too many parties have interests that there's it doesn't prove that it should be closed for good the man who led the libyan uprising shares his theory about good daphne's death exclusively with our subtlety as he accuses nato of abandoning their country after ousting the old regime plus. but that is one of the issues serious to this u.n. and arab league envoy kofi annan says it's up to the syrian people themselves to decide whether president assad stays and stresses the lives and reasonable the set an artificial deadline for a solution to the country's crisis. and pressure mounts on north korea over its

controversial plan to subsidize a rocket launch as world leaders gather in seoul for a nuclear summit. hello and welcome this is our see it's eight pm here now and kevin i would with our top stories for you tonight and first a former libyan prime minister who is the driving force against moammar gadhafi during the nato campaign is accusing the west of forgetting his country after toppling colonel. told a security forum in brussels that the resulting power vacuum leaves libya open to extremists now our correspondent test for a seller i asked for his thoughts about why gadhafi was killed in an exclusive interview given to us here at r.t. . that was something a very interesting the whole world was watching when it actually happened and it's

to hear him have his theories on what could have been the cause or who was actually behind it was really very interesting listen to what he had to say there are too many parties who have interest that it doesn't talk that he should be silenced for ever. with that he was killed by a foreign entity or killed by libyans or libyans in behalf of others i really don't know. now what's interesting there is if you remember from the from the beginning he was traveling around the world visiting foreign leaders to get their support to oust the regime he was then leading the effort in the anti see against the gadhafi regime and afterwards after some. some questions arising on the death of gadhafi the way he was killed he himself cast the station and i had asked him was it a foreign power which western power were you referring to and that's what he said well right now i can say i don't know it couldn't be for at least he didn't discount the fact that it could have been. a for how we got this question from the

very beginning in fact in that the brussels forum it was a very open and i think honest. revolution and he said i am thankful for grateful for nato support and not just nato the other countries as well outside of major that are provided arms and what i want to hear now is he also came in there saying that the biggest problem in libya right now is to get the guns off the street and so it's a bit ironic we saw that ok you have the help coming in in the form of arms and now that is the biggest problem to create a civil society a democratic side that he himself has been trying to push for for the time being you have to meet with the groups. committing. some. acts which are not compatible with human rights. we're going to hold them responsible you cannot hold the government response with that because the government is not in control of those groups actually one of the main topics that we wanted to discuss with them was about islamised groups what he actually thought

of that extremism or even even archivists presence in the region will listen to what he had to say without having been in libya this. might result in extreme and if that happens the whole european continent is going to suffer from that. yes so this rice of possible extremism and could be the level it varies depending on the country we've seen in the arab spring countries the rise of such groups as as long as two groups those with the foundation of their political view and now in the international context what was interesting we asked him was how do you think the whole world or europe in the u.s. is going to react to a possibly new leader that's generally legitimately elected by the people of these countries of libya that may not be. in accordance with the interests of those countries that supported him that was a very interesting part of the interview he had shared his thoughts on those as well just recently there were a lot can tell you we've got the year full interview that mahmoud jibril gave tests

only here about twenty five minutes tonight but libya is not the only country struggling to heal the scars of revolution of course next we've got an extended report few by the fallout from the arab spring uprisings across the middle east and north africa. something good for you what is happening on the streets now is the eve of after quite a few very wild parts of the dow however i totally disagree i don't even think the ports again. we're still waiting for the actually resolution. take a look at some of the day's news north korea may not officially be on the agenda of the nuclear summit in seoul but it is something that is hard for leaders to avoid especially after barack obama's earlier warning to punish beyond yang for what he described as bad behavior over his plan satellite launch. more or by the u.s.

leaders striking a harsh tone. he arrived to south korea only off the nuclear security summit and immediately went to the militarized zones separating north and south korea and basically started making his statements they are saying that the regime has nothing to gain from threats or provocations and also criticized them for so-called bad behavior and the reason for such harsh rhetoric is the finance satellite launch which north korea is going to conduct next month now the united states japan and south korea have used this not as a satellite launch but rather as a missile test and they're opposed to it of course the united states president obama in particular seems to have used the sidelines of the nuclear security summit in order to discuss a lot of international issues but primarily it looks like the u.s. is looking to increase its presence in asia particularly in the asia pacific region

if you look at what's going on in south korea for example the base that is being built which housed u.s. naval ships you have to remember the twenty eight thousand u.s. military personnel already stationed here and there's also plans to put more than twenty five hundred military personnel in australia over the next six years so a lot of people are saying that by this harsh criticism or north korea the united states is actually showing china that it's still mighty in the region and it's keeping its presence here in asia and that it's also keeping an ever watchful eye on china u.s. presence trying to win support from china to increase pressure on north korea to. asia especially as told this is legally wrong yeah exactly. the koreans quite are correctly and distinctly nisar and went and sat right right wrong. and

fairly interesting americans got through the sanctions on korea few years back. when france and they will launch a satellite and you know you can say no no this. and out they are to be dense on the trajectory that in fact it was a satellite and. so. there is a clear distinction the common is of course a rocket which can launch a satellite is half way to being rocket launch and this are crucial differences guidance is a most locals who had to have a warhead in. the tree and had that. problem from the americans point of view is that there is absolutely nothing illegal about what you know a satellite. or thousands of satellites up in the sky why distinguish north and south like. the two day nuclear summit progress is

a mystery without the forward developments from seoul. tom explodes. and. its intentions. will be clear to. the two thousand and twelve nuclear security summit. on r.t. . the u.n. arab league envoy on syria says it's up to the people decide if president assad should step down or kofi annan is trying to promote a cease fire and political dialogue to end the year long crisis there now his latest comments come amid widespread calls from the u.s. and allies for regime change in syria let's get the latest from artie's peter all of that. kofi annan spoke to me just as he left moscow after talks with russia's leaders what exactly was said bring us up to date. well he was speaking just as exactly as he was about to leave moscow we spoke to him in the in the airport the

park just loans here now he praised russia for offering there for its full support to his six point peace plan he met with president lee smith did it as well as with the formulas this is beloved all over the weekend very happy with what they like those meetings he said though that the the key issue now is to get both sides in the syrian crisis to sit down together to put down their weapons and to talk things out now he was asked a question in the short press conference of iran he was asked should fashion under-sized be removed from power no teaching about this he said this the future of a charlatan whoever will be leading the country is only up to the syrians to decide and nobody else should get involved in not. but that is one of the ships is serious we have to decide. if the serious. come to the table and find

a way forward is. in the end come to that but it's not up to me it's up to the syrians. in terms of how long it will take to carry out to act out to be what's contained in the peace try and he said well you can't put a timeframe or the fact to do so could be could be counterproductive could be an approach problems for counterproductive tools putting it in a place that general said no timeframe put in place for when we could see things carried out but he did say that it's cage and that things are and acted on right away you know he also mentions foreign weapons being in the happens or. the syrian opposition he said that it is possible that some foreign weapons perhaps foreign training had been given to two syrian rebels fighting against the assad government he also called on countries like qatar and saudi arabia who have said that they are willing to provide troops within the city likes to do it would be

syria's rebels that they should respect the peace process and not do anything that would be counterproductive to them yet more broadly how much support does kofi announced mission have in the international arena right now. well here in russia it has widespread supports president dmitry medvedev saying it was the last chance to avoid a bloody civil bloody and protected civil war in syria president medvedev also warning . not to do anything they could cause more problems in the country. misses the u.s. president and i both think that kofi annan efforts are a good way to achieve at least initially point of not only syria much either way for communication between various. the big groups in the country should act in a way so as not to create more problems so that the threat of civil war is not realized and talks begin between the authorities and all groups existing in syria

cd. well president medvedev also called on the international community to stop taking sides over syria and say that unless we can get both sides to a table it would be impossible for there to be peace in the country now although the united states and the e.u. have supported kofi annan peace plan well the united states have pledged their support as well as non-lethal aid to the syrian rebels and just last week we saw the european union issue fresh sanctions on syria as well. all right peter competing bravely there with the airport announcement in moscow thanks sarah brady said today. or middle east blogger karl sharrow in london told me he thinks western nations have no coherent strategy on the syrian crisis. the west doesn't have any plan syria it's been very but it doesn't really have a clear plan of action and you saw the sanctions by you i mean then really it's a real it's

a joke it's it's sort of when you don't have any other initiatives or any other pressure to apply this kind of sanctions on the president's wife and his mother all of. the a lot of ideas in the western about what to do in syria and i think where it's significant is russia seizing the initiative and putting on a sort of pathway to the struggle to become a protracted one for syria to take such a particular path is the fact that there's no coherent opposition leadership has emerged aside from the fact that our politicians political division there isn't one political authority that has control over. that aren't groups where the. f.s.a. the free syrian army or other groups on the ground. you're watching r t still ahead fuel bolted by by plagued by widespread unemployment latvia loses its brightest braves' these days leaving in an exodus for better opportunities far from home

a good report on that coming up for you. is the car the start this is the way around should the train take this trade good question as we explore the delegate them for the people of moscow enjoying the world's second worst can you tell me about it. better off there that is the message from the israeli military when it comes to their own kid troops since last year's deal which saw one israeli soldier exchange for more than a thousand palestinian prisoners the military put in place a new protocol and its artie's paullus leader explains it calls for soldiers to kill themselves rather than be taken captive. it's that time of year again we known scored up to put his life on the line for his country. when you go to fight you understand that. you are in the back and six

israeli soldiers never did come back another nineteen were returned in prisoner exchange deals the fact is the kidnapped soldiers present a huge problem on a strategic level for for our country which is why in the one nine hundred eighty s. the israeli army introduced its hanibal protocol it says i.d.f. soldiers must prevent the kidnapping of a fellow soldier even if it sees him killed no soldier and battalion fifty one will be kidnapped at any price at any price under any condition even if it means really blows himself with his grenade together with those trying to capture him it's easier to deal with a good soldier than a kidnap soldier and that message was loud and clear last year when israel said free more than a thousand palestinian prisoners in exchange for one captured israeli soldier. and that price say one in five israelis is simply too high but will it force commanders to get strict and insist they soldiers kill a car made rather than have him captured. your is going to shoot its

instincts. is the strongest in. familiar. but this fight is i'm not so sure he knows the power his uniform has to hold his country to ransom i would look at the shit i would. drop and. avoid. the stomach in the back and cause even at the risk of being killed by friendly fire the ultimate price for a soldier to pay. policy or longer. there's a killer controversy in the u.s. military too was a report few one our teeth are calling a case of turning a blind guy's rather than bly justice is a delicate troops responsible for the deadly strike that left twenty four pakistani soldiers dead will not be charged discover why on our website r.t.

commuters into packed trains well taking the car leaves motorists feeling in length is going to be worked up already diapers kovar ways the roads verse israel for you here in moscow. believe and. it's still dark outside. he goes on to use public transport she gets into the comfort of her and. they are young muscovite russian lady and a frenchman living and working in the us. they both spend roughly an hour to an hour and a half getting somewhere except that on the map his route is twice as long as it is . and while he enjoys his bill he's stuck in traffic amongst the west in the world. coming from paris i think

it's a it's a very difficult traffic is visually by car you never know when you're live you know when you leave but you never know when you're. making this is charmed by moscow's metro with its elegant mobbles bus reliefs and wintering chandelier is one of the most beautiful of soviet creations it is also known to be extremely efficient first of all the network is amazing it's probably one of the best thing to come because using the well. and also the frequency of entry is amazing getting somewhere even if it wanted to so you have never seen that my life despite the efficiency of its underground moscow now has more than two million cars and no extra space when the roads with the cities car who growing by three hundred thousand cars every year. there's a lot of people and it's stuffy i think it's a question of conference there is travel on your own no want to step out of your

feet there's no dirt so you get so clean and pretty many foreigners coming to moscow believe such attitude is simply irrational psychologists say there is a whole list of factors contributing to people's attachment to their cause it's a known fact that there's a private intimate zone around each person that's constantly violated when they get on the chills will go for it if it causes an almost physical discomfort and i want to add to this the social fund into people see a car as a means of climbing up the social ladder and no one wants to go back down. in memory of soviet times when people had to save their own life to buy a car and it was considered boys who are since then the car has become to symbolize a better life making the traffic jam a big part of everyday life a recent study on people's feelings about traveling to and from work place moscow eight foot commuter unfriendliness almost half of the city's car owners spend up to

three hours sitting in traffic every day while those using public transport spend less than half of that so if you are going to travel inside moscow the choice is yours punctuality while shoulder to shoulder with a heap of strangers or your own space behind the wheel which motorists insist makes the journey worth the wait. don't go over r.t. let's go. for a statue with a business now trying to bushels their high down to wall street rising higher this hour bring us up to date if you would yes this regaining losses from last week which is the worst week of the year so far one of the figures in a moment but first the ruble which has suddenly become a hot topic for traders it's not strongly against the dollar nine percent this year already some exposed think russia's over dependency on oil makes that growth fragile but charles robinson from little capital says it can continue. obviously oil's holding it up and helping at the moment but even if oil eases off in coming
