bridge for five days ortiz and he said no way reports now from tripoli. one of the major concerns here are white white pins of firearms that are massively in the hands of the population here 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 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 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 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
3:02 am
get into the wrong hands of 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 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 i allot of the things you're seeing in the mass media as people just full of elation that gadhafi has done that dead when you go out and speak to people and push them a little bit you do find that there are a lot of people here that are hesitant to expressed just just horrible feelings about the way humans killed not to mention the fact that he wasn't of course very disappointing to muslim tradition he was put on display for days and only after
3:03 am
thousands of people came to see him was he. very just so so it's not exactly as it seems from afar what people feel about gadhafi we come here and actually start talking to them that however not the case in the last three have some people very outspoken unhappy about the way gadhafi was killed especially the mass media experts are telling us that's because gadhafi with him to the grave took many of his secrets of dealings with the west. where you can get reports from the be a first hand by following on twitter she's posting pictures of the damage done to the capital and sharing her first hundred questions you find out on the personal feat. underscore is of course we tweet. mentioned in her report a mainstream us media reacted to gadhafi is death with a wave of cheers under prove well she's got it you can report from washington on how a brutal lynching was trumpeted as the dawn of
3:04 am
a brave new world. it started with cheers. the joy of killing the african leaders spread like wildfire in the us media it cost 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 of all to be produced you know american soldier killed probably great opportunities ahead seems like the perfect you were one that's meant to be a lesson to others but i think it sends of an important message to other leaders in the region but i tell you these arab dictators 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 from them considering the dark people down the social welfare and women's rights but in the eye of the west audience as presented by the media he was the ultimate evil it's
3:05 am
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 midges 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 league in civilians killed in nato strikes none much talk about that this 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 it become more tempting to try the same methods somewhere else
3:06 am
i'm going to check the reporting from washington r.t. . or call in the hut in the economist for u.s. based think tank 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 sighs 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 were going 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
3:07 am
thank you very quickly ended up death. well the role of the alliance to gadhafi is death is also the topic of debate for peter develop his guests they to cross-talk to preview what's coming your way to the south. i just don't think there's any sign 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 of the selfish never the big this was a drug american drone plane that attacked his convoy alongside a french wall warplane and these two so really this was a joint french nato u.s. murder could alfie the fact that he was technically alive he got out as he
3:08 am
scrambled out of his convoy hardly negates the role of the united states in his murderous. solution to the european debt crisis promised by e.u. leaders has been left in serious jeopardy as after a key meeting of finance ministers before the this summit on wednesday was cancelled and now down over the heads of states will be able to come up with a rescue package on the moon and all hopes for a political way out of the crisis are fading some are finding inspiration elsewhere . soon 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.
3:09 am
the. meat soul sister and the greek hip hop he's political rap lyrics have been striking a chord with people. if you were in. the play of 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 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 best continues
3:10 am
to come up with a risky plan for the e.u. to be marred by bickering among the member states. we now have the greeks abusing the germans they now burn the you flags in openly with swastikas drawn on them i 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. this week struggle to do with the sturdy measures including cuts to jobs wages and pensions protesters in the streets claim in paris and brussels and acton's are to blame the political gains the food and needs of the people all the politicians have to speak it's other nobody spigots on them that's the big problem that's the big problem. everybody got everything he wanted. left.
3:11 am
and nobody here. people the school system. as a major political decisions and talks continue to take place behind closed doors so the system is determined to take the discussion back to the streets. 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 is started but we don't know where. to annecy you're using crisis. maybe to find a solution and understanding something like throwing. the u.k. parliament to vote against a proposal to hold a referendum on leaving the european union there remains
3:12 am
a strong sentiment in the country conservative party m.p. told r.t. the eaves structure simply doesn't fit the global financial environment any more has a look at the interview coming up in. the year playing in 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 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 bloc it turns out we solved 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. as that crisis shows
3:13 am
no signs of letting up it could be the asian powerhouse that comes the risky professor chang from the university of international business and economics in beijing believes china will truly care for the following mistakes made by ease in tackling their problems. china will join the battle of all the saviors bud 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 in 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 the right time and there are still the war between different stakeholders within within this

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 of why didn't 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
3:16 am
reasons which we're not entirely sure about the secret weapon it 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 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 in their own children but the urine measurements that have been made on them show no depleted you. so the idea that
