5:01 pm
international news and 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 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 somehow has the latest from the libyan capital. the n.c.c. is saying that gadhafi was killed by bullet wounds also conflicting reports as to where exactly those shots were in his making 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 gadhafi whether or not he's dead or alive very unclear at first in the first couple
5:02 pm
of shots if it interferes that he's alive he actually goes and touches head right somewhat away and then there's a part and you know it seems that he was 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 city alive then the video cards and all of the sudden he's dead so really pressure coming from around the world both from the us and other countries that have been very critical about neighbors mission here in libya not that something needs to be done about an investigation the u.n. is running on launching 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 that. the footage shown on t.v. proves that he was captured alive and wounded but also that he was killed later there were reports that
5:03 pm
a convoy carrying macondo was attacked by nature planes and after that the rebels captured a convoy it 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 posing any threat to civilians on the ground and could be a legitimate target so nato actions pairs 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 the fish really and how russia pushing for that mission down to soon as possible we do know is october thirty first because this is officially nato mission. he's very much alive here in libya it's obvious 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
5:04 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 few loyalists 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 despite our showing the world community has begun to think what that will be see happen here in the upcoming months and years and he said mary reporting from tripoli there and she's keeping us updated on the developments in libya as well as you said to our tease to this trying to get the latest from her. connor's international community tries to get to the bottom of it after his death a leaked video could very well provide the answer everyone's looking for solve the
5:05 pm
code we grabbed it i hate it when the figs some guy has wanted to take him away and that's why i shot twice in the here and in the changed. this movie and says he didn't like the idea of taking the conan alive you also thought of what he calls going after his beloved shirt and a gold ring he claims have taken from the dictator middle east experts shereen it's a good talk a little earlier that she thinks the colonel's death will open up an era of tribal and ethnic conflict across libya. the international community is calling for an investigation but they've been complicit in his death it cast a shadow on many things that cast a shadow on the n.c.c. to cast a shadow on the future of the country he told his the tribes and the ethnicities together and what we're going to see over the next few months and years is massive child will and specifically ethnic divisions some very strong agents between libyans of african descent who have african features and leans of arabic or for
5:06 pm
just that as well and even during this war of this started in february are we starting to see those kinds of by which the divisions between ethnicity the people of libya are in the middle of a war right now it's a civil war it's an international war and sheeple are trying civilians are dying they're being imprisoned they're not getting proper medical treatment and and there in alaska people that anyone seems to care about so you know is the future is good we can't see it from here. still ahead in the program this hour double trouble british intelligence faces awkward questions after it emerges that poisoned former k.g.b. agent alexander litvinenko was also working for m i six. and up for debate should the u.k. leave the e.u. euro skeptics in britain call for a nationwide referendum on the future of its membership.
5:07 pm
people can see 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 are peacefully expressing their opinion are these new sycophant or has this report. as the numbers of the protests continue to increase because 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 vitally use here in new york where many innocent civilians can be stopped on the street with very little actual suspicious pas 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 coral dix among others several members of the ministry of the several religious leaders
5:08 pm
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 at the police actually target our 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 below kept them with their bodies to try to protect them and keep them from getting arrested those two activists were then handcuffed 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 a movement that seems to have spread wide across the world not just here in the united states. so you can run a reporting there from new york israelis inspired by american activists have spent
5:09 pm
weeks protesting and calling for social justice on the streets of tel aviv but now that the rallies have ended people are left wondering when the reforms promised to them by the government will emerge reports. anger outrage and protest on 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 this is where they went too far in taking for granted the citizens occupy wall street it wasn't that long ago israelis were calling to occupy what struggle of art you know you will a bit joined approaches from the beginning she was inspired by what happened in cairo and caught her taint takio corner. here people were feeding her were praying every evening and people are coming in. as you know watches events unfold in
5:10 pm
faraway 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 everything is great. so sadly there is a very old pugilist in new york a strong parallels with those in israel in how they came about and why the similarity between the protesters just uncanny. the way they started and various with 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 the flip of a little boy up the hill paved the revolutionizing his role to play in the game of meet with bikers and the social demands of the waiting. tickly like media american israelis many is watching the us rallies closely and says there are an inspiration
5:11 pm
to many in israel is proud people are taking a stand against corruption and the protests the struggle and the anger is in the people still and the show is for going to go on a view that more and more people around the globe seem to share policy r.t. television. still ahead of this passion behind the protest. look at our government reform the whole of both parties i think we want to new party parties new york resident hartness finds out what unites thousands of people taking part in the occupy wall street movement. 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 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 while british euro skeptics are pushing for the right to vote on a referendum on whether the country should lead the e.u.
5:12 pm
people's pledge campaign believes the e.u. undermines britain sovereignty and its cost in the country too much of a man for a nationwide referendum will be discussed in parliament on monday a group of the conference on the issue in london over the weekend a conservative m.p. and supporter of the people's pledge douglas cars will says there's no economic benefit to keeping the u.k. in the e.u. . 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 that by twenty twenty year poor account for about fifteen percent of global g.d.p. so you know far from joining
5:13 pm
a prosperous trading bloc which shackled ourselves to an economic corpse you know the 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 indebted states across the channel. because while there as an inquest into the death of former russian agent alexander litvinenko is 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 you've been in co died of radiation poisoning in london what is argued bennett reports and how recent discoveries could pose some uncomfortable questions for british intelligence. according to britain this is a man on the run found 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. nobody really
5:14 pm
did me at the 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. league or is lawyers last week echoed calls from libya because we don't know for a full inquest which is now finally been ordered but that prompted yet another twist in a case already steeped in intrigue and all the growing years of the laws and i put ourselves food as an interested party so live in yonkers widow was forced to admit her husband was a paid agent of in mice i've been in my sixty's and 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 revealed anyway because i know a few facts that will force the british court to ask in my five in my suits
5:15 pm
a few questions. until now marina lived in yonkers always denied any such link she says he was out of loyalty to her husband she refused to speak to us this is 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 crash in paris with some help it and i said if it had been consulting for them or working with them and he died in highly. natori circumstances 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 if 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 abundance chief suspect has some claim britain's pursuit has blurred the line
5:16 pm
between fact and fiction there's a whole host of unofficial allegations. how we go from again which however horrible to an accusation that mr lugovoy was responsible is is ludicrous i mean it's all looks very fishy do 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 the rains 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 did find the contaminated teapot but the link from back 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
5:17 pm
conclude their own investigation as for lugovoy he says he'll answer any questions they've got not in person of course provide a video link i have been it artsy london. russia has barred several u.s. officials from visiting the country in an escalating row over the death of lawyer magnitsky in a moscow prison almost two years ago this comes in response to a similar blacklist the russians banned by washington from entering the u.s. magnitsky died after a year on remand facing tax evasion charges his colleagues claimed he was held after he allegedly killed forty gets a number of russian officials to prison doctors face charges in moscow of negligence over his death but the u.s. is now refusing to grant visas to several russians it says are connected to the case what's go says the americans it has blacklisted this saturday are suspected of crimes against russian citizens in the u.s. including kidnapping and torture russia's also warned it makes the list which has not been publicly released unless washington drops its sanctions. president barack
5:18 pm
obama has announced the end to american military deployment in iraq cauldron all troops to leave by the end of the year 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 their service in the iraq war zone in order an iraqi american political activists regular 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. very important milestone i think you are in general and have been waiting for this is the last atheists you want to hear this u.s. military occupation is or what it's all for it is a major step and but i've had action unfortunately it does not necessarily mean the end of the us involvement and intervention in iraq because the us is planning to
5:19 pm
keep sixteen thousand person and under the state department over all the iraqi political leaders i'm not against keeping some us. to train the new iraqi army on using new you purchased us weapons but they are against granting them immunity because good have been a long list of crimes that were committed killing iraqi civilians with no accountability the us intervention and occupation of iraq has been disaster there is no victory to claim there's nothing to look record because a disaster 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 the intervention started i'm very happy that the us is ending its intervention because i think this will help iraqis move forward and put the country in the right truck. i cannot update you on

5:22 pm
half and it's our own 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 message this week let's talk about that there isn't 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 were we're just over a month old. october seventeenth was our one month anniversary and and i think it's it's early 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 hasn't 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
5:23 pm
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 the potential of a.d.d. world and they need a sound bite or they're awful that the current dominant paradigm and to where looking to give examples of what alternative paradigms could exist i try to come every day for a couple of hours so a lot of people who say that the message is it unified and that's an issue that the movement of having its problem communicating but i don't see it is an issue. because you like it 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 sort of makes them think about why they're here well they're in the alternative do you think that that's
5:24 pm
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 say education how cast them by over there just said shipping jobs out of the country through their stuff a part of it i mean there's not one thing i just 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 the fact that they're shipping jobs of the country we don't need any more so so how would you sum it up in one clear spent tens but the math it says here. political and economic reform the whole of both parties i think we want to party so i think like everybody here feels like there is a unified methods and that is there isn't a unified math there which they feel like it's a very strike and movements. for more of the protests that are shaking up the u.s. log on to our website it's our dot com find out about former u.s.
