highlighting the week's top headlines here in r.t. this is the weekly with me warry some shy libyan authorities have confirmed colonel gadhafi died with a bullet wound to the head the ousted dictator was shot near his hometown of reportedly in a crossfire this week but video footage suggesting he was killed in captivity has led to international calls for an investigation even so libya is planning elections within the next eight months but is asking is there any sonali reports from tripoli there is much cynicism but the change will come. not so long ago with handshakes and heart now it's ok for his family and

a lot of. foreign involvements and the fact that he was always portrayed as a great guy who also played a lot of banking with the west. graphic gruesome footage of get back he went viral as news of his death spread after months of being number one nato hit list under the banner humanitarian mission. we came we saw he died. and think claims he was killed in crossfire but i didn't really you know begs to differ so clearly wiping one from his head then clearly dead took a look at the movies and to 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 for find out if he's down from died as clinton put it or was executed the un human rights organization should all push not

only for investigation. and certainly. many of the libyan members of the. support. but also the bombings that they've inflicted in libya that destroyed so many of libya's infrastructure and also so many libyans civilians who died in the u.s. who were killed in the. alliance officials claim the mission in libya is coming to women 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 by. 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 water supply and if one tree united in hatred for gadhafi might not stand together now that he's gone all these these different groups that we were held together with one thing that was a feat and now that's gone away you can redirect their anger into other. things chaos ensues and political instability there's a lot of people looking back on libya. and changing her now and that is not a great celebrations continue throughout the week on crossing the country and it seems few people here are really thinking about the future of libya without gadhafi it really means for them a country with no leader

a lot of what bends and even more oil reporting from tripoli and he's now a r.c. . now you can actually follow our correspondent in libya his water and he's saying right now on twitter have a look at your screen here libya is preparing to declare its liberation later today with people celebrating after his death all across the country where they have guns for the gaieties on gains for the kids that many children are ready to make and when the war toys nato says it will stop its bombing campaign by halloween but libyans already dressing up like a former dictator as you can see here on the screen i do follow in eastern our way twitter page. well a u.s. president barack obama called the death of gadhafi a powerful reminder of america's leadership in the world but journalists and activists to come to china and says the late libyan leader did not die a victim. what happened to gadhafi is what gadhafi wants to gadhafi is animal which

wants to fight in the trenches against neo colonialism and against nato when you are revolution leader of the global south you in court and when you nationalize the oil 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 against that development internally and internationally will oppose you and so these rebel factions have always been in alliance with the european powers against gadhafi this changed in the last six or seven years when libya had a reporter not 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 way it's all let alone show sympathy we're gadhafi and 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. he is coming to you live from moscow with the weekly and it was

a race against time for the e.u. leaders to try and save the euro but they've 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 that they have to accept greek debt will never be paid in full and so need to raise capital to deal with the losses earlier leaders of a comprehensive plan will be announced on wednesday when they gather for another summit but economic analyst and author michael gross believes it's already too late for the euro zone. turning is sinking and the orchestra is still playing this is a situation that we have at the moment it's a politician's fault the euro is the result of politicians it's a political will you will to create this common currency but the fact you did it was ill constructed. it was clear right from the beginning now we are in

a mess and everybody saw it coming it is very very difficult at the moment to solve this problem in my opinion you can only divide the euro to the northern countries and the southern countries and you create a kind of northern europe but this is not work or school once who wants a power having the euro means having power and i don't want to lose the power so all we will go all into this boat you cannot solve the debt crisis by producing more debt at the end everybody will be drowning everybody will go under until i see coming in one or two years here in the eurozone. and greece this week it felt like europe was already descending into chaos violent clashes broke out in athens as parliament was voting on yet a new set of austerity measures the even tough pay cuts and tax hikes were necessary to secure the next installment of bailout cash from the e.u. however the level of on grass to show the public is at a breaking point sarah ferguson the great couple. process to become

a regular occurrence here in creating the behind these types of things the growing public angry because of their say what that means to the people here in the country has been cut from their wages by around fifty percent in my stay stay on top of that fight cantons the public spending unemployment here in the country is cripplingly high within the americans of a new generation of homeless these masses really these things have affected everyone here in going. after this. that could have. just. come up close sun five one of the nice one of the people who will fight peacefully because we want our lives. the young and the o's and people from all walks of quique life joins the today

protest the largest squeeze to seen since the crisis began one and they say violent true footprints very far it's it wasn't just the thank you once again pulling a fire with fights breaking out not just with the police but amongst the protesters themselves greek society is facing a social disaster for the past two years we've received austerity package after austerity package people are beyond third breaking point they cannot stand it anymore and it's not just a phrase has is with an appetite to change the debate was passed on top government officials did applies in a position meant to saying he think for the nation business struggling with his conscience he's not the only one speaking to police major after the protests at the start of them and tell me if the pressure teeth of the riot police involved in these events you know this. it is very hard to describe the feeling. of the police

because there are two ways social and professional group who are suffering greatly comic-con as a result of the government has to take 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 playtest. days he wanted to make their point peacefully they're arrested yet in the area they need to be watching this very closely because this is a problem that affects great. thank you you can't want to. think. that. the people here again wait long to see if anyone from now it's be ready to listen. to the. minutes past the hour here in moscow still ahead for you to come on the program a triumphant return. i'm not embarrassed to see the government of the country and i'm doing enough for my son and for them the rest of those missing

in action israeli soldier gilad schalit comes home after being exchanged for a thousand palestinian prisoners and leaving some families to feel that their children their lost children have been. with r.t. the first country caught up in the wave of arab spring uprisings is now going to the polls voters are queued up to elect a new parliament replacing a long time ruler ben ali stepped down nine months ago after mass arrest millions of people are expected to turn out intent on having a say in their political future but let's see how much their vote counts i can i speak to a political analyst. life for us in tunis thank you for coming on the program today so nine months since the uprising what's changed for the people in tennessee how they achieved all of their goals. yes indeed i can assure you that we changed every most of what we were expecting. as

a matter of fact the. psyche made up three independent as this is. the first one is to watch for b b the corruption and fighting the second world for was to set up a free. election and it's going to be the third one is due to watch for the goals achieved from this revolution i guess according to what they have seen today from those polling stations i guess we achieved most of what we had expected after this so you're saying that quite a lot of them a lot of economists. have been made i do apologize for interrupting you three main goals as you said to fight corruption to have a free and transparent election to watch for future goals but one one minus one mind boggling aspect is that a registered to vote as these elections are the first in recent history they've

really not they're faced with choosing from a hundred parties upwards of ten thousand candidates if not perhaps too much choice to put up a produce an effective government. we cannot we cannot eliminate any any at any parties this is the freedom now we have you know after the twenty three of corruption through three years of corruption. none people know we are in a freeze to have large parties that we are expecting to be represented in the national. committee. so you know you see there are a lot of emotion that it can ensure a natural issue as you say but who are who are the candidates coming to power are we talking is the islamist extremists those who are fighting for democracy who are these people. fighting for democracy people who are going to this elective

committee are fighting for democracy we are not going to work. if you look at the. puzzle of the tunisian parties when. we look at the how it is done we are going to have multiple. attendance multiple most. beans in this. nation so it's a very. mature e-mails not going to have a lot people who are going to be ultimately voted into parliament but let me ask you this if i may can you see it marked the start of the arab spring but it's largely been overshadowed by the events in your neighbor libya and syria why has this seemingly successful transition gone through so quietly. so quickly because that you know if you look at the judicial society it's a homogeneous society in the tribes given that those. divisions that's

what make the transition smoove those issues with. rocky if we can see rocky movement. let's if we can take a broader scope here let's talk about some other countries are the arab spring has swept through how people are celebrating the end of more market after you got the national transitional council faces a series of hurdles before bringing the democratic reform promised just how much change can people in libya for example expect their. they are going to be the last of the oldest regime be they have to do with it and i think we have to go through the steps that relate. i guess that's the best the best of them at least we are leaving out tunisia experience is the best way to go through that. to move democracy all right

a. lot for us in tunis many thanks for coming on the program today. thank you very much more like. you with r.t. now nato led forces in kosovo have failed to remove barricades put up by ethnic serbs of a disputed border crossing serbs set up the roadblocks back in july when cause of our authorities began to install their own customs controls or if a national has the story. as months of tension between serbs nicole bennett coursers continue roads in northern course though remain closed for some serbs are fortifying their barricades and see themselves again as victims of history these cartoon reads and if it is your granddad we defeated your father's will win again local serbs compare the nature led peacekeeping force in kosovo ok for the fascist occupiers of the past they all 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

how they aren't we have nothing but flag and free from god some two hundred meters away they took a four soldiers keep watching i would be sweet solution my thoughts plain agreement but i did all this 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 own needs. no surprise the generals only means a military once the status quo in northern kosovo remains the standoff between pay for soldiers or glocal serbs is no closer to resolution but people from both sides of the barricades are glad 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 open and village in courses south western observe minority living in tiny enclaves and i was waiting for him in a car and i saw him coming out of the or being cafeteria. gunshots and my down fall down i watched him but i was worried guy immediately i didn't even say good bye to him. w. bush shows us his wounds he was shocked when his father's killers try. to eliminate the only witness i will never return to their employees they'll treat me i'm worrying about my family and myself in a separate incident just last week in under an armed serb who was killed in a confrontation with a local these two men together with their friend mir 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 stopped by the new york at higher we talked for five minutes then he said he needed

to come back to his heart to take in some form but came back and stirred up a kalashnikov do you want your man back you shouted and started firing at homes we are drug was killed. 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 but change or if nationality course. so you could have been with us on this sunday here on c.n.n. there for more in-depth coverage and exclusive footage of it over to our web site. from the items waiting for you there right now iraq's refusal to grant u.s. soldiers an extended stay with diplomatic immunity means the troops heading home or find those details online. in the heart of moscow have

users the media has dropped from it gave additionally. there are at the moment seven israeli soldiers who've been kidnapped or who are missing in action nazmi son magically disappeared while hitchhiking to his only base major one allied was captured twenty five years ago after his aircraft was shot down of eleven on these are the last pictures of him alive taken in a prison in iran and 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 is alive or dead here in lebanon and syria just bring it to us that they've brought us nothing. certain her son is still alive and well she's pleased to be allowed 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 outstanding succeeded in marketing their son we saw it as a family this was a growl as 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 heartbeat of the free. actually campaigned for nearly two years way in the family and said. yes in front of the fine minister's office every morning when the time they are if his home he was reminded about the soldier who cannot attend to his beloved i'm not embarrassed to say that 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 on a spiritual send their sons to war we need to know and she will do everything possible to get them back or it's done just that in the case of gilad shalit but at what cost will militants now be empowered to kidnap and not an israeli soldier and will israel be willing to pay this price again. already without a live from moscow let's check out some other leading stories from around the globe this hour a defunct german satellite has made its reentry into earth's atmosphere after more than ten years of inactivity most of it burned up during re-entry but up to thirty fragments including a one point seven ton telescope thought to have crashed on the surface scientists weren't able to communicate with the satellite before we actually trying to determine its fate now the german aerospace center says the likelihood of dead from the craft causing injury is extremely low. doctors overseeing
