10:02 pm
investigation is being promised by the end to see another world organizations but the people we've been speaking to a lot of them 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 and most immediately nato officials and other european and leicester conklin's 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 i won't go 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 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

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 my 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 movies 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 what we are told a 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

the news today. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. joint operation through the day. the eurozone crisis has taken a new twist with the consolation of a finance ministers meeting before wednesday's summit aimed at resolving the e.u.'s debt to daybreak. debacles rather government leaders will still need but there is growing doubt over whether the e.u. officials can overcome wide differences and pave the way for a solution before one of those who has a crisis today would be a time in coalition government of cd discone teetering close to collapse of ija monster budget and austerity concentrating raising the pension age to sixty seven and my call of every chairman of the german parliament says it's

10:15 pm
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 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 flew jets and 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 a face 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 caused huge pressure waves and collapsed lungs or char

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 a sufficient 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 this proposal how can one imagine resolving common arabic problems without syria. and thirdly this proposal contradicts the leaks charter as the board of the arab states leaders' has the power to suspend or freeze membership at this power was
10:23 pm
breached when making a decision on libya and we're all well aware of what happened 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 see implement the reforms announcement president bush. there saying that the syrian people are paying with their blood for delays in these reforms why is there such a delay in implementing them. they said on october first of all there is no delay 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
10:24 pm
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 you know 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 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
10:25 pm
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. from 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 in favor of political and economic reforms from these armed groups by the as the of the idea of god that it seems that turkey is close to recognizing 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 result of all our efforts over the last ten years. by the us and. could we move to a different subject now did damascus suit any preconditions before agreeing to receive palestinian prisoners it's known to 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. first and 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
