international news and comment live from moscow this is. 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 stopped a convoy carrying the colonel in the city of sirte i know 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. 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 it is still making the right side of his head and the left side of the head it's looking very shady and then this brutal video that went viral the mainstream media showing up more than twenty four hours constantly of feet whether or not he was dead or
1:02 pm
alive very unclear at first in the first couple of shots that he did it appears that he's alive he actually goes and touches head quite some blood away and then there's a fly and 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 because. it's the footage shown on t.v. proves that he was captured a lawyer and wounded and after that he was killed later there were reports that
1:03 pm
a convoy carrying the car was attacked by nato planes and also that the rebels captured members of that convoy and it has been repeated numerous times that nato planes are and you have a u.n. mandate to ensure the 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 produce 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 so pushing for that mission and assumed as possible the day when you know 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 how he had been very 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 life for freedom began it will take
1:04 pm
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.t.s.c. troops and the town feel oil was so low 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 asking what's next for they be allayed can answer that question was 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 happen here in the coming months and years. and he said no reporting from tripoli and she's keeping us updated on the developments in libya own line as well we have to do just head to or to use twitter stream to get the latest from her does the international community tries to get to the bottom of gadhafi is definitely
1:05 pm
video could very well provide everyone's looking for. so fucking we grabbed it i hit him in the face some fighters wanted to take him away in that's when i shot twice in the head and didn't a chance to stop. this movie and says he didn't like the idea of taking the colonel alive you also forget what he called gadhafi that bloodied shirt and a gold ring he claims were taken from the dead man's comments have not yet been confirmed dr benjamin barber a senior fellow at the u.s. think tank doesn't expect anyone to be held accountable for the kind of. 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 officially more official questions 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
1:06 pm
a part the nato forces that you know the bombs the caravan and most of the people apparently forty or fifty were killed just in get it off 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. still ahead for you in the program this hour double trouble british until its faces or could fix its author emerges that poisoned former k.g.b. agent alexander litvinenko was also working for m i six. up for debate should be u.k. leave the e.u. euro skeptics in britain call for a nationwide referendum on the future of its membership. new york has seen yet another series of anti corporate protests which were followed by another round of arrests activists accuse the police of being heavy handed towards
1:07 pm
those who were peacefully expressing their opinion artes 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 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 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 carroll did some on the others several members of the ministry and several religious leaders were also taken away again just for performing with bass they are simply out of the civil disobedience nonviolent disobedience standing peacefully
1:08 pm
silently in front of the police precincts that we saw the police actually target a reporter a journalist who had been trying to film the events just like we were the police officers and went after him physically at which point several activists and bullets hit them with their bodies to try to protect them and keep them from getting arrested those two activists were then on top rather violently and taken aback at the police trucks and taken away now what this signifies is that the numbers of these protests continue to grow perhaps putting some sort of fear into the system here where officials don't feel like they can control movement that seems to have spread wide across the world not just here in the united states. you see coming off that israelis inspired by american activists who spent weeks protesting and calling for social justice on the streets of sort of the youth but now that the rallies offended people are wondering when the reforms promised to them by the government when much of these reports. anger outreach and
1:09 pm
protests on the streets of new york. a throwback to the same scenes different streets around ten thousand kilometers away patients in the united states exaggerated in this thing is the patients in where they went too far in taking for granted their citizens occupy wall street it wasn't that long ago israelis were calling to occupy what's child boulevard when you millipede joined the protests from the beginning she was inspired by what happened in cairo and caught her tamed tapio corner harbored fear people were betting you were playing music every evening and give all of calming and cutting through hours as you know watches events unfold in far away new york she misses the six weeks she lived here and wishes she could be part of the wall street rallies i am very proud of where i am i really break out of god to base them anyhow i
1:10 pm
purchased in new york a strong parallels with those in israel and how they came about and why the similarity between the protest was just uncanny. the way they started on facebook the way they chose a location very close to where. the center of power is where the center of greed is for in this case 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 could take a while let's look like any other three to tell everyone but the focal point of social behavior for the revolution i believe role of it came into play with bikers and the social demands are still waiting to be made. like many american israeli army coffman is watching the u.s. rallies closely and says they are an inspiration to many in israel is proud people are taking a stand against corruption and the protests the struggle and the anger is in the
1:11 pm
people still and the struggle is for when you go on a view that more and more people are. on the global scene to share policy r.t. television. r.t. coming to live from the russian capital with twenty four hours a day still to come for you this hour the passion behind the protest. look on economic reform because both parties i think we want a new party party's new york resident or helping us find out what uniting message is driving the occupy wall street movement. still to come but first 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 e.u. undermines britain's sovereignty and is costing the country too much and mine for a nationwide referendum will be discussed in parliament monday the group held a conference on the issue in london on saturday and conservative m.p. in support of the people's pledge douglas cause while says there's no economic benefit to keeping the u.k. in the e.u.
1:12 pm
it's costing us a great deal of money we're spending billions of pounds bailing out a currency we didn't even choose to join but it's not just about economics it's about democracy for too long in this country we've left it to the political elite to decide these questions if you believe in democracy surely you should trust the people the people need to have a say when we join the european union in the early one nine hundred seventy s. we thought we were joining a prosperous trading bloc europe at that time constituted about thirty six percent of global g.d.p. it turns out but by twenty twenty year paul account for about fifteen percent of global g.d.p. so you know far from joining a prosperous trading block we shackle ourselves to an economic corpse you know the economic rationale for being in the european union i think is largely gone we want to be global players we want to have free trade relationships with the world not just with belgium and a few indebted states across the channel. as an inquest into the death of former
1:13 pm
russian agent alexander litvinenko is granted by the u.k. his widow admits he was working for britain's m i six the long stretch an investigation was launched five years ago when litvinenko died of radiation poisoning in london bennett reports on how recent discoveries could pose some uncomfortable questions for british intelligence. 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 so as a credible brigade nobody really expected me at the pre inquest hearing even though british officials claim that i'm hiding from justice my lawyers and i have 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 and we're going to go
1:14 pm
and look i've always lawyers last week echoed calls from libyan 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 have all but one million years and they're my lawyers annoyed at ourselves food as an interested party so live in yonkers we don't often was forced to admit her husband was a paid agent in my five an m i six 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 it will be reviewed anyway because i know a few facts that will force a british court to ask in my five an m i six a few questions. until now marina libin yankers always denied any such link she says he was out of loyalty to her husband she refused to speak to us his admission leaves m i five facing awkward questions an inquest they were the only party trying to limit and they did take it for granted that they could just crash in paris with one carpet and as i said if they had been consulting for them
1:15 pm
all that and he died in highly. the tourist sacrifices on their patch then you have of course they would be out of question about not offering protection to people and also not offering protection to the london public you know. as this is traveling into ten 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 a thorn in the side of british russian relations with moscow refusing to extradite london's chief suspect for 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 were horrible to an accusation that mr lugovoy was responsible is ludicrous i mean it's all looks very fishy join unbiased observer but the diet that
1:16 pm
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 lugovoy for breakfast here but they fell ill and that's when he's alleged to have been poisoned forensics to find contaminated teapot and the link from that saluda boy is still unproven it's hoped the coroner's inquest will determine once and for all sigs actually went on behind these walls something c.c.t.v. 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'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.
1:17 pm
the row was sparked by the death of businessman so they get magnitsky and the russian jailed two years ago where he was being held on tax evasion charges us play moscow for the burthen is now refusing to grant visas to several russian officials moscow says the americans it has now blacklisted in response are suspected of crimes against russian citizens in the us including kidnapping and torture moscow wants it makes them that list which has not been publicly released unless washington drops its sanctions against russian officials. so i'm not update you on some other news in brief in our world update this hour in your because of one hundred athletes serves of stop the nato peacekeepers from removing barricades that have been blocking off the area for months i sat in front of sixteen roadblocks to prevent the troops pushing through the barrack loyalist which was built back in july when the government attempted to take control of the disputed crossing area northern kosovo is home to about forty thousand serbs who refused to recognize the authority of the mainly ethnic albanian cost of

1:19 pm
down it also strongly condemns excessive use of force against anti-government protesters the first mandate since the unrest began in general says the leader must transfer power to his deputy and escalate the violence but it was criticized by human rights activists saying it opened the way to granting immunity for the president the testers claim sali is clinging to power and pushing his country into civil war. president barack obama announced the end to american military deployment in iraq ordering all 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 has cost us taxpayers over eight hundred billion dollars almost four hundred thousand u.s. soldiers have died during this service in iraq war zone and iraqi american political activists right gerard 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 journalism have been waiting for this
1:20 pm
is the last eight years we want to hear this u.s. military occupation is what it's all for and it is a major step in but i bet 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. under the state department all for all that argue political leaders are not against keeping some u.s. trainers to train the new iraqi army on using newly purchased u.s. workmen's but they are against granting them immunity because that 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 a disaster that is not because he came there is nothing to look back at because been a disaster that should not have happened it's a disaster of death and destruction and the us has been
1:21 pm
a part of iraq's problem and. that intervention started. the u.s. is ending its and prevention because i think this will help iraqis move forward and put the country in the right truck. with the occupy wall street movement surpassing its one month anniversary many are wondering what exactly has united so many people in protests nouri oftenest our own resident in new york went to the center of the action to ask people there what brought them. 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 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 a one month anniversary and and i think it's it's early to to be issuing any
1:22 pm
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 isn't i mean today's world is the soundbite no one 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 and i tried to come for a couple of goals so a lot of people who say that the message is it 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 feel like it's all unified i think it is ultimately this is
1:23 pm
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 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 dissing. franchise with something you say education how cast come by over there just said shipping jobs out of the country back to the stuff we part of it i mean there's not one thing i said it's not just one thing and there's a bunch of different reasons that i'm part of that too i mean i definitely agree with that the fact that there's shipping jobs in the country we don't need any more so so how would you sum it up in one clear spent tens like amount that just 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
1:24 pm
a unified math that's and that is there isn't a unified math there which they feel like is the very strike of the movement's. more coverage of the protests that a shaking up united states is when few on our website is online all the time i don't call including one marine versus thirty policemen an army sergeant becomes an unintentional spokes person of the occupy wall street movement you can know more about massive don't come. from web sites that you bring in. yes a legendary launch a russian soyuz rocket sets off from a french space space in the tropics coming to use first satellite navigation system aiming to become a royal to america's g.p.s. .
