it's been ten a day should on their own lands. and very warm welcome to this is our scene live from moscow the british prime minister has vowed the rioters will pay for what they've done is he addressed parliament in the wake of clashes that engulfed become tree what started as a peaceful protest against a police shooting a man in north london quickly grew into scenes of bedlam either bennett's joins us now with the latest developments from london ivo what did the u.k. prime minister say about how the country's police force dealt with the care for the last five days. we started with some honest criticism really was he did praise all the officers bravery did say that simply they weren't enough police officers on the streets to begin with that's what led to the rioting increasing over the first
8:02 am
three nights and peaking on the third night and with widespread looting all across south london and also other parts of the u.k. on the fourth night and you also said once there were enough officers on the streets then they didn't have the right tactics saying that they were treating the looting as a public order issue rather than a criminal one and as a and honest admission from not only the prime minister but also from the acting deputy commissioner p.c. cabin and so on from that moving on from that the prime minister did outline measures with policing more tougher measures with the policing to prevent further violence. accord calls for more robust policing from the officers on the streets he said sixteen thousand police officers who are on the streets of london the last two nights cell stay there over the weekend and also he sanctioned the use of baton rounds by the office for the officers on the street and also made arrangements for water cannons to be available within twenty twenty four hours. notice and that was
8:03 am
something that was dismissed earlier in the week saying that the police didn't want to go down that route and also he did mention that the issue of the army being called in has been discussed with the cobra emergency response meeting in the last three mornings and one that has dismissed been dismissed for the moment. hasn't ruled out completely only with the acting commissioner of the metropolitan police force saying that only if he was the last officer left in the building would it then become a potential option. same as all of this at the same time as all this story some footage has emerged of police officers in manchester on you tube employing those more robust measures that have been called for by the prime minister. showing them forcibly removing alleged rights is from their bicycles using some very robust tactics and that's received a lot of criticism online and social media forums as well and the i.p.c.c.
8:04 am
the independent police watchdog has promised an investigation into so it's a tough talking really coming out from david cameron there but let's talk about what sparked that how did the fifth night of these riots go where there were any more clashes is. a fifth night was actually very quiet as some localized trouble in southeast london very localized one hundred years squaring up against police officers but no no looting no no ricing much quieter again with these sixteen thousand police officers patrolling the streets of london but as you say tough talking definitely from the prime minister in his address to m.p.'s in the commons just in the last few moments he did say that. mirrored the tough talking by police officers and councils around the country saying we have c.c.t.v. footage of your faces is aimed at the right is saying that we will prosecute you and you will be punished and. this is off the back of magistrates courts around the can't. working through the night to process the one thousand two hundred arrests
8:05 am
that we made across the last few nights and. we're talking from the politicians and the police officers saying that this is down to. criminality and and this is that some tough measures need to be used to deal with this from the street so the mood is a bit different it was very different really. the writing has been condemned there is some sympathy with the writer saying that obviously these people are disenfranchised disillusioned without the use centers taking away the else to do and this is a symptom of their dissatisfaction with the society and his colleague laura emmett from. 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 onto our streets prime minister david cameron talked tough on wednesday branding pockets of society sick and
8:06 am
pledging to reform them but seemingly unlike cameron people who live in the country's poorest communities saw they stand rest coming exacerbated by government policy i think that certain things that we had lacked simming used to be feeds the fact that. i think it gave a place for children to go and cuts and stuff like that don't give up that you need to stick children you are less fortunate to go and enjoy stuff in holidays so they resort to. like have it so that you know you can't blame you for being fed up in this feeling disenfranchised and feeling there's nothing for them because it doesn't seem to be anything for them these days there's no jobs for them there's nothing for them to do the things that we're for them to go but lying around on street corners the current sickness isn't easily cured it's links to years of liberal policies resulting in an underclass of young people who don't equate rights with responsibilities anti social behavior results in a coup. seen by many as
8:07 am
a badge of honor schooling in deprived areas is disrupted by bad behavior teachers no longer have recourse to punishment and can't count on support from parents the me they me calm me down. i don't know what they. don't say to control it's not on. where to period so i think we've got a lot of use nothing to do. schemes the same place to help them have something to do. with the sure it's true she forms 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 there used to be another bus too but now there's no money to pay starts so because of government cutbacks the team can only reach half 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
8:08 am
go on to through that have not achieved anything in life and respirations change and as a result of that often they delve into criminal or maybe drugs or just becoming a bowman society youth unemployment in hackney east london runs it over thirty percent parts of the bar are 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 in shops and everywhere you go and europeans who are highly educated. 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 of marginalised it's not a quick fix and as such it's also not an election when they want it to me. it's
8:09 am
wait that's the soul 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 flare again from all walks of life it's your and it's actually. now israel has approved the building of sixteen hundred extra settlements in east jerusalem peace talks between both sides have been stalled by a recent construction of jewish homes in the west bank where this comes just weeks ahead of an expected move by the palestinian. to have their state recognized at the u.n. security council let's get more on this now from our middle east correspondent paula slayer paula is really is also expected to approve the construction business of a further twenty seven hundred homes and that's on top of the sixty one hundred now already agreed why now how significant is the timing of this. well as you say the israeli government has announced that it approves the
8:10 am
construction of we're being told some two thousand two hundred twenty five new housing units in neighborhoods across east jerusalem and in the coming days they are expected to give their nod to a third of the two thousand seven hundred now these housing units are in areas in neighborhoods across the one nine hundred sixty seven arms to two lines they are areas of israel and mixed but that an extension was never recognized by the international community now certainly the timing is significant because this announcement comes as tens of thousands of israelis have taken to the streets calling for more affordable housing they're also criticizing the high costs of living in this country but the government denies that this announcement has any kind of political connotations in fact the interior ministry says it was merely a response to the growing housing crisis in this country but peace now movement has issued a statement and it really echoes what many activists in this country are saying and to quote from part of it is that the government is cynically you. using the housing
8:11 am
crisis in israel to promote the construction of settlements what we're likely to see through this move is certainly a strong reaction to what many are calling a provocation and for some time now israeli palestinian peace talks have been deadlocked it certainly is not going to improve those and it comes ahead of next month's planned palestinian announcement of statehood and a point with peace talks between palestinians and israel's deadlocked and settlement buildings being the bone of contention how is israel's decision being viewed by washington it's a longstanding mediator in this dispute. well earlier this week in a rare move the u.s. state department issued a statement in which it stated that it was deeply concerned around some nine hundred housing units or form part of this group that were being planned for a neighborhood known as the heart of home or essentially in this neighborhood illustrated to you would have a line of israeli homes that would break a palestinian state they would actually prevent palestinian east jerusalem from
8:12 am
being connected to bethlehem so it and many saying that that is an attempt to try and make a future palestinian state that much more improbable now last march when the u.s. vice president joe biden was here it was announced at that stage at the israeli government was planning to build one thousand six hundred housing units and those are part of the announcement today that created a lot of tension between the u.s. and the israeli government and certainly today what we've seen in light of this announcement is that kind of tension just been further exacerbated ok paula many thanks for that paul is there talking to us from tel aviv. now with this conspiracy spreading across the globe and fears of more fukushima style nuclear disaster the number of business on the rise but there's also the struggling global economy that is increasingly making people still call on basic necessities are going there met some americans who are ready for the work. a typical house in

because the u.s. is an empire and it's it's the reserve currency of the world so when they when this when this is the glasses it's going to be most. in the u.s. because an empire sits on a nation state within which it resides a good giant parasite so when that crumbles it's the it's the biggest prize for is the final piece to go by i think will be the first crewman inapt the system is architected so it is going to self-destruct ever since we went after bretton woods we're running deficits like the sixty's we had the guns and butter greatest lyndon johnson vietnam or half of the defacto gold standard in the fixture injury system of bread and words and that pushes you to the inevitable position that we're today which is boom bust boom bust and move to the point where the nation states take all the liability of the banking system and then effectively put themselves in a position where they are a grenade 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 affectively and your feudalism are. all serbs in northern kossovo dismantling roadblocks set up to

8:25 am
and i think we are already in a kind of more since about two weeks because equity markets lost enormously there's a brutal price action going on in markets right now and as you said i mean the volatility is very very high we see in the morning the markets going up in the afternoon they're going down again there is simply like a very large degree of unusually high degree of uncertainty in markets currently they are digesting the news from the from the fed from from tuesday night the economy the world economy is probably in a faster than expected slowdown so markets are really nervous ing and very nervous and they're panicking to a certain extent ok what would the the markets over the edge do you think. well to be most i think if you wouldn't have seen the e.c.b. making the decision late on sunday to actually intervene in europe markets this week then i think we would have been already at that age because for sure there would have been no reason to believe why italian and spanish bonds for example would have not continued their. way up so i think that was really really important
8:26 am
because the implications of that is obviously that we would see another turmoil in the european banking market and that would have been rooted so now i think we are more or less on a calm in a calmer way for it now in the bond market at least and i think equity markets they must come to a stop obviously that the bad news for french banks for example this is something that is really driving them right now so if that things continue then i think we're looking at even two of those a situation a next couple of days ago is about as you spend most of the last decade working for the european central bank now this institution is right at the heart of the current crisis do you think it's doing enough to restart lish confidence. it is i think it is absolutely at the outer limit right now what they can do because the real problem here in europe is basically that the e.c.b. has been pushed into that position for the second time already already last year the same happened in the doing what they can do but the problem is really that governments must also act and one thing for example that is still outstanding is an increase in the lending size of the year so as that the e.c.b.
8:27 am
can actually stop and exit from the markets and the skin taper over because the longer the c.b.s. going to stay in the markets the worst it is for its credibility where do you think is the bottom of the drop that we're seeing the past couple of days. well that's obviously very very hard to tell and it really in this kind of very unusual high degree of uncertainty really can tell we're at the bottom when the market's come up again obviously now the whole problem the focus shifted a little bit away and now to france and so discussions are about france where they might lose the aaa rating after the u.s. has been downgraded so all of that is the markets that are just in this kind of news and as long as there's no good news really coming i think we're probably still looking to some days ahead of very very very volatile and probably markets going down. very quickly what should be invested do. well right now obviously i think what we see is that markets generally go out of riskier assets. and they're trying to find some kind of safe have and. obviously i think financial financial titles
8:28 am
these days are very very volatile so anything that is any titles that are exposed to the global economy to the banking sector they should probably be avoided these days ok. markets thank you so much for your time and your all your answers. well that's all we have time for this hour join me in the around fifteen minutes time of more alice is next with the headlines.
