highlighting the week's top headlines here on r.t. this is the weekly with me rory stewart show 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 and with the official account that he was killed in a crossfire being widely question libya is now looking to hold elections within eight months. and now reports from tripoli there is much cynicism over whether things will actually change post. council long ago with handshakes and hot now it's his head and feet and his family and a lot of. foreign involvements and fact that he was always going to trade is
6:02 am
a great goal you also played a lot of food. with western powers. graphic gruesome footage of exactly when why well as news of his death spread after months of being number one nato it must end with a banner humanitarian mission. we came we saw the guy. i'm going to do with. libya's and claims he was killed in crossfire but i didn't video begs to differ so you're clearly wiping one from his head then nearly dead it's a political and we can see through the footage shown on t.v. proves that he was captured alive and wounded and also that he was killed. so the pressure is growing for an investigation find out if it down from the guy as clinton put it or was executed the u.n. human rights organization should all push not only for investigation.
6:03 am
and certainly the lynching where many of the libyan members of the. that supported gadhafi but also the bombings that inflicted in libya that destroyed so many of libya's infrastructure and also so many libyan civilians who died who were killed in those three alliance officials claim the mission in libya is coming from we meant 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. it's brought parts of libya back to the stone age some say the race for the country's oil has gone 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
6:04 am
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 all these these different groups and we were held together by one thing and that was the. way you can really direct their anger and ensure their need to get paid on this and susan political instability there's a lot of people looking back on libya. and we're changing we're back now and that is not a great celebrations continue throughout the week running the country and it seems few people here are really thinking about the future 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 r.t.

you are revolution leader of the global south you and i mean when you nationalize you or when you redistribute your wealth when you when you build your country up to be the country with the highest livingstone's in africa inevitably those forces which are up against that development internally and internationally will pose you and so these rebel factions have always been in alliance with the european powers against gadhafi this change in the last six or seven years where libya had a real personal with the west and also in the reform program see all these rebel factions all of them were receiving money from gadhafi in the reform process in the last six seven years and no one dares say anything that isn't pro nato pro-rebel if you criticize at all the nato let alone show sympathy with gadhafi you will be you will be threatened with imprisonment or worse so this is a civil war inspired by nato that we can say about and everyone is supporting what's happened. it what you know weekly here on our team now it's a race against time the e.u.

leaders who are trying to save the euro gathered for a new round of marathon crisis talks in brussels the leaders are still trying to work out a comprehensive plan to try and resolve the eurozone debt crisis they're expected to tell banks they have to accept the greek debt will never be paid in full and so need to raise capital to deal with the losses earlier leaders said that a comprehensive plan will be announced on wednesday when they gather for another summit but economic analyst and author michael moore believes it's already too late for the eurozone. tourney is sinking and the orchestra is still playing this is the situation that we have at the moment it's a politician's fall and the euro is the result of politicians it's a political will you will to create this common currency but the fact is if you divorce construct it was clear right from the. beginning now we are no miss everybody saw it coming it is very very difficult at the moment to solve this
6:08 am
problem in my opinion you can only divide the year all the northern countries and the southern countries and you create a kind of northern europe but this is not your course who once was a once a power having the year all means having power and i don't want to lose the power so all we will go all into this boat you cannot solve a debt crisis by producing more debt at the end everybody will be drowning everybody will go under and there is i see coming in one or two years here in the eurozone. in greece this week it felt like europe is already descending into chaos violent clashes broke out in athens as parliament was voting on a new set of austerity measures and even tougher pay cuts and tax hikes were necessary to secure the next installment of bailout cash from the e.u. however the level of unrest show the public is out point sara further reports from that week. crisis and become a regular occurrence theory behind the fight since things describing public anger

6:13 am
compared to nature led peacekeeping force in kosovo ok for the fascist occupiers of the past they will then why do they think they can come and take our land serbia's our home we don't want to live in albania hollywood are going to look out they aren't there we have nothing but flag and free their god some two hundred meters away they took a four soldiers keep watching i would put between solution my dog plain 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 fall back on my old needs. be no surprise the generals only means a military once the status quo in northern kosovo remains the standoff between k. four soldiers and local serbs of millions is no closer to resolution people from both sides of the barricades

a glide to avoid any further violence away from media hostility is common place this twenty three year old syrian man who was with his father when he was shot just three weeks ago visiting an old ben and bill which includes his south western observe minority living in time and place i was waiting for him in a car and i saw him coming out of the albini and cafeteria. gunshots and my dad fall down. but i was worried gile immediately i didn't even say goodbye to him. w. bush shows us his wounds he was shocked when his father's killer is try. eliminate the only witness. i will never return to the employees they'll choose something i'm worrying about my family and myself in a separate incident just last week in under an arm syria was killed in a cold front with a local these two men together with their friend mir drug they follow the beach family went to see what used to be served land now owned by ethnic albanians since
6:15 am
serbs fled after nature's nine hundred ninety nine bombing of yugoslavia they were stopped by the new occupier we talked for five minutes he said he needed to come back to his car to take console from ok mark instead with a kalashnikov do you want your land back he shouted and started firing at onst drug was killed at the scene the man who just lost their france they there is only one reason he was killed. 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 change refinished r t. for another quarter past the hour here and with our three three hailed as a historic middle east prisoner exchange over
6:16 am
a thousand palestinians being swapped for just one israeli soldier gilad schalit was freed following five years in captivity at a massive campaign for his release as well but it's homecoming birth and many jewish families are rather better as it is possibly about. every day comes here to a place that looks after israeli soldiers who are alone in the country who come from difficult backgrounds being here is often more of a comfort to him and the youngsters he hopes because it brings him and that little bit closer to his son mashi who disappeared one year before gilad shalit was taken hostage we are modern oh my have sub this over and over again the government and the country are not doing enough for my lady. gave to the saudi family there are at the moment seven israeli soldiers who've been kidnapped or who missing in action as newsstand majesty disappeared while hitchhiking to his army base major one of our it was captured twenty five years ago after his aircraft was shot down
6:17 am
over eleven on these are the last pictures of him alive taken in a prison in iran guy have it disappeared fourteen years ago he was last seen at his army base one kilometer from the syrian border. it's infuriating it's an acceptable that after fourteen years the government still has nothing to tell us our demand is that the government bring us any information alive dead here in lebanon and syria just bring it but they've brought us nothing. social her son is still alive and while she's pleased to gloat 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 p.r. how do you answer we succeeded in marketing their son we saw it as a family this was a growl of we thought it was enough the guy was an i.d.f. soldier in uniform but we were wrong very very wrong.
6:18 am
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 deported back home that's what the hard things i'll be freed. actually campaigning for nearly two years three million still to come here in front of the prime minister's office every morning when the time they are left his home he was reminded about the soldier not to take his. i'm not embarrassed to sue the government and the country are not doing enough for my son and the rest of those missing in action it is important for us to bring our soldiers home experience from son their sons to war we need to know that the country will do everything possible to get them back or it's done just that in the case of gilad shalit but what cost will militants now be empowered to kidnap another israeli soldier and will israel be willing to pay this price again policy
6:19 am
r.t. . and it's not only those who wish feel the about media attention gilad schalit received was unfair israel might have decided to release a thousand palestinian prisoners but many more remain in jails and nobody seems to care about this according to what. i think of political science at a university in gaza. the international community as well as these were in the media was very busy over the past five years bringing the issue of these very to soldier gilad shalit to the attention of the. world community all the time but it hasn't been said much about the palestinian prisoners even though the palestinian authority and the palestinian resistance to groups have tried all the time to bring the usual crowd lost in prisoners to the attention of the woods community and many international conferences many press conferences have been held over the past years
6:20 am
to bring this issue to the attention of the world community but unfortunately the israeli media and supporters of israel all over the world and were much stronger in bringing the issue of gilad shalit more than bringing the issue of more than seven thousand palestinian prisoners who were some of them have been held for decades inside israeli jails and prisons. for more in-depth coverage and exclusive footage or sometimes well website on t.v. dot com some the items are waiting for them right now for example iraq's refusal to grant u.s. soldiers an extended stay with diplomatic immunity means the tree i think the founders details online. and the heart of loss go eliminated in a grandiose and laser check out a spectacular video or thought come also or you can find all this at all if you keep trying. earlier this week around five hundred people
