they in secret four witnesses swearing on the koran that they will never reveal the site obviously the entity afraid that it could become some kind of a shrine to with the late leader but also i think it's fair to say we'll hear this from analysis throughout the day that with him to the grave when a lot of the secrets of his reeling and dealings as they call it with the west's very close ties with a lot of western countries before they decided that this dictator needed to go down it needs to be pointed out that it was completely not in accordance with islamic law and he was on display for some of those days in a shopping center after being kept you know walk in refrigerator for days you see these pictures coming out of that site people actually wearing masks because obviously the smell despite the fact that he was being refrigerated was getting to the people he's been portrayed as now and the first some of the first announcements that we're hearing in fact from most of you neal that he sees the country moving towards should real long which of course is

a very hard by no islamic way of leading the country at the same time just recent elections in tunisia where official results are expected to come in later on tuesday but so far it looks like believing party that will take over most of the positions in parliament will be an islamist party the ennahda party so really is something that in a way is ironic i think it's fair to say the west very strongly pushing for these so-called democracies to be born and it may not play out the way they actually wanted but again huge challenges ahead for libya and while people here are certainly basking in the celebration of going down these steps few of them it seems seems a really thinking about what that means for the future of the bia the cars of liberation are loud and clear. looks like a state of euphoria here everybody is happy. even though there is no formal you know. law and order but are they ignoring the price paid for freedom in libya
6:03 am
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 in. their poll gys tall guzman's but no one toss it in who is going to rebuild my house who will compensate on a search all those much of the country's infrastructure has been destroyed finding water is now a serious challenge in the capital but i don't think supplies and try to collect what they can. and the family with six kids we knew would have to leave and to come here every day and get water is very difficult. they bombed the electric station in bed for ten days they haven't fixed the problem but at least we can come here for now. but maybe not much longer. before the war libya
6:04 am
could boast one of the best living standards on the continent with high life expectancy and low tide 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 might pay for saying this. that if you talk or see anything positive about gadhafi you will have serious problems with the rebels there is no government speaking out on to 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 on the streets to get their free i'm sure some sixty to seventy percent of the country does not approve of the way gadhafi was killed we expect them to be tried as a prisoner of war not killed like passed on we are told
6:05 am
a new libya that would be justice when 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 that things will take time to change in the country. i think there will be a lot of fighting in the future right now and tomorrow and tomorrow there is fighting going on between chimes and anyone with a went on as power who 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 artsy tipper. and i mean continuing to give us our coverage from libya online. twitter feed you can see here. the pitch is over some of the damage done to the capital on sharing time russians were also retreating. he. gets a more reaction on this now on the developments in libya joining me as i'm mark almond
6:06 am
visiting professor in international relations at university. thank you for coming on the program today could to see you so all that secrecy around gadhafi his burial and the location of it all the legitimate fear now that the former leader could in some way become a kind of muscle. with. these those of his supporters who went on fighting for here and who. otherwise why would he retreated to where he was and the danger is the. country i mean it would restore him from the kind of the people to just be foolish to think there is a room. here becoming. regime if. the new regime is going to return to the way they were before. but actually be able
6:07 am
to produce based living standards that exist. it will get a few moments you know how a democracy can survive when it's basically comprised of old traditional warring tribal factions but before we get there if i may one fascinating question to have you here since the fall of gadhafi allegations of some western leaders. and expertise prime minister prime minister tony blair profited from their relations with the regime just how many secrets do you think it took with him to the great. to see the rule the obligations of his who wanted to resume. would know what he would say where he told the truth. and then he. three and one. of the. suckers in for holmes. how do.
6:08 am
you think what do you think they'll ever be revealed in some of these issues here because i would have reported earlier he helped to finance a presidential campaign could this have a come to light do you think well it's possible documents. implicating. that office from security chief did in dealings with the british regarding so-called islamic fundamentalists including some of the fighters with. the rebel leadership so the various unseemly things come to light and who really in fact ironically i don't. see. but the. dealing with him. it's all going to go away and persist kinds of situation the suspicion will probably grow. greatly for these western leaders who think that she's disappeared from the sea it could lead to a situation where they. will indeed you know we as you've been talking so we've
6:09 am
been showing these pictures of the hand of gadhafi we've seen the pictures of blair hugging and kissing khadafi. from the e.u. hugging and kissing gadhafi all of these men are clutching themselves to the royal bosom at the time but if i may in the war torn country of libya human rights groups are calling on nato and the. secure and safeguard various. from the regime for example a long range surface to air missiles should there be any concern about these are falling into the wrong hands with the should be useful nugent's already with libya for instance to egypt to the girls of the strip of the border with israel it's possible in this green light to. there's a danger that not just terrorist groups. remember who. twenty years ago but. you were under which of the two groups in britain these days. i fear
6:10 am
we could for under some of those in the. streets it wasn't just an issue of war time in libya when it when weapons were indeed a filtering of a porous borders and when it comes to talking about borders let's talk about one of libya's neighbors that. ultimately when the arab spring began then it was overshadowed by egypt we just witnessed an historic democratic election with an islamist party claiming victory how big a change can we expect in tunisia do you think based on that outcome. it entirely depends how it. applies to the words islamic principles she's going to remember depends very heavily on for. so if you have a more rigorous israeli go for instance. the whole restricts how people can behave the dress and i would think this is going to be the food reviving the executives. if not all that doesn't apply principles or any of its will to it will be
6:11 am
disappointed and so. for a post dictatorship to grow from is the thing it's cool supporters want to use they fit with other ships they won the election but in a democracy have to be perhaps more diverse except sometimes who or what. is wrong is to be imposed on the public attention mostly coming in traditional because it's dependent on west western tourism. and that's a dramatic moment as a professor in international relations at a bill can university in ankara thank you and. what another country affected by the arab spring out of syria and that's still seeing widespread on breast but the government has promised to meet some of the key demands and implement crucial reforms within six months that's the short period of time that's according to syria's foreign minister his exclusive interview with r.t. is coming up in about twenty minutes from now though here's a look at what he had to say. the country's leadership is not slowing down
6:12 am
reforms and the deadline set by the syrian president are very short in less than six months the country will see these reforms carried out that is why i'm asking if the opposition really cares for the future of this country why it wouldn't begin dialogue as lay out some serious approaches to creating a new syria as for the bloodshed let me ask you whether there's a regime anywhere in the world whose purpose is to kill its citizens or rather isn't its direct purpose to protect its own citizens from. terrorists we are confronted with armed terrorist groups who have nothing to do with rick or. with r.t. live from moscow now the british parliament has voted overwhelmingly against holding a referendum on leaving the european union a petition of over one hundred thousand signatures from the public have called for the debate the government earlier all of its m.p.'s to vote against the motion all
6:13 am
face penalties despite this those dozens of david cameron's party members defied the order and what's been the biggest internal challenge she's faced as prime minister but john from the 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 the way their leaders tell them to because if they don't they'll get the sack that isn't democracy it's an absolute disgrace i don't actually think we need to be part of a political super state no one signed up i'm fifty seven but in the age of fifty four has not a vote on this and certainly my dad when he voted for a common market he didn't vote for the united states of europe that's what british people are upset about there's a disconnect between the political elites in our great country and the people the
6:14 am
political elite in westminster mark try and stop those but eventually we will get our referendum and we will get out of the let me tell you it's not our problem to sort out the problems in greece and tell me why we should work to the age of seventy two or seventy three to pay for staff ross who lives in downtown athens to retire at fifty we shouldn't we're not going to it's the end this euro state is collapsing as we speak well meanwhile in the heart of the leaders are desperately trying to find a remedy for the raging debt crisis there promised to come to a clear solution at a final meeting in brussels on wednesday but nigel farage an m.e.p. from the u.k. independence party believes that far from being a uniting force the e.u. is quickly becoming a catalyst for conflict. but the strange irony with the whole eurozone project is that what it's done far from bringing people closer together it's pushed people further apart not just with the degree to cameron we now have the greeks abusing
6:15 am
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 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 a soviet union dead but it's dying as we look at it because right across europe the voters are saying we don't want this model we reject them. and there more on the wider fallout from the ongoing debates in the e.u.
6:16 am

6:19 am
appreciation towards the marine that completed combat in baghdad but just began his battle against police brutality. sergeant thomas is. born we inspired the birth of a new group called. it calls on us veterans of all military branches to join the anti wall street protest and with roughly forty thousand soldiers from iraq by the years and its international grassroots movement may grow even mightier. r.t. we are. plenty more on the protests sweeping america including a true revolution. some of the thousands of pieces of merchandise thrown off. a wall street turning into a successful brand the. full story of. twenty
