north caucasus. wall street is slapped with the biggest financial reforms in decades but some economists say the bill is a watered down version of the way on the market. and an arab man convicted of rape by deception for having consensual sex with a jewish woman and israel says the ruling highlights racism in the country. one pm in moscow you're with joshua welcome to the program a gang of alleged neo nazis are on trial in moscow for a series of deadly attacks and terror plots of correspondence days of events as at the courthouse for us. the thirteen alleged neo nazis are being charged with committing twenty seven murders due to rage of racial hatred two for terrorist attacks participating an illegal extremist network and inciting racial hatred now

all the men are in their early twenty's and according to the f.s.b. when they attempted to arrest them a year ago the defendants turned their nature on agents having a bloody farm to resist it moving several officers killing between then and now the main continuously trying to have their case heard before a jury but failed and says instead their case is closed to the public and to the media and a judge will decide their fate if they are found guilty they could face life in prison the driving force its 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 an illegal extremist network that network this call the national socialist society and the goal is to have a russia that is cruelly for russians of ethnic descent and they are doing this and

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 that is trying to get elected and that has some activists wondering who is funding this group that's supposed to be legal are these people power for ages as these critics a suspect and if so they want them exposed and they want them to face justice they have arrested more of these people and more of these alleged to have had their cases taken to court the still makes some people background worried because they say that there's still a fear that just because you is to to the law it doesn't mean that the violence will stop even though they have seen a decrease and. 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 the supporters i mean the nazi groups say you come at us that whatever direction we want we're going to stay and we're going to fight how all 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 full of 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 books love phone home went and i would nation love for good people 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 interest make 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 visa 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 racist 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 a blast killed fourteen attacks against non-slip at looking people are often brutal and in cases like yours kosky market they are deadly the deeds of angry mob family outnumber 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 like you know what needs to started seizing the most odious groups that had been

involved in systematic violence and terrorism during the last two years the largest formations in moscow were dispelled and the key activists and murderers detained. she says one thousand people have been killed due to hate crimes in two thousand and ten that's down from fifty for the same time period last year but that map does little to satisfy maggots who kill suffer lions is better and police protection is supposed. they'll work in crowds of people take care of their own safety. comes into action after a crime is committed and. asked for veronica her husband is serving a life sentence for actions neither of them regrets and for a cause they both support but she did so show some sadness when she spoke to me about her own situation she says she and her husband aren't able 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're convicted. we've been

reporting there now russian media is reporting that a local a militant leader could be behind the storming of the books on a power plant in the north caucasus it's said that members of comes back to schoo of skanks have been identified as the attackers but employees of the station however there's been no official confirmation yet investigators say poor security of the power plant made a vulnerable to attack nato as easily explains how events unfolded. this is the hydroelectric plan that the militants stormed wednesday morning police say that the gunman killed two security guards and easily and to the control room there allegedly they tied up. and tortured them with knives trying to. cation all the control switches to work is injured after that police say the criminals. generators room and laid bombs them the blasts the two major the destroyed two

or three generators and one bomb was defused by police who arrived at the site later this is the first ever attack on russia's energy infrastructure the country's most wanted terrorist threatened 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 i do know both goddess's less violence than other nearby north caucasus regions. and. it was decided ofis fighting in two of the two thousand and five back down dozens of militants stormed the capital city of lunch attacking police and government officers more than one hundred forty people died including ninety two militants the north caucasus region is seen as one of the most volatile places not only in russia but in the world forces across the

region are on permanent standby to prevent further attacks as a disease of reporting from russia's southern republic of korea you're watching r.t. live from moscow and on the way for a bit long interfaith really is are in the spotlight as an arab man faces an eighteen month jail for allegedly tricking a jewish woman into that. international court of justice is set to decide whether cost. of independence from serbia in two thousand and eight was legal if the hague sides with serbia it may force cos will back to the negotiating table with belgrade the region you know laterally declared independence from serbia in february two thousand and eight after un brokered the go she's failed balkans expert cover law that says its independence is declared it will provoke no instability around the world. well let's be quite clear this isn't merely a nice. local implications this is huge international implications because

here you have a pouring power in fact a non european power bombing its way into a sovereign state in the balkans the federal republic of yugoslavia at the time and subsequently as a result of its occupation and mabel first session took takes place and the united states in fact was the very first country to recognize crossable it's clearly that they want to control this country if the international court of justice requires this as the league or and we have all these countries still sticking with. recognition of this situation i'm talking about most of the european union countries and above all the united states. might is right it means a very serious situation that we are not in a position to resolve international peace years legally if we have large powerful states simply create their own free from all over the world that is simply going to

create instability everywhere and people will not be able to refer to international law i was political expert on the balkans we should have realized which u.s. president barack obama has signed into law the biggest financial overhaul since the great depression the main goal is to prevent another economic crisis that bill restricts banks from making risky bets and provides more transparency and new consumer protection agency 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 doubting activists of your whole saying it's a watered down version aimed at easing the republicans. this is a weak bill it makes major exemptions it doesn't even replace what was done in the years after the great depression. and it leaves all of the real despite 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 mike norman chief economist from the brokerage dealer john thomas financial says the bill will help stabilize the american economy and that critics are simply trying to scare the public. that 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 in 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 that 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 felon so barkha sure who denies pretending to be jewish was sentenced to eighteen months in jail but is our policy reports even couples who knowingly choose to andrew are in ten interfaith relationships are ostracized. 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

judge said he had an obligation to protect the public funds of the state of criminals who could know it innocent victims but reactions to the verdict differ i think if the women want to do it it's dark lord a lot different it's arabic or more of a because something like this is usually jewish girls don't know where they're guys . unless it's a choice you know so there should be a choice you didn't leave a choice but in prison is too much and this is the way that this conflict is ruining our present arrives that we cannot have relationships that we cannot be just human being arabs make up a foot of israel's population but relationships between arabs and jews are rare former palestinian minister ziad abu is a yard says fights break out almost weekly and night clubs and other puppy. places over the issue it's not religion he says it's racism there are jewish gangs which are against.
