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 it will 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 united states in fact britain's nuclear deterrent can't actually launch a nuclear missile on its own so in fact what is happening today is largely symbolic the special relationship phrase was so deeply contested one. blair was in power and his relationship with bush was seen in britain to be much more one of a rather than a partner and yes in a sense it will describe i'm 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 war machine and islam is fringe organizations linked aggressive foreign policy led by the u.s. and the u.k. supported variously by france and other nato allies with terror attacks there's a war taking place as we go some of the seams adolescent to believe the lives they stop supporting the dictators it was in countries that's not torturing us supporting the parts that are his role. model 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 u.s. is lap dog. but this time it's different in libya it's britain taking the lead in nato with the us keen to keep it to a minimum

a deepening of cooperation between the two is something this group of demonstrators of a imminently objects to these are cars floating in the are starting to libya. three major wars in ten years those install those of us who want peace in the world to see those two cars corporate involved closely. is 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 says that it will deploy helicopters bringing the fighting closer to the ground the global war machine crumbles all with the alliance of london and washington in the engine room and this new agreements to

that has america get weaker commercially and militarily relatively speaking europe could exert itself a little more of it ever got its act together whatever is it can get its act together is because of the slavishly relationship between the u.k. and the u.s. . meanwhile nato has pounded more targets in the libyan capital tripoli after its heaviest a time since the campaign began over two months ago state t.v. says the airstrikes including one on the colonel gadhafi compound killed nineteen people and injured one hundred fifty others meanwhile the u.s. has invited the rebels transitional council to open up an office in washington marking a new step towards recognizing them as the country's official representatives. but are still ahead for you this hour here on r.t. the race to land the world's top job is certainly gathering pace with france's finance for the new front runner a look at what the charges are for a european to become the next i.m.f.

saving the euro. two thousand and three france had a very different stance on global politics then it was staunchly opposed to the u.s. invasion of iraq french fries quickly became freedom fries after france u.s. relations soured despite summit smiles but with a new french president came a new friend circle as he has rejected entirely the possibility of friends playing a constructive role in a multi multi-polar world and has aligned himself with the single superpower the united states nowadays france is barking much louder with more soldiers involved in foreign military conflicts of broadbent ever before it's a global list more than colonies and it's not just the friends it's the whole. global plan to change governments as they want.

france played a central role in ivory coast's bloody presidential stalemate and is considered the unspoken leader of the intervention in libya this great succors he wanted us to participate and to be one of the first. ruler western ruler to go there and just for his political agenda critics say this new global policy was meant to win over french voters but hasn't worked trances a kind of small united states with many interventions that are very costly and very little thinking about the relationship between rhetoric and the cost. and cost is the killer european countries are facing more and more protest over huge spending cuts in an attempt to lower tariffs and sets and save a drowning euro a sex scandal involving the i.m.f. had done an extra column might have knocked out a top contender competing against sarkozy for the presidency but experts say d s k

was toppled at the wrong time when you've still got worries about whether the euro will still be the currency of all these european countries in the next twelve to twenty four months and at the same time spending hundreds of millions forcing their way into libya conflict they don't see eye to eye but they going to try to regroup around. the idea that it's a humanitarian intervention and the u.n. resolution a resolution that china and russia didn't veto but have claimed has been manipulated to suit western interests perhaps there will be an appearance of agreement but if there is an appearance of agreement in my mind it will only be an appearance. appearance at the g. eight is hard not to notice the venue is usually some exclusive resort town where you can't hear protests over the euro and it's easy to forget bombs are falling in

libya this year france is beautiful normandy was chosen to house leaders as they sit down to debate some of the world's ugliest problems and once again are faced with the question of whether the g eight can regroup on splitting issues and he's now a r t v fronts of course i will be bringing you extensive coverage of the g eight summit as well as expert analysis of the event and all the issues being discussed of course right here right. now in georgia thousands of position supporters are into their fifth straight day of protests against the government but demanding and state sanctioned corruption and the resignation of president mikheil saakashvili who they accused of abusing his position to maintain power to sarah furthest details from tbilisi. ok it's just that ousting president is silly now in this day the demonstrators here big spending their vigil outside a public t.v. station that what we saw when the protests started a for the weekend with thousands of people turning out to join in these

demonstrations with opposition leaders calling for an end to what they say is an authoritarian and undemocratic regime now we saw some quite violent clashes break out amongst the protesters and the police protesters covering that faces with masks and fighting with the sticks that they were carrying now nina if you do not see and heard democratic movement united has continued to hold their rallies at the rally today is going ahead what they plan is to me from the area here where they are sanction to be down tools friedan's ahead of tomorrow's day of independence military parades now that way and so is unsure at the moment whether at the meet resistance from the police and they do that so that they probably will and again whether we'll see more of these violent clashes that we saw happening over the weekend. protesters in georgia push.

themselves for a response. on the website www dot com previous uprisings in the country. the video. of the. more. calm. has only strengthened after a. visit to the u.s. another battle is raging on the line both sides claiming one of the world's most

popular websites. is a rewriting of the history of the conflict and. reports from but this fight is out far from equal. 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 an all therapists. fact checking or a committee or something like that there is no chief editor or anything like that which is why we could 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 to raise the most popular of those pages in middle east there is an article i think. posting in the village that was destroyed during the. war is really the independence war and there are i think articles about ending military operation that any side during the history of the conflict 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 the actual facts where 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 not to these council that represents the israeli settler movement has been organizing workshops to teach people how to post revise and even rewrite some of the most disputed pages online there's disagreement around terminology such as the word occupation the 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 an apartheid state 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 had trained. just in years to brush up on their knowledge of wikipedia and later did external in 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 need trainers and finance so we can immediately interpret wiki pedia as well 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 their point of view you know a computer an article i mean if you have sources just bring them on but in this wall every bush of ammunition counts it's no secret that the revolution is a sweeping the arab world found support for online hundreds of thousands of people signed up on a facebook page calling for a third palestinian uprising or intifada that page has since been closed down for

inciting violence but the fight on line continues policy our team. despite washington's in terms of wide efforts to bring the palestinians and israelis to the negotiating table the two sides find themselves no closer to a resolution of eleanor's discuss what it might take to achieve the long awaited and highly elusive peace is coming your way a little bit later today. you have to understand palestinians see all of israel also as part of their patrimony your homeland and you nine hundred forty seven forty eight when israel was created palestinians were at least three quarters a 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 the out and to and to to look at the occupied territories in isolation from the rest through mandatory problems so poor israel's

being. this is very important territory that ignores what palestinians have already agreed to. it. and say a hot debate today on crossfire check it out let her say now or france's finance minister has officially entered the race to become the next head of the international monetary fund of course following dominic straus counsel resignation over a sex scandal christine lagarde is reported to have the backing of all the states and the u.s. but the fastest growing economies known as the brics countries are calling for a selection process based on competency not nationality but experts believe their calls for a non european ground. this is an important first step we may not see its fruit of this round we don't and we went through these countries really

organizing a successful coalition to block the western united states in this round we're going forward this could be a sign of things to the car not just in terms of who nominally meet these institutions after our real decisions are often being elsewhere not by air but in the g seven finance ministers. in the actual policy russia and brazil are countries there suffer tremendously under i.m.f. policies children one thousand nine hundred ninety when they went through crises much like the crises that greece is going through today and they eventually pull out of the i.m.f. framework temporarily suffer tremendously but then both countries had a restoration of growth so these are countries that effort actually repudiate the advice of the international monetary fund and so their natural leaders for

a movement against these policies. i don't want to minutes past the hour here in moscow let's check out some other headlines from around the world and the air traffic in the north of germany has resumed hours after major airports are closed due to the high level of volcano ash from iceland to airports in berlin remain shut however with hundreds of flights canceled european and meteorologists say that there's been a sharp decline in the volcanic activity responsible but the destruction he predicted that flights in european airspace will be back to normal as early as tomorrow. and violent tornadoes have swept through central american states leaving at least nine people dead and dozens injured and it comes as rescue workers carry on their efforts to find survivors after a deadly storm hit missouri three days ago over one hundred people were killed in that disaster and many more remain unaccounted for. in the strongest possible
