4:01 pm
international news in comment live from moscow this is r.t. libya's interim government is expected to announce the symbolic liberation of the country following the death of colonel gadhafi on thursday and 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 allowing him to be captured alive but the unclear circumstances of how gadhafi ended up dead shortly after sparked international calls for an investigation but some reports suggesting he was executed in cold blood clot easily so now he has the latest from the living capital . the n.t.s.b. is saying that it's not he was killed by a bullet wound also conflicting reports as to where exactly those shots were in his stomach in the right side of his head in the large 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 at the age of piers that
4:02 pm
he's alive he actually goes and touches head quite some blood away and then there's a fight and you know it seems that he was we would be dead in the later could just the same thing with one of his sons that was captured in syria the first pictures of him standing against the 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 we've been very critical about meet his mission here in libya not that something needs to be done about an investigation the u.n. is planning on launching investigation in 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. 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 the car was attacked by nato kline's and also that the rebels
4:03 pm
captured that convoy 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 by using 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 it was up for secret missions and as soon as possible we do know is october thirty first but it has to be said officially nato mission. it is 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 are their whole fight for freedom began it will take place there instead of the capital because the security situation here is
4:04 pm
still very tense just a couple of days ago there was a shootout between m.t.c. troops and the town feel loyalists alone mostly celebrations have been taking place obviously officials are 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 really be awaken answer that question because 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 no reporting from tripoli there and she's keeping us updated on the developments in libya on line as well as had to marty's twitter stream to get the latest from her and as the international community tries to get to the bottom of his death a leaked video could very well provide the answer everyone's looking for this old
4:05 pm
slogan no we grabbed him i hit him in the face some fighters wanted to take him away and that's when i shot him twice in the head and in the changed this libyan says he didn't like the idea of taking the colonel alive you also flaunted what he calls gadhafi has bloodied shirt and a gold ring he claims were taken from the dictator middle east expert shireen sygate he has told me earlier that she thinks the colonel's death will open up an era of tribal and ethnic conflict across some of. the international community is calling for an investigation but they've been complicit and his death casts a shadow. on many things it casts a shadow on me and he seeks to cast a shadow on the future of the country could i ask pete help here's the tribes and the ethnicities together and what we're going to see over the next few months and years is massive child and specifically ethnic divisions very strong the asians between libyans of african descent who have african cultures and lillian's arabic
4:06 pm
over descent as well and even during this war it started in february and we started to see those kinds of by which the divisions between ethnicities the people of glee up 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 there in alaska people that anyone's into care about so you know if the future is good we can't see it from here it's going to have you on the program as a double trouble british intelligence faces all the lessons after it emerges that poisoned former k.g.b. agent alexander litvinenko was also working for m i six. up for debate should the u.k. leave the euro skeptics in britain call for a nationwide referendum on the future of its membership. and story still to come because new york has seen yet another series of anti corporate protests which were
4:07 pm
followed by another round of arrests activists accuse the police have been heavy handed towards those who were peacefully expressing that opinion you see coming off as this report. 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 senate actually taken to jail if something is found on their physical body. we saw high level high profile activists taking away and can process colonel west world and some others several members of the ministry that several religious leaders were also taken away again just for performing what they say are simply
4:08 pm
acts of civil 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 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 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 a movement that seems to have spread wide across the world not just here in the united states. reporting from new york israelis inspired by american activists who spent weeks protesting and calling for social justice on the streets of tel aviv another be run is offended people are left wondering when the reforms promised to
4:09 pm
them by the government which. pulls. anger outreach and protests on the streets. 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 chills in is where they went so far been taking for granted the citizens occupy wall street it wasn't that long ago israelis were calling to occupy what's child boulevard you know libya to join the protests from the beginning she was inspired by what happened in cairo and caught her taint tapio corner car but here people were betting you were playing music every evening and people are planning on 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
4:10 pm
street rallies are the first hour of work i really like this break ok so to days where they really hold the protests in new york have strong parallels with those in his role and how they came about and why the similarity between the protesters then came. the way they started and faced with the way they chose a location very close to where. the center of power is or the center of readers 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 this looks like any other street in tel aviv but the fact that local boy up the hill paved the revolutionizing his role for the came to be replaced with bikers and the social demands after waiting to be like a media american is radio and he kaufman is watching the us rallies closely and says they are an inspiration to many in israel is proud people are taking a stand against corruption and greed to protest the struggle of the anger is in the
4:11 pm
people still there and the struggle is still going to go on a view that more and more people around the globe. seem to share policy r t tel aviv. still ahead for the passion behind the protest. political and economic reform to hold both parties i think we want to party parties new york resident laurie hoffman is finds out what united message is driving the occupy wall street movement. but first the finance ministers from all twenty seven european union states are meeting in brussels for economic crisis talks remains divided over a solution for the debt crisis and the greek bailout with this is saying banks should raise more than one hundred billion euros in new capital and cut the greek debt and meanwhile british euro skeptics are pushing for the right to vote on a referendum on whether the country should leave the e.u. people's pledge campaign believes the e.u. undermines britain's sovereignty and it's costing the country too much in
4:12 pm
a month for a nationwide referendum will be discussed in parliament on monday the group 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. if. it's costing us a great deal of money we're spending billions of pounds bailing out a currency we couldn'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 by twenty twenty year poor account for about fifteen percent of global g.d.p. so you're far from joining a prosperous trading bloc which shackled ourselves to an economic corpse the
4:13 pm
economic rationale for being in the european union i think has 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 and get 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 stretch an investigation was launched five years ago when litvinenko died of radiation poisoning in london now these are the bennett reports on her 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 critic of what he did nobody really expected me at the inquest hearing even
4:14 pm
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. league of always lawyers last week echoed calls from libya 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 staked an intrigue and all that. my lawyers and i put ourselves food as an interested party so live in yonkers we don't know it was forced to admit her husband was a paid agent of m i five in n.y.c. but he worked for britain's intelligence and not just as a consultant because she had no other choice she realized if i get involved in the inquest it will be revealed anyway because i know a few facts that will force the british court to ask in my five in my suits a few questions. until now marina lippman yankers always denied any such link she says he was out of loyalty to her husband she refused to speak to us
4:15 pm
this is mission leaves m i five facing awkward questions in an inquest they were the only party trying to limit and they did make a granted that they can just crash in paris without help it and as i said if it can yank it had been consulting for them or working with them and guiding highly and the tourists that if that is on their patch then you have of course they were questions about not offering protection to people and also not offering protection to the london public affairs. 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 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
4:16 pm
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 the day he fell ill and that's when he's alleged to have been poisoned forensics to find the contaminated teapot the link from back to lou void 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 but won't disclose it until they conclude their own investigation as for lugovoy he says he'll answer any questions
4:17 pm
they've got not in person of course but via video link i have been it artsy 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 us there i was sparked by the death of businessman seventy eight magnitsky in a russian jail two years ago where he's being held on tax of asian charges he was blamed moscow for the death and is now refusing to grant visas to several russian officials says the americans it has now blacklisted in response are suspected of crimes against russian citizens in the u.s. including kidnapping and torture also warns it makes them the list which has not been publicly released unless washington drops its sanctions against russian officials. present barack obama has 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 and there are this cost u.s. taxpayers over eight hundred billion dollars almost four hundred thousand u.s.
4:18 pm
soldiers have died during this service in the iraq war zone in iraq in 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 region will end. this is a very important milestone i think that archy's enjoy not and have been waiting for this is the atheists they want to hear this u.s. military occupation of what they saw 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 bottom of all thought all political leaders are not against keeping some u.s. trainers to train venue iraqi army or using. just u.s. weapons but they are against god because there have been
4:19 pm
a long list of crimes that were committed killing iraqi civilians with north can't even if the u.s. intervention and occupation of iraq has been a disaster it is not because. there is nothing to back 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 the problem. or two decades since the intervention started i'm very happy that the u.s. is ending its intervention because i think this will help iraqis move forward and put the country and that i. let's update you now on some other international stories making headlines this hour in northern possible nato peacekeepers have tried to remove brocades put up by ethnic serbs and been stopped by hundreds of people because of a serb sat in front of sixteen roadblocks to prevent foreign troops pushing through the barricades western peacekeepers and local serbian leaders afterwards failed to achieve a breakthrough during talks held later on saturday barricades in the region were

4:22 pm
a centralized message a lot of people said that the problem and i think that's actually a strength that we currently have. as a movement where 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 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 where looking to give examples of what alternative paradigms could exist i tried to come every day for a couple of hours so
4:23 pm
a lot of people are saying that the message is it unified and that's an issue that the movement of having its its problem communicating but i don't see it is an issue . because the feel like it i unified i think it was 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 side 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 dissing. franchiser it's something you take education in how caste come by over there just said shipping jobs out of the country got through their stuff a 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 agree with the fact
4:24 pm
that they're shipping jobs of the country we don't need any more so so how would you sum it up in one clears that intense like amount that has had. 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 mass states and that is there isn't a unified mass that which they feel like is the very strike of the movements. well more coverage of the protests and a shaking up united states is waiting for you the moment on a website it's all online all the time creating one marine versus thirty policeman on me so i can becomes an unintentional spokesperson the the occupy wall street movement you find out more about that at all if you don't come. and the legendary launch of russian soyuz rocket sets off from the french space base in the tropics use first national satellite i should say navigation system
