the national transitional council has agreed to let some suspected gaddafi fighters ago.t will detained foreign mercenaries -- mercenaries. our african correspondent has this report. >> this makeshift jail, relatives wait. news has filtered out that prisoners are to be released. many it -- men who were caught with gaddafi forces and the final days of battle. outside, i meet 01 and waiting for her nephew, just 19. the only volunteered to carry a weapon for three days. just before nightfall, freedom at last. 60 days in prison, mohammed is coming home. he is among the 200 released from this jail alone. hundreds more such free in cities across the country. as the men shot allowed to face a new libya, where gaddafi is no more, there is no sign of anger or fear of revenge. they treated us well, no one tried to beat us, he said. the prisoners being released here are all libyans. the authorities have told us they are holding alleged mercenaries, african nationals. they say it is a sign that they intend to release them soon. the question of mercenaries is a sensitive one. other do

>> well, the national transitional council, the authorities here have been very open. the mission ended officially yesterday but nato member states say they are standing by ready to come into libya and help to decommission the weapons. there are already people on the ground, u.k. and u.s. teams. the u.s. says they will bolster their team to 100 people destroying weapons in libya. there are elements of shutting the door after the horse has bolted. we are hearing about weapons depots and stashes around the country including surface-to-air missiles and there is concerns about those falling into the warm -- into the wrong hands. organizations such as al qaeda had a shopping list during the war when everything was chaotic to people on the ground. organizations like that might already have the weapons they want. whether they are inside of libya or transported out of the borders, that is not clear. there it is also the elements of chemical weapons, mustard gas. on top of that, there is another of weapons element. if you look at the war against colonel gaddafi's forces, that w

it was when the national transitional council was recognized, in effect, the world gave up on gaddafi. the syrian council said it made great strides to represent people in syria. we know there are other people out there. one of the biggest dilemmas will be, if the syrian government accepts the arab league's proposal to end violence, then there would need to be talks between the assad government and the syrian national council. many have said they would never talk with assad. the fact that this is not yet as coherent as the council was in libya. if they do recognize the syrian national council, that would be the next step, some sort of international convention. people engaged in serious say they're not ready for that. it's a very different scenario than in libya. >> matthew, we've seen some sanctions in place by the eu. what more can be done? >> almost 60 people and 19 organizations connected to the regime in damascus. what we are likely to see today from the eu foreign ministers meeting in brussels at the moment is strong condemnation, continued condonation of what's going on in syria

it's important to note that the national transition council issued a pledge early on in the conflicttating they would not use land mines and any future government of libya should join the mine ban treaty. we see positive movement by a number of countries as well as in the united states where there is a policy review under way at the moment. we'll see many of those countries at the treaty meeting next week. but this is an ongoing process and we're making headway, though. >> all right. we'll leave it there. thank you so much for your insight, mary wareham, the editor of "land mine monitor." another actor voicing his view of the brit herb press. >> that's right. britain's tabloid newspapers have been accused of acting like the maff -- mafia and bullying victims into silence. that was part of the evidence presented by actor and comedian steve kugan at a hearing here in london. >> he's a public performer who says he's not interested in fate, whose best known character is a bumbling reporter. he said he's lot count of the kiss and tell scenes. one involved the editor of "news of the world"

national council which is made up of the opposition there regarding that now is the legitimate authority in a way they created or recognized this organization which again is very similar to libya's national transitional council isn't it well and look at libya they don't even have control over their own militias. and so that's a real country could potentially degenerate into civil war and so it's just it's just totally irresponsible so one wonders what's happened to the diplomatic core of the western world after world war two i mean it's just a steady decline up close just briefly ask you finally turkey. having joined france's condemnation of assad as this week talked of his vision for a middle east along the lines of the new what about turkey's influence and its vision now for the middle east where i think turkey has a potential playing a very very important role. but i don't think the turks have any any more influence in syria. the americans do so. i think turkey is trying to position itself to be sort of a conduit for a bridge between the west and east middle east when everything shakes out but quite frankly we don't know when things are going to look like when they shake out it's my opinion for wh

journalist john pilger says there was evidence of battering before nato even got involved national transitional council told the french. they were good coach told her to be fired what should. be. the u.k. department for trade and investment already has staff on the ground in libya ready to welcome british companies. awarded contracts wanting to get in on the action shell and b.p. he shares roos on the news they were talking to the transitional government's engineering firms are up and mark macdonald also reportedly keen but the latter refused to put up a spokesman when asked preferring instead to send basic statements which critics say is a new tactic to avoid defending their ethics better than you are for them. any form of public discussion of why that's what that's going around the world. so far the conflict in libya looks like an excellent investment half a billion dollars to oust a dictator with a return of three hundred billion in business contracts when it's all over now that humanitarian goals no longer need to be touted wall suddenly makes great business sense nor is smith r.t. london now a qua

david if i can go to you i mean this is what's always brought up is that when you had the national transition council in libya they said they will respect this type of religious law and then we also have it and tunisia where this is going to be in play here and there are different variations forms flavorings you know you can go from country to country but the country that has it the most severe version of it is saudi arabia but they don't get a whole lot of criticism do they but that's correct. the fact is that islamic law is subject to a great deal of interpretation and a great deal of i'm going to be very candid fudging the words it's one thing to say we're imposing islamic laws on the thing to say will be inspired by islamic law will refer to islamic law when making our civil code use saudi arabia is not a particularly good role model donnelly because they observed. an understatement thanks to rid of a strict form of they're not an understatement there. absolutely. so i don't think you know i don't think i mean you know we will show you what you will certainly in tunisia and look for nader you wan

on to libya now where the national transitional council has promised to secure weapons depot as well as were discovered when fighting ended last month this comes after the u.n. security general ban ki moon calls on libya's new leaders to address the issue meanwhile michael sure a former cia intelligence officer says the current arms chaos is a direct result of the west interfering in other countries affairs. the europeans and the americans wanted assured access to european oil and on top of that american leaders are not unlike the leaders that were in moscow during soviet times they believe in the inevitability of democracy everywhere just is as marxism was it once believed to be inevitable and as a result they're upset in power structures centuries old and they're going to pay for. by civil war in those countries we have just created in. terms of the people who are released from libyan prisons and in terms of supplies of weapons for the islamists across north africa. to delve deeper into how foreign military interventions are shaping the region. you can see the latest videos on the
