countries final liberation parties and he's in our reports from tripoli. well the so-called libyan liberation has been announced in benghazi people celebrating across the country of course here in the capital tripoli no exception people out here on what was formerly called green square now it's called martyrs square out here with their minds with their children their games with the kids much less presence of tanks as there has been over the past couple of days ago some people still are shooting into the air as a form of celebration also some fireworks in the mix as well and people are really out right has to be said although a strange makes it seems like very much a family atmosphere i as these celebrations take place with that said when you go out into the crowd and ask them what they see happening here beyond gadhafi what they expect from the interim government whoever might take over after that they say freedom freedom freedom they can say very much more and that's a time when you start to think about three or more libya and of course before the
12:02 am
war libya could boast one of the highest living standards on the continent if not the highest in terms of my life expectancy boats child mortality rates they had a european style health care system very good social benefits and experts that we've been speaking to from around the world not so much here in libya it's be fair do you believe that really people once they the dust settles in the celebrations finish they might realize that the rebuilding and reconstruction of this country is going to be a tremendous thing i mean really we had a chance to go around the outskirts of tripoli today it's in samples really there's a lot of destruction your there's a lot of work to be done just in terms of rebuilding we're hearing that some sixty percent of the country doesn't have money mourner and then you go into the restaurants and just syrian capital because of the financial markets very different as opposed to muslims it was something it was the nato bombings because there are rumors that could happen was in fact fighting in the country plumbing system which is very vast and other much that they were in fact destroyed my contempt for
12:03 am
hellish conflict. reports there in terms of the new government announced today from the head of the can't see it was done was the only one hundred percent let me see the country moving towards the real war and this is something that analysts were speaking about way before gets out he was killed but if it happens to be moving more hard line on the direction then we know that it's something that you can tell by being at the celebration but it's not quite what the people are thinking about just yet another copy that gadhafi is gone and that's pretty much all that are on the minds of the people here on martyr square in the libyan capital reporting from tripoli and he's in our hearts. jordan based professor he says the overthrow of cut off in libya lacks legitimacy it was not that evolution i mean they claimed it was that evolution and i have studied the revolutions. in this part of the world but but in his to you know his study speaking this cannot be described
12:04 am
as that evolution it was some sort of a coup d'etat there where you have the military coup de back by nato and actually the nato. and nato actually under the pretext of helping civilians or protecting civilians waged a war against libya both the infrastructure of the state of the institutions and the old lady surveillance video reports say that tens of thousands of libyans were killed no that's going to be described as that evolution it's an occupation and the gangs the armed gangs we've seen what they've done with gadhafi these armed gangs but nothing of the lucian i think the message that it's. what you are if you live from moscow and we are always keen to know your opinion on our top stories well today on our website r.t. dot com we are asking what awaits libya now that colonel gadhafi is dead let's take a look at a side vote now well as you can see from this pie chart the vast majority believe
12:05 am
the country will now decide and into chaos but with the oil fields guarded by western countries about a tanf think libya will undergo years of slow painful recovery while the rest of the viewers are split between two options whether there will be baghdad style green zone in tripoli with tribesmen taking control elsewhere or the country will eventually see political reform and for asperity well let us know what you think on this issue by logging on to our website r t v dot com and cast your vote. now the e.u. summit in brussels has yet to produce a deal on the continent's debt crisis but has resulted in conflict between nicolas sarkozy and david cameron the fears exchange happened when the british prime minister said all leaders should be involved in final talks and finding an economic solution but the french president said he was sick of cameron trying to influence the eurozone despite not being part of it or his dale bushell has more on the
12:06 am
crisis talks for breasts. the e.u. leaders are putting pressure on to cancel on their huge loans to greece and they are huge the latest news is that the national debts of greece will reach one hundred eighty one percent of g.d.p. next year and of course that's completely unsustainable banks' own so they're not charities so they're obviously resisting these moves they say that if some e.u. bureaucrats can cancel loans just like that then the world lending market will simply dry up the leaders have agreed to create a european economic government with regular eurozone summits to enforce it according to a leak that we've received is to control countries like italy there's been a blazing row here between prime minister silvio berlusconi who reportedly refused any more national moves there it's the measures germany says that spain has taken these spending cuts so why shouldn't italy do the same to get their house in order also the public realm between france and germany is worrying investors france wants
12:07 am
a bigger bailout port it's already a ton of billions of euros but it wants more to rescue any potential any potential failures in the eurozone and on worries that they could be more countries next whereas germany germany's angela angela merkel is well aware that her voters the german taxpayers will have to pay for any such bailouts and she's pushing for those countries to try and get their house in order on their own it's all in all german officials here are saying this whole euro zone project is starting to look like a single one way flow of cash from berlin to southern europe ordinary greeks see it differently of course they are having to put up with very difficult cuts in public services in greece. reporting there from brussels carolina a professor of political science says the unpopular a crisis measures may lead to political nightmare as well as a financial one. europe seems to be going from one summit to the next unsoldering
12:08 am
and nothing although. with a new discussion and debate around this summit it seems that european leaders are edging closer to becoming realistic on some points notably. in a stare and see a program in greece it's impossible for greek greece to pay back its set. stare into a program in greece and italy in spain and portugal everywhere in europe i mean there's we are going to be known consumption anywhere in the u.s. and china are pushing europe towards. adopting a solution because they're american banks are also exposed expose you know european banks insurance in the u.s. and so on so there is the possibility of international travel but right now are what. liberals and come up with the level of europe is more for everyone so the greeks more financial toll more than what he's before italy the government
12:09 am
is terribly unpopular. slain the government is also a popular and you have movements that are now minority movements but there are people protesting in the streets and making getting stronger and stronger so they could be political turmoil on top of the financial turmoil. now with the european debt crisis showing no signs of abating voices are growing louder within the u.k. to reconsider the country's membership of the struggling block parties discuss this issue among other things with the u.k. conservative party patrick mercer and his full interview is coming your way in twenty minutes time but here's a quick walk. me or a skeptic so afraid you you're not going to get any any warm words of praise for me about the european union dues damaging as you know the kingdom we are a sovereign nation and sometimes one wonders what sovereignty we still show was the european rules strictures a place to promise or i who is that in the same way that we very sensibly stayed

out of membership of the euro itself i hope that we could send you to be skeptical about our first revolt the. us secretary of state hillary clinton says ties between moscow and washington absent necessarily improved since she was appointed america's top diplomat but despite a warming in relations some political groups in the us are actively pushing for a more aggressive stance and not only against russia is going to to count takes a look at the reasons behind the hawkish mood and washington. the cold war is long over but not in the minds of some influential american lobbies and politicians to so long where magazine has looked into the expense records of one lobby group in washington and revealed a few years it has courted groom is to adopt distinct entire russian standpoint by

russia dictators all over the world including bashar assad maybe even mr putin and maybe some chinese maybe all of maybe a little bit more nervous because clearly the people of libya rose up we assisted them this group of people. has a large number of institutions that they work through they have a large number of think tanks they have law firms they have magazines they have newspapers to push this idea of the supremacy of the united states washington has never been short of war mongers the most visible one these days is the republican presidential candidate mitt romney he has already delivered tough words to the likes of the rand pakistan and china he also called for boosting america's military spending ending the reset with russia and unfolding a robust missile defense program in europe america is not destined to be one of several equally balanced global powers america must lead the world in these

pitching himself as the candidate of the military industrial complex hoping that they by. america's best military industry will be first to benefit from the strong rhetoric of washington's war hawks some of the biggest corporations and transnational corporations that make weapons that benefit from an ideology that they. united states must exercise military supremacy and have an endless arms race and those big companies are tied to the biggest banks on wall street there is a military industrial complex and it is facilitated by having a pretext for endless war so when president obama said we'll push the reset button with russia this whole lobby and growing industry said well no that's bad because any relaxation of tensions means less of an excuse to produce more and more weapons the u.s. is the world's number one weapons producer and exporter and countries like georgia are looking to become the next market for american weapons we are quite familiar
12:14 am
with u.s. politicians influence groups in washington that call for the end of the reset with russia but it's not just russia where tensions are being ramped up the same people are doing a lot of fear mongering against countries like china and the list this pretty long actually while experts agree the only side that could possibly benefit from a potential confrontation is america's military machine definitely not the people in those countries involved i'm going to check our reporting from washington our team. will occupy wall street protests continue and the u.s. and our correspondents keeping a close eye on. follow all the updates on her where later in the day are crossed on gas discuss what internet plays in this and other protests around the world. you know there used to be the term armchair revolutionary the well no no there is even more widespread phenomenon which is the mouse pad revolutionary.
