you're watching r t with the latest news of the week's top stories and first there's no farewell to arms in post gadhafi libya as nato pulls out leaving the country's new leaders to tackle its heavily armed public to secure peace. also headlining america's occupy wall street resists growing police pressure to pack up despite dozens of arrests and having to endure freaky weather conditions. an outbreak of deadly fire between israel and gaza as tens of thousands of israelis the turned to the streets of tel aviv to protest against disproportionate government spending in favor of the military.

plus the curtains are probably legendary home of russia's finest ballets in operas as the bolshoi theater of rio president's style after a capital. welcome is midnight here in moscow right now you're watching the weekly our roundup of the top stories in the past seven days with me kevin owen and by midnight on monday nato will be out of postscript afy libya but the regime it helped into power is left with a nationwide gun problem the late colonel's weapons were plundered during eight months of civil war now those who were once united to defeat him a split over their agendas international observers say infighting is already happening between former rebels who are armed to the teeth are seizing this and now reports from libya. 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 to 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 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 and we check if there is somebody has work 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 arms the question now what if they don't and what does that mean up for posts gadhafi libya and its stability and now as you can see the security here everything is under control and the only thing that we were some mechanism how to give the weapons but we see something very different i asked this head commander what the plan is to disarm the population and. i swear i don't know if you. mean it is just like the us of the sea. and a makeshift arms collection center that covers one neighborhood in the capital we are showing this. these are the weapons people across to me today not many. not down one block in tripoli and you'll see twice as many firearms. so you know

how many weapons there are in libya i think is likely to have been steadily yeah i think everybody have. some think the fun of arms in the country could spell disaster ahead and the vacuum after gadhafi impulse revolt chaos as proof i doubt this is fadel power. 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 maple 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 which have overthrown good because off the regime. and you see now a r t tripoli. libya's national transitional council which was never elected is now in power some

of its members are extra deaf in loyalists and many of its fighters have links to al qaeda released commentated cole shero things libya is 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.p.c. command and some of the more islamist led groups on the ground and in fact if you see some of the fighters on the ground they have the characteristics of islamist fighters the long kind of history of from afghanistan on wards so this illusion that the n.p.c. has full control on the ground is not actually correct and i would say that the events that we're seeing them could be person of could be their normal run of wars but maybe another party in libya could have presented that evolutionary or stations that's the village of a spacious for change better that in d.c. that still has a lot of former. associates and cronies within it so that's really the nub of the

problem. our food 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 no think he'll handle himself over to the war crimes court could spill the beans on how libyan cash was told to help nicolas sarkozy and of power among others got more back when i was a time here on our t.v. . posting on syria now there the president's warning western nations that intervening in his country will cause an earthquake that will tear the middle east was told britain the sunday telegraph newspaper the international involvement could turn his country into another afghanistan his comments follow the u.n. chief latest call for oppressions to end the week and trashes fifty guys the arab league's also weighing in with strong criticism it's urged damascus to take the necessary measures to protect civilians the u.n.

now believes more than three thousand people have perished in the west but this isn't syrian writer and democracy campaign to michelle kilo pigs most people would go into the military solution to the front. of the for or against military intervention but that'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 peaceful they want to progress under conditions of freedom and development and they don't want to turn into a concentration camp a polygon for larger countries. from the u.s. placed into all coalition and believes that unlike libya syria is too strong for the alliance to intervene and that's where the west wants to spark a civil war to bring about regime change. and 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 could begin military operations against the syrian air force or air defenses i think the first 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 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 a civil war and they want to weaken syria first as a as a prelude to a more direct intervention for regime change. so the colors are on r t another outbreak of violence in the middle east we report on how a deadly exchange of fire between israel and gaza has overshadowed a peaceful mass protest and government spending and tell of the. school's demonstrators supporting your compiler wall street movement been arrested across the u.s. riot police in denver moved into telling activists and refused to leave earlier police used pepper spray to disperse the crowds at least sixty people were arrested in the states of texas oregon and california the police went into force curfews removing protesters belongings it was make sure threatening demo's though in new york after the city was hit by the seasonal snow blizzard over the activists say

despite all that they're ready to withstand harsh weather conditions a make their point and his art he's got a tradition can report from washington the occupy protesters a serious of a determination to see. the peaceful nationwide movement turned violent overnight in oakland. police attacked protesters with tear gas stun grenades. flash bombs and rubber bullets we had been there for weeks we have been taking care of ourselves there's been no incidents with the police and they came in one of the most terrifying shows of force that i've ever seen in my entire life and they came in and they either flushed everyone out of the camp or that's that them and then they began to systematically all of that that's part and this new people really really angry a former u.s. marine an iraqi war veteran was seriously injured by a tear gas canister that police fired at him. footage of the wounded veteran and

police brutality spread quickly a shock of it galvanizing the nation and the occupy movement across the country. google says the company received requests from local law enforcement agencies to remove you tube videos of police brutality they did not comply. the stronger of the force of the response five establishment the stronger the movement will get and the larger the protests will become the protesters through these past six weeks of being careful not to taint the movement's reputation with violence by a march most reports suggest that this group has been almost entirely peaceful but some in the us media use the night of violence you know plans to portray the protestors 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 he characterized you know it's a big. perspective of the need a marginal and radical fringe in order to discredit it this movement really is about all americans it's not just about people that have a story we've been told or this is about now it's true the middle class is starting to feel the impact of corporate greed that is when this country for so long as the movement grows bigger and more structured it's becoming harder to ignore the message of the campaigners who call themselves the ninety nine percent and protest against corporate crime and government complicity protesters tens march through and throughout the country there will be more the movement is only expanding several weeks ago police crackdown on protesters with pepper spray this week it was tear gas and stun grenades protesters now want to hit big business where it hurts a general strike next week demanding banks and corporations shut down for

a day but will the police response be an even more brutal crackdown i'm going to check our reporting from washington our team. we're keeping a close eye on the protest of the united states coast to coast head online for more of a tease coverage if you get a moment. you can hardly go to our you tube channel to check out the chance which your protest is are using right now to rouse the rallies. israeli airstrikes on gaza have killed at least ten palestinians in response to rocket attacks on the jewish state that left one dead it's the worst outbreak of violence in weeks following a successful prisoner swap deal between telhami even a mouse pulis leah's the latest from israel. and one of the concerns people have is

that among the hundreds of palestinian prisoners who are still in israeli jails and who still need to be released as part of their 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 steward 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 the israelis not to release the hundreds of palestinian prisoners that it is still committed to released as part of their deal there were more than twenty thousand people that took to the streets of tel aviv they were not surprised by the violence they see that this is something that has happened in the past and it is the government's way of detracting attention away from domestic problems in certain 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 streamed so much on the on the defense budget for cuts there to be made 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 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 of security concerns. for a court sentenced a former israeli soldier for a half years in prison for releasing classified documents some of the league files detail military officials approving the assassination of palestinians in the west bank but those claims are even being investigated spoke to legal experts sorry brashear told me that that undermines israeli law. in this case

a whistle blower blew a loud and disturbing whistle the military is violating international law and the directors of the israeli supreme court in carrying out assassinations in situations in which they are required to try to make an arrest and so the state attorney's office prosecuted the soldier but failed to seriously investigate the conduct revealed in the stock in its conduct which raises serious questions about rule of law and have a private system that pattern of behavior violating orders by the supreme court because it is a pretty court said that if they take you must try to arrest is part of a pattern of practice within the israeli system and it's something that's very disturbing because when the army does not obey the orders by the supreme court the supreme court is actually more reluctant to issue those orders because no court wants to shorter's that are going to be ignored and then of course you have a serious threat to the rule of law because in a democratic system the army is of course supposed to listen to what is usual system tells them tells them to do. e.u. leaders manage to strike

a last minute deal about euros and so on thursday to try to save greece and avoid further collapse the bags a little bit of a pill to swallow that they ended up agreeing to write off fifty percent of what greece owes without the euro's of leaders decided on the company's private sector debt of one hundred billion euros subversion seaport of cash look at all since well to one trillion euros after the summit in brussels french president nicolas sarkozy said allowing greece to join the euro was quote over state but over the girl who runs two leading business magazines believes it's only a sticking plaster solution greece needs amputating for the eurozone. it's just buying time because it's really not the bazooka everybody has been asking for i would describe it as a water peaceful this of course prevents for the moment that we really get to a kind of loosening. escalation of the greek example which is the direction of the eighty percent of g.d.p.

we can cannot go. all these structural resolution to the different 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 has been put on the table already several months ago 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 fairly much on the minds 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 importing or. if you manage a report for the most anticipated cultural event of the russian capital in years. the bolshoi is back but they give you the theater a larger thing happening waiting for as moscow's landmark theatre and build its
