more from tripoli. it's a bill celebrating across the country as the official so-called liberation was announced on sunday celebrations very quietly here in the capital tripoli and very few people mainly you know i asked them what they want now from the end to see whatever comes in right now the organization promising elections within a month but the listener say that of course is not a 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 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 serious 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 between them and most of those 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 let's not forget that prewar in libya had one of the best living standards on the entire continent some people say that in fact didn't have the best in terms of license from expectancy child mortality rates there were great social benefits and secure the inside 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 is going to rush on foot at least here in the capital not sure it's months much worse by now other parts of the country there's no running water and some hot starting to happen so they were planning to struggle 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 or kentucky moya's this is one of the problems that people will be fine. even

though these people are celebrating you just full of elation that gadhafi is finally gone a few people here at least the people we've been speaking to really thinking about what that means for the future of libya. and he's now reporting there from tripoli jordan based professor his child has says the overthrow of libya lacks legitimacy it was not that evolution i mean they claimed it was an open question and i have studied the revolutions. not only in this wealth of the world but more but in his study can speaking this cannot be described as a revolution it was some sort of a coup de tat there where you have a military coup de back by nato and there actually been a. nato actually under the pretext of helping civilians effect and civilians waged a war against libya both the infrastructure of history the institutions and the ordinary civilians and courts say that tens of thousands of libyans were killed.

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 these armed gangs so nothing. i think . we're always keen to know you were opinion on our top stories so today on our web site com we're asking what awaits libya now that colonel gadhafi is dead let's take a look at the site oh oh vast majority so far believe the country will now just say and into chaos but with you oil fields guarded by western countries all about a ten think libya will undergo years of slow and painful recovery of the rest of the respondents are split between two options whether there will be baghdad style green zone in tripoli tribesmen taking control elsewhere or the country will eventually see political reform and prosperity let us know what do you think on this issue 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 death crisis but has resulted in conflict between nicolas sarkozy and they may camera appears exchange happened when the british prime minister said all should be involved in final talks on finding an economic solution but a french president said he was sick of cameron trying to influence the eurozone despite not being part of it or he's daniel bush last more on the crisis talks from brussels. the e.u. leaders are putting pressure on banks to cancel losses on their huge loans to greece and they are huge the latest news is that the national bits of greece will reach one hundred eighty one percent of g.d.p. next year and of course completely unsustainable goings on so they're not charities so they're obviously resisting these moves they say that. the loan will just like that then the market will simply dry up e.u.

leaders have agreed to create a european economic government with the euro zone summits to enforce it control countries like italy there's been a blazing row here between prime is the silvio berlusconi reportedly refused any more nationals there it's the measures germany says that spain has taken these spending cuts so why should italy do the same to get their house in order also the public between france and germany is worrying investors france wants a big bailout ports it's already it's hundreds of billions of euros but it wants more. any potential any potential failures in the eurozone and. that they could be more countries next whereas germany germany's angela merkel is well aware that german taxpayers will have to pay for any such bailouts and she's pushing for those countries to try to 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 way flow of cash from berlin southern europe ordinary greeks differently of course they are having to put up with very difficult cuts in public services in greece. and we're still reporting there from brussels well with the european debt crisis showing no signs of manning there is growing support well then the u.k. to reconsider the country's membership of the struggling walk 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 thousand membership arms britain sovereignty all these for the injuries coming your way next hour. you're not going to get any any warm words of praise for me about the european union does that mean so you know the kingdom we are a sovereign nation something what does sovereignty distant show most european borders of history supposed to or who is that part in the same way that we very sensibly state of membership of your itself or i think that we continue to be skeptical

about office revival but here. the white house says ties with russia have significantly improved since the obama administration came to power but the spyder 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 take a look at the reasons behind a hawkish mood in washington. the cold war is long over but not in the minds of some influential american lobbies and politicians because so long magazine has looked into the expense records of one lobby group in washington and revealed a few years it has forty crew members 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 strategy is that your only is named

allie leak from the washington times he wrote a series of pieces undermining the reset between the russia and the u.s. one of his articles focused on allegations that wash 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 lee is officially contracted by the georgian government we try to get in touch with mr lay he never responded put and only 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 throat and not just brush it caters for 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 or play work through they have a lot of think tanks they have a lot of 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 on these pitching himself as the candidate of the military industrial complex hoping that

they'd buy. america's that's 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 industries are 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 wash away tensions are being ramped up the same people are doing a lot of fear mongering against countries like china iran the list is 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. 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. arrested in new york it's been over eight months since protests against fat cats and corporate greed erupted in the u.s. since then they've been repeated europe asia and australia over spotted losing five is keeping a close eye on the protests so follow all the updates on her twitter feed and later today our team spirit of values crossed i guess discussing what role the internet place in this and other protests around the world. you know there used to be the

term armchair revolutionary they will not know there is even more widespread phenomenon which is the mousepad revolutionary. which is somebody who sitting at his computer you know in the basement with the first floor. 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 still mean it's a very seriously hundreds of thousands of people hour in the streets putting their bodies in the line secondly the idea of this. revolutionary what we can understand is that these protests are not just physical protests this symbolic protest they're about changing minds and changing ideas and some people are able to engage you know better i mean can. you watching r t live from moscow let's go back now to our breaking news story

while our team sources say it's former leader hosni mubarak is fighting for his life and is in a critical condition in hospital more this let's now cross to our correspondent paula. what more can you tell us about this. well we are receiving very conflicting reports as to the state of the former egyptian president hosni mubarak i was speaking to our contacts in cairo in the early hours of this morning monday and they said that it was often witnessing that the footage of the libyan leader moammar gadhafi on television that the former egypt and president suffered a massive attack and they told me that he had died in the early hours of this morning but those same sources and i was speaking to him just a few moments ago now say that he has not died but that he is critically ill as you can well imagine the reports at this stage are very preliminary it's difficult to get some kind of independent verification of a lot is going on but certainly something is happening at the international medical

center in clyro where cousin of our it has been since august now the same sources are telling me that there is an increased presence of egypt's security in front of the hospital that they started gathering they've already last night but the service and the police service themselves say that all these reports are not true and in fact that they say that mubarak is not even in intensive care certainly the eighty three year old former president has been suffering from clear health for quite some time already in june with his lawyers said that some had stomach cancer and that it was spreading and among the other reports we've heard is that in addition to cannes that he has hypertension he has put out blood circulation and he has heart problems there's also been reports that he's been in a coma since he went on trial earlier this year the last pictures that have been seen altho some of our it was several weeks ago when he was wheeled into that courthouse he and two of his sons are being tried for corruption and certainly in those pictures as mubarak was looking very frail indeed all right paul while we are

levels that exist ground zero however experts have told me that if i was to pick up anything from the ground even where i am here it would still be potentially dangerous due to the radiation that it would be exposed to us that's more than one point five million people were affected by the new clue to last you combine power all the explosions of this image polite instead side was equivalent to around two and a half down on hiroshima the some people are thin skinned nuclear weapons test side was the largest in the world to get an idea of just how vast it actually is it must be seen from the air affecting an area of around three hundred thousand square kilometers roughly the size of germany. stretches out further than the eye can see in every direction each square kilometer bearing the radiological scars from decades of tests of radiation emitted scarred more than just the landscape there is a huge increase in cases of cancer and serious defects amongst the local population

and the effects of these tests still being felt three generations after the first explosion all those people who live nearby who witness not first test in one nine hundred forty nine still remember the impact it had on the local population. usual if you look as i was going to the pool a powerful stream blasted right in front of me i was completely shaken and some of the others were not. in a nearby institute building we were really scared. it all over a pouring their prom castle stand while for a much more on all our are stories log on to our website r.t. dot com let's take a look at what's there for you right now another russian spy scandal this time in germany with a couple arrested on suspicion of working for russia's foreign intelligence service or two decades. to too much a sixty seven thousand dollars price tag

a consequence of that for global assets including russian assets probably we're not going to be seeing a lot of speculative capital chasing chasing global assets including google and this could be another reason why in the beginning of next year we may not see a lot of pressure on google to appreciate which is again another reason why i think that it's really difficult to find very many factors were really new reasons to be positive only occur on do books starting from the beginning of next year russia's become the world's ten fastest growing economies consultants ernst and young estimated that the pace of expansion over the past ten years russia's annual g.d.p. growth grew by five percent on average the rating is that by qatar with thirty percent growth just to compare world's largest economies like the u.s. and u.k. developed an average of around two percent as the young says emerging economies will provide the global g.d.p.
