r t a huge chance to thaw the frozen ties with russia the british prime minister's description of his official visit to moscow the first by u.k. leaders since two thousand and five ties between the countries have been strained in recent years over a number of issues notably the poisoning death of a former russian security agent in london are his and he's now is following david cameron's visit. looks like both sides have pretty much agreed to disagree by holding this meeting the show must go on that's what we're hearing from officials british and russian sides understand how much their partnership and cooperation really means to each other's progress especially in the financial world it's been six years most of those years filled with longstanding sticking points and issues that the two sides just couldn't agree on let's not forget of course the literally yank osogbo when former russian security officer alexander litvinenko was poisoned and then died in london that led to a big standoff between the two countries the diplomatic route odd almost all levels

and then after that of course a big spate on whether or not extraditions would take place british authorities narrowed down a main suspect a russian citizen andrea lugovoy and russian officials basically refused to actually fight lugovoy because it's their policy that they don't extradite their citizens and also just recently andre lugovoy himself has said that back then he was willing to cooperate with investigators and even now he is willing to do so going as far as to say he himself is willing to sit down with david cameron and try to do our work things out if you will but so that was something that really really really put a strain on the relations the both sides like i said understand that they need to somehow move past that it should be said as well that british authorities over the past couple of years have been very reluctant and denying extradition of russian citizens who have asylum in the u.k.

their wanted for other crimes as well as being involved in the list for you ok so a lot of issues that do eventually hopefully need to be worked out it doesn't look like today is going to be the day where they sit down and focus on that because we've already heard from prime minister david cameron as he gave a lecture and held a q. and a session at moscow state university saying that he believes that right now it should be business that striving for. in the u.k. relations forty eight billion dollars were british investments in russia at the end of two thousand and ten and both countries understand there are enormous responsibility as major economies when it comes to the financial crisis so a con to me is going to be a big one to two countries also going to be holding olympic events in the near future london in two thousand and twelve russia sochi in twenty fourteen in terms of international issues we're hearing that libya is going to be a big one of course britain along with france the two countries to really push to try to secure that u.n. resolution to go into libya the first place there were some of the first forces in

the country of course we'll know for sure what the two leaders actually touched a problem they hold a joint news conference later today at the press. and he's now our reporting on today's talks between the british and russian leaders in moscow and the press conference by them is expected to take place shortly and we'll of course be bringing you that live here on our team. italy is much disputed fifty four billion euros package to slash the country's crippling debt will go through a final debate at a lower house of parliament on monday it would increase taxes and cut government spending are to balance the budget by twenty thirteen but constant changes to the plan and squabbling between lawmakers has damaged people's faith in it and as a band of reports there's a town that's decided it doesn't want to wait for the cuts. welcome to filipino a small town in the middle of italy that also claims to be an independent principality

and to prove it it's even started printing its own money the man on the new note says town mayor lucas a lhari now self-proclaimed prince i guess everyone dreams of being a prince when they're a little boy and so did i now i get to live that dream filipinos going solo in protest over government plans to slash council funding it wants small towns to merge having the number of local authorities with a population of just six hundred filipino and its mayor for the chop but. it's a terrible idea because it makes no economic sense we have everything here to be autonomous and besides the neighboring towns are at least thirty kilometers away so it's not practically possible it wouldn't even save that much money most regional administrations do nothing we should get rid of them instead of italy's in deep debt one hundred twenty percent of g.d.p.

the second highest in europe but unions are furious with the cuts accusing the government of punishing those already at their poorest even some of silvio berlusconi's own allies now oppose them with amendments piling up but filipinos fed up determined to be the next san marino a constitutional republic within italy that has no national debt a rare thing in europe the methinks the town can live off its natural resources of wood and water but currently profits go to private companies there are constitutional hurdles but since autonomy is not illegal it could just be a matter of time at the moment these notes aren't legal tender they're just souvenirs but the plan is for two theory to be worth one euro and for this to be the only currency they could be spent in the shops and restaurants here business is always been so. in the sleepy town but shopkeepers hope the new money will bring new cash. and show that once we start using the new currency

the economic situation here will significantly improve it will have a positive effect on tourism of course attracting people to the town was far from being a p.r. stunt filipino means business and berlusconi knows it he's visiting the town later this month to stave off the rebellion and he'll have a fight on his hands filipino is the source of rome's water supply and that may is threatening to cut it off if he doesn't get what he wants larger than its artsy filipino. debt laden greece meanwhile is planning to impose a property tax acclaims will let the country meet the demands of its lenders as the government struggles to curb death tax collectors and taxi owners have started a two day strike angry up more propose a stereo measures later we talked to a greek m.p. seem a skinny called blue who says joining the eurozone was detrimental to his country's

catastrophic very wrong that. some women love might not get what he wants but people all around the world are being affected so poorly so badly by u.s. policy lots of people in the global south still remember how their countries have been distorted or destroyed in so many ways by american i think of american intervention in afghanistan. previously the soviet union has proved again and again very dangerous for the superpowers involved afghanistan is not an easy place for america to take over and i think you're more if when i. say his first responsibility is to the afghanistan people it's a problem and then to the wider region not to the united states so the idea that the united states can take from what's happened in afghanistan i don't think so and to democracy building democracy building needs to be created from the ground up but it took a huge toll on the american economy as well and it's

a general atmosphere of known simply to israel and so western and so is ready rhetoric at the same time in reality they are dependent on american support and one of the aspects of turkey's move towards making a bid for regional leadership is once again the very distinct cooling of to put it mildly its relations with israel so these approaches is of historical magnitude which israel can't really influence israel in a certain sense is only going to be able to pursue a policy of damage limitation hoping very much to keep these relationships with egypt with as much as they possibly can doesn't really matter right now exactly what israel does israel is going to be increasingly isolated it's going to be put in a very defensive situation that i think is the reality in the region we're looking forward to at the moment. now let's take a look at some other stories from around the world counting is underway in guatemala's presidential elections with former military general out of paris thought to be leading leftist groups have warned against a return to the nation's dictatorship past but high crime rates and poverty in
