down in unclear circumstances on the day the incident sparked international calls for an investigation with allegations the ousted libyan leader was executed a leaked video portrays a man of boasting that he shot khadafi twice in cold blood and urine his capture in the city of the claim is supported by a post-mortem was discovered two bullet holes on the colonel's body 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 the post gadhafi future looks on so as ethnic and tribal divisions emerge among libyans once united in revolution and then of course this nato which is now winding down its military intervention on its members rushed to secure lucrative oil deals with the new libyan authorities and he said now we know reports 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
10:02 am
was always portrayed as a great guy who he also played a lot of good c.n.n. and panky with the western. graphic gruesome footage of gadhafi went viral as news of his death spread after months of being number one on nato was hit list under the banner humanitarian mission. we came we saw that he died there. have been going to direct your visit. libyans and t.c. claims he was killed in crossfire but edited video begs to differ shown 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. global pressure is growing for an investigation to find out if gadhafi died as clinton put it or was executed. the un and human rights organizations should all push not only
10:03 am
for investigation of the death and certainly the lynching of many of the libyan. supported. but also the bombings that inflicted in libya the droid 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 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
10:04 am
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 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 were held together but one thing and that was. that's gone away you can really direct their anger at each other and i think you have to eat 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 cross the country and it seems few people here are really thinking about the future what a libya without gadhafi it really means for them a country with no. leader
10:05 am
a lot of weapons and even more oil reporting from tripoli and he's now a r.t. underneath there is keeping us up to date with the latest from tripoli online as well just head over to our to use twitter stream to keep track of her account of events in post khadafi tippi. meantime political analyst adrian sal but she thinks the results of the foreign intervention in libya are a stark warning to other regimes that have fallen out of favor with the west this is a message for the whole world i don't think this is just about libya this is a message to the world of how this new world order model actually works i will be decided to take over you regina they do so with the utmost violence and it's a whole model based on or will we learn new speak so to speak first a target a role a country by calling it a rogue state they do support local terrorists and call them freedom fighters then they drain death and destruction upon civilians and we call the u.n.
10:06 am
sanctions then they spread lies and call it the international community's opinion expressed by the western media then be invaded and control the country and call it liberation and finally they steal appetising oil and call it foreign investments and reconstruction. and cross to syria where the death of colonel gadhafi sparked a fresh wave of anti-government protests calling for president bashar al assad to step down dozens more people were reportedly shot dead as troops loyal to damascus to crack down on the demonstrators over three thousand are said to have been killed in the country since march but as artie's tester australia reports from syria both sides of the conflict have plenty of blood on their hands. this is the office of the traitor means one of the messages on the wall he's real and the us are 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

10:08 am
guards have lost their lives so how can some people save its own groups didn't exist. these civilians and members like my son how could all mean members kill other members this is impossible the media that says it is plain 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 hear only arguments from one side you'll likely believe them amid this atmosphere of confusion and misinformation the push for reforms continues what's a lingering very forms this is another question whenever a new legislation is made we see a miscalculation 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 trying. to propagate voices from both sides are calling for dialogue to see. if the syrians
10:09 am
themselves agree that if this crisis is to be resolved the foundation of trust should be first laid down but with each threat or death syria respond to rising already widening political gap. does or so you are damascus. you're watching the weekly here on r.t. coming your way the. united states. and we were. warning. to remove the barricades to the disputed. border. european leaders have begun crucial talks in brussels aimed at resolving the region's debt crisis and keeping another recession there are expected to tell banks to accept that greek debt will never be

10:12 am
conscience he's not the only one speaking to police major after the protests at the start of the month he told me that the pressure today for the riot police involved in these events you know the school of the system of the it is very hard to describe the few. because of the policeman because there are two a social and professional group who are suffering by the economic measures to 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 protest is even theys 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 didn't think to a should not affect the entire eurozone you can see what the people in the country right now willing to go through to have everything but the people here are going to have to wait a while longer see if anyone from now be ready to listen. it's
10:13 am
a race against time for the e.u. leaders to resolve the eurozone debt crisis economic analyst michael ross says to the common currency idea was flawed from the start and it's too late to say. they're to town ik it's sinking and the orchestra is still playing this is a situation that we have of them at the moment it's a politicians for the euro is the result of politicians is a political way and will to create this common currency but the fact that it of also constructed 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 or take the northern countries into southern countries and to create a kind of northern europe but this is not course who once was a once a power having the ural means having power and i don't want to loose a power saw we will go all into this boat you cannot solve
10:14 am
a debt crisis by producing more debt at the end everybody will be drowning everybody will go under and this i see coming in one or two years here in the eurozone. and you are watching the weekly here on r t with the week's top stories on at least one hundred wall street protests scuse me protesters were arrested by police during the so-called occupy chicago demonstration for fusing to leave a city park this comes two days off the dozens of protesters were arrested in new york activists say police responded to 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 the saudis garniture can 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 green could as thousands march on wall street and in other parts of america protesting against the system
10:15 am
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 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 saudi is winning the so-called one percent of winners are the nation's top corporations which this year and made the economies very slow growth have non the less made record profits the things to various loopholes the huge 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 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 speech there were up slightly
10:16 am
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 merica. largest corporations are sitting on more than three trillion dollars and not investing in the economy unemployment in the us remains over nine percent when we live in a nation where corporations can profit off a child dying at the same time with their parents into bankruptcy to 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 wall street will be nobody held three jobs but as one of the protesters tried to put a word of objection was all 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 to you personal
10:17 am
success and money have always been part of the american dream the rich the aspiration to become rich is the sleep 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 shift our reporting from washington our team. we are coming to you live from the heart of moscow still ahead of the program here on r t three long russian soyuz rocket sets off from a french space base in the tropics this week it's carrying the e.u. first satellite navigation system high into. nato led peacekeepers trying to remove roadblocks in northern cause of have been prevented by serbians who suffer on the roads guarding the disputed cause of a border crossing. the barricades in july to stop because of oil from extending its
10:18 am
control over the part of the country populated mostly by ethnic. summary financial reports on the continuing standoff. as months of tension between serves nicole bennett of course was continue roads in northern course they remain closed for some serbs are fortifying their very cases and see themselves again as victims of history these cartoon rates 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 that they can come and take our land serbia is our home we don't want to live in albania the look how 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 prefer a peaceful solution by talks by an agreement which i did all is in the last week
10:19 am
but if that is not to be reached i have to be on my own i have to do 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 northern kosovo remains the standoff between k. four soldiers and local serbs really is no closer to resolution that's people from both sides of the barricades glad 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 west serves 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 and i wanted to him but i was worried he died
10:20 am
immediately i didn't even say good bye to him. nobody voice shows us his wounds he was shocked when his father's killers try to. eliminate the only witness i will never return to that place. i'm worrying about my family and myself in a separate incident just last week another unarmed serb who was killed in a confrontation with a local these two men together with their friend mir drug the father of the big family went to see what used to be serb 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 hire we talked for five minutes then he said he needed to come back to his car to take his son from but came back instead with a kalashnikov do you want to lombok he shouted and started firing at us drug was killed at the scene the man who just lost their friends say there is only one reason he was killed but just because we are serbs period eleven years after the
10:21 am
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 like to change refn optionality course of. ok for troops used tear gas and pepper spray to disperse the crowd of serbs at the blockade in northern cause of a serbian political analyst alexander a puppet claims that concessions to broker a peaceful solution were made but foreign and peacekeepers are 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 there even though 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
10:22 am
willing to do is allow albanian so-called customs officials from taking the border between call civil 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 of the the government in prishtina 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 also to be part of the e.u. i mean two thirds of the heroin coming from the understanding to europe goes through possible it's a place with the highest crime rate probably in the world you know the 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 you know this is just a game it's just the membership is just being used as as a means of victory for extracting concessions from belgrade and of giving the
10:23 am
albanians normal average albanians the illusion that they're actually going to get something down the road when it when it will be much easier for them to just come to peace with their serbian neighbors right now a quick pulls from the weekly here and to give you some other international headlines for you well let's get an update on the turkey earthquake here seven point three magnitude earthquake has struck east and so close to the border with iran the local mayor to the affected area van described a scene of many bodies and that much of a lot of schools are feared dead with dozens hospitalized after some forty five apartment buildings collapsed. area latest reports say that two military planes have taken off from the capital ankara for carrying aid and supplies the tremor was also felt in iran and. afghan president hamid karzai has said that which country would back pakistan on if it ever went to war with the united states a statement that contrasts with his harsh criticism of his nation's eastern neighbor
