9:02 am
option cobra the country's cobra emergency response committee has discussed that option and whilst he said it's an undesirable one of the moment it is still a potential last resort if future violence calls for it in the meantime though he's called for more robust policing tougher tactics because these criticised the police . in the beginning of the riots saying that there were too few of them with basically going to soft on the rioters so there's sixteen thousand police officers on the streets of london over the weekend sanctioned the use of baton rounds also water cannons will be available at twenty four hour notice if they're needed and this option the army is still a last resort now this tough talking has already been matched by tough policing in some areas and a clip has emerged on you tube of police in manchester a couple of nights ago wrestling an alleged shooter off his bicycle to the ground and that has not been received warmly at all on social media sites. a lot of
9:03 am
criticism about that and the i.p.c.c. the independent police watchdog has already said it will launch an investigation into that and whether the police use these tactics in a necessary way and either how did the fifth night go nor will this where there any more clashes of significance. the streets are actually pretty quiet all over the country largely thanks to a downpour of rain across the country that was dampened the looters. the streets are quiet the courts are actually across that in many parts of the country manchester burning in london a very busy working through the night to process the one thousand two hundred arrests and among some of those charged already is an eleven year old boy. for stealing. the course already in action as well out. on the streets so the mood there is still anger anger by residents and anger at the government for ignoring what they say is the real problem here which is unemployment not enough funds going

into the cities for young people and disillusioned youth. we will not put up with this in our country we will not allow a culture of fear to exist on our streets and we will do whatever it takes to restore law and order and rebuild our communities prime minister david cameron talks tough as he answers questions from parliament on how to reform sections of society he's branded thick 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 feed stuff that. i think it gave a place for children to go and cuts and stuff like that don't give opportunities for children you are less fortunate to go and enjoy stuff in holidays so they resort to. that happens that you know you can't blame you for being fed up in this

feeling disenfranchised and feeling is nothing for them because it doesn't seem to be anything for these days there's no jobs for them there's nothing for them to take the things that with them to go flying around history colas 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 court order seen by many as 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 pay me i don't know what they need they need. to take control now on. where to pitch a save go a lot for you still nothing to do and screams the same place to help them have
9:06 am
something to do again x. post counts are you sure it's true just found 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. didn't go on to thought it had not achieved anything in life and respirations change and as a result of that often they are criminal or maybe a drugs or just becoming a bowman society youth unemployment in hackney east london runs at over thirty percent parts of the power of 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
9:07 am
benefits than it is to go out and work for a living there are jobs there if they wanted to do them most jobs now are filled by pubs in shops in everywhere you go they're filled 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 they don't really want to work the problem that marginalized it's not a quick fix and as such it's also not the exit with. its immediate situation does it get sold it will 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 again from all walks of life you're and it's actually done. when i gess in the david cameron called the rioting appear and simple criminality. is the core of the problem is the last generation of. really would like the british
9:08 am
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 themselves this is a mass phenomenon this is this is this is a generation that's been called hoodies child's. gangster. 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 for a whole generation it's a social nine eleven we can say i mean you know cameron and miliband were holidaying in the terrain while they're bombing libya on the south mediterranean a common comes back after the first day of writing from his nice little holiday and he calls these young people criminals defying law and order this is the same person who was 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. now israel has approved the building of
9:09 am
sixteen hundred extra settlements in east jerusalem peace talks between both sides have been stalled by the recent construction of jewish homes in the west bank with this comes just weeks ahead of the expected move by the palestinian the ministration to have their state recognized at the u.n. security council on middle east correspondent reports. the israeli government has announced that it approves the construction of we've been told some two thousand two hundred and 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 armistice 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
9:10 am
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 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 it says that the government is cynically using the housing 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 quite 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 early this week in a rare move the state department issued a statement in which it said 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
9:11 am
illustrated would have a line of israeli homes that would break a palestinian state that would actually prevent palestinian east jerusalem from 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 erased by president joe biden was here it was announced at that stage at these really 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 being further exacerbated. with political stability spreading across the globe and fears of more fukushima style nuclear disasters the number of d.m.z. believe is on the rise but now it's also the struggling global economy that's increasingly making people stock up on basic necessities alice is telling them that some americans who are ready for the. typical house in

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 this is the glasses it's going to be most felt in the u.s. because an empire sits on a 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 by i think the first proven inapt system is architected 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 of gold standard in the fixture injury system of reading words and that pushes you to the inevitable position where the day 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 the grenade now and the nation state is the the vessel that within which humanity has been able to sit guard certain human rights and if that goes it's effectively a new a futile or smart. european markets have surrendered their early again this fears
