2:01 pm
welcome you're watching r t with me kevin no it's no ten pm moscow time our top story for you mama gadhafi is most prominent son say if it could appear at the war crimes tribunal he's reportedly ready to surrender to the hague where he's wanted on charges of crimes against humanity he's been on the run since revolutionary forces took control of certain last week and is thought to be somewhere near libya's southern border with the jail and this comes as relatives of the slain libyan leader look to the hague to bring a war crimes lawsuit now against nato over alliance troops deliberately striking at that use convoy which they say posed no threat to civilians nato was only allowed into libya by the u.n. soley to protect says its citizens while nato has postponed its early decision to end now as well its libyan mission by the end of the month after calls from the interim government to stay on and start his illness and now if found his death isn't making the country any safer either way. one of the major concerns here are the. my pins are firearms that are massively in the hands of the population here
2:02 pm
and 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 time 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 of that amount of automatic weapons being waved around but even more serious concern here in terms of security about weapons storage arsenals unguarded where houses full of vibe and 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 answer the security situation here very very sensitive just recently some
2:03 pm
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 down he was killed i mean we saw the brutal gruesome footage that one far will the whole world watched including of course libyans here and although of lot of the things you're seeing in the mass media as people just full of elation that gadhafi is down 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 husband change we expressed just just horrible feelings about the way he was killed not to mention the fact that he wasn't of course buried a party to muslim tradition he was put on display for days and only after thousands of people came to see him was he finally buried so so it's not exactly. as it seems
2:04 pm
from afar what people feel about the jaffe we can hear 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 this was really the mass media and experts are telling us that's because gadhafi with him to the grave took many of his secrets of dealings with the west wall and this was talking about a little gruesome images of traffickers lynching women with cheers and applause in america's mainstream media which was quick to herald his demise as a daughter of a new libya i think is going to cannes we're finding out whether dancing on gadhafi his grave was justified. it started with cheers. the joy of killing the african leaders spread like wildfire in the u.s. 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 preferred for nothing so let's get in on the ground there's
2:05 pm
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 greater opportunities ahead seems like the perfect new more favorable one that's meant to be a lesson to others i think it's sense of an important message to other leaders in the region when i tell you that these are big papers they are not very original just like saddam hussein caught a little hole in the market da he was a bad guy although many libyans would argue how bad he was for them considering what the dark people don't know fearing rights but i think the idea of the western audience as presented by the media he was the ultimate evil i mean 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
2:06 pm
his character in a ditch and out of saddam hussein all the cheering about gadhafi is killing in the eye of the public effectively a raise is a bad taste after nato campaign no mention of libyan civilians killed in nato strikes not much talk about the destruction in the country caused by those strikes and 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 linked but if it's presented as such a success doesn't it become more tempting to try the same method somewhere else i'm going to check our reporting from washington r.t. . and i just let you know the next grills as guests of the weather get after his death was an execution or the logical outcome to libya's civil war. 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
2:07 pm
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 in the selfish and everything because this was the drug american drone plane that attacked his convoy alongside the french were warplanes and these two so really this was a joint french nato u.s. and murder could r.p. the fact that he was technically alive as he got out as he scrambled out of his convoy hardly negates the role of the united states in his murder. case. so that's a next comment now to those kids the more inside of these latest developments in
2:08 pm
libya and talk to the pentagon this stephen stephen very good evening thanks a big teams international much appreciated no saif and much for having me saying there is reportedly a very to hide themselves the international criminal court in the hague why do you think a person who vowed to fight until the end would do that what's his mindset right now do you think. i think he feels safer in european prison than in libya i mean the enemies of him his clan his policy if you want to kill him as many members especially as he can so he's heading to safety he thinks if this happens. well he was heading the safety also. nato and the n.p.c. don't want to see him make it to niger where the. forces might be able to regroup and then launch a guerrilla warfare inside libya. actually military move to ok well colonel gadhafi though of course was one of those crimes against humanity charges he failed to make
2:09 pm
if they're alive is there a danger that the same fate could befall saif al islam. it is true. he is wanted by natural criminal court and. whether he can get a libya lie that's that that's the that's the main question at the moment if he makes it to niger he might then find safety. let's just press this a bit further than who will ensure that he doesn't get to the hague then do you think. if he doesn't get to the hague probably be dead but he has to make a living. the enemies of his father and his clan simply want to kill him. that's been their goal all along and of course steve knows north a lot he is. saying he knows an awful lot like his father is got a lot of information and he said there's an e in there allegations that some western leaders like nicolas sarkozy expert tony
2:10 pm
blair revolver he deals with the gadhafi regime do you think the details of those allegations. may finally come to light if he does get to the hague and does take the stand. well some these details have already confident they found documents on the floor of the british embassy in the abandoned british embassy in tripoli which will close relations between britain and gadhafi before before the war started of course we're going to have a lawyer who's going to have a lot of information on there i think was so huge that tony blair intervened formed to help him get his dodgy ph d. degree from the london school of economics when. he was plagiarized there's a lot of things that have gone on so you fogarty knows about but the thing is this the people who really want to kill gadhafi are the families the enemies in the sea is simply the air of. law of travel revenge to gadhafi kind of terrible things to
2:11 pm
people in libya and now these families want revenge and that's simply their way of life there and of course the flip side of this is the gadhafi family wants nato in exile what they call the deliberate killing of the former leader will they get their day in court or is it just a symbolic gesture do you think. it's really up in the air and no one really knows what's going to happen i mean who in whose hands as he thought gadhafi now who has them and if you get to niger he might just be protected don't forget doctor you were giving millions and millions of dollars to the corrupt dictators the sub-saharan africa i'm sure that he has millions and millions of more stashed worldwide and to keep paying a martin d. or protect them of course the other big question for libya now bearing in mind we saw the news of these bodies around three hundred gadhafi loyalists found in the town of sirte for apparently been executed by sea fighters well no you would rights
2:12 pm
groups saying there extrajudicial slaughters that have been carried out here the question is the m.t.c. suitable to lead libya into democracy doesn't it. well the entity has a lot of problems on his hands but like they said the war in libya is primarily a tribal fight these massacres should have been expected each side had only a homicidal vision for the other side that's how they have that's what it is in trouble wars these massacres should have been expected but the m.t.c. has real problems of its hands there's many militias there are in the teeth especially they didn't help themselves they are a series of bandon arsenals laws militias do not take orders from the n.c.c. already there's been big arguments between the militias in tripoli over who gets argued by what part of the city because the better part of the city represent more loot for the militia now they're into a looting spree the main thing now is can the m.t.c. disarm and establish control of libya and at the moment it's up in the air there's
2:13 pm
also a problem of what to do with the thousands of pro n.p.c. fighters were wounded there not in the proper medical care this is on a smaller note and also going to fight as he probably won't get any medical care or not executed all right all right steve brody depending journalist things you thoughts on the program. thank you very much for having a pleasure police in oakland california been trying hard to scare off occupy wall street protesters that kept coming back to the city all the activists want to establish a tent camp that was torn down earlier ninety seven people were arrested. following those developments for us. the scene that transpired on folding in oakland california is arguably the most violent scene we have seen thus far between us police officers and activist activists taking part in the occupy wall street movement police had fired tear gas flash grenades and rubber bullets at protesters being one man in the face with
2:14 pm
a rubber bullets and now this was all taking place and i'm holding as about three hundred fifty occupy activists did not want to leave the camp grounds that they established weeks ago in front of city hall in oakland and the police in oakland california were removing them were trying to remove them and told them they cannot be there about three hundred fifty activists have set up camp there five hundred riot police reportedly went to the scene and not one that clashed with police but it is being reported that police have fired off tear gas four different times now. aside from the one that was hitting the face the rubber bullet was caught in a cloud of tear gas this man was in a wheelchair and from what the images show police police kept. lobbying canisters at him police were also seen throwing flash grenades right into a group of people that were trying to help and injured woman clearly as you
2:15 pm
mentioned this is just the latest kind of incident clash between police officers and these activists a lot of police officers in new york city and throughout the country who have been accused and criticized of using brutal force against u.s. citizens that are just trying to authorize and use their freedom of speech now police officials say they had no choice but to use these heavy handed tactics with the protesters they said some of the protesters began throwing rocks and bottles. at police officers city officials say two police men were injured in the clash that unfolded tuesday morning in oakland california but if it's going to be the last one many people highly doubt it because as party's been reporting the occupy wall street movement has been growing louder has been growing bigger and has been gaining a lot of support. our correspondent in new york now we also spoke to penn and
2:16 pm
journalist josh wolf who witnessed the police on protesters not with himself as he puts much of the law in for something no sense of community with those who are demanding change i think that any time the people demonstrate that they have power the already the city government is fearful of data can be given a democracy supposedly but when the people come together in rallies and demonstrations we always hear frequently see that men with a very strong arm of the law are and this is no exception this was a case where people where they held his ground two weeks spreading all across the country and suddenly government of seeing it as a threat and government 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 governments and this is some outside city that they are they're trying to keep the people from overtaking the cities often times and wish they could be like here when talking to police and so there really isn't
2:17 pm
a feeling of community between the police and the residents it really does feel like a different kind of occupation of the police are trying that this city and we're seeing this in many cities around the bay or in the country just wolf american british police a gunning for google demanding the web giant removes a number of videos from you tube which they say are a security risk according to a report published by google the number of such requests has increased sharply over the past six months internet privacy and civil liberties campaigner jim killer told me that it's for the courts to decide what can or can't go online. an open court can look at the material the media can report what's going on and if material is asked to be removed at least that is done in a publicly accountable way the problem comes i think in a situation we see now here with google is that the police are advising google here's what material might be breaking the law and then google decides to censor
2:18 pm
that material without a court order and you can sort of understand that on the one hand because you tube is a it's a platform and a site it's not a search engine but really it is working in exactly the same way it's a public platform for us all to use and it is wrong for google to start making those judgments without the appearance of a court. or the big story or not of course that emergency summit of european leaders in brussels we're now hearing it's just finished and i've been trying to put the final touches on how to pull euro zone out of its spiraling debt we should get more details on that shortly the newswire start to feed them through now the noise of the woods yet we hear with of course growing concern the bickering and why have all read between politicians is now getting in the way or to join a bushel as more of the summit that's underway. germany's parliament has agreed to approve the bailout fund basically as an insurance for loans taken out by nations
2:19 pm
it did happen despite insults being. thrown across the problem and even directed at angela merkel herself she was accused of gnawing to taxpayers to get this deal through germans of course particularly angry because germany will have to pay the vast majority of any of any bailout that does come in these palm and was also suspended for a short time today there's a new a point breaking out between terry and being forced out of brussels to take out a new round of the measures. to resign all of these government refused to raise the retirement age needs to be just sixty seven. and germany at the moment being he also reportedly told his cabinet there's no point in going to brussels today if he doesn't have a full mandate and all that was the support all his cabinet and government's own little things on looking good for resolution today senior diplomats more negotiations on greek write downs all proceeding very slowly officials want banks to write off seventy five percent of their loans to greece if you lived
2:20 pm
a million euro to athens you can forget about three quarters of that banks are obviously angry they say anything above forty percent right tools and europe's whole banking system is in trouble and it's really shocking to blow off the horses bolted but the e.u. today is also trying to raise the amount of reserves that the banks have to hold to avoid exactly the same crisis next time draw conclusions or no deal for recapitalization of banks you know that would remain vulnerable in the event of a greek default take a major hit and many are in fact expected to collapse and also unconfirmed reports that china has agreed to invest in the european financial stability fund on the one hand it's in china's interests to prevent the collapse of the european union and the euro because that will have a negative knock on effect on the rest of the world economy. these alone so if everything bells go off ok then china will own that only its investment. bushell
2:21 pm
europe correspondent kelly wallace spoke to dr marcus kerber is a political economy professor in lady told me that here is economic success of the past decades no thanks to the euro i have always hoped that germany sooner or later is going to wield the power to bring the continent to back to economic reason because we are in a phase of the euro agonizing and if certain concept is a good thing you should bring it quickly to an end the money we have spent on greece is lost money and we know this i have said this in spring two thousand and ten we should have kept out of the eurozone from the very beginning of the crisis to stop contagion eighty five percent of the germans disapprove the government's bailout policy and sooner or later that massive popular opposition has to be faced by the german parliament they have to pay tribute to that they cannot go on pursuing a policy which has turned out to be failing the economic success of germany is not
2:22 pm
at all due to the euro of the people who say this have not driven figures i was going to say one of the ironies is that the greek army currently feels almost as many german battle tanks as germany itself talking about the way the germany has benefited from having people i have to tell you with i have placed i have to cut you short there. must remind you of the fact that a good france is now delivering fry gates for almost nothing to greece and that at a moment where greece is factually in a situation of default so what is scandalising many many years ago greece has been receiving german tanks as an ally turkey received but then now in the period of deep crisis of rises fronts continue to deliver fried gates to greece. top curve is really are on there now which is terrible sport about thirty minutes time including crunch time for russia's top two in women's tennis more details on that shortly after
2:23 pm
