we do have a lot of crime in district 2. th crimes against individuals but also against merchants along our merchant corridors. chestnut. union in particular has been hit. fillmore and sacramento. it is a big deal. we also have the break-ins. we need to be very mindful that people keep their iphones and laptops out of sight. but it is a big deal. one of the things i talk a lot about on the campaign, making sure that we do fund our public safety departments. we have to make some tough decisions this year, but to me, one of the biggest priorities is making sure that we have our police and firefighters and sheriffs' offices and their budgets fully funded so that we can ensure that public safety does not lag during these budget times. again, in district 2, i do not think it is talked about as much. we are fortunate that we do not have a lot of homicides. we do not have a lot of those types of serious crimes. but the crimes that to happen to matter to the people in district two. so as a local supervisor, it is incumbent upon me, a

the company took a lot out time managers, a lot of duplication. they did something that frankly was almost -- that no one else has been able to duplicate, and that's they started career builder, a jobs site and monster was considered the internet guru to wipe out everybody, and we started career builder, and it's one of the few times a legacy media company starting and operation that was highly successful and eventually overtook monster. it was working well. journal lis tickly, the l.a. too manies was wheeling from a scandal, and we turned that paper around, and it was winning pulitzer prizes right and left under the leadership. people were disparaging the chicago tribune, they were praising the editors put in charge. >> for sure, the book details no shortage of frictions fairly quickly between some factions in chicago, us folks in the newsroom, and our counterparts in los angeles which increasingly, you know, seemed to us sort of this, you know, wayward western empire doing what they wanted to do, but let's past all of those, the original responsi

economy is potentially a lot of stifling of growth now we have to keep in mind that the united states has grown the g.d.p. has grown by just a mere one point three percent in the second quarter we saw that unemployment rates are still astronomically high at nine point two percent and so a lot of economists are saying this is not really the time to be cutting the spending to be capping spending it doesn't satisfy a lot of the political desire by some of the more tea party oriented republicans but it does potentially threaten just expanding meanwhile we also have to keep in mind that this deal doesn't actually do anything to assure world markets about the long term direction of where the u.s. economy is going a lot of the big critical decisions are left to a sort of super committee a bipartisan committee of lawmakers which is really just another way of saying they're kicking the can down the road so they don't have to make those difficult decisions now this whole battle over the debt limit is kind of a proxy war an ideological proxy war between the republicans in congress and the democr

a lot of things. part of what interested in the book is the emergence of the pharmaceutical industry as a huge force beginning largely in the 1990's and that was the period in which the sort of age of blockbuster drugs began so they started hitting for the fences looking for drugs ticket market to as many people as possible usually for the mile and chronic illnesses. when the pharmaceutical industry started to become so enormously powerful began to go much stronger so you had the emergence of the clinical trial industry, medical education industry, oversight businesses, for-profit institutions. i think a lot of people don't realize how profitable the industry spent the past 20 or 30 years and it's been tremendous. >> your experience with that transformation and the pharmaceutical industry currently has a doctor? >> i don't practice medicine. i originally trained in medicine and went from medicine to the undergraduate school for so for the last 20 years or so i've been teaching medical. the root of the

we do a lot of expansion. people start small through the credit union and then want to go to the bank. we know we are limited. we cannot afford to give out a big loan. starting from the credit union, we educate them about filing taxes properly and then moving on to the bank, a small one, expansion, and we work with the bank. the bank and credit union are similar. we do allow tax returns, projections. credit unions do not charge an additional loan or processing fee. processing time, on a small loan, -- consumer loans probably a few days. because we require a business plan, sometimes it takes longer. business plans take a while. especially bank statements. we need to see consistent income coming in. so far, a credit union delinquent rate is quite low because we are working with a client. we want to keep that low and as part of our mission. there is no application fee. if you are interested in an application or information, i have brochures, or you can give us a call. >> thank you. next is marked with wells fargo.

not a lot of people heeding the warnings. have seen a number of folks come down to take pictures. the warwick police also urged followings to stay inside. they say that their police and emergency personnel are having trouble getting from place to place. people are driving up to take a look at beaches. leaving cars on the streets to get a close are look at the beach and those cars are causing a problem for officials. power outages being seen all over the state. 160,000 to 170,000 people without power that the point in time. authorities say that could take hours if not a couple of days to get everybody back up and running. shep? >> shepard: molly line. we will check in with h her often as they clean off the camera lense. thanks very much. this is wnyw reporter dick brennan out as world famous cone in island. looks like it survived. let's listen in. >> a little more windy but for the most part i think you guys are on the news are more impressive with your endurance because this is winding down a little bit. >> what about you, do

a lot of friends. the best way to describe it is effective of crossed the street he had diarrhea bout it and wrote a variety of letters about it because he was a journalist and several friends either had diary entries or letters that wrote about olmstead crossing the street. created this kind of so many different takes -- to have so many things in his life to the accounting for them and very insightfully and often in very long -- 10 or 15 pages of explanation of being enraged about park design being rolled back or what ever and all the other people he would send letters to responding to create a rich trove to dig into. >> nobody will be as easy to follow in the future. >> exactly. >> a lot of other people's opinions. [talking over each other] >> i wonder what his facebook page look like. he 8 horrible food. that was interesting. his diet was terrible. interesting that you say that. in the early 1890s he was brought back to prospect park to figure out where the tennis house should go. he goes around and

so, a lot of this is new to us on the east coast, but i'm sure a lot of the viewers on the west coast are saying, welcome to the party. >> right. >> but that is a considerable, and that is a considerably going to affect obviously the afternoon commute and potentially tomorrow morning for amtrak and the northeast corridor, and secondly, a homeland security official tells me that a quick pulse around washington, d.c. finds no reports of any damage or any injuries from the earthquake here in the washington area, tamron. >> all right. thank you, pete. now, over to bill kcahill with the port authority in new york. and bill, start off with the information of where things stand right now. >> the federal aviation administration evacuated its control tower at john f. kennedy international and newark international airport after the tremblers hit. they are going to do an inspection to make sure that the building is sound. and we are going to inspect our airfields at those two airfields to make sure they are sound, and if they are, we will resume operations. our other airport, teterboro and lagua

costs a lot of money because you have to spend a lot of money to send. that's right money spent elsewhere so why is the u.s. empire spending so much money on wars instead of its own citizens. these lame rating agencies have been wrong about nearly everything for the past ten or fifteen years don't pay any attention to them ok so let's raise the rating agencies just how do they stack up well explain their mood swings and more. good evening it's friday august twelfth i'm lauren lyster here in washington d.c. and you're watching r t well the g.o.p. hopefuls last night bay stopped in iowa in a debate for the most part it was a sea of hawkish conservative foreign policy talking points you'd expect from a g.o.p. debate the threats of nukes in iran and why military spending should not be cut were widespread views that were expressed but on the stage a very different voice emerged to ron paul's and he got a lot of airtime to make his points on mainstream t.v. rick santorum even complained about it so what does this mean are we seeing a new era of politically tho

that that's been coming out of an ice age is been painting a mixed picture and that's why i think a lot of into investors are going to be trying to stay in the sidelines until at least this number comes out and particular this is going to coupled with a seasonal slowdown in august so when a lot of investors given all the uncertainties in the market prefer to sort of stand aside lawns and take conservative positions but i mean we're still in the bull market and this is just the pause and i think now when we pause in the good time to look at their winners or rather may be losers ok that's all for this out but don't forget you can always find most stories just log on to a website that sati dot com fastest. if. you. feel. the looming subsists futurists. subsists executed. if. i am a. wealthy british son i think. it's not time to explain if. the. markets.

i was in so i was a lot of. things together and say hold on wait a minute it was georgia that actually seems sort of started this car through russia . but we want to think twice about going all in and declaring you know we're all georgians that's ok that's not necessarily in us interest argument to the government of georgia has paid lobbyist since two thousand and four it's mean team close ties with washington. even after violent crackdown on anti-government demonstrators in two thousand and seven in two thousand and eleven more than the world. in elections that were criticised for irregularities by the organization of security cooperation in europe in two thousand and eight. the message would be delivered during the preparation for the war and during the time afterwards. thomas jefferson of georgia he is a democrat he's pro-american he's for you supports our values. and it's not just a little details about the way he treats his political opposition treats the media and george. denied being obvious in two thousan

feasible means that it may require a lot more money, a lot more alteration to get that done. under the ada, you need to be surveying your property and putting together both a short- term plan and a long-term plan. the short term plan is going to be the readily achievable solution. the long-term plan could take 20 years. i do not know. your business might not be making huge profits. you may need to be saving money for the long term. but it is your obligation to plan for the long term as well as the short term. the ada has a set of priorities that guide you on how you will be serving your property. the ada says a certain party of getting in the front door, but you are logical, you want your customers to access your services. be that steps, be that ramps, if the door is not wide enough, if the landing is not level enough. priority two is actually travel. once you get into your business and start speculating the wits of your files. access to all of your services.

he has a lot of momentum. d you saw him today draw a real contrast with the president, with president obama. he said, i'm basically going to be advocating low taxes, small government. he's trying to paint himself as the anti-president obama, if you will. but one thing, he hasn't been tested yet on the national stage, so we'll have to see how this plays out. i spoke to political insiders in texas who tell me the way to think about rick perry is not to any think about george bush. he is far more conservative than george w. bush. that will be interesting. george w. bush is self-proclaimed uniter. perry is not a uniter. he still does have a lot of momentum right no tow make things more interesting. andrea? >> kristen welker, thank you. >>> in new hampshire and iowa, two of our favorite states. that does it for us with at an dry yeah mitchell reports." more results coming up with chicago chotd. watch us every day at 1:00 p.m. send me your thought thoughts @mitchellreports. we are awaiting the critical results from t

politically we do have a lot of operation economically were incredibly interview and. there's a problem for both of us jobs in the united states migrating to china. the american dollar is held by trying to use in such quantity that they're worried frightened about what might happen. in the military sphere we've gone through two days under reagan and very bad days now there's a lot of distrust a lot of animosity. between sides actually purposely planning for a conflict it's really interesting that you say that because you know we do see from you know president hu coming here for the state dinner to this visit on the surface there seem to be a lot of you know nice pictures of the two countries meeting but i think it's important to talk about this behind the scenes as you say the two sides are planning for conflict is the u.s. has problem you know with china on an ideological basis or is it more that they're worried about china as a rival. it's not ideological the chinese don't have an ideology that they can articulate and they have no intention of imposing something they

got a lot of national coverage. it made some difference in people's lives, but i did not take a dime from any corporation. ok? so let's talk about how we go back to the model where people who need investigation, news -- because my duty is not to reflect corporations. let us not be proud that we are moving forward because we do not have journalist unions anymore. that's going back to selling the news that people need, and get rid of the middle man, which is turning out to be a lot of publishers. >> first, thank you for bringing that up. a great question. it gives me the opportunity to talk about two things i am passionate about, perspective and poor people. neither one of those things are efficient -- artificial when it becomes to becoming an millionaire. there is a website that i really liked called poormagazine. that has existed for the past 10 years, focusing on the homeless communities in the bay area. everything that they get is donations and they get few donations. they focus on the things that are ignored by th

we are missing a lot when we do not see that there is a lot of activity going on. there is a lot more than the tea party, is what i'm saying, and we just do not see that coverage. can you talk about the changes you have seen in sacramento as the number of reporters has been cut in more than half? >> as i say, when you decrease the number of reporters and do not have as many seasoned reporters, the depth of the information decreases. and that is a serious problem. i think the solution is in fact that we have to accept the economic realities that we have right now. that is that the normal business model of having print media -- that model is not sustainable. you have got to begin to reinvent that particular model and then in its place are these alternative news sources. you have to then ask the question whether or not they themselves can fill that particular role. we have to somehow get that information out to the general public. >> do we have more questions? >> it looks like i may be one of the only people here that does not remember what life was like before the in

it's less than half a block away from the parking lot. and i've been a student there and i'm also came back to work there and i know that they have been writing letters yesterday and today and they will be sending their letters of support for all the middle schoolers and high schoolers. i think it's good to have a park right next to the center instead of having to go to delores which is really crowded all the time and no running space. or franklin which is always busy with soccer players. and it's a little bit farther. they are really in support of this park, and a lot of the staff and a lot of the youth organizations around there would also really benefit from having an extrao

a lot of people are going to lose power, a lot of people are going to get damage from this storm, a lotof flooding, that's why we're asking people to heed the evacuation orders. >> and what, sir, is the risk that we're going to have, i heard today from three to six feet of standing water, above street level on a good portion of the east coast, from the tide water, newport news, all the way up to the new york metropolitan area, long island, new england. and the possibility of people actually being cut off, on their own camping for three to five days? >> well, that's again the evacuation zone is to get out. but we're going to get a lot of rain out of this, and we expect flash flooding and a lot of places get isolated so everybody from coast guard on down to local officials are getting ready to go out and do rescues of people that get cut off. but it's going to be a big storm. i think we need to be serious about this and let people know, we are going to have impacts and we're going have power outages, almost simultaneously from north carolina north experiencing and being impacted by this h

is working with a park plan to have it from a paid parking lot to a farc. meeting with all the local businesses and the various community groups involved will continue this fall. i wanted to show you an image of some of you -- at the full commission meeting when we brought this before you, a lot of the members were able to attend. a lot of those kids are in school today and couldn't ble here again today. i wanted to mention that they came and represented their support for this project. again, the m.t.a., the planning department, community organizations, supervisors kim and camp oasto s's office. we have -- canpos'office. so currently the site is a paid parking lot owned by the san francisco public utilities commission. it's surrounded by residentses, businesses, community organizations and a high-density, low-income, culturally diversed neighborhood diefficient of open space. -- deficient of open space. what happened there? so this is the portion of the site that would be occupied by the park. the other portion would be -- at the same project being sold to

but i think there is a lot of potential, actually, for building a business on top of distribution through mobile. the other thing we have got going on is really profoundly exciting and far more exciting than five years ago, that the tools are so much better than they were five years ago. they are profoundly better. compared to the dark days of 2005, media are now -- everybody is online. facebook can launch a product, and really, overnight, build community on thousands of websites. there really are some exciting things going on. in the last five years, things have changed a lot. >> does that count -- does that excitement also extend to content? >> i do not think we are there yet. i do not think we have seen any digital native content that has produced really ground-breaking journalism. a couple of years ago, we were pretty excited about what was happening at a place like talking points memo, where they were doing some great stuff. we have seen a lot of efforts, but things like rupert murdoch's daily have not excited us on a journalistic level. but i think we are laying groundwork for some

at&t means a lot, our brand means a lot. we are going to help them enhance their life with all the products and services. friendly. that is self-explanatory. in this business, a smile goes a long way. we need to make sure we are friendly for our customers, and all the tourists coming to san francisco. and we have to be fast. we used to have a window seals over here. people would be sitting in them. it was too small of a store and we were not meeting their demands. we least the store next to us, which i will show you, which has some really neat things. before people used to have to drive out of town to get their devices worked on, or mail them in. today, we have a device support center. they can come in, sit down, let some people work on their own, possibly exchange, and that up front, we have a go phone section. number one, this helps our prepaid customers, and it also does a lot for tourism. we get a lot of tourists who come here and we do not need them in the store. we want them out supporting the community. this gives the

a lot going on. what are people sang? reporter: people are putting up eizip co z, jenna, to find out exalyhich areas will get hurt the mt. and oula geseally touched on a big issue that's on the chat right now, and that has to do with the inland impact of this. d, you know, people just want to know how far inland iit gointo go,so there putting up their zip codes which is a new trend i had not seen. get to it by going to foews.com anjueneath the top storon our home page is a click that says "happening now"'s live chat, america's asking. click on it, we'd love to read your comments. i'm forwarding some of these to janice dean because many of them are for her. hello, janice, i'm going to be in d.c. this weekend, what to expect? that's from randy arnold. he just wants to know exactly what's going to happen. a lot of people are vacationing still, this is the last run-up to labor day weekend, and they're wondering what is this going to be like? while you're on our page, check out your choice in all of this in the terms of the mu

a lot of people keep year for jobs. and then potrero hill is very different because is kind of a new yuppie population, and little hollywood and dog patch. >> historical, district and has been home to shipyards, heavy industry, and a naval base. now, the naval base and most of the shipyards and factories are closed, but the environmental problems continue to impact the district. let's hear how residents are responding to the environmental and health issues they are facing. >> it was hard to breathe last night. i woke up coughing, you know? those are the things that we go through because of the contamination out here. >> this community has a history of issues, environmental issues that have been let go, just run amok. sitting in a meeting once with the health department, we discovered haphazardly that they had known for years that in bayview hunters point, african- american women under the age of 50 had the highest rate of breast cancer in the entire state, but the health department has noted for years, and they failed to

this can lead to a lot of corruption as well. it is easy to do that in the italian regime but democracy drive to be selective. you target the this start with two sectors and a week later you have five sectors and a month later you have u.s. emphasizing the whole economy. the best thing they could do using that as an example, try to channel those resources. one of the biggest weaknesses of the region which is education, technology, then you are going to be able not just to be stuck in exports but to add value to those exports. that is a clear opportunity we have. i keep thinking not just trying to challenge u.s. interests but the wealth of resources the region has and companies where you look at natural resources and add sophistication to it, that is a more sensible way of investing this money although it will just be wasted one more time. >> gerri willis said. thank you very much. we don't have a lot of time but i want to go to the audience and bring you in. let's take a round of three questions. keep statements to a minimum. let'

but also, a lot of community arts centers. there is all these community arts space is that i just love, and it makes our neighborhoods a much more colorful and livable as well. >> what motivated your interest in politics? >> i guess i have always been passionate about civil rights and equality for everyone, and i have a 10-year-old daughter, so having a girl has made me much more sensitive to gender equality and other issues, but i guess i have always been someone that is vocal about my politics, but as a supervisor, and having to listen to many perspectives before making key decisions. as an activist in chinatown, i have always felt that working families and people who work in our neighborhoods need to have much more support. it is always about giving more voice to immigrants or the underserved and workers in the city. that is what drives my passion as a supervisor. >> tell me about the process of running for supervisor. what did you learn from the campaign process? was anything surprising? supervisor mar: i had to move from b

we have a seat height to be concerned about, but a lot of other things. for example, people worry about getting into bathtubs because they are slippery. how do you deal with that? >> it all depends. the most important thing you can do is have a grab bar for the tub and shower. we think about the toilet heights. we think about having barrier- free back from -- bathrooms. if you are in a wheelchair, a shower curtain would be a barrier. thinking about the door to the bathroom. you want to have a nice, white door. 3 feet would be very nice. even a little bit larger bathrooms are you could maneuver in it would be helpful. >> let's look at some six. we got an e-mail from some of who watches us online who had a question about whether or not there are any downside to getting one of these vessels sinks, one of the six that sits on top of the counter. >> that is one of the reasons i like j.c. plumbing. they have a great selection, and i can make my point. let's compare these two six. this is a bowl shape, and this is a ceramic that comes straight down. the disadvant

and mean, i've been through a lot in my life. iting this book, that was a little bit of what i went through. it was trauma to me. amazing that i'm still here to tell my story. i think god kept me here to tell my story. he wanted me to tell the story. it's amazing. i lost my brothers. that was the most painful thing in my life. i lost one of my best friends. fans and family that i love. i just lost my dad, too. you know, it's crazy because of lost all those people, but i'm still here. the other day and sitting. i start thinking about all of them. no, man. i wish my brother was still here. i lost -- my brother james. lost a brother tyrrell. a lost a brother, my father's son. three brothers within the last ten years. and it hurt. it does. >> it is hard to always expressed to someone else what they have done for you. is there anything that comes to mind. if you would have had one since summer beaches to, what would those two sentences be about what you would say to john about what he is done for you as best as you can and however you

we had a lot of help from the community. community-based organizations, boys club, the police department, especially this year has made a difference since the chief has stepped into his role. we feel like we have a good communication with muni, thanks to some of the leadership there. 95% of our responders that participated were from the southeast sector and in the first survey we conducted last september, the top three issues were education, -- economy, education, and safety. and among illegal chinese residents, a safety remains overwhelmingly -- among chinese residents, safety remains overwhelmingly the number one concern. when we did the follow-up survey this past june, that had shifted and safety was no. 3. it was the economy and education. it was about jobs and economic survival. for the monolingual chinese speaking population, it remained safety. over 80% of the responders stated that the ambassador program had made a positive difference for them. about 40% reported feeling safer on muni. the monolingual residents, 50% s

>> a lot of these things taken by themselves aren't that big a deal. in aggregate you start to see narratives that he plays into. the biggest weakness is the authenticity issue. people talk about health care. the authenticity stuff is really his biggest liability. and, you know, part of -- jill lawrence wrote about this in the daily beast, "newsweek" earlier this week, rapping some of the awkwardness from the trail. but with this town hall, sure in the greater context of it, this was a woman who was going on. she was clearly not a reporter. and he was trying to move on. >> move on. >> right. but the problem is, there are easier says to defuse a situation like this. and good politicians know how to take someone like that and, you know, kind of pacify. >> thanks for your thoughts. >> yeah. >> talking points. >> that's part of the problem when you, you know, people are going to ask, is that really who mitt romney is? yes, chris christie made his youtube moment for yelling at people at town halls. >> romney, chris christie. we're going to go back, we have

we do a lot of tree plantings. all of you must intuitively go, "of course it's good to plant trees," of course, i want to put a rain barrel on my house." but is there a measurable environmental impact? trees are going to take up a lot of stormwater over time and are kind of a long-term green investment. we've had more than 200 volunteers come out planting street trees. we need people to make active changes on their property. and to reduce the amount of flow that's going into the combined sewer lines, we're trying to install 4,000 rain barrels. narrator: homeowners can disconnect roof gutter downspouts from the sewer system and divert the stormwater into a rain barrel. schombert: the rain water then can be used to water lawns and gardens and infiltrate back in the ground slowly, rather than being piped to a creek where it disappears moments after the storm's over. it's being held within the watershed and it helps regenerate ground water and stream flows. hecht: that's what we're going to do this afternoon is think ab

. >> and you are talking about the interim strategies because there are a lot of vacant sites and if you drive through the area with the determinal completely gone and almost like a tornado has gone through and while it is great to stand in the open spaces, that is not sustainable 30-year condition. what are your thoughts on that? >> on attracting development or what? >> and let's say it will be a 10-year horizon to have that kind of building and urban agriculture? >> the terminal is set for construction and is set for construction, but the other site is important to continue with the recent discussions that we have had here from you is that the sites haven't be left fallow and be left in a condition that is atrafktive, green, whatever it might be. -- that will be attractive, green, whatever it might be. none of us want a hole in the ground. that is something we will be including. >> which would kind of tag into commissioner borden's idea of interim phasing and if you see markets that are not all va kapt but what is an interim strategy and to complete the skyline and to whatever it mi

but a lot of investors, a lot of strategists are looking more at companies. and we just came off a quarter, the second quarter when the company earnings were really strong, up about 15 percent which is a really solid number. their balance sheets, in other words, their financial conditions are in very, very good shape. we've got strong cash positions and they're doing really well with, selling things that other parts of the world as our exports expand. you have two different stories here. the one very, very encouraging part of this whole picture is that yes, i know, the stock market declined. but for corporations it declined to levels that some would argue is very, very cheap and therefore very, very attractive. that's the good part of the silver lining behind this dark cloud. >> woodruff: so how do you square that contradiction, gillian tett, and quickly bring in the european part of the equation, and why that's a worry here in the u.s.? >> they're totally related. because right now one of the things that's holding the companies back from spending that pile of

the housing bubble mask the a lot of problems. it allows middle class consumers whose wages were not growing for a decade to feel they were getting ahead by taking on more and more debt and expect housing debt to make up the difference. that fig leaf blew aware. it's going to take another couple of years if you look at debt levels for consumers to finish deleveraging, get back to sustainable debt levels, and to be able to spend again. when that happens and unemployment is high, it is appropriate and necessary for the government to step in and provide support for the economy and direct job growth. we need to worry about the debt in the long run. we need to pass binding measures today to reduce the get -- the debt once the economy is halted again, but it's dead wrong to move towards austerity today, and it is something we, as citizens, i think, need to struggle against. what we should be doing is investing much more in infrastructure, for instance, which is deteriorating and decaying. it's an investment, and we could bring, you know,

for companies specially for the financial sector during the financial crisis all that happened was a lot of that was transferred to the public sector to government but it still exists you know debt levels of come down a little bit in some places but they've only gone up elsewhere so the problem that we fundamentally had going into that period still exists today and i think that's why it doesn't necessarily mean you know the quite think of the question as to will this look exactly like the. fall of two thousand and eight is a little bit misguided because the problem is this is all part of the same problem and we're really still trying to work through a lot of these debt issues and until we can get to the other side of that we're not going to be over this period unfortunately that's going to take a long time just as long as it did to build up in the first place but here are we unfortunately also at the will of europe's debt crisis i mean what happens right if european countries do you fall or if european banks start collapsing everyone has their eye on the french banking sector right now t
