as many libyans are celebrate the countries have declared liberation questions remain over whether the price they've paid in the form of lost lives and ruin infrastructure has been too high. critical condition are two sources say egypt's foreign leader hosni mubarak is fighting for his life following his reported shock could seeing images of colonel gadhafi step. on the search for a solution to the used debt crisis to the summit in brussels brings of no breakthrough in the u.k. there are growing calls to leave the bloc altogether the parliament prepares so vote on whether to hold a referendum on the beach. and in business this hour movie is rating agency has cut its forecast for russia's banking system from stable to negative we'll have more on that in our business course i think that's.

a very warm welcome for you this is are you live from moscow with me. it was a blood stained m.h. which marks the end of the old regime but which some fear also in sort of the future the graphic footage of colonel gadhafi capture and questions over his death continue to cause controversy libya's interim rulers rushed to call for a celebration of what they call the country's final liberation and he said now it now has more from tripoli. people celebrating across the country as the official so-called liberation was announced on sunday celebrations vary widely here in the council the belief and very few people we go out and what they want now from the end to see whatever comes in right now the organization promising elections within eighteen months but the listener say that of course is not just for sure thing because the population is very heavily armed and even at 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 fears that first of all there could be conflict between different tribes across the country i meant 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 let's not forget that pre-board 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 crack that expectancy child mortality rates there were great social benefits and you're

in 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 from our lives at least here in the capital and i'm sure it's much much worse i know there are parts of the country there's no running water and it's about starting to happen so they were 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 working jockey while was but this is one of the problems that people will be facing in those days people are celebrating in just a full of elation that exactly 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. starting to use in our reporting right i want to remember you can keep track of more reports from many coming out from the libyan capital online by following our twitter feed and her latest up posts right here you can see she's twitter tweeted pictures of a five year old boy who's living next door to a nato mistake

a tripoli street shattered by times i do follow us on the underscored home to get the very latest for us. it's all i mean time by george bass professor. says the overthrow of khadafi in libya lacks legitimacy it was not that evolution i mean they claimed it was that evolution and i have studied the revolutions. not only in this part of the world but in history and study please speaking this cannot be described as that of dilution for some sort of a coup de tat where you have the military coup de back by nato and there actually the nato or. nato actually under the pretext of helping civilians or protecting civilians waged a war against libya both the infrastructure of the state of the institutions and the ordinary civilians and courts 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. i think they're messing up. we always are keen to know your opinion on the top stories we're covering here about see if we could i would see you our website and see dot com and we're asking you what's the ultimate reason behind get up in his death and bring out your numbers right now here's what you're saying the vast majority believe is that he's dead because he could have exposed dirty dealings in libya by western governments and corporations and a fifteen percent think nato has run out of money for more aerial strikes an equal amount say he was killed because many n.c.c. members were his former subordinates eighty percent believe could offer us the blame for the hatred that many libyans had for him going to come to get involved cast your vote. sources say that egypt's former leader hosni mubarak is fighting for his life and his and a critical condition in hospital it's believed mubarak's health it's ok for the

worse after he saw the reports of the death of former libyan leader. mubarak was ousted from power in february during the arab spring thirty years of rule the middle east correspondent paula has details. 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 off the thing 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 said that he has not died but that he is critically ill as you can well imagine that a close to the states 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 cairo where close mubarak has been since august and now all of these same

sources are telling me that there is an increased presence of security in strength of the hospital that they started gathering they really last night but the service the police service themselves said it will use the courts 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 cancer 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 the brain thom trial earlier this year. the supporters here or not of course will be following our story closely on air and online and we'll be updating you on every development as soon as we come. well still to come for you this hour here on r t who's undermining the reset in russia u.s. relations we look at why despite the white house's official course some in

washington are going out of their way to do an improvement in ties with moscow. plus we visit what was once the world's largest nuclear test site in kazakhstan which still bears the scars of its atomic legacy that is why the program's closure some twenty years ago. 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 that fierce exchange happened when the british prime minister said that all e.u. leaders should be involved in final talks on finding an economic solution but a french president said that he was sick of cameron trying to influence the eurozone despite not being a part of it to its value bushell has more on the crisis talks from brussels. the e.u. leaders are putting pressure on to cancel on their huge loans to greece and they

are huge the latest news is that the national greece will reach one hundred eighty one percent or g.d.p. next year and of course completely unsustainable banks and so they're not charities so they're obviously resisting these moves and they say that if you bureaucrats can . just like that then the market will simply draw 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 national measures germany says that spain has taken these spending cuts so why shouldn't italy do the same to get their house in order also the probably between france and germany is worrying in france want a big. it's already at hundreds of billions of euros but it wants more. intentional any potential failures in the eurozone and. they could be more

countries next whereas germany germany's angela angela merkel is well aware that her voters and 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. officials here are saying this whole eurozone project is the thing to look like a single one way flow of cash from berlin to cells in europe. differently of course they are having to put up with very difficult cuts in public services in greece. he's done it with your reporting right there what i with a european debt crisis showing no sign of ending a 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. u.k. conservative party m.p. patrick mercer says that membership harms britain's sovereignty is a full interview is coming your way next hour here on our say. you're lucky to get

any any word warm words of praise for me about the european union is that the kingdom we are a sovereign nation sometimes one wonders what sovereignty will still show was the european rules of history as a place to what i owed is that britain in the same way that we very sensibly stayed out of membership of the euro itself and i hope that we could send you to be skeptical about authors revolve the. you with r.t. live from moscow now the white house says that 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 r.t. if you can take a look at the reasons behind the hawkish mood in washington. the cold war is long

over but now 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 and her russian stand points i ranging interview for them and paying for their trips and dinners one of those reportedly wooed by the lobby called henri and strategists is the only it's named allie leak 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 late he never responded could 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 one still actively rooted for the war in iraq then she was an age to senator john mccain well known for his hawkish foreign policy views senator mccain never concealed his desire to see russian leaders overthrow and not just russia dictators all over the world including bashar assad maybe even mr putin. and maybe some chinese and 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 number of think tanks they have a law i have magazines they have newspapers to push this idea of the supremacy of the united states washington has never been shorter for mongers the most visible one these days is the republican presidential candidate mitt romney he has already . leaver tough words to the likes of you brain pakistan and china you 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 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 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 both countries involved i'm going to check our reporting from washington our team start on a quarter past the hour here in moscow at least one hundred protesters have been arrested by police during the occupy chicago demonstration arrested for refusing to leave a city park comes two days. after dozens of people were arrested in new york it's

been over a month now since the protests against cats and corporate greed erupted in the u.s. so instead of people in europe asia and australia i'll correspondent lucy cuff in office keeping a close eye on the protests so you can follow her up at so as you can see right here on her twitter feed and in about fifteen minutes time people of elena's cross told guests discuss what role the internet plays in this and other protests around the world. you know there used to be the term armchair revolutionary in the world that now there is even more widespread phenomenon which is that the mousepad revolutionary. which is somebody who's sitting in these computer you know probably in the basement with the first floor. thinks that he's actively engaged revolutionary struggle when all you're doing is tweeting about it and i've been somewhat guilty of that i still let me disagree pressley hundreds of thousands of people are in the streets reading that bodies in the know and secondly.

revolutionary what we can understand these protests are not just physical presence that's the process they're about changing minds and changing ideas and some people are able to engage you know better i don't mean to. cross swords coming your way in about fifteen minutes time here and i see now twenty years since kazakhstan abandoned its nuclear test site from its time as a soviet republic by the country's 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 from kazakhstan oxys patroller reports. over more than forty years around five hundred nuclear tests took place right here on the comeback step one hundred sixteen of those taking place above ground including the testing of the first soviet hydrogen bomb now ground zero for

those tests is just behind me over there now that's around two kilometers away here is as close as it is safe to get to the high radiation 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 is being exposed to work faster. than one point five million people were affected by the new clue to last you combine car all the explosions at the summit a lot instead science was a clue into round two and a half down the russian must the some people are thin skinned nuclear weapons test site 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 scans from

decades of tests radiation emitted scored more than just the landscape there was a huge increase in cases of cancer and serious defects amongst the local population the effects of these tests still being felt three generations after the first explosion all those people who live nearby who witnessed that first test in one nine hundred forty nine still remember the impact it had on the local population. yeah sure but as i was going to the pool store to see a powerful stream blasted right in front of me i was completely shaken and some of the others were not sober all windows were in a nearby institute building we were really scared. and critical of the reporting problem kazik start well so much more and all of our stories are simply no longer c dot com also one for you right now yet another

russian spy scandal this time in germany a couple arrested on suspicion of working for russia's foreign intelligence service for two decades. plus too much of a sixty seven thousand dollars price tag is put on a ticket for the bolshoi theater and opens next week after years of republican and i get the full story on our website. well at twenty minutes past the hour here in moscow during a visit to pakistan u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton has demanded that the country steps up its fight against insurgents but artie's military analyst you're going to things that america should put a stop to lecturing others and rather try to cooperate and confront. the trademark

of u.s. foreign policy when it comes to pakistan and afghanistan is to do more of this see and expect different results if it were otherwise then u.s. secretary of state would rather refrain from the same least during remarks these are pakistan on her way from kabul to islamabad the airborne general currently the cia chief director petraeus will whisper into hillary clinton hears him about the fact that he's absolutely counterproductive in effect discreetly all for her that washington should apologize to islamabad for the old its negative legacy and only went in after pakistan will accept american apologies for all what he did to pakistan actually against pakistan both of them
