according to a reuters poll, only 25% would support a military intervention. 45% oppose it, 49% don'tnow enough to answer. so dell, what is the objective of any military strike by the u.s.? the u.s. on record for more than a year calling for the assad regime to go but if this were to go forward, the objective would be to suppress the ability to deliver councilmember a call weapons and nothing more. >> you are now in washington and i was there yesterday and one of the things that is curious to the american public is we think all of washington is talking about syria and egypt. the truth of the matter is what they are talking about and i had a feeling yesterday that it was about back-to-school sales? >> yes, if you are going to do something in the rush hour, do it in late day and out of rush hour. the talk on the sunday shows today, largely about syria but also about the martin martin luther king anniversary as well. there doesn't seem to be a lot of focus and the principle point i should make here is congress has been out the last five weeks. they don't come back till september 9th. a l

reuters news agency saying the syrian opposition has now been told to expect a strike within days.n the ground in syria, the un inspection team has postponed any ongoing investigations due to safety concerns. >>> earlier this morning the syrian foreign min ster had this to say. >> translator: we are all hearing the drums of war being beaten around us. if these countries are willing to deliver an attack against syria, i believe the use of chemical weapons is baseless and groundless. >> we go now to david jackson who is standing by in lebanon. david, what are you hearing about these reports that military action in syria could happen very soon? >> well, del, most people here expected that. they thought it would come sooner than later, and there is a contingent here that wants it to be sooner than later. the government is nervously awaiting what will happen, and saying if it is a serious large attack, it can just destabilize the region. but in the street-level population, which covers both sides of the issue somewhat here, both sides expect there will be an attack, and it will be a cru

reuters also says that the s.o.d. information from intel intercepts like wiretap, iran formants. this massive database of telephone records and they funnel that stuff to officials right across the country. some of the legal experts are saying this a program that violates any defendant's constitutional right to a fair trial. but look, we lie all the time and it's legal to lie when you're trying to solve crimes if you're a cop. so i want to get a little bit deeper on this with the person who did the investigation in the first place. john shift moin is the co-author of the reuters report and joining us again is brian kabateck. john, i tried best i could to boil this down, but i want to get the essence of what this really means and why this matters to somebody, say, in poughkeepsie or in idaho watching right now. >> well, it matters because what the agents are doing is, it's not so much the way in which they conduct the investigations. it's the manner in which they hide what they're doing. so if you're in idaho and you ge

reuters says thanks to luxury jewelers in china reporting a 13% sales increase -- tiffanys has raisedits profit forecast for the year. this despite no uptick in tiffany's same store sales in the americas there had been concern that given the weakening in china's economy, luxury spending might tighten there. new numbers are out....revealing more about the state of the housing recovery. the case shiller index shows home prices increased in all major metropolitan areas, along with surges in las vegas and san francisco. home prices rose 0.9 percent nationwide in june. year over year prices are up 12.1%. overall -- prices are rising, but at a slower pace. that was jed kolko of real estate site trulia. the case shiller report out this month also notes there is a risk of momentum weakening in the housing recovery due to speculators n the market. attorneys for george zimmerman--are asking the state of florida to cover his legal fees. zimmerman was handed a not guilty jury ruling in the shooting death of trayvon martin, an african american teen who was walking through zimmerman's neighborhood.

the stake in coca-cola, reuters headline earlier, suggested it was down 45%. as we talked about on the air, none of that made sense to us, wanted to go through and run the numbers. a time consuming process. you have to go through with a calculator and add them all up. this is the actual situation. american express unchanged at berkshire hathaway. wells fargo up 1.1%. coca-cola unchanged. want to run through some of the other numbers, there are some issues, craft and mondelez looks like they have dropped their stake by 88% and kraft and monday louise probably not a surprise given the -- >> can i point out the most accurate thing this morning has been your intuition about what buffett is doing. when i read that headline and you said, that made no sense, and i'm looking at a headline, i'm, like, which do i believe, now i know which one to believe in the future. >> if you follow him, watch him over the years, you know you can change the stake like that. he did drop the stake in kraft and mondelez to 88%.

that's not what he said in his buena vista interview with reuters. you did this to my participant and now i'm going to really direct my efforts at britain. >> green wald, what's not in the tradition of traditional journalism. he's never really claimed to represent traditional journalism. he is a type of journalism that has a long tradition, especially in great britain where kind of you know, the more adversarial approach is quite common and is mainstream there. that's always been green wald's style. it worked for him in the sense that he got these ed snowden documents because he was so outspoken in his support of civil liberties. so you know, he's the one that is internationally acclaimed for that. it also comes with tons of draw backs because he has a ton of enemies in the journalistic world, david gregory openly asked him you know beak why aren't you in prison. and you know, so it does cost him support and it costs him some capital. but he's following the style that he has had his entire career. >> jonathan, are you at all troubled by the situation

well it's funny reuters the word reuters report came out saying obviously that they cannot confirm independently these events in jane's international also reported to reuters that it doesn't make any sense for the syrian government to deploy a chemical weapon only miles away from the very hotel that the u.n. weapons inspectors have booked into only a few days ago so they see this is a distraction and of course if we look at the history of this particular region the region where the attack this is said to take place is very active with the front and they've also been implicated in using makeshift chlorine bombs in aleppo back in march so there is a track record there the evidence unfortunately does not stack up with these present claims of the syrian government perpetrating these attacks and it's still clear why i think is that being pointed at the government of the syrian golan because this is a government which has chemical weapons don't. yes well again this is all to this point in the u.n. doe this is why the u.n. team is in damascus to investigate these claims unfortunately washington and lon

has been ratcheting up its rhetoric as well it's been reported by reuters that the u.s. navy was expanding its mediterranean presence with a fourth ship capable of launching long range subsonic cruise missiles to reach land targets in syria and now we also know from the white house that obama is weighing a military strike of limited scope and duration it's been said it will take no more than two days and involve the sea launched cruise missiles well as far as international law is concerned we know that up until this moment there has been no military operations in syria because there has been no agreement at the u.n. security council however now it seems that turkey britain and france are saying that they can have a villa to offer should even without the u.n. mandate of the french foreign minister along five you said set acting without the list possible and in some circumstances can be bypassed the box international law is defined by the u.n. now how exactly this will be interpreted will become clearer as we continue to follow this developing story around syria. well now

meaning the reuters journalists.ding to the statement, before the apaches opened fire, american troops were conducting a raid nearby when they were hit with small arms fire and rocket-propelled grenades. reuters conducts its own investigation and can find no one in the area who saw any clashes that day. one week later the news organization demands an official u.s. investigation. it also specifically requests access to the apache on board cameras and voice communications. all their requests are denied. the government makes no further comment on the incident until three years later when wikileaks, which had received a leaked copy of the classified video, releases it under the provocative title "collateral murder." >> the video is important in a number of ways. one of them is better scrutiny of how pilots behave when they fire on people. >> they released it in a couple different forms. they released it both in a long form, then a more concise form where the high points, if you will, were highlighted during the incident.

reuters agency has its initial could you tell me again if the u.n. inspectors will find the evidence of using vehicle weapons by also the regime will russia reconsider its position and maybe vote for military intervention into syria in the security council or maybe abstain in the security council as it happened in libya case and secondly does russia have a plan b. if u.s. begins to military intervention into syria is the russia ready to use other forces besides diplomatic statements to protect its stance as well the questions of if are not used. at press conferences i'll just like to make it clear one thing the experts which are now in syria. have the mandate to determine where the future three use of chemical talk scenes for begun by international conventions took place and what were the agents they are not mandated to carry out the verdict about who uses these huge agents government forces or one of the multiple opposition groups be that the free will.

american citizens although these cases rarely involve national security issues documents reviewed by reuters show that law enforcement agents have been directed to how on how to conceal these investigations and how they truly begin and they are told to conceal this information not only from defense lawyers but also from prosecutors and judges now the documents show that federal agents are trained to recreate the investigative path in order to effectively cover up where the information came from this is a practice that some experts say violated defendants constitutional rights to a fair trial now without knowing exactly how an investigation began defense lawyers are working with their hands tied behind their backs and it's close to impossible for the defendant to know what evidence to revisit and which potential sources to review all of which could reveal mistakes biased witnesses or entrapment on the part of the prosecution now this d.a. program has been dubbed the special operations division or s.o.g. and it's comprised of over two dozen partnership agencies including the f.b.i. cia n.s.a.
