Russia and America in Georgia Together

The Election Results for Both Countries

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said on Friday 29 August, U.S. military advisers were involved in the conflict and accused the White House of provoking the crisis to help Republicans win the November U.S. presidential election. "In a significant way, the crisis was provoked, including by our American friends in the course of the election struggle," Putin said in an interview with German television ARD.

Symbolism of Five Olympic Rings

The emblem of the Olympic Games is composed of five interlocking rings (blue, yellow, black, green, and red respectively) on a white field. This was originally designed in 1913 by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games. These five rings stand for passion, faith, victory, work ethic and sportsmanship.

Olympic literature has long held that they signify the five continents of the world. But Coubertin never spoke of “continents” in 1913/1914, only of specific areas of the world “désormais acquises á I’Olympisme.“ Because the Baron originally designed the five ring symbol as a logo for the 20th anniversary congress celebrating the IOC’s establishment, it is probable, as David Young postulates, that Coubertin’s five rings symbolized the five Olympic Games successfully staged before the time of the 1914 Paris proceedings.

7/7 London Bombings Trial - No Verdict!



7/7 London Bombers.............
The jury in the trial of three men accused of helping the 7 July London bombers has failed to reach a verdict.

Waheed Ali, 25, Sadeer Saleem, 28, and Mohammed Shakil, 32, all from Leeds, admit having known the 7/7 bombers but denied having helped them find targets.

The prosecution is expected to seek a retrial and the men were remanded in custody until a hearing in September.

On Friday, the jurors told Mr Justice Gross they had not reached a verdict on any of the three defendants and he said the time had come to discharge them.

Prosecutor Paul Taylor said the Crown Prosecution Service would take "a little time" to consider if it would seek a retrial of the men.

Mr Justice Gross said: "I will work from the assumption that there might be a retrial and I will assume that it is likely to be in the new year."


7/7 Investigation in numbers
90,000 phone calls examined
4,700 phone numbers probed
13,000 exhibits
7,000 forensically examined
18,450 statements taken
19,400 documents created

Tens of thousands of police hours have been spent on the three-year-old investigation - and detectives say there are still people in the Leeds area who know more.
