I have tried cleaning the metadata but the prob still exists. Any help?
is it due to my slow connection??

You misinterpret the yum output. In the OP's quoted mail, notice the
repository with the name "google". It's just that metadata download
problems with livna prevent yum from working at all. It's like a
denial-of-service for yum.
"yum install picasa" should just work and not fail because yum chokes
on bad metadata. Hopefully in the not too distant future the metadata
files will be renamed, so a repository still carries old metadata while
syncing updates.
