watching r t i'm marina joshie welcome to the program. amnesty international has called on libya's new authorities to prevent human rights abuses and there are allegations of violations committed by both rebels and colonel gadhafi is troops most of the country's now under rebel control with only a few pockets of cut off the loyalists still fighting but some people in the capital say the only fruits of the revolution they are seeing are uncertainty and fear as artie's marie for national now reports. that. they have done few free tripoli just come to talk chanting to celebrate the birth of you. all remind us of a recently overthrown dictatorship are suppressed what used to bring nightmares to some for decades is now a cause for love to. shift shoes for his curly hair we call him shit because his hair is so long and he doesn't cut it it's ugly actually but

someone else smiling believe in the post gadhafi freedom is nothing but the mineralogy a crime has been the rest of three times in the last two weeks rebels interrogated him and took his documents the reason the twenty seven year old copilot says is his family's ties with gadhafi his regime we cover his face and change his name in supposedly free libya this man is afraid of being thrown to jail again or even killed and you can see above war is a lot of gadhafi but you can say about wars about terrible and about to be a national icon for what they are talking about democracy this is not democracy a crime says leave it didn't get rid of a dictatorship but only fell into another one of the rebels weapons in a city where the gun has become a common accessory just like a cell phone and where one can only cross the town's numerous checkpoints with an obligatory a log bar to the. we know as this is

a reality not hard to believe you. know everybody we are happy we are freedom good that feels good run away this is not true believe me because they are fair to all have a good laugh or turn back to tripoli you see the same people same people same personality they are supporting a revolution can bring much hope but which comes after the news is often different . those who drove egypt's revolt this year were still on the streets this weekend seven months after toppling president mubarak angry at the likes of progress on the reforms libya's future too is too far from clear the post gadhafi libyan capital has been the scene of euphoria with celebrates rig on fire and singing heard here around the clock for more than a fortnight already like all parties however some believe they could be serious hangover after wards in the form of retribution and uncertainty as to how the

future country will be governed written off now r.t. tripoli libya meanwhile there is growing concern in libya that arms seize down after the fall of gadhafi could fall into the wrong hands brian johnson thomas a former u.n. experts told r.t. what needs to be done to stop the flow of weapons. by legally married legally sold but at some point the guns that cause the problems and being diverted and the case of libya concerns you very much a lot of the rebels were until fairly recently also regarded as being in the with al qaida in some cases so there are some orders to what they might do with that a certain utilization called a call card to the market which would obviously take an interest in what happens in libya and once you get support for the revolution of any sort then you tend to the control of some of the individuals within it one of the troubles is the. beauty

where you could have a society where the gun is ok if individuals respect the rule of rule the majority of gun crimes for the most because people who want to hold an illegal weapon because they don't have any trust in someone else looking after them so unless the libyan transitional national council can very quickly establish a trusted impartial independent police force and then because main cities for to control everything they will be a temptation on people to keep guns for their own defense and the temptation to use a gun for something which you shouldn't be used. and i can see the full interview with brian johnson thomas former u.n. expert on the arms trade in the next hour here on our team. u.s. congress is considering president obama's four hundred forty seven billion dollar jobs bill to help america's ailing economy as the country is looking at all

possible means to raise the cash it meets wanted being mooted to save money as a reduction in the number of people being kept behind bars however one group of people has a vested interest in keeping prisons as full as possible as are not found out. america's financial crisis has been something of an unsafe monster swallowing up millions of jobs homes and businesses throughout the nation yet amid this ongoing economic armageddon one industry has remained recession proof. private prisons. with more than two point three million people behind bars the united states trumps china russia and the rest of the world in both the number and percentage of people doing time where it falls short though is being capable of containing such a large population it's a political dilemma turned cash cow for dozens of corporations creaming profits off

punishment private prisons make money off of incarceration the more people they lock up the longer they keep them the more money they make so they have the same perverse incentive to expand our justice system and increase our number of people or our number of citizens who are behind bars because it increases their profit margin. the profitability of private jails depends on the prison population continuing to go up the rate of incarceration in the us has quadrupled since the eighty's when america's war on drugs are short in the three strikes policy which ties judges to mandatory minimum sentencing even for nonviolent offenders since the late eighty's and into the ninety's and now today we see a turn away from that rehabilitated model so across the country prison programming is cut rehabilitation is being cut there's less opportunities for education to gain work skills and instead there's just this drive towards isolation towards punishment private prison companies are paid between forty five and one hundred

thirty dollars a day per detainee rates for juveniles women and immigrants could be higher while public prisons are accountable to the public private ones answer only to shareholders and are not subject to external scrutiny that means many private contractors face few consequences for the poor or even inhumane treatment of detainees and we just see you know more and more isolation sensory deprivation and prisoners who literally never interact with human beings when guards would come. into the facility there would be a sign out front with their stock price to let them know how the company was doing corrections corporation of america and geo group are the two largest private prison companies which combined revenues of two point nine billion dollars last year but critics say they've been using that financial clout to line their own pockets even further encouraging politicians to keep going with the heavy handed sentencing

program by launching an influential lobby campaign in the corridors of power lobbying in an order to influence public officials only a small part of the private prison industry effort to achieve policy change others include campaign donations so the companies make hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations to politicians nationwide both on the federal and state levels with most states and the federal government currently operating under record deficits and budget cuts private prison companies are pitching their facilities as lower cost alternatives and while the most americans continue struggling during this economic downturn mass incarceration may grow even more profitable during a port niamh r.t. new york. well still ahead for you this hour here in our teeth the extremes of tourism daredevils curry the firsthand experience of a post-apocalyptic world and seek

a way inside the exclusion zone around the tour novel nuclear plant in ukraine. and this is the site that i will welcome iran's president in new york next week a billboard in times square accuses iran of being. as motivating a job has for the u.n. general assembly. heavily indebted italy is turning to china to lift the euro zone's third largest economy out of its financial pit rose officials have already visited beijing for talks with markets demanding higher bond yields and the european central bank divided over its policies towards the country we can now talk to dr it's you about she was a senior research fellow of the skulk away institute for emerging market studies in beijing thank you very much for being here with us on the program dr so in your opinion how likely is it that china will invest in italy. maybe. more.

than all the. oil. or it's a matter of how much. well it's not just of that also you know given the unstable comic situation of italy how sick you are of that investment will be and what benefits are there for china of course. but you all. so if china does more. on key of course it will the value we get with. me. while. a short dollar in china they believe it could be more the investment opportunity

because. they you know that the flow. of right. points i think. and i think. all right mr two of the senior research fellow of us call quincy for emerging market studies in beijing thank you very much for being here with us in the program. meanwhile speculations are rife that the greek economy is once again close to default the greek finance minister is set for talks with his german counterpart after some officials in berlin suggested athens could be forced out of the single currency and financial analyst edward harrison says any default carried a real risk of contagion. i think what's going to happen is the euros are going to say look you know this isn't working we realize that there's no way they're going to be able to repay and do the austerity we're going to have to take some haircuts

that is we have to right the debt going to default and then we're going to have some sort of program to deal with that in an orderly and structured there's going to be losses and we know that those losses are going to mean that we're recapitalize banks both banks in the lead like germany and france but also the greek banks themselves you know there might be a flat type of attitude meaning that you know if we cap was your bags that means you'll probably have to flog some of them off and sell them to foreigners things of that nature there's always going to be some recrimination. but at the end of the day once these debts that are unsustainable are written i think that that's a positive thing if greece defaults and then everyone says ok now greece's the faulty luckily we got out of the way greece then you know there are a special case. good to see or they could. default to know what about our a what about portugal what about speed a little they look like greece maybe they'll default to. sell their

bugs and then get out of those countries and then you know the same sort of scenario play out there that just played out in greece adventurous travellers are waiting to see if they will average be admitted to one of the globe's most surreal tourist sites the dead zone around turn novel nuclear plant in ukraine twenty five years after the worst ever atomic disaster trips to the area have been halted over allegations they are illegal or has the details. these cars were once heavily affected by nuclear radiation now they radiate for a different reason part of an exhibition in key of dedicated to the clear rubble the nine hundred eighty six chernobyl fallout over the years the chernobyl museum in ukraine's capital kiev has become one of the top tourist attractions especially in april this year when the world marked the twenty fifth anniversary of the disaster but for those craving for the firsthand post-apocalyptic experience

looking at the exhibition here has not been enough. and there is an adventurous alternative to the contaminated zone around sure the noble itself over the past decade tourists have been floor can hear more than ten thousand of them each year that's why forbes magazine named the dead zone one of the world's most exotic tourist destinations. alexander a former resident of the goes down of has been organizing these tours for several years he told us that visitors are always fascinated by what they see although all their motivations for making the trip have always varied. you people have different reasons for someone to see what an apocalypse could look like you are so meant to feel the history of. their childhood like the atmosphere of the soviet union has been preserved but for me it's more important

why they come here it's what effect it has on them. but since june that this radioactive tourism has been suspended the prosecutor general's office conducted checks and ruled that emergencies ministry had broken the law with these trips as well as making an unhealthy profit every tourist to the zone has been paying around one hundred u.s. dollars to do so equating to a multi-million dollar revenue every year. the ministry to inform the government of every dollar earned by these trips we know that a lot of money but we have no idea. why not put the money into the budget and use it to solve the problems but. the ministry is defined it says it stuck by the law it claims these troops are a vital way of educating the world on how to avoid such disasters and says they could help fund new industrial projects on contaminated land the emergencies ministry has now filed a lawsuit in

a bid to resume tours through the contaminated zone and the court is expected to start hearings in that september ukraine's thirty kilometers and you can get a wasteland will remain closed to the public until then but the debate remains very much open. reporting from kill you. in ukraine. for more explosive stories and video be sure to check out our comment here's what's online right now and take on minister david cameron's visit to russia to herald the rebound of relations between the two countries to head to our website for an in-depth analysis. and a russian communication satellites thought to be lost in space has come online after three weeks of radio silence more at our last check out all our best videos in our you tube channel.

he used to. be official. from the. video. and already. in the palm of your. question. the sixty six un general assembly opens in new york later was iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad expected there next week but the city is not waiting with open arms

a massive billboard in times square it's uses iran of the allying with al qaida a huge poster was put on by that united against nuclear wrong group which opposes tehran's nuclear plans it also wants hotels to refuse to accommodate ahmadinejad but ivan eland of the independent institute think tank told r.t. that attacking iran risks increasing its desire for nuclear weapons. if you remember after all nine eleven iran helped the united states apprehensive malka people and provided intelligence on them because remember iran. islamist government is different than the al qaeda which is sunni and the iranian government is shia and the. is hostile to the billboard furler demonizes iran so i think the problem with demonization as we've seen in the case of saddam hussein and moammar qaddafi is that the united states then seems to take out those leaders

after a while and if you've got a republican administration in who beat obama and next year in the elections by two thousand and thirteen we could hear the drumbeat for attacking iran which of course i think would be disastrous you have to put yourself in their shoes they do have legitimate security fears but i think you have to take them into account and you have to do everything that you can not to demonize them because that in turn creates pressures for attacking them later on this coercive approach merely makes iran want to have weapons more run sees that iraq and libya who gave up their nuclear weapons programs they got invaded or attacked. now let's take a look at some other stories from around the world turkey's prime minister has described israel's raid on gaza the till last year as a cause for war but said he's contrary refrain from taking action ankara did
