The Ministry of Defence is to buy a new C-17 military transporter to move troops around and help with any future Libya-style evacuations, David Cameron announced today.

The Prime Minister told MPs the coalition had found savings at the MoD that would allow it to purchase the additional Boeing-built aircraft for the RAF.

The new C-17 Globemaster would cost £200 million, Downing Street said.

The announcement came as the cross-party Defence Select Committee warned today that Britain could struggle to mount an operation on the scale of the Libya mission in the future.

Challenged about the committee's report in the Commons, Mr Cameron said: "Because the Ministry of Defence's finances are better run and better managed, and because we have found savings, we will be able to purchase an additional C-17 for the RAF.

"This aircraft is becoming an absolutely brilliant workhorse for the RAF in terms of bringing men and material into a war zone like Afghanistan, but also evacuating civilians in times of need.

In the afternoon yesterday in Buenos Aires, Argentina President has said that "Argentina has suffered greatly from the use of weapons and will not suffer again" because Argentina did not respond to military provocation from Mr English prime minister (not named him). The President will monitor Argentina's Malvinas claim territotorial on United Nations
"Todos somos afortunados"

Crowds line streets for King's Troop Woolwich parade
CHILDREN joined veterans waving Union Jacks and hundreds of other people to line the streets of Woolwich and welcome an artillery unit back to their spiritual home.

The King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery bid an emotional farewell to their former base in St John’s Wood yesterday, but were treated like heroes in Woolwich today.

President is expected to make announcements related to the Malvinas Islands, awaiting the presence of officials, governors and legislators

President Cristina Kirchner held today notices in the framework of an act which will be held at 19 hs. in the Bicentennial American Patriot Room in the Government House.

  Are invited to morning governors, mayors, legislators, businessmen, national government officials, social organizations and Malvinas veterans, among others.

  Meanwhile, the leader of the CGT, Hugo Moyano confirmed last night that today attend the Casa Rosada and hinted that the announcement would be related to oil development in the Islands.

  "Tomorrow [for now] we have been invited to a meeting the President, in my capacity as Secretary General and the rest of the board. Do not know what the reason ... to talk about oil, I think," he said, in dialogue with TN

Note: Hugo Moyano is a worker, truck driver, a leader of workers and president of the Argentina Confederation of Workers, the most important union organizing in my country. Currently facing the president politically and publicly very upset. It is believed that a very strong fight with Moyano words caused the heart attack that killed former President Nestor Kirchner last year
