ortiz in the tsunami 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 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 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
5:02 am
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 can 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 are 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 express just just horrible feelings about the way he was killed not to mention the fact that he wasn't of course very devoted to muslim tradition he was put on display for days and only after thousands of
5:03 am
people came to see him was he. we buried the 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 gadhafi was killed especially the mass media an expert you're telling us that's because gadhafi with him to the grave took many of his secrets of dealings with the west. you can get and he says reports 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 the next gadhafi is amongst the crowd we can find on her personal feat to underscore karma is of course retreat. and he said mentioned in her report a mainstream us media reacted to gadhafi as death with a chorus of cheers and approval he's going to change you can reports from washington with brutal lynching was trumpeted as the dawn of
5:04 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 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 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 dangers they are not very original just like saddam hussein caught amid a whole new market da he was a bad guy over many of us would argue how bad he was for them considering what they don't see him down the welfare rights but i think the ire of the western audience
5:05 am
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 music. and laughed at similarities between his character in a ditch and that of saddam hussein all the cheering about qaddafi's 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 not much talk about that this structure in the country caused by those strikes conduct 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
5:06 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 r.t. . well called how in the calmest for us 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 at capitals in western europe i don't think it was misspeaking when hellary 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 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
5:07 am
he very quickly ended up death. well the role of the alliance gadhafi is death is also the topic of debate for peter lavelle his guests in the latest edition of crosstalk well here's a preview of what's coming you way they did today. i just don't think there is 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 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 here in the selfish never the big this was a drug american drone plane that attacked his convoy alongside a french one war plane and these two so really this was a joint french nato u.s. and murder could be the fact that he was technically alive but he got out as he
5:08 am
scrambled out of his convoy hardly negates the role of the united states in his murder. and he. was. the solution to the european debt crisis promised by e.u. leaders has been left in serious jeopardy so after a key 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 but while hopes for a political way out of the crisis of fading some are finding inspiration elsewhere so it's the sarah 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.
5:09 am
meet soul sister and the greek hip hop he's political rap lyrics have been striking a chord with people about forty other. people and. 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 to. us this was performing in unison may come naturally to the group 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
5:10 am
dying as we look at it as the battle continues to come up with a rescue plan for the e.u. talks have been 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 and bicker 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 these in power in brussels in athens are to blame is simple. who 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 that everything he wants from his
5:11 am
party the left but the. and nobody here they're people all this is that this is as 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. the fantasy you're using quizes mumbles on e.u. leaders assertions that they can find a solution has left them standing to sound like a broken record. so r.t. . now despite 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.
5:12 am
douglas cars well told r.t. the e.u. structure simply doesn't fit the global financial environment any more so look at the interview coming up in full nextel. the year paying one hundred fifty is 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 bloc it turns out we shackled ourselves 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 in order and this of
5:13 am
debt crisis shows no sign of letting up it could be the asian powerhouse that comes to the rescue but professor lubow chain from the university of international business and economics in beijing believes china will tread carefully for the mistakes made by e.u. leaders in tackling their problems. china will join the bandwagon 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 or 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

this format. on the other hand the indecisive miss and the slow pace in of their members particularly those who are leading members in solving those issues so that really saves several taj the number of people in terms of their patients to come up to the rescue plan. was so they had few this hour in the program the police versus the protesters. and corporate rallies spreading across the u.s. see more clashes as officers used tear gas to disperse crowds of demonstrators also . think business russia's gas monopoly gasper may pay record dividends this here twice the amount paid a year ago will have more for you in our business bulletin coming out of. the united states use secret new weapons in iraq that caused increases in cancer and

5:16 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 in their own children but the urine measurements that have been made on them show no depleted uranium so the idea that
