international news and comment live from moscow this is r.t. with twenty four hours a day just turned midday here in the russian capital sporadic violence has broken out in cities across the u.k. for a fourth night in a row more than half a dozen volunteers spots a flare over the past few days buildings were set ablaze and shops looted hundreds of people have been arrested and one man's been confirmed dead and joins us now from the british capital with the latest we understand the streets of london a relatively calm at the moment but what's the situation like in the rest of the country. yeah much calmer last night as i was going home from the office last night all the shops and buildings had all been barricaded ready for really

a nice of violence everyone's battening down the hatches but lucky for us in london didn't happen but conversely in the rest of the country it looks like the violence is just beginning we saw a lot of trouble in birmingham last night which we also had seen on the previous night manchester and solfeggio safelight up in quite a serious way as did variety of sort of small towns in the surrounding areas so this violence has now spread out with from the capital into really improbable small towns all over the country we're hearing reports that three people were killed in birmingham when they were run a full choir car that was just running amok and that police are looking at investing a lot ching murder inquiry the reason that it was under control last night we think is because an additional ten thousand police bringing the number of police to take it sixteen thousand were working on the streets of london last night they had permission to use rubber bullets if they had to a supply of rubber bullets is available to them we haven't heard any reports of

that having to be actually deployed we still fires in other parts of the country looting police being attacked with brooks and with petrol bombs so really this is this is something that is now nationwide that we've seen cutting short his shoulder all this crisis and he saw the government's call it back under control. basic very unusual measure calling parliament to parliament we'll come back and meet today coming back from that some a break to deal with the situation but i have to say that a lot of people were very disappointed in david cameron statement yesterday they were expecting him to come in here and say this is out of control we have to do something concrete about him what we're going to do is this this and this in fact he didn't say that parliament is coming back today they're going to they're going to hold a debate which is. people said you know we don't need a debate right now what we need is actual action but big government and not proposing to introduce any emergency legislation to deal with the situation i'm

here this morning in tottenham where of course it all began it all spots up as a result so that the shooting of a man called mob dugan what the building you can see being demolished behind me was set on fire by jesus on the first night of these troubles and these communities in which the violence is taking place are hugely socially deprived there's nothing for young people to do around here i speak to youth worker in clapham yesterday he told me that people are on their summer holiday and would you rather sit and watch the television i would you rather go out and lisa shops and she said even she knows which one she choose you know people out for excitement essentially and and and i just looking for something to occupy themselves in that hole in that level of occupation is being exploited by other people who are who are coming in and older people older criminals who are coming in and so i sing them to violence at least that's what she told me say really really large social problems and it's time when when the u.k. is spending an awful lot of money a broad base in libya and in afghanistan and that's the subject of my report.

johnson a rawlings in a riot step a statement to a mixed reception delivering the government's message to rioters that they'll feel the full force of the. people you're going to see. across england and wales more than eleven thousand police have already been laid off in austerity measures by two thousand and fifteen a total of thirty four thousand well meanwhile london and other cities are taken over by thugs the police have not been anywhere where the police if the police what it means are i think any surprise i can cause a little bit better i don't think that doing everything they can they may see more quite i get a need to be more competent. while police numbers are being cut the estimated cost of the war in afghanistan from two thousand and one to the end of last month was

thirty billion dollars all taxpayer cash british forces are also heavily involved in libya despite the ministry of defense being required to lose thirty two thousand start m.e.p. gerard batten says money's being spent on foreign wars that should be spent at home i think the point has come where we have to call in force was what we've seen now and. criminality across the whole of london what we should do in my view is call our troops back from these pointless wars in afghanistan in iraq. as money's spent on two wars in foreign lands parts of london birmingham liverpool and bristol i sensually get to use partly because of high immigration but also because young people in these communities have no prospects they're bored and disaffected and as the cuts bite that's not going to improve a class youth worker told me fought out of eight youth centers has closed since

last year it's about investing in our communities we take away the money from the police in a way the money for youth work didn't i mean i could never imagine such consequences to be on is this is you know but consequences tuesday night saw sixteen thousand police officers on the streets of london according to the metropolitan police the force is being stretched more than ever before i didn't creasing londoners are talking about taking matters into their own hands bringing with it to ation under control is just the beginning of folding this problem and it's not just about cleaning up it's about communities coming to terms with the fact that even at the current numbers if violence is widespread enough the police mean i'm able to retain control the feeling of insecurity. i mean it's even likely to remain for some time particularly if police keep disappearing from the pain.

with police and emergency services stretched to the limits many among them is a be left to fend for themselves. some self says the government should have learnt from what's being going on elsewhere in the world. to be honest this is one of the most shocking things i've ever had the displeasure of seeing was in brixton early monday morning about one am. gangs of youths who were some of which had fled from central brixton into the surrounding areas like stockwell barricade in the streets with rubbish bins or anything they could find in order to stop cars and try to pull drivers from the cars and take the cars. in one instance and one man came to help the driver and he was beaten by a gang of six or seven young black youths in brixton very frightening i was barricaded in

a pub for part of the time i couldn't go out and the pub got see just about an hour after the incident so no police to be found. if you dial nine nine nine the police said sorry we can't help you just stay where you are now if the leadership of this country and the heads of the police departments everything have been paying attention to what's going on around the world in the middle east in north africa the leadership in britain in the police force in britain think oh we're different no it's the same you have mobile phones blackberries twitter you have able to outmaneuver the police at any turn and the police cannot cope with this and unfortunately the criminal element know this my advice to the leadership in this country he's and david cameron and everybody else stop playing politics stop playing labor and conservative in the blame game and you've got to start looking at what's going on the street. and we have full coverage online of the situation on the streets of london jury and the riots our website has all the footage of london's a living nightmare. dot com. president
