it is i just after five pm on monday here in moscow this is with me real research showing libya's new leaders have ordered a probe into the death of former leader moammar gadhafi it's following mounting international calls for an investigation this has libyans erupted in celebration after the announcement that the country had been completely liberated but there are plenty of questions over the cost of what they now call freedom and he said now it costs. but 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 mainly when you go i'm asked them what they want now from the end to see and whoever comes in right now the organization promising elections within
9:02 am
a nonstop analysis say that of course is not just for sure thing because the population is very heavily armed even at the celebrations although there were lots of games and things for the kids to do there is 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 again this fight for feeding in benghazi earlier this year that there will be a power struggle between them and most of those 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 there are tremendous challenges 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 life inspect

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 tells you how running water is going to rush on fire at least here in the capital i'm sure it's much much worse in other parts of the country there's no running water and sponsoring topics they were fighting stop will choose 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 was that this is. one of the problems that people will be facing and then in terms of the actual political situation here and like i said elections promise in eight months but that of course is not for sure and we just had this announcement from the head of the m.t.c. saying that the weight easy the political life of the country because towards a real law and this is something that experts were afraid of that they were
9:04 am
analyzing the country without gadhafi is going to take a much more hard line islamic direction. and he said now i write that role do you bear in mind you can always keep track of any say in the libyan capital just by taking a look at twitter feed on line in her latest posts we can see here she's tweeted pictures of residential areas in tripoli just shattered by nato bombs we're also keen to know your opinion on this story here today on our web site we are asking you what's the ultimate reason behind khadafi to death let's take a look at the numbers right now the vast majority believe he's dead because he could have exposed dirty dealings in libya by western governments and corporations seventeen percent think nato just run out of money for more airstrikes almost ten believe khadafi is to blame for the hatred many libyans have for him in the first place others say he was killed because many n.c.c. members whereas former subordinates look on to want to talk if you will cost.

but i still to come to the program here on the hawking their works. america is not destined to be one of several equally balanced global powers america must lead the world we are poor and wise some of forces in washington are eager to bring back the days of the cold. wind up last wave echoing is through time as we visit a nuclear test site where the human cost of hundreds of explosions is felt even decades after the project closed. and with r.t. live from moscow it's good to have you with us today much heralded summit in brussels has failed again to come up with a solution to the e.u. spiraling that crisis but it has succeeded in creating a new divisions among leaders and the growing splits exploded to the surface when french president nicolas sarkozy lashed out at the british prime minister david
9:06 am
cameron saying that he was sick of the u.k.'s criticism and interference that amid rumors that private investors have been told by the e.u. they could lose half the money they have injected into greece germany and france however well to prevent the continent's troubles from sparking a new global financial meltdown and according to your over felt editor in chief of belgium's leading trends that business magazines say there's more at stake here than just saving big. and pretty much on the line so that this part of this is specially of french president nicolas sarkozy because a lot of what we have been doing in the eurozone to save the monetary union depends on the triple what we call the aaa countries and germany and france being the two most important ones and now france as if anybody knows is on the verge of losing its true a rating now if that happens that means automatically that mr sarkozy can forget about being reelected as a french president and i think it's nervousness as
9:07 am
a lot to do with the issue on the one hand losing his triple a jeopardizes his chances for a second term on the other hand if he does what is necessary to keep the aaa rating he will just as well jeopardize his chances because then he will have to cut expenses in order to get the budgetary situation in france and make under control so i think the vicious remark you were he made to me through two words mr cameron has a lot of do with his own nervousness about these own situation in france. and this is r.t. with europe's debt crisis raging its once for middle unity is set for a test later today the british parliament will vote on whether to hold a referendum over the possibility of leaving the e.u. or speaking to r.t. u.k. conservative party m.p. patrick mercer justifies the vote saying edu membership harms britain's sovereignty

a very serious situation at school the former egyptian president now i have been speaking to our sources in cairo and they tell me that since last night there has been a lot of movement in front of the hospital that the security there was beefed up they overheard hospital scott saying that he was critical as you can well imagine these rumors are flying fast and furious and it's very difficult to determine exactly what is the state of the form rejection leda at eighty three years old he has been plagued by poor health for quite some time in june this year with his lawyer said that he had stomach cancer and that it was spreading i spoke to that lawyer a short time ago he has something that mubarak's health is fine but still we know that there were reports that he suffered a heart attack earlier this year of these reports now of poor blood circulation reports of cancer so certainly the health of mubarak will remain a hot issue for now. authors of middle east correspondent of course we're live in tel aviv thank you. internet whistleblower website which leaks is suspending

9:16 am
told me that they buy. america's vast 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 of the. united states most exercise military supremacy and have an end with this 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 we'll push the reset button with russia this whole lobby and growing industry said well no that's bad because. as much as he is and i think he's completely. for you this is. good for american weapons we're quite.
