cheering the killing of one man while ignoring the deaths of thousands of civilians in libya and this is point out the problems of the u.s. media's approach to the dump his demise. plans on saving the rest as a crucial meeting of european finance ministers is cancelled ahead of wednesday's summit casting doubts over the prospects of a solution being found the deepening debt crisis. and a new international study says the u.s. used secret ukrainian based weapons in iraq causing high levels of cancer birth defects party talks to the author of the report. world news and comments twenty four hours a day this is r.t. libya's new rulers are increasingly being accused of the kinds of abuses they were rebelling against when they overthrew the dauphine insert the number of people that

actually executed as missing three hundred comes on top of criticism cut off his body was put on public display inside a meat market fridge for five days and it's another way reports now 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 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 type 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
4:02 am
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 his civilian aircraft if they get into the wrong hands the security situation here a very very sensitive time 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 the prophecy of course is the way they could down he was killed i mean we saw the brutal hussam footage that went viral the whole world watching cluing of course libyans here and although a lot of the things you're seeing are in the mass media as people just full of elation that gadhafi is dead that dead when you go out and speak to people and push them a little bit you do find that there are
4:03 am
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 disappointing to muslim tradition he was put on display for days and only after thousands of people came to see him was he. very discouraged so it's not exactly as it seems from afar what people feel about the daffy how we come here and actually start talking to them that however not the case in the last three how some people very outspoken and happy about the way jackie was killed especially the mass media acts were telling us that's because gadhafi with them to the grave took many of his secrets and dealings with the west. where you can get reports from the be a first hand by following her on twitter and her latest tweet she discusses the reaction which is of no guns and one wonders if he's on the ground like that person feet. is of course retreating.
4:04 am
he said mentioned in the report mainstream us media reacted to his death with a wave of cheers and the proven he's going to church reports from washington on how a brutal lynching was trumpeted as the dawn of a brave new world. it started with cheers but the joy of killing the african leaders spread like wildfire in the u.s. because there's 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 nor merican soldier killed probably great opportunities ahead seems like the perfect new word fearful 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 where i tell you that these are big hitters they are not very
4:05 am
original just like saddam hussein caught amid a whole new market da he was a bad guy although many reviews would argue how bad he was for them considering what the he'll going through the well bearing 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 the justification one leader of a country becomes a justification for destroying an entire country. for a few days the media seabird the bloody music. and math that 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 grazes the bad case after the nato campaign no mention of thinking civilians killed in nato strikes not much talk about the
4:06 am
destruction in the country caused by those strikes could offer this 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 campaigning to try the same methods somewhere else i'm going to check our reporting from washington our team we'll call in the hot in columnist for u.s. based think tank foreign policy 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 capitol so in western europe i don't think it was. misspeaking when the hillary clinton 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 right of where the bodies were buried how this is
4:07 am
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 research and i am not in the slightest bit surprised that he was captured alive and he very quickly ended up death. well the role of the alliance a good elf is death is also the topic of debate for people as well as his guests latest edition of cross talk is a preview of what's coming your way later today. i just don't think there's any sign that there is a war crime involved here i don't think it's murder 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 he attack on the convoy here in the city also
4:08 am
there should never this was a drug that american drone plane that attacked his convoy alongside the french were warplanes and these two really this was a joint french nato u.s. and murder could r.p. the fact that he was technically alive as he got out he scrambled out of his convoy hardly mccabe's the role of the united states in his murder of. a solution to the european debt crisis promised by e.u. leaders has been left in serious jeopardy itself team 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 hopes it's a cool way out of the crisis of fading some are finding inspiration elsewhere there
4:09 am

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 of the mas by bickering among the member states. we know how the greeks abusing the germans they know bernie you flags in a benzo probably was 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 becca in the most extraordinary way. this week struggles to do with the sturdy measures including cuts to jobs wages and pensions protesters in the streets

a corpse i think we're better off without. it but china has repeatedly called on the e.u. which is beijing's biggest trading partner to get its house in order and the crisis shows them 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 believes china will trade carefully for the mistakes made by leaders in tackling their problems. china will join the bandwagon of all the savior is 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 will be also their problem solvers in the first place and then what will be the neighboring countries or the community of the of the eurozone can come up with
4:14 am
a specific solution in which china can join 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 poor between different stakeholders within the within this format and on the other hand the indecisive from this and the slow pace in of their members particularly those who are leading members in solving those issues so that really saves several taj a number of people in terms of their patients to come up to the rescue plan. well so the head if you the sound of police versus the protesters. and see corporate rallies spreading across the u.s. see more clashes as offices used tear gas to disperse crowds of demonstrators plus

4:16 am
a high level of uranium it was not from depleted uranium it was actually slightly enrich uranium and it lead us to believe that not military systems use a whole new set of weapons which contain or produce it enrich uranium for various reasons which we're not entirely sure about secret weapon and it does cause these indiscriminate effects on populations which are really quite horrifying and always in 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 but 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
4:17 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 as in their own children but the urine measurements that have been made on them so no depleted uranium so the idea that these congenital malformation have been caused by uranium has been discounted and this needs to be revisited. of course in log on to our web site for plenty more on our top stories also in store for you online right now concrete cold russian bells an eight billion dollars plan to build the first of a city an artificial climate in the arctic plus. we bring you a first. look at moscow's a lavishly refurbished also theatre two days before its grand reopening the grounds that and other picture galleries that r.t. dot com.
