month the country's interim leadership will take control of all security responsibilities and 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 parties and sonali 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 mate so our nato allies in the region which these weapons have been flooding libya and also libya is quite wild 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 bends i mean if there
2:02 am
is somebody who has weapon we ask him if he has simple terms a shrine 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 question now what if they don't and what does that mean for parts gadhafi libya and its stability and now as you can see is being secured here everything is under control and the only one would think 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.
2:03 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 one. down one block in tripoli and you'll see twice as many firearms. do you know how many weapons there are in libya i can dislike have to eventually yeah i think everybody have a weapon some think the fun of arms in the country could spell disaster ahead in the vacuum after gadaffi and post revolt chaos as groups fight out a 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 may to actually either they've opportunistically used mater to achieve some aims and nato has been foolish enough to go along with this so i think what
2:04 am
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 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. well and now that nato is wrapping up in libya the organizations chief describe the operation is one of the most successful in the advances history patrick 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 are effectively trying to rewrite history the throughout this entire conflict and to give the impression that they
2:05 am
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 affectively deposits 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 affectively the n.t. scene or 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 fled to nizkor era parent is looking to hand him self over to the international criminal court he's reportedly used a spokes person to make contact with the hague to tonight charges of crimes against humanity some experts believe that putting gadhafi son on trial is the last thing
2:06 am
some western leaders want to see artie's 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 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 mostly just bit surprised that he was captured alive and he very quickly ended up dead gadhafi is returning from diplomatic exile was spectacular hugs handshakes and kisses from the heads of countries which denounced him get effie's now silenced but the suspicion around those who laid out the welcome mat is far from buried gadhafi has moved to his grave to see it
2:07 am
but the. deal with him is constant and it. will go away precisely because that this is also the situation was fishing probably grew up during certain international rescue leading 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 blair didn't leave empty handed trade between them flourished so did the cozy relationship there was 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 the

stronger the movement will get the larger the protests will become the protesters through these past six weeks of being careful not to taint the movement's reputation with violence by and large 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 as marjah. and radical in order to discredit it this moment really is about all americans it's not just about people

a website that some governments find troubling. it's very unclear exactly what the motivations what the power behind them and it is it's deeply unsettling 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 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 space. the central asian country of kurdistan is electing its first president since the bloody uprising that toppled formally women back but this spring the front runner is the country's former prime
