it's three pm in moscow this is our coming to you live nice now with our top story this hour sporadic violence has broken out in cities across the u.k. for a fourth night in a row more than half a dozen violent hotspots have flared up over the past few days buildings were set ablaze and shops looted hundreds of people have been arrested and it's been confirmed four have been killed in the violence more m. it is in the british capital with the latest. we saw a lot of trouble in birmingham last night which we also had seen on the previous night manchester itself it also floods off in quite a serious way as did variety of sort of small towns in the surrounding areas so this violence has now spread out words from the capital into really improbable small towns all over the country an additional ten thousand police bringing the

number of police to a table of sixteen thousand working on the streets of london last night they had permission to use rubber bullets if they had to a supply of rubber bullets was 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 police being attacked with rocks and with petrol bombs so really this is this is something that is 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 they're going 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 big government and not proposing to introduce any emergency legislation to deal with the situation in

these communities in which the violence is taking place so hugely socially deprived there's nothing for young people to do around here pretty large social problems at a 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. 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 will meanwhile london and other cities are taken over by thugs the police have not been anywhere where the police if the pay. that would have been i think any surprises out a little bit better i don't think they're doing everything they can i don't mean to be more violent i think they need. 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 but i think the point has come where we have to call in the armed forces what we're seeing now is. chaotic criminality across the whole of london 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 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 four out of eight youth centers have closed since last

year it's about investing in our communities when when you take away the money from the police in you take the money from the youth work. i mean i could never imagine such consequences to be honest this is. a consequence of 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 and increasingly 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 it's not just about cleaning up it's about communities coming to terms with the by. even at the current numbers if violence is widespread enough the police seem unable to retain control the feeling of insecurity in these communities is likely to remain for some time particularly if police keep disappearing from the lower and it's all tea cup of london. well our correspondents are keeping

a very close eye on the events as they unfold in london and beyond bringing you the latest updates on twitter you can follow the seat of our t underscore column in her latest tweet laura talks about how londoners have been taking to the streets of the british capital in a massive cleanup operation people armed mcduff's pounds and brushes unite together to tidy up the mess for more stay with more on our twitter throughout the day for the latest details coming out. now as police and the emergency services stretch to their limits many londoners have been left to fend for themselves freelance journalist patrick kennedy get henningsen who got caught up in the violence himself so the government should have learnt from what's been going on elsewhere in the world. to be honest it's 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 the 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 all in one instance this happened 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 because we couldn't go out and the pub sieged about an hour after the incident so no police to be found even if you dialed 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 you know it's the same you have. phones blackberries twitter you

have mobs that are 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 of this country all your m.p.'s and david cameron and everybody else stop playing politics stop playing labor and conservative the blame game and you've got to start looking at what's going on the street. those who have full coverage online of the situation on the streets of london riots continue our website as the latest footage of london living nightmare check those previews out head to our t.v. dot com. in other news the eurozone is struggling to keep its economy afloat with rumors france is next in line for a downgrade president nicolas sarkozy has to hold an emergency meeting he's interrupted his summer holiday after criticism for staying away while the turmoil grips financial markets meanwhile the italian treasury borrowing costs drop sharply in its latest bond sale but while europe has further into the red elsewhere there

a big that we will be in doubt so we'll be back at that announcement would be that much of the market was helping the quantitative easing that is to be not that's not what the u.s. federal reserve that what they said in that was that they were going to be keeping interest rate. the next two years it's about mitt's twenty c. now wolf to the effect that had initially not the markets are going tumbling but we fooled them play yes they did about pulpit that's up. close having the post events we saw it this morning but as the days progress with this volatility come back in best is still have the kisses. plus a look at the equity markets here in russia which on usually are north tracking the more positive moves in europe and the you asked the arts yes as a point eight percent of all my sex as a point three. european markets are in the black helped by the rally on wall street

a lot of concern about sovereign debt there's concern about the u.s. debt and there's concern about the economy and those are strong components of why gold is perform well as far as whether it's in a bubble or not there are very few people actually invested in gold so it's still under penetrated in the marketplace and it hasn't hit all of its all time inflation adjusted high of twenty three hundred dollars so many analysts are saying that there's still a lot of running room for the price of gold even given its price point today. the russian ruble has seen a dramatic decline against the year and the us dollar and recent days prime minister putin has pledged to pump extra money into the economy if needed but the central bank confirmed it would not see why the liveable exchange rate quarter jaroslav us of all excess the book was former ability is linked to its dependence on oil. the scale of the klein and the ruble is mentally linked to the outlook on oil prices and the main reason why the scale of the decline is so

significant is the fear that russia is still inherently very much dependent on oil prices this dependency hasn't gone away it's still very high and that means that if oil prices were to decline substantially below say one hundred dollars per barrel. russia would be under significant strain in terms of its macro economy so i think it's some of these concerns that are really will lead to russia's lingering dependency on oil prices that are fueling that are driving this decline in the ruble. and that's all the business news for now alice will have the next update for you in less than an hour in the meantime states and for the headlines for the.
