4:01 am
points 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 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 of 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 get into the wrong hands of the security situation here
4:02 am
very very sensitive not 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 tap it was killed i mean we saw the brutal to some footage that went viral the whole world watched including of course libyans here and although a lot of the things you're seeing in the mass media is 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 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 wasn't 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 to so it's not exactly as it seems
4:03 am
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 and happy about the way gadhafi was killed especially the mass media acts which are telling us that's because gadhafi with him to the grave took many of his secrets and dealings with the west. you can get a nice reports from the be a first hand by following twitter and the latest tweet she discusses the reaction to pictures of young fighters with guns one wonders if the next he's on the. line on a personal feat. is of course retreating. in the sun mentioned in the report mainstream us media reacted to gadhafi is death with a wave of cheers and the prove it well he's going to church he can reports from washington now on how a brutal lynching was trumpeted as the dawn of
4:04 am
a brave new world. 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 traders they are not very original just like saddam hussein caught amid a whole new market guy he was a bad guy otoh many of us would argue how bad he was for them considering what you don't people don't see the welfare rights but i think the i have the u.s.
4:05 am
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 made use of the law 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 not much talk about that this structure in the country cost by those strikes conduct is 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
4:06 am
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 will call in the house and then columnist for u.s. based think tank foreign policy in focus says the west should be outraged rather than pleased by the way the duff he was killed. i think that there were tremendous sighs of relief all over at capitals 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 what 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 how 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 misled us bit surprised that he was captured alive and
4:07 am
he very quickly ended up death. well the role of the alliance adelphia's death is also the topic of debate for people the values 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's 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 of the selfish and everything this was a drug american drone plane that attacked his convoy alongside the french was warplanes and these two 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
4:08 am
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 itself to keep meeting of finance ministers before the this 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 while hopes for a political way out of the crisis of fading some are finding inspiration elsewhere as artists 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.
4:09 am
meet soul sister and the greek hip hop group he's political rap lyrics have been striking a chord with people. of a lot of people are important is we play into protests and the squares the situation in greece is really tough and everything is reversed from what we used to north few years ago we use our own lyrics to show how we perceive things that are happening in our society that. this was 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
4:10 am
to come up with a risky plan for the e.u. talks of being 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. that 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 for simply. who gains the flow the 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 that everything he wants from his party the left
4:11 am
by the right but the and nobody here there are people who says that israel has 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. fantasy you're using crisis mumbles on e.u. leaders assertions that they can find a solution has left them sounding to sound like a broken record. so. at the end. of the spike 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.
4:12 am
does this because well told r.t. the e.u. structure simply doesn't fit that level financial environment anymore look at the interview coming up in full let the south. the year painting 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 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 block it turns out we shackled ourselves to a corpse i think would. china has repeatedly called on the e.u. which is beijing's biggest trading partner to get its house in order and that the
4:13 am
debt crisis shows no signs of letting up it could be the asian pass that comes to the rescue professor said chain from the university of international business and economics in beijing believes china will try to carefully for the mistakes made by the this in tackling their problems china will join the battle of all the saviors bud china will not be our 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 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 war between different stakeholders within the within
4:14 am
this format. on the other hand the in decisiveness and the slow pace in of their members particularly those who are 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. well still ahead a few 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 plus . russia's gas monopoly gasper maybe record did it here twice the amount paid a year ago we'll have more for you in our business bulletin coming up from. the u.s. used secret new weapons in iraq that cause increases in cancer and congenital
4:15 am
illnesses in innocent civilians that's according to a new international study searchers found that the use of u. rain even reached by american forces in the infamous battle for luge or in two thousand and four was much wider than previously thought r.t. spoke to christopher busby one of the authors of the report you 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
4:16 am
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 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
4:17 am
these congenital malformation have been caused by uranium has been discounted and this needs to be revisited. of course you can log on to our web site for plenty more on our top stories also in store for you online right now on queen called russia unveils an eight billion dollars plan to build the first of a city an artificial climate in the arctic plus. we bring you a first. the lavishly refurbished both. two days before its grand reopening the grounds that other picture galleries. police have clashed with hundreds of demonstrators in the us city of oakland it happened when hundreds marched to show their anger at police clearing up an occupy wall street.
