1:21 pm
this morning as un investigator s try is investigate the site. it is these pictures that emerged last week that have the world up in arms and the us considering military action. if the allegations are through it would be the first such attack since 1988. >> reporter: over to you. thank you i think we can be a little more decisive than the statements that you made so far. the un has confirmed that chemical weapons were in fact
1:22 pm
used. we have spoken to medical personnel and they say they are completely convinced that the government used commemkal weapons on a massive scale. us officials say that it seems likely that the u.s. will take military action. will it be a few punitive strikes or a more formative action. the rebels want to see a strong response from the united states and other countries something that they hope can turn the tide in this war.
1:23 pm
they say if they don't attack the leader will believe he has gotten away with it. >> richard, thank you. david down to you. lawyers are taking sides on that controversial comment from president obama. we have on the phone dan rod regez. he's the dean of -- school of law. you are both lawyers at least in a former life. why would two years be better than three? >> bottom line is that in the game of legal education in america is the wake. it is the -- that you have to pay to be allowed to play the game.
1:24 pm
give me your take? >> is that true? >> it depends on the law school. the notion that the third year of law school is valueless is not the case. all three of us and president obama attended law schools for three years and i suspect we have the goodness a nesness and badness of that experience. let the markets decide. students will vote with their feet. >> i think a lot of people who have talked about this two year program, you can actually be
1:25 pm
working somewhere learning about how the law looked in a real world. i might be getting paid yourself. so it is a great way to improve the practical training. it is a win win. what would it do if you watched your tuition be cut by a third? >> we would have to make adjustments. if we can't justify the third year, warrant the students to pay tuition because of the practical skills training that we offer. then we shouldn't collect their
1:26 pm
tuition. we should think about whether we end up with real value. if we want to let the market decide. let's let the hiring market decide. they are getting their job after their second year of law school. >> what did you learn your third year? >> some people improve their golf game. the first year they scare you to death, the second they work you to death and the third they bore you to death. >> i think that is an old saying. >> to be fair, it has gotten more expensive and we are going
1:27 pm
to have to figure out a way to redefine it. the third year is moreoriented. i don't need a single lawyer to say students know everything they are going to know after two years of law school. we'll do the education of them and send them off to a federal judge and we'll teach them what we need to know. law schools provide more training and education. >> i don't know a lot of students who say it helped them get a job. >> if they want to spend their money and get the training, they shouldn't be forced to.
1:28 pm
in some states progressive arizona they are allowing students to take the bar. if you can take the bar and pass the bar and get a job after two years why are we forcing people to take the third year. >> the president was talking about a third year of classroom in instruction. it should be practical. if you look at the uk and canada, they have more of a blend of practical. a lot of this does come back to economics. the incredible debt burden that so many of our students, end up with having to pay off with years and years, is that model going to change? it is going to have to change. students haven't been forced to
1:29 pm
take that third year. students should be able to sit for the bar and the law school should justify. >> dan, dean thank you for your time. david, thank you both as well. >> thank you for having us, sue? >> all right. i hope they get that situation figured out before your kids and my kids have to go. >> closing shop for this trading day. >> it has been a downside section for gold. silver has had a descent day. >> copper down platinum on the upside david? >> all right. let's talk about the nasdaq.
1:30 pm
take it away. >> we are not seeing market activity. we'll have to deep an eye on that index. some names include facebook. tesla on the move up better than five% and now up nearly 400 p percent year to date. remember we had that up beat tweet. also rising anticipation on september tenth where they are expecting apple to unveil a new iphone. lastly that mega deal, seems to be doing the brought ter deal. back to you. >> thank you very much. we are back here and we have bob
1:31 pm
hasani sitting to my right. it is quiet. >> we are up three days in a row. lousy new home sales on friday. lousesy durable goods numbers. but the bottom line is we have had a couple days in a row. and that is helping the stock market. some of the sensitive things. the stock market is sitting there, we put up the sensitive stocks today. you will see them not doing much. fertilizers rallying that the chief of the potash car tell has
1:32 pm
been arrested with abuse of office. they came out and said we are no longer going to be a cartell. there we go with the move to the upside. we are hearing reports and they are up 5% in july. >> they have no exposure. where does that come from. the other ones do well. >> absolutely. 7.5% gdp. looking more and more real. >> a player in the statistics division. look, we are going to make our 7.5%. a guy made a comment. >> got it. thank you bob. let's head over to rick san telli. >> as bob said, strongs are payipa
