see. on r t the u.k. is reeling from several lives of brutal chaos and violence on the streets as britain asks if the government will bend breaches in a social system blame for instigating the unrest. and social media could now be on the right the government wants to crack down on criminal groups operating online more from london coming up shortly. also israel steaming ahead with building settlements in the occupied territories just weeks before palestinian authorities are expected to ask united nations the recognition of the state. of the future of u.s. and european economies on a constant scrutiny look at whether the west could weather this raging storm. and

in business news direction at last russian markets managed to close out half a percent on thursday after six sessions of what the loss is more on that than twenty minutes on the subject. of this is r.t. international it's just after nine pm here in moscow six in the evening in london my name is kevin owen and our top story the british prime minister is considering banning rioters from social networks used in eyes elements of the unrest david cameron was speaking to parliament in the wake of clashes that engulfed the country started as a peaceful protest against police shooting a man in north london quickly growing things of bedlam either bennett reports from london i don't think the closure of social networking sites on the cards just yet but certainly tougher regulations for certain. people this is mentioned in

parliament by the prime minister earlier today the cobra emergency response committee has been looking at these to operate relations 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 sensually banning criminal groups from from using it and actually this is come from the man who only just a few months ago praise 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 gets out of hand they haven't ruled that out so that is still a potential last resort. in the meantime no before that happens he wants police water cannons on standby twenty four hours notice and the police can use patterns as well now this tough policing has already been seen in some parts video has surfaced on you see trained police in manchester a couple of nights ago. using this more robust tactic pulling off legislators from

nearby schools wrestling to into the ground this is because up in social media with a lot of criticism coming in for these tactics and the independent police force still has already said it will be launching an investigation into these tactics because in many parts of the country manchester perming london very busy working through the night process that one thousand two hundred arrests among some of those charged already an eleven year old boy on the streets so the mood there is still anger anger by just 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 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 talked tough as he says question. kampala bent on how to reform sections of society

he's branded sick 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 lacked swimming used to be feed stuff like 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 pools that have a. you know you can't blame you for being fed up in different feeling disenfranchised and feeling is nothing for them because it doesn't seem to be anything for these days there's no jobs for which nothing flew to the theatre with them today but lying around the 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 killed equate rights with responsibilities anti social behavior results

in a cool sort are 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 who are the you tell me pay me call me parent pay me i don't know what i mean. thousand feet to control cricket now on. with. i think he's got a lot of nothing to do and screams the same place to help him have something to do again exploit jones three stooges on one of those schemes being caught is this class 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 start to because of government cutbacks the team can only reach half the young. as they used to their dream to fail in school because they

had met the criteria of jump through the hoops of seven jesus is. not achieved anything in life and a restoration change and as a result often they don't get a criminal maybe drugs are just becoming a burden society youth unemployment in hackney east london runs it over thirty percent parts of the power 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. i wanted most jobs now are filled by income in pubs and shops in everywhere you go for why 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 of marginalised it's not a quick fix and as such it's also not been elected without it once it's immediate

it's weights and does a good soul it'll be interesting to see what the government does to fix the sickness in this society if the answer is nothing it shouldn't be surprised to see violence flare again in you from all walks of life you're and it's our duty actually ducted. social web sites like facebook and twitter under threat as david cameron votes to do whatever it takes to restore order in the u.k. for more let's talk a little out of this first night he's on the line from london now chris thanks for being with us so david cameron did a strong message to me concerning the rides to parliament today let's first of all this and to what he had to say. everyone watching these horrific actions will be struck will be struck by how they were organized by social media free flow of information can be used for good but it could also be used for ill 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 and services when we know they are plotting violence disorder and criminality so what you think about

that good or bad well obviously there's been a lot of violence and alyson and looting going on recently and we need to crack down on crime but really for that crackdown to be effective it has to start at the top it has to start with the casino pancoast for example who set fire not only to this country's economy but to the global economy the very beginning of this year the bank has asked david cameron whether they could help themselves to seven billion pounds worth of bonuses and of course cameron said yes help yourself we're seeing now that in order to appraise those bonuses this government is closing down through swimming pools and shutting youth centers and it's vandalizing the economy we've got a lot of looting going on we need to crack down on crime that crackdown has to start at the top with the with the with the criminals who made

a successful living out of crime i take it as you say that absolutely let's focus even though on what david cameron had to say today in this crackdown maybe on social media about this i just don't complete the bigger picture you're talking about but you know it's ironic kind of listening to what he had to say there david cameron he's going to prevent the lead pretty much but the lever on his hands isn't it wasn't that long ago he was praising those revolutions were all about using social networking in egypt in tunisia zia now is ready to cloud then on the same card the websites. well the way he's going he's going to provoke a revolution in this part of the world and i would say if it needs a revolution to enforce the rule of law so be it the rule of law can't be enforced if it's got it all for the rich and one for the poor the rule of law means the same law for everyone we have to start with the most powerful criminals and what we've seen recently is politicians on the take chief police constables on the take.

recent we've seen the bankers on the take and these people have to be dealt with and i'm not really comes to the question of violence what i would say is this legitimate law enforcement does require a certain amount of coercion let's have it but the scenes we saw over the last couple of days know over the weekend shops being looted people being burned out of the flats is that the way to get the change it's. unexpressed. i can't even imagine how how could i possibly want my neighborhood to be burnt my garden to be invaded by the would i live to be looted of course i don't i'm simply saying instead of weasel words from politicians ok we're beginning to see a politician's right here and now let's have some action and the action has to start with the people who are the most powerful criminals and we know that the politicians are in the pay of those same bankers they said they set fire to say i mean you have greece now in spain up in smoke italy spain apparently france next these bankers have set fire to the global economy that these riots of course are

terrible because we stopped you know the looting is obvious because a few million pounds worth of damage as opposed to billions actually ultimately trillions of pounds worth of damage because from the real powerful criminals that are running that kind of the moment what is it the promise of focus so much on social media do you think he's using it as a kind of scapegoat maybe sort of play how he's flexing for his government it's completely ridiculous it's like i don't know if it's like a lot of blaming landline for all pushbutton phones for the for the broad water rights or something i mean it's not i don't know it's good but in any case how would you. you know how would you stop the bankers using social media to close down the electronic systems you wouldn't have a trade i don't think he's talking here not about banks he's talking here about the way that the law now you go is that. using. i know i know i'm saying that the printers do coordinate a crime they do use the social media they do use very sophisticated electronic equipment maybe it's got to start you know but i mean let's get our priorities right that's what i'm sorry oracle what about a club on the social media and on twitter or facebook or blackberry just said if

you name it good or bad why should that be as easy as as you said it is just so ironic having celebrated the facebook revolution the social media the twitter revolution so across north africa and the arab world suddenly. decided to crack down on the media here it's absolutely not the s.u.v. it's serious inequality in it the issue is is is that i mean what kind of society are we that drives eleven year olds fourteen year old kids for that's. mental state it's a very close to you know to burn the local store it's a very good question because we get action we need we need action not weasel politicians words all right thanks for your message i'm afraid we're out of time for talk about this for a lot more chris night their political activist joining us on the line from london thank you. israel'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 in the west bank this comes just weeks said of an

expected move by the palestinian ministration state recognized at the u.n. security council. middle east correspondent paula slee a reports. the israeli government has announced that it approves the construction of we're being 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 not 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 that israel in mixed but that explanation 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 thoughtful housing they're also criticizing the high cost of living in this country but the government denies that its announcement has any kind of political connotations insect interior ministry says it was merely of the spawns to the growing housing crisis in this country but he's 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's clear that the government is going to please 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 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 u.s. state department issued a statement in which it said that it was deeply concerned around some nine hundred housing units a full 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 that would actually prevent palestinian easter woosnam from being connected to bethlehem and anything 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 a non. backstage israeli government is planning to build one thousand six hundred housing units and there's a part of the announcement today that created a lot of tension between the u.s. and the israeli government uncertain today what we seeing in light of this announcement of tension just being there exacerbated. becoming saying on the news that more settler homes will be built these jerusalem baskin tell me it could hurt the situation more than it already has been hurt and this is not a when when it seems likely that israelis and palestinians will be moving towards the peace talks and that the americans will be leading the way the main issue that is blocking return to negotiations is the continued settlement building by the government of israel this is not going to help the situation let's face it the government of israel feels pretty immune to any criticism around the world right

there was this issue everyone is busy with the global financial crisis the united states as well those involved there are some twenty percent of the u.s. congress visiting israel this week and we don't know that mr netanyahu has a lot more support in the american congress than he does even in his own parliament so this will just be another is really active building more settlements within neighborhoods of use to resign without anyone really blinking and it's not going to help the situation it's not going to hurt it much more than it's already hurting. check out our website our two dot com for more news blogs analysis is takes few stories to go online tonight for you swift revenge insurgents in afghanistan have downed the coalition's helicopter leaving thirty eight dead or killed in a special operation that is so the taliban is denying tonight the latest updates online for you tonight is this a dot com story we brought yes they didn't catch it find out what's being done to stop sexual predators when paedophile offenders escape justice in rush's far east

people take longer own hands there again we got a report on live for us exclusively from a sort of top cop. to american war veterans can go ahead with a civil lawsuit over allegations that were wrongfully held and tortured in iraq by the u.s. forces don't rumsfeld former countries secretary of defense could be found personally liable in this the two men worked for a private security company in iraq in two thousand and six when they highlighted concerns the firms engaged in corruptions get more from brian becker from the walkover that is joining us now from washington i live right now these two men they were detained for nine months in retaliation for efforts to reveal illegal activities by their employer that's their story how much would the former bush and current obama administration want to get their case dismissed. well it's obviously a top priority clearly for the bush administration and all the bush era officials who could also be stripped of immunity and held liable for crimes committed during

their watch but it's also a priority for the obama administration which ironically is the entity providing defense for donald rumsfeld. the seventh circuit court of appeals ruled is that if donald rumsfeld's policies knowingly violated the american constitution the u.s. constitution if they engaged in or allow the engagement of illegal activities like torture that he does not have immunity from prosecution or from civil suit and so this opens the door to what is growing as an as a movement inside the united states and internationally for accountability and consequences for crimes committed during the bush era you know a court has ruled that from a pentagon chief donald rumsfeld has got no immunity in this case do you believe he could there ever be brought to justice if found guilty. well the what rumsfeld would be held liable for right now in the case of

a civil action is not criminal penalties but civil penalties in other words money and other possible relief injunctive relief that the that the plaintiffs may be seeking but what we have to recognize is that by stripping rumsfeld of immunity for the acts of torture against american citizens this opens wide to do were not only for rumsfeld but for dick cheney for bush for all of those who advocated or put into place policies like the policy of torture which they call enhanced interrogation techniques euphemistically and very thinly euphemistically disguising torture which is illegal then that means all of these people could be in the dock in the united states for instance there's movement in on line called indict bush now which calls for the indictment of rumsfeld cheney bush one hundred seventy thousand americans have signed also in line with the court's decision demanding accountability and consequences for crimes committed during the bush era brought is

there a linkage to nationality of who allegedly committed the crimes as well without but other lawsuits in the past against the u.s. government over allegations of abuse and torture overseas but most evolved forum is so the easily been dismissed by u.s. courts now of course this one is different because it's american citizens dealing in american courts it seems the court is therefore taking a different approach hence the u.-turn yeah. well very possibly the court might have thought the fact that these are u.s. citizens and not afghans or iraqis or or pakistanis others who have been subjected to the same and perhaps even and i'm say with certainty much far worse abuse in the hands of the their u.s. jailers maybe the court use this as a way to give itself some space but the fact of the matter is once and unity is stripped from rumsfeld once he has to stand trial for torture which is what these

men are alleging then it opens the door why not only in the united states but internationally for similar court actions and i think you'll see those percolating up this could be the tip of the iceberg in terms of the movement for accountability and consequences for torture and other crimes committed during the bush era briefly just looking at the response from the rumsfeld saw a. lawyer representing dunn rooms filled the not surprisingly the court decision was a blow which the u.s. military putting american soldiers at risk and shackling officials who have a constitutional duty to protect america is there any mileage in that at all. well it's the expected response from the pentagon if you try to hold pentagon officials in this case the head of the pentagon donald rumsfeld accountable for torture or other illegal acts that somehow shackles the hands of u.s. military but ironically it suggests that the united states government needs to demands to him is engaging in illegal acts in that if anyone holds them accountable

that will be quote shackling their effort to carry out war it's partly demagogy but by virtue of the nature of the argument it also reveals that they in fact have institutionalized torture otherwise they would not be afraid of the allegation against it brought back and for to leave it there thanks for being on the program director of the answer coalition talk to us on the line from washington d.c. . next the loss of america's aaa credit score sparked panic sell offs of global markets after several days of concern over where the france would retain its highest status ratings giants did reaffirm its top billing wednesday but a verse does remain unconvinced that the country's finances a solid enough financial analyst might skies told me he believes the french banking system is not going to pull through the current crisis. the french banks are loaded with toxic derivatives that were sold to them by american investment banks and the american investment banks plus the rating agencies plus the hedge funds are now

attacking these french banks they know where the bodies are buried and they're using the weapons that they sold them to attack them and you know going back to the s. and p. downgrade just before the s. and p. downgrade of u.s. debt i told you point blank with certainty that the rating would be downgraded now i'm telling you that the rating will be downgraded again because this is part of a new era on wall street where they go after sovereign debt and the hedge funds and the rating agencies and wall street banks work together now to destabilize the sovereign debt of these countries because remember the hedge funds wall street working with the rating agencies are bigger than any of these countries this is a war this is the world war three this is the new war using financial derivatives and the objective is to preserve the speculative rates given to the wall street bankers of zero percent you know ben bernanke you this week a man said we're going to keep interest rates at zero for another two years or

indefinitely that doesn't help workers that doesn't help savers it doesn't help society it only helps speculators that only helps the plunderers grantees job is to be down in the mouth and say that he must keep interest rates low that's his job and to determine where interest rates should be he looks up to a series of statistics that do not include energy or food so he does not see inflation he only looks at things that are falling in price and therefore he concludes that there is deflation and that interest made rates must be near zero and in switzerland now interest rates have gone negative they're charging people to keep money at the bank my prediction will be this will be widespread all over the g. twenty nations negative interest rates forcing people into these speculative bets which of course benefit the terrorist the financial terrorist j.p. morgan goldman sachs h.s.b.c. barclays the central banks the bank of international settlements the rating agencies the hedge funds this is a war. well the early macs because it's always must watch t.v. here on our t.v.

welcome to business r.t. with me the regional bank of the russian markets have closed and positive for the first time in seven trading sessions it was anything but a smooth day there with markets experiencing exceptional volatility moscow was given a lift towards the close after wall street opened strongly for the national capital explains what he thinks might bring some stability and sanity back to. it's crazy out there of the moment so i think the markets are you know that 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 of those very difficult with the volatility that we're seeing right now 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 i don't think there's any sort of one one thing that people are looking for i would guess 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 u.s. to try and address these kinds of these kinds of issues perhaps if there's one thing that could sort of draw a line under everything is the european. finally admitting that there needs to be some kind of fiscal union within your. power so you can look at the closing figures for the russian markets the r.t.s. and my six managed to gain per cent at the end of thursday session while the my six was actually dropping to twelve months during the session secular the closing of figures for some of the stocks main movers gas prom among energy energy shares was one of the most impressive stocks up zero point six percent of the close dollars nicole down the minus of syria's war by two percent of the company's shares to one point two billion dollars and the rolls telecom losing another fifteen percent in just one session on the back of a real evaluation of the company's worth after its unification with all of its
