it's not time again as leaders from the g. eight countries gather in france where exactly does the world economy stand this time around one of them a video of an obama meet one on one to prove to the world and each other their newfound friendship is strong a good underlying tension the honeymoon short of a live report from friends. and the scene in tbilisi georgia as we speak government opposition. here gas and water cannon so with the arab spring on the top of everyone's mind georgia the next

in line to their leader. and secessionist movements on the rise worldwide and states looking for independence and the government or will they be better off alone. starting off today some of the most powerful leaders in the world are gathering for the g. eight summit and deauville friends among the issues on the table responding to the arab spring and also continue uprisings that we're seeing across the globe as well as nuclear safeguards and urging and of course the economy president obama is meeting with several leaders one on one and among them russian president dmitry medvedev yet argue that he's and now he is in deauville france and joins us now live with more uneasy starting off i want to talk about this meeting between us.

president obama and russian president medvedev it's been a pretty close relationship as of late lots of love there but there seems to be some underlying tension as well as some disagreements i guess you could call them related to the missile defense shield give us your take what do you make of these meetings as you see them. well this is an issue missile defense that has been on the table between russia and the u.s. for years now and it's always been an issue that when they sit down to talk about it there's lots of smiles lots of handshakes but there is always tension in the air and part of the reason that's the case is that they just can't seem to agree on the start treaty which they signed of course last april limiting their strategic arms by more than a third on the words basically they disagree on what that contract means and although we see smiles and. they don't look at each other they seem to be very distracted but at the same time they call each other friends all the

time so it's a little bit of mixed signals i think i think personally what it is that they can't quite agree on this issue but they do sincerely want to try to figure it out president medvedev himself said that he doesn't think it will happen anytime in the near future i want to talk to him he said about the u.s. and now saying recently that it would help target doku umarov the man who's claimed responsibility for the deadly attack on moscow's subway last year u.s. now offering a reward nearly five million dollars i'm wondering if this kind of a light in the air between them was the scene as a sign of support or simply something to distract from from the other issues. well certainly on the surface terrorism is one thing that russian the u.s. can always seem to agree on obviously it's a problem that they both face but this in particular and happening right now could possibly be first of all we don't exactly know what happened behind closed doors we saw what happened with the smiles and handshakes on missile defense but it really

is something that they can't quite agree on some perhaps it's kind of a little bit of a bait you could call it to say we will give you this you hang on in there about missile defense and we'll try to work it out in the future but for now will put doku umarov on the world's most wanted list and even put out five million dollars to cern now that osama bin ladin gone now we can focus on some of the other world's top terrorists as well you know something that always strikes me as amazing about the g eight is the agendas that are put forth there's always so many issues that they want to deal with they're the these eight powerful countries tonsilitis just briefly about some of the other issues you see as central to being discussed during these three days. yeah it's almost insane when you think about but in the time span of thirty six hours they try to discuss all these issues this year at the top the most talked about issue out what is going to be the crisis in libya and it's ironic that this summit is taking place in france because france in recent years has

certainly moved its position on the global stage the g 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 eight africa on the table then iraq and boosting the euro now it's libya and 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 the new french president came a new friend circles 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 are growing then ever before it's a globalist more than. 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 spring so wanted to participate and to be one of the first. ruler western ruler to go there and. 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 costs is the killer european countries are facing more and more protest over huge spending cuts in an attempt to lower tariffs and set and save a drowning euro sex scandal involving i.m.f. had done an extra one might have knocked out a top contender competing against sarkozy for the presidency but experts say yes kay was toppled apple's long 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 libyan 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's 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 recruit on splitting issues and he says no way r t v fronts so true and if i cover the g eight back when i was in sea island georgia and it really is always in these beautiful beach towns and i like how you times in your story about appearances versus reality things that they say they're going on smiles but then things that are actually going on behind the scenes talk about this a little bit as it relates to money i mean these are powerful countries but all of

them including of course the u.s. having some struggles with the economy and yet we've got this situation in libya going on you mentioned that this is one of the top issues on the table talk about that and you know all this money being spent on the effort in libya while many of these countries are suffering. well this is why you have protesters out on the streets not very close to the venue of course they've been quite tight on security in fact we haven't really had any problems although in fact today someone did manage i forgot to mention this he was a basically trying to bring awareness to the fact the g. eight leaders have promised for years to gather more money for aids awareness and in trying to do raise research and he made his way through security somehow in a feather boa if you bought on to my twitter account you can check out the pictures that was pretty impressive but back to the money protesters people in france suffering from spending cuts well they're spending hundreds of millions of dollars on libya to simple people here in france that's insane i mean we ate oysters here

yesterday for dinner i'm not complaining but i think it's common french people or anyone knew how much money was being spent on these kind of things we just took the g. eight it. seems a bit superfluous with so many people are suffering during this financial crisis not just those oysters but all that security as well arty's and he said now working hard i know it's been a long day for you we do appreciate you coming in weighing in on everything and from the ongoing conflict in libya to the world economy finding a new head of the international monetary fund or the arab spring so no shortage of issues for world leaders to discuss but will anything actually be resolved or harshness of the residents out not to that question to the streets of new york city . well. as world leaders gather at the g eight summit what do you think they should be focusing on solving collectively this week let's talk about that i think they should be focusing on. greening birth i mean just saving the planet and also

humanity let's politics and more people and more communication and more truth do you think they'll do that no not in a hundred years do you think that they'll be looking out for the global best interest or just their country's own interest i suspect most countries come to the table with their own best interests in mind are you hopeful that they can set those aside at least enough to come to some common i'm hopeful that my retirement savings were something when i retire would it be better if they just chose one to work on and fix that first i think the multi ability is able to talk about a few issues they're able to talk about i don't have the able to solve them all in one time of the problems will never go away i don't believe the world leaders can fix them now they don't seem to be drawing left to fix them so i can see in fixing the problem so why do they have the stomach. well.

lord i just wish people would get along a little bit better together just all the nationalities all the different religions and i think we'd be much better off maybe this time it should be more like a retreat where they talk about how they can get along in. the economy. the economy is important but the economy would follow with they got everything else. the better what you want the world leaders to solve the bottom line and let's just hope they can set aside their differences so they can work collectively for change. turning now to georgia where there has been a wave of violence at least two people are dead dozens hospitalized and hundreds detained this is the result of a brutal crackdown on anti-government rally on the eve of georgia's independence day that took place just a few hours it took place just

a few hours from the government just ninety protesters to nearly three weeks the tension has finishing off what was a bloody end to georgia's day of rage correspondent sara first has more from tbilisi. it was held by the opposition as the day that with. the people. sitting president saakashvili ended in violence and bloodshed a huge pools of riot police moved in on the crowd just minutes after midnight just a independent from. everybody was ok. we've got to leave. as the police closed in water cannons were fired into the crowds rubber bullets and

gas seriously injuring bake them as traitors and. a police officer was killed when he was run over by a car and a protest in front of the parliament so. the scenes of violence all the more shocking given that many of the. older generation. we were standing peacefully when riot police to the ground and started beating me with my relatives also saw for they smashed one of my friend's face and left another one. you can see from my face the kind of force they used and i think i'm even alive these people don't value human life. it had been the silver revolution of the older crowd they turned out demonstrating against lay pensions and writing the prices the five days they have the main t.v. building in tbilisi before taking their protest to the main parliaments the high

and national numbers of protest this is the weekend after fifty thousand monk the opposition parties themselves that is they will lead through the streets a wednesday the crowd once again turned out. to use force. for them traitors. demonstrators will vastly outnumber the witnesses to the name then the two thousand and seven protests in which these hundred were injured this time around police presence is even greater and. because this is the western so already being asked about whether the scale is justifiable. many were arrested and many more injured if the real in the streets. the violent clash. they said that they were banned from which the leaders of the opposition gave me

a bit analyse earlier on just before the fighting broke out was saying she would maybe be holding it. but didn't happen they wanted out instead the price had pending how it started and scenes of violence so. it was a familiar scene just different place and work to what we've been seeing over the last several months this time the streets of georgia so what we're after and what could lie ahead r.t. spoke to stop people korea for a number of georgia's parliament for some insight. georgia is basically one changing country tire. environment in which they cannot really express themselves freely without being intimidated by the government forces. the most important questions they were asking yesterday in previous. peaceful rallies and demonstrations was to have. finally free and fair elections

in the country since two thousand and three their so-called rose revolution we did not have unfortunately in the free elections with a local organisation. so this was the basic demand from a few hundred peaceful demonstrations there's just a. sign of signature soccer shortlist out there private rule he always tries to find a scapegoat he always blames. ours he always tries to find culprits . crossing the border to my country and tries to have a life situation domestically and in georgia which is wrong he himself is the most dangerous intimidating and destabilizing. the georgian country and he's the one who needs to be blamed for the blace. even the

children i told him he's. going to try to intimidate people and the last night was the most. painful. in history in recent history of my country i think. it's because now it's going to war they waited at the tories plan and i think george first right they're outraged and we are expecting more and more rallies in coming days in the coming months and i think they're more international . society race is royalty against injustice in georgia and the more. people will have. hope that tomorrow it will be much much better for their families and finally georgia becomes. a free country like the ones for your trying to. catch we. invested in europe and the states

and all around the world unfortunately right now i don't see we are serious concerns international society how strong we should be condemning the regime from its brutal crackdown. on may twenty fifth in a cup of soup of. tbilisi and on the other hand i also strongly believe that the obama administration will never agree with. excessive violence excessive use of force against peaceful demonstrations and that was thought me by korea former georgian local representative. now and the opposition of a different kind of scotland is one of the latest countries caught up in a wave of nationalism following success in recent elections by the scottish national party and for the first time that they have a majority in parliament by his r.v. correspondent laura and it reports breaking away from the united kingdom come without a struggle. the starting pistol sounds in the race to independence for scotland the

scottish national party now has a surprise majority in parliament and that help ends on a referendum on breaking away from the u.k. we gain control over all the resources we had to responsibility for the problems we face in our country and to be able to stand up and speak to the issues that matter to us source of oh taking charge accordingly can sure that we have a voice abroad but in years from oil and gas in the north sea over i think estimated twenty one really. dollars to begin k. treasury every year scotland says the reserves are in their waters it's hard to imagine the u.k. would let the oilfields go without a fight particularly as westminster wouldn't be legally obliged to honor a yes vote of the scottish people the union jacks days flying outside the scottish parliament could be numbered scotland's ditching the united kingdom would mean the u.k. treasury lost valuable oil and gas revenues and it could be the inspiration for historically

less peaceful independence movements in europe like the basques and the northern irish to follow suit and further destabilize an already weak e.u. the s.n.p. would support other european movements in their own struggles for independence including wales and northern ireland if they so choose for the people of those countries to say what we want to do we would never support or condone violence in any shape or form clearly if other countries wish to pursue. a great deal of sympathy from others and even those who don't want the u.k. to break up say it's a sense of wanting to reclaim individual nationhood that striving the movement is just an argument. richard it's all about whether you feel that we are scottish and british we want to be and remain part of a union which i think well for. years the s.n.p.

still has work to do if it wants to break away even the most optimistic polls show only around forty percent of scots would vote yes and on the streets of edinburgh people are divided the oil industry and about you know say you. just don't know when this we've got money generally not. to other people well the school itself. was from scotland. as much as i'm close to the. it's all for the future oh if you're in shortly how much in the village room would be freezing up at all dave only a little enough ago to get turkey to do a load of food for the kids food one way or the other the s.n.p. has time to bring the on shore ground it's pushing off a referendum until the second toss a bit spikey

a government it would be the beginning of a new era of fiscal cliff which hasn't been independent since seventeen zero seven but it's always retained destroy and distinct national identity something the s.n.p. will be playing on with all its might lure and it's at a brick. wall if not a new phenomenon but for one region to be independent from its surrounding areas i want you for a moment draw a slight comparison with some of the states in this union that see themselves as standalone states alaska times can be one tax that's also one that comes to mind with talks of states' rights ever present as well as the talk of norfolk ation or the ability of states ignore federal laws that they just don't agree with her success governor rick perry back in two thousand and six. each. year you.

keep. it was a and that may have been in two thousand and nine but once again we're seeing people in power putting pressure on their constituents to fight for their rights a way that of course reemerged after the passage of president obama's health care plan well earlier i spoke to alex jones in austin texas to talk about this. because the queen of england is likely the queen of the netherlands own a lot of stock in british petroleum and those tens of billions of dollars of oil that scotland would threaten to take with it compared texas and the us union to ireland and england and wales is two different things states here are part of the united states and a country we have scotland in england being two different countries who are in perpetual war with each other england conquered scotland and flies their flag above

their conquered government building and so that's why they have a legitimate right and reason to get out from underneath what's left of the parasitic british empire but we haven't heard about this and there's been almost a complete news blackout on it worldwide you're right about that because i've done research on it it's very hard to find any information because the rest of the british commonwealth are still being sucked off of. by the british oligarchy in that corrupt group that sits around it know that people understand that globalism is a cancer in its destroying local control and so there's a move toward sovereignty again and so they're trying to hope that people just don't notice this oh i'm success now i mean you say there's not many similarities but there are some similarities to have a you know a group of people a group of readers who want to be independent from their surrounding regions i'm wondering you know here in austin you spend

a lot of time there how strong is that sentiment there now. well it's very strong and it's always been strong and. i don't completely disagree with you i'm not saying there aren't similarities it's just that scotland is a country that was at war for probably something like five hundred years with england trying to conquer it off and on so that's two separate countries texas is actually similar that it was its own country but voluntarily chose to join the union it's known as the lone star state because clearly it's codified any time texas wants to pull out of the union it can instantly that's the treaty it's on record with the original thirteen colonies they also have a similar right now as western expansion happened towards the pacific those were first territories so they don't have as much a right but any free group of people who don't like some distant government ruling them have always had an innate right went back to our declaration of independence and just common organic law to throw off those chains of tyranny and to create

a new government that will defend the people's rights and liberties sosa session movements are growing worldwide because people don't like big corrupt central corporate run empires are running their life people are take switzerland they're nationalisms never been higher in russian nationalism side china everywhere people want to be nationalistic they want that they don't want to be run by the global corporate is new world order board now has that sort of fire wall just turning i think what you're saying now is that i mean in terms of not always liking from of the rules that are imposed by the higher forms of government around all those people in this who get assistance from the federal government you know what happens to that. i mean text is has more resources produces more wealth in california or the second most populous state second largest state after alaska there's been a lot of international studies done that texas will be much better off the feds take one dollar of tax money from taxes they send us back thirty three cents of it

with strings attached. and tell us that they hung the moon to make the grass grow i read that that number is actually closer to ninety six cents but i guess it depends on where looking for the right look like this is what's happening our federal government as it exists anymore twenty seven million dollars of tax money from the u.s. was sent offshore i'm not even for texas a session at this point i want my federal government back and my republic back i want a private cell reserved let's hijack my nation like hitler invading poland out of my country. always strong words from alex jones host of the alex jones sound authentic this and that's going to do it for now for more on the stories we cover and go to our t. dot com slash usa check out our you tube page you tube dot com slash r t america want to thank you so much for watching we've got a lot more coming up anytime christine for. new website which twenty four seven live streaming news conference what to do about the
