the british government faces a revolt by anti european m.p.'s if you want to alter the trouble the e.u. summit in brussels degenerate into a soviet union's ongoing crisis. libya's a new rulers order an investigation into colonel gadhafi is death and promise to introduce islamic law and build a democracy on the ruins of a once prosperous nation. the health of egypt's former leader hosni mubarak is shrouded in sources suggest a heart attack just left him in a critical condition in the meantime though his lawyers deny these claims. and plug wiki leaks suspends its whistleblower cornered by american financial institutions refusing to accept donations be a credit card and founder of vowels to fight the blockade. and russia's markets and the first day of the week on the strong notes with the r.t.s. up three and a half percent following a report of the e.u.'s bailout problems been expanded to one really in europe it's

more another twenty but it's not so. with r.t. live from moscow i'm wrong reception and welcome to the program the british parliament is preparing to vote on whether to hold a referendum on its continued membership of the european union the debate was forced after more than one hundred thousand people signed a petition demanding to have a say and the vote won't be binding perino said david cameron is a staunch supporter of the e.u. and faces a rebellion in his own party some sixty conservative m.p.'s are defying government orders and will support the idea of a nationwide referendum cameron the dissenting tories to reconsider saying this is a delicate time for the e.u. from. more perspective on the road we are joined by robert all chairman of the

foreign policy group. i thank you for joining us today so there is a sense that britain's got all it wanted from the e.u. and now that it appears the good times are over some in britain want to leave what's what's your take on war the u. is an enormous cost or to both british taxpayers and the british economy it's really a millstone around the neck of this country british taxpayers have to pay billions to the you each year british businesses have burdened by excessively you vaguely lation and really we want to have a say in our own country again the you understand the u.k.'s democracy because e.u. law has suprema c. over national law and most new laws are made by the institutions of the european union based in brussels that is one william power should be returned to people that we've actually elected in this country and the british people want a referendum to return those powers what about what about virtual the benefits of

staying with the e.u. would you leave all about just behind for the sake of calling yourself independent we've where we've experienced massive trade benefits between even members free movement across the e.u. access to cheap credit is it really all just doom and gloom. trade with the european union we can continue with whether we're members of it or not. switzerland is not a member of the european union yet that trades with other businesses and people within the e.u. norway isn't a member of the european union yet that still trades mexico has a free trade agreement with the european union but that doesn't snow not done by brussels the united states exports more to the euro zone than the u.k. does yet they're not in the european union you don't have to be in the european union to trade with it and of course leaving would give us an advantage we wouldn't have to be paying the european union billions each year we'd be better off out of the european union and the british people know that and want their chance to have a referendum which they were originally promised by all three political parties so

as you as you say leaving the european union would benefit the british taxpayer but you know the british public is always a lot of little euro uproar going back to when the e.u. attempted to regulate the shape of bananas and the euro skeptics accusing it of banning straight bananas isn't this possibly much of the same fear mongering going on here. now what put it is about it's about politicians keeping their promises to liberal democrats how to policy their part the liberal democrats are part of the coalition government they had a policy of having an out referendum they now whipping their m.p.'s to vote against that referendum david cameron gave haven't see that he would hold a referendum on the lisbon treaty he's been a bit on that now whipping his m.p.'s to vote against there being a referendum of the election david cameron said there should be a very patchy asian of powers from colossal to democratic institutions that westminster part of the vote today in the house of commons is to have a referendum to be patched powers david cameron is now whipping the m.p.'s to vote

against what was conservative party policy quite recently that is bizarre the british public know that and good demanding their referendum and opinion polls show that british people most british people want their say you talk about an issue of the powers here obviously you're concerned about the e.u. interference in sovereign british affairs but in reality just how many e.u. laws were actually passed without british approval well e.u. law takes precedence over national law and there are literally thousands of e.u. laws passed each year the unknown is directives and regulations and they take precedence over national law and national law must apply them and they're binding on all member states that is undemocratic because the people passing these laws in brussels haven't been elected they're not accountable to the national governments or the people of their member states rather that he's not white and it's time that powers and democracy was returned to national democratic institutions. although

chairman of the foreign policy of the richest group thank you very much indeed for your time thank you. and i jewel ferrars meantime m.e.p. from the u.k. independence party as well i believe they're far from being a uniting force and the e.u. is quickly becoming a catalyst for conflict between members. but i want to europe where we cooperate together work together and sign agreements together not a europe where we hand over the ability to make those decisions to a group of unelected bureaucrats and on the argument of peace which now the e.u. supporters of pull them back on because all their other arguments frankly have failed look what kept the peace in europe are that i mean forty five was not the e.u. they didn't come along for many many years what kept the peace was late example of states cooperate together and i would also argue the fact that we have a nuclear deterrent and history shows you that if you take away from people their

democracy their ability to govern themselves if you corral them together into new states without their consent far from it leaving the peace the question now in a deep recession i wouldn't one of the seventeen year high is not can we afford to leave the it's how we have fought to stay the whole eurozone project is that what it's done far from bringing people closer together it's pushed people further apart not just for sarkozy really to cameron we now have the greeks abusing the germans they now bernie you flags in athens openly with swastikas drawn on them and we have the germans slagging off the greeks as being lazy and useless and the irony of this project is far from us all becoming friends together in this new european house actually we're beginning to argue and bicker in the most extraordinary way you can all take twenty seven different countries with twenty one different languages all

with their own different histories and different forms of government you cannot take them and force them into one unitary form of government without first getting their approval that approval has never been given and the european project actually is dying as we look at it and we may take many years just as the soviet union dead but it's dying as we look at it because right across europe voters are saying we don't want this model we reject. we would not say it's good to have your company today still to come in the program here. and there was. america is not destined to be one of several equally balanced global powers america must lead the world to report on why some forces in washington are eager to bring back the days of the cold war. libya's new leaders have ordered an investigation into the death of former leader moammar gadhafi following mounting international pressure libyans erupted in celebration after the announcement their country had been

completely liberated but there are plenty of questions over the cost of what they now call freedom in our ports. 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 out of the what they want now from the end to seeing whatever comes in right now the organization promising the elections within eight months but the listener say that of course is not just 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 of course to disarm the population because there are fears that first of all there will 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 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 there are tremendous challenges 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 back expectancy child mortality rates there were great social benefits and there were in style health care programs 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 not sure it's most much worse i know other 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 i water systems which was completely destroyed

and still being disputed who destroyed it whether it was nato or the dock he was but this is. one of the problems that people will be facing and then in terms of the actual political situation 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. state that the weight easy all the political life in the country because towards real war this is something that experts were afraid of that they were analyzing the country without a doubt he is going to take a much more hard line islamic direction. and he said he's in iraq that will do grandma and you can keep track of and so in the libyan capital just by taking a look at her going twitter feed in the latest post as we can see right here no one on the streets tweeted pictures of residential areas in tripoli just shattered by nato bombs also keen to know your opinion on our top story here let's look at the

votes on our side for the now the vast majority believe he's he's dead because he could have exposed dirty dealings in libya by western governments and corporations seventeen percent think nato just ran out of money for more airstrikes almost a tenth believe could be is to blame for the hatred that many libyans already had from him in the first place others say he was killed because many n.c.c. members were his former subordinates if you wouldn't mind i log on to r.t. dot com make sure you cast your vote. for more on the implications of colonel gadhafi as death and what lies ahead in libya i'm now joined live by berlin based middle east and north africa expert dr steinberg i thank you very much for coming on the program today our online vote suggests the majority of our viewers think because nothing was killed because he knew too much is this the case in your opinion what info body have taken to the grave. no i don't think i i think that they just very difficult to understand who killed him and what

was the reason we know definitely that he was alive when he was captured and i think it was due to the it was a chaos which surrounded the scene that somebody had killed him and i do not think that this was all that by the transitional government but nevertheless of course there may be groups of people who may be instrumental the mystery of. it that the personal political reasons in order to instigate chaos after the demise of the leader now libya's our current leadership has many say caved in to international pressure and now ordered an investigation into gadhafi his death i mean how do you think is going to play out the believe anyone at any time will be held accountable for his death no i don't think so but certainly there will be sort of an investigation and it is his own tribe. who

insists that that sort of investigation takes place but even if the circumstances i just have outlined i'm very very doubtful that it will lead to any concrete and substantial. results in order to put anybody on trial now libya's interim leader has a promise to build a democracy with a full scale implementation of sharia law they all they even compatible. yes they are i mean what we understand you're normally in europe by. the way in saudi arabia but that is not the case syria is a very flexible instrument i think the reason for which the leader announced that the implementation of it was not in order to go back to the middle east maybe a this but in order to find out some sort of identity of the future political

system and societal system in libya there isn't any and that he has left a complete vacuum and there's no national feeling piers no personality there is no charismatic leader so it's not. which my feel the gap but once more he has something to be interpreted to be analyzed and so i think that it might well . need to look at the. enlightened form and then make a law on one hand and the democracy on the other if i may just jump in for a moment here a human rights watch has accused revolutionary forces in libya of acting above the law to be a parent discovery of a mass grave of more than fifty executed khadafi and or lists do you think these people will be able to restore law and order there are still a lot of tribal factions involved. yes that's right but this is different from the issue we just have discussed the issue of. sharia sharia is something in the long

range in order to be the new political system but the immediate threat as you rightly said is it's an imminent. threat that there might be people or groups who take revenge who find it useful to continue the struggle and there have been many people around gadhafi up to the very last moment and it may be the group and these people who might have been interested to continue to go ahead fighting fighting for power and creating all sorts of instability the middle east and north africa. back many things. are speculation surrounds the health of egypt's former leader hosni mubarak there are reports he's in hospital fighting for his life after suffering a heart attack but his lawyer denies those claims are his middle east correspondent paula has details on this. the official word from the hospital bed is looking after

the former egyptian president hosni mubarak is that he is suffering from heart problems that there has been an increase in his blood pressure but nothing more serious than that now since august the international medical center has both looked off the mubarak north that kept him there was a prisoner there fishel word is that despite rumors he has not been moved into intensive care and i mention rumors because there are certainly a lot of members circulating in the privately owned egyptian newspaper here has quoted hospital staff and you say that his heart stopped beating fourth you say this coincide with are the remains we've heard that he was clinically did there was another newspaper the five newspaper that went so far as to publish on its web site that he had died they have since retracted those statements but they quote hospital staff who say that last week he contracted a virus that virus if it spreads to his brain would eat away of brain cells and is a very serious situation for the four major action president out is speaking also

is on the ground in cairo and they say that since late last night there's been a lot of movement in front of the hospital but overheard hospital stopped talking amongst themselves that he has been moved into intensive care and that the situation now is very very critical as you can well imagine it's very difficult to determine right now what is the real situation in terms of mubarak's health we're also hearing reports that it was when he saw pictures on television in terms of what happened to his friend one of the duffy libya who got such a shock from those pictures that that triggered this latest reaction we all know egypt's president has been plagued by poor health for many years in june this year his lawyer said that he had stomach cancer and that it was now spreading i spoke to by the way a short time ago he now says that we're going to health is fine but certainly we know that he has high blood pressure there's been reports of hypertension there was a report of a heart attack earlier this year so the state of mubarak's health will continue to

be a hot issue for some time to come. right there now are you with r.t. live from moscow the internet whistleblower wiki leaks is suspending operations to focus on fund raising instead its founder julian assange speaking at a news conference in london said that a financial blockade imposed by american financial institutions has cut off most of the websites funding these other bennett was at the conference. the main announcement is that wiki leaks who will be suspending its publication and will instead will be aggressively fundraising so you can get back online as it were this is obviously a significant announcement i can't say it's that unexpected because of this financial blockade. revealed in that press conference that ninety five percent of their fund raising has dried up since that blockade came into force early december this is the funds getting through stop the stop donations and they've been running on cash reserves in just run out of time really until that ran out in the companies

involved so people like visa master card pay pal bank of america and that all financial blockade all happened about a week or so after what's being referred to as cable gate when wiki leaks released all those. secret cables from u.s. embassies in the diplomatic service julian signs that he's calling this as a u.s. base concerted political attack and it's not from the government though they have actually deemed this to be without any lawful grounds as has the u.n. high commissioner for human rights he says he's condemned the blockade instead says it's being carried out by a politicized u.s. financial companies how they have actually received legal action they've opened. action in a number of countries where they have publication deals iceland denmark the u.k. the e.u. us australia as well they've also lodged a complaint with the european commission a decision on that is due in mid november as to whether visa has broken any rules here but until that there's really nothing they can do because they've simply run

out of money. from london where the julian assange himself is also what legal pressure is waiting for a british court to decide whether he should be extradited to sweden to face sex crime charges if you support it some fear that assad will then face extradition to the u.s. to stand trial over his website's activities and we're keeping a close watch on the whole story for you and you can catch up with the latest on our web site of course article dot com. but twenty one minutes past the hour here in moscow russian american ties have improved greatly since barack obama took power and at least that's washington's official rhetoric but there are also political groups in the united states that are pushing for aggressive moves and not only towards russia sees

a guy naked you can now find out what's stirring the hawk's nest. the cold war is long over but not 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 journalists to adopt distinct and her russian standpoints i ranging interview with them and paying for their trips and dinners none of those were imported me wooed by the lobby called the orient strategy 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 us 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 the leak 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 if washington hocks the head of orient was in each two former defense secretary ronald rumsfeld actively rooted for the war in iraq then he was a nice 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 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 they're paid work through they have. think tanks they have a lot. magazines they have newspapers to push this idea of the supremacy of the united states washington has never been short of who are mongers the most visible

one of these days is the republican presidential candidate mitt romney he already has. leaver tough words to the likes of ukraine 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 the united states must 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 russia where tensions are being ramped up the same people are doing a lot of fear mongering against countries like china and iran and 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 our team. joins us now.

thanks rory moody's has cut its forecast for russia's banking system from stable to negative and he's going to cause or has found out what's putting the country's lenders on the pressure. this is pretty much a domino effect old war is going on the globally he says the group economic outlook internationally and the high volatility of financial markets will weaken the operating environment in russia and they have and make it's a fact and that's the banking sector and what they mean by that is ever duction in liquidity in the system as well as growth rates of lending and the g.d.p. the estimate for two thousand and twelve is now two point eight percent which is a drop of one percent from previous forecasts and more and nothing a big factor is of course russia's economic growth depending a mainly on oil prices and the say that due to increasing risks to global energy

demand there is now more pressure than ever and while moody's also says a negative factor will be felt on asset quality and the credit growth but some analysts here believe that europe will solve this problem soon which will spur growth back onto world markets and they also point out that the russian the banking sector is a quite that much stronger european debt issues and is in a good position financially they also say that russian banks are ample opportunity to attract liquidity and maintain financial stability internal and external resources well and the other factor that i can and five all these opinions is a wednesday's meeting and euro point leaders will be looking for a plan to solve that crisis and a boost growth so it's safe to say that this is a not the last time the crystal ball gazing will be over. a cycle of what's happening on the markets this sell oil prices are heading up off the european views life progress in the plan. the single currency the prices talk the german

opposition lawmakers indeed say e.u. bailout fund will be leveraged up to one point or really involves a one trillion euros in london the footsies of a percent the dax up on. four percent under the gas those reading the gains are almost seventy percent u.s. market itself also opened causative on the news coming from europe and on positive counts of poet profits dow jones up all the time this hour and this is the closing picture in russia where the markets continued their rally sending out three and a half percent second to was was moving the my sexual majors with some of the biggest gainers was now gaining four percent at the close no snicko up one percent on reporting higher nickel production and retailers seven confident was adding almost twelve percent of the close off to releasing an impressive boost in the first half net profits that's all we have time for in this edition of the business news coming up next hour to have a. mission
