2:02 pm
earlier today the cobra emergency response committee has been looking at least operate relations they've seen that 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 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 rise we saw in the middle east also did discuss the potential use of the army if the violence gets out of hand they haven't ruled that out so there is still a potential last resort. in the meantime no 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 time policing has already been seen in some parts of video has surfaced on usually during police in manchester a couple of nights ago. in using this more robust tactic pulling off alleged
2:03 pm
looters from their bicycles wrestling to them to the ground this is because the uproar in social 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 burning in london were very busy working through the night process that 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 going into facilities for young people and. 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
2:04 pm
society he's branded sick but seemingly unlike cameron people who live in the country's poorest communities saw this armrests coming exacerbated by government policy i think that certain things that we had that swimming used to be feeds the fact that. i think it gave a place for children to go and cuts and stuff that will give opportunities for children who are less fortunate to go and enjoy stuff in holidays so they resort to . that habit. you know you call that used to be fed up in just a figment disenfranchised in england is nothing for them because it doesn't seem to be anything for these days there's no jobs it's nothing for them to be here with him today but lying 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 killed equate rights with responsibilities anti social behavior results in
2:05 pm
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 to out the you hate me they me call me their own pay me i don't know what they mean put plainly something to control your own way. with. a save go a lot of use but nothing. screams the same place to help something to do again exploit chancery sure it's true she finds 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 starts to because of government cutbacks the team can only reach hard thing else does the. used to be fame in school because they have
2:06 pm
a criteria jump through hoops of seven. didn't go one two through that did not achieve anything in life and respirations change and as a result of that. it's a criminal or maybe drugs are just becoming a bowman society youth unemployment in hackney east london runs it over thirty percent parts of the car 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. if i wanted to do the most jobs in our field in pubs and shops and everywhere you go there for wives and europeans who are highly educated. language and they're getting the jobs and our own people are not getting 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 all say not neglected winner in this immediate
2:07 pm
situation and that's 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 you shouldn't be surprised to see violence flared again in you from all walks of life you're and it's artsy actually that. all social websites like facebook and twitter are under threat as david cameron vows to do whatever it takes to restore order in the u.k. as part of political activists chris knight who told me he believes the media clampdowns ridiculous that the real issue is being missed. well obviously there's been a lot of violence. and looting going on recently and we need a crackdown on on crime but really for that crackdown to be affective it has to start but this government is closing down through that swimming pools and shopping youth centers and it's randomizing the economy we've got a lot of looting going on we need to crack down on crime that crackdown has to
2:08 pm
start at the top with the with the with the criminal to be successful living out of crime it's just so ironic having celebrated the facebook revolution the social media of a pretty revolution across north africa and the arab world suddenly. started to crack down on the media here it's absolutely not the issue the issue is inequality you know the issue is is is that i mean what kind of a society are we that drives eleven year olds fourteen year old kids to that. mental state to you know to burn the local store that that we need action we need we need action not weasel politicians words. on a web site r.t. the congressman ask you what a possible crackdown on social networks in the u.k. could be this is what you're telling us but so far the majority of you believe it would be a serious blow to democracy in that britain would stand in line with countries like china libya and egypt then others of you are convinced the measure would never be enforced and the rest of agree with david cameron that banning users from the web
2:09 pm
would make it harder to organize for the ones that you think about the stories big question what's the answer let us know what you think of our team but it chanced if you'd have your say tonight. israel's approve the building of six 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 it covers just weeks said of an expected move by the palestinian ministration this state recognized at the u.n. security council at his middle east correspondent. 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 are expected to give been not to a third of the two thousand seven hundred now these housing units are in areas in neighborhoods across the one hundred sixty seven armistice lines they are areas of israel in next but an extension was never recognized by the international community
2:10 pm
now certainly the timing is significant because this announcement comes as tens of thousands of israelis and takes to the street corner for more affordable housing they're also criticizing the high cost of living in this country but the government denies this announcement has in mind of political connotations insect interior ministry says it was merely i was bonds to the growing housing crisis in this country but he now movement has issued a statement and it really echoes what many activists in this country are saying and to quote from part of that it's clear that the government is unlikely using the housing crisis in israel to promote the construction of 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 though and it comes ahead of next month's planned palestinian announcement of statehood early this week in a rare move the state department issued
2:11 pm
a statement in which it said that it was deeply concerned around some nine hundred housing units a full plot of this group that would been 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 rooster them from being connected to basically homes and many thing that there is an attempt to try and make a future palestinian state that much more in father bill now last march when the u.s. by president joe biden was here it was a non. backstage at the israeli government was 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've seen in light of this announcement back and of tension just been exacerbated of his policy there are mideast correspondent will come and say on the news that more subtle homes were built in east jerusalem spoke around this goshen basket he says it couldn't hurt
2:12 pm
the situation more than it already. and this is not a win when it seems likely that israelis and palestinians will be moving toward the peace talks and that the americans will be leading the way the main issue that has blocked a 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 on this issue everyone is busy with a global financial crisis the united states as well these are people there are some twenty percent of the u.s. congress visiting israel this week and we all know that mr netanyahu has a lot more support in the american congress than he does even in his own parliament so this isn't just be another is really 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. more that story from us online tonight on our web site r t v dot com and the rest
2:13 pm
of the news and blogs and analysis to about all the day's events here's a taste of some of the stories we go online few as well swift revenge nato says insurgents in afghanistan have downed the coalition's helicopter leaving thirty eight dead the killed in a special operation that meantime some of the taliban is denying you can pick up the full story online from us exclusively from us tonight also follow what's being done to stop sexual predators when paedophile offenders escape justice in russia's far east it's been happening a lot now people are banding together again find out exactly what they're doing online and are teed off on. two american contractors can it go ahead with a civil lawsuit over allegations that they were wrongfully held and tortured in iraq by the u.s. forces the runs for the country's former secretary of defense could be held personally liable the two men worked for a private security company in iraq in two thousand and six when they highlighted concerns their firms engaged in corruption they were detained then for nine months
2:14 pm
of a u.s. military facility near baghdad airport and released without explanation or charge brian becker from the anti war coalition says this case could open a door to punishment for officials from the bush administration accused of torture . 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 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 can be in the dock 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.
2:15 pm
military but ironically it suggests that the united states government needs to demands too and is engaging in illegal acts and 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. the loss of america's aaa credit score. global markets he wishes of being choppy so far off the suffering the worst drop since two thousand and eight monday while the federal reserve admitted the economy was weaker than previously thought no immediate stimulus package was offered to lift it either increasing investor fears let's talk more about that stephen less is logan international business times contributor and member of the democrat support organization democrats for progress a busy taking the time to be on. the u.s. downgrade resonated far wider as we've seen jubilee investment pay whorls right to
2:16 pm
strip the u.s. of a precious. what is called so much trouble now. i do believe that they were correct i know that's not a very popular poseur position and i don't like the aftereffects of it let's face it standard and poor's has one responsibility here kevin the responsibility is to investors who rely on their ratings to determine what the risks are in any given institution and here in the united states we have a faction of the u.s. government specifically the tea party republicans who are willing to cause a default if they don't get their ideological demands met and that being the case standard our standard of course has to go back to their investors and say listen if united states is not right to safe and if and if an investment as it is anymore there might be a default because of these tea party republicans you know what party interests but allowed to come first to international condemnation coming through the u.s. china or even coal the way that the u.s. has handled the whole debt crisis thing highly irresponsible gets policies by
2:17 pm
getting in the way how is this all happening it is a responsible it's a very juvenile it's a very juvenile way to behave one of the things that i would i would remind folks though of kevin i was actually here the day after election day on archie talking about the tea party and its upcoming role and how it might affect how the u.s. government operates going forward one of the things i said is they were they were very effective at agitating they were very effective at causing problems for the government but could they now be part of a governing coalition could they be responsible and i think what we've seen in the debate over the debt ceiling is no they can't do that they're not capable of governing and that's something that the rest of the republican party is going to have to deal with going so you're saying that or we could force up to this. no question about it no question about it now and i'll tell you talking about the rest of the republican party one of the one of the interesting things coming out of the whole debt ceiling debate and most of the debate was actually happening within the republican party you had john boehner who had a tentative deal reached with the obama administration and with the senate for
2:18 pm
a lot more cuts that eventually happened he was sort of undercut from within his party by eric cantor by the tea party wing of the republican party pulled back and that's really when the ugly part of it stood bait happened that's when the debate got extended that's when the uncertainty stepped in so what we've got going forward is all of the question marks are within the republican party who's really in charge there is some sort of order going to be reestablished or the folks who fund the republican party who have a lot of holdings who have a lot to lose in terms of the market and stocks if things go south are they going to say listen if you let these folks hijack the discussion again if you let them take us in the direction of a default we're not going to give you any money in the joint trouble lections that's what is really needed here to restore order and i'm sort of looking to see if that wing if the more mainstream republican party starts to try to reassert itself going forward does the american economy go off to this off the friday's
2:19 pm
downgrade by s. and pay no loan go away as the top aaa credit and is it going to be hailed from here on in as well you listen to max kaiser in the kaiser report he says it's the it's the beginning of the end. he could very well be you know one of the things i want to say the president said you know the economy is in good health because really no reason for the stock market to go south and he's right in a way but you know one of the things that struck me is in terms of economic institutions so much it relies upon perception and you know even in a rather healthy bank for instance if all the sudden a cut the public loses confidence if there's an inaccurate report put out about a bank and the public decides to have a run on that bank that bank will fail even though it's otherwise healthy so it's a perception issue as much as anything else yes there are some specific systemic problems yes we are carrying too much debt but they're becoming as a whole i believe is strong we're dealing with a perception issue in ok so you think there is a way out of the crisis. there's no question about it and again that part of the
2:20 pm
government that is willing to engage in brinksmanship if they're brought under control with they're brought back to the table and they say listen you know we realize we made a mistake let's have a responsible way forward you know let's not give the perception that the government can't make up its mind up and government is willing to default let's go forward let's come together and with a cohesive plan then yeah i think this can be brought under control pretty quickly it'll be interesting to see if they're going to do that though because i think the republicans are hesitant they're hesitant to bring the tea party under control because that's where the energy is in the republican party the candidates for president you'll see in two thousand and twelve they're doing right really well right now michele bachmann and soon mr perry if governor perry if he declares on sunday they are popular because of their support within the tea party so there's a very delicate line that has to be crossed i don't know if the republicans can do it if they don't this economy is in for a really bumpy ride ok steve unless
2:21 pm
a friend of your thoughts on the program much appreciated steve letter from new york that. well he can only instability spreading across the globe and fears of more fukushima style nuclear disaster is the number of doomsday believe it is on the rallies struggling global finances are increasingly sending people to stock up on basic necessities seems to be the case and it's a see a church in it right some americans who are ready for the worst it's just a typical house in a regular suburban town but here a family is preparing for the end of the world. german mouser and p. thirty eight from world war two a twelve gauge shotgun. a forty caliber pistol and an eight ar fifteen weapons and ammunition are key for carrying this out on the street for some reason all hell broke out and it's you know and the world type situation he persecute a certified n.r.a. instructor and owner of two businesses store student supplies to help and survive

2:26 pm
it's crazy moments i think the markets are. 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 was very difficult with the volatility that was 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 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. or let's take a look at the markets we start with the european markets they closed on the first day on a positive note see up three percent but that sprit point three percent but of
