11:01 am
close in the black for the first time in seven sessions among an upswing in the u.s. and european markets warmed up with. a very warm welcome see this is r.t. live from moscow the british prime minister considers banning rioters from social networks used to organizing elements of the armrests david cameron was speaking to parliament in the wake of clashes that engulfed the country started as a peaceful protest against but he's shooting a man in london quickly grew into scenes of other bennett reports now from london. the closure of social networking sites on the cards just yet it's certainly tougher regulations for groups of people this is mentioned in parliament by the prime minister earlier today the cobra emergency response committee has been looking at
11:02 am
these tough regulations they've seen the social media has played a really important part in mobilizing these riots and they're looking at ways to control it and attention banning criminal groups from from using it and actually this is come from the man who only just a few months ago praised the use of social media in mobilizing the masses and members of the public in the riots we saw in the middle east also the group did discuss the potential use of the army if the violence case out of hand they haven't ruled that out so there is still a potential last resort. in the main road so i know before that happens he wants police to be tough water cannons on standby twenty four hours notice and the police can use battens as well now this policing has already been seen in some parts video has surfaced on you she was showing police in manchester a couple of nights ago. using this more robust tactic pulling off legislators from nearby schools wrestling to them to the ground this is because uproar in social
11:03 am
media with a lot of criticism coming in for these tactics and the independent police watchdog has already said it will be launching an investigation into these tactics because in many parts of the country manchester in london were very busy working through the night process one thousand two hundred arrests and among some of those charged already is an eleven year old boy 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 facilities for young people and disillusioned you 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 lower. and rebuild communities prime minister david cameron talks tough as he answers questions from parliament on how to reform sections of society he's branded sick but seemingly unlike cameron people who live in the country's poorest
11:04 am
communities still this on rest coming exacerbated by government policy i think that certain things that we had like swimming 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 opportunities for children who are less fortunate to go and interest stuff in holidays so they resort to using that happens that you know you can't blame the use of being fed up in this feeling disenfranchised and there's 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 think that with 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 court order seen by many as a badge of honor schooling in deprived areas is disrupted by bad behavior teachers
11:05 am
no longer have recourse to punishment and can't count on support from parents to out the you me they me calm me down pay me i don't know what that means but they need some faith to take control it's not on the pay. where the parents or their i save go a lot of nothing to do and the streams are so in place to help them have something to do again exploit jones are you sure it's a tragedy 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 that 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 half the youngsters they used to be failing school because they haven't met the criteria jump through the hoops of seven. and go on to feel that have not achieved anything in life and
11:06 am
respirations change and as a result often the criminal. drugs are just becoming a 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. shops in everywhere you go through 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 an election when they want this immediate situation down the console it'll be interesting to see what the government does to
11:07 am
fix the sickness in this society if the answer is nothing you shouldn't be surprised to see violence flared again from all walks of life you're an authority actually. well for more on what's happening in london let's talk to tony. of ideas in london part of being with us here now we'll get to the social problems in a bit first david cameron delivered a very strong message earlier didn't he concerning the rise to parliament today let's take a listen to. everyone watching these horrific actions will be will be struck by how they were organized by social media free flow of information can be used for good but it can also be used for so we are working with the police the intelligence services and industry to look at whether it would be right to stop people communicating via these websites or services when we know they are plotting violence disorder and criminality. say what's your reaction to that mess again and
11:08 am
what do you think that really means for freedom of speech in britain. well i think we have to consider what is being said very carefully because to respond to the situation that we have by undermining the civil liberties of everyone would be entirely inappropriate but more importantly avoids the question of the complete. institutional capitulation coward is a response to a very small number of rioters and lawbreakers in this situation so we saw the complete in potence of the police at the beginning of this whole affair and we've also seen a lack of response from the government. being out to draw a line under this situation so i think we have to put more pressure on the government the top police officers in the country about how they responded which actually acted as a complete invitation to riot to other small gangs of people but of course one of the problems facing the police in terms of how to react to what's been happening on the streets is the youth of some of the people that we've seen now rising and
11:09 am
causing problems we know that an eleven year old boy has been charged with loosing what do you make of the of the age of of the people who put out on the streets of london. well i think here we are actually pointing to a much bigger and deeper problem and this is where i think the riots themselves if you can call them riots it's really sort of sort of a large scale looting but still involving relatively small numbers of people as you say some of them very young but it's actually a very visible expression of a much bigger problem in british society which is a complete undermining of thorazine and if we don't have already then how can you expect young people to learn that they need to adopt certain standards to accept that others are going to challenge them and question their behavior or their ideas and argue with them and get them to be social. is into being mature adults so we've
11:10 am
had a long process of undermining our own forty in our school system and also undermining parents and this is this has been pushed very much by government and officialdom. should be no surprise in our society that young people think that they can wander around and you know not show respect for other people when we when we we've been through this process i think we actually need to look much deeper at this problem let's look a bit deeper now you mention parents and you talk about the lack of control who is to blame for what's been happening on the streets of london we've heard politicians describing the rise is this be mainly on educated job use lacking parental control so he has to pay for all of this is the government is that the parents here is it. well i think. first of all i think. pointing the finger of blame at parents isn't very helpful i think you have to put this in perspective that what's actually occurred on the streets is a very small number of people however what i am arguing the at the root of this
11:11 am
problem is a much more fundamental problem affects much larger sectors of society which is that politicians have constantly undermined parents by saying that they can't be trusted to bring up their children therefore they require parenting classes and intervention into the family and they've also on the undermine teachers by emphasizing the importance of student voice students now actually interview teachers alongside teachers you perspective teachers being interviewed by head teachers we're sending a message in our society that can be trusted there are those voices of authority and that young people's voice needs to be paid more attention to that message is a very dangerous message to send out because it's completely upset in the normal balance of things where are those are responsible for nurturing young people putting them under pressure chair. and room to achieve the best they possibly can
11:12 am
and basically where necessary giving them a hard time about where they. coming up to the mark and i think this is a much broader problem which in some respects the. instances over of riots and criminality are just one more obvious visible expression so i think the government needs to look much closer to home the policies that are of the previous administration and also the policies that the current government are adopting in relation to family and schooling ok tend to get in so directly from its use of ideas live from london many things thoughts from you. ok let's cross to israel now it's approved the building of sixteen hundred extra settlements in east jerusalem peace talks between both sides have been stalled by the recent construction of jewish homes on the west bank all this comes just weeks ahead of an expected move by the palestinian ministration to have their state recognized the u.n. security council artie's middle east correspondent well it's clear. the israeli
11:13 am
government has announced that it approves the construction of we've been 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 bin nod to a third of their 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 that 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 fears it was merely over spawn's to the growing housing crisis in this country but now movement has issued a statement and it really echoes what many active. in this country are saying and
11:14 am
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 stated that it was deeply concerned around some nine hundred housing units to 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 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 vice president joe biden was here it was announced at that stage at these really
11:15 am
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 where with political instability spreading across the globe and fears of. nuclear disasters the number of doomsday believers is on the rise but now it's also the struggling global economy that's increasingly make people stock up on basic necessities. that some americans who are ready for the worse. a typical house in a regular suburban town for your families 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 if
11:16 am
we're carrying this out on the street for some reason all hell broke out and it's you know and the world type situation he's persecuted a certified and our instructor and owner of two businesses stores food and supplies to help him survive no matter what disaster might hit breakdown a government is one thing a lot of people are preparing for now we're facing possible pay delays for so security. i don't believe we're going to need any of this kind of court and 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 are to spoke with the founder of the preppers network from inside his truck knows 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
11:17 am
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 continuously and on top of you you have a couple of wrong. if you would slip into a chemical proof if you don't situation want to. someone you know 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 keeps father who is. actually in the next room go over you a police officer for twenty five years he's now retired his main pastime is operating a ham radio for him communications will be key if disaster strikes the tsunami
11:18 am
and earthquake in japan a couple months ago i met a radio played a big part in providing emergency communications when everything else failed there's one scenario he fears more than others there was some 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 so i see it you're going up r.t. somerville new jersey. well the loss of america's aaa credit score has sparked panic sell off on global markets ratings the giants if they fall confirm france's highest status but investors remain unconvinced its finances are. generous and they
11:19 am
need a coffin is says it's not just the banks but whole countries which are now struggling to make ends meet but more public on rests on the cards. the downgrade of or i simply of the good of the united states whether it was warranted or not i think speaks volumes about the shift of risk from the balance sheet of banks the balance sheet of sovereign countries which are effectively the backstops for the welfare state so when that gets through a depression of course you're going to have mounting on rastan 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 are benefiting backstops for. for the banking system i think that you're going to see one versus especially united states because the u.s. 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 a nation state within which it resides like a giant parasite so when that crumbles it's the it's the biggest stars that is the final piece to go i think with the first crewman and that the system is architected
11:20 am
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 type of gold standard in the fixture injury system of bread and 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're on the grenade right 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 feudal smart. check out our website r.t. dot com for more news blogs. an analysis here's a taste of what's on the line right now we were banished nato says insurgents in afghanistan down with the elections helicopter. dead were killed in a special operation something to tell about it and now i. find out what's being
11:21 am
done to stop sexual predators when paedophile offenders escape justice in russia. shots have been fired inside the estonian defense ministry in thailand after a gunman burst into the headquarters and allegedly took two people stage with the suspect has now been confirmed dead although the circumstances are still unclear while there were no reports of all the casualties police sealed all that evacuated the building investigators are now looking into the incident. to check on some other international news making headlines this hour a blast is written in a parking lot near a commercial center in the lebanese capital beirut killing at least two people a company long into the some of the job was nearby when the explosion occurred but it was on a clear whether it was the target is the area has since been sealed all security forces the investigation continues well there's been no target of bomb attacks in

11:23 am
seven attacks that mainly aimed at security forces but on the rise killing of osama bin laden may. be coming up this hour the claims the reports today matt think of how america's weakening of calling me could drag other countries down with it when in the meantime use all the nation's business things which to me. well and welcome to business and see the russian markets sad closed in positive territory for the first time in seven trading sessions was anything but a smooth day at the opening the r.t.s. my six made some strong gains these were quickly pad back and accelerated into a sharp decline at which point the my six was five percent in the red but then wall street opened well and gave live to the seas on this side of the atlantic well as i discussed the day straight i'm joined by ro the nasty investment strategist at capital rather than thank you so much for being with us so how would you describe the sentiment on the russian markets keep going up and down it's crazy the moment i
11:24 am
think the markets you know they're really trading on fear right now as much as anything else everybody's watching everybody else and trying to work out what's going to happen next and actually that's very difficult for the volatility that we're seeing right now so it's not even panic it's fear it's fear no there's no it's not panic yet and that's that's actually part of the way that's part of the problem. the markets are still trying to gauge whether this is the first stage in what could be a multi-stage downturn or is this just is this just a correction a big nasty correction ok how do you see it tomorrow panning out so i guess is impossible in these conditions i you tell me what's going to happen in the u.s. and whether a bank in europe is going to be in trouble or not i mean that's really what this really what russia and every other market is currently trading on it's a very difficult judgment tonight but it doesn't really call relate that much anymore the past week the u.s. has seen two positive sessions at least right for russia this is the first one the first positive close that true but i mean it's really the trend in markets in
11:25 am
general over the last over the last two weeks or so it's really been the big downturn i mean people have been selling russia as much because it's been outperforming since the beginning of the year and people are selling assets that still have still have not demonstrated this kind of downturn in the scene in other markets they what needs to happen for everyone to understand ok. the fear is over we can buy now and come back into the market this is a good blog i wish you could do that for us is well i don't think there's any sort of one one thing that people are looking for i would guess that i would guess right now the world is hoping to see some sort of coordinated effort from the monetary authorities in both europe and the us to try and address these kinds of these kinds of issues you know perhaps if there's one thing that could sort of draw a line under everything is the european union finally admitting that there needs to be some kind of fiscal union within europe so even if a president barack obama comes out and says we're going to cut the deficit of the united states and comply with all requirements of standard and poor's and moody's
11:26 am
and fitch and we'll have a credit rating back to aaa this one how this is no really about the credit rating that was the catalyst perhaps but a credit rating credit rating agencies don't lead markets they never have they react to markets including the. downgrade from from s. and p. and you know barack obama could come out and say something like that then he would be in a much stronger position than the bad news right now what is the investor do in these conditions if you are the say a trader with not that much experience and you do not know daily basis what is going to happen but i can tell you what we're doing and i think it's what a lot of sensible funds should be doing and training should be doing is just getting out of the way would you don't try and do is step into that you don't try and catch the proverbial folding knife that's about the way that you can get blood out of your hands so i think it's sensible at the moment to just to stand out of the way and wait for things to calm down a little bit right now there's a lot of value in the russian market so there's going to be a time when when you can make a very good return in russia as a result of this system to another question is russia's been promoting the
11:27 am
privatization program for such a long time so be selling a lot of state assets if it does not we don't see the levels that we saw two weeks ago on the markets are they going to so these kind of low prices the twenty percent discount i have to say that it's going to be in the current environment i would say it's virtually impossible to. so let me sell any assets to anybody whether it's the russian government or anybody else so if it continues like this then i think the privatization will be parsed by and i really don't expect it to continue at this it's a really crazy period right now ok row the national chief investment strategist over and i got to thank you so much for being with us. and i we have a few seconds take a look at the markets very briefly the mind of the r.t.s. and the my six closed actually in positive territory supposed to be green arrows for the ideas on the my six point four seven percent for the r.t.s. point. five to four to my six if we look at the main movers then gazprom was now standing before four point six percent at the close north nickel to the minus some
