of the joint advisor committee on emerging regulatory issues, also finance professor at the new york university stern school of business. and joe saluzzi a part never in the institution stock brokerage firm. we began by asking professor engle if the market is more or less susceptible to a flash crash. >> i think there are some pro section-- protections that have been put in place. they instituted the circuit breakers, individual stock circuit breakers early on and extended them, the rang. and these are a little bit of a brute force solution. but they will stop something like a flash crash from happening at least the same way it did before. >> joe, have you been satisfied with the response thus far? >> i think the problem with the flash crash wasn't the drop, the sign of it, it was the speed of the crash it happened within 15 minutes and that can certainly happen today. you can get a 10% drop in five minutes and that's what shakes investor's confidence. >> reporter: speaking to that point, joe, are you confident that the contribute errs to the flash crash have been positively identified? >> wblt

a lot of bad mayor who's an international relations professor at new york university says the u.s.president lacks concrete proposals for the peace process sixty four percent of the american public support israel and in an election year in a campaign year no president is going to ignore what the american public wants and wants to see happen so he's not going to go into details about what is required what is going to grow but i think he would be talking in general terms about the need for a two state solution but they need to compromise on both sides but they need to to end the expansion of settlement but he would not be able or willing for that matter to draw any specific roadmap i still how to go about to achieve these objectives we have to be clear here you know when you see when the policy and look at the whole arab world and see their counterpart rising against their own government they are asking themselves why should not we rise against an occupation and i think this is exactly the russian are behind it the day of israeli independence which they are to the public cynical the k

germany earlier i spoke with stephen cohen he is professor of russian and slavic studies at new york university he's also author of this book the victims return survivors of the gulag after stalin i asked mr cohen why he believes after all this time victory day is such a big deal and russia but virtually unknown and not celebrated in the united states here's what he had to say. it was a sacred war in the soviet union in russia because so many million people died about twenty eight million people and those people are still missing moms and dads and brothers and sisters are all the women who never found husbands all the children who grew up as orphans and soviet russia we inhabit phenomenon here separately for russia this was a war of occupation the germans were russian from one thousand forty one until after the battle of stalingrad when they were driven out of the country the united states never experienced the war of occupation and there was an enormous difference even though many men with the fight in the war and women too they went away they went to europe americans except for those who went

post bin laden era i'm joined by patricia de janeiro a professor of international security at new york university's department of politics and irvine we have mark divine he's a professor of history at the university of california irvine he's also author of the book heavy metal islam rock resistance and the struggle for the soul of islam and a new buy we have banned editor in chief at pakistan. pakistan's alternative policy institute and news service this is cross-talk air you can jump in anytime you want here mark obama said the world is a better place it's a safer place and importantly he said justice has been done over the last ten years over the last ten years on the war on terror has justice been done. but i think as a new yorker a lifelong new yorker until recently certainly. i'm certainly happy to see that bin laden is gone and that is not what i think would be just then but i think the other arguments that the world safer i'm not sure that they're really true at this point because most people think he hasn't had any kind of operational command of al qaeda and the franchises that have grown a

background on friday if you don't know what it is already now some journalism students from new york university they did a song which is going to do a much better job than i could give you a little background take a listen. it's . going to go to the to the. city it's. like they're going to. see. one of the i don't. know how to talk about this is kate indeed she is senior attorney for the natural resource. council thanks so much for being with us so i want to start with france and what's going on there they're moving to ban fracking which which hasn't really gotten off the ground there yet because they say that it can't be shown to be done safely and that there are. information suggests there's a big risk for the groundwater as far as toxic chemicals what does it say that they're moving to ban something that has been going on in the united states since the ninety's and makes up twenty five percent i read of the gas supply in the us. yes i think what we're seeing is the beginning of a trend where folks are increasingly realizing that there are significant risks associated with fracking so frackin

background on what exactly fracking is if you don't know what it is as in journalism students from new york university have done much better job with a song that i could do in a thirty second intro so take a listen this. is a. tribute. to the. police. there were. two of six zero. zero zero. zero zero zero one of the twin. cities. so there's a little background to talk more about this i spoke with case in big senior attorney at natural resources defense council i asked her what this means for the u.s. that france is moving to ban fracking if there is this increase in public awareness in the united states around the risks associated with hydraulic fracturing here's what she said. i think what we're seeing is the beginning of a trend where folks are increasingly realizing that there are significant risks associated with fracking so fracking was allowed to move forward and parts of the united states that are perhaps more used to having drilling where the extractive industries are more welcome as it's moved further east and as we've seen increasing accident water or lucian air pollution all the side effect

developments in the region with dogs a professor of international relations and mideast studies at new york university thanks for being with the sort of program tonight the military action of libya was preceded was and it was. called the nation's no that's kind of what we're seeing happening right now with syria do you think it will end with intervention there as well. you know it might have to come to god i'm not sure that the united states or nato will in fact begin to bomb damascus or any part of syria any time soon but the time has come for the united states to realize that this had said regime is not legitimate and the side must go and i think it's almost sound quite ridiculous that i said himself was excluded from the list of those who should not be troubling or are going to sanction basically a lukewarm sanction not serious sanctions it's going to really impact syria in very traumatic way so i think the united states and europe are correct to have the pressure on syria in a very significant way and make it clear that there celgene is no longer a legitimate regime and that assad must step down o

karen greenberg is the executive director at the center on law and security at new york university andor. thanks very much for joining us. what doyou make about the release of the tapes, first of all? >> i think the release is partly a substitute for not showing the picture of bin laden when he was killed. i think it's an attempt to show the public, the american public that not just that it happened in a kind of corroborative way, because i think conspear a eeir theorists will find their way out of there, but to show that we were there, and to show, you need to keep in mind the reason we have this information, like the reason we have the thumb drives is because the obama administration chose not to bomb this palace but to -- or this mansion, but to go in there with stealth, covertoperatives and take what they could get. the underlying message here is it was extremely important to get this information and it's probably the most amount and the most incisive and the most comprehensive information we may yet have in understanding bin laden and his directiveship of al qaeda. >> i want to br
