president barack obama has signed into law the biggest financial overhaul sins. the great depression the main goal is to prevent another economic crisis and the bill restricts banks from making risky bets and provides more transparency and you consumer protection agencies to be set up and the government will have the right to seize control of struggling banks republicans have opposed the changes and asked for modifications some experts are now downing the fact in this of the overhaul saying it's a watered down version aimed at pleasing the republicans. this is a weak bill it makes major exemptions it doesn't even replace what was on done in the years after the great depression and it leaves all of the real bite of what might happen in the hands of regulators who are given an enormous amount of discretion even though everybody knows that those regulators will come under the pressure of the very banks they're supposed to control and so i would not agree

that this is a very sweeping legislation i think this is a victory for the banking sector they are very happy that much less was done than even some of their more open minded people thought would be likely what we've really seen here is the power of the financial community to to cause a crisis to be bailed out at public expense and then with a horrible irony to use some of the money they got as a bailout to make sure that there wouldn't be the kind of reform and regulation that would really prevent this again so my guess is that after a little bit of theater about how there's all this regulation and reform this will fade out of everyone's memory and we will unfortunately very much go back to business as usual with the democrats claiming they made a reform the republicans brushing it off and ignoring it and that will be the end of the story and that is a tragedy because we will have not learned the lesson of something that almost

collapsed our entire economy and the world economy with it. but mike norman chief economist from the broker dealer john thomas financial says the bail will help stabilize the american economy and that critics are simply trying to scare the public this argument that it's going to limit credit i mean i think that's more or less a scare tactic a political ploy that's being put out there to get the public fearful but here's the thing if it leads to a more stable investing environment if it leads to a damping down of excessive speculation and volatility in the markets that should also lead to better economic conditions more investment and more job growth and look if people have jobs because that's really the bottom line issue right now in this economy if this leads to a more stable financial climate people will earn higher incomes and the

reliance upon credit may not be as high you know you might lose a little bit off one side you might not get your free checking but look if it results in a more stable environment i think everybody comes out of this more you know happier now chief economist mike norman giving his view on the wall street reforms an arab man is to appeal his conviction of rape by deception and israel after having consensual sex with a woman who thought he was a fellow jew said barkha sure who denies pretending to be jewish was sentenced to eighteen months in jail but as our policy reports even couples who knowingly choose to enter an interfaith relationship are ostracize. this jewish jerusalem suburb is surrounded by arab neighborhoods and far from cultivating a culture of tolerance vigilante style jewish patrol groups calling themselves fire for judaism stand watch outside the local shopping mall their mission to prevent arab men mixing with local jewish girls the municipality has created

a twenty four hour hotline where parents and friends can phone to rat on jewish girls breaking this to boot a specially trained team of counselors and psychologists is on standby to rescue them as a leash more. it's important to save our traditions culture history and identity because without this who are we from my experience we can see that the chances for a healthy relationship between these really jewish woman and an arab man very very low it's because of the great differences between these two cultures share up with any of the most recent case involves an arab man who posed as a jewish bachelor a jewish woman agreed to have sex with him but after she found out he was an arab and not a jew she filed a police complaint the courts took the case so seriously that he's now been convicted of rape by deception and sentenced to eighteen months and president the judge said he had an obligation to protect the public funds of the state of criminals who could no innocent victims but reactions to the verdict differ i think
