no in tonight and by midnight on monday nato will be out of post gadhafi libya but the regime it helped into power is left of the nationwide gun problem right now the late colonel's asked always plan the jury eight months of civil war now those were once to united to defeat him a split over their agendas international observers say infighting is already happening between former rebels and the and 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 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 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
12:02 pm
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 we try to control the bends and we check if there is somebody who has been we ask him if he has a shrine for this we are not. tech ones 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 pumps gadhafi libya and its stability and now as you can see is the security here everything is under control and the only thing that you will make some mechanism how to give back the weapons but we see something very different i asked this head. what the plan is to disarm the population. i swear i don't know
12:03 pm
if you. mean in the us yet we have some of them see. that. at a makeshift arms collection center that covers one neighborhood in the capital we are shown this. 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 front of arms in the country could spell disaster ahead in the vacuum after gadhafi impulse revolt chaos as group find out this just battles for power. what you have now in libya is scores of
12:04 pm
armed factions who have no respect for each other and who have no respect for mates who actually are 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 we're going to see now is the intensification of the civil war between increasingly the factions which have overthrown but the gadhafi regime. and he's now a r t tripoli. libya's national transitional council which was never elected is now in power than some of its members are ex gadhafi loyalists and many of its fighters have links to al qaida medleys coming to the color shadow 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 n t c command and some of the more islamist led groups on the ground and in fact if you see some of the fighters on
12:05 pm
the ground they have the characteristics of islamist fighters had a long. history of from afghanistan on wards so this is huge and identity 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 event that does could be their normal run of wars but maybe another party in libya could have prevented that evolution of your station just to delegitimize variations for change better that and down there in d.c. that still has a lot of former gadhafi associates and cronies within it so that's really the nub 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 libyan cash was courted to help nicolas sarkozy in power among others but more that in an hour's time on. next though
12:06 pm
syria's president is warning western nations that intervening in his country will cause an earthquake that will take the middle east but charlotte told britain's sunday telegraph newspaper that international involvement could turn his country into another afghanistan his comments follow the u.n. chief latest call to end the repression is after rican trash is claimed reported by the arab league's also weighing a strong criticism to the shuttle to meet syrian officials later sunday the u.n. believes more than three thousand people perished the unrest in the dissident syrian writer and democracy company we shall follow things most people don't want in the face. of the thought you were against military intervention whether it's a date 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
12:07 pm
peaceful they want to progress under conditions of freedom and development and they don't want to turn into a concentration camp a poly gone philology countries. brought back from the us based on the war coalition believes 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 the advance with the support with the 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 and i think the first step and this is the plan of the obama
12:08 pm
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 khadafi 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 a clear message begin the civil war they want to weaken syria first as a as a prelude to a more direct intervention for regime change. ryback still to come this hour on r.t. another outbreak of violence in the middle east to report on how deadly exchange fire between israel and gaza has overshadowed the peaceful protests of government spending that's been happening in tel aviv. and the whistle blowing over wiki leaks

become the protesters through these past six weeks of being careful not to taint the movements reputation with violence by and large most reports suggest that this movement has been almost entirely peaceful but some in the us media use the night of violence you know clinton to portray the protesters 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 the marginal and radical and fringe in order to discredit it this movement really is about all americans it's not just about people that historically been poor this is about now it's to the middle class that is

12:14 pm
one of the concerns people have is that among the hundreds of palestinian prisoners who are still in these radio jails and who still need to be released as part of that prisoner exchange deal that saw one israeli soldier return to israel in exchange for more than a thousand palestinian prisoners many of the palestinian prisoners who still need to be released belong to the democratic front for the liberation of palestine and that is one of the palestinian groups that has claimed responsibility for a number of these rockets that have been fired into israel in recent days so there 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 part of that deal there were more than twenty 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 of detracting attention away from domestic
12:15 pm
problems and certainly if you look at the international media coverage the international media was much more focused on 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 protesters say they say that they want money to not be spent so much on me on the defense budget before cuts they have to be made so that more money can be spent domestically in search for me this increase in violence and the government's response in terms of the fact that it is going to give gaza a harsh hand to tracks attention away from what people here say is the ongoing situation where they have very real demands that are more often than not overshadowed by the excuse all the security concerns. the reporting that uncovered about fifteen minutes as well the israeli politician explains what a peace settlement between the palestinians. is to lead the program the good zero all the way. to russia for

12:17 pm
which is that the fundamentals were there to be seen twenty twenty five years ago it was supposed to be a six to sixty percent debt to g.d.p. ratio before states qualified in the first place to join the euro and now it's being seen as some achievement if greece money she's got to get down to twenty or it's long been a ticking time bomb bailout as a rule of thumb unless they are there to achieve a set end with major reforms as a reform don't work i don't see within this package not reading through the fifteen pages of the document i mean there are some aspirations a lot of aspirations in there but in terms of concrete proposals they're a little thin on the ground. the e.u. may have agreed how big the bailout basket should be but now it's got to fill it with cash to do that leaders are looking to china and sent the fund chief there to generate a bit of economic enthusiasm but beijing's are jumping at the chance it seems because of his there believe china is treading carefully so it doesn't throw good money after bad. china will join the band of all the saviors by china
