collapse of the world economy because this was no accident it was a very well planned exercise and as we know ireland became a victim portugal and now greece and apparently spain and italy are likely to follow it really doesn't matter who's in power there are people that are controlling this situation and we also have to understand that there's massive. could we say massive corruption fraud taking place and tax evasion in most countries that are actually creating this problems remember that they can take out any country financially or militarily that they want to take out their priorities are one to secure the world's natural resources the second one is to control the markets for those resources and thirdly is to control the gateways the sea lanes and the pipeline routes when you have control of this you basically have got the the world in the palm of your hand controls the finances of the world controls the

12:15 pm
refugees christopher hell joins us now he's the coordinator of high crimes dot org and one of those calling for public prosecutions joining us live from there in denmark now there's been plenty of speculation behind the motions of why the likes of the u.s. france and italy were interested in regime change their individual who was in it for sweden the country as i just said not even a nato member. well it actually. quoting. research reports from the sweetest of terms. it's actually a member of what they call themselves the american empire. so this is just no different from the perspective well i understand you want to see those resistance at all to stand trial but what about the argument that gadhafi deliberately targeted civilians whereas nato chiefs would argue that accidents do happen in war because i do understand you want to see people stand trial for crimes against
12:16 pm
humanity genocide and war of aggression well that's what's been taking place. there's no doubt about it it's. so. but in what way are the people of libya by all accounts a lost for nato intervention to help them take make sure that the regime change does take place so nato was merely doing what it was also the was not ok. no it's absolutely because. i think the number of jihadists the number eight thousand. nato i understand it's no nato information when the war started and up doesn't rebellion. and also let's not forget libya was ranked as number one in africa and possibly the other world as well before before the war and this was an assessment made by the united nations relief international criminal so
12:17 pm
. it's sort of what has happened here so no carry on carry on there's a bit of a delay with our line here do carry on please. ok thank you. what happened what has happened is the. western interests topple the most successful country and africa. that's not really helping the syrian population. all right well interesting enough the international criminal law did announce last week that they may consider bringing charges against nato military chiefs not was announced not long ago how encouraged are you by that. personally. no i see the i.c.c. smore like it in. the american empire if you will. but i mean it's a step in the right direction i would rather see it is so i would rather see the
12:18 pm
swedish forces sorted out by the swedish courts court system but very well for the swedish forces but also you would see the swedish government brought to account what sort of its public support are you getting for this yeah absolutely i mean you know what sort of public support are getting there. well it's tremendous it's a landslide. we started this side they're called high crimes dog. the people joining up for this petition for this fulfilling these charges just tremendous. all right tremendous support you actually achieve anything will the government broaden out really see people standing in the dark well that's a very good question not the sort of course into focus why would really doing this . so libya is sort of history it will it's history but they're also number wars plan wars in the pipeline to make them and tell us in in sweden hopefully in
12:19 pm
other places and countries well across europe aware of what will happen in libya so perhaps they think twice before putting us well for the next war and talk about what happened the history there in libya what has happened what about the future just briefly many people will say that the people in libya will be better off after gadhafi is now gone after all the large majority of people did not enjoy the wealth that the minority did in fact the standard of living could have been a lot better by all accounts do you not think that libya is going to be a better place without gadhafi just briefly. absolutely not it's now and. the hardest the still you know those terrorists so i mean that's not a good place to hand over a crime to with money and weapons to a terrorist organization that's basically what is happening in libya as far as i understand christopher we'll leave it there thanks very much indeed for your thoughts because the helm coordinator polite crimes dot org there joining us live

12:24 pm
then navigation system switches over towards the stars now that some people believe that this probe has failed in switching from the sun to the stars and if they can send a software patch and upload that patch to the probe it should be able to go about its mission just a few days later now the big problems come and arise if it turns out to be a problem with the hardware the focus probe contains seven tons of highly toxic fuel cause this feel was intended on sending it from earth to the moon or mars and then back to earth so these are a lot of their fuel on board their one nasa expert is referred to the for his current probe has the most toxic falling satellite ever so this is a problem a lost cause most of the russian space agency are facing that they may have to come up with some kind of contingency plan to deal with a potentially toxic. problem caused by the fuel that's on board this probe.
