as many libyans celebrate the country as a player liberation questions remain over whether the price they've paid in the form of lost lives is growing infrastructure was too high. the search for a solution to the ease debt crisis at a summit in brussels brings no breakthrough while in the u.k. there are growing calls to leave the blog altogether as a parliament prepares to vote on whether to hold a referendum on the issue. plus we visit once was the world's largest nuclear test site in council stand which still bears the scars of its atomic legacy despite the program's closure twenty years ago. when r.t. coming to live from moscow a marina joshua welcome to the program why was a blood stain image which marked the end of the old regime but which some fear also
4:01 am
hints at a bloody future a graphic footage of colonel cut out of his demise and questions over his death continue to cause controversy that says libya's interim rulers rushed to call for a celebration of what they call the country's final liberation watches and he's now joins us live now from tripoli fellow tunis and bring us the mood from tripoli what are the people there are saying and what's life there like post gadhafi. well it's still early of course to completely assess the situation hosted taffy's down here certainly people celebrating across the country as the official so-called liberation was announced on sunday celebrations very windy here in the capital tripoli and very few people we go out now ask them what they want now from the end to see whatever comes in right now of the organization from seeing the elections
4:02 am
within eight months but having listeners say that of course is not a for sure thing because the population is very heavily armed even up the celebrations although there are lots of games and things for the kids to do there there's a lot of weapons out on the streets at least as i've been seeing here in the capital and so their next step now is of course to disarm the population because there are fears that first of all there could be conflict between different tribes across the country and then within the end to see another officials these were the rebels that began this fight for freedom in benghazi earlier this year that there will be a power struggle in fact between them and most of those groups from very well armed so that's one of the security one of the security challenges that the country is now facing among other things much of the country has been destroyed and those people are celebrating in just a full of elation that exactly is finally gone few people here at least the people
4:03 am
we've been speaking to a really thinking about what that means for the future of libya. would just over the weekend saw the food edge that came out of tripoli with people rejoicing they are but of course when the high spirits subside all the hard work will have to be done there but is there a realization obvious huge challenges that lie ahead. there are tremendous challenges let's not forget that pre-board libya had one of the best living standards on the entire continent some people said that in fact you have the best in terms of life and spread expectancy child mortality rates there were great social benefits and secure in style house care program and so once the dust settles and people start realizing for instance sixty percent of the country right now doesn't have running water we're going to rush on for five months at least here in the capital and i'm sure it's much much worse in other parts of the country there's no running water and it's about starting to happen today we're planning to travel
4:04 am
to one of the country's main our water systems which was completely destroyed and still being disputed who destroyed it whether it was nato worked exactly why it was but this is one of the problems that people will be facing and once they stop celebrating and start trying to go back to their normal minds and they realize they still don't have water by the way internet has been completely cut off in the last few days it's very difficult for here once these people start realizing and comparing perhaps what their lives were like free could be and post the daffyd we might see people who are upset about it in fact right now though it's very difficult to find people to watch the talk about that that's one of our major challenges here this week is try to find people and have them analyze the situation for us a lot of people afraid to talk about the jaffee in any kind of positive light my colleague we have some notion all of the people that she interviewed just a couple of months ago have been killed all of my contacts that were given to me from london their phones are switched off so this is
4:05 am
a real challenge for us to try to find people who are willing to open the talk about gadhafi and i know why it's three and a whole situation here in libya over the next couple of days that's what we're trying to do here to make sure we hear all sides of the stories but so far it's proved to be a very difficult challenge all certainly sounds like there's a tough situation there and certainly a very complex and challenging but do stay safe and we of course are keeping an eye on what's happening there through your twitter updates and he's now a thanks very much indeed for bringing us the latest from tripoli. well we are always keen to know your opinion as well on our top stories today our website or t. dot com we are asking why the way to levy an out of colonel gadhafi is dead well let's take a look at the side votes so far the vast majority of respondents believe the country will now to sand into chaos but will the oil fields guarded by western countries while about

over but not in the minds of some influential american lobbies and politicians the so long magazine has looked into the expense records of one lobby group in washington and revealed a few years it has courted groomers to adopt distinct anti russian standpoint by arranging interviews for them and paying for their trips and dinners one of those reportedly wooed by the lobby called the orient strategy is that you're only named allie lake from the washington times he wrote a series of pieces undermining that we said between russia and the u.s. one of his articles focus 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 the leak is officially contracted by the georgian government we try to get in touch with mr late 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
4:11 am
actively rooted for the war in iraq then he 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 washing their taters 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 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 ukraine pakistan and china he also called to boosting america's military

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 washed away pensions are being ramped up the same people are doing a lot of fear mongering against countries like china iran believes 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 say 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 protest against fat cats and corporate greed erupted in the u.s.
