as president obama pledges with his british counterpart to increase pressure on the libyan leader there's a growing opinion that defensive tandem has changed too often by only increasing conflict so it's. thousands of georgian protesters across harder for president saakashvili to resign as many in the country struggle with abject poverty and corruption. the war in the middle east moves from the front line into online as palestinians and israelis clash over facts on which.

it's just after two pm here in moscow you with art see a very warm welcome to well a warm greeting a royal a banquet in the opulent surroundings of buckingham palace britain has well and truly rolled out the red carpet for barack obama designed to affirm the so-called special relationship between the two nations but all eyes remain on london for the second day of a high profile visit as the u.s. leader and its british counterpart get down to official business conflicts in the middle east and afghanistan are expected to feature in some increasing calls for both obama and david cameron to overcome their addiction to war games parties a lot of reports of. 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 i remember that britain already shares a huge amount. of intelligence with the united states in fact britain's nuclear deterrent can actually launch a nuclear missile on its own so in fact what is happening today is largely symbolic the special relationship phrase was deeply tested one. blair was in power and his relationship was seen in britain to be much more one of a rather than a partner and yes in a sense it will disguise and. 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 terrorist attacks there's a war taking place against some of the since al unless and until they lead they stop supporting the dictators it was in countries that's not torturing us so opposing the current state of israel. by those you know. 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 of demonstrators of payment objects to these are cars. starting if you have to to look at. three major wars in ten years those good

three partners for those of us who want peace in the world to see those two cars cooperating more closely. 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. and this demonstration come as nato escalates its involvement in the war in libya france's that it will deploy helicopters bringing fighting closer to the ground the global war machine rumbles on with the alliance of london and washington in the engine room and this new agreements to cool information and resources may only add fuel to the fire your average r.t. . campaign in libya the u.s.

has taken a step back from the military action leaving its allies particularly the u.k. maya williams of the new york based foreign policy in focus think tank america chose britain as the best servant so obama can prepare for the next presidential elections. it seems to be a pattern no britain acting as the sort of the mercenaries for the united states and the u.s. is pulling out not 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 badman can only get worse with this continuing. it is one of the changing signs that as america gets weaker commercially a military relatively speaking europe could exert itself a little more of it ever got its act together one of the reasons it can't get its act together is because of this relationship between the u.k. and the u.s.

. and i mean time in libya nato is keeping up it's been by point of the capital tripoli launching its heaviest since the start of the military intervention stating he says that multiple airstrikes in the coding one on his compound killed nineteen and injured one hundred fifty others meanwhile the u.s. has invited the rebels' transitional council to open a washington office asking a new step towards recognizing them as the country's official representatives. well you always are seeing a lot more stories to come for you in about an hour or so and about ten minutes we travel to russia the republic of data stored for a rare acquaintance. this often leads to a man from how the world since the same trees was standing his biography and it is possible in terms of the development of the country's history people come to visit and talk to him and his name again has agreed to share some of his secrets to

a long line with us to. our attention to george orwell thousands of opposition supporters have protested against the government for four days straight but in order to state sanctioned corruption and the resignation of president mikhail saakashvili they are accused of abusing his position to maintain power. all the details from streets. nancy government is continuing that the station's cooling the president is back in. town you can be the person. listening to this is being held by. the democrats. the people's assembly now what we saw at the beginning of the case of the weekend with thousands of them is faith is putting out some people calling it the still the revolution there was an older generation of people who felt that they were really struggling at fighting the fight. and the opposition party. they call it

on seven krasik authoritarian system now we've come together and what they said was that they were planning when they did big it's a range but they bowed out president saakashvili now we see with the demonstration this undercurrents of disorganization if when the opposition party says that to the time and is not knowing yet when the again going to come together what we do know is the protests this is certainly seems to not have been killed by the message that they sense and as he said things have turned out great. ahead of the day even the fun is. taking to the military parade that will be taking place on freedoms. now on our web site of course us all if you got more on the developing situation to georgia. friends of protests there building. president saakashvili pictures

on how the georgian authorities are searching the street cameras and of course get the latest updates and follow us on our twitter page comes out on the school. ten minutes past the hour here of moscow now speaking before the u.s. congress the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and outs that peace with palestine wasn't an option unless israel keeps the occupied territories interest cost out uproar among palestinians who decry the speech as propaganda riddled with

allies and artie's policy reports it's sad but add tension to get another battleground 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 and online encyclopedia is 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 and middle east there is an article i think practically about any village or palestinian village that was destroyed during the one hundred forty eight war is really the independence war and there are i think articles about any military operation that 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 that by bringing in the actual facts where israel is the most progressive the mucker see in the middle east and for that matter the only democracy in the middle east and that's why not to. yes a console that represents the israeli settler movement has been organizing workshops to teach people how to post advise and even we want some of the most disputed pages online there's disagreement around terminology such as the word occupation and 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 calls israel in apartheid's the then we send our people to engage in discussion and to give the facts but the palestinians have less people to send in which is why the battlefield is not equal according to abbott are not so who

heads the association of palestinian journalists he says he wishes he had the kind of cash the israelis have to train palestinians to brush up on their knowledge of we can. expect when the israeli palestinian conflict will be forced on the pages of wikipedia the israelis control the online media they control words like terrorist islamic jihad we trainers and finance we can immediately interpret wiki pedia as well. but these were competing 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 their point of view you know we can give you an article i mean if you have sources just bring them on but in this war every push of ammunition counts it's no secret that the revolutions sweeping the arab world found their support online hundreds of thousands of people signed up on a facebook page calling for third palestinian uprising or into florida that page

has since been closed down for inciting violence but the fight online continues policy r.t. . despite washington's intensified efforts to bring the palestinians and israelis back to the negotiating table the two sides find themselves no closer to a resolution. and his guests discuss what it might take to achieve the long awaited and elusive peace course walkers are coming your way just a little bit later today. you have to understand palestinians see all of israel also as part of their patrimonial and in one 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 in so poor israel's being to give up this very

important territory that so dear to us ignores what palestinians already agreed to . and you can watch krause talking about an hour and a quarter from now well france's finance minister christine lagarde has thrown her hat into the ring in the race to take over as head of the international monetary fund it follows last week's resignation of dominic strauss kahn over a sex scandal however the fastest growing economies in the world also known as the brics countries are calling for a non european to take over the post but critics say they don't mind it certainly has grounds this is an important first step we may not see it through this round we don't and we really were a successful coalition to block the western europe you know in this round but going

forward this could be a sign of things to come out not just in terms of who nominally decent to she's after real decisions are often made elsewhere not by ed but in the g seven finance ministers. in the actual post russia and brazil are countries there suffered tremendously under i.m.f. pasties children ninety eight ninety ninety s. when they went through crises much like the. greece is going through today and they eventually pulled out of the i.m.f. framework it separately suffered tremendously but then both countries had a restoration of of growth so these are country said if it actually repudiated the advice of the international monetary fund and still there are natural leaders for

a movement against these boxes you will guard see now three years since the u.s. financial meltdown nobody in the establishment or banking industry has stood trial being away and he spoke to an investigative journalist to find out if this leaves the door open for a new crisis and watch the whole interview in the next hour. if you could literally describe the relationship between wall street and washington in one sentence really what would its 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 but i personally admired her 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. tried that if he was coming away about fifteen minutes well when he was born of the world was a different place but that's not surprising when you consider it was the nineteenth century that he's made in a culture that i went to meet them and he was staking a claim to be the oldest person on the planet and the up tool for revolution in the russian civil war the birth of the soviet union even two world wars this man has seen them all because he claims to be one hundred twenty one years old. says he's the oldest person living in russia and perhaps across the globe people come to visit and talk to him and his name again and has agreed to share some of his secrets to

a long life with us too. despite only humble surroundings as his neighborhood has provided him with a lax air of life. i eat only what i raise myself i drink milk and the milk products vegetables from my garden all my life i was a former i worked a lot with buffaloes and horses hard work is good for you. while his body may not be as number as it once was his soul remains strong and determined all his life his strictly followed all religious traditions he prays five times a day and does all the proper ations himself. the official information that we could find a bug grammy a dates back to the nine hundred sixty s. when he moved to get his done in these documents it is that he was born in eighty ninety and there's also a database about him and his family however the rust of the archive to prove his

behalf in life was destroyed in a fire in the nine hundred thirty is in change now where he was born recently the title the all just living person was awarded by the guinness book of records through a brazilian woman a mighty ago mr lane tim who is one hundred fourteen years old with mohammed family remains under turds and wants to see him crowned with the title this is a form we have thought is an application for guinness book of records we all thought of family relief you truly deserves a record of ninety nine percent of claims about people being one hundred fifteen or over are said to be fools and documentable the guinness book of records as applicants must have a original proof of birth issued within twenty years of that birth and prove that the person alive today is the same person in their original certificate and what
