public display a meat market fridge for five days with no way joins us live now from which the. violence in libya has to be over at least for now but how is the situation for ordinary people there trying to go about their day knowing. that one of the major concerns here are weapons fire arms that are massively in the hands of the population here there are efforts from the end to see to try to collect them get people to willingly disarm and bring their weapons back but so far it doesn't look like that idea is working out we went to one collection center if you will yesterday it covers an area of tripoli and for the entire day only about ten or twelve a k forty seven have had been returned just to give you an idea of what that number means walking down one or two blocks here in the capital you can see maybe two times or three times more that amount of automatic weapons being waved around but even more serious concern here in terms of security about weapons storage
2:02 am
arsenals unguarded warehouses full of weapons what happens if those weapons get into the wrong hands already human rights watch has expressed grave concern about ground to air missiles that could essentially hit civilian aircraft if they get into the wrong hands of the security situation here very very sensitive i just recently some three hundred people were from murdered in sirte with their hands tied behind their back that is sparking accusations of political executions which is exactly what these former rebels were fighting against another thing that they just stinks if you will of hypocrisy of course is the way they could daffyd was killed i mean we saw the brutal gruesome footage that went viral the whole world watched including of course libyans here and although of lot of the things you're seeing in the mass media is people just full of a lation that gadhafi has done that dead when you go out and speak to people and.
2:03 am
pushed them a little bit you do find that there are a lot of people here that are hesitant to express just just horrible feelings about the way he was killed not to mention the fact that he was of course very different to muslim tradition he was put on display for days and only after thousands of people came to see him was he finally buried just so so it's not exactly as it seems from afar what people feel about gadhafi how we come here and actually start talking to them that however not the case in the last three how some people very outspoken unhappy about the way gadhafi was killed especially the mass media experts are telling us not to because gadhafi with him to the grave took many of his secrets of dealings with the west archie's going to each camp of course from washington. it started with cheers and. the joy of killing the african leaders spread like wildfire in the us media it cost us a trillion dollars to get saddam and a billion dollars to get gadhafi the libya says they're going to pay back the
2:04 am
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 lot of all to be produced no american soldier killed probably great opportunities ahead seems like the perfect new world fears 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 arab dictators they are not very original just like saddam hussein caught amid a whole new market dot he was a bad guy overall many of us would argue how bad he was for them considering what the doctors have done and the social welfare and women's rights but i think the eye 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 big. the justification for destroying an entire country. for
2:05 am
a few days the media savored the bloody medias of belfast 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 none much talk about that the structure in the country caused by those strikes could up 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 become more tempting to try the same methods somewhere else i'm going to check out reporting from washington r.t. . columnist for u.s. based think tank of foreign policy in focus says the west should be outraged rather than pleased by the way gadhafi was killed i think that there were tremendous size
2:06 am
of relief all over capitals in western europe i don't think it was misspeaking when hillary clinton the u.s. secretary of state said that he should be killed or captured in forty eight hours forty eight hours later he was killed this is a guy who knew quite literally where to where the bodies were buried this is somebody who cut all sorts of deals with the french but also the british and the italians and to a certain extent the americans as well i think they did not want him put on trial for any reason and i am not miss lightest that surprised that he was captured alive thank you very quickly ended up death for the role of the alliance and get off his death is also the topic of debate for peter the bell and his guests in the latest edition of crosstalk has a preview what's coming your way next hour. i just don't think there's any sign
2:07 am
that there's a war crime involved here i don't think it's murder and i think it's part of an ugly process that we call war the murder was in the ambulance so far as i can tell by the young libyan 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 a week ago here in the city also never the big this was a drug american drone plane that attacked his convoy alongside a french one war plane and these two so really this was a joint french nato u.s. murder khadafi the fact that he was technically alive as he got out as he scrambled out of his convoy hardly negates the role of the united states in his murder of.
2:08 am
a solution to the european debt crisis promised lead is has been left in serious jeopardy so after a key meeting of finance ministers before the leaders' summit on wednesday he was counseled many now doubt that the heads of states will be able to come up with a rescue package on their own hopes for its way out of the crisis of meeting some of finding inspiration elsewhere. 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 he's political rap lyrics have been striking a chord with people. if you were in.
2:09 am
the protests and the squares the situation in greece is really tough and everything is reversed from what we used to know a few years ago that we use our own lyrics to show how we perceive things that are happening in our society. was the feeling in unison may come naturally to the group using leaders have increasingly been failing to sing from the same page you can all 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 best to continue to come up with a risky plan for the e.u. to be marred by bickering among member states. we now have the greeks abusing the germans they know bernie you flags openly with swastikas drawn on them we have
2:10 am
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 and becca in the most extraordinary way. this week struggle to do with the sturdy measures including cuts to jobs wages and pensions protesters in the streets claim these impairing presses and acton's are to blame simply. who gains the flooding needs and the people although. it's rather nobody. that's the big problem that's the big problem. everybody everything here want to be left. and nobody here early people this is just as easy as major political decisions and tools continue to take place behind closed doors the system is determined to take the discussion back to
2:11 am
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. to. see you're using crisis. made you find a solution and then standing sound like a broken record. in. the u.k. parliament voting against a proposal to hold a referendum on leaving the european union there remains a strong sentiment in the country conservative party m.p. . told r.t. the e.u. structure simply doesn't fit the global financial environment any more. coming up in full in twenty minutes time. here painting in a nine hundred fifty s.
2:12 am
political structure it's an outdated architecture for a modern continent when we joined the european union or what became the european union and 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 block it turns out we shackled ourselves to a corpse. i think we're better off out. china has repeatedly called on the e.u. which is beijing's biggest trading partner to get its house in order and as the debt crisis shows no signs of letting up it could be the asian powerhouse that comes to the rescue professor from the university of international business and economics in beijing believes china will tread carefully following mistakes made by
2:13 am
these in tackling their problems. china will join the battle of all the saviors about 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 whole will be also the 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 kind drawing to help china is not very satisfied satisfied with the fact that those that the austerity plan didn't come on the right time and there are still the war between different stakeholders within within this fall not. on the other hand they indecisive and there is the slow pacing of their members particularly those leading members in solving those issues
2:14 am
so that really saves several taj a number of people in terms of their patients to come up to the rescue plan. well so they had few the sound the police versus the protesters and to put rallies spreading across the u.s. dozens of fresh arrests in ten minute drive squads and tear gas and rubber bullets in the city will be tense. and business russia's gas monopoly gas from a pay record to later this year was the amount paid a year ago but i have also read in a business bulletin coming up shortly. the u.s. used secret new weapons in iraq that cost increases in cancer and congenital illnesses in innocent civilians that's according to a new international study their search has found that the u.s. so if you mean by american forces in the infamous battle for nugent two thousand and four was much wider than previously thought. to christopher busby one of the

authors of the report may find some of the images in this interview disturbing. 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 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 enriched 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 it's a 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
2:16 am
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 revisited. later log onto our web site for plenty more on our top stories also in store feel right now on concreting cold russia unveils an eight
