But should you be made aware if you are consuming them. Thats next on consider this. The reason for this is throughout the consequences throughout the middle east that could affect transportation and petroleum products. Is it Crystal Clear that the impact of a u. S. Strike on syria will mean higher gas prices . So far, we are seeing that to be the case. Syria is not a big oil producer. Its not a big shipment zone either. But at the same time, anything that takes place in the middle east that could cause continued turmoil or violence in other countries, you know, thats something that concerns the petroleum markets and as a result you see the future prices rise. On wednesday, we saw the price of west Texas Intermediate Crude Oil go up 6 per barrel in comparison to the week previous and gasoline futures went up 15. And so those are some pretty huge price jumps. We have seen the petroleum markets drop a little bit since then. Theres a lot of concern and prices at the pump have been going u
Talks to end the stand off over Irans Nuclear program will go into a third day. Iran hosts a deal will east western sanctions that have crippled its economy. There are five sites where iran is believed to be enriching and converting uranium or doing other work for its nuclear program. And one area where they suspect there is research. There is a lot of rumors connected to the talks where you are in geneva. First of all can you clear this up for us . Is the Russian Foreign minister about to join these talks . Its been a really interesting day on that front. The foreign minister said that they would not be coming here, and we even reached out to the foreign minister. They said no, we have no plans to come. Not an hour later they said nope, we are coming. So some lastminute plans, and this really kicks things up a notch. This was a summit at this point. Every leading diplomatic dignitary will be here. And were hearing that the chinese will be ratcheting things up possibly sending the Depu
We begin tonight with the first legal set back for the nsas surveillance program. The federal judge said today that he believesle bulk collection of telephone records is unconstitutional and apparently violates privacy rights. This could be the first of several legal challenges to the ns as intelligence fwaering programs. More from mike viqueira. Reporter judge richard leon ruled that the phone Data Collection that has been so controversial is likely in violation of the constitution, specifically the Fourth Amendment prohibition against unreasonable search and seizure. The ruling was 68pages long. Judge leon writes no court recognized a special need to justify continuous daily searches of virtually every american citizen, but it is important to note in the rules he stayed his injunction that this is unlikely unconstitutional. He wants to give the government time to appeal. For the time being the meta Data Collection continues on without any court stopping it. However, there is this rul
Get set for competition. [ theme ] we begin with Irans Nuclear talks. We are live with phil itner. Can you tell us about the latest round of meeting. What are the issues on the table right now . Well, morgan, its hard to say exactly what the issues are on the table or what the negotiation pieces are because much of the meetings are held behind closed doors. We believe on the iranian side of things that theres an offer to decrease their level of uranium enrichment, the pelty of putting a cap on the center fuges that are used in the program and increasing transparency. What would the west give in return perhaps some easing of sanctions on the sale of oil, and also, perhaps, releasing some of the frozen Bank Accounts held by iranian officials in foreign Bank Accounts. It must be stressed, again, these are held behind closed doors, and while we know the talks are intensive, we dont know what is on the table yet. Thank you phil. We appreciate you being with us this morning. Its been 100 day
