12:01 pm
reopens in style after a capital referred which. i would say pm sunday night here in moscow you watching the weekly it's all rounder the top stories of the past seven days with me kevin. and by midnight on monday nato will be out of post gadhafi libya the regime that helped into power is left of the nationwide gun problem right now a late colonel's asked always plan the jury eight months of civil war now those were once the united states a fee to split over their agendas international observers say infighting is already happening between former rebels and the those who are armed to the teeth out season is now reports from libya. the war is over but the weapons are fully loaded. human rights watch has expressed grave concern
12:02 pm
about leftover are in libya their number one fear warehouses box on hold ground to air missiles which could in the wrong hands take down passenger aircraft it's through made so i made two 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 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 and we try to control the bends i mean if there's somebody who has worked and we ask him if he has authorization for this we are not. the. 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
12:03 pm
arms the question 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 you were made some mechanism 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 but. i swear i don't know if you. you know the. use of the city. and a makeshift arms collection center that covers one neighborhood in the capital we are shown. you 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
12:04 pm
how many weapons there are maybe. slaughtered so we have been sitting here i think everybody have. some think the fun of arms in the country could spell disaster ahead in the vacuum after gadhafi imposed through fault chaos as proof i doubt this is fadel. what you have now in libya is schools or armed factions who have no respect for each other and who have no respect for mates or 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 a intensification of the civil war between increasingly the factions were overthrown because off the regime. and he's now a r t tripoli libya's national transitional council which was never elected is now in power that some of its members are executed the loyalists and many of its
12:05 pm
fighters have links to al qaida middle east commentator koshare things libya has turned into a volatile country now. people have way too much faith in the n t c which is quite obviously not in control of the situation on the ground in libya at the moment and in fact you can see the tension between the empty sea command and some of the more obvious lead groups on the ground and in fact if you see some of the fighters on the ground they have the characteristics of islamist fighters that have a long criminal history from afghanistan on wards so this illusion that benghazi has full control on the ground is not actually correct and i would say that the events that we're seeing them could be personal could be their normal run or wars but maybe another party in libya could have prevented that evolutionary affiliation that's a village just in a variation or change and then down in d.c. that still has a lot of former gadhafi associates and cronies within it so that's really the nub
12:06 pm
of the problem. colonel gadhafi may be dead and buried but for some western leaders there are some skeletons that probably won't stay in the closet the late dictator's most influential son is signaling he'll handed over to the crimes court and could spill the beans on how living crash was caught it helped nicolas sarkozy among others but beyond that in an hour's time on. next those syria's president is warning western nations that intervening in his country will cause an earthquake that will take the middle east but sharon has told britain's sunday telegraph newspaper the international involvement could turn his country into another afghanistan his comments follow the u.n. chief latest call the repressions after rican clashes trade reported. the arab league's also weighing in a strong criticism to to shuttle to meet syrian officials later some doubt the u.n. believes more than three thousand people perished in the unrest and the dissident syrian writer and democracy we shall follow things most people don't want to. face
12:07 pm
. the fact is we're against military intervention but this is a 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 one 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 or poly gone for larger countries i'd rather go from the us space center and so believe that i'm like libya syria is too strong for the alliance to intervene that's why the west wants to spark a civil war to bring about regime change. we're using the same lingo the same scenario the syrian opposition is borrowing a page from the playbook for libya they know that they can come to power only with
12:08 pm
the advance with the support would be intervention through multiple means of the nato powers of the western powers and i think what we can tell the syrian people is look at what happened in libya the issue of a no fly zone sounds like go a way to defend civilians it's really a way to begin the war to begin military operations against the syrian air force or air defenses i think the first step and this is the plan of the obama administration is not direct military intervention but to promote a civil war inside of syria i think they realize that the syrian government is substantially stronger militarily and within the arab world as compared to feed but they can use the human beings who have grievances valid or not to be the human materiel for a civil war and i think the u.s. government officials signaling the syrian opposition and the syrian president that they should learn the lesson of libya is
12:09 pm

12:15 pm
are many people here saying that this does jeopardize that prisoner exchange deal and that it will be almost a convenient excuse for these rabies not to release the hundreds of palestinian prisoners that it is still committed to release as pushing back you know they were more than plain two thousand people that took to the streets of tel aviv they were not surprised by the violence they say that this is something that has happened in the past and it is the government's way off the track to attention away from domestic problems and certainly if you look at the international media coverage the international media was much more focus from what was happening in terms of security concerns and on israel's border with gaza and then on what was happening domestically here and this is exactly what poachers to say they say that they want money should not be streamed so much on the on the defense budget but for cuts there to be may so that more money can be streamed domestically and certainly this increase in violence and the government's response in terms of the fact that it is going to give gaza a harsh had tracks attention away from what people here say is the ongoing

a bit stupid 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 to take action against wiki leaks because they were hosting the site and what they may have been asked by individuals within the u.s. government so. obviously one of the issues is that there really are new 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 down that we would see other sides seeking to do the same kind of thing and getting around the restrictions of wiki leaks rights. both business and pleasure nation of coca start to finish casting their ballots in the first presidential election since a bloody uprising toppled former leader come about but here last spring counting is now on the way the current interim leader roza otunbayeva will step down later this year to make way for the winner of the three main contenders the front runner is the country's prime minister a wealthy businessman who's promising to bring stability and prosperity seen as
