increasingly being accused of the kinds of abuses they were rebelling against in the overthrew colonel gadhafi insert the number of people executed with their hands tied behind their backs has risen to three hundred well this comes on top of criticism that gadhafi is body was put on public display inside a meat market fridge for five days and it's in our reports from tripoli. first of all some libyans that we've been speaking to understand but barry we get down we are his secrets of his connections and dealings with the west which is very active in close relations really if you just look back a couple of years before many countries decided that he was the number one dictator and had to go with that said the whole world watching food in libya those brutal pictures that we saw over the weekend of how gadhafi was killed still argument over whether or not this killed in crossfire as the n.c.c. says clearly the footage there makes it look like he was in fact executed it's a very strong statement but a lot of people were looking out that footage go as far as to say that in an
12:02 am
investigation is being 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 and most 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 that daffy 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 the mobo 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 t.c. military if you call them a field commander who took us to checkpoints to see them checking for weapons and
12:03 am
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 were going to do infrastructure completely destroyed people are so liberating very much so in tripoli. prospect country but very few people it seems are really thinking about what the dow is down really means for stability and the future of libya. and you can get and he says reports from libya first hand by following on twitter latest tweets she's posted a picture of an office which is part of the drive to collect firearms but it isn't tripoli isn't having the success or the hoped for finding that on her personal feet in the course of the underscore calm is a retreat. mainstream us media reacted to
12:04 am
gadhafi his death with a wave of cheers and approval but he's going to church he can reports from washington on how what looked like a brutal lynching was trumpeted as the start of a new era for libya. it started with cheers that the joy of killing the african leaders spread like wildfire in the u.s. mean it was just a trillion dollars to get saddam and a billion dollars to get gadhafi the libya says they're going to pay back the billion that we spent to so it's going to end up being sort of free for free for nothing so let's get in on the ground there's a lot of money to be made in the future in libya there's a lot all to be produced no american soldier killed probably great opportunities ahead seems like the perfect new word favorable but one that's meant to be a lesson to others i think it sends of an important message to other leaders in the region but i tell you that these are big taters they are not very original just like saddam hussein caught amid a whole new market guy he was a bad guy over many reviews would argue how bad he was for them considering what
12:05 am
they don't people don't want social welfare and rights but i think the idea of the u.s. audience as presented by the media he was the ultimate evil it's a demonization every step of the way against gadhafi in the media today always one one man becomes a justification one leader of a country becomes a justification for destroying an entire country. for a few days the media savored the bloody midget. and laughed at similarities between his character in a ditch and that of saddam hussein all the cheering about qaddafi is killing in the eye of the public effectively or raises the bad taste after the nato campaign no mention of sleep in civilians killed in nato strikes not much talk about that the structure in the country cost by those strikes conduct his killing is presented as a triumph a triumph which can create a perception that somehow it's perfectly ok to invade
12:06 am
a country and help its leader be lynched but if it's presented as such a success doesn't it become more tempting to try the same mess. it's somewhere else i'm going to check now reporting from washington art. for the role of the alliance and gadhafi is death is also the topic of debate for peter the bell and his guests in the latest edition of cross talk is a preview of what's coming your way throughout the day. i just don't think there's any sign that there is a war crime involved here i don't think it's murder and i think it's it's part of an ugly process that we call war the murder was in the ambulance so far as i can tell by young libyans and you know maybe he should be he should be held responsible for that but i just don't think that the attack on the convoy here in the city also they should never lose him this was a drug that american drone plane that attacked his convoy alongside the french were
12:07 am
warplanes and peace to this so really this was a joint french nato u.s. and murder could be the fact that he was technically alive but he got out as he scrambled out of his convoy hardly negates the role of the united states in his murder. a solution to the european debt crisis promised by e.u. leaders has been left in serious jeopardy that's off to a key meeting of finance ministers before the this summit on wednesday was cancelled many now doubt that the heads of state will be able to come up with a rescue package on their own while hopes for a political way out of the crisis of fading some are finding inspiration elsewhere as r.t. sara first reports. as the talks continue to try to find
12:08 am
a resolution to the financial crisis we've met some people who are cutting through the political rhetoric and telling it how it really is. meet soul sister and the greek hip hop group he's political rap lyrics have been striking a chord with people. of. the fever and. we play of the protests and the squares the situation in greece is really tough and everything is reversed from what we used to north few years ago we use our own lyrics to show how we perceive things that are happening in our society. was performing in unison may come naturally to the group you are using leaders have increasingly been failing to sing from the same page you cannot take twenty seven
12:09 am
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 and the european project actually is dying as we look at it as the battle continues to come up with a risky plan for the e.u. talks have been marred by bickering among the member states. we now have the greeks abusing the germans they now burn the flags 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. in the most extraordinary way. it is greek struggle to do with the sturdy measures including cuts to jobs wages and pensions protesters in the streets claim it is imperative brussels in athens are to blame for simply. who gains the flooding needs and the people all the politicians
12:10 am
have to speak it's other nobody gets on them that's the big problem that's the big problem. everybody do that everything he wanted from his part of the left. and nobody here only their people this is your system this is what has major political decisions and talks continue to take place behind closed doors so systema determined to take the discussion back to the streets. in the us if we get our message across to people and help them understand we feel we've succeeded in something we don't know where the situation is going we know why this started but we don't know where and. how to fantasy you're using crisis numbers on his assertions that they can find a solution and then sounding sound like a broken record. so. at the end. of the spot the u.k.
12:11 am
parliament voting against a proposal to hold a referendum on leaving european union there remains a strong sentiment in the country conservative party he calls well told r.t. that the structure simply doesn't fit the global financial environment any more this interview coming up later this hour but is next it. the year painting a nine hundred fifty s. political structure it's an outdated architecture for a modern continent when we joined the european union or what became the european union in the early one nine hundred seventy s. western europe at that time accounted for thirty six percent of global g.d.p. today the european continent accounts for far less than that by twenty twenty it would account for a mere fifteen percent of global g.d.p. we joined what we thought was a prosperous trade bloc it turns out we shackled ourselves to a corpse i think we're better off at.
12:12 am
well china has repeatedly called on the e.u. which is beijing's biggest trading partner to get its house in order with more on what role the country could play in the crisis struck let's cross now to a professor levi saying it who's from the university of international business and economics in beijing thank you for joining us here on r t now china's calls for the e.u. deal with its problems are becoming ever down to how wire it is beijing at this stage do you think. well i think now from the chinese top leaders it is very clear that china will not stand and stand a long time no will land a wall hand as they have expressed about right now china is still waiting for the final decisions of the summit and in the meantime a more specific proposal from those individual countries that need the money that
12:13 am
to come made is that they do have hope through. the plan through the privatization program through the effective measures in pacifying the social disorder so that china could have a reasonable or for as best this money is going to be fat fifth in the meantime this money will be returned will help the purpose. on the other hand there are also talks in china. are there any other better ways to how the situation. for example merely buying the bonds may not be the object of but rather to help the economy to help create a job two through collaboration more of a direct investment from the chinese businesses instead of simply loaning the government money to the government bond. he it could be
12:14 am
a better solution in the meantime yes i'm as you mentioned worrying so i just it just ask you very quickly find that you you mentioned austerity measures that what does china actually think yes of the anti crisis measures the e.u.'s taken so far. well so far i think one is china is not very satisfied satisfied with the fact that those that the austerity plan didn't come on the right right time and there are still the war between different stakeholders within within this format. on the other hand they indecisive in this and the slow pace in. the the of their members particularly those leading members in solving those issues come didn't really come in a very decisive way so that really saves several taj a number of people in terms of their patients to come up to the rescue plan.
12:15 am
so it could china become the savior then do you think. while china will join the bandwagon of all the saviors blood china will not be a white knight in this regard because the understanding is that it is those individual countries who are having the problem will be also their problem solvers in the first place and then what will be the neighboring countries of the community of the of the eurozone can come up with a specific solution even which china can draw in to help and also china would also like to leverage more on the i am left as a special vehicle instead of the past t.v. that the european is proposing because this way china. creases the voice with the united mass and also i'm. of comes in the same time
12:16 am
serve the buffer for the time to exposure but china may have to face ok we have to leave it there for now professor lubar chain from the university of international business and economics in beijing thank you very much for joining us. the us used secret new weapons in iraq that caused increases in cancer and congenital illnesses in innocent civilians that's according to a new international study their search as found that the use of you radium enhanced by american forces in the infamous battle of fallujah in two thousand and five was much wider than previously thought were your r.t. spoke to christopher busby one of the authors of the report may find some of the images in this interview disturbing. we found extraordinary 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 of fallujah in two thousand and four well in the latest
12:17 am
study what we did was we looked in the hair of twenty five mothers and twenty five fathers of children with congenital anomalies what we did find was a high level of uranium it was not from depleted uranium it was actually slightly enrich uranium and it led us to believe that modern military systems use a whole new set of weapons which contain or produce enrich uranium for various reasons which we're not entirely sure about secret weapon and we and it does cause these indiscriminate effects on populations which are really quite horrifying and poison the genetic integrity of the whole area where they are used and possibly travel around the globe also there's been a tremendous cover up of the use of this stuff because the people who are using up perfectly aware that it's a kind of poison gas that has a delayed effect now you're not allowed to use poison gas is in modern warfare and all sorts of conventions and it is easy to argue in court that this is a kind of poison gas it has indiscriminate effects these effects are not immediately apparent but they're much more terrifying for that because they echo
12:18 am
down the whole generations of the people who have been exposed and these are not people who are competencies of people who are non-confidence who live in the area but also the troops themselves i mean we know that the americans the gulf war veterans have got a high level of congenital malformation is in their own children but the urine measurements that have been made on them show no depleted uranium so the idea that these congenital malformation have been caused by uranium has been discounted and this needs to be revisit it. well you can log on to our website and our top stories also online few right now in the cold thanks an eight billion dollars plan to build the first of a city in the national climate. plus. we bring you a first cut moscow to the lavishly refurbished also i think two days before its grand reopening the grounds that other picture galleries that's.
