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 some reports suggesting he was executed in cold blood lottie's and 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 in 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 in fears that he's alive he actually goes and touches his head wipes them blood away and then there's a time and it seems that he was we were dead in the later pictures the same thing with one of his sons that was captured in syria the first pictures of him standing
4:02 pm
against a wall smoking a cigarette very to be 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 neda's mission here in libya not 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. 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 macondo was attacked by nato planes and off the bat the rebels captured members of that convoy it has been repeated numerous times that nato planes are any have a u.n. mandate to ensure a no fly zone over libya and the convoy wasn't posing any threat to civilians on
4:03 pm
the ground and couldn't be a legitimate target so nato actions pose a number of questions as well. as speaking of that no fly zone which is of course how this mission began back in march the u.n. looking into when it will officially and now russia pushing for that mission to end a soon as possible the date when you know it 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 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 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 downfield loyalists alone mostly celebrations have been taking place obviously officials the interim officials are worried that there could be some kind
4:04 pm
of violence here in the capital very few people obviously were on the streets asking what's next for they be allayed couldn't answer that question was 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 on line as well as head to artie's twitter stream to get the latest from her. as the international community tries to get to the bottom of gadhafi is death a leaked video could very well provide the answer everyone's looking for so for the note we grabbed it 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 chest this libyan says he didn't like the idea of taking the colonel alive you also flaunted what he calls
4:05 pm
gadhafi is bloodied shirt and a gold ring he claims have taken from the dead dictator middle east expert shereen sergei he has told me that she thinks the colonel's death will open up an era of tribal and ethnic conflict across. 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 the m.t.c. to cast a shadow on the future of the country cannot be held his the tribes and the ethnicities together what we're going to see over the next few months and years is massive china will and specifically ethnic divisions very strong the regions between the libyans of african descent who have african features and libyans of arabic very very distant as well and even during this war it started in every and we started to see those kinds of violent divisions between ethnicities the people of glee up are in the middle of a war right now it's
4:06 pm
a civil war it's an international war and sheeple are dying civilians are dying they're being imprisoned they're not getting proper medical treatment and and they're in the last people that anyone seems to care about so you know if the future is good we can't see it from here it's to have you on the program the double trouble british intelligence faces open questions 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 but first 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 those who were peacefully expressing that opinion you see coming off as this report. as the numbers of the protests continue to increase so
4:07 pm
does it seems that heavy handed tactics by the new york city police department we witnessed several arrests about thirty two activists were arrested for demonstrating peacefully outside of 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 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 purnell west world except on the others several members of the ministry and 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 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
4:08 pm
officers and went after him physically at which point several activists and below ten of them with their bodies to try to protect him and keep him from getting arrested those two activists were then comes up rather violently and taken it back to 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. it was lucy companies reporting from new york israelis inspired by american activists who spent weeks protesting and calling for a social justice on the streets of tel aviv but now that the runners have ended people are left wondering when the reforms promised to them by the government much . pools of. anger outreach and protest on the streets. new york a throwback to the same scenes different streets around ten thousand kilometers
4:09 pm
away the politicians in the united states exaggerated in the same way as the politicians. think when 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 bid to join the protests from the beginning she was inspired by what happened in cairo and caught her taint tapio corner car but there. were three there were praying every evening and people are coming and talking to 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 by the berthoud out for a day or i remember right ok i have to base an hour and to me how the protests in new york have strong parallels with those in israel in how they came about and why
4:10 pm
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 while this looks like any other street in tel aviv but the focal point of social change revolutionizing its role but the pain of being replaced with by kids and the social demands of the waiting to be made like many american is rabies many 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 the people still and the struggle is for when you go on a view that more and more people around the globe. seem to share policy r.t. tel aviv. still ahead for you this hour here in r.t.
4:11 pm
the passion behind the protest. were going i cannot reform the whole of both parties i think we want to new parties parties new york resident laurie hoffman is find out what uniting 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 europe remains divided over a solution for the debt crisis and the greek bailout with minister 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. people's pledge campaign believes the e.u. undermines britain's sovereignty and is costing the country too much in a month for a nationwide referendum will be discussed in parliament on monday the group held a 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.
4:12 pm
in. it's costing us a great deal of money where 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 by twenty twenty year poor account 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 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
4:13 pm
russian agent alexander litvinenko was granted by the u.k. his widow admits he was working for britain's m i six the long stretching investigation was launched five years ago when litvinenko died of radiation poisoning in london bodies of a 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 quote regrettably did 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. league of always
4:14 pm
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 at all of the. my lawyers and i put ourselves food as an interested party so live in yonkers we don't i was forced to admit her husband was a paid agent of m i five and m i six o'clock 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 this will be reviewed anyway because i know a few facts that will force the british court to ask m i five an m i six 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 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 can just
4:15 pm
crash in paris with country 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 our questions about not offering protection to people and also not offering protection to the london public is the sort. plenty 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 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
4:16 pm
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 new boy for breakfast here but they he fell ill and that's when he's alleged to have been poisoned forensics did find the contaminated teapot but the link from that to move 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 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
4:17 pm
a similar line up of russians banned by washington from entering the u.s. the role was sparked by the death of businessman set of magnitsky in a russian jail two years ago where he's being held on text of asian charges he was 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 wants 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 an era that has cost u.s. taxpayers over eight hundred billion dollars almost four hundred thousand u.s. soldiers have died during their service in the iraq war zone and iraqi american political activist giraffe 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 up. very important milestone i think iraq in
4:18 pm
general have been waiting for this is the last eighty years we want to hear this military occupation is or. is a major step in but i bet action unfortunately it does not necessarily mean the end of the u.s. involvement intervention in iraq because the u.s. is planning to keep sixteen thousand. under the speed the bottom of the overall political leaders of not keeping some. three in the new iraqi army on using newly purchased u.s. weapons but they are against immunity because that have been a long list of crimes that were committed killing iraqi civilians with no accountability. u.s. intervention and occupation of iraq has been a disaster that has not because. there is nothing to look back at it has been
4:19 pm
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 us is ending its intervention because i think this will help iraqis move forward and put the country in that i talk. let's update you now on some other international stories making headlines this hour in northern possible nato peacekeepers have tried to remove barricades put up by ethnic serbs have been stopped by hundreds of people because of a serb sat in front of sixteen road blocks to prevent foreign troops pushing through of arcane western peacekeepers and local serbian leaders afterwards failed to achieve a breakthrough during talks held later on saturday barricades in the region were built by local serbs back in july when the ethnic albanian government attempted to take control of the disputed crossing area. to the saudi arabian throne prince

4:21 pm
transfer power to his deputy and escalating it was criticized by human rights activists say it opened the way to granting immunity for the president to test his playing style is clinging to power pushing his country into civil. well with the occupy wall street movement surpassing its one month anniversary many are wondering what exactly has united so many people in protest and more a half an 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 but there isn't a centralized message a lot of people say that's 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 our one month anniversary and and i think it's
4:22 pm
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 sound bite no one has attended a.d.d. world and they need a sound bite are there 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 a lot of people are saying that the message is that unified and that's an issue that the movement is having its problem communicating but i don't see it as an issue. because the feel like if it was unified i think it was ultimately this
4:23 pm
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 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 decision. 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 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 definitely agree with that the fact that they're shipping jobs in the country we don't need any more so so how would you sum it up in one clears that tends what the message is here. political and economic reform the whole of both parties i think we want to new
4:24 pm
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 movement. well more coverage of the protests that are shaking up the united states is waiting for the moment on a website is faulty don't come online all the time being one marine versus thirty policeman becomes an unintentional spokesperson of 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 rockets from a french space base in the tropics use first not unlike satellite i should say navigation system aiming to become a rival to america's g.p.s. that story and plenty of others about don't.
