Rome's 2020 Olym... Italian Premier Mario Monti gestures during a cabinet meeting in Rome Tuesday, Feb. 14, 2012. Premier Monti has scrapped Rome's bid for the 2020 Olympics, saying the government can't supply the required financial backing at a time of financial crisis. Premier Mario Monti announced after a Cabinet meeting Tuesday that it would be an irresponsible use of taxpayer money to fund the Olympic project. Costs for hosting the Olympics in Rome are estimated at $12.5 billion. The decision came a day before the deadline for formal submission of bid files to the International Olympic Committee. The IOC requires government financial guarantees. Rome was the first of six cities to submit a bid for the 2020 Games. The others are Baku, Azerbaijan; Doha, Qatar; Istanbul; Madrid; and Tokyo. The IOC will select the host city in 2013. (AP Photo/Roberto Monaldo, LaPresse) ITALY OUT
Defense: Feds 'm... ADDS INFORMATION THAT ONE OF THE PEOPLE SHOWN IS NOT GOING ON TRIAL --This combo of eight photos provided by the U.S. Marshals Service on Monday March 29, 2010 shows from top left, David Brian Stone Sr., 44, of Clayton, Mich,; David Brian Stone Jr. of Adrian, Mich,; Jacob Ward, 33, of Huron, Ohio; Tina Mae Stone and bottom row from left, Michael David Meeks, 40, of Manchester, Mich,; Kristopher T. Sickles, 27, of Sandusky, Ohio; Joshua John Clough, 28, of Blissfield, Mich.; and Thomas William Piatek, 46, of Whiting, Ind., suspects tied to Hutaree, a Christian militia. Jury selection is getting under way in Detroit federal court Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2012, nearly two years after the dramatic arrest of people who authorities say belonged to a southern Michigan militia with a goal of rebelling against the government. The trial is expected to last weeks. It involves seven of the nine people charged with belonging to a group called Hutaree. The government says they conspired to try to kill a police officer and plotted further strikes. No one was ever attacked, and the defendants say they're being prosecuted for saying stupid things. Joshua Clough, bottom row second from right, is the only defendant to make a deal with prosecutors and could be called as a witness to testify against the Hutaree. (AP Photo/U.S. Marshall)

UK: No public fu... FILE - A June 23, 1997 photo from files showing the Royal Yacht Britannia passing the new Hong Kong Convention Center in Hong Kong Harbor. What do you get for a monarch who has almost everything? Not, apparently, a new yacht, at least not one paid for with taxpayer funds. That was the message Monday, Jan. 16, 2012, as a brief boomlet of support for the idea of providing Queen Elizabeth II with a new royal yacht to mark her Diamond Jubilee was quickly deflated by Prime Minister David Cameron. It is estimated that a new yacht would cost at least 60 million pounds ($92 million/72,455,000 euro). Cameron's spokesman Steve Field said it would not be appropriate for public funds to be spent on a new yacht during times of economic hardship. (AP Photo/Pool, File)
