it's tuesday october twenty ninth eight pm in washington d.c. i'm in the area david in you're watching our t.v. we begin tonight with the continued fall out between the united states and the european union over allegations that the u.s. has been spying on its closest allies german officials have confirmed that the e.u. is now mulling over sanctions on the us government these sanctions would impede the u.s. government's access to a law enforcement tool mainly used to track the flow of money associated with terrorism but it seems the international leaks that incited this action are far from over journalist glenn greenwald now says there are many more ahead. through that all of these arguments there were never three. were there are arguments for which is most countries in the world. will be seen in brazil germany france and. spain in the states is going to repeat itself continuously for the next several weeks or months just every country around the world here in washington the tone took a very serious turn as senator dianne feinstein a vocal and us

foreign service as a says a washington keeps showing its war on terror is full of inconsistency. we should reasonably assume that within the u.s. government they have exactly the same data they know that the more that we attack harris the way that we're doing the more terrorism appears and so then the question is well if we're creating more terrorists who are into terrorism activities why are we doing it there's no sensible strategy there's no consistent logical strategy behind us actions we're taking things one piece at a time so here we support one group there we suppress the same group here we talk about terrorists and their we support terrorists in syria there's there's no real consistency in that that shows that that's very strong proof that there is no thought behind what we're doing. and as all coddling to militants push on away the offensive against the government in syria i'm all civilians not stepping forward a civil war volunteers. my family worries a lot but nothing is more precious than our country the homeland where i was raised coming up but we need a syrian woman

other powers and i think this is the classic double bind so washington is finding it so that the world a lot of this is embarrassment and i think this at the end of the snowden has also made clear that he's very sensitive to the security implications of what he also discloses and he's trying to demonstrate the problem of the surveillance state rather than the more sensitive material that might be arising in standard intelligence gathering procedures the place on a daily basis. we're closely watching all the developments related to the n.s.a. scandal here on araa to log on to our website to at r.t. dot com for the latest updates videos and expert analysis. america's spying practices are not the only issue on the minds of the european leaders gathered in brussels for the e.u. summit the massive flow of illegal immigrants a subsidy discussed a week after hundreds of people have drowned while trying to cross the mediterranean artie's paid all of our way to discover how days you are hardly welcomed to build their new lives away from home. we have feel we are not and the moment we have feeli

well i think there's enough blame to go around all of washington. it's a shame that is come to this point. our view i believe is that congress should work together to put forth a. bill that the president will be willing to sign so that we get the government up and running. there are many issues. as we understand that but veteran shouldn't be held hostage and should be used as pawns in the negotiations between congress and the white house obviously you're going to represent your guys but of course you could also have that argument with the parents maybe of sick children getting the life saving drugs etc all that's on hold at the moment shouldn't you be that you served your country another how deep this must have been should you be there to shoulder this problem along with everybody else well there's no doubt that a shutdown doesn't help anyone it's causes problems for everyone in the country obviously we're veterans advocates so our main concern is how our veterans and especially ill and injured veterans that have problems associated with their milit

in washington sam sacks are two. and may feel like the distant past now but it was only three days ago that the u.s. government was on the brink of disaster the country was hanging on a ledge as it neared closer and closer to defaulting on its trillion dollar debt default that could have triggered an economic collapse and reinvigorated a global financial meltdown but despite the stakes being so high lawmakers in washington seemed more concerned about serving their political agendas instead using the political deadlock to force each other to make tough decisions it's a crisis driven approach that president obama called attention to earlier this week i want to thank the leadership for coming together and getting this done. hopefully next time. it won't be in the eleventh hour one of the things that i said throughout this process is we've got to get out of the habit of governing by crisis . but it goes beyond just a poor strategy to get things done in washington this brinkmanship is starting to have a real effect on the

european union think tank the bruges group in london says that washington's been a rock in the whole place when it comes to solving the crisis. the common crisis with the shutdown in of the us government and public servants not being paid that will harm economic growth undoubtedly just raising the debt ceiling is not an answer that will just store up further trouble and will be the same situation just a few years down the line again there was a similar crisis in two thousand and eleven where the. on its debts then corso led to a downgrade in u.s. debt since then boiling costs for america have actually or did actually decrease but of course we've now just two years later again we're seeing the same thing happen and it's just lazy. just maine just further down the line they'll be severe problems america has very severe financial problems by using the seating is not an answer but of course i see as we've seen in the european union doesn't work either so america is even for be difficult economic position. much more government must now shut down until congress funds or get. people involve

but they've shut down monuments they've done things like in washington d.c. near where i work they've shut down a boat house and now they have two cop station there to shut keep the parking lot shut they didn't need two cops before so they're actually wasting money spending more money to so-called shut down the government which is actually just a reduction in spending and to do this they're wasting more money it's really just a joke it's they should really get serious about doing what the american people in the american economy needs which is cut reckless government overspending we need to cut it dramatically immediately now and this is what they're refusing to do we can certainly start by defunding obamacare and of course how will this whole thing affect america's reputation as the walls leading economic power well depends on who you talk to other politicians in the world may buy into this theater because they want to keep their budgets high in their countries as well but people around the world don't want big government they want peace they want small gover
