international 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 airstrike stopped a convoy carrying the colonel in the city of sirte and hung him to be captured alive but the unclear circumstances of how gadhafi ended up dead shortly after has sparked international calls for an investigation with some reports suggesting he was executed in cold blood parties and 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 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 it
12:02 pm
appears that he's alive he actually goes and touches head wipes them blood away and then there's a time and it seems that he was clearly dead in those later pictures the same thing with one of his sons that was captured in syria first pictures of him standing against a 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 we've been very critical about nato 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 gadhafi was killed in these pictures that we saw were perhaps not the best possible way to go because. it's the footage shown on t.v. proves that he was captured alive and wounded and after that he was killed later there were reports that a convoy carrying mcconnell was attacked by nato planes and after that the rebels
12:03 pm
captured members of that convoy it has been repeated numerous times that nato planes are only 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 pushing for that mission to end the soonest possible a day when you know it is october thirty first but it has to be said officially nato mission. he's very much alive here in libya gadhafi is body is in a walk in refrigerator now in misrata and already way beyond the twenty four hour mark to how he had been buried by muslim tradition the official liberation 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
12:04 pm
very tense just a couple of days ago there was a shootout between m.t.c. troops and the downfield oil with the 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 last night asking what's next for the b o they can answer that question my god 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. and he said now reporting from tripoli there and she's keeping us updated on the developments in libya online as well just head towards twitter stream to get the latest from her. the international community tries to get to the bottom of good after his death a video could very well provide the everyone's looking for. so fucking no we
12:05 pm
grabbed it i hit him in the face some fighters wanted to take him away and that's when i shot up twice in the head and in the changed this libyan says he didn't like the idea of taking the kind of alive you also flaunted what he calls good daffy's bloodied shirt and a gold ring he claims were taken from the dead dictator the man's come once have not yet been confirmed and dr benjamin barber a senior fellow at a us think tank doesn't expect anyone to be held accountable for the kind of step. gadhafi was clearly executed in fact it was executed twice once by the nato air strike intercepted his caravan and tried to kill him and then once he was caught by the ground forces again executed officially more official it's a question of who they expect to hold accountable one individual soldier who in the frenzy of battle did it the militia from misrata which that individual was a part of the nato forces that you know bombed the caravan and killed most of the
12:06 pm
people apparently forty or fifty were killed and 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 dead and not alive. this is artie commuter line from the russian capital with twenty four hours a day still ahead for you in the program double trouble british intelligence faces all the questions after it emerges that poisoned former k.g.b. agent and xander litvinenko was also working for m i six. and up 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 were followed by another round of arrests and activists accuse the police of being
12:07 pm
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 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 purnell west coral dix among others several members of the ministry the several religious leaders were also taken away again just for performing what they say are simply acts of civil disobedience nonviolent disobedience standing peacefully silently in front of the
12:08 pm
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 went after him physically at which point several activists and full of template with their bodies to try to protect him and keep him from getting arrested those two activists were then 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 the movement that seems to have spread wide across the world not just here in the united states. you see come on of reporting that israel is inspired by american activists have spent weeks protesting and calling for social justice on the streets of tel aviv but now that the rallies have ended people are left wondering when the reforms promised to them by the
12:09 pm
government will emerge reports. anger outrage and protests on the streets of new york a throwback to the same scenes different streets around ten thousand kilometers away 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 yanni miller bid join 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 standing and were praying every evening and people are coming and coming to ours as you know watches events unfold in faraway new york she misses the six weeks she lived here and wishes she could be part of the wall street rallies i'm very proud of where they are i really miss that great country i have to
12:10 pm
face and to me how the protests in new york have strong parallels with those in israel in 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 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 a long let's look like any other street in tel aviv but the foot the focal point of the social behavior of the revolution i think its role of the taint the team made with the bikers and the social demands. still waiting to be made. like many american has rabies is watching the u.s. rallies closely and says they are an inspiration to many in israel he's proud people are taking a stand against corruption and greed to protest the struggle and the anger is in
12:11 pm
the people stuck and the struggle is still going to go on a view that more and more people live on the globe seem to share. tel aviv. and still have for you this hour here in r t the passion behind the protest. for the whole of both parties i think we want to party. parties new york resident laurie hoffman is find out what uniting message is driving the occupy wall street movement that's still to come. i i. i.
12:12 pm
oh it looks like you were struggling. just to. come up to thirty minutes past the ana here in the russian capital 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 the undermines britain's sovereignty and is costing the country too much their 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
12:13 pm
pledge ruth lee's 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 there's been a single european act the maastricht treaty the amsterdam treaty nice treaty in the lisbon treaty and they've 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 look at actual people out there you know that was behind me and in front of me or in the hall today whether they want a referendum on e.u. membership they say yes i'm afraid to say it's a lot of the politicians here who are so many of us about actually letting the people have their say i mean look the truth is that i think you seemly and western democracies including the old european democracies people want one thing and the
12:14 pm
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 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 bottled on regardless so as far as i'm concerned you know it's the people who should be allowed to have their say and we must get these messages 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 is granted by the u.k. his widow admits he was working for british intelligence services the long stretch an investigation was launched five years ago when litvinenko died of radiation poisoning in london and artie's i have a bennett report on how recent discoveries could harm britain's reputation. according to britain this is a man on the run and the day lugovoy hasn't left russia since two thousand and six because of an international arrest warrant he's accused of murdering alexander
12:15 pm
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 critic of the british 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 read this go and look at always 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 in order. my lawyers and i put ourselves food as an interested party so live in yonkers we don't often was forced to admit her husband was a paid agent of mit five in n.y.c. but 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
12:16 pm
this will be reviewed anyway because i know a few facts that will force a british court to ask in my five in my suits a few questions. until now marina late been yankers 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 awkward questions in an inquest they were the only party trying to limit and they did take it for granted that they could just brush embarrassment from carpet and as i said if 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 you know if it's. traveling 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
12:17 pm
with moscow refusing to extradite abundance chief suspect but 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 death 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 levin and commit lugovoy for breakfast here but they 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 lou void is still unproven it's hoped the coroner's inquest will determine once and for all what exactly went on
12:18 pm
behind these walls something c.c.t.v. missed the police say they have new evidence they won't disclose it until they conclude their own investigation as for lugovoy he says he'll answer any questions they've got not in person of course but via video link i'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 a businessman surrogate magnitsky in a russian jail two years ago where he was being held on tax evasion charges the u.s. plane moscow for the death and is now refusing to grant visas to several russian officials says the americans it has now blacklisted in response suspected of crimes against russian citizens in the u.s. including kidnapping and torture moscow wants it makes them the list which has not been publicly released and this washington drops its sanctions against russian
12:19 pm
officials. well time now to update you on some other world news in brief in our world update the heir to the saudi arabian throne prince sultan bin abdul aziz al saud 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 king abdullah who is now eighty seven officials say funeral services will be held in the capital of 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 turkey to curry province came after the government launched a massive anti rebel operation in the area involving ten thousand troops but he's completely kurdistan workers' party p k k has killed tens of thousands of people since it began in one thousand nine hundred eighty four. also the world update this
12:20 pm
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 an escalating violence but it was criticized by human rights activists saying it. on the way to granting immunity for the president but just as plain salary is clinging to power and pushing his country into civil war. the american president barack obama announced the end to american military deployment 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 in a row that cost u.s. taxpayers over seven hundred billion dollars almost four hundred thousand u.s. soldiers have died during their service in the years or longer and iraqi american political activist thinks the u.s. withdrawal is a step forward for both countries but it doesn't mean america's influence in the
12:21 pm
region will end. this is a very important milestone i think that our keys in general have been waiting for this is the last eighty years we want to hear this u.s. military occupation is all of what it's all for and it is a major step in but i doubt 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 over all the iraqi political leaders are not against keeping some u.s. trainers to train the new iraqi army on using the newly purchased u.s. weapons but they are against granting them immunity because there have been a long list of crimes that were committed killing iraqi civilians with no accountability the u.s. intervention and occupation of iraq has been
12:22 pm
a disaster that is not victory because there is nothing to look back at it has been a disaster that should not have happened it's a disaster of death and destruction and the us has been a part of iraq's problem in the last decade or two decades since the intervention started very happy that the u.s. is ending its intervention because i think this will help iraqis move forward and put the country in that i truck 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. a month into the occupy wall street movement is there a unified method this week let's talk about that there isn't a centralized message a lot of people say that's the problem and i think that's actually
12:23 pm
a strength that we currently have. as a movement where we're just over a month old. october seventeenth was our one month anniversary and and i think it's it's early to to be issuing any statements or anything along those lines any any sort of movement major 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 is it i mean today's world is the sound bite no one has attended a.d.d. world and they need a sound but are there often that the current dominant paradigm and where looking to give examples of what alternative paradigms could exist i tried to come every day for a couple of hours so a lot of people are saying that the message is that unified and that's an issue
12:24 pm
that the movement is having its problem communicating but i don't see it as an issue. because feel like it's all 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 in 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 different. franchise with something you're saying education and health care some guy over there just said shipping jobs out of the country to their stuff with 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 agree with that the fact that they're shipping jobs in the country we don't need any more so so how
12:25 pm
would you sum it up in one clear spent tens what the math that just their. political and economic reform to hold 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 is the very strike of the movements. for more coverage of the process that is shaking up the united states is waiting for you on our website is dot com. you'll see that including one marine versus thirty policeman and becomes an unintentional unintentional spokes person of the occupy wall street movement you can learn all about that's on websites. also legendary long shot russian soyuz rocket sets from the french space base in the tropics during the satellite navigation system aiming to become
