final liberation large is an eastern hour joins us live now from tripoli. bringing 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 post daffy's death here certainly people celebrating across the country as the official so-called liberation was announced on sunday celebrations very widely here in the capital tripoli and very few people we go i'm not that what they want now from the end to see whatever comes in right now the organization promising elections within eight months but analysts are saying that of course is not for sure thing because the population is very heavily armed even up the celebrations although there were lots of games and things for the kids to do there's a lot of weapons out on the streets at least as i've been seeing here in the
4:02 am
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 official 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 are very well armed and 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 though these people are celebrating you just full of elation that gadhafi is finally gone few people here at least the people we've been speaking to a really thinking about what that means for the future of libya. when 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
4:03 am
there but is there a realization of the huge challenges that lie ahead. there are tremendous challenges let's not forget that pre war in libya had one of the best living standards on the entire continent some people say that in fact it had the best in terms of life inspect expectancy child mortality rates there were great social benefits and your style health 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 if you go into restaurants about things 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 to one of the country's main water systems which was completely destroyed and still being disputed who destroyed it whether it was nato work the documentary 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 lives and they realize they

still don't have water by the way internet has been completely cut off for the last two days it's very difficult to work here once these people start realizing and comparing for how what their lives were like pretty good to have be and post the jaffee we might see people who are upset about it in fact right now though it's very difficult to find people who watched me talk about that that's one of our main challenges here this week is trying to find people and have them analyze the situation for us a lot of people afraid to talk about gadhafi in any kind of positive light my colleague maria from 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 a real challenge for us to try to find people who are willing to openly talk about the daffyd and i know why it's free and 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 surliness a sounds like there's

stayed out of membership of the euro itself. that we could send you to be skeptical about office revolt but he. 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 just going to count 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 to so long 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
4:10 am
reportedly wooed by the lobby called orient strategy 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 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 this road and not just russia dictators all over the world including bashar assad maybe even mr putin
4:11 am
or 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 ukraine 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
4:12 am
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 states that the un 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.
4:13 am
politicians influence groups in washington that call for the end of the reset with russia but it's not just one show 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 and 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. since then they have repeated your asia and australia of course finally sick of keeping a close eye on the protests follow all the updates on her twitter feed and later today are these people of values crossed out yes discuss what role the internet
