tripoli. one of the major concerns here are weapons of firearms that are massively in the hands of the population here there are efforts from the entries to try to collect and get people to reeling we 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
6:02 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 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 expressed 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. so it's not exactly as it seems from
6:03 am
afar what people feel about you know we come here and actually start talking to them that however not the case in the last three of how some people very outspoken and happy about the way gadhafi was killed just really the mass media experts are telling us not to because gadhafi with them to the grave took many of the secrets of dealings with the west well you can get a nice reports from libya first town by following her on twitter and her latest we should discuss this the reaction to pictures of young fighters with guns as one wonders if the next gadhafi is among the crowd while you can find out on her personal feed and underscore is of course retreating. now as in her report mainstream us media reacted to gadhafi as death with a chorus of cheers and approval our reports from washington on how a brutal lynching was trumpeted as the dawn of a brief new world. it started with cheers and. the joy of killing the
6:04 am
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 world fears 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 that these arab dictators they are not very original just like saddam hussein caught a middle hole will mark a dot he was a bad guy otoh many of us would argue how bad he was for them considering what they don't people down in the social welfare and women's rights but i think the ire of the u.s. audience as presented by the media he was the ultimate evil it's
6:05 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 medusa's. 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 nine months talk about that the structure in the country cost by those strikes conduct 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
6:06 am
i'm going to check our reporting from washington r.t. . con how and a columnist 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 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 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
6:07 am
and he very quickly ended up death while the role of the alliance in a get off is death is also the topic of debate for peter lavelle and his guests and the latest edition of crosstalk well here's a preview of what's coming your way next hour. 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 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 is ago either the selfish never the big this was a drop of 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 that he got out as he
