unprecedented size of the fine has left some wondering why a b.m.p. party bar should have to pay so much the biggest savva a penalty paid by banks so far was a fine of almost two billion dollars handed out to britain's h.s.b.c. but the french giant could eclipse that amount paying almost five times as much we as journalists robert harneys why france is facing such tough measures he thinks washington is actually punishing paris for refusing to cancel its contract to sell mistral warships to russia. my own conclusion i have no proof of this but my own conclusion is it's to do with the sale of warships to russia this is a sharp rap over the knuckles for the french government for insisting on continuing of the sale of the beast of all ships to russia i look at the sequence of events and i draw their conclusions it just goes to show that it's a very expensive defying. the bank has accepted it because they want to go on doing business in america but i think when people have time to think they're not going to

asian got its wish to federal court released a two thousand and ten amendment by ben acting assistant attorney general david baron but it outlined the legal case for the strike that killed a lockheed unsurprisingly the obama administration memo relies almost entirely on the authorization for use of military force a broadly worded law passed in the immediate wake of september eleventh that allows the president to use force against members of al-qaeda but even the memo notes that quote there is no precedent directly addressing the question in circumstances such as those present here but hey laws are meant to be broken even if it means completely dismantling over three hundred years of habeas corpus. up next many young people are failing to find financial security even after graduating from college and eight explains why and boom bust right after the break .
