insert the number of people there it is the executed it has risen to three hundred it comes on top of criticism that that office body was put on public display in a meat market fridge for five days ortiz and he saw no 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 he was killed in crossfire as the m.t.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 when looking out by footage go as far as to say that an investigation is being promised by the end t.c. and other 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 almost immediately nato officials and other european and westercon when 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 but jeffie 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 t.c. military if you call them a field commander who took us to checkpoints to see them checking for weapons and we're just talking about him 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 with 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 japanese don't really mean for stability and the future of libya. whether you can get and he says reports from libya first hand by following on twitter in one of her latest tweets she's posted a picture of an office which is part of the drive to collect firearms from civilians in tripoli is not having much success. on her personal freedom or support he understood com is retreating. mainstream us media reacted to gadhafi his death with a wave of cheers and approval is going to church you 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 and. the joy of killing the african leaders spread like wildfire in the us media it was just a trillion dollars to get saddam and a billion dollars to get gadhafi in 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 for years but one that's meant to be a lesson to others but i think it's sense 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 da he was a bad guy otoh many libyans would argue how bad he was for them considering what i don't see him going in for social welfare and women's rights but i think the idea of the western 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 medusa's. and laughed at similarities between his character in a ditch and out 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 none let's talk about that this structure in the country caused 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 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 methods somewhere else

i'm going to check our reporting from washington our team. well the role of the alliance and gadhafi is death is also the topic of debate for peter the bell and his guests 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 look at this was a drug american drone plane that attacked his convoy alongside the french were warplanes and peace to it so really this was a joint french nato u.s.

and murder khadafi 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. and. a solution to the european debt crisis promised by e.u. leaders has been left in serious jeopardy this after a key meeting of finance ministers before the leaders 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 and 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 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. on the love of the future and. we play into protests and the squares the situation in greece is really tough and everything is reversed from what we used to noise few years ago we use our own lyrics to show how we perceive things that are happening in our society that to. us this was performing in unison may come naturally to the group you're using leaders have increasingly been failing to sing from the same page 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 and the european project actually is

dying as we look at it as the battle continues to come up with a rescue plan for the e.u. talks have been marred by bickering amongst the member states. we now have the greeks abusing the germans they'll 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 those in power in brussels in athens are to blame is simple. who gains the full the needs of the people all the politicians have to speak it's other nobody spigots on them that's the big problem

there's a big problem. everybody doing that everything he wanted from his party the left by the right but the and nobody here there are people who says that this is as 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. the fantasy you're using quizes mumbles on e.u. leaders assertions that they can find a solution has left them standing to sun like a broken record. so. that despite the u.k. parliament voting against a proposed to hold a referendum on the even the european union they remain strong sentiment in the

country conservative party m.p. douglas cause well told r.t. that even structure simply doesn't fit the global financial environment any more in that interview coming up next now. that you're paying a nine hundred fifty is 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 out. u.s. lawmakers are calling for the white house to punish china for what they call predatory

trade tactics they claim beijing is keeping its currency know to boost its exports making u.s. exports to china more expensive this month the u.s. senate passed a bill that would have to impose tariffs on chinese products well for more on this story we're joined now by beijing based journalist. thank you for joining us now well firstly do you think washington's accusations are justified in this. justified and some sense by some estimates nine hundred ninety china is the increase in china's manufacturing center sector has cost the u.s. three million jobs and partly that's due to the fact that the renminbi is controlled. has been allowed to appreciate appreciate twenty percent since two thousand and five but lawmakers say that simply not enough. well there are. american lawmakers to start to come see us and use other tactics against china do you think they will knowing that china strongly opposes such. well you know i mean

there's a lot of back and forth right now between lawmakers that as you said that this legislation this bill passed the senate earlier this month and now there are similar legislation being proposed in the house but the house speaker john boehner . cautions it is against this legislation so far and he says that it may start a trade war he also says as well as the house majority leader eric cantor that they need input from the white house in this legislation so far administration officials are also political they're also had they say that while they while the remedy needs to appreciate that the legislation passed by the senate violates the rules so i think. i think that it lawmakers that while they want to appeal to their base and they want to appeal to voters who are who feel disenfranchised and who feel that i can. downturn at the same time they don't want to start a trade war with china and that potential is very real what indeed what all the long term consequences of that could that happen do you think

a trade war your opinion. potentially potentially a chinese newspapers say that when they've written about the bill in this legislation that that's passed the senate they have spoken and i have used the words trade war and that it's possible and of course such a such a bill if it were passed if it were to make it through the house and be passed as well signed into into legislation by the president which that's a long road ahead if all were to happen then but it would heighten tensions at a time precisely a time when china the united states and the rest of the world need to work together to solve this economic crisis but i think no matter what happens in the house in the senate china is going to focus on his internal problems in the months ahead china's economy is already slowing down some economists say that china is headed for a hard landing and if it turns economy slows down too much in the months ahead they will stop revaluation the renminbi they want to allow it to appreciate and take other measures so i think china no matter what the united states does china is going to focus on its own economy and what it needs to do to keep its economy

growing as you mentioned economies of course the u.s. debt clock keeps taking really as the country struggles to reduce its deficits could be seen as an attempt to blame someone else for the economic situation in the merica. oh for sure for sure i mean the united states has made mistakes of its own accord in terms of deregulation of the financial industry in terms of the huge amount of debts as you mentioned and also the united states is facing a problem that every country is which is globalization and that isn't china's fault china's not not the only problem here but at the same time according to some some numbers. more than three million jobs have been lost manufacturing jobs in the united states since one thousand nine hundred eighty and that's partly due to globalization but it's also due to china's state run companies. china's control of its currency and all these measures which by many assets both in europe and united states would be considered unfair trade practices. ok. journalist based in beijing

i thank you for that light on r.t. . the us used secret new weapons in iraq that caused increases in cancer and congenital illnesses and innocent civilians that's according to a new international study their search has found that the use of uranium enriched arms by american forces in the infamous battle of fallujah in two thousand and four was much wider than previously thought. he spoke to christopher busby one of the authors of the report they 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 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 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 onto our website plenty more in our top stories also in store for you right now including the cold shutdown wells an eight billion dollars plan to the first ever city but not efficient climate in the arctic thus. giving you a first look at moscow's and lavishly refurbished the bolshoi theatre two days before its grand reopening that other picture galleries and.
