home i think the point has come where we have to call in forces what we're seeing now is. chaotic criminality across the whole of what we should do in my view is pull our troops back from these pointless wars in afghanistan and iraq. as money is spent on two wars in foreign lands parts of london birmingham liverpool and bristol i sensually ghettos 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 you take away money from the police in the way the money from the youth work. i mean i could never have imagined such consequences to be only you know. consequences tuesday night saw

sixteen thousand police officers on the streets of london a call. into 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 coal being a problem it's not just about cleaning up it's about community it's coming to target with the back then even at the current numbers if violent the widespread enough that believe me my navel to retain control the feeling of insecurity and need community it is likely to remain for some time to take hillary if police keep disappearing from the b. your average r.t. in london. will follow ups here on twitter for the voices of those what's happening in britain also news analysis of the u.k. crisis is available twenty four seventh's on our website r.t. dot com and in our you tube channel where you can find the timeline of the rides you're going to remind yourself about the last of four five days you can see what
1:05 pm
happened from the very first day and catch dramatic footage of britain on fire. before people have now been confirmed dead as rioting moves across the u.k. prime minister david cameron vowed to end the violence that some sparked after police shot a man there in tottenham north london this is because the situation is richard c. noise british writer of the activist joining us on the line from london tonight a similar very good evening the u.k. prime minister says the fight is on the way one hundred segues long road to employ
1:06 pm
these tougher measures. i think because for a start the political leadership was in a bit of disarray david cameron was on holiday the metropolitan police is in serious crisis over the whole scandal that's taken out a large chunk of its leadership and there's a lot of competition going on who's going to take over those roles and in addition to that at the metropolitan police has spent a generation trying to repair some of the damage done to relations with black communities in this country the last thing they need now is to fritter all of that work away one of the real problems they're facing here is that the unit that killed mark owen was a universal only to operation trident that was supposed to be a unit that was set up on the list of the black community it now seems to be one entering a serious crisis. but you know you say that the police yes have come in for serious criticism over the shooting of some saying this is what triggered the riots of
1:07 pm
course his family really want to distance themselves from that but also a lot of criticism of the way the police has reacted to what's happened here the information they've given out do you think they could have handled it better. i think it was really difficult for them to have handled it better partly because i think the truth is that the police significantly caused this situation as you said . and therefore don't necessarily have an easy solution to it and if you look at the way in which it spread it spread to the two on touched areas areas where i live in areas where i've used to live i have seen rioting on a scale that we haven't seen since the 1980's the police probably couldn't have anticipated that and therefore it's not really within their revenge it i think people solution is called for those who are calling for militaristic solutions policing solutions i think are missing the real source of the problem and richard
1:08 pm
as night falls across london across the rest of britain tonight police have been given a go ahead to use water cannon and plastic bullets if they need to and stop the riots will work is a way forward. you know because i think that what's going to happen is you're going to potentially intended it an inch or a few people lot of protests pitting and rights which are going to leave the terrain pretty well prepared for future riots because the resentment the anger the alien nation will still be there and by the way in this country supposedly we have policing by consent and that's i mean that's necessary as these riots have demonstrated you couldn't have enough police to just roof purely by force if you start introducing plastic bullets and water cannons which is something that britain only traditionally uses in the colonial front here's historically then you basically a road to consent upon which policing is based so i think it's the short side measure it's a panic measure it's one being done because of the lack of political leadership in
1:09 pm
this country it's the one in perpetual crisis one of the most shocking parts about some of the last couple of days as well i guess is seeing how young people appear to be taking part in some as young as nine or ten taking part in this illusory what does it tell us about the state so the current state of english society are saying glaciers well because notably there's been nothing so far at least happening like this in wales and scotland. true nothing in northern ireland while compromise look at the truth is that young people are getting the worst of this recession by twenty percent youth unemployment they're getting some of the worst of the cuts education maintenance allowance has been cut for them truth and peace gone up opportunities for them are being frittered away and they see it and they feel in our young kids may not be politically articulate that doesn't mean they're not aware of this general situation they're in and i have a feeling but they think that there's nothing in it for them and therefore very little to lose. so i think that's going to be one of the reasons at least why
1:10 pm
people so young have been involved ok you think your thoughts british writer and activist richard seymour on r.t. international tonight. will still become for you this hour back at all odds reports of new shelling from north korea as its southern neighbor returns fire after artillery rounds from the falls into waters close to both countries dividing line bring it today on that later standoff. we discover how activists organize their own vigilante campaign against sexual predators as paedophile offenders the skate justice here is russia. next though the u.s. and european markets have dropped dramatically losing most of tuesday's games a bit uncertainty over growth prospects and such financial turmoil damaging investors trust they're increasingly setting their sights elsewhere and it looks like asia could emerge as a popular safe haven many analysts believe that with the loss of america's aaa credit score and fears of a new recession china could become the world's strongest economy earlier now than

1:12 pm
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 there 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. new delhi for us who we spoke to martin he's associate director of financial advisory firm tight scroope he told us he believes the financial power want to be ready. in many regards trying has already ordered. to suppose that number one economy in the united states and that's when you're looking at the physical economy physical production but on the porch is empowered just that basis because they're written in years on the value that we
