mission street now in the palm of your. machine. called. the. u.s. congress refuses to authorize president obama's military intervention in libya but stopped short of cutting off funding for the campaign. they backed the revolution so why are they sheltering the guards gronings the u.k.'s under fire as a top official wanted in egypt for fraud is ordered leave living in london. british transport or european passport is a doorway to opportunity. and pulling out of the promised land more and more israelis are considering immigrating accusing the government of failing to make their country a safe home. it

is not i am in moscow you're watching r t joshie the u.s. congress has refused to grant president obama also already to continue the military campaign in libya but 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 he's got it should 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 annalise see elements of the showing the behavior of the us congress saying that many lawmakers don't miss a chance to snub the president yet knowing that this is not

a small 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 show their frustration 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've last more than three months and involves many civilian deaths earlier this month the congressmen 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 u.s. involvement and the majority of lawmakers again voted no to that proposal nevertheless the lawmakers don't like being ignored but even those who truly want to stand up against the military actions in libya there is little they 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 it's also the voices of the american people the majority of whom are against the u.s. involvement in libya there is 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 for weeks now and there's fear that certain inertia develops in a public perception with regards to the war in libya inertia which some say could be very dangerous. reporting there now the head of the center for constitutional. writes 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 the issue is obviously once a war starts you're in the middle of supporting nato when it's our operation it's much harder caracal but the president didn't go to congress he's constitutionally required to get 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 having 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 that i think obama looks like a real fool when you sit 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 guilt or illegal acts and yes oh well it in the constitution is an ancient rule of thirds if and when congress ever got. the foreign minister of arts ousted egyptian government has reportedly found safe haven in the u.k. that's despite the fact has been sentenced in absentia to thirty years in jail for

corruption profiteering and abusing state assets by a cairo court artist laura and it looks of live the u.k. sheltering senior figures from the regime at the same time as a publicly supports the arab spring. when egypt abruptly into violence at the start of the year the u.k. was among the first to support the uprising out with the old dictatorship and in with a new era of democracy the old guard was swept aside but many running in fear for their lives ran straight to a new life in london and the local egyptian community is horrified angry disappointed some of them call it she won in glens. because it is a long time now that the british government be allowing people running oil not just from egypt from all over the world used to trust goalie is just one the former finance minister instead of beginning a thirty year prison sentence for embezzle months in egypt he said to be running around london

a free man 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 under the slaughter has demanded the british government does something about it but it's disappointed by the response but expect to see some more action both against the money and other goods that's been extorted from egypt and other. arab countries but also get fugitives from justice in this country and that's what i feel pressing to cover here today exactly we do have a very strong tradition in this country of upholding international law and i want to see that continue right when the current government can elect that you take many think they're already negligent in beatrice kali's case an international arrest warrant has reportedly been issued by egypt but critics feel money and connections secure a ticket to freedom in the u.k. but is very would not have

a brougham to get into the united kingdom for so many reasons and the simplest one of them is the money has got i mean you can get to remain resume money in the u.k. if your money. it is clear meanwhile in egypt people aren't surprised england they say is where corrupt middle eastern officials go to hide she's not a stranger to the west very much one of the wits men in egypt who was one of the west's men an agent so that he's found refuge in london is not surprising to anybody the chips in diaspora in the u.k. is a million role tends to kids learn to community to say that people assume i'm great it's no guarantee took ali will stay safe and the if you remain the more you pay allows itself to be accused of hypocrisy pledging support for the middle east and the pro-democracy movement well let me. bring that to the old great great see

you were at makati. and asked plenty more still account of the program here's a quick taste of what's ahead why some new tactics think that european currency has no future and have decided to bury it quite literally. plus we will have what it takes to work and survive in antarctica one of the most dangerous environments on the planet. it's a state created for millions of jewish people from all over the world to call their home but now growing numbers of israelis are lining up to leave fears over security mean many are opting for either you or american citizenship to meet their expectations of a promised land policy or has the story. rachel shites has no reason to like germany she was born a before the second world war and within six years had been expelled and most of her family killed but the irony is she now wants a german passport. another join citizenship to help my children and grandchildren which might be shocking if it wasn't so common in israel today in the

last decade some thirty thousand 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. because he was a stubborn to become a shoot. through europe because the show. of the true sleeping it's. this is my face the american heart of tel aviv here you'll hear more english than hebrew and you'll be forgiven for thinking or if 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 i would never give them a canadian and i probably would give up my israeli the american i wouldn't give up because i have family. i want to go to go there anytime british passport or european passport is a doorway to opportunity 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 the peak of the bombings when there was a feeling of insecurity so yes there was an increase in immigration and in command 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 this leading israeli journalist gideon levy their people are tired of living in a war zone. releasing its own creating all the. feel of the coup against anything and the payoff is a population that feels unsafe with one eye on europe. damis time has processed nearly five thousand applications for a second passport in the last ten years that works out at about forty passports

a month and he's only one lawyer working in the field but in world war two the one who are were the one who got the wide berth for the lotion who. can help you move. out of danger zone when you do it every year more choose to leave as well for europe and the skates then the other way around one in five or so if you choose has a really returned home and with no israeli palestinian peace talks on the horizon and a growing israeli and security of our arab demonstrations on the doorstep the so-called insurance passport is unlikely to lose popularity any time soon policy r.t. tell of of as the us is looking for a way out of galveston not everyone is happy with president obama's troops withdrawal plan pulling out ten thousand soldiers by the end of the year and twice

as many by next summer is considered premature by military commanders but not fast . for anti-war activists are his military contributor says despite staying in the country for ten years conventional u.s. war tactics have yielded few tangible results. if anybody was impressed by a brock obama speech regarding the tempo and scale of u.s. forces withdraw from afghanistan it was afghan president hamid karzai own the one side and the afghan leader was a happy camper regarding the american president announced meant and on the other side there was so much after hanchen regarding there we action from the u.s. military and from vox populi as far as the military prevention is concerned it was mostly limited only to armchair commandos stand 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 the only 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 both of us uphill battle in afghanistan it turns out that ninety percent of the failure comes to the conventional forces due to conventional thinking. now let's take a look at some other stories from around the world thousands of anti-government protesters have marched across syria with at least fifteen people killed in separate cities after security forces fired on crowds syrian state t.v. says identify gunmen were responsible for the deaths this comes as the e.u. has introduced fresh sanctions against a masters for its crackdown on protesters for more syrian companies and seven new

individuals were added to the black list topped by president bush and his brother. eleven and the leader of hezbollah says the group has captured three spa is among its low level members it's claims two of them were recruited by the cia although the agents were not considered a serious threat to the movement the u.s. embassy the country has dismissed the militant group's claims as empty accusations . new york lawmakers have voted to legalize same sex marriage the decision stands hundreds of people to the streets to celebrate what they described as a victory for civil rights new york has become six american states were gay couples are officially allowed to marry and have families comes after president obama encourage lawmakers to support the rights of sexual minorities. to greece now where people are facing tax rises and fresh cost of services as e.u.

leaders calling politicians to support slashing spending if they want more aggressive cash to be handed over the government will vote on a proposed 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 and up option the prime minister has repeatedly ruled out may argue that attempts to rescue result too little too late and that athens economic failure will leave the euro zone dream in tatters. and the skeptics who believe the euro is dead and very. 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 reason or action 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 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 in part unpopular in the country and that presents a major challenge for the greek government right immediately after it has just been reshuffled the leaders are you know that was really 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 drum but around the second time if the greek parliament on tuesday except this package then this time next year i'll be talking to you i will be a third bailout so while the european leaders are extremely excited about the fact that the future of the year old 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 their english growth one and they're now on the other side of the atlantic things are looking to front to see their banker as are being laid off in huge numbers almost twelve thousand jobs have already been cut since the beginning of the year and there's hardly much sympathy for wall street high flyers among ordinary americans but it's financial journalist culture watchdogs claims they should be concerned as it 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 but 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 caving bonuses the fact now that they're not making money shows that perhaps the economy isn't growing as fast as they thought it was the numbers keep

coming out suggesting that child's on growing across various sectors and i think that if there's not money being made on main street that usually kind of affects finance the financial sector as well and if you're not making money trading then these banks can keep the bankers on that as business insider cards i watched all sharing her opinion on america's stuttering financial plight but what do people in the streets think about these problems the residents talk show host laura harvest find 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 a better job this economy is not 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. is really bad but i'm happy

because brazil is growing like armies good so it's that kind of kuwait when some countries are hurting other countries can prosper more yeah. spain is looking bad i feel like we're on the right. so they're just exaggerated not in greece and spain no no i feel like the reports on us are i'm actually in the military so i do not feel that at all that's the only per annum one for my job i think paychecks for five years yeah 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 economies but. we have come back even more so we could take cruises to come to new york this. crucial first time in new york city today so that doesn't sound like you're hurting bad it sounds like you're doing ok with a lot of other things 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 of the bottom look like. well it was pretty bad during the great depression 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 on 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 are each country have to lower their their expectations of. the living standard i think we all have to go down whether or not you've been personally impacted the bottom line at the global economy apparently continues to thaw plaids. question if you live from moscow on don't forget to check out our t. online and we have a lot more news and eye catching videos there on our web site archie dot com but here's what's lined up for you there right now. think al qaida by any other name

it was rolling around. in that day between us. that we're rolling around. trying to make a good rather. guess here the crew of this ship was able to pull through the tempest and even work with nearby stations to repair their damaged vessel but they were lucky operating in such a remote environment means that replacement parts aren't always available and the workers here have to make do with what they can and it's pretty hard to get here good equipment to get here sophisticated equipment so why don't want to show interest to try to make your break science was a very small amount of. very what. is considered one of the most men's on the planet and because of this operating down here. we can be downright deadly during the same storm the crew from that little boy until this base lost one

of their team when a jeep wall down an embankment into a frigid antarctic lake. but it was most difficult experience in my career in such moments i start to think that god just wants us to try it out here. but in antarctica time is a valuable commodity and work crews have limited time to prepare the base for winter after the accident happened we didn't even have time to make a stop was the moment required to stop to think to express compassion we have to go on with our work which we finished at about four am the next day the incident sparked an outpouring of international support from the surrounding bases but in a twist all too appropriate for the harsh realities of working in antarctica the chilean air force plane that was to airlift. the body back to south america suffered an explosion in the left engine as it was taking off the pilots on board of hurting another field tragedy. still the southern continent doesn't provide the

opportunity to dwell on the difficulties when it was the key things all the problems as soon as possible the opportunity will be lost when there is no immediate response to precautions and avoid actions that me get one of those hurt for example on the airplane engine field we have or doing anything that could have gotten any of us hurt in any way so we don't have the air lift anybody else here we avoid any results until another airplane arrives on the system derived from unfortunate necessity which keeps those living and working in the face of danger and safe as possible in antarctica shantaram is. how he was called the father of also gravel ocean and the highly debated his role in russia's history cannot be underestimated and a little later we'll retrace lance bass in austin. or
