with the top stories of today and all of this week we're watching the weekly on on t.v. with me role research showing libyans are celebrating the beginning of a new era with the death of colonel gadhafi who was gunned down in unclear circumstances on thursday well the incident sparked international calls for an investigation with allegations the ousted libyan leader was executed a leaked video portrays a man boasting that he shot khadafi in cold blood during his capture in the city of elections analogy to be held in libya within eight months followed by the formation of a new government and the drafting of a constitution however a future without the colonel looks uncertain as ethnic and tribal divisions emerge all of the libyans at once united in revolution and then there's nato which is winding down its military intervention while its members rushed to secure lucrative oil deals with the new libyan authorities and he said now it has details from tripoli. not so long ago it was handshakes and hugs now it's

his head. and his family and a lot of tales to tell about just foreign involvements and the fact that though he was always been treated as a great devil he also played a lot of good c.n.n. pinky with the western. graphic gruesome footage of gadhafi went viral as news of his death spread after months of being number one and nato is hit list under the banner humanitarian mission. we came we saw he died there didn't have anything to do with your visit. libya's and t.c. claims he was killed in crossfire but edited video begs to differ show here clearly wiping blood from his head then clearly dead look at the footage shown on t.v. proves that he was captured alive and wounded and after that he was killed. so will pressure is growing. an investigation to find out if gadhafi died as clinton put it

or was executed the un human rights organization should all push not only for investigation of the death and certainly the lynching of many of the libyan members of the. support the gadhafi but also the bombings that inflicted in libya the destroyed so many of libya's infrastructure and also so many libyan civilians who died in the u.s. who were killed in the first three 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 bombing 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 bombed the infrastructure having destroyed the schools the hospitals the the water supply and a country united in hatred for going down feet might not stand together now that he's gone all these these different groups that we were held together but one thing that was a trigger. and now that's gone away you can redirect their anger at each other and i think of things chaos ensues and political instability there's a lot of people looking back on libya. and we change we're back one hour and that is not a great celebrations continue throughout the week 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 even more oil reporting from tripoli and he's now a r.t. under any series of keeping us updated with the latest from tripoli online as well if you are just what you want to use twitter stream you can keep track of her account of events in post khadafi. i mean time and see war activist brian becker thinks the killing of colonel qadhafi signals a successful western takeover of libya. prime in fact i think this is the act of the nato powers the united states britain and france the former colonizers and enslavers of africa who have carried out regime change in many countries they've done it again they've taken out the leader and replaced him with a new government which will be basically a nato client regime moammar gadhafi would be alive today except for one reason and that is the nato intervention the nato bombing of sirte the nato bombing of cities

and complete defiance of their own resolution resolution that said that they were entering libya just to protect civilians it's been clear from the outset that they're killing civilians killing anybody who stands in the way of the real objective of the operation which is to carry out regime change i don't think the n.p.c. really is the floors in libya it is there for the time being at least it may be a transitional regime the real power in libya today is the united states britain and france the nato countries that carried out the regime change we see a nato takeover of a country that has the largest oil reserves in the entire african continent the ninth largest oil reserves in the world this is a coup d'etat by western powers against an oil rich african country and i mean time in syria the death of colonel gadhafi sparked a fresh wave of anti-government protests calling for president bashar assad to step down dozens more people were reportedly shot dead of troops loyal to damascus a crackdown on the demonstrators over three thousand being killed in the country

since much of its auntie's testosterone and reports from syria both sides of the conflict have plenty of blood on that. this is the office of the trader one of the messages on the wall these rail and the us were able to buy you with a thousand dollars says another. this is where several opposition leaders work like . he had been a vocal critic and had spent fourteen years in jail there a bad time he recalls like many opposition members he thinks there's really very little room for because the league. under the current environment. because troops must be withdrawn to their backs. is the regime that i know. is listening to people. he insists peaceful protesters were forced to respond to attacks by security forces but he acknowledges that now it's simply not black and

white responsibility for the violence goes both ways. and. this killing civilians but we have some civilians killing. soldiers son was one of the first soldiers killed since protests began in the country he was killed in on march twenty three. all foreign media acknowledge that too many of the army and national guards have lost their lives so how can some people say that on groups didn't exist he could next the civilians and the members like my son how could all new members kill other members this is impossible the media that says it is plain lying. and variant lies the problem the moment. there is confusion about what's really going on in the organization is taken by each side and used to defend their position so if you're hearing the arguments from one side you'll likely believe them amid this atmosphere of confusion and misinformation the push for reforms continues what's enduring very forms this is another question

whenever a new legislation is made we see an escalation of the security situation in syria becoming by the guns but we cannot absolutely put the blame on the government as i mean some circles of trying to propagate all voices from both sides are calling for dialogue to sit down and talk to the syrians themselves agree that if this crisis is to be resolved that foundation of trust should be first laid down but with each threat or death syria respond to rising an already widening political gap . does there are still you are to damascus. ok ten minutes past the hour here in moscow and coming your way shortly a class gap devouring the u.s. . dozens of people arrested across america for peaceful anti corporate demonstrations anger towards

the so-called one percent keeps on growing. and the report on why nato warnings and gas on it's enough to get ethnic serbs to remove their barricades next to the disputed so called road. you are watching the weekly on r.t. european leaders have begun to cry six talks in brussels aimed at resolving the region's debt crisis and keeping another recession they're expected to tell banks to accept the greek debt will never be paid in full and instead should raise a new capital to deal with the losses this week with violent clashes broke out in athens where people fed up with yet more austerity measures vented their anger. with. process has become a regular occurrence theory behind the five sensing the growing public angry fears of a start say what that means to the people here in the country has been cut to their wages by around thirty percent in most cases on top of that. the pensions

the public spending unemployment here in the country is cripplingly high and we seen the emergence of a new generation of homeless these measures really nice things have affected everyone here in great oh i've been. here almost up to that good. and us to our young and. old sort of five one of the nation of the people who will fight peacefully because we want our lives calm by. the young and the people from all walks of quique life to end the today protest largest police a scene since the crisis began one of the most violent preferred place very far it's it wasn't to be the anger once again boiling over 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 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 of business 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 that the pressure to the for the riot police involved in these events you know the school or the system of the it is very hard to describe the feeling. of the policeman because there are two a social and a professional group who are suffering by the economic measures to government has to take sometimes it is really hard for them to take part induce protests as a working people but once more they had to take to the streets to push back

protesters even days he 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 great it is a situation that affects the entire year and so you can see what the people in the country right now are willing to go through to have their voices heard the people here are going to have to wait a while longer see if anyone from now be ready to listen. it's been hailed as an historic middle east prisoner exchange with over one thousand palestinians being swapped for just one israeli soldier following a massive campaign for his release gilad shalit was freed after being held for five years in captivity by hamas but his homecoming has left many jewish families feeling better. every day. 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 who disappeared one year before gilad shalit was taken hostage. i have served this over and over again the government and the country are not doing enough for my city neuters the media you know has the option it gave to do so here. there are at the moment seven israeli soldiers who've been kidnapped or who are missing in action now. disappeared while hitchhiking to his army base major one of our it was captured twenty five years ago off his a craft was shot down of lebanon 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. to search and 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 family succeeded in marketing their son we saw it as a family this wasn't 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 where the heart of the free gilad shalit campaign for nearly two years he's putting his family and the police to come out here in front of the prime minister's office every morning when

netanyahu left his home he was reminded about the soldier who could not return to his. really 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 as parents who send their sons to war we need to knock the country will do everything possible to get them back on org it's done just that in the case of gilad shalit but at what cost will militants now be empowered to kidnap another israeli soldier and will israel be willing to pay this price again. this is the weekly see now at least one hundred wall street protesters were arrested by police during the occupy chicago demonstration for refusing to leave a certain city park comes to two days after dozens of protesters were arrested in new york activists say police responded to the peaceful rallies with necessary

force it's been over a month since the protests against fat cats and corporate greed erupted in the united states and as aussies gun a chicken explains the expanding gap between rich and poor could have dire consequences for the country. a class war seemed impossible in a country where being wealthy is part of the national dream but as thousands march on wall street and in other parts of america protesting against the system that they claim works only for the benefit of a few super rich individuals and corporations many ask whether america is facing a class war that it's only when the rich are getting richer while the middle class is class a class war is being waged in america today unfortunately the old saw eye is winning the so-called one percent of winners are the nation's top corporations which this year made the economy's very slow growth have non the less made record profits but thanks to various loopholes many of these corporations pay little or

nothing in taxes the corporations say they need the tax breaks to be able to invest more and to hire more america's second largest energy producers chevron is now lobbying not to let the government tax them more and to my question how many americans has chevron hired since the tax breaks were introduced in two thousand and four the c.e.o. of the company said there were up slightly a few thousand in our upstream business over the years but not significantly not significantly on our chevron payroll a few thousand jobs for the billions of dollars in tax stimulus that the government gave them economy same erika's largest corporations are. sitting on more than three trillion dollars and not investing in the economy unemployment in the us remains over nine percent where we live in a nation where corporations can profit off a child dying at the same time with their parents in a bankruptcy because they're trying to pay for these kids medical bills. what does

that say about our country the wall street answer to people's rage and if you kill all three will be nobody held three jobs but as one of the protesters tried to put a word of objection we call an old on hold on it's not your show monkey i'm talking to these people hold on i'm not talking to you you can. talk give you personal success and money have always being part of the american dream really when you read the aspiration to become rich is deeply ingrained in american society and widely promoted by pop culture but those who took to the streets have made it clear that the situation when the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer is not their idea of the american dream in fact it could be the end of it and the beginning of a class war i'm going to check our reporting from washington our team. still ahead of you in the program here on r.t. a legendary launch a russian soyuz rocket set off from
