the lines on our t.v. cheering the killing of running out while ignoring the doubts of thousands of civilians in libya analysts point out the problems the us media has approach to the dolphins demise. plans on saving the euro or risk as a crucial meeting of european finance ministers is cancelled ahead of wednesday's e.u. summit casting doubts over the prospects of a solution to be found it made debt crisis. and a new international study says the u.s. used secret uranium based weapons in iraq causing high levels of cancer and birth defects r.t. talks to an author of the report. to stop at three pm here in the russian capital and you're watching our t.v. now libya's new rulers are increasingly being accused of the kinds of abuses they
7:01 am
were rebelling against when they overthrew colonel gadhafi in search of the number of people allegedly executed has risen to three hundred now this comes on top of criticism that gadhafi is body was put on public display inside a meat market for it for five days archies and he said no 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 empty seats 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 a 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 about amount of automatic weapons being waved around but even more serious concerns here in terms
7:02 am
of security about weapons storage arsenals unguarded where houses 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 are very very sensitive and i 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 they just stinks if you will a prophecy of force is the way they can se was killed i mean we saw the brutal gruesome footage that went viral the whole world watched including of course libyans here and although i lot of the things you're seeing are in the mass media as people just full of elation that gadhafi has done that ted when you go out and speak to people and push them a little bit you do find that there are
7:03 am
a lot of people here that are husband chained to expressed just just horrible feelings about the way he was killed not to mention the fact that he wasn't of course buried to forty two muslim tradition he was put on display for days and only after thousands of people came to see him was he. so so it's not exactly as it seems from afar what people feel about gadhafi oh 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 the jockey was killed just for us really the mass media experts are telling us that's because gadhafi with them to the grave of many of the secrets of dealing with the west well you can get any sense reports from libya firsthand by following her on twitter and in her latest tweet she discusses the reaction to pictures of young fighters with guns as one reader wonders if the next gadhafi is among the crowd and you can find out on her personal feed that of
7:04 am
course r.t. underscore com is the tweeting. i was and he said mentioned in her report a mainstream us media reacted to get off his death with a chorus of cheers and approval artie's going to reports from washington on how a brutal lynching was trumpeted as the dawn of 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 we'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 lot of all to be produced and no american soldier killed probably great opportunities ahead seems like the perfect new world 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 when i tell you that these are big theaters they are not very original just like saddam hussein caught a little hole will mark a dot he was
7:05 am
a bad guy otoh many of us would argue how bad he was for them considering were cut off people don't listen well fearing women's rights but in the eye of the western 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 music ne and laughed at similarities between his character in a ditch and out of saddam hussein all the cheering about qaddafi is killing in the idea of the public effectively or grazes the bad taste after the nato campaign no mention of against civilians killed in nato strikes not much talk about the destruction in the country cost by those strikes could office killing is presented
7:06 am
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 does not become more tempting to try the same methods somewhere else i'm going to check our reporting from washington are today. a con hal 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. speaking when hillary 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 who where the bodies were buried this is somebody who cut all sorts of deals with the french and also the british and the italians
7:07 am
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 miss lightest that surprised that he was captured alive and he very quickly ended up death of the role of the alliance and gadhafi is death is also the topic of debate for peter lavelle and his guests in the latest edition of crossfire and he has a preview of what's coming your way in just over twenty minutes. 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 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 of the selfish never
7:08 am
alluded to this was a drop 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. could alfie the fact that he was technically alive that he got out as he scrambled out of his convoy hardly the role of the united states in his murders. and the. solution to the european debt crisis promised by e.u. leaders has been left in serious jeopardy that's after a key 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 and while hopes for a political way out of the crisis are fading some are finding inspiration elsewhere as sara for reports. as the talks continue to try to find
7:09 am
a resolution to the financial crisis 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 east political rap lyrics have been striking a chord with people. a lot of the people in. the protests and the squares the situation in greece is really tough and everything is reversed from what we used to know a few years ago that we use our own lyrics to show how we perceive things that are happening in our society. was the feeling in unison may come naturally to the group you're using leaders have increasingly been failing to sing from the same page you take twenty seven different countries with twenty one
7:10 am
different languages all with a road different histories and different forms of government you cannot take them and force them into one unitary form of government of the european project actually is dying as we look at the best solution tinnies to come up with a risky plan for the e.u. to be marred by bickering amongst member states. we now have the greeks abusing the germans they now bernie you flags in athens 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. this week struggle to do with the steady measures including cuts to jobs wages and pensions does in the streets claim these in power in brussels anakin is it to blame
7:11 am
this in political gains for the needs of the people all the politicians have to speak its other nobody speak it's on them that's the big problem that's the big problem everybody do everything he wanted from his party left. and nobody here. people this is this this is. major political decisions and talks continue to take place behind closed doors the system is 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 or we don't know where the situation is going we know why this started but we don't know where it will land. and you see you're using crisis mumbles on ease a sanctions that leaves you find a solution and then standing sound like breaking records. and

r.t. . despite the u.k. parliament voting against a proposal to hold a referendum on leaving the european union they remain strong and sentiment in the country conservative party m.p. douglas carswell told r.t. that the structure simply doesn't fit the global financial environment any more so here's a look at the interview coming up next hour. you're. a nine hundred fifty s. political structure it's an outdated architecture for a modern age 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. to date the european continent accounts for far less than that by twenty twenty it will 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 we're better off.

7:16 am
enriched uranium and it led us to believe that modern military systems use a whole new set of weapons which contain or produce it enriched uranium for various reasons which are 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 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 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 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 is in their own children but the urine measurements that have been made on them show no depleted uranium so the idea that these congenital malformation have been caused by uranium has been discounted and this needs to be revisit it. well do log on to our web site for plenty more on our top stories and also online for you right now conquering the cold russia unveils an eight billion dollars plan to build the first ever city with an artificial climate your pick plus. we bring you a first look at moscow's lavishly refurbished bolshoi theater two days before its ground reopening so you can browse that and other picture galleries at our dot com .
