i think from next month the country's interim leadership will take control of all security responsibilities they're also tasked with rebuilding the country as well as preventing gadhafi era military stockpiles falling into the wrong hands a tall order in a nation flooded with weapons and these are now 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 a heavy burden on the national transitional council now relying on an army of
1:02 am
former rebels for security and we try to control the bends and we check if there is somebody who has worked and we ask him if he has to go towards a 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 trend this in committee to return their arms the question now what if they don't and what does that mean for pulse gadhafi libya and its stability and now as you can see is the security here everything is under control and the only word thing 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. see.
1:03 am
it. at a makeshift arms collection center that covers one neighborhood in the capital we are shown 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 very. slight have to have incentive yeah i think everybody have a weapon some think the flood of arms in the country could spell disaster ahead in the vacuum after gadaffi and post revolt chaos as groups fight out vicious battles for power. what you have now in libya is schools of armed factions who have no respect for each other and who have no respect for mates or actually either they've opportunistically used mate so to achieve some aims and
1:04 am
nato has been foolish enough to go along with this so i think what we're going to see now is an intensification of the civil war between increasingly the factions which have overthrown but the gadhafi regime with many libyans not yet ready to say a farewell to arms the n t c which could only be daffy 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 well political blogger says libya's interim government faces hard times ahead with little control of a fighters on the ground. people have way too much faith in the n t c which is quite obviously not in control of the situation on the ground in libya at the moment and in fact you can see the tension between the n t c command and some of the more islamist led groups on the ground and in fact if you see some of the
1:05 am
fighters on the ground they have the characteristics of islamist fighters the long kind of history of from afghanistan on wards so this illusion that the entity has full control on the ground is not actually correct and i would say that events that we are seeing them could be personal event that does could be their normal run of wars but maybe another party in libya could have presented the revolutionary a sphere asians as privileges timet aspirations for change better than down in d.c. that still has a lot of former gadhafi associates and cronies within it so that's really the nub of the problem where it's thought colonel gadhafi is most influential son saif al islam a split in the parent looking to hand him self over to the international criminal court he's reportedly used a spokesperson to make contact with the hague to deny charges of crimes against humanity some experts believe that putting down his son on trial is the last thing some western leaders want to see parties have been it expects. to some moammar
1:06 am
gadhafi was a man who knew too much secrets which will supposedly be buried with him i think that there were tremendous sighs of relief all over capitals in western 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 is returning from diplomatic akes all was spectacular hugs handshakes and kisses from the heads of countries which denounced him get daffy's now silenced but the suspicion around those who laid out the welcome mat is far from buried could own fears to his great sequence with but
1:07 am
the. deal with him is constant and it. will go away precisely because that is also the situation was fishing will probably grow shrinks it marriage sharon acutely into a situation where they could never prove that it was 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 blair didn't leave empty handed trade between them flourished so did the cozy relationship there were six more secret meetings after blair left office his people denying they were about releasing the lockerbie bomber abdel baset al mcgrath 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 viva contemporary world leaders or previous regimes leaders tough. we need to.
1:08 am
walk. with. some details of the murky dealings have already emerged claiming the reputation of one of britain's leading universities the london school of economics agreed a contract to be bigger than the regime worth over two million pounds to educate hundreds of its future civil servants the director was forced to resign and now the university of tripoli is demanding the money back french leader nicolas sarkozy was never shy and greeting get daffy even letting him pitches tend to nearly say palace apparently for bankrolling sarkozy's path to the presidency so says this man the one who could still tell all. sarkozy must give back the money he took from libya to finance his electoral campaign we funded and we have all the details and are ready to reveal everything. saif al islam gadhafi son and key right hand
1:09 am
man reportedly ready to surrender to the war crimes court so you he's going to have low information and now i think we're so eve that tony blair intervened formed to help him get his dodgy ph d. degree from the london school of economics one. degree or apparently was plagiarized there's a lot of things that have gone on so you thought gadhafi knows about saif gadhafi is wanted to answer for his own actions in libya is drawn out battle for control but it's what he could reveal about the diplomatic deals with his father that's keeping the western power players sweating after bennett r.t. london. well in his first interview with the western media since syria's uprising began but shara sirte said that actions against his regime could transform syria into another afghanistan but his comments came after the u.n. secretary general once again condemned the country's violence calling for the repression to end the arab league also to end the civilian death toll.
1:10 am
doesn't rest since march arab ministers are due to meet syrian officials later today to press for dialogue between the government and opposition protesters have been calling for a no fly zone over the country and air support from nato ok but this isn't a syrian right when. the show ends the majority of the population doesn't want a military solution to the crisis. were against military intervention whether today tomorrow or in ten years' time even if the regime is to ny late every one of us would still be against military intervention we fight for freedom and we don't want to add external slavery to our domestic one we don't want it to become a part of the struggle between the international and internal forces syrians are peaceful they want to progress under conditions of freedom and development and they don't want to turn into a concentration camp a poly gone for larger countries. so they head for the social unrest against

trillion euros the president of the e.u. . it is already said that they can leverage it up to five trillion euros that will be and they whine so they're trying to solve a debt problem with more debt you're guaranteeing economic collapse by adding more 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 catastrophe 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 yet there are dictating terms of these people in these countries you're guaranteeing full lobel financial catastrophe by letting the charlatans pose
