Have just watched Matthew Chance reporting on the Georgia protest. This man gets nothing right:

1. When reporting on the August war from Gori – he told viewers that the Russians had bombed Gori causing severe damage and many casualties. Not true – the Russians bombed a military camp near Gori and a couple of stray bombs hit Gori damaging 3 apartments and causing a few deaths and injuries (still terrible but not deliberate).

2. He reported from Tskinvali (again August war) standing in front of a burnt out tank, saying the town had been devastated – there were no buildings behind him at all, and no pan to show any devastation.

3. He reported today from Tbilis that Saakashvili still has support in Georgia – absolutely untrue. I am English and have lived here for 12 years with my Georgian family. Saakashvili has ZERO support (except for his immediate accolites – who are getting fewer in number daily).

Hi Hala, and idesk team.

how are you all, I hope all of you in good mood and happy.

Regarding pirates, most of the time people turn to crime when they are hungry poor or have no one to stop them but mostly when they are poor.how to deal with such matter, its easy smiply ( feed them ).

On the other hand i like the over all look but still you need to add some blue and pink to show face of idesk if you know what i mean.

best regards to hala and all, wish you a hppy new year coming soon.

Hello,

Today in the Quest Means Business has been said that in 2008 pirates in Somalia attacked more that 100 boats. That means that they do it on a daily basis. I think that situations like the one that is happening now are completely non-sense in the 21st century.

Best wishes,

The events off of Somalia where an American naval captain is being held by pirates tugs at our sense of need to bring about an effective solution.
However, all that could be done is being done. It is only a matter of time, if the pirates don't use violence upon Captain Phillips, before the pirates will be confronted with the choice between losing their own lives or giving up Captain Phillips to the American naval forces which have collected at the hostage taking site.

Maybe for security reasons, the news media isn't giving out much information, but the same thing over and over on the air is driving me batty! Can we get some updated reports on the air? Praying for the brave Captain and his family.

hello everyone
for me this group is nothing more than criminals. I hope that the african leaders will jion there hands with mr obama`s administration to stop them.
I Praying for the brave Captain and his family.
