these are now 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 fights with their children their games for 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 really out has to be said although a strange makes it seems like very much a family atmosphere 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 of libya and of course before the war libya could boast one of the highest living standards on the continent if
2:02 am
not the highest in terms of high life expectancy loads how it works how the 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 to 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 heat i mean really we have a chance to go around the outskirts of tripoli today it's in samples really there's a lot of destruction here does a lot of work to be done just in terms of rebuilding we're hearing that some sixty percent of the country doesn't know how funny mortar and then you go into the restaurants or stuff just staring them in the bathroom so much because there are different as opposed to muslims it was some say it was the nato bombings because there are rumors that could happen was in fact hiding in the country plumbing system which is very vast you know there are rumors that they were in fact right
2:03 am
mike time point with the conflicting. points there ah in terms of the new government announcement today from the head of the yet it was done was you know that then you see the country moving towards the real more and this is something that analysts were speaking about way before gets out he was killed but if it happens that my team will be moving more and more hardline his lawmakers wrecked and then behind him i know he's going to make it something that you can tell by being at the celebration but it's not quite what the people are thinking about just yet now they're happy 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 now are. all jordan based professor says they overthrow of khadafi in libya lacks legitimacy it was not that evolution i mean they claimed it was that evolution that i have studied that evolution's. not the one in this part of the world but that but in his to you know he studied speaking this cannot be described
2:04 am
as that evolution it was some sort of a coup d'etat there where you have a 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 the institutions and the old lady sybil years and very poor say that tens of thousands of libyans would know that cannot 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 on the thought of lucian i think the message that is. well we are always keen to know your opinion on our top story so today on our website r.t. dot com we are asking what a way slepian now that colonel gadhafi is dead. take a look at our of god there are the sides both so the vast majority as you can see believe the country will now need to sand into chaos but it will be boiled field

guarded by western countries while about a tanf think we undergo years of slow and painful recovery while the rest of the viewers are split between two options whether there will be baghdad style green zone in tripoli with tribesman taking control or that the country will eventually see political reform and first buried in a lot of snow what do you think on this issue by logging on to the website r t v dot com. the e.u. summit in brussels has yet to produce a deal on the continent's debt crisis but has resulted in conflict between the glass sarkozy and david cameron the fierce exchange happened when the british prime minister said all should be involved in final talks on 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 does daniel bushell has more on the crisis
2:06 am
talks from brussels. the e.u. leaders are putting pressure on to cancel. their huge loans to greece and they are huge the latest news is that the national greece will reach one hundred ninety one percent of g.d.p. next year and of course completely unsustainable banks on to the not charities so they're obviously resisting these moves they say that if you can. just like that then the market will simply dry up the leaders have agreed to create a european economic government with regular eurozone summits to enforce it is to control countries like italy there's been a blazing row here between prime minister silvio berlusconi who reportedly refused any more national measures germany says that spain has taken these spending cuts so why should we do the same to get their house in order also the public between france and germany is worrying and they still want
2:07 am
a big. it's already it's hundreds of billions of euros but it wants more to rescue any potential any potential failures in the eurozone and. they could be more countries next whereas germany germany's angela angela merkel is well aware that 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 who are saying this whole eurozone project is starting to look like a single one way flow of cash from berlin to cells and europe ordinary greeks see it differently of course they are having to put up with very difficult cuts in public service these in greece. reporting there. and a professor of political science as popular 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 and solving
2:08 am
nothing although with the new discussion and debate around this summit it seems that european leaders are edging closer to becoming relisted on some points new. under stare into programming greece it's impossible for greek re stoop a back except stare into a program in greece and italy in spain and portugal everywhere in europe i mean basically there's going to be new consumption anywhere in the u.s. and china are pushing europe to words. 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 crime or the great nar what . liberals have come up with at the level of europe is more the scenario for everyone so the greeks more financial toll more than what he's before it to be the
2:09 am
government's there be a popular. strain the government is also a popular and you have movements that are not minority movements but people protesting in the streets making getting stronger and stronger so they could be political turmoil on top of the financial turmoil while with the european debt crisis showing no sign of a landing there is growing support within the u.k. to reconsider the country's membership of the struggling bloc are to discuss that is here among other things where the u.k. conservative party m.p. patrick mercer and his full interview is coming your way in twenty minutes time but here is a quick buck. you're not getting any warm words of praise for me about the european union is damaging to the united kingdom we are a sovereign nation sometimes one wonders how sovereignty was to show last european levels of history as a place to promise what i owed is that britain 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 off the revolt the e.u. . the white house says ties with russia have significantly improved since the obama administration came to power 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 are he's got an edge to account takes a look at the reasons behind the hawkish mood in washington. the cold war is long over but not in the minds of some influential american lobbies and politicians the salon web magazine has looked into the expense records of one lobby group in washington and revealed a few years it has courted journalists to adopt distinct anti russian standpoint by arranging interviews with them and paying for their trips and dinners one of those reportedly wooed by the lobby called orient strategist is
2:11 am
a journalist named allie lake from the washington times he wrote a series of pieces undermining the reset between russia and the u.s. one of his articles focused on allegations that russia masterminded last year's explosion near the u.s. embassy in georgia accusations he took from georgian investigators of course as it turns out the lobby that approached mr lake is officially contracted by the georgian government we try to get in touch with mr lake he never responded but analysts say it's not so much the georgians agenda that a lobby like orian strategies is pushing forward but rather that of washington hawks the head of orient was an each to former defense secretary ronald rumsfeld he actively rooted for the war in iraq then she was an h. to senator john mccain well known for his hawkish foreign policy views senator mccain never concealed his desire to see russian leaders over throat and not just russia dictators all over the world including bashar assad maybe even mr putin. and
2:12 am
maybe some chinese maybe all of them 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 you rand pakistan and china he also called for boosting america's military spending ending the reset with russia and unfolding the robust missile defense program in europe america is not destined to be one of several equally balanced global powers america must lead the world from these pitching himself as the candidate of the military industrial complex hoping that they by. america's best
2:13 am
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 states that the united states most 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 will push the reset button with russia this whole lobby and growing industry say 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 with u.s. politicians influence groups in washington that call for the end of the reset with
2:14 am
russia but it's not just wash away tensions are being ramped up the same people are doing a lot of fear mongering against countries like china iran 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. at least one hundred anti wall street protesters have been arrested by police during the occupy chicago demonstration for refusing to leave a city park. this comes two days after dozens of people were arrested in new york it's been over a month since the protests against fat cats and corporate greed erupted in the u.s. since then they've been repeated in europe asia and australia our correspondent lucic fond of his keeping a close eye on the protests and you can follow all the updates on her twitter feed and extend our values crossed i guess discuss what role the internet plays and this
2:15 am
and other protests around the world. you know there used to be the term armchair revolutionary well no no there is even more widespread phenomenon which is the mouse pad revolutionary. which is somebody who's sitting in his computer you know probably in the basement with mom on the first floor and thinks that he's actively engaged in the revolutionary struggle when all you're doing is tweeting about it and i've been somewhat guilty of that i say if i may disagree firstly hundreds of thousands of people are in the streets putting their bodies in the alley secondly the idea of this. revolutionary and what we can understand is that these protests are not just physical process they're some process they're about changing minds and changing ideas and some people are able to engage you know better i mean to me.
