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 winner squash out 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 then it should come there and the head of the u.s. center for constitutional rights michael ratner says president obama is staking his political career on the war in libya. the perspective i have and 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 all operation it's much harder to cut off the funding and i think you're seeing a really strong opposition building to the war what's interesting is that i think obama looks like he made a real mistake 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 i'm this principally

a legal issue oh it really reflects the underlying discomfort right now with this war and i think there's tremendous discomfort despite the fact that costs are nothing compared to afghanistan america straight to fair we're not losing soldiers you by getting sick and tired of war in the form of finance minister in a hostile mubarak's ousted egyptian government has reportedly found safe haven in the u.k. that's despite the fact he's been sentenced in absentia to thirty years in jail for corruption profiteering and abusing state assets by cairo court parties or am of the looks of why the u.k. sheltering senior figures from the regime at the same time as a publicly backs the arab spring. when egypt abrupt it 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 shame when in the end. because it is a long time now with the british government being. people running oil not just from egypt from all over the world. goalie is just one the former finance minister instead of beginning a thirty year prison sentence for embezzlement 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 p. andris slaughter has demanded the british government does something about it but is disappointed by the response but expect to see some more action both against the money and other goods has been extorted from egypt and other. arab countries but

also against fugitives from justice in this country and that while still pressing to govern here to protect it we do have a very strong tradition in this country of upholding international law and i want to see that continue i do want the current government to neglect that you take many think they're already negligent in boutros ghali 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. it is going to be would not have approved them 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 leave to remain with your money in the u.k. if your money. we are meanwhile in egypt people aren't surprised england they say is where corrupt middle eastern officials go to high she's not a stranger to the west very much one of the websites men in egypt was one of the

worst men in egypt so that he's found refuge in london is not surprising to anybody the egyptian diaspora in the u.k. is called the million dollar benefits here in london to a community need to say that people assume i agree there's no guarantee took ali will stay safe here in the u.k. remains the more the u.k. allows itself big queues to pull chrissy pledging support for the middle east and for a democracy movement while simultaneously bringing to the oh great great see your avatar take on the. well there's plenty more still to come on the program here's a quick taste of what's ahead why some euro skeptics things that european currency has no future and have decided to bury it quietly literally. plus look at what it takes to work and survive in antarctica one of the most dangerous environments on the planet. after conquering the world of business one of russia's richest man may

help rob her of his sat aside on politics has been elected the leader of the right cause political party known to be and today was the country's business elite a billion or says he's go with to take second place in the samaras parliamentary elections after the ruling united russia party probs future fortune is estimated at eighteen billion dollars he's thirty second on the forbes list oh yes and the jersey nets basketball team is also considered russia's most eligible bachelor. 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 you or american citizenship to meet their expectations of a promised land policy has a story. rachel shites has no reason to like germany she was born there before the

second world war and within six years had been expelled and most of her family killed but the irony is she now once a german passport. was a german 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 fifty 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 it's really. the story because it is or was a stubborn to become a shelter for the jewish people now europe becomes the shell of the juice leaking 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 i have good eighty and 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 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 of suicide bombings and there was a feeling of insecurity so yes there was an increase both 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 is leading israeli journalist gideon levy that people are tired of living in a war zone the israeli leadership basing its leadership on creating. fear

frying. against anything and the payoff is a population that feels unsafe with one eye on europe. damis son 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 the fate of the jewel in world war two the one who are favored were the ones who got very poor full version is that if you can get a paper that can help you to move. out of danger zone then you do it every year more jews leave israel for europe and the states then the other way around one in five or so if you choose has already returned home and with no israeli palestinian peace talks on the horizon and growing israeli and security about the arab demonstrations on the doorstep this so-called insurance passport is unlikely to lose popularity any time soon pointlessly r.t.

tell of of as the us is looking for a way out of afghanistan and everyone is happy with president obama's troop 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 enough for anti-war activist 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 apprehension regarding their 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 thing because only part of the u.s. military and intelligence committee 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. you're watching r t to greece now where people are facing tax rises and fresh cuts to services call in

politicians to support slashing spending if they want more rescue cash to be handed over the governments will vote on a proposed twenty eight billion euro budget cut over five years next week if approved it will mean a second bailout of twelve billion euro and the mine 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 too late and that athens anomic failure leave the eurozone dream in tatters artie's or an englishwoman skeptics who will win if you are 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 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 red sea and 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've had enough of it 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 reshuffled the leaders all 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 bail out first time they're wrong drawn by the rope 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 do not believe so and unfortunately for

the european leaders the common europeans believe that the end of the euro is near . reporting there and on the other side of the atlantic things aren't looking too promising either bankers are being laid off in huge numbers almost twelve thousand jobs have report 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 as financial journalists cut a watch tell explains 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 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

a fast as i thought it was the numbers keep coming out suggesting that jobs on growing across 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 business insider concert watch tell sharing her opinion on america's stuttering financial plight but what have people in the streets think about these problems the resident talk show host laurie harshness 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 need a better job this economy is not giving me a better job here desire to try to go to college and then i can because car my car

gas is all expensive at school so expensive so it's on 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 sprain 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 u.s. are i'm actually in the military so i do not feel it 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. but we had to come back even more so we could take cruises to come to new york this. crucial british 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 to cut back on a lot 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 the 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 as the global economy apparently continues to fall flat so. don't forget to check out our t. online we have a lot more news and eye catching videos on our website but here's what's lined out for you right now at our team dot com. all kind of any other name

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 it is pretty hard to get here good equipment to get here sophisticated equipment so. one challenge is to try to make your big science was a very small amount of equipment because of the hearts and three weather conditions that there is considered one of the most dangerous environments on the planet and because of this operating down here logistically it can be more than a convenience it can be downright deadly during the same storm the crew from that little guy on t.v.'s base lost one of their team when a jeep well down an embankment into a frigid antarctic lake. that was the most difficult experience in my career in such moments i start to sing that good just once is to try is 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 which the moment required a stop to think to express compassion we had 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 fatal tragedy by a matter of seconds still the southern continent doesn't provide the opportunity to dwell on the difficulties when the key thing is all problems as soon as possible or the opportunity will be lost when there is no immediate response because shien's and avoid actions that me get one of those hurt for example when the airplane engine field 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 here we have void in your
