week eurozone leaders agreed to radar of the greek debt and had more loans in exchange for more austerity measures. your financial advisor our own welcome alex smith says if the greeks vote against the bailout deal it signaled the end of euro zone. this may will finally bring it to a head i think the europeans have been patching things up and patching things up and it's now getting to the crunch point and the deal that was reached last thursday was was a nothing deal really because it doesn't address the fundamental issues that there is too much in the sovereign debt in the u. and it's unsustainable in my view the best the best option for the greeks is to default of course that there is much bigger financial consequences for the for the rest of europe and for the rest of the world if that happens but if we're talking about what is in the best interest of the greek people then then then as probably the best outcome if a truly great defaults then you have to look at who actually owns the debt and
2:06 am
that's principally owned. by other sovereigns by the e.u. and by the banks and pension funds and the consequences of that is that it would make the financial system the banking system much less stable and the worry is of the snowball effect and how it would create the banks and then other european sovereigns and whether that would then lead to further defaults and a number of sovereign defaults at the same time on our web site r.t. dot com we're asking what you think lies behind a prime minister's surprise decision to hold a referendum on the belo deal here's how things fall right now almost forty percent think the greek here has made. there say about a third think the movie is just populism ain't it quelling protests the rest would about evenly between whether the decision is a knife in the e.u. is bad or a pop at great risk looking for a pathway to an honorable retirement. with greece already netted deep in

i was president assad i would rather worry about living here in stages in because the inspectors which into iraq three years on still on i'm told that one of the tasks was president was trying. to sense installations in iraq and that and making sure the physicians with my second thought is this is the labors of syria still hills on this lens the golan has both comes a large nuclear armory. and the with things to deliver that is over some thousands of miles this is ironic we should be talking about syria when the israeli nuclear armory has never been inspected. turning now to libya where newly inactive prime minister says protecting human rights would be the top of the government's agenda but his statement is in contrast to activists claims that n.p.c. fighters are terrorizing displaced residents of

a coastal town most loyal to gadhafi fred abrahams with human rights watch says current atrocities are being downplayed by the libyan government and some nato countries. but in some places the violence is quite bad the town we looked out in was called told and the militias from the neighboring town of misrata are terrorizing the people of to where they accuse them of having fought for khadafy and you know the problem here is that the militias are not under the control of the political authorities the civilian authorities and vats the big challenge for libya going forward is bringing the many militias under a unified civilian command the problem is that the money militias hundreds of militias sometimes from just a neighborhood have many weapons now and they say look we fought we lost comrades in this battle and now we want to have a steak a seat at the table and bringing them under control will be difficult there's
2:10 am
definitely a trend to say we did the right thing meaning nato governments they want to say that this was a successful operation so there is a tendency to downplay the conflicts and the tensions now but at the same time in our discussions with them of some of these governments they're taking them very seriously because they know that this will cause problems in the future they want them addressed now trying to support the more open minded and democratic minded forces within the new authorities and move libya in the right direction so there is concern and i think that the governments are nervous about this these tensions the revenge and they're trying to take steps to to quell it. as libya and the wider region undergo drastic change or he will continue examining the role of foreign intervention in the arab spring. yeah. i can. take.
