accuse the alliance of deliberately targeting get off these convoys which they say closed no threat to civilians nato was only allowed into libya by the un solely to protect citizens meanwhile the military alliance has postponed its very lucrative career live in air excuse me decision to end its libyan mission by the end of this month following calls from the interim government to stay on as art is a nice and now we discovered gadhafi is death isn't making the country safe. 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
9:02 am
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 the security situation here very very sensitive about 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 daffyd 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 of a lot of the things you're seeing in the mass media is people just full of elation
9:03 am
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 express 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 there we very so 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 where you have some people very outspoken unhappy about the way jackie was killed especially the mass media experts are telling us that's because gadhafi with them to the grave took many of his secrets and dealings with the west. well libya's new leaders are being increasingly accused of the kinds of abuses they were rebelling against when they overthrew what market off that number of people allegedly executed in the city of
9:04 am
sirte has risen to almost three hundred journalists james corbat who's been closely following what's happening says they are not the right people to be restoring law and order they never enjoyed the support of the majority of the tribes in in libya whereas gadhafi was obviously able to keep the country together for decades so we've gone from a regime of whatever sort it was what that was at least stable and enjoyed that there is some of the highest living standards in all of africa to know a regime that self evidently is incapable of keeping a country together without leave the military might of needle backing them up and i don't think anyone can argue that things have actually substantially improved for the libyan people in all of this so so again i'm not sure what the solution is but the i think the solution cannot be to do you have more of the problem that created this whole mess in the first place which is the nato back in to see forces. all the gruesome images of get off these lynching were bets with cheers and applause and
9:05 am
america's mainstream media which was quick to herald his demise as the dawning of a new libya artie's going to check out in finding out whether death sing of gadhafi is great is justified. 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 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 i think it sends of an important message to other leaders in the region but i tell you that these are big traders 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 from them considering what
9:06 am
they don't people don't see the welfare rights but i think the ire of the u.s. audience as presented by the media he was the ultimate evil it's the 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. 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 always is the bad taste after the nato campaign no mention of sleep in civilians killed in nato strikes not much talk about that this structure in the country caused by those strikes could office killing is presented as a triumph a triumph which can create a perception that somehow it's perfectly ok to invade
9:07 am
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 men. it's somewhere else i'm going to check out reporting from washington r.t.e. . well ahead on r.t. at three thirty pm g.m.t. peter lavelle grills his guest over whether gadhafi is death was an execution or the logical outcome to libya's civil war. 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 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 is ago even the selfish never the victim this was the drug the american drone plane that
9:08 am
attacked his convoy alongside the french war warplanes 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 scrambled out of his convoy hardly negates the role of the united states in his murder of. police in oakland california have been trying hard to scare off occupy wall street protesters that kept coming back to the city hall the activists wanted to reestablish a tent camp torn down earlier ninety seven people have been arrested. development so for us again that the police getting heavy against the ad to greet protesters across the u.s. it seems authorities keep resorting to the same tactics the latest if that is
9:09 am
resolved came from oakland what has been happening there. well the latest video that we have seen from oakland is arguably the most violent we've seen police against the occupy wall street protesters downtown oakland california resembles something of a war so on tuesday morning when the police attacked the occupy wall street protesters with tear gas flash grenades and rubber bullets shooting one man even in that he says with a rubber bullets now as mentioned these police officers were in attempting to even get the activists from their protest camp ground that they set up a few weeks ago outside city hall in clicked approximately five hundred riot police all were trying to take part in it to activists from a camp crowd and each time activists came by the clashes between police and
9:10 am
activists became even more violent it's being reported that police used tear gas and flash grenades about four different times against a group of probably three hundred and fifty people from what's being reported at least ninety seven protesters were arrested in all of course this coming out after clouds of tear gas the noise of plash grenades overwhelmed the area. and there were very kind of disturbing images caught on tape one of the police can be seen throwing a flash grenade right on to people trying to help an injured woman i know they're caught in the middle of the person is caught in the middle of classic tear gas was a person that was in a wheelchair and video shows of police officers still lobbying canisters at this
9:11 am
person and now this far for the conflict of course you know with the fact. but this occupy wall street movement has been growing louder has been growing larger has been blazing across the united states after launching here in new york city nearly six weeks ago now as far as what the police in oakland california say they say they cannot odd that protesters set up are was illegal and they had repeatedly told the activists that they had to leave that campground officials also say that police had no other choice todd to use the tactics they did because some of the protesters were throwing rocks and bottles at the officers and city police in oakland saying that at least two officers were injured so far and no video has surfaced showing any activist physically attacking any police officer and that has been pretty much the keystone each time there's been a report there's been
9:12 am
a video showing police getting quite arguably some would say brutal with these occupy activists and what critics say is that they're using very harsh force against americans that are trying to use their freedom of speech that are protesting u.s. corporate corporate influence on on politics are protesting corporate greed and as we see this movement gaining momentum we certainly are seeing the clashes between authority an octave it's growing more violent and growing larger so this of course i have from what i've seen from what i've been reporting in covering this has been the most i guess aggressive tactic because oakland california looks something like a war zone nerd remorse own on tuesday morning right thanks very much for that update art is very important keeping an eye developments in the u.s.
9:13 am
thank you. well we also spoke to independent journalist josh wolf a witness the police crackdown on protesters in oakland he puts much of the violence down to law enforcers having no sense of community with those who are demanding change i think that anytime the people demonstrate that they have power the authorities this city government is fearful of that i mean we live in a democracy supposedly but when the people come together in rallies and demonstrations we always hear frequently see that met with a very strong arm of the law and this is no exception this was a case where people and held his ground two weeks spreading all across the country and suddenly government are seeing it as a threat and government is stepping in to shut it down most of the officers in oakland don't live anywhere near the city they don't relate to the people as if they're their neighbors they relate to them as if this is some outside city that they are there trying to keep the people from overtaking the city is oftentimes the perspective that i hear when talking to police and so there really isn't
9:14 am
a feeling of community between the police and the residents it really does feel like a different kind of occupation of the police occupying the city and we're seeing this in many cities around the bay or in the country on the occupy wall street protests are drawing from all walks of life people whose lives have been appended by a recession they blame on financial fat cats and associate short enough that one of them. from riches to rags an american fairy tale gone sour eric smith walks by a luxurious manhattan hotel the chef here for six years he whipped up posh meals for the rich and famous and we did banquets for. we did parties for the past three presidents there are some really high end stuff the recession changed everything today eric is jobless and broke after being laid off or non collecting unemployment which is. about three months his ingredients have changed
9:15 am
to we worked with a lot of high and. now it's lettuce and tomatoes for simple vegetable broth in a brooklyn soup kitchen where he volunteers as one of the cooks for occupy wall street protests the thirty eight year old detroit native dreams of starting his own business a taco truck but doesn't have the money you know it's been a struggle. has made me think about how other people are struggling even more than myself the realisation that one in six americans are living in poverty i didn't work. out has led eric to the occupy wall street protests calling for change i've seen it just go from bad to worse to even worse and it's really happening all over the country the food he and other volunteers cook at the soup kitchen chairs everybody in the revolution. gets delivered to the protesters who spend day and night camping out howard erik also sleeps here at the end of the night when there's
9:16 am
a lot of people here to the comfort zone and find myself a sleeping bag right on the ground usually even though the chef is penniless in this revolution he says he's been waiting for it his entire life cooking for which fact cats in manhattan and trying to get their food out as fast as possible and make sure it's perfect. for the experience also. this is something that's really going to make a difference in the kitchen and even though life is tougher than ever before eric says he would not choose to be anywhere else but here from relatively well off to our room is not an exceptional biography to have in the west these days eric story is one of millions but he is one of only hundreds that have found their way here so far is that if you're going to parties new york. or you tube channel lets you see for yourself what's happening at the occupy wall street protests across the u.s.
9:17 am

9:18 am
promise conclusion to the euro struggles some are already looking for 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. meet soul sister and the greek hip hop group he's political rap lyrics have been striking a chord with people about what is. on the back of the future 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. was performing in unison may come naturally to the group you are using leaders have increasingly been failing to sing from the same page you cannot take twenty seven

9:20 am
the needs of the people all the politicians have to speak it's other nobody has. that's the big problem that's the big problem. everybody doing everything he wants from his part of the left. and nobody here the people closest to 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. when is the year using crisis rumbles on e.u. leaders assertions that they can find a solution has left them standing to some like
9:21 am

9:22 am
has made china a wary partner. china will join the battle of all the saviors bud china will not be a white knight in this regard because the understanding is that it is those individual countries who are having the problems will be also their problem solvers in the first place and then what will be the neighboring countries of the community of the of the eurozone can come up with a specific solution in which china can draw into a 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 and the slow pace in of their members particularly those leading members in solving those issues so that really saves sever ties to
