5:01 am
colonel gadhafi insert the number of people have actually executed has risen to three hundred this comes on top of criticism that gadhafi his body was put on public display inside a meat market for edge for five days parties and sonali 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 there are efforts from the end to see 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 of that amount of automatic weapons being waved around but even more serious concern here in terms of security about weapons
5:02 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 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 defeat was killed i mean we saw the brutal gruesome footage that went viral the whole world watching hooting 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
5:03 am
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 buried forty two muslim tradition he was put on display for days and only after thousands of people came to see him was he for. a newly married 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 years how some people very outspoken and happy about the way jackie was killed especially the mass media experts are telling us that's because gadhafi with him to the grave took many of his secrets and dealings with the west. and he says reports are from libya first hand by following on twitter and the latest tweet she discusses the reaction to pictures of young fighters with guns as one really wonders if mexico dolphins amongst the crowd we can find out on her personal feat. karma is of course retreat
5:04 am
. in the sun mentioned in her report a mainstream us media reacted to gadhafi is definitely a chorus of cheers and approval he's going to church he can reports from washington . lynching was trumpeted as the dawn of a 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 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 warfare 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 these are a big gators they are not very original just like saddam hussein caught amid
5:05 am
a whole new market he was a bad guy although many of us would argue are bad he was for them considering what we're going to feel during the superbowl fearing the rights but in the eye of the u.s. audience as presented by the media he was all too much 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 savored the bloody minded uses. and laughed at similarities between his camp during the big and out of saddam hussein all the cheering about could all face killing in the eye of the public effectively or grazes the bad taste after the nato campaign no mention of weakness of millions killed in nato strikes none what you talk about but the structure in the country caused by those strikes
5:06 am
that is killing is presented 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 become more tempting to try the same methods somewhere else i'm going to check our reporting from russian arche. how didn't columnist for the us based think tank foreign policy in focus says the west should be outraged rather than pleased by the way and off he was killed. i think that there were tremendous sighs of relief all over a capital so in western europe i don't think it was miss king when hellary clinton the u.s. secretary of state said that he should be killed or captured in clark forty eight hour forty eight hours later he was killed how this is a guy who knew quite literally where to where the bodies were buried how this is

somebody who cut all sorts of peel's 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 there are a lot of the unknowns in the dolphins death is also the topic of debate for peace in the valley his guests in the latest edition of crosstalk well here's a preview of what's coming your way they did 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 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 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 and
5:08 am
everything because this was a drug 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. and murder could r.p. the fact that he was technically alive but he got out as he scrambled out of his convoy hardly negates the role of the united states in his murders. and he. was. a solution to the european debt crisis promised by e.u. leaders have been left in serious jeopardy so after a key meeting of the next ministers before the this summit on wednesday was cancelled many no doubt that the heads of state will be able to come up with a rescue package on their own but all hopes for a political way out of the crisis are leading some are funny inspiration elsewhere
5:09 am
. as the talks continue to try to find a resolution to the financial crisis we've let the people who are cutting through the political rhetoric and telling it how it really is. meet soul sister and the greek hip hop great he's political rap lyrics have been striking a chord with people. towards. the future and. the replay of the protests and the squares the situation in greece is really tough everything is reversed from what we used to annoy few years ago we use our own lyrics to show how we perceive things that are happening in our society. was the boss performing in unison may come naturally to the group you're using leaders have increasingly been failing to sing from the same page you can all take twenty

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 for producing enrich uranium for various reasons which we're not entirely sure about the secret weapon 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
