swap stories on r.t. in a bloodstained end to an era in libya with allegations colonel gadhafi was executed by the interim government's troops. breaking point this week violent clashes erupted in greece as people were hit with yet more austerity measures e.u. leaders up against the clock to try and resolve the debt crisis. battle over barricades nato forces failed to remove roadblocks why force of the disputed serbia kosovo border ethnic serbs guard the blockade to stop the peacekeepers advance. an historic moment a russian soyuz rocket sets off from a french space space in the tropics carrying europe's first satellite navigation system in any to become a rival to america's g.p.s. .

you're watching the weekly here on r.t. with the week's main headlines wrong or sushant libyans are celebrating the beginning of a new era with the death of colonel khadafi he was gunned down in unclear circumstances on thursday the incident sparked international calls for an investigation of allegations the ousted leader was executed a leaked video for trey's a man boasting that he shot could afy trice in cold blood during his capture in the city of sirte the claim supported by a post mortem was discovered two protocols on the council's party elections are now due to be held in libya within eight months followed by the formation of a new government and the drafting of a constitution however the post gadhafi future looks uncertain as ethnic and tribal divisions emerge among libyans once united in revolution and then there's nato which is winding down its military intervention while its members rush to secure

lucrative oil deals with the new libyan authorities as he said he said now it has more from tripoli. not so long ago it with handshakes and hugs now its. feet and his family and a lot of. foreign involvements and the fact that he was always portrayed as a great guy who you also played a lot of banking with western. graphic gruesome footage of get after he went viral as news of his death spread after months of being number one and nato hitlist under the banner humanitarian mission. we came we saw god. have anything to do with your. libya and to see claims he was killed in crossfire but i didn't really you know begs to differ here clearly wiping one 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. total 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 for gauld push not only for investigation. and certainly the looting of many of the libyan members of the. support of the 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 in the u.s. who were killed in the. alliance officials claim the mission in libya is coming to enhance 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. it's brought parts of would be 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 if montreal united in hatred for gadhafi might not stand together now that he's gone all these different groups that were held together by one thing that was hatred of coffee and now that's gone away you can really direct their anger at each other and i think things chaos ensues and political instability there's a lot of people looking back on libya. and changing we're back

now and that is not making a celebration continued throughout the week chrysler 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 he's now a r.c. . and he so is i keeping us updated with the latest from tripoli online as well if you just head over to our twitter stream you can keep track of her account of events and post khadafi. i mean so i'm british m.p. jeremy cotton thinks the killing of caffie slams the credibility of libya's new war thora he's who will now find themselves challenged to maintain order in the country . there's footage of him apparently in the back of a truck in the air and surrounded by a very angry mob of the assumption i guess is that he was killed by this morgue sometime shortly after that he should have been treated as

a prisoner of war take him interviewed interrogated and put on trial and then they do process would have taken place already looks when he was indeed killed in the back of a truck and this really does raise some question marks about the command the discipline of the t.n.c. forces and what libya is going to be like not just tomorrow but next month next year and in the next ten years because clearly there is a need for a stable government in libya there is a need for a democratic government in libya there's a need for an investigation into human rights difficulties and abuses in the past but there's an awful lot of there's an awful lot of irregular forces otherwise the alternative is some ghastly descent into war with all the many armaments that there are there already in libya. i mean time over in syria death of colonel gadhafi sparked a fresh wave of anti-government protests all of them calling for president bashar al assad to step down but dozens more people were reportedly shot dead us troops

loyal to damascus cracked down on the demonstrators over three thousand being killed in the country since march but as artists are australia reports from syria both sides of the conflict have plenty of blood on their hands. this is the author of the traitor one of the messages on the wall he's rail of the us rebuilt by you with a thousand dollars says another. this is where several opposition leaders work like of the as he is on fire he had been a vocal critic and had spent fourteen years in jail a very bad time he recalls like many opposition members he thinks there's really very little room for because alleviation under the current environment. because troops must be with that ox leader boysen is going to change that like no. he's 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 response ability for the violence goes both ways with. us killing civilians but we have some civilians killing. soldiers your 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 knapp's these civilians and only members like my son how could only members kill other members this is impossible the media that says it is plainly lying. and therein lies the problem the moment. there is confusion about what's really going on information 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 i mean this atmosphere of confusion and misinformation the push for reforms continues what's in there in very forms this is another question whenever a new legislation is made we see an escalation of the security situation in syria and the killing by the guns but we cannot absolutely put blame on the government as i mean some circles trying to provoke a bit of 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 out but with each threat or death syria respond the rise in an already widening political back does or so you r.t. damascus. just turning ten minutes past the hour here in moscow coming your way shortly for a class gap that's devouring the united states. dozens

of people are arrested across america for peaceful anti corporate demonstrations anger towards the so-called one percent peeps on growth. that we report on why nato warnings and tear gas are not enough to get ethnic serbs to remove their barricades next to the disputed serbia kosovo border. this is the reply here on r.t. now european leaders have become crucial talks in brussels aimed at resolving the region's debt crisis and keeping another recession that day they're expected to tell banks to accept that greek debt will never be paid in full and instead they should raise new capital to deal with the losses now this week violent clashes broke out in athens where people fed up with yet more austerity measures vented their anger artie's sarah ferguson was there. become a regular occurrence theory behind the fight since things probably because

of that see what that means to the people here in the country has been touched in that way to inspire out the percent in most cases that have. and since the public spending i'm finding here in the country is cripplingly high within the americans of a new generation of homeless these measures really peace seem to have affected everyone here in going. after. that good. old son five one of the nation of the people who are going to fight peacefully because we want our lives. the young and the rose and people from all walks of quick life to institute a protest and largest cleese's seen since the crisis began one of the nice violence to see through for chris revives and it wasn't to be the anger once again boiling

a there with fights breaking out not just with the police but in the protestors from cells british 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. this is just a phrase has is with an appetite to change it was passed from top government officials did applies when a position and the saying he thinks the leisure business struggling with his conscience he's not the only one speaking to police in asia after the protests at the start of the month tell me the pressure teeth of the riot police involved in these events you know this school of business it is very hard to describe the feeling. of the policeman because there are two are social and professional group who are suffering great economic measures of the government has to take sometimes

it is really hard for them to to part of these protests as a working people but once more they had to take to the streets to piss back pay testers days he wanted to make their point peacefully arrested yesterday i think it's going to be watching it very closely because that is the problem that affects great. time yeah i think you can't think what the people in the country right now are willing to date things that have that point. the people here again cathy wait a while longer see if anyone from now be ready to listen. well it's a race against time for the e.u. leaders to resolve the eurozone debt crisis but financial analyst patrick young says any idea they come up with will simply be obsolete i think we're actually coming close to the end because ultimately the greek economy is in such a mess there's nothing can be done i mean what we're trying to do here is take the

world's most beast person and give them a crash diet so they're going to turn into i don't know cindy crawford by the end of next year i mean it's simply impossible you can't do you know what the greek railways for example i mean the salary bill something like one hundred million euros the total amount of income is like one hundred million euro and. all it costs about seven hundred million euros i believe to run the railway system you cannot possibly manage to change those numbers in such a short period of time the simple truth is greece has too much debt no matter of belt tightening is going to change it now i what's going to happen is we're going to have to take what we call in banking terms that haircut on the debt and ultimately it's not going to be cutting of the hair a lot of people are going to be left somewhat bogged. now five fifteen pm here in moscow you're watching the weekly at least one hundred and she will shoot protesters were arrested by police during the occupy chicago demonstration a

arrested for refusing to leave a city park comes or two days after dozens of protesters were arrested in new york activists say police responded to the peaceful rallies with unnecessary force it's been over a month since the protests against fat cats and corporate greed erupted in the united states and saltines gun a chicken explains the expanding gap between the rich and poor could have dire consequences for the country. a class war seemed impossible in a country where being wealthy east part of the national dream could 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 asked whether america is facing a class war then at a time when the rich are getting richer while the middle class is class a class war is being waged in america today unfortunately the wrong side is winning the so-called one percent of winners are the nation's top corporations

which this year the economy is very slow growth of non the less made record profits for things to be areas loopholes plenty of these corporations pay little or nothing in parts of the corporations say they need the tax breaks to be able to invest more in to hire more america's second largest energy producers chevron is now lobbying not to let the government cracks 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 economists say married his. 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 could 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 a job but as one of the protesters try to put a word objection we call it all done all done it's not your job might be i'm talking to these people hold on i'm not talking to you you can. talk you through your personal success and money has always been 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 and 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 austin r.t.

. all right i still have a few in the program here on our legendary launch a russian soyuz rocket saw from a french space space in the tropics this week carrying with the p e use first satellite navigation system high into orbit. nato led peacekeepers try to remove roadblocks in northern cause of i've been prevented by. on the roads guarding of the disputed cause of a border crossing some of the barricades in july to stop cause a fire from extending its control over the part of the country that's populated mostly by ethnic serbians parties where if a national reports on the continuing stuff. because months of tension between serbs in this nickel band and of course worse continue roads in northern cos they remain closed for some serbs are fortifying their very fate consider themselves again as victims of history these cartoon reads we defeated your grandad 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 will then why do they think they can come and take our land serbia is our home we don't want to live in albania oh look how they aren't we have nothing but flag and faith in god some two hundred meters away they took a four soldiers keep watching i would with the peaceful solution by dogs by an agreement judge it 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 own 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 of millions is no closer to resolution with people

from both sides of the barricades are glad to avoid any further violence away from media glare hostility is commonplace. this twenty three year old syrian man was with his father when he was shot just three weeks ago visiting ben village in polls as south west serves a minority living in time and place i was waiting for him in a car and i saw him coming out of the or being in the cafeteria and i heard gunshots and my dad fall down i wanted to him but i was worried guide immediately i didn't even say goodbye to him. w. bush owes us his wounds he was shocked when his father's killer is tried to eliminate the only witness i will never return to that place me i'm worrying about my family and myself in a separate incident just last week in order and served was killed in a confrontation with a local these two men together with their friend mere drug they follow the beach

family went to see which used to be served land now owned by ethnical the ins says serbs fled after nature's ninety ninety nine bombing of yugoslavia they were stopped by the new occupier we talked for five minutes then he said he needed to come back to his car to take home but came back instead with a kalashnikov do you want your mom back in childhood and started farming out on your drug was killed. the man who just lost their friends they there is only one reason he was killed that's just because we are serbs periods eleven years after the end of major conflict here and despite the presence international peacekeepers violence seems to be still part of everyday life some in this troubled breakaway province and there is little sign that's change raif nationality. well the latest update on that story is that k.

four troops use cheap gas and pepper spray to disperse the crowd of the blockade in north in kosovo so being a political analyst alexander path which claims the concessions to broker a peaceful solution were made but foreign peacekeepers still attacked they're not going to stop now that's for sure it's just a matter of who will be more stubborn the serbs who are defending their own land or the nato forces sent here from who knows where the serbs have tried to negotiate they've even they've even tried to give concessions in the sense that they're willing to let supply convoys pass and supply the nato troops what they're not willing to do is allow albanian so-called cost to officials from the border between kosovo and the rest of serbia and this is something that they're not going to back away from so this is why we can expect more conflict because obviously nato is acting as the infantry. the government increased you know there isn't going to

be any membership that's the biggest issue of all i mean it's does anyone think it's realistic for a place like close though to be part of you i mean two thirds of the heroin coming from the understanding from europe of two possible it's a place with of highest crime rate probably in the world capital of arms human smuggling human organs smuggling in trafficking this place would never get into the e.u. and the e.u. obviously has no plans of including serbia there either so this is just a game it's just the membership is just being used as a means of it for extracting concessions from belgrade and giving the albanians normal average albedo has the illusion that they're actually going to get something down the road when it would be much easier for them to just come to peace with serbia neighbors. try to list take a quick pause from the weekly here on r.t. to check out some other world headlines for you let's get an update now on the earthquake in turkey seven point three magnitude has struck eastern turkey or very

close to the border with iran now the local mayor said he has seen too many bodies and too much blood at the locations officials report the earthquake has caused a number of deaths with dozens hospitalized after some twenty five apartment buildings collapsed the local airport was also significantly damaged and is unable to receive rescue planes carrying humanitarian aid but the tremor was also felt in iran armenia georgia. to colombia now where at least ten soldiers have been killed in an ambush by rebels in the country's northeast comes searches before a nationwide election is planned for next week last thursday another attack on colombia's border with it all left ten soldiers to after their vehicles hit roadside bombs both incidents are being blamed on active left wing fark rebels despite the group being the focus of a recent army offensive. the afghan president hamid karzai has said his country

would back pakistan if it ever went to war with the us a statement that contrasts with his harsh criticism of his nation's eastern neighbor during the u.s. secretary of state's recent visit to kabul both hillary clinton and karzai have accused the pakistani government of providing safe haven to terrorist groups launching attacks in afghanistan. a larger german satellite rosie that has made an uncontrolled reentry into the atmosphere after being deactivated in space over a decade ago scientists were not able to communicate with before its return our knowledge trying to determine its whereabouts space enthusiasts worldwide are following the latest developments on the search for the fallen telescope online micro blocks. well other astronomers there have been glued to the progress of a russian soyuz rocket launched on friday from space based in french guiana it's carrying a fast parts of a european satellite navigation system into orbit. daniel bushell was that i

witnessed an arch. the launch of a new era in russian space history the first ever liftoff of a soyuz rocket in the west confirms this position as the leader in the field it's one thousand seven hundred successful takeoffs way ahead of any other rival so when the french led team began plans to send galileo satellites into orbit it was first choice when we needed it medium long trail ah here we immediately thought of show you galileo is europe's new world's it's america's g.p.s. navigation system from the sea much greater accuracy and reliability with so used to launch it the e.u. is confident say use is one of the best launch. on the size so we put together the best competitive team and together we can be the best and beat

all the old all the open and the soyuz and it's just simply have had to be specially adapted to handle the challenges brought by the tropical climate for croix from its sister sites in russia's north and the spitzer kazakstan the soil to needed some work including clearance of one hundred twenty hc does of jungle forest for the launch under a new agreement so use this to send many more satellites for europe into orbit from the site with much of the equipments being built in russia and then shipped to french go know a massive boost for the russian space industry as for the future well speaking only about french ground and crew and there's a contract country for fifty so years. can you imagine fifty or so years which means that for the minimum six seven years both summer and the moscow factories they will be fully engaged in their lots of work to do this success

cements the reputation of soyuz as the world's top space launch program but it also turns a new page in relations between the european union and russia c.d.o. e.u. figures with the suit and expressed optimism for the new corporation to galileo satellites into a little bit without a glitch so the cheers of the launch team and guests in russian soyuz means union of both the e.u. and russia will be hoping the project will indeed mean a union of interests and close a partnership and a bushel r.t. for a trailer. oh right so up so in here i would say you know we explore the role of the university of california and to develop a gulf america's nuclear weapons program for the headlines in a moment here. it's

just a life long dream for many many. months brave real loomis' not enough to steer the ship. malec. endures. and genuine love to the mother lands history are required. people who revive the engine craft are sailing through the centuries on archie.
