the day of liberation following the death of colonel gadhafi but the unclear circumstances of the former leader's death have sparked international calls for an investigation with every new piece of video casting a deeper shadow on the show version that he died in crossfire and he said now has the latest from the libyan capital for. 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 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 touch the head wipe some blood away and then there's a time and it seems that he was clearly dead in those later pictures 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
6:02 pm
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 the way gadhafi was killed in these pictures that we saw were perhaps not the best possible way to go to go through with it 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 the convoy was attacked by nato planes and after about the rebels captured members of that convoy it has been repeated numerous times that nato planes are and you 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. actions pose
6:03 pm
a number of questions as well. 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 to soon as possible in the days when you know it 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 to have 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 fight for freedom began it will take place there instead of the top level 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 dow feel oil with the 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
6:04 pm
atlanta asking what's next for libya and they couldn't 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 hour show the world community has begun to think what will we see happening here in the upcoming months and years. and as some in the international community try to get to the bottom of khadafi is death and leaks in the job could very well provide the answer everyone's looking for results for the note we grabbed earlier i had in the streets some players wanted to take him away and that's when i shot of choice in the hitler and in the church to show so this. he has that's right this had been a fighter says he didn't like the idea of taking the colonel alive and he also learned that the cause of death is a blood test a blood it shot and a gold ring on which the name of cadet his second wife cynthia and the date of
6:05 pm
their marriage had been graded for as grace to middle east expert sure ain't so getting it sings the colonel's 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 and his death casts a shadow on many things that casts a shadow on the m.t.c. to cast a shadow on the future of the country could ask 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 trial and specifically ethnic divisions and very strong the russians explain libyans of african descent who have african features and libyans of arabic or fervor to stand as well and even during this war and this started in february and we've started to see those kinds of violent divisions between ethnicities the people of libya up are in the middle of a war right now it's a civil war or it's an international war and people are dying civilians are dying
6:06 pm
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. still ahead this hour double trouble britain faces all collections as it emerges that poisoned by k.g.b. agent xander that franco also had ties with the country's intelligence services. or not to which calls for british membership of the euro skeptics called for a nationwide referendum on leaving the union. that's later but now the occupy wall street movement grows stronger despite a series of arrests and scuffles with police which continue in new york activists accuse the police of heavy handed tactics against people peacefully expressing their opinion. and it has all the details. while the occupy wall street protests continue to spread across the united states here in new york city not only have
6:07 pm
occupy wall street protesters and camps themselves in zuccotti park but here in union square they are now marching against police brutality that is the new focus of the protests in the face of increasing arrests increasingly taliban they say by not only the new york city police department but also police departments across the world now over the weekend approximately nineteen protesters were arrested in downtown orlando in florida one of them was an armed u.s. army soldier and a man in a wheelchair there crime not moving when the police officers told them to move even though they say they were simply trying to stand up for their first amendment freedom of speech rights to call out attention to the corruption both in the wall 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 when protesters are simply they say making their voices heard trying to get politicians to listen
6:08 pm
to them in a country that they say 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 there are they're starting small scale protests in upstate new york it seems like this movement is popping up all across the country faster than authorities know how to handle it one of the interesting facts 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 while 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 a quarter of all world inmates are housed in prisons here in the united states this is one of the biggest issues that's concerning protesters here many of whom like to point out the fact that people on wall street have been arrested or punished for corporate crimes while innocent civilians seem to be jailed for simply speaking
6:09 pm
simply stepping off the curb for example or marching in demonstrations that they say are constitutionally protected here in the legal system of the united states. that was loose accounting of reporting from new york and our correspondents in america of course the ongoing anti corporate demonstrations were there for you and you can. you can actually heard from them heading to ask his twitter stream to get all the latest updates and one of her tweets artie's lisa gastineau says that police have surrounded union square in new york and it seems now that there are more officers than protested. moving on now israel is inspired by american activities have spent 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 on his policy have ports. anger outrage and protest on the streets of new york a throwback to the same scenes different streets around ten thousand kilometers
6:10 pm

6:11 pm
between the protesters just uncanny. the where 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 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 it looks like the focal point of social change in the revolutionizing its role of attaining the payment made with bikers and the social demands are still waiting to be made like many american is rabies because money is watching the u.s. readies closely and says they are an inspiration to many in israel he's proud people are taking a stand against corruption and greed the protest the struggle and the anger is in the people still and the struggle for going to go on a view that more and more people around the globe seem to share police fear r.t.

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 pledge douglas kos will say there's no economic benefit for 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 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 joined 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 years for 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 corpse you know the economic rationale for being in the european union i think is largely gone we want
6:14 pm
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 it died of radiation poisoning in london he's either banished reports now 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 critic of the british for me nobody really expected me at the pre inquest hearing
6:15 pm
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 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 in order when years and there were 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 equal but he worked for britain's intelligence and not just as a consultant she had no other choice she realised if i get involved in the inquest this will be revealed 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 brush embarrassment 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 asked questions about not offering protection to people and also not offering protection to the london public you know . as this trial playing 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 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
6:17 pm
a death which however horrible to an accusation that mr lugovoy was responsible 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 did find a contaminated teapot but the link from that to lose of oil 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

6:19 pm
troops to leave by the end of the year about thirty nine thousand american troops will leave the country after more than eighty is an area that has cost u.s. taxpayers over eight hundred billion dollars almost four hundred four thousand five hundred u.s. soldiers have died during that service in the iraq war as a blogger and iraq american political activist things 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 iraqis in general have been waiting for this day in 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 doubt 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 the state department all for
6:20 pm
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 there have been a long list of crimes that were committed killing iraqi civilians with no accountability the u.s. intervention and occupation of iraq has been a disaster that has not been the case there is nothing to look back at it has been a disaster that should not have happened it's a disaster of death and destruction and the u.s. has been a bottle of iraq's problem in the last decade or two decades since the intervention started very happy that the u.s. is ending its intervention because i think this will help iraqis move forward and put the country in that i. and right now more international headlines for you in northern cost of a nato peacekeepers are trying to remove barricades guitar by ethnic serbs but how

6:24 pm
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 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 is it i mean today's world is the sound bite no one has tension at the a.d.d. world and they need a sound bite or they're off of that 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 balls so
6:25 pm
a lot of people are saying that the message is it unified and that's an issue that the movement is having its problem communicating but i don't see it as an issue. because you feel like it's a 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 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 profiling theme to it everybody's dissent. franchised you're saying education and health care some guy over there just said shipping jobs out of the country through their stuff with part of it i mean there's not one thing i just said it's not just one thing and there's
6:26 pm
a bunch of different reasons other border to i mean i agree with the fact that they're shipping jobs of the country we don't need any more so how would you sum it up in one clears that tends what the message is here. a little going to 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 message which they feel like is the very strike of the movements. and approaches that are shaking out of the u.s. going to a website called way you can find out about these former u.s. marine who stood up to such a policeman to become an international spokes person for the occupy wall street movement that and more call for you. are russian soyuz rocket scientists sold from a french space base in the tropics carrying the use fast satellites navigation
