1:02 pm
of gadhafi went viral as news of his death spread after months of being number one and nato hitlist under the banner humanitarian mission oh 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 that show here clearly wiping blood from his head then clearly dead look at those movies and the footage shown on t.v. proves that he was captured alive and wounded and after that he was killed. although pressure is growing for an investigation to find out if gadhafi died as clinton put it or was executed by the u.n. the human rights organization should all push not only for investigation of the death of gadhafi and certainly the looting woman. you know there are libyan numbers
1:03 pm
of the. support to gadhafi but also the bombings that they've inflicted in libya that destroyed so many of libya's infrastructure and also so many libyans 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 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
1:04 pm
schools the hospitals the the water supply and a country united in hatred for gadhafi 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 really direct 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 and we're back where now and that is not that great celebrations continued 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 a lot of weapons and even more oil reporting from tripoli and he's now a r.t. . and he says keeping us updated with the latest from tripoli online is. well in
1:05 pm
you can head to our t.'s twitter stream to keep track of her account of events in post gadhafi libya and the british m.p. jeremy corbyn thinks the killing of gadhafi slams the credibility of libya's new authorities who will now find themselves challenge to maintain order in the country there is this footage of him apparently in the back of a truck in the town surrounded by a very angry mob of the assumption i guess is that he was killed by this mob sometime shortly after that he should have been treated as a prisoner of war take him interviewed interrogated and put on trial and then the due process would have taken place it only looks when he was indeed killed in the back of a truck and this really does raise some question marks about the command and 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
1:06 pm
a democratic government in libya there is need for an investigation into human rights difficulties and abuses in the past but there's an awful lot of an awful lot of irregular forces out there otherwise the alternative is some ghastly descent into war with all the many armaments that there are there already in libya and be germy cool when they're coming your way this hour here on r.t. will report on why nato warnings and gas to get ethnic serbs to remove their barricades next to the disputed because of a border. that's still to come but first 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 there were three thousand a said to have been killed in the country since march but at least has a similar reports from syria both sides of the conflict have plenty of blood on their hands. this is the office of the trader reads one of the messages on the wall

1:08 pm
the first soldiers killed since protests began in the country he was killed in on march twenty three. foreign media acknowledged that too many of the army and national guards have lost their lives so how can some people see that on groups didn't exist to these civilians and members like my son the members killed 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 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 that 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 and the killing by the guns but we cannot absolutely put the blame on the

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 hard when the rich are getting richer all the middle class is collapsing class war is being waged in america today fortunately the wrong side is winning the so-called one percent of winners are the nation's top corporations which this year amid 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.
