tonight military whistleblower bradley manning says he wanted americans to know the true costs of war as he faces two decades behind bars for the biggest ever leak of u.s. state secrets. ballot bruising for britain's prime minister voters kicked his conservatives into place in the election beaten by a surging and tea party like comment on that coming up. erica's eighty five billion dollars battle americans and democrats wrestle over how to avoid massive budget cuts stoking fears of the financial impact around the world. even if you just joined us just after ten pm now here in moscow kevin zero in here

at r.t. and our top story the u.s. army whistleblower bradley manning could get twenty years in prison for what he described as an attempt to reveal that quote blood lust and disregard for human life in the american military manning pleaded guilty to ten lesser charges out of the twenty two he's facing for the biggest leak of state secrets in u.s. history it could help him escape the most serious charge of aiding the enemy though that carries a life sentence america's andrew plague was in the courtroom. they spent over one thousand days of detainment since he was first picked up in may two thousand and ten and charged with for releasing all this material and since then he's had to undergo so much just completely agree just treatment nonetheless yesterday there he was is a small man only five foot two you know one hundred and some odd pounds sitting very calm very collectively very cool right in front of the judge and read it thirty five page statement pretty much owning up to every single that the government has accused him of for the last three years and it was people expected

him to go ahead and plead guilty but the way in which he actually honored what he did himself in the way that he actually still to this day is ok with with releasing information and is aware of the significance i think really shows this was someone who had committed to doing something and was aware aware of the repercussions and is ok with that in the press room there was a couple dozen of us gathered yesterday just after around noon local time when p.f.c. manning finished reading his thirty five page statement he turned his microphone off down testifying and a handful of members of the press gallery actually journalists began applauding it was something that people had waited for a long time to keep him on the only other time we've ever heard p.f.c. manning speak at length is when he spent hours discussing the treatment that he injured in a military brig in quantico something that the united nations special rabbits or on torture completely completely condemned so i guess today though here he was

actually speaking speaking very truthfully and with power about what he did and why he did it and i think that resonated with a lot of people it became something not just a trial about someone who is convicted of the of spot accused of spying and subjected to torture but the trial of someone who was actually aware that things needed to change and he thought he might be able to actually do that by blowing the whistle on who's going to been closely following brother monies code since his arrest she says into whether the house conditions of his detention may have driven him to plead guilty. it sure has been a rough ride since bradley manning was arrested in may two thousand and ten for the first ten months of his incarceration the former army intelligence analyst was held in solitary confinement for twenty three hours a day in a six by eight foot cell windowless cell forced to sleep naked without bed sheets and kept on suicide watch during that time hundreds of scholars experts human

rights advocates as well were signing petitions and letters to have him released from what was dubbed draconian conditions essentially called torture many critics would argue that manning was essentially forced into pleading guilty on ten charges because of the conditions he has been held in by the u.s. government but at the end of the day when manning stood up and owned up to what he did he still made no apologies for it and some of the comments he said was that he wanted to his intention was to start a public debate within the us about america's foreign policy how us was behaving that was his intention are releasing classified information he said he believed the u.s. reputation would not be damaged by the u.s. but it said in essence be embarrassed he also believed that americans had the right to know true cost of war he went on and on and made lots of comments as you mentioned thirty five page statement he read but at the end of the day he did

explain what he did why he did it and from what i've been told and read about he is minos apologies for his behavior and for his actions. well bradley manning's police statement contains some pretty powerful words which are being picked up by many around the world here are some of the most striking extracts from what he said to say come up on the screen just now he commented on the infamous video from iraq we've just seen showing journalist and children attacked by an american helicopter crew he was said he said he was sickened by the bloodlust and said they were like children torturing ounces you can see on the glass that with a magnifying glass martin also believes that revealing all this to the american public could spark debate on the u.s. military and foreign policy in general he said he was trying to push society to reconsider counterterrorism operations which neglect the human aspect this is how he described the actions of the u.s. military said we were obsessed with capturing and killing human targets on lists

and ignoring goals and missions there were some of his words where someone who knows what it's like to take on a government by blowing the whistle on wrongdoing is former m i five agent annie masha and she told us manning has done the people a great service at least of those who struggle to reveal the truth behind u.s. helicopter attacks in iraq. for years the families of the victims both the morrises journalists and the traumatized iraqi families pushed the pentagon to find out what had happened in must attack and then can live for years saying that there was no video they couldn't answer they didn't know what had happened so by exposing this bradley manning gave closure gave peace gave answers to these traumatized families that's been lied to repeatedly by the pentagon i think it's also interesting one other aspect around this is that he tried to get information to other mainstream media outlets begin with the washington post the new york times and the politico web site and he was dismissed and in fact in the washington post said that if this

was if they were going to follow this information that would need to be vetted there's a senior level i.e. suppressed so what we're seeing is the old model did not respond to this amazingly brave push toward transparency to inform the american people what he's done in the name so he went to wiki leaks and i think that shows very clearly the role he plays it is a publisher of sensitive information and i publishing such sensitive information it allows the citizens of the globe to realize what is done by government and to hold their government to account and to try and push for justice just as the value the families of the dead iraqis and reuters journalists have been pushing for justice so this is an amazing service he's done to people. and him a short while human rights activists proclaim bradley manning a hero prosecutors of course going all out to prove that al qaeda benefited from access to the data what do you think well have a look at the r.t. dot com poll ask you to take part in tonight we're asking what you think about

bradley manning this this is what you're telling us half of you it's gone up a tad from last i was forty nine percent less than this think he's been made a scapegoat of the war games will still blows thirty four percent see him as a martyr to the cause of free speech nine percent of you think he's just a naive idealist that's one percent more than the previous hour as well seven percent agree with the prosecutors that he's guilty of high treason you can stick around that figure seventy percent all night tonight still a chance to have your say though we all love to hear from you r.t. dot com to let us know what you think if you haven't done so yet.

britain's voters have dealt prime minister david cameron a serious blow his governing coalition conservative party's been shunted back to a poor third in a key by election there the u.k. independence party surged into second place meantime while the beleaguered liberal democrats held on to the seat despite it becoming vacant because one of their former cabinet ministers had to quit over driving a friend scandal as for ukip it is the third time then they've come second in a by election the main parties dismiss it as a protest vote but analysts say the group stance on quitting the e.u. and immigration does have some genuine traction with voters needed nigel farage told us you can't sing creasing popularity means they'll soon be able to influence mainstream politics i think there is a feeling i share it that we now are run by a political class of people they all go to the same schools they all go to the same oxford colleges they all take the same degrees they all marry each other sisters i think it unlikely that we're going to the biggest party in westminster in twenty

fifteen but what we could well do is we could well catalyze some sort of realignment of british politics was we draw votes from across the spectrum it is pretty clear to me that the conservative party is now going through i think just just about as deep as crisis in history there are two distinct wings of the conservative party they don't agree with each other on virtually anything i think if you keep it gets much stronger than it is today we could see something really new and really quite exciting. well the worst news for the party the supposedly leading nationally labor came disappointing fourth one of its m.p.g. i recall the joins us now live from london jeremy good evening chief ukip message seems to be resonating with voters doesn't it i mean what is it drawing the public to this new party with this face and if there is such a stringent stance on key issues. well you keep doesn't actually offer very many answers to anybody except sort of general narrative of empty europe and to foreign

and. anti every other power they did better than labor's something is a. indeed so consentual see that labor has not won for a very long time and i think one should be quite cautious about ukip and what it offers and what it could achieve but this is clearly a very very bad result for the conservative party and the government. labor could have done better and one hopes we would have done. concerned however the way in which you can't run it's campaigns in the kind of appeal that you keep house which is a very narrow very xenophobic one which is hardly in keeping with the needs of the modern world as well if being in the e.u. is bothering your voters maybe at least just eastley so much what kind of decisive action do you think should be taken on it. well i think the

issue is that. the economic problems of. britain are brought about by the process brought about by the lack of economic growth and brought about by cuts in public expenditure and freezing of wages what we need is investment in the economy investment capital projects to investment in public services like the u.k. conservatives offer any of that labor does to some extent i wish it did far more. those early areas that i think are going to resonate with people otherwise what we see is a very unpleasant turning again as is happening in many european countries elections at the present time turning into nationalist parties like ukip who offer very little other than attacking migration into our societies in when the reality is that migration to britain has brought about a lot of the economic growth that we've had in the past are very enterprising and

very hardworking people and we live in a very multicultural world and we should glory in that not see that as a problem or a threat and i hope that there will be a change and we will stand up against ukip and what its what it says ok let's focus a little bit on the e.u. issue whether to be in it whether to be not as far as the u.k. is concerned prime minister cameron's promises in a referendum on the twenty fifteen your labor party leader leader david miliband said he wouldn't what would you do the. i have very many criticisms of the european union in particular the way in which the european central bank operates in the way in which it imposes market solutions on economies the way it doesn't support welfare states and i want to see a europe that's based on social cohesion and social stability not sleep our of the european central bank but that is a left or alternatively like what david cameron is toying with is a very right wing alternative of playing into euclid's hands by stopping all

internal european migration into britain because primary immigration is actually quite small it's usually by a strong family unit as much as anything else and there is of course a free movement of workers anywhere within the twenty seven member states what ukip and david cameron should think about for a minute if we're going to start preventing people moving to britain as part of a european migration the most going to happen if other european countries decide to say that all those hundreds of thousands if not millions of british people living all over europe are going to be forced to go home this is really a very bad step and a very bad direction in which people are facing at the present with one final quick maybe personal thought from you we've mentioned already that labor came forced into too well i mean your party still leads in the national polls it's going to be. what does this so let's try again this is a million david cameron at the ballot box in this byelection mean more to you than

your own party the poor showing. well what it shows is that the conservatives cannot defeat the liberal democrats in areas where it's a contest between the liberal democrats and the tories whether has been an election battle between labor and the lib dems or labor and the conservatives then it's labor that's picking up a lot of support so what it does point to is probably a growth in ukip support largely at the expense of the conservatives and in areas that may well be inclined to vote labor liberal democrats coming over saliva so it actually could well be a sign of a labor victory in the general election of two thousand and fifteen. which way to seeing paid breath u.k. labor m.p. jeremy corbyn thank you for your time. thank you so had for you stand by america the cuts the decision makers on capitol hill have failed to agree on how to stave off eighty five billion dollars of cuts which will start

a few hours what's that going to mean for americans the rest of us. and tonight a court rules that u.s. prosecutors don't have to share their evidence. tradition for internet piracy. this was the pros. he had good reason to trust. his body was found on the floor of his huge. natural causes. the mystery of. going to see.

a look at america's staring at eighty five billion dollars worth of cuts in the next few hours after politicians on both sides have failed to breakthrough in last

ditch talks the sequester as it's known will mean a big reduction in military and domestic spending got a teacher can explain is know why this could prove a worldwide headache. let me begin with where the sequester comes from for a long time congress has been in gridlock over what to cut paralyzed but everybody knows spending cuts are absolutely necessary to balance the budget at some point washington came to conclusion that only ineptness fear of crisis they can solve something so they manufactured the crisis not the first time by the way they're actually getting into the habit of doing that the previous one was the fiscal cliff two months ago now it's the sequester let's see who may soon pay for washington's self scaring tactics nationwide seven hundred fifty thousand jobs are on the line the thing about automatic cuts is that agencies and departments don't get to decide what to put on the cutting board it's supposed to cut the defense funding by ten percent now a lot of people think that the pentagon's humongous budget does need some serious trimming until now congress has been generally reluctant to do that and the

pentagon's budget only grew but the sequester doesn't care what to cut so it's going to cut that around support programs and other things that are going to hurt thousands of people in the military the cuts could also lead to the closing of hundreds of air control towers making it harder for planes to take off and land and reduce the number of border patrol agents would lead to delays at the ports of entry among other things also six hundred thousand women will lose assistance from the government's women infants and children program as a result of cuts to federal spending on local education ten thousand teachers and eight thousand other staff could lose their job again nationwide than this one the fact each and every state no except in no exception excuse me just a few examples and i don't know if they kentucky eleven thousand civilians working for the pentagon are facing possible unpaid leave their state of illinois we can take would see a half a billion dollars in cuts to spending for law enforcement and crime prevention. in

virginia ninety thousand civilian defense the department employees would also be for a law. and it's not just the states it's no breaking news that we now live in a very interconnected world and that this manufactured storm created on capitol hill will most certainly cause ripples across the globe the i.m.f. confirms that they're saying there will be an impact on global growth economy start talking about how vulnerable european markets are one economist is writing this could further delay the european recovery recovery just long enough for something to go wrong in one country and send europe into a severe contraction and that would have a backlash in the us pretty powerful for an artificial crisis the sequester may be a manufactured crisis but a very because deficit problem is not it is very real the country is running a huge deficit washington keeps spending and borrowing but fails to balance the budget and economists say that could have serious long term effects on the global

economy in washington i'm going to check out well before the president said the u.s. can get through the deep budget cuts but admitted life's going to get tougher because of this richard wolfe told me the american people should prepare for the worst. republicans and democrats alike are committed to an austerity policy as we do in see it in europe their only disagreement is exactly who gets cut whose axes get raised and i'm very pessimistic as are most observers in washington that we are about to do what britain italy greece have done with the same dire consequences looming in our future if you cut government spending as we're about to do if you raise taxes on average people which we did on january first with the rise in the payroll tax those are a double whammy two hits on our economy they depress the economy they lose people

jobs they make people cut back in their spending with less jobs and less spending government tax revenues go down and that the races whatever benefit you might have imagined would comment on the government's budget the irony is the economy gets worse and the government budget gets worse until they wake up and realize that this is an inappropriate way to go at a time of economic crisis let's remember the budget deficit of the government took off in two thousand and seven and eight which is because we had a crisis if you solve the deficit without dealing with the under lying prices it will not work russia's taking over the monthlong presidency the u.n. security council the country's envoy to the world body told me about moscow's plans for its time to change. it's looking like a very crowded month of march the highlight of our presidency is going to be a ministerial debate on afghanistan the mandate of the u.n.

mission in afghanistan is going to be extended for another year and that of course is going to be very important for afghanistan with the upcoming presidential elections in april of two thousand and fourteen also of course the big important decision or talks to be had about what to do with syria next a big schism amongst a very she remembers about what is the best thing to do how is russia going to try and bring people together than over the next month our position is very simple we believe that the violence must stop and for that dialogue must be established without precondition and the government to saying that there were outlined for their negotiating team and their outline their proposals for dialogue unfortunately in the past few days the opposition seems to have been backtracking from the original statement which was made by the leader of the national coalition as to what the about readiness to go into dialogue with the syrian government this is the key issue without dialogue i'm afraid and without the political will on the part of all syrians all the main stakeholders in that country the international community

can do much of course the syrian opposition very much in the news again today they've been promised more lethal help from the u.s. if that's the case where's the lethal support coming from do you think what russia is her view on the united states for a number of reasons chooses not to sally's hands with direct supply of weapons to to the armed groups because among them there are some terrorists and others with whom the united states would prefer not to be associated but at the same time they they give a wink and a nod to those who provide direct military aid to. rebel armed groups like to talk for a moment about the latest in iran no still sir no significant breakthrough of course in those talks in kazakstan iran said they were. in some ways positive but the general consensus was not a lot was done the talks further talks were agreed what are your thoughts about that six brought new proposals to the table with active participation of russia in

the process was anything radically new in those we know in kazakhstan. well you know. not really a radical new but there are some new important elements which should make it more attractive for the iranians to finally enter into negotiations on the core of the matter and i can let you know the full interview with the un envoy vitaly churkin r.t. dot com our words website also online as well we're talking about the cancer concern now for japan i guess no surprise so it coming now the world health organization says the fukushima nuclear disaster could say seventy percent increase in young girls developing fire oid complications you can read up on my mother also online to the investigations ramped up with whether former french leader nicolas sarkozy was illegally bankrolled by libya's moammar gadhafi before being part of a push to oust him. or get a matters online online entrepreneur kim dotcom is

a step closer to being extradited in the united states from new zealand peel court has overturned the ruling indeed that would have allowed him and three co-defendants brought access to evidence against them for the massive copyright to dot coms mega upload file sharing website with the extradition hearing set for august dot com says he can't be held accountable for other people using a site to illegally download songs and films his lawyers plan to appeal to new zealand supreme court which could further perspire on the extradition hearing now but earlier dot com told us that online freedom is completely at the mercy of governments. what i have learned since i got dragged into this case is a lot about privacy abuses about the government spying on people they're not spying on individuals based on a warrant anymore they just spy on everybody permanently all the time and what that means for you and anybody is if you are ever

a target of any kind of investigation or someone has a political agenda against you or a prosecutor doesn't like you or put the police wants to interpret something in a way to get you in trouble they can use all that data to go through it with the with the comb and find the things even though we think of nothing to hide and done nothing wrong right now that we are living very close to this vision of george all and i think it's not the right way you know it's a wrong path that the government's on thinking that they can spy on everybody. so it was new stories for us at ten twenty seven moscow time first to iraq there are two deadly blasts struck a crowded livestock market five people died in the bombings which happen to the shia dominated city in the south no one has admitted the attacks a day of violence on thursday so a series of explosions targeting shiite neighborhoods killed at least twenty two people there's been a worrying rise in sectarian violence in iraq in recent weeks and there are fears

it could descend into a civil conflict going with this a decade ago u.s. led invasion. angry crowds are formed have started new delhi hospital where a seven year old girl was treated after she was raped at school and stole police vehicles while the man in the suspect's face justice to teachers and the security guard are being questioned over attacking the child intense protests over sexual violence against women and girls has grown since that deadly gang rape of a student last december. south korean peace protesters have gathered in front of the u.s. embassy in seoul they're demanding an end to the country's joint military exercises which started on friday war games always still deep anger in north korea which has called the drills proof of american all civility it's also vowing quote miserable destruction if the two countries do go ahead although the threats never been acted upon before. activists and tourists of all the times to destroy the longest remaining section of the berlin wall property developers have permission to tear it

down and build a luxury apartment block but police were forced to hold the demolition of the twenty three metre long segment protesters stormed the site to try and save what's left of the war which has become a focus of germany's national heritage. coming up to have passed turn that moscow time natasha's here thanks for being with r.t. tonight were you watching us ok first all the talk going to this year fiscal cliff just about avoided put off again pushed along but now tonight those big cuts a looming absolutely well as of last year will officially entered the air of permanent fiscal paul. see crisis in the united states so essentially a way of cutting the budget which was part of of waiting raising the debt ceiling that in turn was part of avoiding the fiscal cliff on new year's day so it's all related it was again as usual it's pushed to the wire a bit of hope some of it may be some deal could be brokered but the talks you absolutely it's over so all the details helping you make sense of all of this in

the business bulletin just after the storm already you. we speak your language i mean some of the will not advance. the program says documentary some spanish what matters to you. but what will turn it to angola's stories. here. altie spanish to find out more visit actuality tito is calm. mission free. education free. or charge free. range

three. three. three. old free board video for your media project c.e.o. don carty dot com. thirty one minutes past the hour here in moscow you're watching business on r.t. with me now the shi'ites go welcome to the program as the so-called sequester deadline inevitably approaches threatening u.s. economic recovery president barack obama on friday met with congressional leaders to try and avert the eighty five billion dollar automatic federal budget cuts well that didn't work there was no last minute deal so the cuts will start on midnight saturday but the political drama in washington aside the cuts will have real consequences for average americans military education environmental programs and

social search. buses are all going to lose and that's nothing new that any budget spending cut results in slower growth so will we see increasingly scary had lines out of the united states going forward that's the question i asked craig earl i'm an analyst at party ltd in london. initially we are going to see those headlines especially given the fact that it's been built into such a big deal by the politicians by the fact that you've got the democrats and republicans. bottling it out against each other trying to place the blame for the sequester on the policy a thing that's going to build the headlines and i'm going to create these scary headlines in the short term in the longer term i don't really see it having too much of an impact in particular on the markets if we take a look at the fiscal cliff at the end the last year if we were we went over the cliff we would have knocked around four percent of g.d.p. in this year alone now if we take a look at the sequester that's only expect this to knock around no point five

percent of u.s. g.d.p. this year so by comparison it's much smaller and therefore think in the longer term it's not going to be as big an issue but i do think initially we are going to see those much scarier headlines but purely driven by the fact that i think the politicians have built this to be a big a bigger deal than it really is but all that political drama and washington aside the u.s. national national debt is topping seventeen trillion dollars so the question is is it really possible to. you know to to prove this situation short to medium term considering the fact i think they've got it difficult they've got a real difficult road ahead you've got to the you've got to have that balance of growth but also deficit reduction like you say the u.s. national debt and i was seventeen trillion dollars but at the same time we need to continue that growth of expecting growth of just above two percent this year that's much lower than we became of course than seen in the u.s. it's a pretty two thousand and eight so it's all trying to find that balance you can't

have one and they completely ignore the all that's what we've seen so far that's why the national that's got so high and not balance is what they're really struggling with at the moment i don't think the finding that balance sheet and don't think we're going to find it in the short term thing is still going to be a lot more emphasis on growth at least for the next year or so and i think we're going to continue to see the national debt creep higher think going to see the debt ceiling raised again in may and probably again later on this year. and while they're looking for that balance. some economists say that young americans especially but americans in general they become increasingly cynical and increasingly pessimistic about their future essentially saying that they're not going to live nearly as well as their parents and their grandparents and that this trend is actually spreading to europe would you agree with that. throws i think your probably a step ahead or you have to do is take a look at greece and spain and see that youth unemployment is a full fifty percent i mean that's an incredibly high number and it is going to take its toll on these young people's careers in the future so i think they're

actually already have stuff people are already very cynical they're already very pessimistic in the eurozone so i think really i think it's more the u.s. cuts you know with the eurozone and the eurozone actually cutting it with the u.s. at the moment while there is certainly an issue in the u.s. and the more we start to see these spending cuts and more we start to see the see this this fiscal deficit surely try to try to overcome this fiscal deficit to reduce the fiscal deficit i think we are going to see exacerbated even further while the united states delivers the self-inflicted blow to its economy the emerging markets can hardly feel unharmed they will see the ripple effects from the sequester related cuts that's according to william will send a senior research of emerging markets a school of business school in moscow he explained how well hurt russia. anything that slows down the u.s. economy in the next year or two has to slow down the global economy including emerging markets now the biggest impact on russia would be the impact visa v.

energy prices because the u.s. is still importing twelve million barrels of oil each and every day so that demand slows down you're going to see a drop in global energy prices and that's how that's the way it would have the biggest impact on russia's economy. and let's see what's going on in the markets on wall street where trade is active this hour the stocks are actually moving sideways the indices are staying in the positive territory there are two conflicting issues on investors' mind the federal spending cuts on the one hand and better than expected manufacturing consumer confidence data on the other now year of closed mixed on friday on disappointing manufacturing data and record high unemployment the footsie actually managed to and up above the line gaining about a quarter percent there with service sector companies leading the way the dax closed in the red now moving on to the currencies the euro dipped below one

thirty two a dollar on friday for the first time in two months again weak manufacturing stats and rising unemployment here in russia as you can see right there the ruble ended mixed through the currency basket at last to the dollar but gained to the european currency now here in moscow the indices in the season ended the week's last trading session in the red losing one point six and just under one percent respectively less not surprising oil prices dropped and europe was down well cali m.t.s. ross telecom they perform better than the market machel a new attack with the biggest losers down around three percent each. b.p. chief robert dudley may join the board of russia's biggest oil company rosneft in fact the world's biggest since it will over come the current number one exxon mobil once it completes its fifty five billion dollar merger with b.p. b.p.

will get to seats on rosneft sward after increasing its stake in the company to just under twenty percent and that was part of the deal to sell its stake and b.p. dudley is the former chief of g.m. k b b but he chose to leave russia in two thousand and eight and in an escalating scandal with russian partners are. those who have been to moscow know that it's one of the most expensive cities in the world but now we know why it's the world's billionaire capital almost eighty people from the short list of the worlds of britches say they live in the russian capital new york is a close second with seventy billionaires there and hong kong is number three you just fifty four billionaires just fifty four london comes fifth just behind beijing . and that's all the latest from the business team in just

a couple of minutes r t speaks with libyan interim prime minister about the future of this and battled country. you know how sometimes you see a story and it seems so. you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought. i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture.

good lover tour. was able to build a most sophisticated robot which fortunately doesn't give a darn about anything tim's mission to teach me the creation of why you should care about humans and. this is why you should care only dog call. me speak old language. call programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on. reporting from the world's hot spots the v.o.i.p. interviews for intriguing stories for you to. see then try. to find out more because it.

gave. would you really be an politician former high ranking official with a cut off a garment and also the former leader of the libyan revolutionary council in two thousand and eleven it's great to have you again with r.t. sir true. libya has made progress after the revolution and problem into elections were held your party won by your party the national forces alliance but then the

constitution yet has to be drafted and country remains still much under control of the revolutionary groups and militias who you tell us who holds power right now in libya well. power and in the future since trysts with the with the body and with the government you know but realistically speaking who holds power of who holds guns you know so in this sense so there is. this because to me between the poet and an official podium hopefully you know with the with the progress that we are doing right now with those developments that some sort of compatibility between the two be complete struck libya is probably the only example of the arab spring country that was able to pick up its economy after the revolution if you look at the other countries that underwent the arab spring we get the sense that instead of prosperity they got rather insecurity wife.

well first of all libya did not pick up its economy its economy did not pick up only the oil production was resumed you know. it's a pity you know because the. foreign countries you know. rushed into libya immediately know to start pumping oil again because it's connected to their way of life to their economies you know while the rest of the projects all over the country are still intact there are still as they were left in the seventeenth of february you know so. if it was not for this drop of oil it libya would be in the same situation like egypt and tunisia today you know so it's always not the libyan economy in general i think libya because of this oil was the subject of being targeted by too many countries because.
