news for russia and around the world this is our sea with me thanks for joining us he was interim government says it's going to hold elections within the next eighteen months as they watch one country prepares to celebrate the day of liberation following the death of colonel gadhafi but the unclear circumstances of booth on leaders does have sparked international calls for an investigation with every new piece of video casting a deep shadow on the official version that he died in crossfire and he's in our has the latest from the libyan capital for. 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 and the last 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 of the it appears that
6:02 pm
he's alive he actually goes and touches take quite some blood away and then there's a fight and you know it seems that it was clearly 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 a 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 nato 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 a wait 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 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 that the rebels
6:03 pm
captured members of that convoy has been repeated numerous times and they took planes are in the have a u.n. mandate to ensure a no fly zone over libya and the convoy parties are going to threat to civilians on the ground and could 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 how it was so pushing for that mission and as soon as possible they don't want to you know october thirty first but it has to set 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 of how he had been buried by muslim tradition the official liberation ceremony will take place in benghazi were very able to take place there that of course was the original rebel stronghold where their whole life for freedom began it will take place there instead of the top little because the security situation here is still
6:04 pm
very tense just a couple of days ago there was a shootout between m.t.c. troops and the top 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 of my asking what's next where they'd be and they can answer that question my god 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 i will show you the world community has begun to think what will we see happen here in the coming months and years. and as some in the international community try to get to the bottom of conduct his death and leaks in the job could very well provide the answer everyone's looking for the souls of the note we grabbed by here to the streets some players want to take them away and that's what shocked once in the hooker in the richest. so this. year's that's right this libyan fighters says he
6:05 pm
didn't like the idea of taking the colonel alive and he also noted that the cause is a blood test of blood it shot and a gold ring on which the name of cadet his second wife cynthia and the date of their marriage had their grade was raised to have these debts but surely in so getting it sings the panels of death will open up an air of tribal and ethnic conflict across. the international community is calling for an investigation but they've been complicit in his death it casts a shadow on many things that cast a shadow on me and cast a shadow on the future of the country held his the tribes and the ethnicities together and what we're going to see over the next few months and years is massive trial and specifically ethnic divisions and very strong you can see explain to libyans of african descent who have african teachers and lillian's arabic over just
6:06 pm
as well and even during this war it started in february and we've started to see those kinds of by whats the divisions between ethnicities the people of louis up are in the middle of a war right now it's a civil war or it's an international war and people are trying civilians are dying they're being imprisoned they're not getting proper medical treatment and and they're in the last people that anyone's into care about you know is the future is good we can't see it from here. still ahead for you this hour double trouble richard faces implications as it emerges that poisoned former k.g.b. agent xander if you don't go also had ties with the country's intelligence services . to points or not to which is called sort of god and british membership of the e.u. euro skeptics called for a nationwide referendum on leaving the union. that's later but now the occupy wall

6:08 pm
street and in washington now one of the biggest issues of the occupy wall street protests today is the heavy hand of police tactics by the officers one protesters are simply they say making their voices heard trying to get politicians to listen to them in a country that base they no longer represents their democratic needs or democratic interest do seem to be growing we've seen increasing numbers of protesters out in the streets from seattle to chicago to los angeles some of the people i've spoken to today in fact say they're they're starting a small scale protest in upstate new york it seems like this movement is popping up all across the country prospered in authorities know how to handle it one of the interesting fact that many of the protesters here have cited both to me and other reporters working for r.t.e. is the fact that the united states of all it only represents about five percent of the total world's population has the highest one of the highest incarceration rates across the globe in fact
6:09 pm
a quarter of all worlds in our house in prisons here in the united states this is one of the biggest issues that concerning protesters here many of whom like to point out the fact that you people on wall street have been arrested or punished for corporate crimes while innocent civilians seem to be jailed for simply speaking simply stepping off the curb for example or marching in demonstrations that they say are constitutionally protected here in the legal system in the united states. that was loose accounting and reporting from new york and our christiane's in america calls the ongoing anti corporate demonstrations there for you and you can. you can actually heard from them heading to our cheese twitter stream to get all the latest updates and one of her tweets artie's lisa catherine of says that police have surrounded union square in new york and it seems now that there are more officers than protested. pulling out now israel is inspired by american acts of its spent weeks protesting and calling for social justice on the streets of tel aviv
6:10 pm
but now there be rallies abounded people are left wondering when the reforms promised to them by the government will emerge after his policy of reports. anger outreach and protests on the streets of new york a throwback to the same scenes different streets around chain thousand kilometers away the politicians. exaggerated in the same way as the. far in taking for granted the citizens occupy wall street it wasn't that long ago israelis were calling to occupy what strolled boulevard you know a big joined approaches from the beginning she was inspired by what happened in cairo and caught retained tapio corner. here. people were feeding who were praying every evening and give all of running and talking. as you know watches events
6:11 pm
unfolding for we knew all she misses the six weeks she lived here and wishes she could be part of the wall street rallies i am very proud of everything you read. and really holds the pugilist in new york has strong parallels with those of israel in how they came about and why the similarity between the protesters just uncanny. the way they started out varies with the way they chose the location very close to where the. 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 be communications made by government committee still need to be implemented and that could take them all the throats like any other streets in tel aviv but it looks like the focal point of social change revolutionizing its role of the taint the game made with bikers and the social demands are still waiting to be played like many american is raids because many is watching the u.s. rallies closely and sees there an inspiration to many in israel he's proud people
6:12 pm
are taking a stand against corruption and protest the struggle and the anger is in the people still. the struggle is still going to go on i view that more and more people around the globe seem to share please see r.t. tel aviv. and ahead for you this hour the passion behind the protests. we're going to comic reform behold both parties i think we want to do part of. our she's a new york a residentially we hartnett still find out what unites thousands of people taking part in the occupy wall street movement. finance ministers from all twenty seven european union states are meeting in brussels for more talks on the e.u. spiraling economic crisis which threatens to turn global europe or main street over a solution for greece's debt disaster and bailout with minister saying should raise more than one hundred billion euros in new capital and
6:13 pm
a write off some of the country's debt in a while british euro skeptics are pushing for the right to vote on a referendum for the country to leave the european union the people's pleasure campaign believes the e.u. undermines the u.k. sovereignty and the calls to the country are simply too high into the conference by the group demands for a nationwide referendum would be sure to be discussed in westminster on monday a conservative m.p. and supporter of the pledges of the people's pledged. douglas consuls there's no economic benefit to the u.k. staying in the. 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
6:14 pm
of global g.d.p. it turns out both by twenty trying to europe or account for about fifteen percent of global g.d.p. so you know far from joining a prosperous trading bloc we shackled ourselves to an economic course 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. as an inquest into the death of former russian agent alexander litvinenko is granted by the u.k. as we do admits he was working for british intelligence the long stretching investigation was launched five years ago when that one could died of radiation poisoning in london he's either bench 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
6:15 pm
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 probably did nobody really expected me at the pre inquest hearing even though british officials claim i'm hiding from justice my lawyers annoyed 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 live with his 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 and war that. my lawyers and i put ourselves as an interested party so live in yonkers we don't i was forced to admit her husband was a paid agent of n.y.c. even in my sixty's but he worked for britain's intelligence and not just as
6:16 pm
a consultant because she had no other choice she realized you might get involved in the inquest this will be reviewed anyway because i know a few facts that will force the british court ask in my five an m i six a few questions. until now marina lipman yank has always denied any such link that 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 crash embarrassment can't help it and as i said if you can yank it had been consulting for them or working with them and he died in highly and the tourist second that is on their patch then you have of course they would be questioned about not offering protection to people and also not offering protection to the london public if there's a trail of plenty until ten across the city living in kid died a slow and painful death. caused by the lethal radioactive substance polonium two
6:17 pm
ten the unsolved case has been the 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 guess which however horrible to an accusation that mr lugovoy was responsible is is ludicrous i mean it's all looks very fishy join 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 today 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 move
6:18 pm
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 they've got not in person of course but via video link i have been it r t london. russia has barred several u.s. officials from visiting the country in escalating over the death of louis sergei magnitsky in a moscow prison almost two years ago this comes in response to a similar blacklist of russians by washington from entering the u.s. but need to get died after a year old reminder facing tax evasion charges and his colleagues claimed it was held after his alleged huge fraud against a number of russian or officials to prison doctors face charges in moscow of negligence over his death the u.s. is now refusing to grant users to several russians it's as are connected to the

6:20 pm
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 person and under. all for all the iraqi political leaders are 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 granting them immunity because it had been a long list of crimes that were committed killing iraqi civilians with no accountability for the u.s. intervention and occupation of iraq has been a disaster that is not because. there is nothing in the record it has been a disaster that should not have happened it's a disaster of this destruction and the u.s. has been a part of iraq's problem in the last decade or two decades since the intervention
6:21 pm
started i'm very happy that the u.s. is ending its intervention because i think this will help iraq is move forward with the country and truck. right now more international headlines for you in northern course a very major piskies of try to remove barricades put up by ethnic serbs but how been stalled by hundreds of people concert some sat in front of sixteen roadblocks to prevent foreign troops pushing through the barricades and peacekeepers and local seven leaders afterwards failed to achieve a breakthrough during the talks held later on saturday in the region were built by locals back in july when the ethnic albanian government attempted to take control of the disputed crossing area. saudi arabian t.v. has reported the death of the kingdoms heir to the throne prince sultan bin abdul aziz al so he was eighty five and had been diagnosed with colon cancer in two thousand and four the sultan underwent surgery new york two years ago and has been

6:24 pm
own resident reporter in new york went to the center of the action to ask people what broadband. 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's the problem and i think that's actually a strength that we currently have. as a movement we 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 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
6:25 pm
today's world is the sound bite no one has the potential of a.d.d. world and they need a sound bite are there often that the current dominant paradigm and we're looking to give examples of what alternative paradigms could exist i tried to come here for you for a couple of hours so a lot of people are saying that the message is it unified and that's an issue that the movement is having to its problem communicating but i don't see it is an issue . because do you feel like it's unified i think it is 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 you know why they're here well they're in the alternative do you think that that's
6:26 pm
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 say education and health care some guy over there just said shipping jobs out of the country got through their stuff we're 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 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 and tense but the message is there. political and economic reform the whole of both parties i think we want to party so it seems like everyone here feels like there is a unified message and that is there isn't a unified math there which they feel like is the very strike of the movements. and approaches that are shaking out in the us going to a website aussie dot com way you can find out about these former u.s. marine who stood up to such
