and welcome back you are watching our team live from moscow russia's capital with a roundup of the week's top stories let's get right to those right now with colonel gadhafi silenced forever his most influential son is now looking to hand him self over to the international criminal court where he's wanted for war crimes say fall islam claims he is innocent and threatens to reveal murky details of western leaders dealings with his father parties either bennett explains. to some market deaf people demand too much secrets which will supposedly he bury it with him i think that there were tremendous sighs of relief all over capitals in western europe this is somebody who cut all sorts of deals with the french but also the british and the italians and to a certain extent the americans as well i think they did not want him put on trial

for any reason and i am not misled is that surprised that he was captured alive if you very quickly ended up dead is that gadhafi is returning from diplomatic akes all was spectacular hugs handshakes and kisses from the heads of countries which denounced him gadhafi is now silenced but the suspicion around those who laid out the welcome mat is far from buried gadhafi has his grave to see with but the. dealing with him is constant and it. will go way over seriously because that is also the situation was fishing will probably grow shrinks it may or sharon acutely into a situation where they could never as it were through their news then british prime minister tony blair was instrumental in get the f.e.c. rehabilitation bringing him in from the cold in two thousand and seven that play didn't leave empty handed trade between flourished so did the cozy relationship

there was six more secret meetings off the player left office his people denying they were about releasing the lucky boma abdel baset al mcgraw he or britain would lose its lucrative libyan deals i regret myself enormously that gadhafi was but should he should have been said to the international criminal court put all the trial and force to all it's a question through all the terrible things he did and if it davidge viva contemporary world leaders or previous regimes leaders tough. we need to go. walk. with people some details of the murky dealings have already emerged claiming the reputation of one of britain's leading universities the london school of economics agreed to contract with the good acting regime worth over two million pounds to educate hundreds of its future civil servants the director was forced to resign and now the university of tripoli is

demanding the money back french leader nicolas sarkozy was never shy in greeting good daffyd even letting him pitch his tent in nearly safe palace apparently for bankrolling sarkozy's path to the presidency so says this man the one who could still tell all that because he had never had sarkozy must give back the money he took from libya to finance his electoral campaign we funded it and we have all the details and are ready to reveal everything had. saif al islam gadhafi son and key right hand man reportedly ready to surrender to the war crimes court so you've is going to have a lot information and i think we're so used that tony blair intervened formed to help him get his dodgy ph d. degree from the london school of economics one. degree or apparently was plagiarized there's a lot of things that have gone on that so you knows about daffy's wanted to answer for his own actions in libya is drawn out battle for control but it's what he could

reveal about the diplomatic deals with his father keeping the western power players sweating after bennett r.t. london. libyan resident. fled the city of syria to days before colonel gadhafi was killed there he claims that nato has committed atrocities during its intervention which only helped to destabilize his country. they used every possible thing to do to make this so-called revolution successful they used gunships. helicopters they used fighters all sorts of weapons that the they had disposal so they can. make this successful so they've killed so many people to succeed in this operation moshtarak i don't think it's a success because if it was a success the libyan with been so happy about it i doubt very much there's

a big divide in libya there's a huge gap now between libyans. i mean parts or partially because of nato interference partially because of let's be honest and say partially because of gadhafi. but but the way they killed gadhafi the way they treated him the way they bombed my city. which i have a lot of civilians inside it who were killed as well i mean this just. generates anger and generates revenge. which in the future would be the fuel of another war in libya which i think it will be sooner or later. it's intervention in libya it's leaving behind a country. and

now on to israel where recent airstrikes on gaza have left at least ten palestinians dead the action came in response to rocket attacks on the jewish state that left one dead it is the worst outbreak of violence in months and follows a successful prisoner swap deal between israel and hamas. brings us the details from tel aviv. one of the concerns people have is that among the hundreds of palestinian prisoners who are still in these radio jails and who still need to be released as part of that prisoner exchange deal that saw one israeli soldier return to israel in exchange for more than a thousand palestinian prisoners many of the palestinian prisoners who still need to be released belong to the democratic front for the liberation of palestine and that is one of the more palestinian groups that has claimed responsibility for

a number of these rockets that have been fired into israel in recent days so there are many people here saying that this does jeopardize that prisoner exchange deal and that it will be almost a convenient excuse for these rabies not to release the hundreds of palestinian prisoners that it is still committed to release as part of the deal there were more than twenty thousand people that took to the streets of tel aviv they were not surprised by the violence they say that this is something that has happened in the past and it is the government's way of detracting attention away from domestic problems and certainly if you look at the international media coverage the international media was much more focused on what was happening in terms of security concerns and on israel's border with gaza and then on what was happening domestically here and this is exactly what protesters say they say that they want money to not be spent so much on the on the defense budget but full cuts they have to be made so that more money can be spent domestically in search of me this increase in violence and the government's response in terms of the fact that it is

going to give gaza a harsh hand to tracks attention away from what people here say is the ongoing situation where they have very real demands that are more often than not by the excuse all the security concerns are there and staying with television wary court has sentenced a former israeli soldier to a four and a half year prison sentence for releasing classified military documents some of the leaked files detail military officials approving the assassination of palestinians in the west bank but those claims are being investigated legal experts says that undermines israeli law. in this case a whistle blower blew a loud and disturbing whistle the military is violating international law and the directors of the israeli supreme court in carrying out assassinations in situations in which they are required to try to make an arrest and so the state attorney's office prosecuted the soldier but failed to seriously investigate the conduct revealed in those documents conduct with raises serious questions about rule of law

in a democratic system that pattern of behavior of violating by the supreme court because of a supreme court said that if that said you must try to arrest is part of a pattern of practice within the israeli system and it's something that's very disturbing because when the army does not obey orders by the supreme court the supreme court is actually more reluctant to issue those orders because no court wants to issue orders that are going to be ignored and then of course you have a serious threat to the rule of law because in a democratic system the army is of course supposed to listen to what you. tell them to do. in an interview with a russian television station syrian president bashar al assad says he is willing to cooperate with all opposition parties that have emerged during the seven month uprising against his reign but he also raised questions about the true nature of the forces that are fighting against his regime. as a day we have hundreds of soldiers police and security forces among the dead were how were they killed with it during peaceful demonstrations or because some slogans

being shouted no they were shot and this means we're dealing with armed people who represent your position with a possible and i believe this question will be answered after the elections and gold of new parties in merged and local and parliamentary elections will take place soon and this will give us an answer and show who exactly represents the people of this regarding us evolve we corporate little political forces with the old and new that emerged during the crisis because we believe that a corporation is a very important thing for you don't it it turman who has support of your talk and who doesn't and we will have a more precise answer to that with you after the election with them and that as we believe will take place in february of next year and what we don't know whether the weapons reach syria from israel or any other state that possesses such weapons but there is evidence of mines in grenades and they were put in places all packed with civilians and i can feel that in this letter casualties in

a number of cases of the mines also targeted security personnel police officers and soldiers their work ace's of using anti-tank mine was above these are new and very dangerous facts i thought now after seven months down the line since the beginning of the people in syria he was as accurate but not detailed information like the investigation shows that there was an arms smuggling to syria from neighboring states the campaign was funded by foreign investors and we have a list of those who are responsible for this. assad also warned the west that intervening in his country will cause an earthquake that will tear the middle east the statement comes as the diplomats meet top syrian officials to promote dialogue between authorities and the opposition meanwhile the united nations says more than three thousand have been killed in the country since the start of protests in march and call on the syrian leader to end the violence but dissident syrian writer and a democracy campaigner. thinks most people don't want and military solution to the

crisis. are against military intervention whether it's a day to morrow or in ten years' time even if the regime is to every one of us would still be against military intervention we fight for freedom and we don't want to add external slavery to our domestic law we don't want it to become a part of the struggle between the international and internal forces syrians are peaceful they want to progress under conditions of freedom and development and they don't want to turn into a concentration camp a public on philology countries scores of demonstrators supporting the occupy wall street movement have been arrested across the u.s. riot police in denver moved in detaining activists who refused to leave their camp earlier police used pepper spray to disperse the crowds at least sixty people were arrested in the state of texas oregon and california after police went in to enforce curfews removing protesters belonging and it was nature threatening

a tear gas canister that police fired had. footage of the wounded veteran and police brutality spread quickly the shock of it galvanizing the nation and the occupy movement across the country i have google says the company received requests from local law enforcement agencies to remove you tube videos of police brutality they did not comply the stronger of forcible response five establishment the stronger the movement will get the larger the protests will become the protesters through these past six weeks of being careful not to taint the movements reputation with violence by a march most reports suggest that this movement has been almost entirely peaceful but some in the u.s. media use the night of violence you know clinton to portray the protesters as radicals and more violence from the occupiers a lot of these people are professional agitators a good number of these people are radicals no doubt about it you might ask how radical was this elderly woman in

a wheelchair who was tear gassed by police or jasper father of two who's working on his ph d. at the university of california berkeley you know they characterize you know it's. the perspective of the movement as marginal and radical and friends in order to discredit it this moment really is about all americans it's not just about people that have a story we've been poor this is about now it's to the middle class that is starting to feel the impact of corporate greed that is when this. so long as the movement grows bigger and more structured it's becoming harder to ignore the message of the campaigners who call themselves the ninety nine percent and protest against corporate crime and government complicity protesters tens march through and throughout the country there will be more the movement is only expanding several weeks ago police crackdown on protesters with pepper spray this week it was tear gas and stun grenades protesters now want to hit big business where it hurts

action against wiki leaks because they were hosting this and what they may have been asked by individuals within the u.s. government. obviously one of the issues is that there aren't really any rules regarding what companies can can or cannot do with their customers companies are generally entitled to reject customers if unfortunately wiki leaks was forced to close down that we would see other sides seeking to do the same kind of thing and getting around the restrictions of wiki leaks placed. almost all the votes have been counted in kyrgyzstan's first presidential election since a bloody uprising toppled former leader coming back to kiev last spring leading the polls as the country's prime minister almost back of a wealthy businessman who's promising stability and prosperity current interim leader of the central asian nation that rose by a vote will step down later this year to make way for the winner the vote is seen as both a democratic milestone and a vital chance to repair the country's dangerous north south divide in april last year at least nine people were killed in the capital in the book you know it led to
