u.s. congress have the se of his or in front of them they think political survival they think campaign money that's it i mean the congress is israeli occupied territory so this time live moment of course has been the u.s. senate took from israel the prime u.s. senator from israel for many many years no surprises there because no surprises in the whole spectacle which is what i have to expect any political movement to get past the u.s. congress beneficial to the situation in the middle east is totally impossible but let's talk about this i mean you mentioned that a lot of these senators you know politicians really across the board here in the u.s. they do get a lot of their funding from a pac the american israel public affairs committee there a very powerful lobby here a very powerful group but there are so many other powerful groups and lobbies here in washington why is it do you think that these politicians really really feel i mean there's got to be some other reasons ideological or whatever that they really feel the need to stand in the corner of israel time and time again well the ideolo

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 we 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 didn't leap year 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 of a.

u.s. congress has refused to grant president obama sortied to continue the military campaign in libya butthe very same lawmakers have turned down a motion to cut funding for the american action in the country the votes are being seen as largely symbolic as a white house says it doesn't need congressional approval for them.

u.s. supreme court has determined that members of congress do not have standing to file such a suit and this is where it hits a dead end and it makes many wonder whether or not u.s. lawmakers actually have the capacity to effectively represent the people. kind of in washington israel has been holding back millions of dollars of palestinians money leaving thousands of people without any wages it's tax revenue that's supposed to be passed back to the palestinian people but since the political groups hamas and fatah reconciled the payments stopped being meeting some of those who are suffering at the shop and. i look we are we've gone to the palestinian ministry of finance his job is to check everything that comes into this building but he has no control over what goes out least of all his salary which is paid by the ministry and sometimes comes long overdue if my salary comes later it's like my life starts i simply cannot do anything i have a wife and four children to feed and when i don't get paid on time it makes lots of problems for me and my family. i want to cleave the ministry gets its mo

u.s. congress has the right to declare war that's been whittled down as we all know for the past sixty or seventy years congress adopted the war powers act in one nine hundred seventy three saying the government must report within sixty days to the congress and to get approval from congress for the continuation of military hostilities that's what we see happening now in congress the obama administration has mounted an absurd defense against its requirement to comply with the war powers act saying the bombing of another country in this case libya doesn't constitute quote hostilities as associated normally with war which of course is just an upside down version of reality will congress do it historically congress has been very weak in the face of executive power but the american people by a margin of two to one now according to the recent polls are against the war were sponsoring and people are having antiwar activities all over the united states starting this week live from the u.s. capitol brought back a thanks very much indeed for talking to us here on r.t. . to work in some of the world'

u.s. congress, which has exclusive rights to declare war, and a u.s. president who is commander in chief and who has deployed military forces where he sees fit, as have generations of u.s. presidents before barack obama. specifically on libya, they are arguing over the war powers resolution, which sets a total time clock of 90 days for the president to seek authorization from congress for military action. 90 days will be up on sunday. but barack obama is essentially arguing the resolution does not apply in this case because he says what america is doing in libya does not amount to hostilities and warfare in the classic sense. he argues no american boots are on the ground. american soldiers are not exchanging fire with libyans. the u.s. is simply providing logistical support at this stage. the republican leadership is calling that pre-emptive. there are lawyers attempting to take barack obama to court over this issue. my instinct is he will push ahead. nothing will change on sunday. america will stay involved with libya. but the president will have an u

u.s. house of representatives has voted down a measure giving barack obama the authority to continue american military action in libya but it's seen as a merely symbolic falling out between congress and the president as the house later rejected the bill to come funding for the campaign. declassified documents reveal the u.k. was happy to hand over terror suspects to the u.s. with little regard to what will be waiting for them in secret prisons once under washington's jurisdiction hundreds ended up being tortured and abused without trial . mourning the year over the fate of the common currency is in serious doubts as europe agrees on another bailout the debt laden agrees but urges the country to get behind savage spending cuts however some experts argue it's too late as the euro already has both feet in the great. class the former prime minister of ukraine goes on trial for abuse of power of the country millions of dollars. faces up to ten years behind bars if convicted in kenya. that friends of mine would join me for more on those stories in fifteen minutes from now in the meantime let's check out the sport news with natasha. this is live sports news on our team and here are the

u.s. congress a resolution was passed highly critical i will watch president obama has done since the going started. and so i think there is a division in washington and perhaps in the west in general and sort of measure it's very difficult for the u.s. and its major allies britain and france to accept any kind of success. because they have repeatedly said that so one can only recall who is leaving office maybe. the other one that we have signs that it is perhaps their action also when gadhafi and the rebels some of the rebel leaders who were in. discussions with the day to leave as well as first week of so that they also talked with authorities some i'm sure you have a. who is in charge of the politics on the ground in libya going through we decided not necessarily. looters would like. on our web site r.t. dot com we want to know how do you think libya's deadlock can be resolved so far nearly two thirds think nato should withdraw admitting that it daffy has run fifty percent say thanks and continue as they are until the conflict eventually ends a lead and percent think only ground forces w

u.s. congress saying that many lawmakers they'd need a chance to snub the president yet knowing that this knobs 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 supportive they're not the most anti-war people that's for sure they're right. bill they want to support the holes voting against funding of course it did as we've just been talking about polls that motion to the bottom of your sources continue without operation in libya but the question is how much of a four does this really represent between congress and the president. but we see at the resolution that the earlier was a way for the congress to sort of roll their frustration over the white house refusal to come to the lawmakers to seek authorization for the military action on to the us constitution only congress can declare war except the obama administration doesn't call it a war although it lasts more than three months involves many civilian deaths by the way earlier this month they had a very chance to send an even stronger message the house the beta
