international news and comment live from moscow this is because interim government is expected to announce the symbolic liberation of the country following the death of color 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 have sparked international calls for an investigation with some reports suggesting he was executed in cold blood and he said now he has the latest from the libyan capital. the n.t.s.b. is saying that gadhafi was killed by 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
3:02 pm
gadhafi whether or not he was dead or alive very unclear at first in the first couple of shots of the it appears that he's alive he actually goes and touches head quite some blood away and then there's the five and it seems that he was clearly dead in those 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 were very very critical about neda's 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 weight he was killed in these pictures that we saw were perhaps not the best possible way to go to look at. this and the footage shown on t.v. proves that he was captured a long life and wounded and after that she was killed later there were reports that
3:03 pm
a convoy carrying macondo was attacked by nature planes and also about the rebels captured members of that convoy has been repeated numerous times that nato planes are new have a u.n. mandate to ensure a no fly zone over libya and the convoy wasn't producing 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 of course infamous and as soon as possible they don't want to know is october thirty first but it has to be said officially nato mission. it's very much alive here in libya gadhafi is body is in a walk in refrigerator now in misrata and already way beyond the twenty four hour mark how he had been buried by muslim tradition the official liberation ceremony will take place in benghazi we're hearing it will take place there that of course was the original rebel stronghold where their whole fight for freedom began it will
3:04 pm
take place there instead of the capital because the security situation here is still very tense just a couple of days ago there was a shootout between m.t.c. troops and the town feel oil was a low mostly celebrations have been taking place obviously officials by 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 look like asking what's next where they'd be and make an announcement back question my god so the 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 and that there's going to be this how will show 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 that she's keeping us updated on the developments in libya as well as how to auntie's to stream to get the latest from. but as the international community tries to get to the bottom of it after his death a leaked video could very well provide the answer everyone is looking for as old
3:05 pm
slogan we grabbed it by him in the face some fighters wanted to take him away and that's one way short of what's in the here and in the chit systems of this levin says he didn't like the idea of taking the colonel alive you also thought of what he calls about these blood shirts and a gold ring he kinds of taking from the dead pretentious middle east expert here in security told me earlier that the colonel's death will open up an era of tribal and ethnic conflict across libya but the international community is calling for an investigation but they've been complicit and his death casts a shadow on many things that cast a shadow on the m.t.c. to cast a shadow on the future of the country could i ask he helped his the tribes and the ethnicities together and what we're going to see only the next few months and years is massive trial and the sticking point ethnic divisions and very strong relations between libyans of african descent who have african countries and leanne's arabic

a whole host of unofficial allegations. how we go from i guess which however horrible you were an accusation that mr luker boy was responsible is is ludicrous i mean it's all looks very fishy joy an unbiased observer but the diet that we have been fed in britain through the media. short circuits a lot of that this is where it all began the millennium hotel in central london and it's what happened in here remains the biggest question mark living in commit lugovoy for breakfast here and they he fell ill and that's when he's alleged to have been poisoned forensics did fine because downing to teach the link from back to move forward is still unproven it's hoped the coroner's inquest will determine once and for all what exactly 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

soldiers have died during their service in the iraq war was a blogger and iraqi american political activist nigel thinks the u.s. withdrawal is a step forward for both countries and it doesn't mean america's influence in the region will end this very important milestone i think that our keys enjoy not and have been waiting for this is the last eight years we want to hear this u.s. military occupation is all 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 u.s. involvement and intervention in iraq because the u.s. is planning to keep sixteen thousand person and under state department all fought all the iraqi political leaders of 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 can't communicate because there have been a long list of crimes that were committed here killing iraqi civilians with no
3:21 pm
accountability the u.s. intervention and occupation of iraq has been a disaster that has not because. there's nothing on the record 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 i'm very happy that the u.s. is ending its input mention because i think this will help move forward and put the country in but i talk. well the occupy wall street movement surpassing its one month anniversary many are wondering what exactly has united so many people in protest. and residents in new york went to the center of the action people. a month into the occupy wall street movement is there a unified method this week let's talk about that and there isn't
3:22 pm
a centralized message a lot of people say that's a 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 movements 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 now and has the potential of the 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 cover for
3:23 pm
a couple of years so a lot of people are saying that the messages that unified and that's an issue that the movement of having its problem communicating but i don't see the issue. because do you feel like it unified i think it was really this is a big battle of ideas there's fifteen different worldviews per square foot. 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 is disenfranchised with something you're saying education how caste umpire over there just said shipping jobs out of the country that's true especially part of it i mean it's not one thing i said it's not just one thing and there's
3:24 pm
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 that anymore so so how would you sum it up in one clears patents but the math which is where political and economic reform how is both parties i think we want to party through things like everyone here feels like there is a unified methods and that is there isn't a unified math there which they feel like is the very strike of the movements. or coverage of the protests that shaking up the united states says we don't know what started don't come one marine passes thirty policemen and all the sergeant becomes an unintentional spokesperson of the occupy wall street movement and then one on the website. saying that's relaunch a russian soyuz rocket sets off from a french space base in the tropics trying to use first satellite navigation system
