death of businessmen magnitsky and a russian jail two years ago when he was being held on tax evasion charges the u.s. plane for the death and is now refusing to grant visas to several russian officials moscow says the americans it has now blacklisted in response a set suspected of crimes against russian citizens in the u.s. including kidnapping and torture let's go once it makes the list which has not been
12:19 pm
publicly released unless washington drops its sanctions against russian officials. well time now to what they chew on some other world news in brief in our world update the soviets or the saudi arabian throne prince sultan bin abdul aziz outside has died he was in his eighty's and in two thousand and four was diagnosed with colon cancer the crown prince was traveling abroad for medical tests at the time of his death it brings into focus the health of saudi arabia's aging role to especially a bill that is now eighty seven official say funeral services will be held in the capital riyadh on tuesday. turkish troops reportedly killed forty nine kurdish rebels near the iraqi border as hundreds of soldiers also pursued fighters in northern iraq a clash in turkish curry province came after the government launched a massive anti rebel operation in the area involving ten thousand troops that he's confident kurdistan workers party p k k has killed tens of thousands of people
12:20 pm
since it began in one thousand nine hundred eighty four. percent of what i think this hour the un security council has unanimously adopted a resolution calling for the yemeni president ali abdullah saleh to immediately step down it also strongly condemns excessive use of force against anti-government protesters the first mandate since the unrest began in general the leader must transfer power to his deputy and it's going to violence but it was criticized by human rights activists saying it. on the way to granting immunity for the president but just plain sally is clinging to power and pushing his country into civil war. the american president barack obama announced the end to american military deployments in iraq ordering all american troops to leave by the end of the year about thirty nine thousand american troops will leave the country after more than eight years an era that cost u.s. taxpayers over seven hundred billion dollars almost one hundred thousand u.s. soldiers have died during their service in the us or. iraq the american political
12:21 pm
activist thinks the u.s. withdrawal is a step forward for both countries but it doesn't mean america's influence in the region will end. this is a very important milestone i think you are in general and have been waiting for this is the. you want to hear this u.s. military occupation is all what it's all for and it is a major step in but 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 person and under the state department all for all the iraqi political leaders are against keeping some u.s. three and two three in the new iraqi army on using newly purchased u.s. weapons but they are against grant immunity because there have been a long list of crimes that were committed killing iraqi civilians with no
12:22 pm
accountability the u.s. intervention and occupation of iraq has been a disaster there is no victory because there is nothing to look back at it has been a disaster should not have happened it's a disaster of death and destruction and the us has been a part of iraq's problem and the door to the intervention started very happy that the u.s. is ending its input mention because i think this will help iraq is move forward and put the country in but i. with the occupy wall street movement surpassing its one month anniversary many are wondering what exactly has united so many people in protest very often a star only resident in new york went to the center of the action to ask people what brought them there. well. a month into the occupy wall street movement is there a unified method this week let's talk about that and there isn't
12:23 pm
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 were just over a month old. october seventeenth was our one month anniversary and and i think it's it's early to to be issuing any statements or anything along those lines any any sort of movement major movement or revolution or anything like that throughout history has issued a statement within the first month it feels a little absurd to me to expect there to be one core message when this is a movement that's wanting to be inclusive that wants everyone to have a voice and everyone has their own life they have their own struggles i mean today's world is the sound bite now and has the potential of a d.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 i tried to come in for a couple of hours so
12:24 pm
a lot of people are saying that the message is that unified and that's an issue that the movement is having its problem communicating but i don't see it is an issue. because you like it i unified i think it is ultimately this is a big battle of ideas there's fifteen different worldviews per square foot and. people are talking and people are listening it's like the best university in the world but there's no unified message 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's dissent. franchise with something you say education and health care some guy over there just said shipping jobs out of the country got through our stuff we're part of it i mean there's not one thing i said it's not just one thing and there's
12:25 pm
a bunch of different reasons that i'm part of that too i mean i agree with the fact that there's shipping jobs in the country we don't need anymore so so how would you sum it up in one clear spent tens but the message is here. little going to comic reform the whole of both parties i think we want to party so it seems like everyone here feels like there is a unified mass face and that is there isn't a unified math there which they feel like is the very strike of the movements. when more coverage of the process that is shaking up the united states is waiting through an old website dot com. you'll see that including one marine versus thirty policeman and the sergeant becomes an unintentional unintentional spokes person the wall street movement you can learn all about bats on websites. so legendary launch of russian soyuz rockets sets off from
