5:02 pm
c claims he was killed in crossfire but edited video begs to differ show 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 u.n. human rights organization should all push not only for investigation. and certainly the lynching of many of the libyan. that 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 who were killed in the. alliance officials claim the mission in libya is coming to him
5:03 pm
and 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 and that we were held together but one thing and that was a trigger. and that's gone away you can redirect their anger at each other and i

5:05 pm
a revolution i mean they claimed it was a revolution i have studied the revolutions. not only in this part of the world but but in history you know historically speaking this cannot be described as a revolution it was some sort of a coup de tat there where you have the military coup de tat backed by nato and actually the nato or. 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 that evolution 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. over in syria the death of colonel gadhafi sparked a fresh wave of anti-government protests calling for president bashar assad to step down dozens more people were reportedly shot dead his troops loyal to damascus
5:06 pm
cracked down on the demonstrators over three thousand said to have been killed in the country since march but as 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 reads 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 like . he had 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 must meet with their backs. is a regime that i know. is listening to people. he insists peaceful protesters were forced to respond to attacks by security forces
5:07 pm
but he acknowledges that now it's simply not black and white responsibility for the violence goes both ways. this killing civilians some civilians killing. soldiers yes 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 the members like my son how could all mean members kill other members this is impossible the media that says it is plain lying. and very 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
5:08 pm
misinformation the push for reforms continues what's angering very forms this is another question whenever a new legislation is made we see an escalation of the security situation. given by the guns but we cannot absolutely put the blame on the government as i mean some circles are 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 the rising already widening political gap. does are still you are to damascus. with life here in moscow twenty four hours a day coming your way this hour the class devouring the u.s. . as dozens of people arrested across america for peaceful and corporate demonstrations anger towards the

so-called one percent keeps on growing. european leaders have been holding crucial talks in brussels aimed at resolving the region's debt crisis and keeping another recession at bay and 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 artie's daniel bushell. the national debt of greece will reach one hundred eighty one percent of g.d.p. next year and of course that's completely unsustainable banks and so they're not charities so they're obviously resisting these moves they say that if some bureaucrat loans just like that then the world lending market will simply draw up that's why you leaders knew there wouldn't be an agreement crisis meeting and already before this summit took place was saying that there will be an extra extraordinary summits by wednesday and according to a leak that we've received leaders have agreed to create
5:10 pm
a european economic government with regular eurozone summits to enforce it is to control countries like italy there's been a blazing row here between prime minister silvio berlusconi who reportedly refused any more national measures also the public realm between france and germany is worrying investors france wants a bigger bailout port it's already a tongue hundreds of billions of euros but it wants more to rescue any potential any potential failures in the eurozone. 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 the german officials here are saying this 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 difficult cuts in public services in greece enforced by athens enforced in brussels as our correspondent
5:11 pm
sara first reports from athens. i think. it's a bad people here in. iraq and it may stay on top of that. the pension cuts the public funding unemployment here in the country is cripplingly high and we see in the emergence of a new generation of homeless these measures really these seem to have affected everyone hearing great oh i can. hear. that good. and. oh sorry five one of the nice one of the people who want to fight peacefully because we want our lives. the young and the people from all walks of quique
5:12 pm
life joins the today protest largest police is seen since the crisis began one of the most violent referred police very far it's but it wasn't to be the anger once again boiling eva with fights breaking out not just with the police but in months the protesters themselves rick society is facing a social disaster for the past two years we've received austerity package after austerity package people are beyond their breaking point they cannot stand it anymore. and it's not just the protesters with an appetite for change they'd say it's passed some top government officials did applies when a position and the saying he thinks that in the business struggling with his clinch ends he's not the only one speaking to police major after the protests at the start of the month tell me that the pressure today for the riot police involved in these
5:13 pm
events you know. it is very hard to describe the feelings of the policeman because there are two a social and a professional group of course 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 working people but once more they had to take to the streets to protest by protesters even days he wanted to make their point p. . for the rest of the year than the year i think it's going to be watching this very closely because this isn't just a problem that affects great it is a situation that thank you so you can see what the people in the country right now willing to go to have everything. the people here are going to have to wait a while longer see if anyone's now going to be ready to listen. party. well for more now are joined by peer gullah he's a professor of political science at parris west university nanterre. with very
5:14 pm
little progress seemingly made during the summit and another one showed for wednesday do you believe that euro zone leaders can really reach any agreement a tall on this latest crisis well obviously as your previous reports show and they are. cracks took over and disagreements you can transcend germany but the main thing the report from greece shows it's great now europe is insisting on. austerity programs that are not going to be a solution so europe seems to be going from one summit to the next and solving nothing all the. discussion around this summit it seems that european leaders are edging closer to becoming relisted on some points notably the. program in greece it's impossible for greek greece to pay back except
5:15 pm
you mentioned franks and germany those two countries appear to have taken on the the self-appointed mantle of leaders of the e.u. yet here we are those two countries failing to agree on key details themselves now what kind of leadership is this i mean is this not indicative of the fact that the lack of political unity is really at the heart of the e.u. and i'm not just talking between about the the relationship between france and germany all the other politicians to. yeah it's quite true there is a democratic deficit and the same time that this friend current german leadership of europe which is probably problematic because of the disagreements between the leaders of crimes of the leaders of germany and also sometimes their public opinion or the banks are supporting the various governments so all this all the discussions are happening in a kind of flux uncertainty and so on but there's no debate in the european parliament ignore that it would both solution to not only be on greece now but also
5:16 pm
have a kind of. sciri now to do with fiscal and monetary policy ok what about the implications of bailing greece out talk of something like fifty percent of their debt being written off but what impact will this have on the banks and could this not really spark international financial turmoil it's police surely unsustainable to snow. well yeah it's unsustainable sterrett it program in greece and italy in spain in portugal everywhere in europe i mean there's we know there's going to be new consumption anywhere in the u.s. and china are pushing europe to words. adopting a solution because they're american banks are also exposed exponents you know european banks insurance in the u.s. and so on so there is the possibility of international crime or but right now what neo liberals that come up with the level of europe is more for everyone so the
5:17 pm
greeks more financial toll more than what it was before greece now are worse situation than it was two years ago more austerity for everybody but also this idea that more economic control over the member states it sounds like a good idea but are we really going to see those member countries happy to see brussels controlling the way they tax their people the way they conduct their own public expenditure will they really want to lose that autonomy. it's very unlikely i can see countries saying no we want to be totally dependent upon decisions taken in brussels so. at diadem are on the one hand it would be a good thing or a common currency and so on but on the other hand there are so many other issues and i don't think member states that are powerful enough like france or germany would accept orders from brussels and even a country like greece which is a small country small economy and so are they don't seem to be ready to accept. all
5:18 pm
their orders from brussels so right now i think we should listen to people in the us and how to khinjan programs. throughout europe rather stereotype programs throughout europe you talked about china a little earlier of course it has been talk of attracting funds from china and other emerging economies to to help grapple with this european recession do you really think though that help could come to europe from asia what are china will not help europe will free because there are no free lunches international economics . china. is already helping greece by hanging some properties so it's helping you know well but it's also taking over are some aspects. of the greek economy so if things are i would think that this kind of help it's also help that
5:19 pm
could be very very expensive for europe as an all in the long term which will ensure the chinese find in short that germany in the not so distant future just very briefly and finally your professor of political science what are the political ramifications of all of this we're seeing those protests in greece we've seen protests in other european cities and of course these strikes which will obviously be even more damaging to economies what are the political impact political implications particularly on these governments at the moment when we see governments collapsing. well in some countries it's not impossible or greece is a case in point but if the same thing happens in italy the government is terribly unpopular. the government is also a. pillar and you have movements that are in our minority movements but there are people protesting in the streets making getting stronger and stronger so they could be political turmoil on top of the financial turmoil yes ok thanks very much for
5:20 pm
your thoughts as always it's good to chat to you dear girl and professor of political science of paris with universities and a lot of hands thanks a lot of our. well at least one hundred ninety 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 activists say police responded to the peaceful rallies with unnecessary force it's been over a month since the protests against cats and corporate greed erupted in the u.s. as he's got to explains the expanding gap between rich and the poor could have dark consequences for the country. a class war seemed impossible in a country where being wealthy is part of the national dream but as thousands 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 ask whether america is facing
5:21 pm
a class war that it's hard when the rich are getting richer while the middle class is collapsing class war is being waged in america today on fortunately the wrong saudi 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 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 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
5:22 pm
gave them economies same erika's largest corporations are sitting on more than three trillion dollars and not investing in the economy an employee. and 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 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 wall street will be nobody helped create jobs but as one of the protesters tried to put a word of objection 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 you through your personal success and money have always being part of the american dream free. the aspiration to become rich is deeply ingrained in american society and widely promoted by pop
5:23 pm
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 check our reporting from washington our team. more world news in brief for you now in our world updated very nearly twenty four hour here now seven point three magnitude earthquake has struck the city of bam in eastern turkey close to the border with iran authorities claim at least eighty five people have been killed and over one hundred fifty injured after some eighty buildings collapsed in the area including several hotels and a student dormitory have been reports of power loss disruption to telephone lines and even a prison break out in the quake hit region three military planes have taken off from the capital ankara for van carrying aid and supplies with the red cross at the scene the aftershocks are also felt in iran armenia and georgia the turkish prime minister is on his way to the affected region. afghan president hamid karzai said his country would back pakistan if it ever went to war with the us
