3:01 am
abuses they were rebelling against when they overthrew colonel gadhafi inserts the number of people who actually executed has risen to three hundred this comes on top of criticism that cut off his body was put on public display inside the meat market fridge for five days. and he said no way reports are from tripoli. one of the major concerns here are light weapons fire arms that are massively in the hands of the population here and there are efforts from the end to see to try to collect and get people to willingly disarm and bring their weapons back but so far it doesn't look like the 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 what that number means walking down one or two blocks here in the capital you can see maybe two times or three times more got amounts of automatic weapons being waved around but even more
3:02 am
serious concern here in terms of security about weapons storage 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 answer the security situation here very very sensitive just recently some three hundred people were found 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 the prophecy 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 i allot of the things you're seeing in the mass media is people just full of elation that gadhafi is down that dead when you go out and
3:03 am
speak to people and push them a little bit you do find that there are a lot of people here that are has a chance to express just just horrible feelings about the way he was killed not to mention the fact that he wasn't of course very good morning to muslim tradition he was put on display for days and only after thousands of people came to see him was he. so it's not exactly as it seems from afar what people feel about you know we come here and actually start talking to them that however not the case in the last three have some people very outspoken and happy about the way he was killed this was really the mass media experts are telling us that's because of the great many of his secret dealings with the west. where you get reports from the first turn by following on twitter posting pictures of the damage done to the capital and sharing her first one precious you can find that on the personal feed. underscore
3:04 am
is of course from twitter. mention in her reports that mainstream us media reacted to his death with a wave of cheers under proveable. and reports from washington on how brutal lynching was trumpeted as the door brave new world. it started with cheers. the joy of killing the african leaders spread like wildfire in the us 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 preferred 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 and no miracle soldier killed probably great opportunities ahead seems like the perfect and you were fearful one that's means 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 a big not very original just like saddam hussein caught in the hole will mark
3:05 am
a dot he was a bad guy overall many of us would argue how bad he was for them considering what they don't people don't see the welfare rights but in the eye of the west audience as presented by the media he was the ultimate evil i mean it's a demonization every step of the way against gadhafi in the media today always one one man becomes the 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 canal his killing in the eye of the public affectively or grazes the bad taste after the nato campaign no mention of sleep in civilians killed in nato strikes number which talked about the structure in the country caused by those strikes conduct this killing is presented
3:06 am
as a triumph a triumph which can create a perception that somehow it's perfectly ok probated 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 archy. columnist for u.s. based think tank foreign policy in focus says the west should be outraged rather than pleased by the way the daughter was killed. i think that there were tremendous sighs of relief all over capitals in western europe i don't think it was miss king when the hillary clinton the u.s. secretary of state said that he should be killed or captured in what forty eight hours forty eight hours later he was killed this is a guy who knew quite literally right of where the bodies were buried this is
3:07 am
somebody who cut all sorts of deals with the french and 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 and he very quickly ended up death. the role of the alliance and gadhafi his death is also the topic of debate for peace in the valley his guests latest edition of crosstalk is a preview of what's coming your way to the south. 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 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 always go
3:08 am
well here in the selfish never really this was a drop american drone plane that attacked his convoy alongside the french were warplanes and these two so really this was a joint french nato u.s. murder could r.p. 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 murders. it's. a solution to the european debt crisis promised by either is or has been left in serious jeopardy so after a key meeting of finance ministers before the leaders summit on wednesday was cancelled down over the heads of states will be able to come up with a rescue package on their mood and one hopes for a political way out of the crisis are fading some of inspiration and sweat. suit
3:09 am
for three points as it took to continue to try to find a resolution to the financial crisis we've met people who think through the political rhetoric and telling it how it really. meet soul sister and the greek great east political rap lyrics have been striking a cool it with people. if you were in. 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 greek using leaders have increasingly been failing to sing from
3:10 am
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 the facile continues to come up with a risky clan for the e.u. to be marred by bickering amongst member states. we now have the greeks abusing the germans they know bernie you flags in openly with swastikas brought 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 and becca in the most extraordinary way. is greek struggle to do with the sturdy measures including cuts to jobs wages and pensions criticism to steve's claims he's in paris and brussels in athens are to
3:11 am
blame this in political gains to the needs of the people all the politicians have to speak it's other nobody speak it's other that's the big problem that's a big problem. everybody that everything he wanted from this party left. and nobody here the people closest to this one as major political decisions and talks continue to take place behind closed doors it's all systems are determined to take the discussion back to the streets. in the us if we get our message across to people and help them understand if you we've succeeded in something or we don't know where the situation is going we know why this is started but we don't know where and. when you see you're using crisis mumbles on eat his assertions it leads you find
3:12 am

3:13 am
a prosperous trade lot it turns out we shackle well solved i think we're better off . so it has repeatedly called on the e.u. which is beijing's biggest trading partner to get its house in order as the debt crisis shows no signs of letting up it could be the asian powerhouse that comes to the rescue professor chain from the university of international business and economics in beijing china all truth carefully for the mistakes made by these in tackling their problems. china will join the bad bad been of all the saviors by china will not be our white knight in this regard because the understanding is that it is those in if you do countries who are having the problem 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
3:14 am
a specific solution even which china can draw in to help china is not very satisfied satisfied with the fact that those that the austerity plan didn't come on right time and there are still the war between different stakeholders within within this format. on the other hand they in the size since in this the slow pace in of their members particularly those leading members in solving those issues so that really saves sever ties to a number of people in terms of their patients to come up to the rescue plan. also ahead for you this hour the police versus the protesters anti corporate rallies spreading across the u.s. see more clashes as officers used tear gas to disperse crowds of demonstrators.
3:15 am
and in business russia's gas monopoly gas but maybe records of it if this is here twice the amount paid a year ago will have more for your business political career. be us to use a secret weapon as in iraq caused increases in cancer and continue to illnesses and innocent civilians that's according to a new international study research has found that the use of uranium enriched by american forces in the infamous battle for doodoo in two thousand and four was much wider than previously thought. he 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 rate of 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
3:16 am
a high level of uranium and it was not from depleted uranium it was actually slightly enrich uranium and it lead us to believe that more military systems use a whole new set of weapons which contain over producing enriched uranium folks so various reasons which are not entirely sure about the 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 are perfectly aware that it's a kind of poison gas that has a delayed effect you're not allowed to use force and gases 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
3:17 am
people who are competent these are 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. well. plenty more in our top stories also in store for you right now conquering the cold. an eight billion dollars plan to build the first of a city official climate. and bring you a first look at moscow's and obviously refurbished. two days before its grand reopening grounds that down a piece of. police
