6:02 pm
investigation has been promised by the end to see another world organizations but the people we've been speaking to a lot of them are afraid to say it but horrified by the way gadhafi was killed even those who despise him and his forty decade rule when we first heard news of get down to his death almost immediately nato officials and other european and leicester conquests western countries basically said that by up to over thirty first they would be out today a request from the national transition committee for later for nato to say it won't grow so it does look like they're going to be in post gadhafi libya longer than the end of october an exact date has not been given there are a lot of weapons in this country many of them although again conflicting reports on how how these weapons were given out some say came from nato themselves there in the country there are huge warehouses we travel today are with some of the you see military if you call them a field commander who took us to checkpoints to see them checking for weapons and
6:03 pm
we're just talking about hand weapons here we're not talking about any kind of major arsenals in terms of hand weapons there are a lot of weapons on the streets of tripoli and another thing we're not hearing a lot of talk from the n t c about their plans to rebuild the country what they're going to do infrastructure completely destroyed people are celebrating very much so in tripoli. cross the country but very few people it seems are really thinking about what the death his death really means for stability and the future of libya the cars of liberation are loud and clear. it looks like a state of euphoria here and everybody is happy and you know. even though there's 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
6:04 pm
a single family lost five people including two children and. they had 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. 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 ben wally 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
6:05 pm
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 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. 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 that and we are told a new libya there will 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 there is fighting going on between tribes and anyone with a went on as power and 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 r.c. tipperary. and john reads of the stolen they will coalition london says that nader's actions in libya will bring about a government which will not be in the interests of the need. the western powers intervened in libya not to protect the revolution but to colonize the revolution and they've succeeded they succeeded in doing that in the t.n.c. is request for continued military help underlines that fact very clearly the events in libya show that revolution which started off as a genuine organic expression of the libyan people's desire was taken over by the
6:07 pm
west has now got a t.n.c. leadership which is wholly dependent militarily economically politically on the west that what is being driven through in libya is a government which in the end of the day won't be in the interest of most libyan people the people who have been using this kind of language about protecting the world from terrorism are the people who conducted the war with afghanistan and iraq and they are now the people who have a foothold in libya and that will be a situation which destabilized is the entire middle east so log on to our web site as you dot com to have your say how poor and they're asking what's the worst thing i've done for you that could have in store for the world and so far the vast majority believe more bloodshed is to come because the civil war hasn't finished eleven percent think it out his family because he's delayed dictators go to prevention in the west sixteen percent any weapons looted during the war may end up in terrorist and other saying it is the government may counsel gadhafi era oil

have a feeling everybody has understood that they have to change and they are on the way to change and they are doing reforms which is necessary in order to have a smaller national debt. and as the situation in europe worsens crankset here in the one strongly united e.u. with a wave of year of skepticism sweeping the bloke. tell me why we should worry. you three to parry for religion don't try to retire at fifty we shouldn't we're not going true. so you watch the full interview with john guy from the u.k. out of the pain and the disc said with other viewers on our website. it turns out the future and the dread of time them applies not just the political will but also incredibly hard to stick to trying to combine driving skills and how much corn exactly they gathered to say to. the high court in
6:15 pm
london is also to hear the defense over the use of uranium enhanced weapons by u.s. led forces in fallujah in the wrong seven years ago it's left a horrendous legacy of cancers illnesses and bad defects in the city trades of in great she rainy and far more deadly than toxic depleted uranium were found according to christopher who co-wrote till they report. 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 two thousand and four and what we found was a high level of uranium it was not from depleted uranium it was actually slightly enriched uranium which was fairly astonishing 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 so if you use slightly
6:16 pm
enrich uranium or not for the rain and then you cover your tracks and then you cannot be sued afterwards we found patents for direct to charge 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's quite right they should be banned because they cause all these a face but of course then the military say well of course we didn't use depleted uranium and 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 caused huge pressure waves and collapsed lungs 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 can't quite figure out it turns out

6:18 pm
our government has a way of accusing people of treason the authorities violate their power and then use their position as an excuse for their actions the georgian government has also raided a bank in vanish really owns amid accusations of money laundering designed and removed some of his security guards and arrested people close to him ivanishvili is famous as one of georgia's richest businessmen he's funded the building of churches and theaters and now he's funding the return of a well known georgian satirical t.v. show the show's director says he has confidence in a banish really but he's still new to politics. he's learning how to be a politician he used to be a very significant businessman but now the methods he used in his business have to be changed because he's a public politician but he adapts very quickly. and he'll have to because while of vanish very himself is confident he'll win the next election many around him aren't even sure if he'll be in it. it's hard to tell if the prisoner ivanishvili would
6:19 pm
call to george's political future or not but it's easy to see his case as a metaphor for the overall state of politics here the wall coming him to fill more political force would be clear evidence of the democratic spirit but so often talked about in georgia it's not so often sure tom watson oxys tbilisi georgia. and now we turn to some other stories making headlines around the world people have been in the yemeni capital sana'a by troops opening fire at a demonstration calling for president and they have done this time to quit the dead were shot by soldiers loyal to the president in clashes with other troops and backing a senior general who's defected to the opposition it comes despite the early declare ation of a ceasefire between the president and his opponents dictator's sunday has been in power for three decades with western backing but as the months refused to step down ignoring ongoing protests and international pressure. traffic on the border

6:21 pm
u.n. says over three thousand civilians have been killed and down again until regime government protests in syria he talks to the country's foreign minister to get his government .
6:22 pm
today we're talking to syrian minister of foreign affairs mr vali done one of them thank you for joining us. you expressed reserve at the last meeting of foreign ministers of arabic states in cairo on the situation in syria where is the opposition welcomed them do you think the arab league has been playing a constructive room. unfortunately due to the so-called arab spring some countries that had been playing a significant role in the arab league's operation are now busy with their own domestic issues and this doesn't help consolidated solutions hopefully this issue ation will be resolved in the short term and these countries will become official again in consolidating the common arab cause this is first do you think it would be reasonable to discuss a country's problems without its participation. second a proposal was made at this consultative meeting to free syria's membership of the arab league this is very dangerous and most participating countries spoke against
6:23 pm
this proposal how can one imagine resolving common arabic problems without syria. and thirdly this proposal contradicts the leeks charter as the board of the arab states leaders' has the power to suspend or freeze membership this power was breached when making a decision on libya and we're all well aware of what happens then to have the u.n. security council use the arab league's decision when adopting its resolution and then nato used this decision for its purposes when arabs to speak up with such proposals they understand the purpose of these actions which is to undermine what remains of the common arab cause. might it was the lord the opposition states that the syrian leadership has little time left people amend the reforms announcement president bashar assad they're saying that the syrian people are paying with their blood for delays in these reforms why is there such a do lane implemented in. nato not first of all there is no delay
6:24 pm
on the contrary a universal reform program underway in syria will be implemented in a record six months compared to other countries including russia where reforms lasted for several years i repeat that this is a record short period of time those who speak about reforms know that certain laws should be passed to see them through they include laws on political parties and parliamentary elections slated for next february there are also elections to local self-government bodies a law on the media should also be passed a commission has been set up to draft the country's new constitution. how fast should these things go these are crucial issues solutions to which will determine the face of the new syria a pluralistic a democratic country a model example to other nations in the region is hasty action reasonable these are serious problems that require serious approaches based on experience and international law judging from that i would say that the country's leadership is
6:25 pm
not slowing down 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 and 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 own citizens or rather isn't its direct purpose to protect its own citizens from terrorists we are confronted with arms terrorist groups who have nothing to do with reform these groups are being armed and financed. i'm abroad every day syrian television reports new arrests of these groups members which are sowing terror what objectives do they have other than how to earn more money therefore we should differentiate the national opposition which is it favor of political and economic reforms from these armed groups by you as you have the it seems that turkey is close to recognizing
6:26 pm
the national council how will syria respond if this takes place. but i don't want to get ahead of events but turkey knows the scope of syrian turkish relations we signed fifty intergovernmental agreements followed by growth in trade and cultural exchange and the end goal is to establish strategic relations between the two countries we have been working towards this which in practice means that citizens of both countries can visit each other under a visa free regime hopefully we won't go as far as to destroy the results of all our efforts over the last ten years. by the us and if you. could we move to a different subject now did damascus suit any preconditions before agreeing to receive palestinian prisoners it's known that the west has been putting pressure on syria for hosting to hamas leadership or did syria any specific conditions before agreeing to receive palestinians released from israeli jails are. interested in
6:27 pm
your question we have to remember that syria has been part of the palestinian issue we handed over the golan heights in an attempt to resolve the issue it's impossible to break this strong link between syria and the palestinian problem which is manifested both in our support for the resistance movement and in attempts to resolve the problem at regional and international levels therefore it's natural that there could be no conditional requirements. but i. was struck with that idea off. the museum and no wait until you see the film on screen if you want to have sex go and have sex.
6:28 pm
i am. just so. pleased.
6:29 pm
to. welcome back this is a check of the headlines. the body of colonel gadhafi is finally laid to rest in
6:30 pm
a secret desert barrel but there are still many questions about the way he was killed some even as it also fearing no bloodshed as the future of the country remains unclear. why it's called to get tough on and he will street protesters in california and arrest more than seventy people as demonstrations continue. speak to us on to corporate activity from the saying the right is world wide at the upcoming g. twenty summit in france things we. feel is right at the time in government could collapse with international disagreement over the budget cuts demanded by eurozone leaders meeting of finance ministers as council to head on a crunch e.u. leaders summit on wednesday with dolls that it will sold the deep into f one. hundred a new study says u.s. led forces secretly views new types of weapons and reached with you raney i'm sure in the box hope of the nature of the new ground several years ago huge incidences of councils endless as the facts stand in front of the city.
