the ration 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 consing a deeper shadow on the official version that he died in crossfire his body is currently being kept in the train of room in a shopping center in misrata one of the hotspots of the revolution to oust him hundreds of libyans have been queuing for photo opportunities with the united body the failure to carry out a burial within twenty four hours is a blatant mention of islamic law the interim government says it may hunt they kooks of. took a death case of family and the sonali husband has from the even 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 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
11:02 pm
dead or alive very unclear at first in the first couple of shots that he did 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 the later which is the same thing with one of his songs 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 we've been very critical about nato mission here in libya 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. the footage shown on t.v. proves that he was captured alive and wounded and after that he was killed you.
11:03 pm
there were reports that a convoy carrying the kano was attacked by nato planes and after that the rebels captured members of that convoy has been repeated numerous times that nato planes are in the have a un mandate to ensure a no fly zone over libya and the convoy wasn't producing 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 is of course how this mission began back in march the u.n. looking into when it will officially and pushing for that mission to end this soon as possible in the days when you know it is october thirty first but it has to be said officially the nato mission 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
11:04 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 n.g.c. troops and you don't feel loyal 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 look like asking what's next for they'd be oh they 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. as some in the international community try to get to the bottom of his death a leaked video could very well provide a oh say everyone sort of thing for this sort of slow you know we grabbed it i hit him in the face some fighters wanted to take him away. my shot of choice in the
11:05 pm
hitler in the truest joke so this libyan fighters says he didn't mind the idea of taking become an ally hell so long to what he calls his blood a church earned a gold ring in which the name of his second wife cynthia and the date of their marriage have been engraved as well as based a middle east expert sherry in sedating says they 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 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 our feet 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 relations between the libyans of african descent who have african features and libyans of arabic or wherever it is that as well and even during this war and this started in
11:06 pm
every 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 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. this is c.n.n. still ahead for you this hour double trouble reaching the faces also questions as it emerges that poisoned paul that k.g.b. agent alexander litvinenko also had ties with the country's intelligence services. to quit or not to quit calls for a vote on british membership on the u. euro skeptics called for a nationwide referendum on leaving the union. movement grows stronger despite a series of arrests and scuffles with police which continue new york with the qs
11:07 pm
the police of heavy handed tactics against people peacefully expressing their opinion on this account and it has all the details. well the occupy wall street protests continue to spread across the united states here in new york city and not only have 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 their 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 wall street and in washington now one of the biggest issues of the occupy wall street
11:08 pm
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 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 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 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
11:09 pm
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 of the united states that are reporting there from new york our correspondents in america calls the ongoing anti corporate demonstrations there for you and you can have the artes twitter stream to get all the latest updates and one of her tweets at least a couple of says that police have surrounded union square in new york and it seems now that there are more officers that are part of. israel is inspired by american activists 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. here reports.
11:10 pm
anger outrage and protests on the streets of new york a throwback to the same scenes different streets around ten thousand kilometers away. in the you know. exaggerated in the same way as the. far been taking for granted the citizens occupy wall street it wasn't that long ago israelis were calling to occupy boulevard i mean in a bid joined approaches from the beginning she was inspired by what happened in cairo and caught her tain't tapio corner car but here people were saving and were praying every evening and people are planning on going through hours as you know watches even some food in far away new york she misses the six weeks she lived here and wishes she could be part of the wall street rallies are the birthright of i remember the great. family holds the protests in new york have strong
11:11 pm
parallels with those in israel in how they came a belt and why the similarity between the protesters just on kennie. 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 around 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 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 the protest the struggle and the anger is in the people still and the struggle for going to go on
11:12 pm
a view that more and more people around the globe seem to share policy r.t. tel aviv. and ahead this hour the passion behind the protest. little got our government reform to hold both parties i think we want to part of. new york resident laurie humphries finds out or humanize thousands of people taking part in the occupy wall street movement. but now finance ministers from all twenty seven european union states a meeting in brussels for more talks on the east spiraling economic crisis which threatens to turn global your remains split of a solution for greece's debt disaster and bailout with ministers saying banks should raise more than one hundred billion euros a new capital and write off some of the country's debt in a while british the euro skeptics are pushing for the right to vote on a referendum for the country to leave the european union the people's pledge campaign believes the younger minds the u.k. sovereignty and the calls for the country are simply too high the london conference
11:13 pm
by the group demands for a nationwide referendum with the issue to be discussed in westminster on monday so it's person for the people's pledge. the shoals and leaders have neglected the opinions of the people making bad decisions throughout the history of the union. the truth is that we joined the e.u. all the e.c. is it was way back in one nine hundred seventy three when it was a very different animal and since then have been all these treaties as with the single european act the maastricht treaty the amsterdam treaty nice treaty in the lisbon treaty and they've gone it's gone from being basically a trading area with aspirations to something very close to a political union when we do surveys as to whether people will actual people there you know that is behind me and in front of me or in the hall today whether they want a referendum on e.u. membership they say yes or no i'm afraid to say that so most of the politicians here who also move us about actually letting the people have their say i mean the the truth is that i think seemly and western democracies including the old european
11:14 pm
democracies people want one thing and the down the politicians say mother was very interesting that even when there are all referenda in the e.u. there was one on the constitution floor in france and there's one in the constitution in ireland and one in the netherlands and they voted no we don't want this but what happened the politicians bottom line regardless so as far as i'm concerned you know it is the people who should be allowed to have the say and we must get these messages across so the politicians this time they listen to the people as an inquest into the death of former russian agent are going to turn around and by the u.k. his way to admit he was working for british intelligence that all stretching investigation was launched five years ago when the died of radiation poisoning in london he's either bennett's 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 the day lugovoy hasn't left russia since two thousand and six
11:15 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. 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 but this girl won't look at boys lawyers last week echoed calls from 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. my lawyers and i put ourselves food as an interested party so live in yonkers we don't often was forced to admit her husband was a paid agent of m i five and m i six o'clock that he worked for britain's
11:16 pm
intelligence and not just as a consultant she had no other choice she realised you might get involved in the inquest this will be revealed anyway because i know a few facts that will force a british court to ask m i five an m i six a few questions. until now marina late been 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 in paris with a carpet and 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 if course they would be questioned about not offering protection to people and also not offering protection to the london public. as the traveling into ten left across the city living in kid died
11:17 pm
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 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 live in yankee met lugovoy for breakfast here but they he fell ill and that's when he's alleged to have been poisoned forensics did find
11:18 pm
a contaminated teapot but the link from that to luna boy 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 have been it r t london. well she has several u.s. officials from visiting the country in an escalating over the death of laura sergei magnitsky in a moscow prison almost two years ago this comes in response to a similar blacklist of russians banned by washington from entering the u.s. but nice kid died after a year on remand facing talks of asian chargers his colleagues claimed he was held up ahead alleged a huge fold against 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 pieces to several russians it says are connected to the
11:19 pm
case moscow says the americans it has a blacklist there's this time today are suspected of crimes against russian citizens in the e.u. us including kidnapping and torture russia has also wounded from a extensive list which has not been publicly released unless washington drops its. president barack obama announced and. announced the end to american military deployment in iraq ordering all troops to leave by the end of the yet about thirty thousand american troops will leave the country after more than eighty is an error that has cost us taxpayers over eight hundred billion dollars almost four thousand five hundred u.s. soldiers have died during that service in the iraq who also and iraq american political activists raid sure are things you are supposed to step forward for both countries but it doesn't mean america's influence in the region will end. this is 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
11:20 pm
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 all the iraqi political leaders of 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 that 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 part of iraq's problem in the decade or two decades since the intervention
11:21 pm
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 truck. someone international headlines for you this hour in northern kosovo nato peacekeepers tried to remove a town by ethnic but have been stopped by hundreds of people or so sub-saharan front of sixteen road blocks to prevent foreign troops pushing through the barricades western peacekeepers and local seven leaders afterwards failed to achieve a breakthrough during talks held late on saturday as in the region were billed by a local sabs back in july when the ethnic albanian government attempted to take control of the disputed crossing area. military has reported at least forty nine deaths among kurdish rebels after and ground offensives in the southeast of the country operations against these separate is were launched on wednesday and reportedly involved ten thousand troops they began as

11:24 pm
a month into the occupy wall street movement is there a unified method 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 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 isn't i mean today's world is the sound bite no one has the 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
11:25 pm
to give examples of what alternative paradigms could exist i tried to come in for a couple of hours so a lot of people are saying that the message isn't unified and that's an issue that the movement is having its problem communicating but i don't see it as an issue. because do 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 in 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. franchise with so you're saying
11:26 pm
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 like i said it's not just one thing and there's a bunch of different reasons other part of that too i mean i agree with the fact that they're shipping jobs of the country we don't need anymore so how would you sum it up in one clear sentence what the message is here. 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 strength of the movements. and approaches to the shaking of the u.s. going to a website that. people find out about a former u.s. marine who stood up to thirty policemen to become an intentional spokesperson for the occupy wall street movement that a lot smaller. legendarily
