artes and he said now i reports now from 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 end to see to try to collect them get people to reeling lead 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 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
7:02 am
the security situation here very very sensitive just recently some three hundred people were found murdered in sirte with their hands time 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 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 i 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 expressed just just horrible feelings about the way he was killed not to mention the fact that he wasn't of course very different from muslim tradition he was put on display for days and only. after
7:03 am
thousands of people came to see him was he finally married so it's not exactly as it seems from afar what people feel about gadhafi we come here and actually start talking to them that however not the case in the last three have some people very outspoken and happy about the way gadhafi was killed just really the mass media experts are telling us that's because gadhafi with him to the grave took many of his secrets of dealings with the west. well you can get a nice 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 and of course r.t. underscore cobb is tweeting. now isn't he so mentioned in her report the mainstream us media reacted to gadhafi his death with a chorus of cheers and approval. reports from washington on how a brutal lynching was trumpeted as the dawn of
7:04 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 world fears 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 hitters they are not very original just like saddam hussein caught a middle hole will mark a da he was a bad guy overall 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 eye of the u.s. audience as presented by the media he was the ultimate evil it's
7:05 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 legal civilians killed in nato strikes nine months talk about that this structure in the country caused 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
7:06 am
i'm going to check our reporting from washington r.t. . a con holland 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 you know 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 where the 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 bit surprised that he was captured alive
7:07 am
and he very quickly ended up death. well the role of the alliance that gadhafi is death is also the topic of debate for peter lavelle and his guests in the latest edition of crosstalk and here's a preview of what's coming your way in just over twenty minutes. i just don't think there's any sign that there is a war crime involved here i don't think it's murder and i think 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 a week 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 also be the fact that he was technically alive but he got out as he
7:08 am
scrambled out of his convoy hardly negates the role of the united states in his murder. now a 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 for ports. 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.

the. meat soul sister and the greek hip hop he's political rap lyrics have been striking a chord with people. if you were 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 greek 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 bastille
7:10 am
continues to come up with a risky plan for the e.u. to be marred by bickering among the member states. we now have the greeks abusing the germans they know bernie you flags in our things openly with swastikas drawn on them 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 becca in the most extraordinary way. this week struggle to do with the sturdy measures including cuts to jobs wages and pensions protesters in the streets claim these impairing presses enact things are to blame for this in political gains in needs and the people all the politicians have to speak it's other nobody speak it's on them that's the big problem that's the big problem. everybody got everything he wanted.

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 acted on the whole generations of the people who have been exposed and these are not people who are competent seas 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 these congenital malformation have been caused by uranium has been discounted and
