mean the driving force behind all those offenses the man committed. the driving force is power and all russia free of anybody who is not ethnically russian and they've gone about the silverware and not mention that the guys are facing charges for being members of any legal extremist network that network this call the national socialist society and the goal is to have a russia that is proof for russians of ethnic descent and they are doing this in several ways they're doing it with the violence attacking people who don't look like they belong in their eyes but they're also doing it through that group's political arm many of their candidates have run and regional race the tried to get elected and that has some activists wondering who is funding this group that's supposed to be legal are these people powerful agents as these critics

a suspect and if so they want them exposed and they want them to face justice. ok let's not talk about how the problem of extremism is being tackled in the country. well there are traditional ways and there are nontraditional ways i mentioned that the n.s.a. has been deemed illegal by the by russia by the russian supreme court and the nation has also adopted extremist laws which has given police more power and the can has put these kinds of arrests in the forefront and they have arrested more of these people and more of these alleged stream must have had their cases taken to court the still makes some people background worried because they say that they're still of fear that just because you is due to the law it doesn't mean that the violence will stop even though they have seen a decrease and it's also you have the like i said the nontraditional ways of fighting this problem you have neo nazis and antinea nazis essentially gauged in

underground wars where they assassinate each other's leaders but you have supporters of neo nazi groups saying you come at us that whatever direction we want we're going to stay and we're going to fight russia free of ethnic russians i spoke to the wife of a bomber who killed fourteen people in a terrorist attack in moscow and she supports him and she supports the movement and here's more of what she had to tell me. this self professed and deeply religious woman is filled with hate hate for those who are different hate for immigrants she accuses of occupying disrespecting and contaminating her nation russians she insists are fighting a race war motivated by love and. love for one home when and i would nation love for our good families where people don't just date and then break up but rather they get married in church they don't practice abortions the don't support

interesting marriages. who are ethnically mixed communities and what are your thoughts about me i'm not russian i'm african american i'm here are you upset that your government gave me a b what are your thoughts on that. i believe everyone should live in their own homeland where they belong. armed with this belief and inspired by racists blocking her husband. and two fellow students. market in two thousand and six they targeted because of the number of traders that come from central asia and china the blast killed fourteen attacks against looking people are often brutal and in cases like yours cost the market their deadly the deeds of angry mobs pummeling outnumbered victims all recorded by racist and then posted on nationalist websites. activists call the situation out of control when a local nonprofit crime watchdog group acknowledges it is slowly getting better let

spoke to me about her own situation she says she and her husband are unable to have children because she can't see him due to his life sentence that's something that the thirteen in the moscow trials here could face if they are convicted. or say thanks for bringing us the latest on this case and the process. back to you for more details as the trial goes on here in moscow. and a manhunt is underway for the group of attackers who stormed the hydro plant in north caucasus law enforcement officers say they have identified those responsible who remain on the run a criminal case has been launched in five areas including seven security has been tightened in all energy facilities across russia as usual explains how events unfolded at the scene of the attack. this is the hydroelectric plant that the militants stormed that wednesday morning police say that the gunmen killed two security guards and easily entered the control room there legibly they tied up.

and tortured them with knives trying to delay cation all the control switches to work is injured after that police say the criminals to the generators room and layed warms them the blasts the to meet at a bit later destroyed two or three generators and one bomb was defused by police who arrived at the site later this is the first attack on russia's energy infrastructure the country's most wanted terrorist threats and to carry out such attacks in the past he claimed responsibility for the most go metro bombings in march two lives of forty people although the bowl cut is less violence than other nearby north caucasus regions such as. it was decided or fees fighting in october two thousand and five back then dozens of

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 a modification some experts are now doubting the effectiveness of the overhaul saying it's a watered down version of pleasing the republicans. this is a weak bill it makes major exemptions it does not even replace what was 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 not by norman chief economist from the broker dealer john thomas financial sense the bill will help stabilize the american economy and that critics are simply trying to scare the public to 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 or 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

and i was chief economist mike norman giving his view on the wall street reforms and an arab man is to appeal his conviction of rape by deception in israel after having consensual sex with a woman who thought he was a fellow jew some barkha sure who did not pretending to be jewish was sentenced to eighteen months in jail but as our policy reports even couples who knowingly choose to anger into an interfaith relationship are ostracized. this jewish drucilla my 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 bu a specially trained team of counselors and psychologists is on standby to rescue

them at least from war. it's important to save our traditions culture history and identity because without this week from my experience we can see that the chances for a healthy relationship between his really jewish woman and an arab man very very low it's because of the great differences between these two cultures up at 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 being convicted of rape by deception and same tools to eighteen months of 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 if the woman want to do it it's dark lord a lot different it's our belief or moral because something negative usually do is girls don't know where they're guys. unless it's

a choice you know. there should be a choice you didn't leave a choice but in prison is too much and this is the way that this is going to take these ruining our present arrives that we cannot have relationships that we cannot be just human beings arabs make up a foot of israel's population but relationships between arabs and jews are rare former palestinian minister ziad abu ziad says fights break out almost weekly and night clubs and other puppy. paces over the issue it's not religion he says it's racism there are jewish. which are against. jewish men. forced them to break. in the two years ronnie white here and kitty been tata have been together they've never been physically threatened he's muslim she's jewish but
