A Russian TV newsreader has been fired after apparently raising her middle finger to Barack Obama live on air.
REN TV, a privately owned Russian channel, dismissed Tatyana Limanova after a video clip of her gesture went viral.
Limanova was reading a report on the Asian-Pacific Economic Co-operation (Apec) summit held in Hawaii earlier this month when she noted that Dmitry Medvedev, Russia's president, had taken up its rotating presidency.
