it looks like a state of euphoria here and everybody is happy and you know. even though there is no formal you know law and order but are they ignoring the price paid for freedom in libya some thirty thousand civilians are said to have been killed with four thousand still missing this house was one of nato's misses a single family lost five people including children. but i have told joyce to all governments but no one toss who is going to rebuild my house who will compensate honest follows much of the country's infrastructure has been destroyed finding water is now a serious challenge in the capital when you don't have running supplies and try to collect what they can. have a family with six kids we knew what to do live and to come here every day and get water is very difficult. they bombed the electric station in ben walid
12:02 am
for ten days they haven't fixed the problem at least we can come here for now. but maybe not much longer. before the war libya could boast one of the best living standards on the continent with high life expectancy and low tiled mortality rates but after months of heavy bombing and fierce fighting the country's social and economic achievements have been brutally reversed its people now betting on a heavily armed and inexperienced group to govern them through a fresh start in the wake of destruction ali asked us not to reveal his face fearing he might pay for saying this. that if you talk or say anything positive about gadhafi you will have serious problems with the rebels there is no government speaking out would be the end of you he tells me if people were truly happy about the end of gadhafi and the way he was killed there would be millions not thousands
12:03 am
on the streets. i'm sure some sixty to seventy percent of the country does not approve of the way gadhafi was killed we expected him to be tried as a prisoner of war not killed like dot com we are told a new libya there would be justice he was the head of this country and there was no justice in the way he was killed i have no hope for the future but it's just the beginning don't you think that it could get better with time but things will take time to change in the country. i think there will be a lot of fighting in the future right now and jamal and there is fighting going on between tribes and anyone with a weapon has power and can do what they want. so many celebrate this new error in libya's history people like me are quietly bracing for the worst. and he's now a r c tripoli. and he continues her coverage from me online on her personal twitter feed and she's posting pictures. the damage done to the
12:04 am
capital and sharing her firsthand impressions and we're also we tweeting her at r t underscore. meanwhile human rights watch has called on the new libyan authorities to investigate what they think could have been a massacre of cut off the loyalists in syria fifty three dead bodies many was their hands tied behind their backs were discovered an abandoned hotel in the city political blogger carl says that interim government has little control over fighters on the ground. you can see the tension between the and to see. some of the more islamist groups on the ground and in fact if you see some of the fight there the ground they have the characteristics of islamist fighters the long. history of from afghanistan on wards so this illusion identity has full control on the ground is not actually correct maybe another party in libya could have presented the evolution of the aspirations the us but the legitimacy aspirations for change but
12:05 am
there is that and then to see that still has a lot of former gadhafi associates and cronies within it so that's that is the number of the problem. if you want to have your say on our top story then you can log on to r.t. dot com any time you like and where we're asking why a current and off he was killed so let's take a look at a side now the vast majority believe khadafi is dead because you could have exposed dirty dealings in the media by western governments and corporations twelve percent and seeing nato just ran out of money for more aerial strikes a slightly larger number of people believe gadhafi is to blame for his own death because because of the way he treated his people and others say he was killed because many members were his former subordinates so let us know what you think on this issue by casting your vote at r t. a later today max kaiser and his co-host stacy herbert discuss whether colonel gadhafi could have
12:06 am
found safe haven in and expect a place. if moammar gadhafi. got nona jet landed on wall street so at some point the last three months he would have been immediately put on the board of directors of j.p. morgan they would have given him a multi-billion dollar bonus and he would be doing fantastic he would be on all the talk shows talking about his plan to monetize his country's assets in the greater good of a global oil kleptocratic dream state of never ending gusher of profits for the top one tenth of one percent now the occupy wall street movement and the global insurrection against banker occupation has to ask themselves why the justice was selectively served against gadhafi and not tony blair or jamie diamond or lloyd blankfein how come those guys are not hiding in a spider hole somewhere. the

british parliament has voted overwhelmingly against holding a referendum on leaving the european union a petition of over a one hundred thousand signatures from the public had called for the debate the government earlier ordered its employees to vote against the motion or face penalties despite this dozens of david cameron's party members defied the order it was been the biggest internal challenge he's faced as prime minister but john gone from the vote u.k. out of the e.u. campaign says britain never signed up for what the e.u. turned out to be. we've got just still stinging attack on democracy and the whole room the mother of all parliament square these m.p.'s are not voting with their conscience or with their constituents opinions they're voting for the way their leaders told them to because if they don't they'll get the sack that isn't democracy is an absolute disgrace i don't actually think we need to be part of

from the u.k. independence party believes that far from being a force that is quickly becoming a catalyst for conflict. i want to europe where we cooperate together and work together and sign agreements together not a europe where we hand over the ability to make those decisions to a group of unelected bureaucrats the strange irony with the whole euro zone project is that what it's done far from bringing people closer together it's pushed people further apart not just for soc has he been rude to cameron we now have the greeks abusing the germans they now burnie you flags in athens openly with swastikas drawn on them and we have the germans slagging off the greeks as being lazy and useless and the irony of this project is far from us all becoming friends together in this new european house actually we're beginning to argue and becca in the most extraordinary way you cannot take twenty seven different countries with twenty one
12:10 am
different languages all with their own different histories and different forms of government you cannot take them and force them into one unitary form of government without first getting their approval that approval has never been given and the european project actually is dying as we look at it oh it may take many years just as the soviet union did but it's dying as we look at it because right across europe voters are saying we don't want this model we reject. so i have for you on the program here in our team on the frontline of the illegal trade in human organs or why in the ukraine has been dubbed europe's capital of the dodgy trafficking and transplant body parts. will. review the latest in science technology from.
