only in russia but in the world forces across the region are on permanent standby to prevent further attacks or warning they're now on the way here in r t forbidden law. lation as you know are in the spotlight as an arab man face eighteen month jail for allegedly tricking jewish woman to bad. and u.s. president barack obama has signed into law the biggest financial overhaul since the great depression the main goal was to prevent. and no other economic crisis the bill restricts banks from making risky bets and provides more transparency and new consumer protection agency is 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 and some experts are now doubting effectiveness of the overhaul saying it's watered down version of the republic. this is
3:09 am
a weak bill it makes major exemptions it does not 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 then even some of their more open minded people thought would be right but 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 ira need 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
3:10 am
a little bit of fear about how there's all this regulation and reforms 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. mike norman chief economist from the broker dealer john tell us financial says 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 leaves to a more stable investing environment if it leads to
3:11 am
a damn thing down that says 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 who earn higher incomes 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 . that was chief economist mike norman giving his view on the wall street reforms. and an arab man has 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 barca sure who denies pretending to be jewish was sentenced to eighteen months in jail but as our policy reports even couples who knowingly choose
