with r.t. and our weekly news review welcome to the program well this week saw nato officially announce the end of its campaign in libya starting from next month the country's interim leadership will take control of all security responsibilities but also tasked with rebuilding the country as well as preventing the arab military stockpiles falling into the wrong hands a tall order for the nation flooded with weapons and it's an early 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 made so our nato allies in the region which these weapons have been flooding libya and also libya is quite well on 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 former rebels for security but we've tried to control the bends i'm not sure if there's some of the housework and we asked him if he has alters a string for 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 price and now what if they don't and what does that mean up for pulse gadhafi in libya and its stability and now as you can see is being secured here everything's under control and the only one would think that we were made some mechanism how to give the weapons what we see something very

different i ask this head commander what the plan is to disarm the population. i swear i don't know if you. look. at the wheels of the sea. and a makeshift arms collection center that covers one neighborhood in the capital we are showing. you these are the weapons people brought to me today not many one. down one block in tripoli and you'll see twice as many firearms. do you know how many weapons there are in the area i tend to slaughter so we have incentive yeah i think everybody have. some think the flight of arms in the country could spell disaster ahead in a vacuum after gaffney and post revolt chaos as groups find out vicious battle 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 nato actually i believe opportunistically used nato 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 that intensification of the civil war between increasingly the factions which have overthrown and because of the regime with many libyans not yet ready to say a farewell to arms the n.t.s.c. 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 anything now a r t tripoli well another nato is wrapping up in libya and organizations chief describe the operation as one of the most successful the advances history of rhetoric hayes a report of online magazine spiked says nato had no strategy other than regime change. what we see here more than anything else is opportunism of the worst

possible sots from western political leaders who effectively trying to rewrite history but for this entire conflict and to give the impression that they have some kind of strategy they were completely disorientated completely reacting to events rather than directing them the transitional council broadly have been cherry picked fly nater these are people that effect the leader puppets of the west that have been put in there because they are kind of safe representatives because the west fears you know what might actually happen if the libyan people actually try and take the democratic initiative for themselves affect the n.t. scene has become quite dependent upon western leaders for guidance and i think that's really kind of problematic in many ways because again they're not genuinely representing the libyan people and their particular interests their orientation is instead towards the west and their interests where it's thought colonel gadhafi his most influential son saif al islam has spread in this rare counted and himself 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 for some experts but i think that our son on trial because of the last thing some western leaders want to see parties of about it explains. to some moammar 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 older capital so in western europe this is somebody who cut all sorts of deals with the french were also a great issue and the italians and to a certain extent the americans as well i think they did not want him put on trial for any greeks and i don't not mislaid his bit surprised that he was captured alive if you very quickly ended up get to that he's returning from diplomatic exile was spectacular hugs and shakes and kisses from the heads of countries which denounced

him but that he's now silenced but the suspicion around those who laid out the welcome mat is far from buried i don't feel his group three sequels will. be. dealing with it was constant repetition of. will go away for seriously think that this is also the situation was mission probably cruel tricks that. lead to a situation of a good number of us who are who veterans then british prime minister tony blair was instrumental in getting these rehabilitation bringing him in from the cold in two thousand and seven play didn't leave empty handed trade between them flourished so did the cozy relationship there were six more secret meetings after clare left office his people denying they were about releasing the lockerbie bomber abdelbaset al on the ground he or britain would lose its lucrative libyan deals i regret

myself enormously that gadhafi was butchered he should have been said to the international criminal court put on trial and forced all it's a question through all the terrible things he did and if it davidge the contemporary world lose all previous regimes and leave this tough. we need to know. what is darted in 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 to contract with the gadhafi regime worth over two million pounds to educate hundreds his 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 in creating good daffy even letting him pitch his tent in the elysee palace apparently for bankrolling sarkozy's party to the presidency so says this man the one who could still tell all

that was here. because you 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. signed i get that he son and key right hand man reportedly ready to surrender to the war crimes court saif is going to have low information and 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 clearly was plagiarized there's a lot of things that have gone on so you fogarty 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 are hidden it r t london. well in his first interview with western media since syria's uprising began ashar al assad said that

actions against his regime could transform syria into another afghanistan his comments came after u.n. secretary general once again condemned the country's violence calling for the repression to end the arab league also decided to embrace. three thousand children the rest since march arab ministers are due to meet syrian officials later today the press for dialogue between the government and opposition some protesters have been calling for a no fly zone over the country and aerial support from nato warplanes but this isn't a syrian writer and democracy campaign shall kill or things the majority of the population doesn't want a military solution to the crisis. we're 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 what 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 pollock on philology countries. well still ahead feud this hour social unrest against inequality. thousands of israelis are back on the streets protesting the government spending they say they're not getting enough but the military is getting. the battle with the league's website has been forced to suspend its activities all the details on those stories and just a few minutes. e.u. leaders reached a long awaited deal on thursday to try and save greece and the euro zone from collapse the measures include writing off fifty percent of greek debt capitalizing european banks and they can cope with any future losses or expanding the bailout front to one trillion euro well after the summit in brussels french president nicolas sarkozy said allowing greece to join the e.u.

ten years ago was a mistake of a new rescue to address the problem according to an overt furled runs two of belgium's leading business magazines. it's just buying time this is really not the bazooka everybody has been asking for i would describe it as a water pistol this of course prevents for the moment that we really get cool kind of thing escalation of the greek and upper level which is now growing in the direction of hundred and eighty percent of g.d.p. but you can not call this a structural resolution to the difference greek problems they are a little bit afraid to really bite the bullet here because if you look at it closely there is only one solution for greece any truth have been put on the table already several months ago that is for greece to leith the eurozone but that is a decision everybody's afraid of and what has for example not been discussed now but which is very much on the mind of several of the european leaders is that there

is a huge problem brewing important because this country is doing now and agreed the greek growth right there rapidly now so if one does the action today on greece one immediately has to put a similar kind of action into operation we can go. place in denver have moved into the camp of the occupy wall street protesters arresting those who refused to believe it comes just hours after a massive standoff pepper spray and tear gas fired into the crowd this footage it's increased dispersing a crowd of activists meanwhile in the states of tennessee and california more than fifty people were arrested when this was swept through their camps moving tents tables and other belongings a movement has already been tested by snowstorms in karada with harsh conditions expected at america's east coast but there's a new yorker getting ready to withstand this it's the local authorities strip and what they promise supply is very critical reports that arrests the coming winter

are likely to shake the determination. the peaceful nationwide movement that turned violent overnight in oakland. police attacked protesters with tear gas stun grenades. flash bombs and rubber bullets we had been there for weeks we had been taking care of ourselves there been no incidents with the police and they came in one of the most terrifying shows of force that i've ever seen in night i or life and they came in and they either flushed everyone out of the camp or arrested them and then they began to systematically trample all of the tents cut them apart and this new people really really angry a former u.s. marine an iraq war veteran was seriously injured by a tear gas canister that police fired at him. footage of the wounded veteran and police brutality spread quickly the shock of it galvanizing the nation and the occupy movement across the country. google says the company received requests from

local law enforcement agencies to remove you tube videos of police brutality they did not comply the stronger of forcible response live establishment the stronger the movement will get of the larger the protests will become the protesters through these past six weeks of being careful not to taint the movements reputation with violence but 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 protesters 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. marjah. and radical fringe you know order to discredit it this movement really is about all americans it's not just about equal that nickel story me being 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 message of the campaigners who call themselves the ninety nine percent and protest against corporate klein and government complicity protesters tens march through and throughout the country there will be more the movement is only expanding several weeks ago police crackdown on protesters with pepper spray this week it was tear gas and stun grenades protesters now want to hit big business where it hurts a general strike next week demanding banks and corporations shut down for a day but will the police response be an even more brutal crackdown i'm going to
