it's seven pm in moscow this is r t coming to life i'm nice now with our top story this evening a world when the violence continues in the u.k. as rioters devastate major cities from birmingham to liverpool the gangs clashed with police torched cars and ransacked shops and a fourth night of unrest over the capital was kept relatively quiet by sixteen thousand police officers were met is following the story in london. we saw a lot of trouble in birmingham last night which we also had seen on the previous night manchester unselfish i will say flat out in quite a serious way as states variety of sort of small towns in the surrounding area say this violence has now spread out words 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 vote by a car that was just running amok and that police are looking at investigated

launching 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 was available to them we haven't heard any reports of that having the t.v. actually deployed we still fires in other parts of the country losing 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 it and 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. 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 hearing in tottenham where of course it all began it'll spot up as a result of the shooting of a man called mark duggan what the building you can see being demolished behind me was set on fire by usage 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 i speak to youth worker in clapham yesterday he told me that people are on their summer holiday and would you rather sit in washington have vision and would you rather go out and do some shops and she said even she knows which one she choose you know people are out for excitement essentially and just looking for something to occupy themselves and that hole in that level of occupation is being exploited by other people who are you 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

at a time when when the u.k. is spending an awful lot of money abroad space 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 if the police if the police were hit that would've been i think any surprising soudan little bit back so i don't think that doing everything they can i think makes me more i think they need to be more competent while police numbers of 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 old taxpayer cash british forces are also heavily involved in libya despite the ministry of defense being required to lose thirty two thousand star.

and says money's being spent on foreign wars that should be spent at home but i think that the point has come where we have to call in the armed forces what we see now and. criminality across the whole of 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 to 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 we take away the money from the police in the way that the money for youth work. i mean i could never have imagined such consequences to be only. 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 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 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 beat your i am it r t london. where on twitter you can find the latest updates on what's happening in britain from artier to r.t. underscore carmen right now. the u.k. will model our culture of fear to take over the. another tweet talked about how

himself caught up in the mayhem so the government's and stop playing political games and address the important issues. to be honest is one of the most shocking things i've ever had the displeasure of seeing was in brixton early monday morning about one am i saw 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. 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 you couldn't go out and the pub got siege to about an hour after the. 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 you know it's the same you have mobile phones blackberries twitter you have mobs they're 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. here with r t live from moscow still ahead for you this hour back at all the port of new delhi from north korea as its southern neighbor returns fire after an artillery shell from the north falls into the waters close to both countries dividing line. and we discover how activists

organize their own vigilante campaign against sexual predators as a pedophile offenders escape justice in. the first american markets have lost much of their tuesday's gains in early trading amid uncertainty over growth prospects and financial turmoil in both the us and the euro zone investors are increasingly looking for a safe haven for their money and it looks like asia could emerge as the main contender many analysts believe that with the loss of america's aaa credit score and fears of a new wave of recession china could become the world's strongest economy earlier than expected previously the international monetary fund said beijing forced washington from its financial throne by twenty sixteen china of course still holds more u.s. treasury debt than any other foreign country and its voice loud criticism of america's handling of its borrowing limit crisis for asia correspondent chris reader has details. the late. it is 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 a century that the united states economy will not be the biggest economy in the world initially we were seeing 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 at dealing with this financial crisis india china and japan have actually been growing since two thousand and eight while 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 is to some sort of basket currency that could include a lot of the asian powerhouses like japan and china. well martin headachy associate director of the financial advisory firm tie scroope believes the financial power shift might have already happened. in many regards china has already overtaken clearly. suppose it number one economy in the united states and that's when you're looking at the physical economy physical production they were on the purchasing power adjusted basis because their renminbi is undervalued and they need to reflect that event looking at economic sizes yes had a projection by standard and poor's made in the year two thousand and five there was 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 the u.s. would lose their aaa rating stages in two thousand and sixteen so not actually five

years ahead of that original projection now the balance sheets of these countries if anything would have only gotten worse which is why the u.s. has lost a aaa rating when you have economies major economies where the deficits and out of control and you have this kind of projections on the line that means that these countries are usually going to print that they are the problem so you may main risk and the new form of this financial crisis will probably be very high to hyperinflation in the west and cons in that means investment rise you need to know that are the areas particularly gold precious metals is something we have been advising for the past ten years we're optimistic on that and then asian emerging market economies look a lot better than the rest own countries. but we want to know what you think about the current market turmoil head to argue dot com and vote in our latest poll they were asking if the emerging economies can profit from the trouble in the west so

far most of you are saying the world's already to globalize for them to come out the winner here but a lot of those who got in touch with us believe emerging economies can and should capitalize on the situation and take the reins others are saying they will only profit if they are smart enough and found acts fast enough i should say tell us how you see it all playing out had to argy dot com and cast your vote. north and south korea have exchanged fire in the disputed region in the yellow sea that's after the south replied with heavy weaponry and as an artillery shell from its neighbor fell into waters near their maritime dividing line relations between the two countries are strained since last november's deadly exchange killed four people on a south korean island both sides blamed each other for opening fire first but going yang saying the attack was a response to seoul's because the military exercises in the area dr wright from the university of vienna says despite this has situation on the peninsula hopes are

high both sides will eventually reach a peace deal. it's a little bit surprising in the short term because there were hopeful signs of talks in indonesia between north and south korea. your little bit surprised to this is happening now and go to north korea because the mess the situation is complicated and they might have to show some force to do population eventually we all think it was going to be a peace agreement because the current situation is obviously not sustainable the question is when and under which conditions right now in north korea are struggling to have a succession problem the mess that you call me that is really also worsened by the recent flooding and next year to have a big event coming up we need to show some success to the people so far it's not even clear we're going to join you. because he has not yet officially been an aunt's their successor even if it is successor however it's still not clear what type of successor he will be will be a third grade leader or will he be more like

a head of a collective like what we see in china and all those questions are not only aust by us in the worst but also by people in north korea it creates a lot of uncertainty and insecurity. if you miss any stories we're covering on there you can always go along to watch the news when you want twenty four hours a day here's a look at what's lined up for you right now at our team dot com a polygamist mormon preacher gets life bars in the state of texas it took the jury just forty minutes to find the man guilty of sexual assault against minors also online. join the ancient traditions of merrymaking learn how russia's tar people celebrate a farmer's festival transformed into a day of fun for friends and family more details that are to me dot com. some other international news making headlines syrian tanks and armored vehicles

to brook try to work to get out he would look an idiot at the end of all this the underlying issue is with libya there have been no deaths on our side just why the valley coptic christian god. we lose time people if that happened we saw it being blown out of the sky don't even think about it so the issue is we haven't dropped any blows you know we've dropped tens of millions of problems we have a goal but not one single one of a people has as died with their opponents the game of the p.r. game. known as that full interview here on r.t. in just over an hour's time and in a few minutes peter the veil and his cross toss trost talk i should say gas debate how the u.s. financial troubles resonate around the world that's after the business update with

alice temperley. ok thanks nice and yes this is the business here on our c we'll ask you straight to the markets our top story here in russia they turned sharply negative in the closings national after a short lived rally this morning to sell off started again what excel raises in the last hour of trade here with the dow jones index open down some four hundred points . call from urals the financial corp says the russian markets still have a go so i have a long way to go to fall. i believe that russia will probably continue to perform so i think will come soon yet. when you think in russia we don't hear much of both moss of redemption sealed among lonely for a show any funds we're talking about only occasional over the shallow boat floor so

this stage the money which has been leaving. those funds probe traders i think it really if things get worse then we'll probably see a lot of the leverage and margin calls and redemptions on the euro market the rule or the difference of growth as compared to what we've heard them to be there is no not much places where you can run there is gold you can see his book doing it's a very rare. well let's have a look at the figures themselves another day of heavy loss and as you've been saying the equity markets here in russia as you can see is a sea of red both the r.c.a.'s of the my stakes are shared today before the home office sent and have reached another month. let's cross the pond in the u.s. the dow jones is behaving like a yo yo actually has given up nearly all the gains that it made on cheese day and it's currently down always to four percent while the nasdaq is down nearly as

launch and looking at the european bourses they've given up their rarely gains as well following the downward trend the footsies down three percent on the downside is losing four and a half percent to match the well actually well over four and a half to start. looking and now it's you commodities as we've been saying or oil prices are up slightly talking about trend light sweet adding half a dollar this hour while brands trading at around one hundred four dollars per barrel. and him go his impressions metals for you there gaming this hour after seeing it mixed trading on cheese do. well apart from that you can see the central screen go over that just keeps on setting new records even albums full. then the traditional trade at a premium to gold and silver the now what is also getting it's not even two percent . but as we've been saying that the house in

a dramatic decline against the euro and u.s. dollar in recent days and prime minister putin has pledged to palm bagster money into the economy if needed however the central bank confirmed it would not seek to exchange rate call we'd all get a stab visible in excess of vulnerabilities linked to its dependence on oil. the scale of the. intimately 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. prices were to decline substantially below say one hundred dollars per barrel. russia would be under significant strain in terms of its mark where economy so i think it's some of these concerns or really related to russia's lingering dependency on

oil prices that are fueling that are driving the decline in the. looking at some corporate news now and there's been another twist in the legal battle between oil majors b.p. and its partners in t.n. k p p the russian shareholders claimed k.p. piece suffered damages worth three billion dollars it was prevented from forming an alliance with rosneft to explore the arctic will nor suits will be heard in russia during the awesome this comes just days after b.p. hit back its russian partners saying they too had breached the shareholder agreements by independently operating energy assets in russia and ukraine earlier this year an exploration deal between b.p. and they have collapsed due to objections from the russian side of teen k v p. complicated story indeed a caveats we've got time for i'll be back in the third hour's time with more

business in the meantime and he says about with the headlines. for the four we've gone to. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers.
