2:01 am
it is ten am in the russian capital you're watching our marina joshie today we take a look at the week's top stories and this week marked the end of colonel gadhafi as grip on libya but the mystery surrounding his death in captivity has sparked international calls for an investigation with the official account that he was killed in a crossfire widely questioned the b. is now looking to hold elections within eight months but as artie's and he's now reports from tripoli there is much cynicism over whether things will change post gadhafi. not so long ago with handshakes and hugs now it's his head. and his family and a lot of tales to tell about just foreign involvements and fact that though he was always portrayed as a great guy who you also played a lot of footsie and panky with western powers. graphic gruesome footage of gadhafi went viral as news of his death spread after months of being number one nato hit list under the banner humanitarian mission oh we came we saw
2:02 am
he died. have anything to do with your visit. libya's and t.c. claims he was killed in crossfire but edited video begs to differ that show here clearly wiping blunt from his head then clearly dead look at those movies of the footage shown on t.v. proves that he was captured alive and well indeed and after that he was killed. so the pressure is growing for an investigation for find out if gadhafi died as clinton put it or was executed the u.n. human rights organization should all push not only for investigation of the death of gadhafi and certainly the. many other libyan members of the. that supported. but also the bombings that they thought inflicted in libya that
2:03 am
destroyed so many of the b. as infrastructure and also so many libyan civilians who died in the u.s. who were killed in the. alliance officials claim the mission in libya is coming to remand the no fly zone will be reviewed at the u.n. security council but many believe this is only the end of gadhafi and the beginning of a new era of crisis libya is in for a period of horrendous chaos after the nato by. i mean the it's brought parts of libya back to the stone age some say the race for the country's oil has kicked off france is already demanding thirty five percent of libya's gross national gross oil production and i suspect that the people of libya will be furious and outraged that they are paying france for having bought the infrastructure having destroyed the schools the hospitals the the water supply and a country united in hatred for gadhafi might not stand together now that he's gone
2:04 am
all these these different groups who were held together but one thing and that was a group of coffee that's gone away you can redirect their anger at each other and i think. chaos ensues and political instability there's a lot of people looking back on libya. and. where now and that is not a great celebrations continued throughout the week cross the country and it seems few people here are really thinking about the future going to libya without gadhafi it really means for them a country with no leader a lot of weapons and even more oil reporting from tripoli and he's now a party. also follow our correspondent in the viennese now we switch our stream is bringing you the latest developments from the country so take a look at. the u.s. greeted the death of gadhafi with jubilation president barack obama calling it
2:05 am
a strong reminder of america's leadership in the world british m.p. jeremy corbyn says he believes colonel gadhafi should have sued trial. there is this footage of him apparently in the back of a truck in the town surrounded by a very angry mob but the assumption that this is that he was killed by the small sometime shortly after that he should treat it as a prisoner. interview contrary going to be brought in and if you close is really taking the place of the look for he was indeed killed in the back of a truck and this really does raise some questions should become. the t.n.c. forces and what libya is going to be like not just tomorrow but next month next year and in the next ten years because clearly there is a need for a stable government in libya there is a need for a democratic government in libya there's need for an investigation into human rights to for good reason to use this in the past but there's an awful lot of an
2:06 am
awful lot of irregular forces out there otherwise the alternative is some ghastly descent into war with all the many armaments that there are there already in libya . greece remains the epicenter of the eurozone debt crisis this week and the descent of the stairs the measures was voted in by parliament all but securing the next installment of be a while cash from the e.u. however the resulting violent protests math and sam beyond show the public is at breaking point artists are first is in the greek capital. protests that become a regular occurrence very very high in these fights the same it's growing public anger that is of us there is a lot that means that the people here in the country that's been cut so that wages by around thirty percent in most cases on top of that cuts like the pension cuts the public spending unemployment here in the country is cripplingly farai we see in
2:07 am
the emergence of a new generation of these messes really these things have affected everyone here ingrate. i've been. here almost up to that good. and i asked you are you gonna come up oh sorry five one of the nice one of the people who want to fight peacefully because we want our lives conned by. the young and the o. s. people from week life to institute a pay test and largest police a scene since the crisis began one of the nice violent sweet footprints very far it's it wasn't to be thank you once again boiling eva with fights breaking out not just with the police but in the us the pay test is in cells the greek society is facing a social disaster for the past two years we've received austerity package after
2:08 am
austerity package people are beyond third breaking point they cannot stand it anymore. it's not just the phrase has it isn't enough. they did they cost the government this is did it plays out of position and the saying he thinks that in asia business struggling with the clintons he's not the only one speaking to police major after the protests at the start of the month tell me it's the pressure teeth of the riot police involved in these events you know. it is very hard to describe the feelings of the policeman because there are two a social and a professional group who are suffering by the economic measures to the government has to take me sometimes it is really hard for them to take part in these protests as a working people but once more they had to take to the streets to protest that pay test is that even though they still wanted to make their point peacefully the rest of europe and the i think it's going to be watching this very closely because this isn't just a problem that affects greece it is
2:09 am
a situation that affects the entire year and so you can see what the people in the country right now willing to give a friend to have. at that point. the people here again have to wait a while long that see if they will and now it's be ready to listen. to me. marathon negotiations in brussels or try to solve the eurozone debt crisis a year leaders said the banks have to raise more than one hundred billion euros to withstand possible losses to and data countries such as greece but any idea they come up was to help the euro zone or athens will be obsolete says financial analyst patrick. i think we're actually coming close to the end because ultimately the greek economy is in such a mess there's simply nothing can be done i mean what we're trying to do here is jake the world's most obese person to give them a crash diet so they're going to turn into i don't know cindy crawford by the end
2:10 am
of next year i mean it's simply impossible you can't do that the greek railways for example i mean the salary bill something like a hundred million euros the total amount of income is like one hundred million euros. it costs about seven hundred million euros i believe to run the railway system you come up possibly manage to change those numbers in such a short period of time the simple truth is greece has too much debt no matter of belt tightening is going to change it knowing what's going to happen news we're going to have to take what we call in banking terms that haircut on the debt and ultimately it's not going to be cutting of the hair a lot of people are going to be left somewhat bald. so i have for you this hour here in our t.v. triumphant return. to let me play is really not embarrassed to see the government on their country for not doing enough for my son for the rest of those years i don't archon israeli soldier gilad shalit comes home after being strange for a thousand palestinian prisoners maybe some families too few of their lost children

2:12 am
the past they will then why do they think that they can come and take our land serbia's our home we don't want to live in albania so look how they aren't there we have nothing but flag and think their god some two hundred meters away they took a four soldiers keep watching i would be sweet solution by taught by an agreement which i did all is in the last week but if that is not to be reached i have to be on my own i have to do fall back on my old needs. some of them are. going to be no surprise the generals only means a military once the status quo northern course of a remains the standoff between k. four soldiers and local serbs are real is no closer to resolution but people from both sides of the barricades glad to avoid any further violence but away from media glare hostility is common place this twenty three year old syrian man who was with
2:13 am
his father when he was shot just three weeks ago visiting an old ben village in courses south where serbs a minority living in tiny and claves i was waiting for him in a car i saw him coming out of the albini and cafeteria when i heard two gunshots and my dad fall down i wanted to him but i was worried he died immediately i didn't even say goodbye to him. nobody voice shows us his wounds he was shocked when his father's killers try. to eliminate the only witness i will never return to the place. i'm worrying about my family and myself in a separate incident just last week another unarmed serb was killed in a confrontation with a local these two men together with their friend mere drug they follow the big family went to see what used to be served land now owned by ethnic albanians since serbs fled after nature's nine hundred ninety nine bombing of yugoslavia they were
2:14 am
stopped by the new york hire we talked for five minutes then he said he needed to come back to his car to take his son from but came back instead with a kalashnikov do you want your mum barky shouted and started farming us on drug was killed at the scene the man who just lost their friends they there is only one reason he was killed but just because we are serbs periods eleven years after the end of major conflict here and despite the presence of international peacekeepers violence seems to be still part of everyday life for some in this troubled breakaway province and there is little sign that's like to change or if nationality courser. ok for troops resorted to tear gas and pepper spray to disperse the crowd serves as the blockade in northern ca civil servant political analyst alexander pavitra claims concessions to broker
2:15 am
a peaceful solution were made by foreign peacekeepers still attacked. they're not going to stop now that's for sure it's just a matter of who will be more stubborn the serbs for defending their own land or the nato forces sent here from who knows where the serbs have tried to negotiate there even though they've even tried to give concessions in the sense that they're willing to let supply convoys pass and supplies the nato troops what they're not willing to do is allow albanian so-called customs officials from taking the border between call civil war and the rest of serbia and this is something that they're not going to back away from so this is why we can expect more conflict because obviously nato is acting as the infantry of. the government in prishtina there isn't going to be any membership that's the biggest issue of all i mean it's does anyone think it's realistic for a place like also to be part of i mean two thirds of the heroin coming from
2:16 am
understanding to europe those two possible it's a place with the highest crime rate probably in the world you know the capital of arms human smuggling human organ smuggling and trafficking this place would never get into the e.u. and the e.u. obviously has no plans of including serbia there either so you know this is just a game it's just the membership is just being used as a means of it for extracting concessions from belgrade and of giving the albanians normal average albanians the illusion that they're actually going to get something down the road when it when it would be much easier for them to just come to peace with their serbian neighbors. now it's been hailed as a story of middle east prisoner exchange with over a thousand palestinians being swapped for just one israeli soldier gilad shalit was freed following five years in captivity and a massive campaign for his release in israel but his home coming is left many jewish families bitter spotlessly are now. every day.
2:17 am

2:18 am
years the government still has nothing to tell us our demand is that the government bring us any information is a live dead here in lebanon and syria just bring it with they've brought us nothing . so certain her son is still alive and while she's pleased gilad is coming home she's disillusioned in a government that made it possible for him but not for her son. it's about media attention b.r. how do lots nearly succeeded in marketing their son we saw it as a family this was a gross we thought it was enough the guy was an i.d.f. soldier in uniform but we were wrong very very wrong. this is a country that depends on its army for its survival is an unwritten code that every soldier who goes to war must be brought back home that's what the heart of the
