cannon and plastic bullets a number of cities across the country suffered from a fourth night of violence when gangs clashed with police torched cars and ransacked shops and results islam it reports they are also those in the u.k. think the u.k. troops engaged in costly overseas campaigns right now and needed more at home. 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 go meanwhile london and other cities are taken over by thugs the police have not been anywhere where the police if the police were hit all 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 stars m.e.p. gerard batten says money's being spent on foreign wars that should be spent at home i think at the point where we have to call in the armed forces what we've seen now . criminality across the whole of long what we should do 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. the money for youth work. i mean i could never imagine such consequences to be only you know. consequences tuesday night saw sixteen thousand police officers on the streets of london accord. 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 it's just the beginning of goal being the problem it's not just about cleaning up it's about communities coming to terms with the baton 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 pain nor am it r.t. in london just a reminder for you can follow us on twitter for all the latest updates on what's

happening in britain also the news and analysis of the u.k. crisis available twenty four seven two on our web site out there on you tube channel where you can follow the timeline of the riots since the very first day you catch dramatic footage of fire. four people have now become for dead as the rioting moves across the u.k. prime minister david cameron voted to end the violence that was sparked after police shot a man dead in top of north london let's talk more about it and catch up with that

is a london based political analyst other things but with the police have now promised that they will come down hard on the rioters if this happens again after the soft policy seemed to fail so badly to control the troubles over the last few days do you think this new hard line will work though if it all flares up again. this is very disturbing coven if the if the police are going to use water cannon and rubber bullets well i'm very regretful to say that guns have been infesting our communities increasingly in the last two decades under the watch of the british authorities so if the police start shooting rubber bullets and we know what a lot of bullets did in northern ireland it kills people and if they start doing this in the streets of london in england i'm fearing that the young people will shoot back so i really would like the british authorities to rethink hard and fast their approach their approach needs to be actually addressing the root causes of this which is a forgotten generation and this is a generation born after eighty one after eighty five after the big rights that i

know has been previously unknown but one of the police supposed to do when people is saying they've been burned out of their flats saying their businesses re did they want protection from the police one of the police posed to do that i understand that but let's go to the root of the problem why did this start in the first place because the british police executed a black twenty nine year old working class person in tottenham the british police essentially lynched to him in public and then subsequent to that they beat down a sixteen year old black girl who was part of the protest against this with the family so if we see the actual the root causes the police are never there to protect our communities they're always there to protect our the property or all the elites so i don't think the police or the arms of communities are an answer and communities need to address the deepest social cultural and even spiritual reasons of why our young people acting in this way these are our children really did take responsibility exactly every cell of them as young as we witness and i guess that's

sort of what are the most horribly bad parts of it some of them just a way nine ten years old some of these perpetrators where do you start there and indeed are you surprised that there. i'm not surprised or this is a generation where self harm these two didn't cut themselves this is a mass phenomenon this is this is this is a generation that's been called hoodies child's. gangsta so that's the way they've been treated by the system and by people in the community so why are we surprised that they behave in the way that we've lived through a whole generation. how do you think the british prime minister has dealt with this situation lot of people have said it is his trade or his how could treat know when it's social nine eleven we can say i mean you know cameron and johnson and miliband will holidaying and the terrain while they're bombing libya in the south mediterranean as malcolm x. said you can understand what's happening in mississippi understands what's happening in congo we can understand what's happening in london and this we understand something in libya enough to understand common comes back after the

first day of writing from his nice little holiday and he calls these young people criminals and the defying the law and order this is the same person who is directly responsible for the massacring by nato of eighty five civilians that same night including thirty five children so let's get some perspective here who's the real criminal in this situation this could go to the police the way they've handled this to face as you mentioned just now serious criticism over the shooting of mark duggan this triggered the rights of those family of course as we know very quick to want to distance themselves from it. what impact will this have on the reputation of all of the british police the way they've handled this now especially the met. well the reputation is frankly in the for black and working class people because this is nothing new smiley culture it was a very famous regular artist was killed in his own home only a couple of months ago there was another death to increase cost of the in birmingham so actually that their reputation is absolutely just defunct amongst

these amongst the amongst these these communities but i think really again like i think i think the authorities have to think hard and fast now i'm seeing in my community in ealing which rights to place the other night armored police cars and robo corpse walking through prey community i mean if there's a way to enrage and to provoke a young people doing play devil's advocate here i'm not taking everything you say absolutely taking what you say but you know the police also have a duty to protect the people i've mentioned just now that equally not that affluent people who are having their shops raided out of their flat seven the cars overturned they want protection from the police the police have their hands tied as well rather because they have to be very careful what they do don't they well if we if we analyze what they did with tottenham and then subsequently to brixton because tottenham is the most neglected poor black community in london they let this happen they don't mind this happening in places like brixton and tottenham and other just neglected areas but when it's place like evening and oxford street that's when it

becomes a problem we have we just have to understand the nature of policing the nature of policing has never been there for the protection of our communities all right chad thanks for the program joining us tonight from london as you are. still to come this hour back at all odds reports of shelling from north korea as its southern neighbor with its fire. from the north all over the waters close to both countries dividing line it's all kicked off there will bring you the latest and we discover how actively sought denies the road vigilante campaign against sexual predators as paedophile offenders escape justice here in russia. meantime though the u.s. and european markets have dropped dramatically losing most of tuesday's gains amid uncertainty over growth prospects with such financial turmoil damaging investors trust are 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 than predicted previously the international monetary fund said beijing could force washington from its financial fraud by twenty six d. china we must remember still holds more u.s. treasury debt than any other foreign country and its voice loud criticism lately over america's handling of its debt crisis correspondents prius street has the details. 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 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 but it was brought to a mountain an accuser so should the road crew from. scroope he told us he believes the financial have already have. 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 there on the purchasing power adjusted basis because their renminbi is undervalued and they need to reflect that and looking at the economic side 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 the aaa rating stages in two thousand and sixteen so now re 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 the 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 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. 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 rest own countries. so tell us if you will what you think about the current market turmoil had to r.t. dot com that's where our vote can be seen today we're asking what you think if the emerging economies can profit from the trouble in the west this is what you've been telling us so. it seems that see the price go down a bit if you look at the blue that it's gone down from forty thirty nine thirty eight now of the last few hours believe the world's already to globalize them to cash in on the crisis many of you also expressed a different opinion saying emerging economies can and should turn the situation to their advantage still others of you think developing countries will only make the most of it if they are smart enough and fast enough thanks for telling us what you

think still time to change that dot com. north and south korea have exchanged fire in the disputed region in the yellow sea that's after the south replied with heavy weaponry as an artillery shell from its neighbor fell into waters near the maritime dividing line relations between the two countries have been strained since last november's deadly exchange killed four people in a south korean island both sides play each other for the opening of fire first with pyongyang saying the attack was a response to solve provocative military exercises in the area i spoke once of war campaign erickson wrote kidan from the us he says while both sides may be fueling the flames a peace deal is still the only option now. we see in this history over the past decade or for the past twenty or thirty years where peace seems to get a little bit closer and something happens to make people pull back i think you're dealing with a point in which the united states is planning major military operations with south

korea next month and generally these things that happen just around those military exercises here you have one side shot a few rounds off on their side of the border the other side shot a few rounds on their side and everyone blows it up as being the edge of war but you do have one of the highest militarized regions. in the world and we need to reduce that tension get to the bargaining table we have over twenty eight thousand troops still in south korea and the u.s. is involved with getting the south koreans to build up their military make purchases and such and so the u.s. has not taken a leadership role in peace we could really look at the relationship and understand that a peace treaty ending the korean war would make all the difference. we got more background on what's happening on the korean peninsula our web site r t dot com while you're there plenty of the stories as well of course of eye catching views for you too like these. an arms race in asia as china retreats to solve your board ship for its

sending ripples across the world that's on a shortly there after business after business has been there with a.o.l.'s those two that we were in there with the business and all the latest from moscow to. thanks very much kevin and indeed working with the business program here on r.t. let's go straight to the markets here in russia they turned sharply negative in the closing session after a short lived rally this morning the selloff started again and he excel or it's in the last hour of trade here when the dow jones index opened down some four hundred points nothing. or also says the russian markets have still got a way to fall. i believe that russia will probably continue to on the perform. so i think will come soon. when you're serving in russia we don't hear much about most

of redemption this year the monkey won't only rush any funds we're talking about only occasional over a show or old floor says this stage the money which has been leaving the country. has france probe traders i think it really feels got worse then we'll probably see a lot of do leveraging margin calls and redemptions on the euro market the rule or the difference of growth as compared to what we've heard into falls in the there is no not much places where you can wrong there is gold because you currencies but the alternatives are very rare. well let's have a look at the numbers there are another day of heavy losses to equity markets here in russia both the r.c.s. the mindsets have shared and before the harper said and have reached an unleavened . and over the pond in the u.s. the dow jones is behaving like a yo yo with given up nearly all the gains it made on tuesday it's currently down

over three percent the nasdaq also down around a two and a half percent. and european markets have given up their gains the fits in the last three percent of the dax dropped five percent. and that's it now coming modesty's as we've been saying all the oil prices are up slightly light sweet is adding around three dollars this our bread is trading at around one hundred six dollars a barrel. and looking now to precious metals they're also gaining often seen mick's traded on tuesday and gold just keeps on setting the record to keep it out from something that traditionally trades at premium into gold and silver is also gaining it's up four percent this hour. despite trading out a wreck many analysts say gold has potential to climb significantly higher school cars are from goldline international explains the reasoning. there's a lot of concern about sovereignty there's concern about the u.s.

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. well the russian ruble seen a dramatic decline against the euro and u.s. dollar in recent days prime minister putin's pledge to pound the extra money into the economy if needed however the central bank confirmed it would not seek to widen the group exchange rate corridor yes that is the baltic says the ripples from the bill achieved linked to his dependence on oil. the scale of the klein and the ruble is 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 that it will 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 or really related to russia's the lingering dependency on oil prices that are fueling that are driving the decline in the ruble well that's it for me but to stay with us kevin will be reading shortly with an update of the headlines.
