in the russian capital you watching r t m are you in joshing the u.s. congress has refused to grant president obama so ready to continue the military campaign in leading the very same lawmakers have turned down a motion to cut funding for the american action in the country the votes are being seen as a largely symbolic as the white house says it doesn't need congressional approval for the mission our she's got it she count as more from washington d.c. . the resolution adopted by the house of representatives is seen more like a message of rebuke to president obama rather than an actual war stopper because when he came to voting on cutting funds for that war the majority voted no so some analysts see elements of a showing the behavior of the u.s. congress saying that many lawmakers don't miss a chance to snub the president yet knowing that this numbers won't change much at

the end of the day as capitol hill observers say when it comes to waging wars congress has generally been supported the resolution was sort of a way for the congress to shoulder frustrate over the white house refusal to come to the lawmakers to seek authorization for military actions under the u.s. constitution only congress can declare war except the obama administration doesn't call it a war although we blast more than three months and involves many civilian deaths earlier this month the congressman had a chance to send an even stronger message that house debated a resolution from congressman dennis kucinich that calls for an immediate end to the u.s. involvement in the year and the majority of lawmakers again vote no to that proposal nevertheless the lawmakers going like being ignored but even those who truly want to stand up against the military actions in libya there is little we can do as one congressman said you can do resolutions until you are blue in the face but still be ignored by the white house but it seems it's not just resolutions that can be more

kids also the voices of the american people the majority of whom are against the u.s. involvement who leave yet there's also an interesting point that some experts have made with regards to the public perception of the war in libya it's off the headlines american use channels have been focused on congress one quite shut for weeks now and there is fear that certain inertia develops in the public perception with regards to the war in libya inertia which some say could be very dangerous. that account reporting there now they have the center for constitutional rights michael ratner says president obama is staking his political career on the war in libya. the perspective i have is why didn't the president come to congress and design to slee once a war starts we're in the middle of supporting nato and its whole operation so much harder to cut off the problem but the president didn't go to congress he's constitutionally required to do where he didn't do it and it's really it's an

outrageous constitutional violation so what we're seeing here is not just political posturing we're seeing deep resentments around us in so many wars at once i think people are saying it's too much it's too expensive what are we just the war machine and i think you're seeing a really strong opposition building to the war what's interesting is what i think obama looks like a real who will use it looks like he made a real mistake to not go to congress to get the authority to go into an illegal war that's contrary to the u.s. constitution and contrary to the war powers resolution which is a statute that was passed by congress a number of years ago is a bill are illegal and yes oh by leaving the constitution isn't reachable offense if. congress ever got. authority finance minister hosni mubarak's ousted egyptian government has reportedly found safe haven in the u.k. as a spy the fact has been sentence of censure to thirty years in jail for corruption

around london a prima and boutros ghali was convicted in absentia of corruption profiteering and abusing state and private assets he's also been ordered to repay more than ten million dollars and he andrey slaughter has demanded the british government tell something about it but is disappointed by the response but expect to see some more action both against the money and all the goods that's been exported from egypt and other. arab countries but also against fugitives from justice in this country and that's what i feel pressing to cover here today secondly we do have a very strong tradition in this country of holding international law and i want to see that continue like it won't be that the current government to neglect that you to many think they're already negligent in boutros ghali case an international arrest warrant has reportedly been issued by egypt that critics feel money and connections secure a ticket to freedom in the u.k.

who describe you would not have a problem to get into the united kingdom for so many reasons and the simplest one of them is the money is cause i mean you can still remain with your money in the u.k. if your money. is clear meanwhile in egypt people aren't surprised england they say is where corrupt middle eastern officials go to hide he's not a stranger to the women students very much one of the west's men in egypt was one of the west's men in egypt so that means sound refuge in london is not surprising to anybody q tips in diaspora in the u.k. it's called the million growth tends to hit its young and it community to say that people assume i'm great there's no guarantee took ali will stay safe and the way he remains the more the pale hours it will be accused to put christie pledging support to the middle east and for a democracy movement while the patriots bring to the polls great great see

grandchildren which might be shocking if it wasn't so common in israel today in the last decade some fifty thousand israelis have applied for european citizenship a quarter of a million already have a second passport it's unlikely that any other country in the world has such a large percentage of new immigrants preparing to leave. the story because he was a stubborn to become a shoot. through europe because the. death of my face the american heart of tel aviv here you'll hear more english than hebrew and you'll be forgiven for thinking that you're in the us and not the promised land most israelis here have a second passport many of them grew up abroad or have a parent who came from another country. and it would never give them a canadian and probably would give up my theory in america and i wouldn't give up

because i have family there and i want to be able to go there any time british passport or european passport is a doorway dr terry is eight years ago the bar was blown up by a suicide bomber three people were killed and fifty injured the bar didn't close down but some say the rush for new passports heated up in very peak off of the bombings when there was a feeling of insecurity so yes there was an increase in immigration and in the demand for passports and that demand has only grown in the last five years israel has been in two wars and many fear another is not far off and the government's policy of settlement expansion has only isolated the country internationally so it's no surprise as leading israeli journalist gideon levy that people are tired of living in a war zone. releasing its own creating. fear for and. against anything and the payoff is a population it feels unsafe with one eye on europe. gamma son has processed nearly

concerned it was mostly limited only to armchair commandos and the u.s. secretary of defense robert gates in fact of the admiral michael mullen opinion represents the bunker mentality and conventional wisdom conventional group thing only a part of the u.s. military and intelligence community who really have a grasp of the situation less likely to step up to the t.v. cameras and to spill their guts that after ten years old if u.s. uphill battle in afghanistan it turns out that ninety percent of the failure comes to the conventional forces due to conventional thinking. and now to some other international news this hour thousands of antigo testers marched across syria with at least fifteen people killed in separate cities after security forces fired on crowds syrian state t.v.

obama encourage lawmakers to support the rights of sexual minorities. to greece now where people are facing tax rises and fresh cuts to services as leaders call on politicians to support slashing spending and the ones who are rescue cash to be handed over the government will vote on a proposed to twenty eight billion euro budget cut over five years next week if approved it will mean a second bailout of twelve billion euro will save the country from defaulting on its debts and an option the prime minister has repeatedly ruled out many argue that attempts to rescue greece are too little too late that athens economic failure will leave the eurozone dream in tatters. and the skeptics. i believe the euros day buried. this is a funeral you perception in the center of brussels where the european leaders are meeting to discuss the future of the greek debts and of the eurozone itself they believe the euro can be salvaged but most people including euro skeptics believe

that it is impossible and there will be no resurrection of the euro well to me and i think a lot of people it's beginning to collapse around the really seen bailouts billions of pounds of taxpayers' money especially from the germans putting a lot of the spill i think the public about enough of it and i don't know if the leaders of the european union have presented greece with draconian conditions in order for the country to receive the remainder of its bailout unfortunately for greece they will have to take extreme measures which are incredibly popular in the country and that presents a major challenge for the greek government right immediately after it has just been for shuffled the leaders are unanimously wrong again maybe i'm wrong about greece from the very start she should never have been allowed to join the euro in the first place she wasn't suited to it they were wrong to buy her out first time they're wrong drawn by the route the second time and if the greek parliament on

tuesday accept this package then this time next year i'll be talking to you i will be a third player so while the european leaders are extremely excited about the fact that the future of the euro could still be resurrected most of the people in europe do not believe so and unfortunately for the european leaders the common europeans believe that the end of the euro is near. reporting there on the other side of the atlantic things aren't looking too promising either bankers are being laid off in huge numbers almost four thousand jobs have already been cut sister beginning of the year there's hardly much sympathy for wall street high starts liars among high fliers rather ordinary americans but as financial journalists watch tell its planes they should be concerned as a hint at a new low for the u.s. economy i think of what happened was there was kind of an idea that was happening that maybe a recovery was on the way because banks were making money again there were huge bonuses been paid out last year and that was an issue goes

a lot of backlash and i think that's one of the reasons they actually salaries instead of keeping bonuses the fact now that they're not making money shows that perhaps the economy isn't growing as fast as i thought it was numbers keep coming out suggesting that chokes on growing across various sectors and i think that if there's not money being made on main street that usually kind of effects financed the financial sector as well and if you're not making money trading then these banks can keep the bankers on that was a business insider to watch they'll share in her opinion on america's stuttering financial plight but what do people in the streets think about these problems residents talk show host laura harvest find out in new york. all the latest data indicates the global economy is going live are you personally affected this week let's talk about that have you felt the impact of the bad

economy or better job this economy's not get me a better job yes i try to go to college and i can't because car my car gas is all expensive at school so expensive so it's money versus like it's really bad but i'm happy because brazil is growing like for me to go so is that kind of the way it goes one when some countries are hurting other countries can prosper more yeah greece is looking bad spain is looking bad i feel like we're on the right path so they're just exaggerating not in greece and spain no no i feel like reports in the u.s. are i'm actually in the military so i do not feel that at all that's the only per annum one perk my job i've been getting steady paychecks for five years yet i can't see that the american military is going to go out of it if they do any time soon and i guess we have bigger problems to worry about you come. back but we have come

back even more so we could take graciously come to new york this. crucial british our fourth time in new york city today but it doesn't sound like you're hurting that it sounds like you're doing ok we have a lot of of that we've seen the bottom of this crisis or are we headed for bread lines and even worse things we've seen the bottom what is the bottom look like. well it was pretty bad during the great depression is a bottom that we know if we get that bad but i don't think we're there yet so do you think we can fix it i'm a global level or do you think it's time countries started looking at themselves first i think we have to fix it on the global level but i think we reach country have to lower their their expectations of. the living standard i think we all have to go don whether or not you've been personally affected the bottom line is the global economy apparently continues to fall flat so.
