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 that 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 ill or illegal acts and yes by letting the constitution isn't a teachable of sense if and when our congress ever got. the former finance minister hosni mubarak's ousted egyptian government has reportedly found safe haven in the u.k. that's despite the fact he has been sentenced in absentia to thirty years in jail for corruption profiteering and abusing state assets by a cairo court argues laura amec looks of why the u.k. sheltering senior figures from the regime of the same time as

israelis have applied for us 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 is or was a stubborn to become a shelter for the jewish people europe becomes the shell of the true sleeping is. that of my place 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 canadian israeli and i would never give up my canadian and probably would give up my israeli the american i wouldn't give up because i have family there and i want to be out to go there any time british passport or european passport is a doorway to opportunities eight years ago the bar was blown up by

enough for anti-war activists artie's military contributor says despite staying in the country for ten years conventional u.s. war tactics of yielded few tangible results. if anybody was impressed by a barrage of bomb a speech regarding the tempo and scale of u.s. forces withdraw from afghanistan it was afghan president hamid karzai on the one side the afghan leader was a happy camper regarding the american president announcement and on the other side there was so much and for hanchen regarding there we action from the u.s. military and from afghan vox populi as far as the military effort hanchen is concerned it was mostly limited only to armchair commandos and the u.s. secretary of defense robert gates in fact to the admiral michael mullen opinion

represents the bunker mentality and conventional wisdom conventional group think the only part of the u.s. military and intelligence committee 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 all for us 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 the 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. says identified gunmen were responsible for the deaths and this comes as the e.u. has introduced fresh sanctions against a masochist for its crackdown on protesters for more syrian companies and seven new

leaders call on politicians to support slashing spending if they want more rescue cash to be handed over the government will vote on a proposed to twenty billion euro budget cut over five years next week if approved it will mean a second bailout of twelve billion euro the money will save the country from defaulting on its debts an option the prime minister has repeatedly ruled out many argue that attempts to rescue greece are too little to wait that athens economic failure will leave the eurozone dream in tatters. the skeptics. i believe the euro is dead and buried. this is a funeral procession in the center of brussels where the european leaders are meeting to discuss the future of the greek debt 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 seeing bailouts billions

of pounds of taxpayers' money especially from the germans putting a lot of this bill and i think the public about enough of it and i think 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 unpopular 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. they'd be 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 wrong drawn by the rep a second time and if the greek parliament on tuesday except this package then this time next year i'll be talking to you on the bailout 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 didn't believe so and unfortunately for the european leaders the common europeans believe that the end of the euro is near . their english to 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 system beginning of the year there's hardly much sympathy for wall street high style flyers among high fliers rather ordinary americans but as financial journalists watch tell explains they should be concerned as a hints 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 being paid out last year and that was an issue there was 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 the numbers keep coming out suggesting that chokes on growing across the various sectors and i think that if there's not money being made on main straight. 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 still sharing her opinion on america's. financial plight but what the people in the streets think about these problems the residents talk show host laura harvest finds out in new york. all the latest data indicates the global economy is going limp are you personally affected this week let's talk about that have you felt the effects of a bad economy need a better job this economy's not get me a better job here desire to try to go to college and i can't because car my car gas

is all expensive at school so expensive so small in the vicious cycle is really bad but i'm happy because brazil is growing like for me it's good so is that kind of the way it goes when when some countries are hurting other countries can prosper more yeah greece is looking bad spain is looking bad but i feel like we're on the right. so they're just exaggerating not in greece and spain no no i feel like the reports in the us are i'm actually in the military so i do not feel that at all that's the only perk that i'm 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 the economy and we had. we had to cut back even more so we could take cruises you come to new york this. crucial first time in new york city today so that doesn't sound

like you're hurting that it sounds like you're doing ok we have a couple of other things do you think that we've seen the bottom of this crisis or are we headed for bread lines and even worse things that we've seen the bottom what is the bottom look like. well it was pretty bad during the great depression that is a bottom that we can compare it to i don't know if we'll 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. living standard i think we all have to go don whether or not you've been personally affected the bottom line at the global economy apparently continues to fall lads. and don't forget to check out our t. online we have a lot more news and eye catching videos on our website here's what's lined up for

dwell on the difficulties when to concede on the key thing is to talk about all the problems as soon as possible or the opportunity will be lost when there is no immediate response would be cautions and avoid actions that may get one of those hurt for example when the airplane engine failed we have avoided doing anything that could have gotten any of us hurt in any way so we don't have to airlift anybody else out of here we have avoided any risks until another airplane arrives when they need a system derived from unfortunate necessity which keeps those living and working in the face of danger and safe as possible in antarctica sean thomas. all he was called the father of the baltic revolution and though highly debated his role in russia's history cannot be underestimated a little later we retrace lennon's past in moscow.
