am in the russian capital you're watching r t with me arena joshie today we take a look at the top stories of the week and this week marked the end of colonel gadhafi is grip on libya but the mystery surrounding his death and captivity has sparked international calls for an investigation with the official account that he was killed in a crossfire widely questioned he is now looking to hold elections within eight months but as artie's and now we reports from tripoli there's much citizen over whether things will change posted up the. you know the long. and hard now. and his family and a lot of tales. of foreign involvements and fact that though he was always portrayed as a great dad you also played a lot of footsie and banking with western powers. thanks to. the mario no no no no. no no banner. oh
3:02 am
we came we saw him he died. have a new thing to do with your visit. and t.c. claims he was killed in crossfire but edited video begs to differ shown here clearly wiping blood from his head then clearly dead took a look at the footage shown on t.v. proves that he was captured alive and wounded 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 by the un human rights organization should all push not only for investigation of the death of gadhafi and certainly the lynching of many of the libyan members of the. support. but also the bombings that nato inflicted in libya that destroyed so many of libya's

infrastructure and also so many libyan civilians who died in the who were killed in the. alliance officials claim the mission in libya is coming to him and 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 be. i mean that 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 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
3:04 am
