rosalyn jordan has more. >> the u.s. secretary of state used the sunday information shows, send egg troops into ukraine is illegal. >> you just don't invade another country on phony pretext in order to assert your interests. >> but the u.s. doesn't think that sending in troops of its own is the right response. instead washington and european nations are taking aim at things that matter to moscow. for example the g-8 summit in sochi. the u.s. has stopped its planning for the meetings and hinted it might not attend at all. what else is on the table? >> there could be ultimately asset freezes, visa bans, there could be disruption of any of the normal trade routine. there could be business drawback on investment, the rubel is already going down. >> ready to enact sanctions if that would solve the crisis. >> i think the congress is going to play a very important role if we believe it is necessary to tone down the military options in the ukraine. >> that business interests will pressure putin to think of the country's well-bei

rosalyn jordan is in washington, d.c.or us, and has more on this, good to see you, what is this change going to mean for these cases. >> well, basically, the status quo stays, tony, right now when someone has a complaint, that he or she has been sexually assaulted by someone else inside the military, the persons commanding officer is in charge of not only investigating but also has the ability in some cases, and it is quite controversy to overturn a decision should that person actually go before a court marshal and be convicted. of course, this is a very controversial decision, because there are many people in the u.s. senate where this vote took place, a couple of hours ago, who want to see a change, they feel that the military hasn't been taking the problem of sexual assault jeerly enough, and they say the only way for this to be stopped is to bring in civilian lawyers. what was the flash point for this, how do we get to this potion, where there was this legislation and debate. >> you would have thought it was the tails

first this report from rosalyn jordan. >> u.s. officials reportedly had considered intervening in the case of the morning glory, the commercial tanker that docked in libyan yah anlib -- libya with f dollars of oil attempted to be sold on the black market. however a u.s. official told reporters on monday that this sort of intervention could not have happened without the express request of the libyan government as it happened because the ship was in international waters near cypress, the cypriot government asked the u.s. to intervene. president obama did give the order and late sunday night europe tine the navy seals did take control of the ship board their ship, the scu u.s.s. roosevelt. the u.s.s. stout was already deployed in the eastern immediate strainan as parts of an ongoing military exercise excursion. the case will ostensibly dealt with by libyan authorities who struggled to maintain control of the oil industry centered in the eastern part of libya. >> how seal teams prepare for missions like this is robert du bois, a membe
