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 gadhafi era military stockpiles falling into the wrong hands a tall order and a nation flooded with weapons ortiz and sonali reports. the war is over but the weapons are fully loaded. human rights watch has expressed grave concern about leftover are 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 oh and 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 its possession and those light weapons are becoming a heavy burden on the national transitional council now relying on an army of
3:02 am
former rebels for security it would try to control the bens if there is somebody who has worked and we ask him if he has a third is a sunni 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 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 that. i swear i don't know if you look. at the
3:03 am
home of the sea. and a makeshift arms collection center that covers one neighborhood in the capital we are shown this. to 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 libya. slaughter to eventually yeah i think everybody have a weapon some think the flight of arms in the country could spell disaster ahead in the vacuum after gadaffi and post road fault 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 mates or to
3:04 am
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 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 m.t.c. which could only be good 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 now that nato is wrapping up in libya the organizations chief describe the operation is one of the most successful in the alliances history but one eyewitness to the nato bombing in libya see says it brought death and division to his country. they used every possible thing to do to make this so-called revolution successful they use gunships.
3:05 am
helicopters they use fighter is all sorts of weapons that the. disposal so they can. get there and make this successful so they've killed so many people to exceed in this operation moshtarak 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 or partially because of nato interference partially 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. which i have
3:06 am
a lot of civilians inside it who were killed as well i mean this is just. generates anger and generates revenge. which in the future would be the fuel of another war in libya which i think you will be sooner or later. but thought colonel gadhafi is most influential son saif al islam asserting this there apparently 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 over some experts believe that putting it off his son one trial is the last thing some western leaders want to see artie's i have a bet it explains. to 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
3:07 am
a capital 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 just that surprised that he was captured alive and he really quickly ended up dead returning from diplomatic cakes are 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 group. but the. dealing with him is constant and intuitions of all will go away precisely because that is also the situation was fission probably grew up. in a room acutely into

direction of the eighty percent of g.d.p. but you cannot 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 and the truth have been put on the table already several months ago that is for greece to leave the euro zone 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 in portugal because this country is going down to greet the greek road quite rapidly now so if one does the action today on greece one immediately has to put a similar kind of action into operation with respect to border go. to the u.s. now where police in denver have moved into the camp of the occupy wall street protesters arresting those who refused to leave it comes just hours after a massive standoff that saw pepper spray and tear gas fired into the crowd but this
