the country's border region with algeria and southern libya has been on the run since revolutionary forces took control of said last week can his father and brother relatives of the slain lead been lead to however looking to the hague to bring of war crimes lawsuit against nato they claim alliance forces deliberately hit his convoy which they shake has no threat to civilians occasion actions and un resolutions were strictly limited to helping protect the interests of dozens not take sides in a civil who is interim leader at mr jail has asked the alliance continue operations until then that they get to stop gadhafi loyalists from escaping but as always he's and he said now reports from the country the colonel's death is great for the country say. one of the major concerns here are white weapons firearms that are massively in the hands of the population here there are efforts from the entries to each 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
6:02 pm
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 ton 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 that amount of automatic weapons being waved around but even more serious concerns here in terms of security about weapons storage arsenals unguarded where house is 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 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 just stinks if you will of hypocrisy of
6:03 pm
course is the way they could jockey was killed and we saw the brutal gruesome footage that went viral the whole world watched including of course libyans here and although i'll lot of the things you're seeing in the mass media is people just full of elation that gadhafi is down that dead when you go out and speak to people and you push them a little bit you do find that there are a lot of people here that are doesn't change we expressed just just horrible feelings about the way he was killed not to mention the fact that he was 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 finally buried just so it's not exactly as it seems from afar what people feel about gadhafi how we've come here and actually start talking to them that however not the case in the last three of how some people very outspoken unhappy about the way gadhafi was killed distrust really the mass media experts are telling us that's because gadhafi with him to the
6:04 pm
grave took many of his secrets of dealings with the west and the head and he says reports the true nature of his relationship with western leaders has led to uncomfortable questions and told some it's his son saif on his own could be the nato and the america deals if he gets to the hague. well some of the details have already come to light they found documents on the floor of the british embassy in the band the 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 lot of saif is going to have a lot of information on that i think was so huge that tony blair intervened form to help him get his dodgy ph d. degree from the london school of economics when that degree of carney was plagiarized there's a lot of things that have gone on there so you thought gadhafi knows about but the thing is this the people who really want to kill gadhafi are the families the
6:05 pm
enemies in the sea is simply the heir of. law of tribal revenge to gadhafi clan did terrible things to people living here and now these families want revenge and that's simply their way of life there. to gruesome images of his lynching were met with cheers and applause and america's mainstream media which was quick to herald his demise as the dorning of the new. finding whether dancing on his grave or it's just. it started with cheers. 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 too 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
6:06 pm
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 taters they are not very original just like saddam hussein caught them in a whole new market da he was a bad guy otoh many of us would argue how bad he was for them considering what they don't people don't see the welfare and women's rights but i think the ire of the western audience as presented by the media he was the ultimate evil for me 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 midget now faced with it and laughed at similarities between his character in a ditch and that of saddam hussein all the cheering about could office killing in
6:07 pm
the eye of the public effectively raises the 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 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 linked but if it's presented to 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 are today. moving on now eurozone leaders are back round the table to try and wrestle a solution to the region's debt plight seen by many as their last chance that is the bonds that are first in line to bear the brunt or she's done a bushel has the latest from brussels for us. by june next year banks will have to raise the amount of capital european banks will have to raise their reserves to cover any risky investments such as greeks greece the greek prime minister has spoken to reporters here saying that greece has made
6:08 pm
a superhuman effort to make its economy viable but the odds are still increasing that toughens will have to quit the euro on the fears that is that still increasing the bailout fund has also been increased they won't say till november by how much italy is the country that's really in the firing line it's released a letter of intent here at the summit silvio berlusconi promises to increase italy's pension age to sixty seven they're also cutting back on job protection measures but also raising around five billion euros by selling state assets wasn't easy it took the prime minister's offer of resignation to get this deal through the italian parliament they were fierce fires today in the parliament they had to be suspended in italy really because many are opposed to a new round of austerity measures that are being demanded by brussels and now we're expecting at best a framework deal which will reveal what will happen in the future if the e.u.
6:09 pm
leaders can resolve their differences of course france wants a much larger bailout there's talk of france actually being one of the countries that will need potentially in the future that bailout one italian politician said they won't take any lectures from nicolas sarkozy of france because the french economy is in italy according to that politician germany is more against more bailouts many of the more financially prudent e.u. members of the talks all respected to run over time some say mine may now last days the. darling says the e.u. leaders should look themselves into this building the e.u. commission building here in brussels on till they come up with a solution because there are fears that there will be a continuation of the global stock market collapse. and. the global investment strategist at madison street partners believes that constant bailouts will not resolve the european crisis. greece has one of the lowest expenditures of social welfare spending in the european union if you look at the statistics from
6:10 pm
europe and the o.e.c.d. they have considerably smaller pensions and the germans and the french do. i think this this notion that everyone buys into that somehow they're just scroungers of the state they have fundamentally a problem of tax evasion whereby the most wealthy in the country have for a long time avoided paying their fair share in taxes and so the bottom eighty ninety percent of the population are paying the price for that the e.c.b. should be undertaking per capita revenue distributions and you do that on the basis of population to each of the euro zone nation states could be crediting the national central bank bank accounts which can then use that money to retire public debt and that way you deal credibly with the solvency issue it's not a bailout because every single country including germany will be recipient of the products but this way you get the z.b. involved this is the only entity that can create unlimited amounts of euros at the stroke of a keyboard and therefore it will provide
6:11 pm
a credible solution to the problem of national sovereignty. police in oakland california have violently dispersed and occupy wall street protests in the city arresting around one hundred people one of the protesters at a time iraq war veteran scott olsen is now in a critical condition after being hit but projectile arteries were in a fortnight on into the. 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 and flash grenades at protesters hitting one man in the face how this was all taking place and unfolding 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
6:12 pm
were removing that 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 when the clash took place it is being reported that police have fired off tear gas four different times now another man was caught in a tear gas this man was in a wheelchair and from what images show police we stopped. being canisters adham police were also seen throwing flash grenades right into a group of people that were trying to help and injured one man clearly 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 have been accused and criticized of using little force against u.s.
6:13 pm
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 on folded tuesday morning in oakland california but if it's going to be the last one many people highly doubt it because as artie's been reporting the occupy wall street movement has been growing louder has been growing bigger and has been gaining a lot of support. and as he spoke to independent journalist josh wall who witnessed the crackdown on protesters in oakland and his police alike an occupying force from outside the area i think that anytime the people demonstrate that they have power the stories this city government is fearful of that i mean we live in a democracy supposedly but when the people come together in rallies and
6:14 pm
demonstrations we always are frequently see that men with a very strong arm of the law and this is no exception this was a case where people had held his ground two weeks spreading all across the country and suddenly the government is 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 govern as if this is some outside city that they're 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 a feeling of community between the police and the residents it really does feel like a different kind of occupation of the police are saying that the city and we're seeing this in many cities around the bay or in the country the occupy wall street protests are drawing from all walks of life people whose lives have been are funded by recession they blame on financial fat cats. that want them.
6:15 pm
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 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 to we worked with a lot of high and. now it's lettuce and tomatoes for simple vegetable brought in a brooklyn soup kitchen where he volunteered 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
6:16 pm
myself the realization that one in six americans are living in poverty i didn't work. out because 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 hour to eric also sleeps here at the end of the night when there's a lot of people here i'll go 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 rich fact cats in manhattan and trying to get their food out as fast as possible and make sure it's perfect. for the rich parents also. it always spoke to me
6:17 pm
this way this is something that's really going to make a difference in the country and even though life is tougher than ever before eric says he would not choose to be anywhere else but hear from relatively well off to flat out broke 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 that's it sure can are hard to keep new york. american and british police have been demanding google removes a number of videos of police brutality from heat according to transparency report published by the web giant the number of such requests has increased sharply this year internet privacy and civil liberty campaign that jim killick told is that it's for the courts to decide what can or can't go line. and open court could 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
6:18 pm
a publicly accountable way the problem comes i think in the situation we see now here with google is that the police are advising google here is what material might be breaking the law and then google decides to censor that material without a court order 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 with i the appearance of a court. and some more international stories for you this hour with high tides on the way they told sorties over any of the higher risk of flooding in by incog after months of rain which killed over three hundred sixty of the country since july a combination of tides and floods could submerge low lying city districts up to one point five meters of water recently installed as sand barriers have been removed
6:19 pm
from a can now in the west of the countertop to help ease drainage flood should bangkok second airport on tuesday as some of the nine million plus residents tried to flee the city. most of others including a two week old girl have been recovered from the rubble as rescue teams continue frantically searching after a devastating earthquake in eastern turkey they said the boy to a magnitude tremor struck on sunday causing thousands of buildings to collapse but the number of dead so far reaching at least four hundred and fifty people that's still being pulled alive from the rubble but some estimates fear thousands may have died fortunes are being of raises to the structural integrity of the buildings which crumbled in the quake. there was a mud have swept through northern italy killing at least nine people after drenching rains is the country at least six people are also missing as floodwaters swept away roads and bridges and cut off several towns the most devastated areas on
6:20 pm
the italian riviera include some of the most picturesque in italy with a number on the unesco world heritage list. i'll recap our top stories coming your way but first our interview and we talked to the british conservative party m.p. douglas carswell the things you membership is really dragging the u.k. economy down.
6:21 pm
i'm in manchester with douglas cause well he's a conservative member of parliament he said the political system in this country is broken and in urgent need of reform he's also a renowned skeptic douglas carswell thanks for talking to us we use this catch all term skeptic what does that mean old style your skepticism in this country used to be about trying to take this country back it used to be an inherently conservative movement that was about trying to take us back to a sort of one nine hundred fifty s. status quo i don't have much truck with that at all i mean you're a skeptic because i want change and i want to really change the way this country is run i think fundamentally europe is in the mess that she is today because she's trying to do too much by conscious deliberate design how currency is a mess because it's a product of conscious agricultural policy policy trade policy you know we need to
6:22 pm
let go and we need to allow the different parts of the european continent to do what suits them best incidentally i would say that that's why the european continent grew to global prominence in the first place it's precisely because we never had the political centralization that russia had but china had the mogul empire that the ottomans had that europe was allowed to prosper in the first place so we need a decentralized europe and i'm afraid i think that means rejecting the whole e.u. project completely so you think the question should leave the iraq we should have an in out referendum and i would vote for us to come out of the european union the european union. fifty's political structure it's an outdated architecture for a modern continent. 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. today the european continent accounts for far less than that by twenty twenty it
6:23 pm
would account for a mere fifteen percent of global g.d.p. we joined what we thought was a prosperous trade bloc it turns out we shackled ourselves to a corpse i think we're better off when you talk about an in out referendum but isn't there a middle way where we have a trade relationship with europe that without any of the politics involved in effect if we hadn't in our referendum and most people voted for asked to leave the european project as it is we know that the european landmass would still be there we would still have people with whom we want to be good neighbors personally i would like us to continue to have free trade and the free movement of people between our countries we would still have to cooperate but i think that can best be done through bilateral structures ad hoc arrangements. i would personally like us to stop being rather grudging tenants in the european.
6:24 pm
apartment and become good neighbors to the european countries that are next to us we need good relations with continental europe but we're not getting them by being in this one nine hundred fifty s. apartment block despite the fact that the u.k. didn't actually join the british taxpayers is still covering the currency to the chin it's billions of pounds is that wrong it's absolutely wrong you know we have found ourselves in the ludicrous position of having to bail out a currency that we chose not to join and i think it's wrong for us to have increased british liabilities to over twenty billion to prop up a currency that i think needs to be allowed to break up. you know. within europe within recent years we have allowed new currency to be created when slovakia broke away from the czech republic they did so very simply by creating a new currency in argentina currency to the u.s. dollar turned out to be a disastrous mistake brought about by politicians and when desires when eventually they had to break that link they were able to devalue their current c.
6:25 pm
default on their debts and start again and as a result of that both slovakia and argentina are doing pretty well that i think is the answer for greece for portugal for ireland probably for spain and for italy another way perhaps of looking at it is that maybe the german center of the euro zone should be allowed to establish its own currency whichever way you look at it it involves breaking up the euro and greece has recently said miss it really that it's not going to be able to meet its debt certainly for the next yeah possibly since he is under current circumstances how much the british banks stand to lose in greece portugal and ireland well british banks are liable for quite a lot of money billions of pounds at least that used to be regarded as quite a lot of money until our government started printing it but you know. the case the british banks are going to take a hit and they're going to take a hit not because of some abstract problem in the euro saying they're going to take
6:26 pm
a hit because their investment teams on their fixed income debts are bought greek and portuguese and other government debt that they regard as fixed income but turned out to be a really bad investment now when my constituents buy shares in a company that's badly run and lose money the government doesn't step in and underwrite their loss so i'm very very concerned that taxpayers in my constituency will be asked to bail out banks that brought this upon themselves now if if it is the case that we are going to have to prop up some of these banks because these banks have been so badly run such victims of their own greed that unless we do so our economy will disintegrate doubtless. well thank you very much thank you.
6:27 pm
but. let's start with the idea australia are doing the only art museum no we thank you so you get to the money yeah if you want to have sex go and have sex.
