latest news on the week's top stories in r.t. a bloodstained end to an era in libya with allegations colonel gadhafi was executed by the interim government's troops. breaking point this week columns clashes erupted in greece as people were hit with more sturdy measures e.u. leaders up against the clock to try and resolve the debt crisis. battle over barricades nato forces failed to remove the disputed serbia kosovo border exactly it's a scar the blockade to stop the peacekeepers advance. with a look back at the past seven days top stories and the latest developments this is the weekly on r.t. the libyan interim government has declared the symbolic liberation of the country following the death of kind of gadhafi he was gunned down in 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 and it video portrays a man boasting that he shot gadhafi twice during his capture a claim is supported by a post mortem which discovered to put holes in 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 a constitution of the post gadhafi future looks uncertain as ethnic and tribal divisions emerge among libyans once united in revolution and then as nato which is winding down its military intervention well its members rushed to secure lucrative oil deals with the new libyan authorities in the snowy is in tripoli with more. not too long ago it was handshakes and hugs now it's his head and feet and his family and a lot of. foreign involvement fact that he was always portrayed as a great guy who you also played a lot of food. with the western powers. graphic gruesome footage of exactly went

viral as news of his death spread after months of being number one and made a list under the banner humanitarian mission. we came we saw died. and t.c. claims he was killed in crossfire but edited video begs to differ here clearly wiping one from his head then clearly dead took a look at those movies into the footage shown on t.v. proves that he was captured alive and wounded and also about he was killed. although pressure is growing for an investigation find out if it's down from died as clinton put it or was executed the u.n. human rights organization should all push not only for investigation.

and certainly the lynching of many of the libyan numbers of the. support. but also the warnings that inflicted in libya that destroyed so many of libya's infrastructure and also so many libyan civilians who died who were killed in the. alliance of prisoners 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 by. it's 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 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 importantly united in hatred for the dow thirty might not stand together now that he's gone all these these different groups who were held together but something that was a feat and that's gone away you can redirect their anger and ensure there and i think. chaos ensues and political instability there's a lot of people looking back on libya and their spirit and change you back for now and that is not celebrations continued throughout the week of cross look country and it seems few people here are really thinking about the future of libya without gadhafi it really means for them a country with no bigger a lot of weapons and even more oil reporting from tripoli and he's now a r.t. . and he's keeping us updated with the latest from tripoli online as well and we

have to do is head toward his twitter stream to keep track of her account of events in post libya. jordan greece professor who told me earlier that he thinks that libyans have nothing to celebrate because the in toil uprising against gadhafi has been hijacked by nato and its mercenaries. it was not that evolution i mean they claimed it was that evolution started the revolutions. and that not only in this part of the world but but in historical study speaking this cannot be described as evolution it was some sort of a coup de tat there where you have the military computer back by nato and actually nato. nato actually under the pretext of helping civilians or protecting civilians waged a war against libya both the infrastructure of this state the institutions the ordinary civilians and the reports 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 what they've done with these armed gangs but not revolution i think their message that it's. over in syria the death of colonel gadhafi sparked a fresh wave of antigovernment protests calling for president bashar assad to step down dozens more people reportedly shot dead as troops loyal to damascus cracked down on the demonstrators every three thousand are said to have been killed in the country since march but the artist 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 it's one of the messages on the wall he's real and the u.s. were able to buy you with a thousand dollars says another. this is where several opposition leaders work like abdel aziz al fired he had been a vocal critic and had spent forty years in jail and very bad time he recalls like many opposition members he thinks there's really very little room for me conciliation under the current environment. because troops

must be withdrawn. clear voice is the regime i don't know. list. he insists this week protesters were forced to respond to attacks by security forces but the acknowledges that now it's simply not black and white response ability for the violence goes both ways. but this killing civilians some civilians killing. soldiers they are son was one of the first soldiers killed since protests began of the country he was killed in daraa on march twenty three. all foreign media knowledge that too many of the army and national guard lost their lives so how can some people see that on good state existed he could knapp's these civilians and only members like my son how could all new 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 like to believe that amid this atmosphere of confusion and misinformation the question for reforms continues what's a lingering better forms this is another question whenever a new legislation is made we see an escalation of the security situation in syria and they can buy the guns but we cannot absolutely blame on the government as i mean some circles trying to provoke a forces for both sides are calling for dialogue to sit down and talk with the syrians themselves agree that if this crisis is to be resolved the foundation of trust should be first laid out but with each threat order that syria will spoil the rise in an already widening political gap. damascus.

coming our way this hour in r.t. the class gap devouring the u.s. . as dozens of people arrested across america for peaceful anti corporate demonstrations anger towards the so-called one percent keeps on growing. exchange for a thousand palestinian prisoners on an israeli soldier comes home after five years in captivity but it's left some families feeling their lost children have been forgotten. the story still to come but first european leaders been holding crucial talks in brussels aimed at resolving the region's debt crisis and keeping another recession and they're pushing on 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 that's across livewell cheap brussels across from the new bushel daniel it's

a race against time isn't it for european leaders to resolve this ongoing crisis so what have they actually achieved now. well any talk of greece exiting this crisis properly have gone out of the window and with the record writing on the streets of athens the e.u. leaders are putting pressure on to cancel on their huge loans to greece and they are huge the latest news is that the national greece will reach one hundred ninety one percent of g.d.p. next year and of course that's so completely unsustainable charities so obviously resisting these moves they say that if some bureaucrat's can. just like that then the world lending market will simply dry up more you leaders knew there wouldn't be an agreement crisis meeting that's going on at the moment and already before this summit took place was saying that there will be an extra extraordinary summit by

wednesday rather being their plans for a european economic government with a single leader but i understand a new link is suggesting that it might be created sooner than later so what is the position on that. yes you leaders have agreed to create a european economic government with the eurozone summit to enforce its according to a leak that we've received is a controlled countries like italy there's been a blazing row here between prime minister silvio berlusconi who reportedly refused any more national there and see measures that happened. saturday night with germany's i'm glad merkel now germany says that spain has taken these spending cuts so why should it's only do the same to get their house in order also the public realm between france and germany is worrying investors for a big part it's already it's hundreds of billions of euros but it wants more. potential any potential failures in the eurozone. they could be more countries

next whereas germany germany's angela merkel is well aware that the german taxpayers will have to pay for any such bailouts and. pushing for those come to try and get their house in order on their own it's all german officials here are saying this whole euro zone project is starting to look like a single one way flow of cash from southern europe greeks differently of course they were having to put up with very different cuts in public services in greece enforced by inforced in brussels as our correspondent there first reports from athens. they said at the top there right there there are very very. tight fist things that's growing public angry about that see what that means that people here in the country that's being fought in that way it is buyer out that people sent him

a space on top of that. and ten topics but i don't find any here in the country it's threateningly high and we. can do ration of these medicines. really these things have affected everyone here in play. here. and there are like. oh some five of the nation of the people who are going to fight peacefully because we want our lives. the young and the people from all walks of life to end the t.j. protest the largest police to seen since the crisis began one and they file and print first place very far it's it was instant the thank you once again boiling eva with fights breaking out not just with the police that amongst the protest is in

cells the 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 the phrase has is with an appetite to change the debate was passed from top government officials it applies to position them to say he thinks that in asia 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 the pressure t. for the riot police involved in these events you know. it is very hard to describe the feelings of the policeman because there are two a social and professional group of course suffering great economic measures of the government has to take sometimes it is really hard for them to take part in these protests as working people but once more they have to take to the streets to focus back playtest is. he wanted to make their points piece the rest of your money i

think it's going to be watching a ferry closely because this isn't just a problem that affects great situation in fact the entire year i think you can see the. ok fine to cut you right now we're going to get a three pack i think. the people here again have to wait a while longer see if anyone's now be ready to listen there's. at least one hundred two wall street protesters were arrested by police during the occupy chicago demonstration for refusing to leave a city park this comes two days after dozens of protesters were arrested in new york i just say the police responded to their peaceful rallies with unnecessary force it's been over a month since the protests against back cats and corporate greed erupted in the u.s. send us what is going to teach her explains the expanding gap between rich and the poor could have consequences for the country. a class war seemed impossible in

a country where being wealthy east part of the national green could espouse and 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 that it's only when the rich are getting ritual the middle class is collapsing class war is being waged in a way unfortunately the world saw it is winning the so-called one percent of winners are the nation's top corporations which this year the economy's very slow growth has non the less made record profits but thanks to various loopholes plenty of these corporations pay little or not being 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 catch 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 they 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 good for profit off a child dying at the same time put their parents into bankruptcy could 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 tried to put a word of objection with all of it all done all done is not your show monkey i'm

talking to these people hold on i'm not talking to you i will give you my blood talking to you personal success and money have always being part of the american dream for the rich 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 this could be the end of it and the beginning of a class war i'm going to shift our reporting from washington barkley. live from moscow this is our team with twenty four hours a day still to come visit. report on why nato warnings and to gas oil is enough to get ethnic serbs to remove their current cade's next to the disputed so because of a border. the first is being held the historic middle east prisoner exchange with over a thousand palestinians being swapped for just one israeli soldier following a massive campaign for his release was freed after being health of five years in

captivity by hamas but his homecoming has left many jewish families feeling bitter as paula smith has been finding out. if we date announce new one. he comes here to a place that looks after israeli soldiers who are alone in the country who come from difficult backgrounds the being here is often more of a comfort to him and the youngsters he hopes because it brings him that little bit closer to his son mashpee who disappeared one year before pilate shalit was taken hostage we are modern or must have sadness over and over again the government and the country are not doing enough. and gave to the saudi family here are at the moment seven israeli soldiers who've been kidnapped or who are missing in action and as news sun majesty disappeared while hitchhiking to his army base major want to ride was captured twenty five years ago after his a craft was shot down of eleven on these of 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 improving it's inacceptable 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 and lebanon and syria just bring it but they've brought us nothing. so certain her son is still alive and while she's pleased to be allowed is coming home she's just allusion to a new government that made it possible for him but not for her son. it's about media attention b.r. how he wants now he succeeded in marketing their son we saw it as a family this was a growl as we thought it was enough the guy was an i.d.f. soldier in uniform but we were wrong very very wrong. and then.
