a way is ironic i think it's fair to say the west very strongly pushing for these so-called democracies to be born i think may not play out the way they actually want to but again huge challenges ahead for libya while people here are certainly basking in the celebration of the john sees as few of them in scenes scenes are really thinking about what that means for the future of libya because of liberation are loud and clear. it looks like a state of euphoria here but everybody is happy. you know. even though there is no formal you know law and order but are they ignoring the price paid for freedom in libya some thirty thousand civilians are said to have been killed with four thousand still missing this house was one of nato's misses a single family lost five people including children during the meeting and they told joists all governments but no one sauce who is going to rebuild my house who

months of safety for the people under saddam hussein and now it's the wild west it's completely anarchist but i think the resistance will grow and let's see what happens nato is stuck in libya and cannot run in syria because of russia and china so. one can only hope who has a sense of humanity that things will improve for the libyan people the point i'm making is that in islam never has the west allowed a modern progressive and team islam islam to really develop. police in oakland california have arrested seventy five wall street protesters and torn down their tent camp in front of the city hall but he said no one was injured despite tear gas and rubber rounds being fired into the crowd the protest movement is gearing up for more global rallies this week intended to coincide with the upcoming g. twenty summit these latest protests are aimed at pressuring world leaders to introduce a so-called robin hood tax and what they say is the virtually unregulated global casino financial transactions but as artie's marina point i reports it won't be

2:11 pm
latest on all civilians in our own country was just it was you know. well i was amazed like i was in shock visiting the protesters he stood proudly to defend sergeant thomas received something of a hero's welcome in zuccotti park so yes i you know what you really you know we've been gestures of appreciation towards the green that completed combat in baghdad but just began his battle against police brutality here at home sergeant thomas a public lashing of the n.y.p.d. has more formally inspired the birth of a new group called object irene it calls on us together as a all military presence that secured an anti wall street protests and with roughly forty dollars that soldiers coming back from iraq by the years and its international grassroots movement may grow even might be. more naive artsy new york . and on our you tube channel you can find plenty of footage shot by journalists and protests is a night from the streets where activists are voicing their cause you can log onto
2:12 pm
you tube. for this the other stories we're covering for you at the moment. the news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of candor that. challenge corporation today. it used to have been a quest to pull eurozone out of its debt spiral and hit another snag several key meetings and of forming a plan have been canceled at the summit on wednesday heads of state will still meet but there's going to have a weather e.u. leaders can overcome their differences. but the chairman of the german parliament told me earlier that he said europe to get off the financial rollercoaster as soon as possible. first of all we have to see how we are going to start or create
2:13 pm
problems it is obvious that creek cannot pay back loans it stopped all it is will be there will be a certain haircut we're talking about maybe sixty percent or even more which is not decided finally yet either grace a default or this is called the so-called selective default if you're talking about is still likely to fall but banks have to agree because otherwise they don't get money and i see the euro as such is a good currency of the only problem we have is some countries in the euro zone are not really doing well they have by far too hideouts but i have the feeling each and everybody has understood that they have to change and they are on the way to change even italy is now changing and there are reforms which is necessary in order to have a smaller national debt. and as the situation in europe worsens the once formidable
2:14 pm
unity of the european union is cracking and with a wave of euro skepticism sweeping the block. showing why we should work to the age of seven to kill some two three to pay for staff ross who lives in downtown athens jury charles fifty eight we shouldn't we're not going to it's the end and you can catch that full interview with me and john gaunt as well as share your opinion on it all at our t.v. dot com on. the high court in london is to hear a case over the use of uranium enhanced weapons by u.s. led forces during the infamous iraqi battle of fallujah in two thousand and four this following a number of reports alleging their use was much more widespread than originally thought a lawyer i spoke to christopher busby who co-wrote two of those reports. we found extraordinarily high levels of cancer very high levels of birth defects and we also found a rate of change in the sex ratio in the ratio of boys to girls which appeared to
2:15 pm
begin after the battle of fallujah in two thousand and four and what we found was we looked at fifty two elements all the possible elements that could be in the hair and we found high levels of strontium and not. calcium and i would medium and various. substances but what we did find was a high level of uranium and that high level of the rain was it from from depleted uranium. pirlo this was what was surprising it was not from depleted uranium it was actually slightly enrich uranium which was fairly astonishing as far as it was not something that we really expected and it led us to believe that the. modern military systems use a whole new set of weapons i mean one suggestion is that the the the at the people using this weapon have been covering their tracks because there's been a lot of talk about repeated uranium and its effects and you can actually do natured using sophisticated instruments and so if you use slightly enriched uranium
2:16 pm
or natural uranium then you cover your tracks and then you cannot be sued afterwards when people come along and make measurements that's one possibility we did find patents which showed the existence of a whole new type of uranium weapon not like the ones that used to be used where they just fired projectiles tanks or tank battles we found patents for directed charged weapons and a new type of explosive which contains uranium proud of mixed in with explosives in order to cause a very powerful directed charge and this is this is an anti personnel weapon which which answers the other question why they would have used such a thing in fallujah because there were no tanks in fallujah and many of the ngos in the world have been busily trying to have that peta do with weapons banned and of course that that's right right they should be banned because they cause all these effects but of course then the military say well of course we didn't use depleted uranium and that inwardly laughing i guess because they've been using these new weapons which are not anti-tank weapons which are anti personnel weapons which are thermobaric weapons which caused huge pressure waves and collapsed lungs or char
2:17 pm
the victim and there's been a lot of very very peculiar injuries being discovered on northern battlefields that doctors have never seen before and quite and can't quite figure out. this is r.t. live here in moscow coming up to eighteen minutes past the hour now han russian couple let's return to our top story now concerning libya and we'll get more reaction now on the latest developments there are not too. he's an eye witness saw nato bombing in libya and he's recently returned from his hometown of sirte and joins us now live in manchester in the u.k. thanks very much indeed for being with us now nato is constantly said that avoiding civilian casualties has been its main objective in libya well from your experience they succeed. in iraq and there's about afghanistan and the most of the country is the. i mean

2:19 pm
interference of nato. the interfered in iraq. when they told those lies they told us that saddam had weapons of mass destructions but nevertheless you have let me just ask you i said many many rebels at the time said we didn't want the help of nato you want to do it ourselves are you happy with the outcome that gadhafi has gone what are your thoughts about that he's the vice yes but if the rebels do that themselves then you know agree with those didn't even the people would be martyrs but. killed so many innocent people civilians who had nothing to do with this conflict i mean if you want to start a conflict you have to finish your cell phone start and start trying to for a neutral help come my own people so i can get rid of gadhafi the death of gadhafi is going to be under investigation do you think that the actions of nato should be under investigation and your concerns will be listened to. of course of course i

elections the government panicked they panicked so much they took away a vanished willy's georgian citizenship officials did point out that he had french citizenship as well which is against george law and that he might be deported he says it's politically motivated and is appealing the decision. our government has a way of accusing people of treason the authorities violate their power and then use their position as an excuse for their actions the georgian government has also regular bank you vanish really owns amid accusations of money laundering designed and removed some of his security guards and arrested people close to him ivanishvili is famous as one of georgia's richest businessmen he's funded the building of churches and theaters and now he's funding the return of a well known georgian satirical t.v. show the show's director says he has confidence in a vanished really but he still new to politics. he's learning how to be
2:24 pm
a politician he used to be a very significant businessman but now the methods he used in his business have to be changed because he's a public politician but here that's very quickly. and he'll have to because while a banish really himself is confident he'll win the next election many around him aren't even sure if he'll be in it. it's hard to tell if it's inner ivanishvili part of george's political future or not but it's easy to see his case as a metaphor for the overall state of politics here but walking him to form a political force would be clear evidence of the democratic spirit but so often talked about in georgia it's not so often show from watson r.t. tbilisi georgia. it was time for the business here with dmitri. thanks bill investors around the world are banking on
