comes after weeks of political chaos in athens that's got its euro membership in jeopardy the greek prime minister george papandreou has agreed to step down and his replacement is due to be announced shortly the new interim government will lead the country until elections are expected to be held in february next year the government's main task was the to approve a one hundred thirty billion euro versions the rescue package that was reached between european leaders and the mass for a new government came out the top and three are called a bit ditched a bailout referendum which shocked colleagues at home and abroad later on r t a former british minister tells us that the eurozone project has long needed a reality check. problem maybe because the e.u. is based on fiction because it doesn't have political reality the whole problem with this crisis it was created by the europeans themselves because you could not have a single currency when i was a political union they knew they couldn't get away with the political views and so

they disappeared with the equivalent of las vegas and signed up with mania proposition which is to have a unified currency with no unified policy but if we're going to get rid of money. in greece you're going to have to get the price down and the sun as everything is priced in europe is that would never be possible to have. seen if i was a green i would be down. telegraph. to get out of this because what happens there still in the euro zone says it's french banks say they have. but there's still stuck with the euro. for more insight into the european debt crisis report has kept that vote mr interview in just about twenty minutes time. a week after wrapping up its intervention and pull it off the libya head of nato says it has no major role in the future of the country well that's a spike widespread allegations of crimes against humanity under the new libyan

regime and a shift towards radical islam. can ask whether the west has made a habit of turning a blind eye to the shortcomings of its allies. cheere first question leader not so long ago the us media presented leading rebels as freedom loving folks yearning for democracy after could alfie's killing the narrative changed you know you talk about this arab spring and many people you don't hear as a move towards democracy but really that's not exactly what's going on it seems the us media just woke up to the young holding human rights disaster in the region libya's new rulers are at risk of being accused of the same kind of abuses before to overthrow an al qaeda flag planted on a lady and courthouse steered quite some panic and not just that you have the interim leader coming out saying he hoped it would become an islamic state that polygamy was going to be legal again consistent with sharia law sharia law to

include punishments such as cutting off the hands of thieves the heading convicted murderers and rapists stoning to death adulterers shari'a law which is about to be introduced in libya is considered to be for the most part incompatible with democratic values especially when it comes to women's rights but many experts believe that whatever the new libyan government's domestic policies it will not stop the u.s. from making nice with them saudi arabia for instance has the most extreme form of sharia law our women are not allowed to drive cars they're not allowed to vote the crime for adultery for women is the death penalty in saudi arabia and none of this seems that bothered the powers that be in washington why because saudi arabia does the bidding of the united states in this oil rich region a dictatorship and not a democratic state america is a big l. a big supporter of sort of arabia that just shows that we really don't care for working with democracies or working with the king with secular governments or

religious governments where we care about is our interest in the region very another u.s. ally in the region it hosts america's fifth fleet and also leads on the shari'a law and as a. questionable human rights records and those in power are their only things to nido and particularly the united states the media here have generally been supportive of the campaign to topple gadhafi but now that he's gone why the sudden concern about human rights in libya maybe out of old habit so well demonstrated in the run up to the iraq war when the media cheered first and then when it was too late when the war was full on started asking questions and always say human rights in libya was never a top priority for those in washington who called the shots and threw their support behind the currently be in government i'm going to check out reporting from washington r.t. . more military controversy and world events are discussed and analyzed dot com we'll just go online and have
