   U.S. President Barack Obama met with British Prime Minister David
   Cameron in London Wednesday and later speaks to Parliament in a day
   expected to focus on U.S.-Europe relations.
   Obama and Cameron were expected to discuss ways the U.S. and Britain
   can assist anti-Gadhafi rebels in Libya and how best to assist
   fledgling democracies in Egypt and Tunisia.
   Addressing both houses of Parliament, Obama is expected to say that the
   U.S. and Europe must together play a lead role in global security.
   His speech comes just a day before a Group of Eight summit in
   Deauville, France where he will meet with other leaders of major
   industrialized countries.
   On Tuesday, the U.S. president and Britain's Queen Elizabeth exchanged
   toasts to British-American friendship during a lavish banquet at
   Buckingham Palace.
   Obama and his wife, Michelle, also met privately with royal newlyweds
   Prince William and his wife, Catherine.
   Obama arrived in London Monday after a stop in Ireland. He heads to
   France Thursday for the Group of Eight summit and to Poland later this
   week for talks with Central European leaders.
