it is eight am in the russian capital you're watching r t with me arena joshie welcome to the program warm greetings and a royal bank rate in the opulent surroundings of buckingham palace britain as well and truly rolled out the red carpet for barack obama designed to affirm the so-called special relationship between the two nations all eyes remain on longdon for the second day of the u.s. president's state visit which will see talks on middle east violence that's amid increasing calls for obama and british pm david cameron to overcome their addiction to war games. all smiles and handshakes as the u.k. and the u.s. take their special relationship to the next level washington's preparing to open up its highly secretive national security council to london as the two countries pledged to deal jointly with perceived security and foreign policy challenges but at what cost to the rest of the world i don't think it will change foreign policy

in any dramatic way remember that britain already shares a huge amount of intelligence with the united states in fact britain's nuclear deterrent can actually want a nuclear missile on its own so in fact what is happening today is largely symbolic the special relationship phrase was a deeply tested one. blair was in power and his relationship to bush was seen in britain to be much more one of approval rather than a partner and yes in a sense it will be sky's and popular was. not everyone welcomes president obama's presence in the u.k. a range of groups are using it as an opportunity to demonstrate against what they see as the anglo-saxon machine and islamist fringe organizations linked aggressive foreign policy led by the us in the u.k. supported variously by france and other nato allies with terror attacks there's

a war ticket prices since i last until they leave the sob supporting the dictators it was the countries torturing us supporting the parts that his role. model violence. the u.s. and u.k. have been involved in two major wars in the last ten years in both iraq and afghanistan america persuaded britain to come in with them reinforcing britain's reputation as the us is lap dog. but this time it's different in libya it's pretty and taking the lead in nato with the us keen to keep its role to a minimum the deepening of cooperation between the two is something this group could demonstrate is a very imminently objects to these are the cars go to the starting. three major we was the turn yes those good news for those of us who want

peace in the world to see the street cars corporate and more closely true affairs outside buckingham palace where obama is staying these protesters are trying to persuade him and british prime minister cameron to stop waging war in foreign lands so far it hasn't worked on cheese day obama and cameron were united in their intention to increase pressure on colonel gadhafi in libya was business and this demonstration needs to escalates its involvement in the war in libya france's says it will deploy helicopters bringing fighting closer to the grounds of the global war machine grumbles though with the alliance of london and washington in the engine room and this new agreements to cool information and resources may only adds fuel to the fire your average aleksey. meanwhile in libya nato is keeping up its been garment of the capital tripoli launching its heaviest attack there

since the start of the military intervention state t.v. says the multiple air strikes including one uncurled penelope's compound killed nine hundred people and injured one hundred fifty others friends britain and the united states played a leading role in initiating the military action in libya however the us has since taken a step back leaving its allies particularly the u.k. mired in a war and now stuck in stalemate in williams of a new york based foreign policy in focus think tank says britain is once again acting as america's servants in a war was low. well public support. it seems to be a part of britain acting as the sort of the mercenaries for the united states and the u.s. is pulling no no because it's opposed to what nato is doing there it's to limit the domestic fallout for the obama presidency that's why it's pulling its forces out and also because i think wisely it realizes that it's standing in the middle east

is bad and can only get worse with this continuing. it is one of the changing signs that has america gets weaker commercially and militarily relatively speaking europe could exert itself a little more of it ever got its act together one of the reasons it can get its act together is because of this lavish relationship between the u.k. and the u.s. more stories to come for you this hour here in our team at about ten minutes time we travel to russia's republic of dagestan for a rare quaintance. this path leads to man who how to walk through three centuries was funny his biography and its possible terms of the development of the country's history people come to visit and talk to him and today madonna and has agreed to share some of his secrets to a long line with us here. in georgia thousands of opposition supporters have forecasts that against the government for four days straight they are demanding an end to state sanctioned corruption and the resignation of president saakashvili

speaking before of the u.s. congress the israeli pm benjamin netanyahu announced peace with palestine wasn't an option unless israel keeps the occupied territories the address caused out for among palestinians who decry the speech as propaganda riddled with lies and as far as he's closely reports it's certain to add tension to get another battle ground between the two sides. the israeli palestinian conflict has reached an unlikely new field of battle where there are no borders and no generals calling the shots there is north. except checking or a committee or something like that there is no chief editor or or anything like that which is why we keep pedia an online encyclopedia as one of the world's most

popular websites with sixteen million entries open for anyone to edit rewrite or even raise the most popular of those pages the middle east there is an article i think practically about any village a palestinian village that was destroyed during the. war is really the independence war and there are i think articles about any military operation any side launched during the history of the conflict but both israelis and palestinians complain their side of the story is not properly covered propaganda is putting a label on israel and calling us apartheid state we fight by bringing the actual facts were israel is the most progressive democracy in the middle east and for that matter the only democracy in the middle east and that's why i'm after these you should cancel that represents the israeli settler movement has been organizing workshops to teach people how to post where vies and even rewrite some of the most disputed pages online there's disagreement on terminology such as the word

occupation history of what happened in certain conflicts even the names of certain cities and towns what we do is we monitor our various media outlets and what we see for example that a certain media cause israel and apartheid when we send our people to engage in discussion and to give the facts but the palestinians have a list of people to send in which is why the battlefield is not equal according to our blood our not so who heads the association of palestinian journalists he says he wishes he had the kind of cash the israelis had trained. to brush up on the knowledge of we could pedia later i think people should stick to the truth and not try to learn how to put their point of view in a wiki pedia article i mean if you have sources just bring them on. but these were completely experts say it has nothing to do with training and everything to do with the truth i think people should stick to the truth and not try to learn how to put of their point of view you know it could be an article i mean if you have sources

just bring them on but in this war every bush of ammunition counts it's no secret that the revolutions the sweeping the arab world found the support online hundreds of thousands of people signed up on a facebook page calling for third palestinian uprising or intifada that page has since been closed down for inciting violence but the fight online continues policy our team. despite washington's intensified after it's to bring the palestinians and israelis to the negotiating table the two sides find themselves no closer to a resolution artist peter lavelle and his guests discuss what it why take to achieve the long awaited and elusive peace process this coming your way later today . you have to understand palestinians see all of israel also as part of their patrimonial own land and you nine hundred forty seven forty eight when israel was created palestinians were at least three quarters majority now when they

recognize israel in its sixty seven borders they gave up seventy eight percent of what they regard as their country it is the mother of all compromises and i think to ignore that and to to look at the occupied territories in isolation from the rest of mandatory problems so i don't see oprah or israel's being asked to give up this is very important territory that so dear to us ignores what palestinians have already agreed to. take. they international monetary fund is currently searching for a new managing director following last week's resignation of dominic strauss kahn over a sex scandal france's finance minister christine lagarde tops the list of contenders however the fastest growing economies in the world also known as the drakes countries are calling for

a non european and critics say they are the man certainly has grounds. this is an important first step we may not see its fruit of this round we don't we wanted us to these countries really organizing a successful coalition to block the western europe. in this round but going forward this could be a sign of things to the car not just in terms of. institutions after all the real decisions are often made elsewhere not by the head but in the g seven finance ministers. in the actual possibly russia and brazil are countries there suffered tremendously under i.m.f. pasties and children one thousand nine hundred ninety when they went through crises much like the crises they do greece is going to and they eventually pulled out of the i.m.f. framework temporarily suffer tremendously but they're. both countries that are

restoration of growth so these are countries that if it actually repudiated the it place of the international monetary fund and. their natural leaders for a move against these. now three years from the u.s. financial meltdown nobody in the stoutest man or a banking industry has a blame for it and i actually spoke to a prominent investigative journalist to find out if this leaves the door open to a new crisis. if you could literally describe the relationship between wall street and washington in one sentence really what would that it's completely commingled. it's. it's a revolving door of interests where. people on wall street are either directly effect sponsoring the politicians in washington with campaign contributions and soft money and that sort of thing or else they are actually politicians wall street

heavily sponsors both the republican and the democratic parties so automatically no matter who becomes the front running candidate for the presidency is going to be a creature of wall street look at barack obama who i personally admired or on during his campaign of two thousand and eight but if you look at his his record goldman sachs was his number one private campaign contributor. and he was born in the world was a different place and that's not surprising when you consider it was three centuries ago still going strong today i just went to meet the man who is staking a claim to be the oldest person on the planet. the revolution the russian civil war the birth and out of the soviet union even two world wars this man has in them all because he claims to be one hundred twenty one
