4:05 am
a framework for that it is called the rule of law if you just say well let's have corporate entities deciding what should or shouldn't be on the web then you have in fact effectively vigilante justice operated by corporate entities and that's wrong . and over on our website we have plenty more on this story including news of the digital help for demonstrators and your cation enjoyed phones called i'm getting arrested lawyers friends and family of protesters being handcuffed in check out the details of. european banks will write off fifty percent of greek debt the deal was reached during an emergency summit in brussels which continue well into the night among other measures you are saying i am there for the country another one hundred billion euro in rescue loans there's also an agreement on expanding the bailout fund to one trillion euros commenting on the deal the french president sarkozy said he plans to turn to china

4:10 am
the country now cripplingly high there's been huge interest in the time banks and bars and networks places in aladdin's cave of arts and materials it's no wonder really that this idea of swapping gets in services has proven so popular it's building solidarity as time when the economic situation is extremely uncertain. bassinette works won't solve greece's financial problems they do provide a massive amount of support for the participants it's not to respond to you cannot make crisis in the sense that it's going to overturn the governor but it's giving support to comfort to vote if you like to overturn. terrible economic policies that are being posed by the troika it's giving people support to feel that they can do something with the tough economic times leaving many greeks feeling worthless there is real value in projects like the time bank and with the greek government drowning

4:12 am
things heat up in greece hopefully the banks in greece will completely collapse and this will be the only saving grace for greek sovereignty. the family of colonel gadhafi is preparing to sue nato for the air strike on his convoy and that to his violent death at the hands of n.t.s.c. fighters the family lawyer said that the advances actions were clearly aimed at overthrowing the colonel and not protecting civilians while even with gadhafi gone the country's future looks far from secure from tripoli and he said no way since this report. the war is over but the weapons are fully loaded. human rights watch has expressed grave concern about leftover arms in libya their number one fear warehouses thought to hold ground to
4:13 am
air missiles which could in the wrong hands take down passenger aircraft it's through mate so our nato allies in the region which these weapons have been flooding libya and also libya is quite country anyway the population has has quite a lot of light weapons in his possession and those light weapons are becoming a heavy burden on the national transitional council now relying on an army of former rebels for security that would try to control the bens if there is somebody who has worked and we asked him if he has to go towards a shooting like this we are not. checkpoints have been set up across tripoli to check that those carrying weapons have proper documentation and those who do have the paperwork are being called on by the national transition committee to return their arms the question now what if they don't and what does that mean for public gadhafi libya and its stability and now as you can see is
4:14 am
