7:01 am
this is the weekly with me rule research showing libyan authorities have confirmed colonel gadhafi died with a bullet wound to the head the ousted dictator was shot near his hometown of sirte reportedly in a crossfire event earlier this week but video footage suggesting he was killed in captivity has led to international calls for an investigation even so posts khadafi libya is planning elections within the next eight months but it's all to use an isa now we reports from tripoli there is much cynicism where the change will come. not too long ago with handshakes and hot now it's his head. and his family and a lot of tales to tell about foreign involvements and fact that though he was always portrayed as a great guy you also played a lot of footsie and panky with the western powers. graphic gruesome footage of gadhafi went viral as news of his death spread after months of being number one
7:02 am
nato hit list under the banner humanitarian mission oh we came we saw he died. have anything to do with your visit. and to see claims he was killed in crossfire but edited radio begs to differ that show here clearly wiping blood from his head then clearly dead look at those movies of the footage shown on t.v. proves that he was captured alive and wounded and after that he was killed. all 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. and certainly the lynching of many of the libyan members of the. support. but also the bombings that inflicted in libya that destroyed
7:03 am
so many of the be as infrastructure and also so many libyans to really enjoy who died 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 that'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
7:04 am
a country united in hatred for gadhafi might not stand together now that he's gone all these these different groups and that we were held together but one thing and that was a trick of coffee and now that's gone away you can really direct their anger at each other and i think. chaos ensues and political instability there's a lot of people looking back on libya. and we change and we're back where now and that is not that great celebrations continue throughout the week of crossing 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 was even more oil reporting from tripoli and he's now a party. now you can actually follow our correspondent in libya his water and he so is saying right now on twitter have a look at the screen here. is preparing to declare its liberation later today with
7:05 am
people celebrating khadafi death all across the country they have guns for the guys on games for the kids but many children are ready to make weapons of war stories 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 do you follow and he said no way twitter page. what u.s. president barack obama called the death of kid afy a powerful reminder of america's leadership in the world but journalist and activist chandan says the late libyan leader did not die a victim. what happened to gadhafi is what gadhafi wanted 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 and i mean when you nationalize your 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
7:06 am
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 to reproach more 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 dare 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. he is coming to you live from moscow with the weekly and it's a race against time for the e.u. leaders to try and save the euro they've got there to 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
7:07 am
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 morris believes it's already too late for the yours are. there to turn a is sinking and d. is still playing this is the 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 they did have was ill constructed. it was clear right from the beginning no we are no miss everybody saw it coming it is very very difficult at the moment to solve this problem in my opinion you can only divide your rule take the northern countries into southern countries and you create a kind of northern europe but this is not course alone it's a little once a power having the ural means having power and they don't want to lose the power so
7:08 am
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 this is i see coming in one or two years here in the eurozone. in 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 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 showed the public is at a breaking point to sarah ferguson the great capital. processor become a regular occurrence theory behind the five senses thing it's growing public angry because of a third say what that means to the people here in the country has been cuts to their wages by around thirty percent in most cases on top of that. the pensions
7:09 am
cost the public spending unemployment here in the country is cripplingly high and we see in the emergence of a new generation of homeless these measures really nice things have affected everyone here in going. after. almost up to that good. and last year are young enough alls satisfied one of the nice one of the people who will fight peacefully because we want our lives calm by. the young and the rose and people from all walks of greek life joins the two day protest largest cleese's seen since the crisis began one of the most violent through forward push very far it's that it wasn't to be thank you once again boiling eva with fights breaking out not just with the police that amongst the protesters themselves greek society is facing
7:10 am
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 for change and they did say it's past and top government officials did applies on a position then the saying he thinks that the measure isn't a struggling with his conscience he's not the only one speaking to police major after the protests at the start of the month tell me if the pressure today for the riot police involved in these events you know the school or the system of the it is very hard to describe the feelings. 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 sometimes it is really hard for them to protest as working people but once more they had to take to the streets to pay tested days he wanted to make
7:11 am
their point peacefully the rest of europe and the usa needs to be watching this very closely because this isn't just a problem that affects great situation it affects the time so you can see what the people in the country right now are willing to go through to have. the people here to wait a while longer and now be ready to listen. eleven minutes past the hour here in moscow still ahead for you to come on the program a triumphant return. not embarrassed to see the government and the country are not doing enough for my son the speaker and the rest of those missing in action. comes home after being exchanged for a thousand palestinian prisoners leaving some families to feel that their children their lost children have been forgotten. you with r.t.
7:12 am
the first country caught up in the wave of arab spring uprisings is now going to the polls eligible voters queued up to elect a new parliament replacing the longtime ruler ben ali who stepped down nine months ago after mass unrest millions of people are expected to turn out intent on having a say in their political future whether 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 tunisia has 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 the the the corruption and fight the second world war was to set up
7:13 am
a free. election and it's going today and the third one is due to watch for the goals achieved from this revolution i guess according to what i have seen today from the polling stations i guess that we have achieved most of what we had expected after this so you're saying that quite a lot of a compliment. have been made here 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 for registered voters 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 they thought perhaps too much choice to production produce an effective government. we cannot we cannot eliminate any any at any parties this is the freedom now we have after twenty three
7:14 am
of corruption through three years of corruption and. democracy now we are in a phase to have a lot of parties that they are expected to be to be represented in the national. committee. so you say you say there are a lot of emotion and it's kind of unsure how much you're a natural issue as you say about it but who are who are the candidates coming to power are we talking is 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 it. 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
7:15 am
multiples most. being in. mission so it's a very. mature reading may have not only to have or people who are going to be ultimately voted into parliament but let me ask you this if i may tunisia marked the start of the arab spring but it's largely been overshadowed by the events in your neighbor libya and that of 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 society that doesn't have any tribes divisions that those inclusions divisions that's what make the transition smoove. with. rocky if i can say rocky movement. now let's see if we can take a broader scope here let's talk about some other countries or the arab spring has swept through people are celebrating the end of more market daffy but the national
7:16 am
transitional council faces a series of hurdles before bringing the democratic reform they've just promised just how much change can people in libya for example expect their. they are going to the to the just regime they have to get with it and i think we have to go through the steps to meet. i guess that's the best the best. least we are leaving out tunisia experience is the best way. to move democracy all right. life for us in tunis many thanks for coming on the program today. thank you very much. you with r.t. now nato led forces in kosovo have failed to remove barricades put up by ethnic serbs at eight disputed border crossing serbs set up the roadblocks back in july
7:17 am

7:18 am
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 in northern kosovo remains the standoff between k. four soldiers and local serbs he really is no closer to resolution of people from both sides of the barricades a glide to avoid any further violence but away from media glare hostility is common place. this twenty three year old syrian man was with 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 and i saw him coming out of the albini and cafeteria when i heard two gunshots and my dad fall down i rushed to him but i was worried he died immediately

swapped for just one israeli soldier gilad schalit was freed following five years in captivity and a massive campaign for his release in israel but his homecomings left many jewish families bitter as are his put to sleep i found out. every day he comes here to a place that looks after israeli soldiers who are alone in the country who come from difficult backgrounds but being here is often more of a comfort to him than the youngsters he hopes because it brings him and that little bit closer to his son mashpee who disappeared one year before gilad shalit was taken hostage we are modern or might have served the civil war and over again the government and the country are not doing enough for mardi neither is the media you know as the option it gave to the show the family here are at the moment seven israeli soldiers who've been kidnapped or who are missing in action now as my son magically disappeared while hitchhiking to his army base major want to ride was
7:22 am
captured twenty five years ago after his aircraft was shot down over lebanon these of the last pictures of him alive taken in a prison in iran guy have a 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 for a live dead here in lebanon and syria just bring it up the sense that they've brought us nothing new. so certain her son is still alive and while she's pleased to get out 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 arts now we succeeded in marketing their son we saw it as a family this wasn't relevant we thought it was enough the guy was an i.d.f. soldier in uniform but we were wrong very very wrong.
7:23 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 brought back home that's what the heart please help me free. actually campaigned for nearly two years his way in the family and still to come out here in front of the prime minister's office every morning when the time yahoo left his home he was reminded about the soldier who could not return to his village 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 home parents who send their sons to war we need to know that the country will do everything possible to get them back org it's done just that in the case of gilad shalit but at what cost will militants now be empowered to kidnap and other israeli soldier and will israel be willing to pay this price
