7:01 am
just after three pm here in the russian capital this is r.t. now 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 preventing gadhafi 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 over but the weapons are fully loaded. human rights watch has expressed grave concern about leftover army in libya their number one fear warehouse thought to hold ground to air move which could in the wrong hands take down passenger aircraft it's through mates 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
7:02 am
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 it would try to control the bends if there is somebody who has worked and we ask him if he has a per se shooting 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 up for parts gadhafi libya and its stability and now as you can see is being secured here everything is under control and the only thing that you will make some may come is how to give back the weapons but we see.
7:03 am
something very different i asked this head commander what the plan is to disarm the population there. i swear i don't know if you. could let the so let me in on that and show us that we have some of the cdrom and when the tenth of a hundred and a makeshift arms collection center that covers one neighborhood in the capital we are shown there it will go through these other weapons people brought to me today not many walk down one block in tripoli and you'll see twice as many fire on. you know how many weapons there are in libya i think just like have to have incentive yeah i think everybody have a weapon some think the front of arms in the country could spell disaster ahead in the vacuum after gadaffi imposed revolt chaos as groups fight out a vicious battle of power. what you have now in libya
7:04 am
is scores of armed factions who have no respect for each other and who have no respect for mates or actually either they've opportunistically used to achieve some aims and nato has been foolish enough to go along with this so i think what we're going to sing about is the 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 at the end of the sea which could only be gadhafi with nato how is now asking the alliance to continue with mission a vivid indication of just how unstable the country is and he said no way our teeth tripoli. well now that nato is wrapping up in libya the organizations chief describe the operation as one of the most successful in the alliances history but patrick ase 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
7:05 am
possible sorts from western political leaders who are effectively trying to rewrite history throughout this entire conflict 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 by nature these are people that effectively deposits of the west 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 effectively the n.t. ciena 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 so wards the west and their interests. now it's thought colonel gadhafi is most influential sunnah saif al islam has fled to nigeria apparently looking to
7:06 am
have 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 however some experts believe that putting gadhafi sat on trial is the last thing some western leaders want to see arkansas verbally that explains. to some moammar gadhafi was a man too much secrets which will supposedly he buried with him and i think that there were tremendous size 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 if you 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
7:07 am
him gadhafi is now silenced but the suspicion around those who laid out the welcome mat is far from buried i don't feel his close to his grave to his seasons with but the. dealing with him is constant and it. will go away or seriously becomes that this incident was jewish was fishing who probably grew up drinks it near a room if you lead to a situation as it were through veterans then british prime minister tony blair was instrumental in get deaf mutes rehabilitation bringing him in from the cold in two thousand and seven that plane didn't leave empty handed trade between them flourished so did the cozy relationship there was six more secret meetings off the player left office he's people denying they were about releasing them look at the. the granny or britain would lose its lucrative libyan deals i regret myself

collapse the measures include writing off fifty percent of greek debt recapitalize the european banks so they can cope with any future losses and expanding the bailout fund to one trillion euros well after the summit in brussels french president nicolas sarkozy said allowing greece to join the euro ten years ago was a mistake the decision to extend the bailout fund has caused concern in germany the biggest contributor to the fund dr marcus kerber a political economy professor in berlin says the majority of germans don't want to pay for the mistakes of others. i have always held that germany sooner or later is going to wield the power to bring the continent to back to economic reason because we are in a phase of the euro agonizing and if such a so called sort this agonizing you should bring it quickly to an end the money we're spending at least money. and we know this i have said this in spring two thousand and ten we should have kept greece out of the euro zone from the very
