health took a turn for the worse after he saw reports of the death of former levy and leader a colonel qadhafi mubarak was ousted from power in february during the arab spring revolution after thirty years of rule over bring you more from our middle east correspondent published leo later in the program it's fear the blood stained image of colonel gadhafi could herald a bloody future for libya itself the graphic food shop his demise and questions over his death continue to cause controversy now that's as levy is entering rulers rushed to call for a celebration of what they call the country's final liberation or disney so now has more from tripoli. bill 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 and whoever comes in right now the organization promising elections within

a month but the listener say that of course is not for sure thing because the population is very heavily armed even at these 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 a force to disarm the population because there are fears that first of all there could be conflict between different tribes of course 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 boots from a 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 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 it had the best in terms of license for extracting sea child mortality rates there were great social benefits there's a european 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 we're going to rush on for about six at least here in the capital not sure it's much much worse in other parts of the country there's no running water and so about certain topics they were planning to travel by choosing one of the country's main water systems which was completely destroyed and still being disputed who destroyed it whether it was nato or the jockey moralist but this is one of the problems that people will be fine. 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 really thinking about what that means for the future of libya. and he's now reporting there from tripoli jordan based professor his says

the overthrow of libya lacks legitimacy it was not evolution i mean they claimed it was evolution i have studied the revolutions. not only in this part of the world but but in history you know historically speaking this cannot be described as evolution it was some sort of a coup d'etat where you have a military coup de back by nato and actually the nato. nato actually under the pretext of helping civilians or protecting civilians waged a war against libya both the infrastructure of. the institutions and the ordinary civilians and reports say that tens of thousands of libyans were killed you 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 are not evolution i think that it's. we're always keen to know your 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 well the vast majority so far believe the country will now just say and into chaos but with you oil fields guarded by western countries while about a tan 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 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 file 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 party's daniel bush last 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 debt of greece will reach one hundred eighty one percent of g.d.p. next year and of course that's completely unsustainable banks on to the not charities that are obviously resisting these moves they say that some e.u. bureaucrats can cancel loans just like that then the world lending 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 nationals there are measures germany says that spain has taken these

spending cuts so why should the same to get their house in order also the public realm between france and germany is worrying investors france wants a bigger bailout port it's already at hundreds of billions of euros but it wants more to rescue any potential any potential failures in the eurozone and on worries that they could be more countries next whereas germany germany's angela angela merkel is well aware that her voters 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 here are saying this whole euro zone project is starting to look like a single one way flow of cash from berlin to thousand europe ordinary greeks see it differently of course they are having to put up with very difficult cuts in public services in greece. bushell reporting there from brussels all with the european debt crisis showing no signs of manning there is growing support was 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 says membership harms britain sovereignty or his full interview is coming your way next hour. you're not going to get to meet any warm words of praise from me about the european union to start mentioning so you know the kingdom we are a sovereign nation and sometimes one wonders from sovereign to boost to show most european years of history as a place to put what i showed is that britain in the same way that we very sensibly 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 to sample it all groups in the us are actively pushing for a more aggressive stance and not only against russia or he's 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 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 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 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 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 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 you rand pakistan and china he also called 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 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 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 anti wall street protesters have been arrested by police during the occupy chicago demonstrations 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 overpaid in europe asia and australia our response lucy five is keeping a close eye on the protests so follow all the updates on her twitter feed and later today our tease peter lvalues crossed out guest discussing what role the internet plays in this and other protests around the world. you know there used to be the term armchair revolutionary you will not know there is even more widespread phenomenon which is the mousepad revolutionary. which is somebody who's sitting in his computer you know probably in the basement with mom on 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 personally hundreds of thousands of people are in the streets putting their bodies in the line secondly you know i did this. revolutionary what we understand is that these protests are not just physical protests they're some process they're about changing minds and changing ideas and some people are able to engage you know better i don't mean to. you watching aren't you live from moscow let's go back now to our breaking news story while our two sources say egyptian former leader hosni mubarak is fighting for his life and is in a critical condition the hospital for more of this let's now cross to our correspondent paula sleep. 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 the footage of the libyan leader moammar gadhafi on television that the former egyptian 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 said that he has not died but that he is critically ill as you can well imagine the reports at this stage very preliminary it's difficult to get some kind of independent verification of what is going on but certainly something is happening at the international medical center in cairo where mubarak has been since august nala the same sources are telling me that there is an increased presence of security in front of the hospital that they started gathering they've already last night but the service 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 poor health for quite some time already in june his lawyer said that he had stomach cancer and that it was spreading and among the other reports we've heard is that in addition to can said he has hypertension he has put blood circulation and he has heart problems they've also been reports that he has been in a coma since he went on trial earlier this year the last pictures that has been seen of course in the bar it was several weeks ago when he was willed 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 keeping a close watch on what's happening there thanks very much indeed for bringing us the very latest policy are there reporting from the region. twenty years since cattle stan abandoned its nuclear test site from its time as
