are just going to count as more from washington 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 a showing the behavior of the us congress saying that many lawmakers don't miss a chance to snub the president yet knowing that this novice 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 show their frustration over the white house refusal to come to the lawmakers to seek authorization for the military actions under the u.s. constitution only congress can declare war except the obama administration doesn't call it a war although it last more than three months and involves many civilian deaths earlier this month the congressman had a chance to send an even stronger message the house debated

a resolution from congressman dennis kucinich that calls for an immediate end to the u.s. involvement believe and the majority of lawmakers again though they know who 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 kids also the voices of the american people the majority of whom are against the u.s. involvement in libya 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 winner is quite shocked 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.

the heads of the u.s. center for constitutional rights and michael ratner sas 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 just principally a legal issue of the 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 memory despite the fact we're not losing soldiers who are getting sick and tired of war the former finance minister and hosni

mubarak's ousted egyptian government has reportedly found safe haven and the u.k. and that's despite the fact he's been sentenced in absentia to thirty years in jail for corruption profiteering at of using state assets by cairo court or his lawyer am it looks of why the u.k. sheltering senior figures from their regime at the same time as a publicly backs the arab spring. when egypt erupted 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 calling she wanted. because it is a long time now that the british government allowing people running oil not just from asia from all over the world boutros ghali is just one the former finance

minister instead of beginning a thirty year prison sentence for embezzle meant 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 that's been extorted 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 but secondly we do have a very strong tradition in this country of upholding international law and i want to see that continue i don't want the current government to neglect that you too 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. what is going to be would not have a problem to getting to 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 with your 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 she's 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 here tapes in diaspora in the u.k. it's called a million strong benefits here in london to a community to say that people assume angry there is no guarantee be took ali will stay safe here and the only if you remain the more you pay lousy big queues to pull

a large percentage of new immigrants preparing to leave. the story because he is or was a stubborn to become a shill for the jewish group of europe becomes the shell of the. best of my faith 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 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 big off of the

suicide bombings when 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 this leading israeli journalist gideon levy that people are tired of living in a war zone. racing it's leadership on creating. the frying and the comparing against anything and the payoff is a population that feels unsafe with one eye on europe. damn the sun 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 of faith of the truth in world war two. the one who are favored were the ones who got the wired report

conventional u.s. war tactics have yielded few tangible results. if anybody was impressed by a bronco bamma 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 announced moment and on the other side there was so much apprehension regarding there we action from the u.s. military and from vox populi as far as the military is concerned it was mostly limited only to armchair commandos stand the u.s. secretary of defense robert gates in fact to the admiral michael mullen opinion represents the bunker mentality the conventional wisdom of 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 all for us uphill battle in afghanistan it turns out that ninety percent of the failure to have a conventional force is due to conventional thinking. well at least fifteen people have been killed in a store in afghanistan after a suicide car bomb blast outside of the clinic forty five others are reported injured some are in a critical condition it's thought that a clinic in a log our province treats mainly women and children and this is as we've been reporting just after barack obama announced a partial troop pullout from afghanistan. eleven on the leader of has vos as a group has captured three spies among its low level members it's claimed two of them were recruited by the cia although the agents were not considered

leaders call in politicians to support slashing spending if they want more rescue cash to be handed over the government 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 the money will save the country from defaulting on its debts an option the prime minister has repeatedly ruled out but many argue that attempts to rescue greece are too little too late and that athens second omics failure will leave the eurozone dream in tatters our kids are in english the skeptics will believe the euro was dead and 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 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 red sea in 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. 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 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 bail 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 on the be a third 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 every englishman 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 already been cut since the beginning of the year there's hardly much sympathy for wall street high flyers among ordinary americans but as financial journalist casa watch telly explains they should be concerned as hints at a new low for the us economy. i think that 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 numbers keep coming

out suggesting that growing across various sectors and i think that if there's not money being made on main street. kind of a fix find the financial sector as well and if you're not making money trading in these banks can keep the bankers on now as a business insider concha what still sharing her opinion on america's shuttering financial plight but what do people in the streets think about these problems the resident talk show host laurie horrorfest 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 the bad economy need a better job of this economy is not given you a better job yeah exactly try to go to college and then i can because car my car gas is all expensive at school so expensive so it's money 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 i would say that's the number 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 to cut back or we had to cut back even more so we could take cruises you 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 haven't 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 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. the 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. well don't forget to check out our team online we have a lot more news and eye catching videos on our website here's what's lined up for you right now at. a model by any other name correspondents found on the lot of this compound reveals
