11:01 am
four years joining me for full business political analysis of the. white news hour live from moscow this is not see the u.s. president and the u.k. prime minister used their joint speech in london today to once again pressure the libyan leader cigar once again showing that the special friendship of the two english speaking nations is particularly relevant when it comes to conflicts on foreign soil. and it has more now from london. again david cameron said during this news conference very categorically gadhafi must go but as i say they are still insisting that they're complying with the u.n. resolution they talk about is an awful lot of sizes and everything they say but in the same sentence both these leaders are reiterating the need as they see it for me
11:02 am
to go so it's difficult to weigh on those two seemingly very different viewpoints. the very least it was necessary to disable gadhafi capacity to attack his own civilians and then of course there's the issue of moving him from power and possibly targeting him directly but what they're saying is that it's impossible to comply with the resolution to protect civilians if indeed gadhafi is still in power so that justifying it of many of course are saying that this is a clear case of regime change another interesting thing that happened was a slight disagreement that appeared to unfold despite this very carefully orchestrated news conference david cameron talked about turning up the heat in libya and he need leave dodge the question about whether they would be sending helicopters apache helicopters into fight closer to the ground as we reported in the media yesterday on the refused to commit to turning at the feet of the heat and
11:03 am
in fact he talked about maintaining that momentum that they had already built up and saying that that was enough to force the sooner or later to leave power so there's no further commitment from the u.s. in libya there which is something that the head of this visit the u.k. was reported to want them to commit to one of the major things that's come out of this visit is this setting up of the joint security border between the u.s. and the u.k. and what that will do is open up the defense and security resources of washington to london and voice now some people are saying that's just a formalization of an informal agreement that was already in place. as we see in the u.k. and the u.s. fighting various wars together and using their different strategy techniques very closely in line with each other but some see that formalization of this working relationship as very dangerous to the rest of the world as my record shows all smiles and handshakes as the u.k. and the u.s.
11:04 am
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. 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't actually launch a nuclear missile on its own so in fact what is happening today is largely symbolic the special relationship phrase was a people he tested one. blair was in power and his relationship to bush was seen in britain pretty much more one of approval rather than. yes in a sense it will describe these unpopular wars. not everyone welcomes
11:05 am
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 u.s. and the u.k. supported variously by france and other nato allies with terror attacks there's a war taking place to go. out unless and until they leave they stop supporting the dictators it was the countries. supporting the parcel division all the violence 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 the reinforcing pushkin's reputation as the us is a lapdog. but this time it's different in libya it's britain taking the lead in nato with the us keen to keep its role to a minimum
11:06 am
a deepening of cooperation between the two is something this group of demonstrators of payment lee objects to these are the cars go to the forefront of starting to. three major wars in ten years those good news for those of us who want peace in the world to see those two cars corporate involved closely triffitt outside buckingham palace where obama is staying these protesters are trying to persuade him and push prime minister cameron to stop waging war in foreign lands say far it hasn't worked obama and cameron we you know i see it in their intention to increase pressure on colonel gadhafi in libya. a demonstration at nato escalates its involvement in the war in libya france's says it will deploy helicopters bringing the fighting closer to the ground the global war machine rumbles on with the alliance of london and washington in the engine room and this
11:07 am
new agreements to cool information and resources may only that fuel to the fire your avatar. on nato as a part of more targets in the libyan capital tripoli after its heaviest attacks and the campaign began some two months ago state t.v. says the airstrikes including one colonel about his compound killed at least nineteen people and injured one hundred fifty others the u.s. has also invited the rebels' transitional council to open an office in washington marking up and you step towards recognizing them as the country's official sensitives we're going to name it from the u.s. based think tank just foreign policy says that the u.s. and its allies are waging an illegal war dressed up as a humanitarian mission. he says then bombing libya. so it's a war. you supporter or oppose it it's still for instance it's illegal under united states law and this is being openly said states it's never been authorized by
11:08 am
congress there is now a vote finally exploded in the house in the next three days on an amendment by representative conyers there would explicitly prohibit the introduction of u.s. ground troops in libya so the attempt by some members of congress to put zone perimeter on what the what the u.s. mean here you've heard a lot of rhetoric about human rights in libya because france britain and the u.s. wanted to intervene in the case of bolivia war it was really britain and france they were pushing aggressively for action much more so in c. i do think we all have to be you know keep our eyes focused on the actual policy and there's always. special relationship of course the issue is not whether we want u.s. and britain to cooperate i certainly do is cooperate to do what so if the if there is special relationship means cooperate and do bad things then it's not in
11:09 am
the interests of the majority of people in either country. you know with all to you it's good to have your company today and still ahead for you in the program a new battlefield in the middle east conflict look at how the israelis and palestinians accuse each other of distorting the historic facts in which the p.d. articles plus. this leads to mountains around the world through three centuries last finding his biography and its possible terms. on the country's history people come to visit and talk to him under the name has agreed to share some of his secrets to a long life with us. and i want some of his past the hour here in moscow i was just one day to go before the g eight summit kicks off in the french resort of the vehicle will be hosted by nicolas sarkozy. his country rather holds the presidency of the group this year but it's also his and he said now reports france under his leadership played a leading role in causing the very problems the summit is aiming to solve. the g.
11:10 am
eight has gone full circle the last time the summit was held in france eight years ago the agenda looked almost the same. war the economy somewhere in the middle aid to africa on the table then iraq and boosting the euro now it's libya and saving the euro. only in 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 the new french president came a new friend turkey was a has rejected entirely the possibility of friends playing a constructive role in a more multipolar world and has aligned himself with a thing go through our the united states nowadays france is barking much louder
11:11 am
with more soldiers involved in foreign military conflicts abroad then ever before it's a globalist modern. it's not just the friends it's a 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. what it is 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 france is a kind of small united states with many interventions that are very costly and very little thinking about the relationship between rhetoric and the costs. and cost is
11:12 am
the killer european countries are facing more and more protest over huge spending cuts in the attempt to want to fix it and save a drowning or a sex scandal involving i.m.f. had done an extra scar on might have knockout 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 the 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
11:13 am
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 protest 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 and of course we'll bring you extensive coverage of the g eight summit as well as our expert analysis of the event and of the issues being discussed you can find out right here on out. now in georgia where thousands of opposition supporters are in the fifth straight day of protests against the government there wanting an end to state sanctioned corruption and the resignation of president mikheil saakashvili who they accuse of abusing his positions and maintain power
11:14 am

11:15 am
turning in around five thousand people here listening to the opposition addressing the crowd. and the passing you know i think closure leading to. this being solved by some people the still the revolution is the older generation you can certainly see in the crowd said these people are struggling with life passions and high food prices the. older generation. just. in the military right. will be carrying cars that we sold in the blocking of the right supposing that the structure. of the week when the prices started we saw this pilot clashes between police and protesters some of the being arrested fights breaking out whether the thank the half of the guy is also a cat will tell you know what the police are going to think this is a search and this so they try and remain in this area that's me there are.

you would see him live from moscow and while the israeli palestine is only strengthened after his visit to the u.s. another battle is raging online both sides claim that one of the world's most popular websites. is a rewrite the history of the conflict and reports that this fight is 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 isn't all facts . except checking or a committee or something like that there is no chief editor 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 to raise the most popular of those pages the middle east there is an article i think practically a port in the village
11:18 am
a posting in village that was destroyed during. the war there is really dipping dependence war and there are i think articles about any military operation that any side launched during the history of the conflict both israelis and palestinians complain they side of the story is not properly covered propaganda is putting a label on israel and calling us apartheid state we fight by bringing in the actual facts where israel is the most progressive the marker see in the middle east and for that matter the only democracy in the middle east and that's why not you should cancel that represents the israeli settler movement has been organizing workshops to teach people how to post revise and even re white 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 when we see for
11:19 am
example that a certain media calls israel an apartheid 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 our good i'll not so who heads the association of palestinian journalists he says he wishes he had the kind of cash the israelis have trained. it's genius to brush up on the knowledge of wikipedia and illicit expansion 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 interpret we keep p.d.f. as well put these wikipedia 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 in the wikipedia article i mean if you have sources just bring them on but in this wall every push of ammunition counts
