it's one pm in moscow this is r t coming to you live on the news now with our top story this hour and the british prime minister is blaming criminal aspirations for the nights of riots in the u.k. but locals from the violent struck communities say the government's budget policy is forcing you to crime and does tougher austerity measures and spending cuts take bite further waves of juvenile delinquency could be approaching as more emmett reports from london. what ever resources the police need they will get whatever tactics the police feel they need to employ they will have legal backing to do so what we will do whatever is necessary to restore law and order streets prime minister david cameron talked tough on wednesday branding pockets of society sick and pledging to reform them but seemingly unlike cameron people who live in the country's poorest communities still based on rest coming exacerbated by government policy i think that certain things that we had like swimming used to be feeds the

me they me calm me down. i don't know what they mean but they need. to take control but it's not on. where tippett so i think we've got a lot of use nothing to do. schemes that same place to help them have something to do. exploit. the shore so should you funds one of those schemes being caught is this bus which goes round the housing estates in hackney providing much needed resources and encouragement to young people they used to be another bus to but now there's no money to pay starts so because of government cutbacks the team can only reach hof the youngsters they used to deem to be failing in school because they haven't met the criteria of jump through the hoops of seven seas and go on to thought it did not achieve anything in life and respirations change and as a result often the criminal or maybe drugs or just becoming

a bowman society youth unemployment in hackney east london runs at over thirty percent parts of the fairly affluent so it's reasonable to assume that figure rises substantially when it comes to these council estates it's become a culture where in some cases it's more profitable to stay at home and claim benefits than it is to go out and work for a living there are jobs there if i wanted to do them most jobs now. in pubs and shops and everywhere you go by eastern europeans who are highly educated who actually speak the language and they're getting the jobs and our own people are not getting them very often because they're not interested in education i don't really want to work the problem that marginalised it's not a quick fix and as such it's also not an election when they want this immediate situation down the console it'll be interesting to see what the government does to fix the sickness in this society if the answer is nothing you shouldn't be surprised to see violence flared again when you. from all walks of life you're at
5:05 am
it see. an amateur videos emerged on you tube showing police venting steam on alleged rioters in manchester a group of young people were biking along the street when as you can see here when officers ram them down slamming one suspect on the ground and beating him with batons the video is said to have been taken two days ago at the peak of the violence in the country but these have promised an investigation officers have been authorized to use water cannon and non-lethal bullets to disperse further riots but local political analysts who crunch and then says that's a bad idea for the force which he claims has never been worried about protecting communities. 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 rubber bullets did in northern ireland it kills people and if they start doing this in the streets of london in england i'm fearing
5:06 am
that the young people will shoot back so i really would like the british authorities to rethink haud enforced approach their approach needs to be actually addressing the root causes of this which is a forgotten generation of the british police executed a black twenty nine year old working class person in tottenham the british police essentially lynched him in public and then subsequent to that they beat down a sixteen year old black go who was part of the protest against this with the family the police are never there to protect the communities they are always there to protect the property all the elites we just have to understand the nature of policing the nature of policing has never been there for the protection of our communities. more stories ahead for you this hour including firing in anger we report on the latest developments of the korean crisis after a reported exchange of artillery rounds between the two sides. now there's always someone. who seems to think the end is not but recently the

number of such individuals publicly perceived as paranoid is on the rise the likes of the fukushima nuclear disaster in japan and the slumping global economy are among the reasons to blame and as artie's anastasio churkin to report some americans are already prepared for the worst. it's a typical house in a regular suburban town but here a family's preparing for the end of the world. a german mouser and p. thirty eight from world war two a twelve gauge shotgun. a forty caliber pistol and an ar fifteen weapons and ammunition are key for carrying this out on the street for some reason and all hell broke out and it's you know and the world type situation he's person a certified and or rain structure and owner of two businesses stores food and supplies to help him survive no matter what disaster might hit breakdown of government is one thing
5:08 am
a lot of people are preparing for now we're facing possible pay delays for a source of purity. i don't believe we're going to need any of this kind of quitting for that but you're going to have a lot of americans that are kind of the thirty seven year old is among thousands of american preppers who would rather be ready than sorry spoke with the founder of the preppers network from inside his truck you know it's almost more economic. people every day lose their jobs. have to rely on. gas masks bullet proof vests canned food tents and helmets filled basements like this one a proper survival bag is not a typical first aid kit it includes things like a parachute cord of body heat retaining space blanket a survival knife a meal ready to eat and bagged emergency drinking water according to proper is one must also be ready for chemical catastrophes or a large scale terrorist attack contaminate plan and on top of you you have
5:09 am
a couple who love the. deal if you would slip into a chemical proof if you don't situation i want to go in the morning one hundred percent sure that nothing is going to get through to you know a variety of walkie talkies are ready for use if the communication network shuts down. for us on the other end of the line keith's father who is actually in the next room giving you a police officer for twenty five years he's now retired his mean past. time is operating at ham radio for him communications will be key if disaster strikes the tsunami and earthquake in japan a couple months ago i met a really played a big part in providing emergency communications when everything else failed and the big hurricane in haiti a couple years ago there's one scenario he fears more than others there was some
5:10 am
kind of a nuclear fallout radio wave propagation but probably for all practical purposes. around ten thousand dollars is the hefty price tag for these supplies but to preppers it's not just ten grand sitting in a basement. with uncertainty taking over the us they say those who seem paranoid today may end up being the smartest tomorrow and if they see it you're going up r.t. somerville new jersey. now with the loss of america's aaa credit score there are fears france could now fall the u.s. and become the latest country to be sucked into the deepening debt crisis financial journalist domestic themis says the dire economic situation in the u.s. has definitely got people worried and more bring about a vegetable on rust as seen seen in europe to the u.s. . the down river i simply have the good of the united states whether it was warranted or not i think speaks volumes about the shift of risk from the balance
5:11 am
sheet of banks the balance sheet of sovereign countries which are a focus of the backstops for the welfare state so when that gets through a depression of course you're going to have mounting on ras now and i think what i'm really because the system architecture is is such with the banking system and the way that the sovereign countries have been affected backstop for. for the banking system i think that you're going to see one versus especially united states because the us is an empire and it's it's the reserve currency of the world so when it when this when the system collapses it's going to be most felt in the u.s. because an empire sits on the nation state within which it resides and a giant parasite so when that crumbles it's the it's the biggest prize that is the final piece to go but i think it would be the first proven in that the system is like it taken so that it's going to self-destruct ever since we went off of bretton woods we were running deficits like the sixty's we had the guns and butter great society of lyndon johnson vietnam war and i got a spot of the fact the gold standard in the fixture injury system of bretton woods and that pushes you to the inevitable position the word today which is boom bust
5:12 am
and move to the point where the nation stays take all the liabilities the banking system and then effectively put themselves in a position where they sat on the grenade right now and the nation state is the the vessel that within which humanity has been able to see accord certain human rights and if that goes it's effectively a new a feudal smart. now they say every cloud has a silver lining but it's golden for those who heeded warnings about where the dollar would be heading while markets and investors react to the lowering of the u.s. credit rating and europe's debt crisis the price of gold has reached an all time high for the first time in history the precious metal has stopped past its record price of one thousand eight hundred dollars an ounce investors new gold as a safer bet amid rising worries about debt levels and we the weak u.s. dollar. you can watch our goldman business update to get the latest information on prices in under ten minutes time. ethnic
