officially announced the end of its aerial campaign in libya starting from next month the country's interim leadership will take control of all security responsibilities there also tasked with rebuilding libya as well as preventing the darfur era military stockpiles falling into the wrong hands a tall order a nation flooded with weapons teas and he said no way reports. 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 air missiles which could in the wrong hands take down passenger aircraft it's through mates o. and nato allies in the region which these weapons have been flooding libya and also libya is quite a world country anyway the population has has quite a lot of light weapons in its possession and those light weapons are becoming
12:02 am
a heavy burden on the national transitional council now relying on an army of former rebels for security we try to control the bends and we check if there is somebody who has worked and we ask him if he has a thursday shooting or 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 is what if they don't and what does that mean for pumps gadhafi libya and its stability and now as you can see is the security here everything is under control and the only word things that we will make some mechanism how to give back the weapons but we see something very different i asked this head commander what the plan is to disarm the population. i swear i don't know if you. look.
12:03 am
at a makeshift arms collection center that covers one neighborhood in the capital we are showing this. these are the weapons people brought to me today not many. walk down one block in tripoli and you'll see twice as many firearms. do you know how many weapons there are in the beer. slot have to eventually yeah i think everybody have a weapon some think the front of arms in the country could spell disaster ahead in the vacuum after gadaffi impulse to revolt chaos as groups fight out vicious battles from power. what you have now in libya is schools of armed factions who have no respect for each other and who have no
12:04 am
respect for may to actually either they've opportunistically used mate or to achieve some aims and nato has been foolish enough to go along with this so i think what we're going to see now is the intensification of the civil war between increasingly the factions which have overthrown with the gadhafi regime with many libyans not yet ready to say a farewell to arms the empty sea which could only be gadhafi with nato help is now asking the alliance to continue its mission a vivid indication of just how unstable the country is and he said now a r t tripoli. now that nato is wrapping up in libya the organizations that chief described the operation as one of the most successful in the alliances history but one eyewitness to the nato bombing in the sea says it brought death and division to his country. they used every possible thing to do to make this so-called revolution successful they used gunships. helicopters they
12:05 am
used fighters all sorts of weapons the. disposal so they. make this successful kill so many people to succeed in this operation i don't think it's a success because if it was a success the libyan would have been so happy about it i doubt it very much there's a big divide in libya there's a huge gap. between libyans. i mean parts of partly because of nato interference partly because of let's be honest and say partially because of gadhafi. but but the way they killed gadhafi the way they treated him the way they bombed my city you. have
12:06 am
a lot of civilians inside it who were killed as well i mean this just. generates anger and generates revenge. which would in the future would be the fuel of another war in libya which i think it will be sooner or later. where it's thought colonel gadhafi is most influential son saif al islam has fled to new jab apparently looking to find themself over to the international criminal court he's reportedly used a spokes person to make contact with the hague to deny charges of crimes against humanity some experts believe that putting it off a son on trial is the last thing some western leaders want to see what he's going to expect. some moammar gadhafi was a man too much. secrets which will supposedly be buried with him i think that there were tremendous sighs of relief all over capitals in western
12:07 am
europe 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 misled is that surprised that he was captured alive and he very quickly ended up dead gadhafi returned from diplomatic exile was spectacular hugs handshakes and kisses from the heads of countries which denounced him good after he's now silenced but the suspicion around those who laid out the welcome mat is far from buried i don't feel as close to his group. but the. dealing with him is constant and. all will go away precisely because that is also the situation was sufficient will probably grow shrink certain international romantic lead to

a situation where they could never prove their innocence then british prime minister tony blair was instrumental in get to effie's rehabilitation bringing him in from the cold in two thousand and seven but play didn't leave empty handed trade between them flourished so did the cozy relationship there was six more secret meetings off the player left office his people denying they were about releasing the lockerbie bomber abdel baset al mcgraw he or britain would lose its lucrative libyan deals i regret myself enormously that gadhafi was but should he should have been said to the international criminal court put all the trial and force to all it's a question through all the terrible things he did and if it davidge the contemporary world lose all previous regimes and lead is tough and we need to know. what he's done it out day with. some details of the murky dealings have already emerged claiming the reputation of one of britain's leading universities the london

12:13 am
debt this is why this should be stopped in the next couple of months if you're going to be able to say that we staved off to tassie for two months but if you were truly interested in solving this problem greeks would default a hundred percent on their fraudulent debt they would contain their sovereignty and banks would be forced to deal with the bad loans that they may why we mollycoddling banks why are we giving them one set of laws and everyone else has a separate set of laws is because the i.m.f. and their banking friends have taken a position above the sovereignty of any of these countries they're not elected officials and if there are dictating terms of these these people these countries you're guaranteeing global financial catastrophe by letting these charlatans pose these theories that adding debt to a debt problem is going to increase stability that's insane. well the police

reputation with violence by a march most reports suggest that this movement has been almost entirely peaceful but some in the u.s. media use the night of violence in oakland to portray the protestors as radicals and more violence from the occupiers a lot of these people are professional educators a good number of these people are radicals no doubt about it you might ask how radical was this elderly woman in a wheelchair who was tear gassed by police or jasper father of two who's working on his ph d. at the university of california berkeley you know they characterize you know it's. the perspective of the movement marginal and radical and fringe in order to discredit it this moment really is about all americans it's not just about people that have a story we've been poor this is about now it's to the middle class that is starting to feel the impact of corporate greed that has run this country for so long as the movement grows bigger and more structured it's becoming harder to ignore the

12:19 am
missed by many in the international community as it focuses in on what is happening externally and certainly the mainstream international media is making a lot of what is going on in gaza to the detriment of what is happening here and with me to talk about this is nicholas simmons who is one of the our social protestors nicolette why are you back on the streets after a two month lull. the knesset the parliament is returning from its recess and we just hope that they'll reconsider their budgetary considerations the problem has been that the budget considerations have been about parties and politics they've been about leaving the tycoons and seem to control everything we want the budgetary considerations to consider just the general good of the country here in israel it's very very important to realize we are not in economic recession a problem isn't that we don't have enough money problem is that it's being mismanaged the government decisions about what to do with the money is bad oh bolos

because there were other very beginning of the situation questions about what attention members of the u.s. government had suggested or asked companies like amazon which was the first to take action against wiki leaks because they were hosting the size and what they may have been asked by individuals within the u.s. government so. obviously one of the issues is there aren't really any rules regarding what companies can can or cannot do with their customers companies are generally entitled to reject customers if unfortunately wiki leaks was forced to close down that we would see other sides seeking to do the same kind of thing and getting around the restrictions of wiki leaks facing. the central asian country of kurdistan is electing its first president since the bloody uprisings that toppled formally the women back last spring the front runner is the country's former prime minister and wealthy businessman who promises to bring stability and prosperity to a nation current interim. is not running for the top job these elections
