being on public display inside a meat market fridge the slain former libyan leader moammar gadhafi has been buried his body was taken to a secret location in the desert to prevent his grave becoming a shrine for sympathizers or being vandalized parties and he said now he is in tripoli keeping across developments. we'll get back to you finally buried adong this tuesday 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 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 wheeling and dealing 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 with him being buried today 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 a no walk in refrigerator for days you see these pictures coming out of that site
2:02 pm
people actually wearing masks because obviously the smell despite the fact that he was being refrigerated was getting to the people that he's been put to us now and the first some of the first announcements that we're hearing in fact from most. that he sees the country moving towards should be a long which of course is a very hard by the 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 a not a party. 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 want to but again huge challenges ahead for libya and while people here are certainly basking in the celebration of gadhafi is just
2:03 pm
a few of them it seems seems are really thinking about what that means for the future of the. cars of liberation are loud and clear. looks like a state of euphoria here where everybody is happy. 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 when. they apologized to all governments but no one toss it in 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. and the family with six kids we know what to do live and to
2:04 pm
come here every day and get water is very difficult. they bombed the electric station in ben walid 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 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 during my play 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
2:05 pm
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 movies i'm sure some sixty to seventy percent of the country does not approve of the way gadhafi was killed we expected them to be tried as a prisoner of war not killed like what we are told in new libya there 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 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 some are there is fighting going on between tribes and anyone with a weapon as power who can do what they want. so many celebrate this new era in libya's history people like me are quietly bracing for the worst. and he's now a artsy tipperary. and he was continuing her coverage from libya online on her
2:06 pm
personal twitter feed and in one of the latest tweets she posted images of libyan kids rummaging through what's left of colonel gadhafi. also you can log onto our web site to have your say in. the moments which we're conducting that some of. the worst thing. could have been store for the world well so far the vast majority believe that more bloodshed is to come because the civil war hasn't finished thirteen percent think it could use the. revenge on the west. believe that war looted weapons may end up in terrorist hands. the government. gadhafi. even though libya was declared liberated is no closer to peace and freedom that's a view of chandan he's a spokes person for british civilians for peace in libya. into the
2:07 pm
civil war between the rebel factions and the m.d.c. is all about to blow up even the leadership of the n.t. see us take this very clearly so there's no peace in libya so where is the substance of any type of liberation or freedom there is none or all my friends who were involved in the media before the fall of tripoli refused to speak on camera refused to speak to any international journalist because they're being hunted literally now so this is the state of affairs in libya the explosion in sirte which killed one hundred people it's definitely indication of the complete anarchy which is libya now we need to have a central government that brings security in order which they had under gadhafi for forty two years look at iraq and they were security and there was some semblance of safety for the people under saddam hussein and now it's the wild west it's completely an acoustic but i think the resistance will grow and let's see what happens and they thought stuck in libya and they cannot run syria because of russia and china so i mean one can only hope who has
2:08 pm
a sense of humanity that things will improve for the libyan people the point i'm making is that in islam never has the west allowed a modern progressive and team list islam islam to really develop. police in oakland california have arrested seventy five occupy wall street protesters and torn down their tent camp in front of the city hall but he said no one was injured despite tear gas and rubber rounds being fired into the crowd the protest movement is gearing up for more global rallies this week intended to coincide with the upcoming g. twenty summit these ladies protests are aimed at pressuring world leaders to introduce a so-called robin hood tax and what they say is the virtually unregulated global casino financial transactions but as artie's marina point now reports it won't be easy to achieve. well six weeks into the occupy movement nearly one thousand unarmed activists have been arrested in new york city. thrown to the ground beaten netted like flies and pepper sprayed. the n.y.p.d.
2:09 pm
east tactics have been harshly criticized yet the most profound and public condemnation recently came from the u.s. marine sergeant shamar thomas while defending demonstrators in times square. tonight. the lone man that stood up to dozens of new york cops comes from a family of honor my step father he was he went to ghana stand in two thousand and six see my mother were actually in iraq the same time sergeant thomas completed two tours in iraq before returning to his homeland where he now aligns unself with the activists he says are being targeted by aggressive authority in uniform have a scene and watch t.v.
2:10 pm
. take on a person one on one it's always a few of them you know three four five of them or one person these are you know protests as much as this is police will tell you hands down the twenty five year old war vet says it's come to a point where iraqi activists are treated with more respect and humility then there are american counterparts he recalls an incident when hundreds of iraqis got violent with us soldiers a few people started throwing rocks and everybody kind of started the rocks and we actually had a marine get hit in the face he was on back of a truck but at that ad you know the people were free to go you know what i mean we've been a rest anybody we didn't go beat up on anybody so to see the police officers doing this to on our civilians in our own country was just it was you know us. well i was amazed when i was in shock visiting the protesters he stood proudly to defend sergeant thomas receives something of a hero's welcome in zuccotti park so yes. it really you know we've been gestures of
2:11 pm
appreciation towards the marine that completed combat in baghdad but just began his battle against police brutality here at home sergeant thomas is probably. inspired the birth of a new book called. it calls on u.s. veterans of all military branches to join the anti wall street protests and with roughly forty thousand soldiers coming back from iraq by the years and his international grassroots movement may grow even mightier. artsy new york. streets. voicing their cause you can. for you at the moment.
2:12 pm
more news today. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. today. the quest to pull the eurozone out of its debt spiral has hit another snag several key meetings aimed at forming a plan have been canceled at a summit on wednesday heads of state will still meet but the. difference is. the chairman of the german parliament told me earlier that europe to get off the financial rollercoaster as soon as possible. first of all we have to see how we are going to solve the creek problem it is obvious that creek cannot pay back its lawns it stopped it all it is will be there will be a certain haircut we'll talk about maybe sixty percent or even more which is not
2:13 pm
decided finally yet either grace of default already called the so called selective default if you're talking about a selective default the bank have to agree because otherwise it won't get money and . as such is a good concept of the only problem we have is some countries in the euro zone are not really doing well they have by far too hideouts but i have the feeling each and everybody has understood that they have to change and they are on the way to change even italy is now changing and they're doing reforms which is necessary in order to have a smaller national debt. and as the situation in europe worsens the once formidable unity of the european union is cracking and with a wave of euro skepticism sweeping the block. tell me why we should work to the age of seventy chill seventy three to pay for staff ross who lives in downtown after a jury chara fifteen we shouldn't we're not going to it's the end and you can catch
2:14 pm
that full interview with me and john gaunt as well as share your opinion on it all at our t.v. dot com. the high court in london is to hear a case over the use of uranium in hans weapons by u.s. led forces during the infamous iraqi battle of fallujah in two thousand and four this following a number of reports alleging their use was much more widespread than originally thought well earlier i spoke to christopher busby who co-wrote two of those reports . we found extraordinarily high levels of cancer very high levels of birth defects and we also find a rare change in the sex ratio in the ratio of boys to girls which appeared to begin after the battle to falutin in two thousand and four and what we found was we looked at fifty two elements with all the possible elements that could be in the hair and we found high levels of strontium and not c. and calcium and only minium and various. substances but what we did find
2:15 pm
was a high level of uranium and that a high level of uranium was it from from depleted uranium. well though this was what was surprising it was not from depleted uranium it was actually slightly enriched uranium which was it was fairly astonishing as far as it was not something that we really expected and it led us to believe that the. modern military systems use a whole new set of weapons i mean one suggestion is that the people using this weapon have been covering their tracks because there's been a lot of talk about depleted uranium and its effects and it can actually be measured using sophisticated instruments and so if you use slightly enrich uranium or not for the rain and then you cover your tracks and then you cannot be sued afterwards when people come along and make measurements that's one possibility we did find patents which showed the existence of a whole new type of uranium weapon not like the ones that used to be used where they just fired projectiles that tanks or tank battles we found patents for
2:16 pm
directed charged weapons and a new type of explosive which contains uranium powder mixed in with explosives in order to cause a very powerful directed charge and this is this is an anti-personnel weapon which which answers the other question why they would have used such a thing in fallujah because there were no tanks in fallujah many of the ngos in the world have been busily trying to have depleted uranium weapons banned and of course that that's quite right they should be banned because they cause all these effects but of course then the military say well of course we didn't use depleted uranium and that inwardly laughing i guess because they've been using these new weapons which are not anti-tank weapons which are anti-personnel weapons which are thermobaric weapons which cause huge pressure waves and collapse along this or char the victim and they've been a lot of very very peculiar injuries being discovered on modern battlefields that doctors have never seen before and quite and can't quite figure out. this is r.t. life here in moscow coming up to eighteen minutes past the hour now here in russian
2:17 pm
capital let's return to our top story now concerning libya and we'll get more reaction now on the latest developments there i'm not sure. he's an eyewitness saw nato bombing in libya and he's recently returned from his hometown of sirte and joins us now live in manchester in the u.k. thanks very much indeed for being with us now nato is constantly said that avoiding civilian casualties has been its main objective in libya well from your experience did they succeed. in iraq and afghanistan and the most of the countries the very i mean i myself with the death of fifty one people just two hundred meters away from our house one of our family house you know it's a family house and most of the people in our house are civilians i mean. how come
2:18 pm
the telling the war of the having killed civilians killed civilians caused the death of so many civilians in libya. i think. if there was a camera i mean most earth folk wouldn't have come in because there was no electricity libya the film the sun i'm sure the world. i think. what do you make of the outcome now that clearly nato had a major hand in the fall of gadhafi regime what do you make of the situation in your country what you feel about it. i think he would if not for them without the interference of nato. as they interfered in iraq. when they told those bunch of lies they told us that saddam had weapons of mass destructions nevertheless you had let me just ask you i said many many rebels at the time said we didn't want the help of nato you want to do it ourselves are you happy with the outcome that
2:19 pm
gadhafi has gone what are your thoughts about his demise yet if the rebels do that themselves then that would have been you know a great cause didn't the. people would be martyrs but. killed so many innocent people civilians who had nothing to do with this conflict i mean if you want to start a conflict you have to finish it yourself phone started and start trying to fulfill the need to help come my your own people so i can get rid of gadhafi the death of gadhafi is going to be under investigation do you think that the actions of nato should be under investigation and your concerns will be listened to. of course of course i think to. death of a few let me just offer my condolences to his family. and libyan people as well who are not happy with the outcome of. see gadhafi being killed this way seventy years old the age old man you know to be treated i mean you are telling me that there are
2:20 pm
a billion started to change to a better life and you are telling me that gadhafi her killed his opponents by a cold blood so the new people should be a lot better than gadhafi they should show the world that they are a lot civilized more civilized than gadhafi but the reality is not this. they are actually the world have witnessed a crime of killing an old man whatever he's done bring him to a court. trial but on trial let me ask you clearly very critical of the m.t.c. at the moment you're not happy with what has happened what are your thoughts now about your future in libya are you optimistic though that the people will have a better future now just briefly. no arm up salute lee you know the
2:21 pm
future i think. gloomy. because revenge will generate revenge there are tribes in libya and you know all that libya is a tribal area tribal country. there are tribes from. the moment especially the tribal follow the tribal get out first the gadhafi tribe. they didn't even let them have fuel or. do you think this is freedom do you think this is democracy is the way you treat your opponent i mean you are the victorian one now you have to assure the world that you are a democratic person that you can for freedom you fought for freedom. i mean they didn't even let them have fuel. how come very interesting to hear your thoughts particularly bearing in mind you've just returned from the tunnel in libya we very
