Republican members of the U.S. House of Representatives are rejecting the sweeping immigration reform bill passed in the Senate.  Leaders of the Republican majority say they plan to take a step-by-step approach aimed at slowing momentum toward reform that would provide legal status for the estimated 11 million people now living in the United States illegally.  Members of the majority Republican conference in the House of Representatives met with their leaders late Wednesday to ...

Putin's Asian Oil Drive Brings Pain to European Refiners
Jul 10th 2013, 22:32, by webdesk@voanews.com (Reuters)

European refineries are seeing their bills soar by billions of dollars a year as Russia shifts oil exports to Asia, driving up the values of Urals, one of their preferred crudes.   Huge volumes have switched away from saturated European markets.   From virtually zero five years ago, Russia's oil exports to China and the Pacific coast have risen to 750,000 barrels per day or 17 percent of its total, and they are set to double in the next five years.   "With the ...

Twelve billion dollars in aid from Egypt's wealthy Gulf allies have bought Cairo a window of several months to try and stabilize its politics and repair its state finances - or face fresh economic turmoil. The massive packages of grants and loans unveiled by Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait on Tuesday and Wednesday should boost Egyptian foreign reserves enough to avert a balance of payments crunch that was looming this year. By replenishing state coffers, they will keep ...

Jul 10th 2013, 15:56, by webdesk@voanews.com (VOA News)

A new public-opinion poll reveals a majority of Americans believe former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden is a whistleblower, rather than a traitor. The Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday found 55 percent of poll participants identified Snowden as a whistleblower, while 34 percent said he was a traitor. Americans were split on whether the government's counter-terrorism efforts went too far in restricting civil liberties as part of its war on terrorism.  ...
