to the program it was a blood stained image which marked the end of the old regime but which some fear also hence at a bloody future the graphic footage of colonel gadhafi his demise and questions over his death continues to cause controversy that's as libya's interim rulers rushed to call for a celebration of what they call the country's final liberation is an eastern hour 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 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 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 free or they'd be out of course before the war libya could boast one of the highest living standards on the continent if 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 i do 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 feat 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 there's a lot of work to be done just in terms of rebuilding we're hearing that some sixty

percent of the country talking now running water and then you go into the restaurants and stuff just here in. the bathroom so much because there are different as opposed to music from it was something 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 in other markets and they were in fact right mike time poilus of conflicting. points there ah in terms of the new government announcement today from the head of the get a list it 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 it gets out it was killed that if it happens that my team will be moving around more hard line here on the direction than behind it and i know it'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 for tripoli and

he's in our hearts. all jordan based professor his shell gossips as the 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 history you know he started to be speaking this cannot be described as that evolution it was some sort of a coup d'etat there where you have the military coup de tat 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 civilians and very poor say that tens of thousands of libyans would know that cannot be described as that of a nation it's an occupation and the gangs the armed gangs we've seen what they've done with gadhafi these armed gangs are nothing evolution and i think the message

that is there. always came to know your opinion on our top story so today on our website artie dot com we're asking why the waits libya now the colonel gadhafi is dead let's take a look at the site all vast majority believe the country will now disenchanted to chaos but with the oil fields guarded by western countries about ten of the respondents think under no year is of slow and painful recovery while the rest are split between two options here or whether there will be baghdad style green zone in tripoli with tribesmen taking control elsewhere or that the country will eventually see political reform and prosperity so you too can let us know what you think on this by logging on to our 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 nicolas

sarkozy and david cameron the fears exchange happened when the british prime minister said all leaders should be involved in the final talks on finding that economic solution the french president said he was sick of cameron trying to influence the eurozone despite not being part of it is daniel bushell has more on the crisis 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 eighty one percent of g.d.p. next year and of course completely unsustainable banks on to the not charities so that obviously resisting these moves they say that if. the loans just like that then the world lending market will simply dry up the e.u. leaders have agreed to create a european economic government with the eurozone summit 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 investors from a big. it's already at 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 the road and it's all in all german officials who are saying this whole euro zone 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 services in greece. reporting there from brussels carolan a professor of political science as they popular a crisis measures may lead to a political nightmare as well as a financial one. europe seems to be going from one summit to the next and solving 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 moodily. understands you program in greece it's impossible for greek riess to pay back except stare into a program in greece and italy in spain and portugal everywhere in europe i mean because we know 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 two for everyone so the greeks more financial toll more than what he's been for it to be the government's therapy and popular. slane the government is also a popular and you have movements that are not minority movements but there are 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 signs of an ng there is growing support within the u.k. to reconsider the country's membership of the struggling block on monday the country's parliament will vote on whether to stage a referendum on being part of the e.u. the u.k. conservative party m.p.

patrick mercer says membership harm spread and sovereignty is full interviews coming your way next hour. you're not giving me any warm words of praise from me about the european union is damaging to you know the kingdom we are a sovereign nation some of those sovereignty was to show was the european rules of history as a place to put 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 further involvement with 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 and the you ass are actively pushing for a more aggressive stance and not only against russia or he's got a stick and 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 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 in 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 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 pakistan and china the also calls 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 military industry will be first to benefit from the strong rhetoric of washington's warhawks some of the biggest corporations and transnational corporations that make weapons that benefit from an ideology that states that the 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 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 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

firstly hundreds of thousands of people are in the streets putting their bodies in the line secondly the idea of this. revolutionary what we could understand is that these protests are not just physical protests this symbolic process they're about changing minds and changing ideas and some people are able to engage you know better i don't mean to. twenty years since cattle say amban at its nuclear test side from its time as a cyber republic country as atomic arsenal has gone from being the world's fourth largest to nothing but decades on from seeing hundreds of explosions the environmental and human cost is still being felt as a stand artie's peter all over reports. over more than forty years around five hundred nuclear tests took place right here on the kazakhstan one hundred sixteen
