international news and comment live from moscow this is 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 the convoy carrying the colonel in the city of sirte allowing him to be captured alive but the unclear circumstances of how gadhafi ended up dead shortly after and sparked international calls for an investigation with some reports suggesting he was executed in cold blood bodies and so now he has the latest from the libyan capital. the n.t.s.b. is saying they can stop he was killed by a bullet also conflicting reports as to where exactly those shots were in his make in the right side of his head and the left side of this 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 the donkey 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 touch this head quite some blood away and then there's a knife and it seems that it was we will be 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 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 have been very critical about neda's mission here include be odd 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 to look at those we consider the footage shown on t.v. proves that he was captured alive and wounded and also that he was killed later

there were reports that a convoy carrying macondo was attacked by nato planes and also about the rebels captured members of that convoy has been repeated numerous times and 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. actions person 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 most intent as soon as possible the date when you know it's october thirty first but it has to be said officially nato mission. it's very much alive here in libya the doppies 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 will take place in benghazi where you will take place there that of course was the original rebel stronghold where their whole fight for freedom began it will take

place there instead of the capital because the security situation here is still very tense just a couple of days ago there was a shootout between n.g.c. troops and we got 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 last night asking what's next for they be awake when answering that question my god 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 upcoming months and years. and he's now reporting from tripoli that he's keeping us updated on the developments in libya online as well just head to our to use twitter stream to get the latest from her as the international community tries to get to the bottom of it after his death

a leaked video could very well provide the everyone's looking for. it's old folk we grabbed it and it fits some voters wanted to take him away in isolation twice in the hitler invaded. this libyan says he didn't like the idea of taking the colonel alive you also flaunted what he calls bloodied shirts in a gold ring he claims to have taken from the dead dictator let's get some reaction and analysis now from the middle east expert shereen so getting thank you very much indeed for being with us here on our to another footage of gadhafi is last moment suggest that he could have been executed and now we have this latest revelation from libya where somebody has claimed they did indeed execute him and you think someone could be held accountable for the colonel's death bearing in mind the international community is calling for an investigation the international community is calling for an investigation but they've been complicit in his death so i'm not sure if that's a symbolic call for investigation or if they're actually going to do anything in

any case i don't think that the person who shot him if he's finally identified and know that some names are here just a few days ago just yesterday i noticed the names were given but i don't think that . does it really matter now if nobody's brought to account i don't think it does and that's a good question i don't think it matters any id only thing that i are trying to be getting at this war. and that time now what about the violence and questionable way in which he died does that not as a set at the start perhaps cost a shadow over the future of the country now and indeed cause a shadow over the reputation of the n t c. it casts a shadow on many things that casts a shadow on the m.t.c. it casts a shadow on the future of the country that the person that was known as their leader even if they didn't accept him or even if he himself said that he wasn't a leader. person would be so brutally and publicly chilled it's insulting to the

people of that country it's insulting to the people of that region and it's and it's insulting to suggest that the idea that they're not forces will brutally trial someone like that let's talk about the future now what comes next another gadhafi has gone he ruled with an iron fist and kept his people suppressed for decades very similar to say that hussein there in iraq of course but could we see the country descend into tribal civil war theater unrest absolutely. whether or not it was like that he was very dislikes and with good reason why his people he held his the tribes and the ethnicities together what we're going to see over the next few months and years is massive tribal tribal and physically ethnic divisions very strong vacations between libyans of african descent who have african features

and libyans of. arabic corporatist that as well we're going to see that change happening absolutely he held those people together and even during this war that started in february and we started to see those kinds of by weren't divisions between ethnicities course that collapse of the gadhafi regime was held without any question by nato now you paint a fairly bleak picture for the future does that mean that we will see foreign intervention in the future. well i mean the future is now there is foreign intervention in libya right now but nato says it is leaving by the end of the month but the thirty first of october well you know barack obama said that she's leaving he's taking us troops out of iraq by the end of the year but that doesn't mean that that the ten square miles of the green zone is going to leave by the by december twenty seventh it doesn't mean that independent contractors and other foreigners are going to leave iraq and the same can't be said for libya there are there are

serious corporate and business interests in that country and they're not going to leave. once those interests have materialized will the people of libya eventually benefit from a country that will get back on its feet and obviously be a major oil exporter and become perhaps a major economy i mean that's a positive outlook we don't know what we know is that the people of libya are in the middle of a war right now it's a civil war it's an international war and people are dying civilians are dying they're being imprisoned they're not getting proper medical treatment and and they're the last people that anyone's insecure about so you know if the future is good and we can't see it from here what about the promise of those elections perhaps happening in the next eight months would that not signal the start of a democratic move in libya. i am not to be negative but i mean we heard the same

thing in iraq we heard about elections in iraq we heard about elections in afghanistan and you know we the people of those countries are still suffering these wars and to new elections are a symbolic thing and yes i guarantee you that you will see elections and the m.t.c. started out in february with the montreal with the credo that you are going to bring democracy and elections to let me out and i have no doubt that they will then surely do that but we have reached a point in international relations and specifically in the middle east and south asian awards that are conducted there that elections don't exactly mean very much kareen very interesting to hear your thoughts thanks so much for your time live from the u.s. middle east expert shereen so katie thank you for being with us and i think thank you. well still ahead for you this here in r t double trouble british intelligence faces or confessions after emerges that poison for my k.g.b.

agent alexander litvinenko was also working for emily six. not for debate should the u.k. leave the euro skeptics in britain call for a nationwide referendum on the future of its membership. but first new york has seen yet another series of anti corporate protests which were followed by another round of arrests of is accused the police of being heavy handed towards those who were peacefully expressing their opinion what is there see a coven of has this report. as the numbers of the protests continue to increase so does it seems the 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 these 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 such a l. if something is found on their physical body.

we saw high level high profile activists taken away in handcuffs that colonel west world except there's several members of the ministry and several religious leaders were also taken away again just for performing what they say are simply accepts the full disobedience nonviolent disobedience standing peacefully 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 we saw officers when asked for him physically at which point several activists and followed him with their bodies to try to protect him and keep him from getting arrested those two activists were then some rather violently and taken in the back of the police truck and taken away now what this signifies is that the numbers of these protests continue to grow perhaps putting some sort of fear into the system

here where officials don't feel like they can control movement that seems to have spread wide across the world not just here in the united states. that was caught off the boarding from new york israelis and american activists who spent weeks protesting calling for social justice on the streets of tel aviv but now that the rallies have ended people are wondering when the reforms promised to them by the government. reports. anger outrage and coaches. in 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 the politicians where they went 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 in a bid to join the protests from the beginning she was inspired by what happened in

cairo and caught her tend to your corner. here people were feeding you were praying about it we use it every evening and give all of running a helping to our as you know watch as 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 was very proud of where i am i really get right. to base them anyhow approaches to new york has 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 varies but 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. 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 this looks like any other street in tel aviv but that's what the focal

point of social change the revolution i think its role of the came to be replaced with vikas and the social demands are still waiting to be made. like many american is rabies kaufman 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 greed the protest the struggle i mean anger is in the people still and the struggle is still going to go on i view their. more people around the globe seem to share policy r.t. to love it. still have the passion behind the protest. look on iconography goes both parties i think we want a new party that is new york resident laurie half and it's to find out what uniting message is driving the occupy wall street movement. that's still to come for you but first finance ministers from all twenty seven european union states are meeting in brussels for economic crisis talks europe remains divided over

a solution for the crisis and the greek bailout with ministers saying banks should raise more than one hundred billion euros in new capital and cut the greek debt meanwhile 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 it's costing the country too much information why referendum will be discussed and part of a monday of the conference on the issue in london over the weekend conservative m.p. and supporter of the people's pledge douglas cardwell says there's no economic benefit to keeping the u.k. in if. 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 joined 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 accounts for about fifteen percent of global g.d.p. so you know far from joining a prosperous trading bloc which shackled ourselves to an economic course 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 russian agent alexander litvinenko was granted by the u.k. his widow admits he was working for britain's m i six a long stretching investigation was launched five years ago when litvinenko died of radiation poisoning in london but his live bennett reports now and help recent discoveries could pose some uncomfortable questions for british intelligence. according to britain this is

a man on the run and today 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 lugovoy says he's got nothing to hide so. nobody really expected me to free inquest hearing even a british officials claim i'm hiding from justice my lawyer is annoyed found out about it by sheer chance not found out about it i think the british press would have accused us once again of hiding from justice. league of always lawyers last week echoed calls from live in him because we don't know for full inquest which is now finally been ordered but that's prompted yet another twist in a case already steeped in intrigue. 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 an m i six of the he worked for britain's intelligence and

not just as a consultant she had no other choice she realized you might get involved in the inquest it will be reviewed anyway because i know a few facts that will force a british court ask in my five an m i six 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 questions in an inquest they were the only party trying to limit and they did take it for granted that they can just crash embarrassment can't help it and as i said if it had been consulting for them or working with them and he died in highly. effective that is on their patch then you have of course they would be are questioned about not offering protection to people and also not offering protection to the london public. as the trail of plenty and across the city living in kid died

a slow and painful death. caused by the lethal radioactive substance polonium two ten the unsolved case has been the thorn in the side of british russian relations with moscow refusing to extradite abundance chief suspect as some claim britain's pursuit has blurred the line between fact and fiction there's a whole host of unofficial allegations. how we go from i guess which i were horrible to an accusation that mr lugovoy was responsible is is ludicrous i mean it's all looks very fishy to 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 lugovoy for breakfast here the day he fell ill and that's when he's alleged to have been poisoned forensics to find

a contaminated teapot the link from that saluda boy is still on proven the coroner's inquest will determine once and for all was exactly went on behind these walls something c.c.-t.v. nice to 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. they're always spot by the death of business went surrogate magnitsky in a russian jail two years ago where he was being held on tax evasion charges u.s. blamed moscow for the death and 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 u.s. including kidnapping and torture moscow warns it makes them bullets which has not

been publicly released unless washington drops its sanctions against russian officials. but i'm not up there on some other news in brief an hour from around the world in a world that face the northern part of hundreds of ethnic serbs and shock the nato peacekeepers from removing barricades which have been blocking off the area from months they sat in front of sixteen road blocks to prevent the troops pushing through the barricades which were built back in july when the government attempted to take control of the just before crossing area all because it was home for about forty thousand serbs he refused to recognize the authority of the mainly ethnic albanian kosovo government. the heir to the saudi arabian throne prince sultan bin abdulaziz also 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 royalty especially king abdullah was not in the seventh 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 the question to the current problems came after the government launched a massive anti rebel operation in the area involving ten thousand troops to conflict with the kurdistan workers party or p k k is killed tens of thousands of people since it began in one thousand nine hundred eighty four. your own security. and so 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 mandate since the unrest began in january says the leader must transfer power to his deputy and escalate the violence it was criticized by human rights activists saying it opened the way to granting immunity for the president protests this claim sunny's clinging to power and pushing his country into civil war. with the occupy wall street movement supporting its one month anniversary many

are wondering what exactly has united so many people in protest. own residence 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 message this week let's talk about that and 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 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 tension in a t.v. 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 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 prevailing theme to it everybody's disenfranchised with something you're saying education how cast some guy over there just said shipping jobs out of the country that true this stuff a part of it i mean it's not one thing like i said it's not just one thing and there's a bunch of different reasons other part of it too i mean i definitely agree with the fact that they're shipping jobs in the country we don't do that anymore so so

how would you sum it up in one clears that tends to messages here. political and economic reform how is both parties i think we want a new party so it seems like everyone here feels like there is a unified methods and that is there isn't a unified mass there which. very striking with. more coverage of the protests that are shaking up the united states is waiting for you on our web site it's. called including one in the green versus thirty policeman an army sergeant becomes an unintentional spokes person of the occupy wall street movement and more about it i don't see dot com. all right. legendary launch a russian soyuz rocket sets off from a french space space in the tropics using first satellite navigation system aiming to become a rival to america's and those stories on the. well
