2:01 pm
due to be held in libya within eight months of bought a formation of a new government and the drafting a constitution i have a 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 and the tsunami is in tripoli with more. not so long ago it with handshakes and hugs now it's his head. and his family and a lot of tales. of foreign involvements and fact that though he was always portrayed as a great guy who you also played a lot of footsie and banking with the western powers. graphic gruesome footage of gadhafi went viral as news of his death spread after months of being number one nato hit list under the banner humanitarian mission. we came we saw he died there didn't have anything to do with your visit.
2:02 pm
libya and t.c. claims he was killed in crossfire but edited video begs to differ that show here clearly wiping one from his head then they leave dead look at that and we salute the footage shown on t.v. proves that he was captured alive and wounded and after that he was killed. so the pressure is growing for an investigation to find out if gadhafi 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 members of the. support the gadhafi but also the bombings that they thought inflicted in libya the droid so many of libya's infrastructure and also so many libyans. billions who died
2:03 pm
in the u.s. who were killed in the first three 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 it'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 bombed the infrastructure having destroyed the 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 were held together but one thing that was
2:04 pm
a trigger. and now that's gone away you can redirect their anger at each other and i think. 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 the great celebrations continued throughout the week crossing the 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 and he's now a party. and he's keeping us updated with the latest from tripoli online as well and we have to do is head to twitter stream to keep track of her account of events in post could have a libya. jordan based professor who told me earlier that he thinks that libyans have nothing to celebrate because the entire uprising against gadhafi has been hijacked by nato and its most recent. it was not
2:05 pm
a revolution i mean they claimed it was a revolution started the revolutions. not only in this part of the world but in history you know historically speaking this cannot be described as a revolution it was some sort of a coup d'etat where you have a military coup d'etat backed 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 the institutions and the ordinary civilians reports say that tens of thousands of libyans were killed now that cannot be described as a revolution it's an occupation and the gangs the armed gangs we've seen what they've done with gadhafi these armed gangs are not revolution i think they're mercenaries. in syria the death of colonel gadhafi sparked a fresh wave of government protests calling for president bashar assad to step down
2:06 pm
dozens more people reportedly shot dead as troops loyal to damascus cracked down on the demonstrators over three thousand a said to have been killed in the country since march resulting 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 israel and the u.s. were able to buy you with a thousand dollars says another. this is where several opposition leaders work. he had been a vocal critic and had spent fourteen years in jail 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 must be withdrawn. is a regime that i know of. listening to people. he insists peaceful protesters were forced to respond to attacks by security forces
2:07 pm
but he acknowledges that now it's simply not black and white responsibility for the violence goes both ways. killing civilians but we have some civilians killing. soldiers 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 . the civilians and army members like my son how could all mean members kill other members this is impossible the media that says it is plain lying. and variant 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 hear only arguments from one side you'll likely believe that amid this atmosphere of
2:08 pm
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 the blame on the government as i mean some circles trying to propagate the 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 down but with each threat or death syria respond to rising already widening political gap. does are still your r.t. damascus. coming your way the class devouring the u.s. . as dozens of people arrested across america for peaceful anti corporate demonstrations and anger

towards the so-called one percent keeps on growing. exchange for a thousand palestinian prisoners an israeli soldier comes home after five years in captivity but it's left some families feeling their lost children have been forgotten. their stories still to come but first european leaders have been holding crucial talks in brussels aimed at resolving the region's debt crisis and keeping another recession 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 let's cross live now to brussels across from the new bushel down it's a race against time isn't it for european leaders to resolve this ongoing debt 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.
2:10 pm
leaders are putting pressure on to cancel on their huge loans to greece and they are huge the latest news is that the national the greece will reach one hundred ninety one percent of g.d.p. next year and of course that's completely unsustainable banks on to the not charities so they're obviously resisting these moves and they say that if some bureaucrat can. just like that then the world limby market will simply dry up that's why you leaders knew there wouldn't be an agreement these 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 there being their plans for a european economic government with a single leader but i understand a new leak is suggesting that it might be created sooner than later so what is the position on that. yes leaders have agreed to create a european economic government with the eurozone summit to enforce its according to
2:11 pm
a leak that we've received is to control countries like italy there's been a blazing row here between prime minister silvio berlusconi who reportedly refused any more national austerity measures that happened. saturday night with germany's. 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 between france and germany is worrying investors. it's already a ton of billions of euros but it wants more to rescue any potential any potential failures in the eurozone and. they could be more countries next whereas germany germany's angela angela merkel is well aware that the german taxpayers will have to pay for any such bailouts and she's pushing for those countries to try and get their house in order on their own. all in all german officials here are saying this
2:12 pm
whole eurozone project is starting to look like a single one way flow of cash from berlin to southern europe ordinary greeks see differently of course they are having to put up with very different cuts in public services in greece why inforced in brussels as our correspondent sara first reports from athens. they say that because they're right there there are very very high in these fights this thing that's driving public anger that is there see what that means to the people here in the west bank that wait a fire out that people sent in may say hey stay on top of that. the pension pot the public's. unemployment here in the country is cripplingly high and we. have a new generation of these messes. really these things have affected everyone here in kuwait. i've been. here almost up there.

2:14 pm
is passed from top government officials did applies when a position then the saying 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 it's a pressure t.v. for the riot police involved in these events you know the school or the system it is very hard to describe the feelings 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 me 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 that playtest is in the days he wanted to make their point peacefully the rest of europe and the i think it's going to be watching a ferry closely because this isn't just a problem that affects great it is a situation that affects the entire year and so you can see why. the people in the country right now willing to train to have that point that. the people here are
2:15 pm
going to have to wait a while longer see if anyone can now be ready to listen. to. at least one hundred twenty 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 but to say the police responded to the peaceful rallies with unnecessary force it's been over a month since the protests against crack cats and corporate greed erupted in the us what is going to cut 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 dream but a spouse and march on wall street and in other parts of america protesting against the system that they claim works only for the benefit of the 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 while the middle class
2:16 pm
is collapsing class war is being waged in america today fortunately the old saw eye 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 but thanks to various loopholes many of these corporations pay little or nothing in 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. of the company said speech 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 the economy same erika's largest
2:17 pm
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 can 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 holds great jobs but as one of the protesters tried to put a word of objection we call 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 success and money have always being part of the american dream when you reach 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
2:18 pm
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 washington our to. live from moscow this is with the twenty four hours a day still to come. forth on why nato warnings and gas aren't enough to get ethnic serbs to remove the barricades next to the disputed so because of a border. because it's been held a historic middle east prisoner exchange with over a thousand palestinians being swapped for just one israeli soldier following a massive campaign for his release gilad shalit was freed after being held for five years in captivity by us but his homecoming is left many jewish families feeling bitter as has been finding out. if we date nights me a lot. he comes here to a place that looks after israeli soldiers who are alone in the country who come
2:19 pm
from difficult backgrounds but being here is often more of a comfort to him than the youngsters he hopes because it brings him that little bit closer to his son mashpee who disappeared one year before gilad shalit was taken hostage we are modern or must have served this over and over again the government and the country are not doing enough for minority leaders the media has the option it gave to the soviet family there are at the moment seven israeli soldiers who've been kidnapped or who missing in action nazmi son measure disappeared while hitchhiking to his army base major want to ride was captured twenty five years ago off his aircraft was shot down over lebanon these of the last pictures of him alive taken in a prison in iran guy have a disappeared fourteen years ago he was last seen at his army base one kilometer from the syrian border. it's infuriating it's an acceptable that after fourteen years the government still has nothing to tell us our demand is that the government
2:20 pm
bring us any information alive dead here in lebanon and syria just bring it but they've brought us nothing. so certain her son is still alive and while she's pleased gilad is coming home she's disillusioned in a government that made it possible for him but not for her son. living there. it's about media attention p.r. how do i it's nearly succeeded in marketing their son we saw it as a family this wasn't relevant we thought it was enough the guy was an i.d.f. soldier in uniform but we were wrong very very wrong. this is a country that depends on its army for its survival is an unwritten code that every soldier who goes to war must be brought back home that's what the heart of the free gilad shalit campaign for nearly two years here for. family in the fulton county yes in front of the prime minister's office every morning when netanyahu left his
2:21 pm
home he was reminded about the soldier who could not return to his beloved i'm not embarrassed to say that the government and the country are not doing enough for my son and the rest of those missing in action it is important for us to bring our soldiers home disappearance was sanderson's to war we need to know that the country will do everything possible to get them back org it's done just that in the case of gilad shalit but at what cost will militants now be empowered to kidnap and nothern israeli soldier and will israel be willing to pay this price again. more world news in brief for you now in our world update a seven point three magnitude quake has struck the city of van in eastern turkey close to the border with iran authorities say at least eighty five have been killed and over one hundred fifty injured after some eighty buildings collapsed in the area including several hotels and a student dormitory there are also reports of power loss and disruption to
