now nationwide parliament will 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 take a to hold a debate which a lot of people said you know we don't need a debate right now what we need is actual action but the government and not proposing to introduce any emergency legislation is still with this situation and i'm here this morning in tottenham where of course it all began it will spalt up as a result of the shooting of a man called mob dog and what the building you can see things in polish behind me was set on fire by you says on the first night if 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. to youth worker in clapham yesterday he told me that people are on their summer holiday and would you rather

can i don't mean anything more than eight percent 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. gerald patton says money's being spent on foreign wars that should be spent home but i think the point has come where we have to call in young horses what we've seen now and. criminality across the whole of long what we should do in my view is pull our troops back from these pointless wars in afghanistan in iraq. as money spent on two wars in foreign lands parts of london birmingham liverpool and bristol i sensually get. partly because of high immigration but also because young people
5:06 am
in these communities have no prospects they're bored and disaffected and as the cuts bite that's not going to improve a classroom youth worker told me fought out of eight youth centers have closed since last year it's about invest in your communities we take away the money from the police in we take the money from the youth what. are we are never of imagine such consequences to be only you know. a consequence of tuesday night sixteen thousand police officers on the streets of london according to the metropolitan police the forces being stretched more than ever before and increasingly londoners are talking about taking matters into their own hands bringing with it to ation under control is just the beginning of gold being the 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

turmoil grips financial markets it's this reluctance to put work first which some economists blame for getting europe into trouble in the beginning daniel bushell has more. of the united states the french are next on the credits a hit list to surrender the top rating france. according to rule of people at least. it's for play status. known for its life thirty five working week economists say the real reason why france like e.u. neighbors is in trouble they just don't work hard enough. is coming from heaven europeans are somewhat. and vital to the world without actually doing something for them so the e.u. dream is becoming annoyed smear the citizens demand better services working less exposed just three states should stay in the euro germany the
5:09 am
netherlands and belgium against share the same currency without having economic costs those nations know lead a growing resistance against fellow members because the sins of the pale centers on three issues people don't want to pay for others' mistakes they haven't been consulted and the money doesn't even seem to be helping italy this week became the latest country to bring out the big bowl but economists think it needs to deal with its own problems i think it is uncompetitive italy is growing relatively slow italy and spain have announced spending cuts but it's feared no with me enough to balance the books the e.u. citizens of being tricked into picking up the tab say analysts italy and spain it is being bought by the european central bank because all merry people called cross their fancy methods yet the easybeats funded by europe's taxpayers they don't want
5:10 am
to pay for these lousy greek spanish people but when they use the e.c.b. . nobody understands it's going to fridge points minister friends will burn ruins books of. phones as fears grow good friends is mixed with the loops of wars move. the last remaining careful states we have already how do you know. see brussels. could top the list of the world's strongest economies pushing the u.s. off its centri old seat when expected that's according to the international monetary fund which has the power shift in the financial arena to exist in its twenty sixteen parties proofreader is in asia with. the latest international monetary fund predictions are showing that china's economy will actually grow bigger than the u.s. economy by twenty sixteen which will be the first time in more than
5:11 am
a century that the united states economy will not be the biggest economy in the world initially we were thinking asian markets falling but people are saying that there really is only a short term impact and that in the long run that asian countries are actually better equipped they're dealing with a sigh initial crisis india china and japan have actually been growing since two thousand and eight well obviously that's not really happening in the west as significantly also you know foreign investors if they start following the path of risk aversion and moving away from u.s. treasury bonds many people are saying that they could start investing more in asian markets like india and china so many people over here are actually seeing all of this as an opportunity for that shift to really happen for more of the international community to get on board and move away from the dollar as the reserve currency into some sort of basket currency that could include a lot of the asian powerhouses like japan and china. well for more on the power
5:12 am
transfer in the global economy we can cross live to martin who is the rector of financial advisory firm tice group limited joining us live in hong kong now what makes the i.m.f. think that china could leap frog the u.s. four years ahead of the initial predictions. i don't know it all regional prediction properly. now you mean china overtaking the united states as the raw number one economy actually different projections let's say the i.m.f. is saying that. by two thousand and sixteen you have the economic forum that's. based in new york they actually said to. us next year in many in many regards china has already overtaken clearly. these are for that number one economy in the united states and that's when you're looking at the
5:13 am
physical economy physical production there on a purchasing power adjusted basis because they're women years undervalued and we need to reflect that when looking at economic sizes it does seem a bit ironic though doesn't it the china is the biggest foreign buyer of u.s. treasuries so you would wonder how a country with approximately seventy percent of reserves invested in dollar assets could really benefit from the u.s. this current problems. well i didn't say there you said. but basically you know you have to put your money somewhere at the end of the day and what you need to understand this first of all what's the nature of the rest of that crisis projection by standard and poor's made in the year two thousand there are six years before now where they actually projected that all of the major western governments were heading for junk status including france the u.s. germany and the u.k. and they started actually saying that they do as they would lose their aaa rating
5:14 am
stages in two thousand and sixteen so now riyadh actually five years ahead of that original projection and there was a major rating agency saying this things might happen even before the financial crisis hit another balance sheets of these countries if anything would have only gotten worse which is why the u.s. has lost the rating that year to fund the gang bailouts now also in the euro zone funding all of these countries bailouts and soon after the triple rating was to be lost you could see the downgrade projections their man made leading quite soon to junk status and what that means is when you have economies in asia economy is rather deficits and they're out of control and you have this kind of projections on the line that means that these countries are usually going to print their way out of the problem so you're the main risk and the new form of this one enterprises will probably be very high to hyperinflation in the western kansas and that means
5:15 am
investment wise you need to look at other areas particularly gold precious metals is something we have been advising for the past ten years we still are optimistic on that and then asian emerging market economies look a lot better than the western countries and even equity is generally in the in those emerging market economies such as china they represent some form of assets that are more inflation proven wrong so in two thousand and eight. what it is and which is where the growth think will be and ultimately as an end result of the crisis this time around commodities may be the real safe haven to be in equities may actually be out of print on bonds because equities are no inflation problem violence about the end result of the crisis what are we looking at here are we looking at another global recession. we're looking at potential national bankruptcy of the western countries as projected by by standard and poor's quite a while ago and so that's what we're looking at we're looking at a government on crisis the crisis was a banking crisis
5:16 am
a stock market crash now we're looking at the heart of the financial system which is that government bonds and then when people lose trust in those government bonds then they will also lose trust in their currencies and sell of their currencies and of course our rating agencies they cause people to lose trust as well don't they just how credible are these ratings agencies and how responsible are they for this panic now. some people say it's only because of the credit rating agency where first of all i don't like them at all they're not reliable remember that. in two thousand and eight they were rated aaa and then the next thing you know they were basically froze and you know i led sapir to have been quite a bit of conflict of interest so i think actually the chinese rating agency dugong is a lot more reliable than the western ones but i have already downgraded the us to a single now with a negative outlook and there are few others of more reliable ones but certainly iran thing that it's only the rating agencies that are causing this mess in europe and the united states now in fact these ratings are valid you're probably more
5:17 am
realistically when you're looking at a total of fiscal gap the whole shortfall of the united states finances that number is two hundred eleven trillion us dollars you google the lawrence quarter a professor of economics at boston university in the united states he is writing for the federal reserve bank for the i.m.f. and so on and look it up fiscal gap two hundred eleven trillion us dollars that's that's not too far from greece and therefore i mean the u.s. even double a rating that's ridiculous they should be follow up so the rating agencies and exaggerating here even in europe they are should all be far far lower than they are and they have their own problems not just because of the writing agencies most of thanks so much for sharing your thoughts martin helical that's all we've got time for associate director of tides group limited produced live from hong kong thanks very much indeed. well of course we would like to hear your opinion you can log on to our website it is r t dot com to participate in our latest poll and we're asking if eastern economies will be able to use current
5:18 am
financial terms to their advantage in a present the most popular response is yes the east will rule the world closely followed by the view they'll become a strong as the west go online to r.t. dot com to contribute good to hear what you have to say. south korea's navy is open for towards north korea off the shelves from the north pole close to their western seaboard or relations between the two countries have been unstable since an artillery exchange in november last year claimed four lives let's talk more on this with professor really good friend from the university of vienna thanks so much for being with us here on r.t. now could we see a repeat of that young pyong island incident when the north part shells killing four people claiming it was responding to provocation are we going to see an escalation in tension again. well of course we all hope that this will not be the case that information is yours to lose customers will be going to you know exactly
5:19 am
what was going on it's a little bit surprising in the short term because the hopeful signs of towards an issue between north and south korea. oh a little bit surprised just this is happening now on the whole school system as the situation is complicated and they might have to show some force to do it population so you're still struggling to find out what that really means and how despicable are the two countries technically remain at war following the nine hundred fifty to fifty three korean war. people wonder of course will there ever be a peace agreement and if we do see tensions escalating and things getting worse what could be the consequences if those two really made matters worse between themselves. well of course eventually we all think it was going to be a peace agreement because current situation is obviously not sustainable approaches when under which conditions and right now north korea are struggling with succession problem they have a domestic economy that is really dark also worsened by the recent floodings and
5:20 am
next year to have a big event coming up with the need to show some success to their people so that is a time really of things are possible and it's enormously hard to see how this will develop in the short run here could you explain a bit more about the succession problem or was he seemed pretty some more into the spotlight as his successor so what can we expect if any changes in the future if indeed his son does take. well so far it's not even clear word of his son will really pick power because he has not yet officially been announced their successor and expect this to lose next year even if you were heard still not clear what type of success that he will be really a third grade leader or will he be more like a head of a collective like to be seen in china and all those questions are not only asked by us in the worst but also by people in north korea it creates a lot of uncertainty and insecurity and for such a monolithic system as north korea such questions and such is you curious to use
5:21 am
a really dangerous one issue of course that is really isolating north korea is the potential or perceived nuclear ambitions of the country how do you read the situation there at the moment you think eleven like and give up these ambitions everybody suspecting them of having well i think it is of course going to be possible that north korea who eventually give up its nuclear ambitions but for the time be this is very unlikely it's about the only thing good thing i've got to keep them involved with the international community about the only success that control your control to his people ever since he took power distribution is way to ten. as for north korea to give up your viewpoint it should be actually so i'd say that in the long run dog good chances for those aleutian right now with you can do is simply try to prevent proliferation and look for the solution just briefly on that point then could it be argued that some countries actually stand to gain from this ongoing tension between the two koreas just briefly. there's
5:22 am
a good stores do not want to see in egypt a strategic cause in the music. and it is really interesting to hear what you have to say thanks so much your time professor dr really good friend chair of east asian economy and society joining us live there from the university of vienna thank you thank you sir. russia's high court will reopen the case of a suspected pedophile today who walked away free after his first trial as hundreds of child abuse suspects escape justice in russia each year the authorities are going call to take a tougher stance i think done a push over reports on health that up mothers and activists are taking that as it's of their own hands and mother in grief. was. even thought of buying a pistol and shooting him myself i simply don't know how else to protect my family live on the first floor with curtains constantly drawn i go to work every day with fear for my daughter richard only what shape. it was hard for you do admit she
