night to remember russia's legendary bolshoi theatre reopens after a six year at no expense spared renovation with an exclusive grandfather. just after three pm here in the russian capital this is r.t. this week a song nato officially announced the end of its aerial campaign in libya starting from next month of the country's interim leadership will take a troll of all security responsibilities well they're also tasked with rebuilding the country as well as prevents a good off era military stockpiles from falling into the wrong hands that's a tall order and a nation flooded with weapons artie's and he said now reports. the war is
7:02 am
gold work but the weapons are fully loaded. human rights watch of expressed grave concern about left arm in libya there are one fear where it's going to hold ground to air which could in the wrong hands take down passenger aircraft. through made so and nato allies in the region which these weapons have been flooding libya and also libya is quite well armed 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 we try to control the bends i mean if there is somebody who has worked and we asked him if he has authorization for this we are not. going to. checkpoints have been set up across tripoli to check that those carrying weapons have proper documentation and those who do have the
7:03 am
paperwork are being called on by the national transition committee to return their arms the question now is what if they go 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 is under control and the only word thing that will make some return is how to give back the weapons could 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. you know. we have some of the c b m when the test run through and a makeshift arms collection center that covers one neighborhood in the capital we are shown there you go through these are the weapons people brought to me today not many walked down one walk in tripoli and you'll see twice as many fire.
7:04 am
you know how many weapons there are in libya i think just like after we have been sitting here i think everybody has. some think the fun of arms in the country could spell disaster ahead in a vacuum after gadhafi impulse will poke. he asked his group find out this is fadel how. 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 who actually either they've 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 because off the regime with many libyans not yet ready to say a farewell to arms against the sea which could only be good for you with nato how
7:05 am
is now asking the alliance to continue with mission a vivid indication of just how unstable the country is and he's now a r t tripoli. well now that nato is wrapping up in libya the organization's chief described the operation as one of the most successful and the alliances history of patrick a as a reporter for online magazine spikes says nato had no strategy other than regime change. what we see here more than anything else is opportunism of the worst possible sorts from western political leaders who are effectively trying to rewrite history for out 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 has been cherry picked by nature these are people that effectively the puppets of the west this have been put in there because they are kind of safe representatives because the rest fears you know what might actually happen if the libyan people as they try and take the
7:06 am
democratic initiative for themselves effectively against the 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 they're orientated instead to wards the west and their interests now it's thought colonel gadhafi is most influential son saif al islam has fled to nigeria apparently looking to have himself over to the international criminal court has reportedly used a spokesperson to make contact with the hague to deny charges of crimes against humanity however some experts believe that putting gadhafi sight on trial is the last thing some muster leaders want to see arkansas about that explains. to some moammar gadhafi was a man with not much secrets which will supposedly he buried with him i think that there were tremendous sighs of relief all over capitals in western
7:07 am
europe this is somebody who cut all sorts of deals with the french but 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 reason and i am not in the slightest bit surprised that he was captured alive if you very quickly ended up getting it that is return from diplomatic exile was spectacular hugs handshakes and kisses from the heads of countries which denounced him that he's now silenced but the suspicion around those who laid out the welcome mat is far from buried. i don't feel as long as the history seems with . the shooter dealing with his constant and. it's all go away and obviously think this is a situation as fission will probably grow trink certain interaction ironically interests wish they could reverse recruit their interests then british prime
