determined to use all means possible against rioters including water cannon and plastic bullets a number of cities across the country suffering from a forced night of violence last night were going to clash with police torched cars and run shops and that is the remote reports no there are of those who think 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 hitting all that would have been i think any surprise i think south little bit better i don't think they're doing everything they can and 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 i think that the point has come where we have to call in the armed forces what we're seeing now is. 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 sent should we 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 when you take away the money from the police in. the money for the use. of the art never have imagined such consequences to be only you know but you will get consequences tuesday night so 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 the problem it's not just about cleaning up it's about communities coming to terms with the back then 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 be your at r t london i just want to follow up on twitter for the latest on what's

happening in britain also news analysis of the current crisis is available twenty four seven on our website r t dot com i know you tube channel where you can find the timeline of the riots since the very first day and also coach those dramatic pictures we go re dramatic footage of britain on fire. the. with the story british police are on high alert ready to fight back with force in the case wright said for

a fifth day i spoke to author journalist afshin rattansi earlier he told me he believes u.k. politicians have no understanding of the true problems in society or what really sparked the rest this is a society completely in crisis and the motivations are so numerous but i suppose the central one of course is inequality and an entire civic life so we can situations that are completely out of touch whether it be the media replete force or politicians themselves i think we all would realise in this country that david cameron who went through one of the most expensive schools in the country has no knowledge of the huge and insecurities and inequalities that raged right across this country idea of david cameron cutting the police force massive thirty cuts the idea of shrinking the economy to grow it as a sort of mass religion together with a mass consumerist religion here wanting to buy more and more expensive goods. the

whole idea of this government having any understanding of trying to curb rioting in britain is a farce but as to what happens next and i think that perhaps the most interesting question in the eleven year old boy has appeared in the courts. this will be the way to understand what is going on the phrase mindless the phrase sheer criminality shows that you have already have no idea how to stop what looks like a runaway train right now. it was all through during this session of times you speaking to me a bit earlier or still ahead on the program for you tonight but that old reports shelling from north korea is it so the neighbor returns fire off for a military run from the north falls in the waters close to both countries dividing line appears to be fair again will bring up to date. we discover. the road vigilante campaign against sexual predators is paedophile a friend there's a skate justice here in russia. next though the u.s. and european markets have dropped dramatically losing most of tuesday's games amid

uncertainty over growth prospects with such financial turmoil damaging investors trust that increasingly said in these sites 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 throat by twenty sixteen but china of course holds more u.s. treasury debt and the of the foreign country in its voice love criticism lately two of america's handling of this debt crisis roughing it all up for asia correspondent . 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 and actually 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 us. 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 and for more of the international community to get on board and move away from the dollar as the reserve currency to some sort of basket currency that could include a lot of the asian powerhouses like japan and china. well earlier we spoke to martin had a k.'s who director of financial advisory group he told us he believes the

financial power shift may have already started to happen. in many regards china has already overtaken clearly. the suppose of number one economy in the united states and that's when you're looking at the physical economy physical production they're on the purchasing power adjusted basis because their renminbi is undervalued and they need to reflect that when looking at economic sizes 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 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 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 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 that they are the problem so you the 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 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 best own countries. always glad to know what you think about the stories we cover like this one tell us what you think about the current market turmoil on our web site r.t. dot com the question in fact asking all day today is do you think the emerging economies can profit from the trouble in the west let's take a look at what you've been telling us he's been largely split in thirds and it kind of is now really not too far off so far most just still believe in the world's already to globalize for them to cash in on the crisis many of you also expressed a different opinion saying a burgeoning economies can and should turn the situation to their own advantage in

another proportion of their thinking developing countries will only make the most of it if this smart enough for me out quick enough i get in now let's see what you think r t dot com is the place to cast your vote. the sexual abuse case involving a seven year old girl has shaken a small russian town of the country's far east outrage was triggered after judges allowed the suspected peter far to walk free or push cova reports next on how mothers and activists are taking matters into their own hands as hundreds of child abusers escape justice in russia every year. and mother in grief. i 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 sick with fear for my daughter which are on the website. it was hard for that area to admit she trusted someone who harmed her daughter she brought the man into the

house is a common law husband to live side by side with him for more than now news or so seconds the with my daughter told me he threw a stray cat on the roof and said he'd do the same to her if she ever confided in me about the things she was doing to her. so. when natalie have finally managed to get things to the court let yuri acquitted the man who she says is now off to her family hungry for a bench experience is just one example of many in a recent controversial case a man suspected of raping a seven year old girl was released without charge. yes i pulled off her underwear and she started crying i squeezed her neck and pressed her into the ground it only took a couple of minutes then i told her to go home and tell no one i had. only after an enraged crowd nearly lynched the men did police launch a fully fledged investigation into the case and record that confession authorities

also disciplined the original investigating officer will summarize this for the wars that happened here is the mother was treated like a football she was kicked around from office to office a tragedy had happened to her shouldn't know what to do but no one wanted to even talk to her let alone accept her statement. russian authorities have a nominee closed a fight against the sexual abuse of minors but results seem to have been meager with estimates claiming thousands still fall victim in attempt to put things right activists have started taking matters into their own hands. i'm underage but that's fine i like small boys and would love to kiss you and hug you and do many other things to you this video has been put together by a group of aunties as they track people they believe are paedophiles illegal online pretending to be an underage boy or girl they set up meetings with people who don't need to preferring minors the idea is to film their faeces and expose them on the

web to go but i wish they were simply a group of people who decided to fight this evil in their own way because our families live in this city our children walk in these parks and we don't want them ever to meet those perverts it was a local which they try to act within the law but often operate and it's edge volunteers tracking paedophiles online say most people will sign off when they learn the person or chatting to is under-age but they also say the out of one hundred contacts one is said to be looking for easy prey can be the maximum sentence for child sex offenses is twenty years in prison an amendment to the law is meant to introduce tougher penalties including life in prison and conditional chemical castration but until the changes are implemented in proven to be effective the activists say they'll continue with their teaching ninety can be dairy pushed over arching. already strained relations between north and south korea came under

increased pressure wednesday the north fired three shells into the waters near its maritime border prompting sold to return fire the line between the two states was drawing nine hundred fifty fifty three but remains a bone of contention to this day you may recall last november a north korean artillery attack killed four people in south korea's young p.r. island let's get more insight of the situation and speak to john feffer is from the foreign policy of these deals of foreign policy in focus in our washington studio a survey that was a fair for a very good a very good see here today outside this looks a bit schizo fenech just a month ago the two countries agreed to return to the negotiating table now we have this we've seen this kind of thing before do you think the peace talks will resume after this latest set to. well there was some hesitation about whether the peace talks would continue even after the discussions and before this outbreak there's been a lot of tension between north and south korea there's been

a lot of tension between north korea and many of its neighbors including of course across the ocean the united states and there haven't been discussions with north korea for some time now so the prospects for discussions unfortunately at this point are rather dim. the north koreans and those recently been in washington this new for talks on pyongyang's nuclear program could this instant send back any small progress that's been made in denuclearizing the korean peninsula. well there have been very hesitant discussions between the united states and north korea very preliminary the united states the obama administration has been very clear that this is only very preliminary they don't want to suggest that the united states is about to sit down anytime soon until north korea jumps through several more hoops and north korea has indicated that is not enthusiastic about jumping through those hoops any time soon those hoops would include for instance an apology to south

korea for the shelling of young people in the island it would include perhaps some indication that north korea serious about denuclearization at the moment north korea hasn't given any of those indications and the united states to well it's not eager to as they say sell the same horse twice this is something the obama administration is very reluctant to give any indication that it's going to do because of course it's worried that it will be attacked by conservatives both in congress and elsewhere to sort of the prodigal side of this what are the repercussions of these clashes if they do flare up even worse in the wider region. well the upper cautions of course are very serious both north and south korea have tremendous amount of artillery facing one another huge number of soldiers facing one another north korea has nuclear program but it's unlikely that it actually has an effective nuclear weapon nevertheless if

a conflict were to escalate it would have serious repr cautions with so many people living close to the demilitarized zone nearly. twenty percent of south korean population clustered up in seoul so the referee caution should be very serious however we have to remember that there have been clashes in this area for a long time been clashes around this rich crab fishing area there been clashes because of naval facilities that both sides have near the northern limit line clashes because of disagreements over where the line goes as you said but was this gift of any kind to one of the schizophrenia approach is there a real will their own both sides to try and sort out some long lasting peace because we've heard the rhetoric we've seen the to ing and fro ing for many many years that this situation doesn't really seem to progress does it does it need a regime change to bring his son in isn't he shortly that that's what the reports

say is that we will see the change maybe. perhaps you know two thousand and twelve is a big year south korean elections will take place it's also the year that's the hundredth anniversary of kim il sung the founder of north korea it's your birthday so people expect the two thousand and twelve we might see some changes if we saw a new administration in south korea yes we could possibly see some changes because the government has been pretty hard line toward north korea after ten years of engagement policies by its predecessor kim jong il is a big question mark we have no idea what people can jong il side would do if he became leader of north korea however we have seen some minor changes in north korea itself in terms of economic changes the growth of the markets will rise or grow your words was the north korea so there is a possibility that twenty twelve will see some dramatic change. for joining us on

the line tonight from washington thank you. is taking some other international news headlines in brief fifty people have reportedly been killed off the syrian security forces opened fire on residents in the flashpoint city of holmes meanwhile tanks an armored vehicle storm several northwestern times near the border with turkey earlier president assad met with the turkish foreign minister who pressed him to end the crackdown on anti-government protesters at least fifteen hundred people have reportedly been killed since the uprising started in march. at least twenty militants have been killed by a u.s. drone strike in northwestern pakistan the groups believed to be bought a number of attacks against american troops in afghanistan islam about repeatedly called for the u.s. to stop the strike saying that a violation of the country's sovereignty activists claim up to two thousand five hundred pakistani civilians have been killed in drone attacks since two thousand and four. at least three hundred people have been detained in the chilean capital sunday i'll go after tens of thousands of students rally demanding changes to the

education system mass protest has burned cars and threw rocks. and furniture security forces who fired tear gas and water cannon in response shouldn't have been demonstrating for weeks no so the current systems underfunded and unequal president pinera has promised an extra financing but the protesters say that's not enough. it's one twenty one am moscow time next as more civilians reportedly die nato air strikes in libya serious questions are being asked over the legalities of the alliance's intervention so artie's big stew the former editor of the british newspaper the sun next who says that libya was a good p.r. stunt for the british government shows more of his insights to right here.

today i'm talking to kelvin mackenzie former editor of the sun newspaper columnist he's spoken out against the military intervention in libya saying that libya is not worth an ounce of british blood killed mackenzie that's a very strong position to take i mean the government reckons the airstrikes prevented a massacre in benghazi so he that's worth a few british bombs and tsotsi well first of all we don't know whether there was going to be a massacre of big goals this was the p.r. of this was the government's push this world's cameron's personal space. in the

end of the day though this is libyans fighting libyans and who we to say who should be running their country after all when i last looked i didn't notice any of the libyans into fear when the cavaliers in the roundheads took place in evolution or the far as i could see there was nobody from tripoli wondering where in the french revolution this is a revolution quite normal but libyan rebels did off off to intervene they also may say to intervene do we not that full have a duty to go in and help the mouse no we don't want you to do we owe to a saw aid in a revolution who is trying to grab power to decide what the outcome of that war is going to be i say we have no duty while we are out there wandering around the desert there was a justification it was last debate there is no justification i prefer the russian position i prefer the chinese position i prefer the german position all of which is

the siamese we wish you well away not firing any guns away not sending in any planes what now that means you with a nation that we put out and need to be in could essentially be a bloody civil war it is a bloody civil war that's what happens in civil wars there isn't the point the reason that you have the wood war involved in civil war is it's not called civil negotiation it is a fight and in the end i expect the rebels they will win but they don't need to win risking our blood and our money and what happens to the politicians is that they look around themselves to look at this their ratings in the polls and they sorry john i was i'm not doing very well here the people who vote for me think i'm an idiot they're going to charge me out of ten they want to wander around north africa wander around the middle east why do we go into saudi arabia where they've banned march is the king as announce there will be severe. repercussion for demonstrations

and in the east they started firing everybody why don't we go into the am in why don't we go in everywhere and yet we have still going into libya which by your logic also has nothing to do with us is because we could have been open about gadhafi you know what it is we're warry a nation trying to relive the old days of the empire cameron keep on shouting out where of all the pink bits gone you know strolling around the middle east you know without a site and without an exit plan we know how to go into these places we have no idea how to get out people say that the government various governments learn nothing from iraq and afghanistan but do you think what in fact what you learned was how to sell another military intervention no absolutely the issue is quite clear. we didn't want iraq it was lumbered on us by a vainglorious prime minister. cameron is now wandering around in the desert of to brook trying to work to get out he would look in the audio to the end of all this

but the but the underlying issue is with libya. there have been no deaths on our side just why if crashed and god forbid we lose ten people all by the way they use those heat seeking missiles which you can basically just walk in and according to today's papers. if that happened which i've been blowing out of the sky i don't even think about it so the issue is we haven't dropped any blood yeah we've dropped tens of millions of pounds which we have a goal but not one single one of the people who has died where that happens the game and the p.r. game will change politically what does someone like david cameron gain from waging a war in africa a military of what cameron saw what was in it for him or for a country he's a pro for he is unfortunately a professional bleeding. and so he is one of those guys who rush around endlessly

he's a total political animal by the way rush around endlessly saying something must be done. something must be done this like when used to send off a really stinking is. on the night before to your boss. don't send a mile go to bed wake up in the morning reread it and decide whether it was a good idea or not cameron hasn't got that ability basically i think he's going mad mad very early he's only been in power a year is he going to be as old as blair blair was so if you follow at the end of it. my suspicion is that the pressure is just driven in kelvin mackenzie thank you very much.
