u.s. financial system to the most vulnerable countries in europe is limited, we have substantial trade and investment tries with europe and european stability matters greatly for american exporters and for american jobs. already the crisis has slowed growth significantly in europe and around the world as increased uncertainty and red e reduced risk appetite, undermine business and consumer confidence and reduced household wealth. there are downside risk to the outlook for the u.s. economy and job creation. it is vitally important to the united states that europe is able to address its issues effectively and in a timely fashion. for this reason the administration has closely engaged with european leaders to encourage them to move forward in an effective way. at the same time, our supervisors have for some time been working closely with the u.s. financial institutions to identify risks and to improve their ability to withstand a variety of contagion events emanating from europe. in managing

cases of u.s. military personnel killing innocent civilians what was this a result of i think overall occupant. keeping some u.s. three moves through the new iraq you're using. just u.s. weapons it would be hard against don't think munity because as you mentioned that have been a long list of crimes that were committed killing civilians with no accountability and so the government although they would like to actually give them immunity is so much public pressure and go to so much more limited pretty resistant to the idea of granting immunity to the u.s. troops because of the so many crimes that were committed and i do want to remind some people and put up some facts and figures of the actual cost of war take a look at these figures those serving in the u.s. military in iraq came home injured from iraq more than thirty two thousand also u.s. military deaths in iraq almost forty five hundred can't forget though the big the biggest figure fifty thousand iraqi civilian deaths most people estimate that

steps but i think there are limited responses that the u.s. can have of course the u.s. can also use covert operations to do sinister things to the iranian regime and of course the u.s. has many are more resources to do that than the iranians do that's why this whole thing doesn't seem to add up that the iranians would actually be foolish enough to do something like this. it doesn't hold out up well that's certainly what the iranians are saying and that dismissing it as a bit of a whole thing is a comedy act almost these accusations but they're also saying that. washington is actually trying to cover up its own domestic problems trying to divert attention from the economic problems that experiencing at the moment throughout the states would you agree with that. well i do i kind of doubt that actually because the obama administration is sophisticated enough to know that even something like this is probably not unless they're actually blew off a bomb or something is not going to take people's attention away from the economy and that's what the election is going to be about

the u.s. aims to unite the world against iran that's what we hear from the officials here they are talking about the need to completely isolate iran in the international community vice president joe biden for example said the u.s. action against iran could go beyond sanctions but added that we are not going there yet that's a quote we're getting reports that the u.s. might raise the issue at the u.n. security council and generally a lot of tough words in washington these days the u.s. administration strongly believes in the case against this iranian born man also a u.s. citizen months for our bob seger who is accused of trying to plot the assassination of the saudi ambassador in washington the u.s. attorney general said the men admitted being directed by quote high ranking you raney and officials and on these grounds washington says it will hold the reigning government accountable for the plot to kill the embassador also the u.s. is accusing iran of conspiring to stage two bombings at these re

the u.s. invaded iraq back in march 2003, few people imagined it was the start of a nightmare that would last almost nine years, cost more than 4,000 american lives, plus hundred of billions of u.s. taxpayer doll lors. the u.s. mission in iraq which had been gradually drawing down will instead come to an abrupt end in just over two months with all american forces out of iraq by year's end. president obama himself announced the end of the iraq war. >> today, i can report that as promised, the rest of our troops in iraq will come home by the end of the year. after nearly nine years, america's war in iraq will be over. over the next two months, our troops in iraq, tens of thousands of them, will pack up their gear and board convoys for the journey home. the last american soldier will cross the border out of iraq with their heads held high, proud of their success and knowing that the american people stand united in our support for our troops. that is how america's military efforts in iraq will end

u.s. economy outlook. and expectation that the u.s. central bank will take additional monetary easing measures. the dollar is currently trading between 75.69 and 75.72 yen. japan's central bank has decided to take additional monetary easing measures by expanding the amount of its asset-buying program. we report from bank of japan. >> reporter: the bank of japan held its board meeting on thursday and decided to raise the amount of the current scheme by five trillion yen to 55 billion tren. that's about $720 billion. the bank said the economies that recovered to the level prior to the march disaster and it's picking up. however, a slowdown in the overseas economies due to the european debt crisis and the appreciation of the yen are having a negative impact on japanese economy and the economy. the central bank said the expansion of the program is intended for buying long-term japanese government bonds. the major objective of today's move is to stem the strong yen. but the impact on the curren

last friday and heard the reports that a u.s. drone strike had killed u.s. born muslim cleric anwar locky and last friday the mainstream media different really seem all too bothered by the fact that their own government had just assassinated the u.s. citizen without any due process no instead they were just toeing the official line repeating verbatim everything that was fed to them by the white house like saying that al locky had a major operational role in foiled attacks against the u.s. and al qaeda in the arabian peninsula in general despite the lack of any evidence for that because they refused to show it to us but seriously guys they took this story a really really seriously after all the president had just said that it dealt a major blow to al qaeda. one of all kind as top recruiters who once preached at a mosque in virginia and california he was called the internet bin ladin because of his skills of recruiting terrorists online just two of the world's most wanted terrorists our dad. who was killed by a missile from a u.s. drone today he was considered

i never said the u.s. was a parasite on the global economy but i do think it's a monopoly of the us dollar as a single global currency. not only for the world economy america's economy as well because it leads to a violation of financial discipline. when it comes to you live in europe. is a big problem but it could be a result weren't afraid to take action he said that russia and china should lead the reform international financial systems and that the role of the brits will become more important on the world stage. i think it's reforming existing institutions i mean global financial institutions such as the international monetary fund and world bank and you will agree that the role of the brics countries in these organizations must be you. given the growing importance of a country's economy or if you put it in front of people's so there is a lot of big hopes and best plans but both premier said that they are confidence that they have established clients that are what make sure that they become a reality f

and then the u.s. consumer. one data point that we track is the u.s. consumer's debt service to disposable income. how much do they have to pay out to service their mortgage debt, their credit card debt versus their disposable income? we're at the lowest level we've seen since 1994. that's a 17-year low, which means the u.s. consumer is getting their own financial condition in much, much better shape. so when there's a sense of confidence coming back, i think the consumer is poised to start spending again. >> there's a real pent-up demand is what i'm hearing you saying. >> the u.s. consumer's balance sheet is in much, much better shape. so when they have the confidence to start to spend, they have the economic wherewithal to do so. >> no doubt about it. consumer and the corporate, by the way. taking away europe, taking away housing, you've got a pretty good situation -- >> a lot of propellant to get the economy going once that confidence factor comes back. >> hedge fund managers, have you ever seen them as unlevered as you are seeing them today? what a

largely the u.s. in part this is because the u.s. has such great copyright exports in or out of or is one of the good or the good things we do we export a lot of operate our servers your own are not exporting as much as you know any parents or goods but both the obama administration the bush administration had treated this as you said earlier as a national security secret and so a lot of the criticism was what's going on here if you know people are meeting behind closed doors you almost tend to assume the worst and yeah i guess i find that incredibly mind boggling and as a national security secret although i guess the weight of the two isn't astray from the prior administration and carrying themselves nothing should really shock us anymore but how does that even work why doesn't this require congressional approval i mean for signing something that's an international agreement. if this were a formal treaty then this would require the executive branch to sign on and it would require ramping by the u.s. senate. because this isn't someth
