Hagel Forced to Cut Troops to Balance the Budget
Teeing up what could be a politically explosive fight before the midterm elections in November, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel on Monday will recommend billions of dollars in annual budget cuts that would reduce housing allowances and other benefits, increase health-care premiums, and limit pay raises, CBS News confirms.
The recommendations, first reported by the Wall Street Journal, are part of a broader effort to trim the Pentagon\'s budget while minimizing the impact on preparedness and capability. But they\'re likely to provoke fierce opposition from veterans\' interest groups and lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
The Pentagon argues that personnel costs are simply too big a share of the defense budget to ignore. \

Uganda\'s President Yoweri Museveni has ignored international pressure and signed into law the controversial anti gay bill to the outrage of western countries that are now threatening to withhold aid to Uganda. While signing the law, a defiant Museveni argued Uganda has a right to protect its citizens from harmful foreign social values. There are concerns that the uganda law could trigger similar legislations, especially in other African countries with Kenyan mps already preparing a similar draft bill. Esther Kahumbi reports

Three years ago, an uprising against the Assad regime turned into what looked like a straightforward civil war between Syrian government forces and rebels. However, over time, what had started as a largely secular opposition movement began to take on more of a radical Islamist tone, with two al Qaeda offshoots -- the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) and Jabhat al-Nusra -- becoming the dominant forces on the ground across the rebel-held North.

One VICE filmmaker managed to secure unprecedented access to both al-Qaeda factions battling Syria\'s government forces, despite the risk of journalists being kidnapped. This is a remarkable portrait of the foreign volunteers and local Syrians willing to fight and die to establish a new caliphate on Europe\'s doorstep.

Hagel Forced to Cut Troops to Balance the Budget
Hagel Forced to Cut Troops to Balance the Budget
  • Order:
  • Duration: 2:09
  • Updated: 25 Feb 2014
Hagel Forced to Cut Troops to Balance the Budget Teeing up what could be a politically explosive fight before the midterm elections in November, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel on Monday will recommend billions of dollars in annual budget cuts that would reduce housing allowances and other benefits, increase health-care premiums, and limit pay raises, CBS News confirms. The recommendations, first reported by the Wall Street Journal, are part of a broader effort to trim the Pentagon's budget while minimizing the impact on preparedness and capability. But they're likely to provoke fierce opposition from veterans' interest groups and lawmakers on Capitol Hill. The Pentagon argues that personnel costs are simply too big a share of the defense budget to ignore. "Personnel costs reflect some 50 percent of the Pentagon budget and cannot be exempted in the context of the significant cuts the department is facing," Adm. John Kirby, the Defense Department's top spokesman, told the Journal. "Secretary Hagel has been clear that, while we do not want to, we ultimately must slow the growth of military pay and compensation." The recommendations would limit pay raises across the board to 1 percent, and they would freeze pay entirely for generals and admirals for one year. In addition to reduced housing allowances, the recommendations would slash the subsidies for commissaries that provide groceries to veterans, service members, and their families at reduced cost. The commissary cuts could be a particularly heavy lift, a senior defense official told the Journal. "These are near and dear to the retired population's heart," he said. "The commissaries will be a battle." The Associated Press reported Monday that Hagel is also expected to propose cutting the size of the Army from 490,000 active-duty members to between 440,000 and 450,000, down from a post 9/11 peak of 570,000. But even less controversial cuts are likely to be a battle as lawmakers look ahead to the 2014 midterms. This month, a strong bipartisan majority of in both houses of Congress repealed a measure, just passed in December's budget agreement, that would slow the annual growth of military pensions.

Three years ago, an uprising against the Assad regime turned into what looked like a straightforward civil war between Syrian government forces and rebels. However, over time, what had started as a largely secular opposition movement began to take on more of a radical Islamist tone, with two al Qaeda offshoots -- the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) and Jabhat al-Nusra -- becoming the dominant forces on the ground across the rebel-held North. One VICE filmmaker managed to secure unprecedented access to both al-Qaeda factions battling Syria's government forces, despite the risk of journalists being kidnapped. This is a remarkable portrait of the foreign volunteers and local Syrians willing to fight and die to establish a new caliphate on Europe's doorstep.

Subscribe to ITN News: http://bit.ly/1bmWO8h Ukraine's opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko has hailed demonstrators as "heroes" in an emotional speech in Kiev after she was released from jail. It comes after the country's President Viktor Yanukovich abandoned the capital to the opposition on Saturday and denounced what he described as a coup after several days of bloodshed this week that claimed 82 lives. His precise whereabouts on Sunday were still unknown. But residents in the eastern town of Donetsk, his stronghold, said that security had been reinforced along the main approach road to his private home in the town, suggesting he might be there. Supporters cheered former prime minister Tymoshenko as she left the hospital where she had been held. Her release marks a radical transformation in the former Soviet republic of 46 million people. Removal of the pro-Russian Yanukovich should pull Ukraine away from Moscow's orbit and closer to Europe. Setting herself immediately on a collision course with Moscow, Tymoshenko said she was sure her country would join the European Union in the near future. Report by Jennifer Cordingley.
