liberation of the country following the death of colonel gadhafi he was gunned down an unclear circumstances while fleeing the city of sirte on thursday the incident sparked international calls for an investigation with allegations the ousted libyan leader was executed a leaked video the phrase a man posting that he shot gadhafi twice during his capture it claim is supported by a post mortem which discovered to put it in the colonel's body elections analogy to be held in libya within eight months full of a formation of a new government in the drafting of the constitution for the post that i think future looks uncertain as ethnic and tribal divisions in merge 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 for the new. season the snowy is in tripoli with more. not too long ago it was handshakes and hugs now its head and his family and

a lot of. foreign involvement fact that he was always portrayed as a great guy you also played a lot of banking with western powers. graphic gruesome footage of kidnap you went viral as news of his death spread after months of being number one and nato hit list under the banner humanitarian mission. we came we saw a guy. thing to do with. libya and you see claims he was killed in crossfire but edited video begs to differ here clearly wiping blood from his head then clearly dead it's a little amusing the footage shown on t.v. proves that he was captured alive and well and after that he was killed. well the pressure is growing for an investigation to find out if he died as clinton put it

or was executed a un 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 so many of libya's infrastructure and also so many libyan civilians who. were killed in the. alliance officials claim the mission in libya is coming to hand 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. once brought parts of libya back to the stone age some say the race for the country's oil has gone france is

already demanding thirty five percent of libya's gross national gross or 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 a contrary united in hatred from the down might not stand together now that he's gone all these these different groups that were held together but one thing that was at our feet and 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. fear of. change and we're back here now and that is not a great celebration continued throughout the week of crossing the country and it seems few people here are really thinking about the future 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 even now a r.t. . and he says keeping us updated with the latest from tripoli online as well just head to our twitter stream to keep track of her account of events in post gadhafi libya well let's get some reaction and analysis now from professor hisham gussied he's joining us live from the capital city professor thank you very much indeed for being with us the new libyan authorities claim the country is now liberated but we're just hearing reports that colonel gadhafi is most influential son saif is just released a statement saying he will keep up the fight so is the war over or not. well of course not because libya has been actually invaded under the pretext of protecting the civilians but actually it has been invaded and as your reporter said . a lot of devastation occurred in libya much of the infrastructure has been

destroyed tens of thousands of people have been killed. so actually it is an occupation and a better brutal occupation but i don't think that there will be peace in the it's just like in iraq you see the war was not the end of conflict in iraq after the. hostilities stopped actually a movement of resistance started and i think the same would be happening in libya i think i would say did you see this is another except you describe it as a brutal occupation you would deny then that is not what the majority of libyans wanted the outcome being of course the collapse of gadhafi regime you know they say it was not the revolution i mean they claimed it was an evolution i have studied the revolutions. not only in this part of the world but but in history going to study police speaking this cannot be described as a revolution it was some sort of a coup d'etat where you have the military. backed by nature and they're actually.

nato actually under the pretext of helping civilians or protecting civilians waged a war against libya both the infrastructure of this state the institutions and the ordinary civilians and courts say that tens of thousands of libyans were killed now that cannot be described as that evolution it's an occupation and the gangs the armed gangs we've seen wolf they've done it out from these armed gangs but not evolutionary so i think what you make of nato then saying it's actually going to end its campaign in libya by the end of the month. well yeah perhaps their official campaign but i think that the. allies in libya those who are going to control. libya who control libya will find a lot of trouble in convincing the people of their legitimacy i think there will be

as a sort of movement metal only by got out his sons but generally speaking there will be. resistance movement in libya and let us not forget that libya has. tradition of resistance of the occupier so i think there will be a existence movement in libya similar to what we've had here and we talk about the nature of gadhafi is that he was apparently executed by the interim government's forces there are many saying actually better to put him on trial in indeed even the libyan prime minister he wishes he hadn't been killed prefer a trial but wouldn't a trial actually start past tensions and perhaps delay libya's future progress and not bring about any form of closure. you see i think this is a detail what i mean is that ok what happened with gaddafi whether he was actually executed on the spot whether he was. these are details of course.

heart of details but still they are details the basic fact is not have to build up that was only expected at the hands of these gangs these gangs or. i mean i expect such atrocities from such gags. but the main issue is occupation libya has been occupied it was seventy independent that one under gaddafi ok he had many. actions were perpetrated by gadhafi but at least in libya and during that office time. was actually an independent. country now it has lost its independence there has been a. well maybe let me ask you the m.d.c. is obviously a transitional government it's an interim government they're promising elections we're seeing elections taking place in tunisia today don't you have the same sort of optimism that a forward democratic election could actually take place in eight months there in

libya. well you see there's a fundamental difference between libya and doing as you had a genuine popular revolution which actually deposed. dictator with a very corrupt data and so into this this is the fruit of the real genuine the evolution is not so in libya and libya is a market patient now. i'm sure they're going to have some sort of election but it would be. just like. it would not be a genuine expression of. the will of the people i don't think so i think it would be a mere formality. hiding something. just like look at a. very interesting because occasionally does not give. you see occupation does not breed democracy that there is a fundamental principle of world history i think revolutions breed democracy but

not occupation not military occupation foreign occupation so i doubt very much that there would be real genuine democracy in libya from now on very interesting to have a conversation with you on this thanks so much for your time live from the capital of jordan professor thank you. over in syria 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 cracked down on the demonstrators and three thousand is said to have been killed in the country since march but as an artist has a similar reports from syria both sides of the conflict of plenty of blood on their hands. this is the office of the trader reads one of the messages on the wall israel and the us were able to buy you with a thousand dollars says another. this is where several opposition leaders work like of the as is i'll hire you have 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 reconciliation under the current environment. because troops are withdrawn from their barracks clear voices and the regime know. he's listening to. us he insists he still protesters were forced to respond to attacks by security forces and the acknowledges that now it's simply not black and white sponsibility for the violence goes both ways with not only. us killing civilians but we have some civilians killing. soldiers lay our son was one of the first soldiers killed since protests began in the country he was killed in daraa on march twenty three. all foreign media knowledge 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 you could next these civilians unarmed in members like my son how could only members kill other members this is impossible the media that says it is plain lying. and very analyze 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 like would believe that i made this atmosphere of confusion and misinformation because for reforms continues what's the lingering vary from this is another question whatever the new legislation is made we see an escalation of the security situation in syria given by the guns but we cannot absolutely put the blame on the government as are in some circles trying to propagate the voices for both sides are calling for dialogue to sit down it's hard for 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 dancer cilia r.t. a mask. we're live here in moscow with you twenty four hours a day still to come this hour we report on why nato warnings until it's not enough to get ethnic serbs to remove their parrot caves next to the disputed serbia kosovo border. that's still to come but first european leaders have begun crucial talks in brussels aimed at resolving the region's debt crisis and keeping another recession at bay they're expected to tell banks to accept that the greek debt will never be paid in full and instead they should raise new capital to deal with the losses this week violent clashes broke out in aphids where people fed up with more austerity measures vented their anger in ati's surfer was there. processes become a regular occurrence very very behind the fights and think that's great probably

because of that see what that means to the people here in the country has been cut from their wages by around thirty percent in may stay said on top of. the cantons the public funding unemployment here in the country is cripplingly high and we seem to have much chance of a new generation of homeless these masses really nice things have affected everyone hearing going. on. the good. old sun five of the nation of the people who fight peacefully because we want our lives. the young and the rose and people from all walks of greek life to institute a protest the largest police to seen since the crisis began one and they survive and see three for christmas eve our rights but it wasn't to be the anger once again

boiling a there with fights breaking out not just with the police for the monks the protesters themselves 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 we cannot stand it anymore . and it's not just the protesters with an appetite for change they the vagueness past some top government officials did applies when a position then the saying he'd think 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 this school of business it is very hard to describe the feeling. of the policeman because there are two words social and professional group who are suffering great economic measures that 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 hispanic testers even theys he wanted to make their points peacefully they're arrested yet in the air i think it's very likely a very closely because this is the just a problem that affects great things right thank you that you can't think what they find right now willing to think that i think. that the people here have to wait a while longer see if anyone's now be ready to listen so. it's a race against time for the e.u. leaders to resolve the eurozone debt crisis but financial analysts patrick young says any idea they come up with will be obsolete but i think we're actually coming close to the end because ultimately the greek economy is in such a mess there is simply nothing can be done i mean what we're trying to do here is take the world's most obese 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 that the greek real ways for example i mean the salary bill something like a hundred million euros the total amount of income is like one hundred million euros in total 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 caps no matter of belt tightening is going to change it now 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 bought. more world news in grief for you now here on twenty one minutes past the hour in the russian capital a seven point three magnitude earthquake has struck the city of van in eastern

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 was with his father when he was shot just three weeks ago visiting an old bed and pillage in south western observe minority living in time and place i was waiting for him in a car i saw him coming out of the all being in cafeteria. gunshots and my dad fell down i watched him i was worried he guided mediately i didn't even say goodbye to him. w. bush shows us his wounds he was shocked when his father's killer is try to eliminate the only witness i will never return to cloyd's guilty so me i'm worrying about my family and myself in a separate incident just last week another an aunt sarah was killed in a cold front with a local these two men together with their friend mere drug they follow the big

reform their country and improve its standing in the west mr blair will reportedly be paid twelve point five million dollars for his services political analyst jim brown says that blair only cares about acquiring more wealth. blair has that reputation of being quite you know it's three mercenary and he has his finger in so many pies as soon as he left office he went to work for j.p. morgan bank. some astronomical some like half a million or a million pounds in here only i think company tony blair associates he's got his finger in various other pies and as far as being middle east envoy i suspect that he's this he's that he's run out of quotas militant and i think it probably kept on as middle east envoy because the embarrassment of sacking him would be greater than the virus mother keeping him on but he's so overtly pro israeli for example in many people's eyes he whenever he goes back to the iraq inquiry because that's going on

in london he simply uses it as a platform to promote. healing with iran the urgency of dealing with iran so i think he feels he can just go off and make lots and lots of money and he might be the right person to advise people how to make lots and lots of money jim brown there and it's bring you an update on our breaking news story this hour there's been an attack on a convoy carrying the president of russia's republic of english here in his back of course bodyguards were attacked by a single gunman one of the guards was wearing did and is now in hospital the suspect was also wounded and is in custody if could have himself was unharmed and he addressed the media saying this was not an assassination attempt english president survived a roadside bombing two and a half years ago which put him in hospital for seven weeks that's updating you on our breaking news story this hour. i don't know if the occupy wall street movement going to change the face of america well that's the question we're
