is kevin owen here tonight it's eleven pm our top story for you the british prime minister is considering banning rioters from social networks used to organize elements of the rest david cameron speaking to parliament in the wake of clashes that engulfed the country what started as a peaceful protest against police shooting a man in north london quickly grew into scenes 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 groups of people this was mentioned in parliament by the prime minister earlier today the cobra emergency response committee has been looking at these top regulations they've seen that social media has played a really important point in mobilizing these rise 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 rise 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 there is still a potential last resort. in the meantime though 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 tough policing has already been seen in some parts video has surfaced on you she trained 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 media with a lot of criticism coming in for these tactics in 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 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 this rich. residents and anger of the government for ignoring what

they say is the real problem here which is on employment not enough funds going into facilities for young people and disillusioned 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 sick but seemingly unlike cameron people who live in the country's poorest communities still of a son rest coming exacerbated by government policy i think that certain things that we had like swimming used to me 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. that habit that you know you can't blame that used to be inside out 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 think the way for them to go flying 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 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 they need but they need something to take control it's not on the pay. where the parents or the i think they've got a lot of you. nothing to do. schemes the same place to help them have something to

do again exploit. the sure it's true if you found one of those schemes being cut 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 start so because of government cutbacks the team can only reach half the youngsters they used to they're deemed to be failing in school because they haven't met the criteria of jump through the hoops of seven g.c.s.e. . and go on to thought that have not achieved anything in life and respirations change and as a result often they are criminal or maybe drugs or just becoming a society youth unemployment in hackney east london runs at 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 are filled by. shops and 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 of marginalised it's not a quick fix and as such it's also not the lexan when or if they want this immediate situation down the console 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 in you from all walks of life you're emmet r.t. actually. so social websites like facebook and twitter under threat the news david cameron violence to do whatever it takes to restore order in the u.k. as part of political activist chris knight who told me he believes the media

ridiculous and warms of the real issues being missed. well obviously there's been a lot of violence. and looting going on recently and we need to crack down on crime but really for that crackdown to be affective it has to start at the top and this government is closing down throwing books 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 it's just so ironic having celebrated the facebook revolution the social media the twitter revolution across north africa and the arab world suddenly. decided to clamp down on the media here it's absolutely not the issue the issue is inequality the unit the issue is is is that there's i mean what kind of a society are we that drives eleven year olds fourteen year old kids to that's.

mental state to to you know to burn the local store that that we need action we need we need action not weasel politicians words. well that's one person's thoughts what's yours on a web site r t dot com we've been asking what a possible crackdown on social networks in the u.k. could mean thanks for letting us know if you have taken part this is what it's telling us 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 if it went ahead others over there were convinced the measure would never be in force you don't think you'd ever get that far anyway the rest of you agree with david cameron that banning users from the web would make it harder to organize further crimes is an interesting question what's your view on it let us know what r t dot com always a chance there to have your say on our channel. israel has 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 ahead of an expected move by the palestinians ministration to have the state recognized by the u.n. security council middle east correspondent paula runs it all up for you. 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 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 annexation 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 insect 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 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 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 that formed part of this group that would been planned for a neighborhood known as the heart of home or essentially in this neighborhood to illustrate a team who 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 erase vice president joe biden was here it was a. 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 thirty today what we seeing in light of this announcement is that kind of tension just being further exacerbated. mideast correspondent for the latest to check out our web site if you get a minute or two go calm for more news blogs and analysis from us here's a taste of a few stories you might like tonight swift revenge nato says insurgents in afghanistan who are one of the coalition's helicopters you might recall leaving thirty eight dead were killed in a special operation the meantime outside of the taliban is an eye opening culture with a whole story there online from us tonight at r.t. dot com and the story probably yes they didn't catch it you might want to follow more about this of interest to find out what's being done to stop sexual predators

when paedophile offenders a skate justice in russia's far east it's been happening quite a lot there are people who are banding together to try to protect themselves and their kids it's at our t.v. tonight exclusively from moscow. to american contractors can go ahead with a civil lawsuit over allegations that were wrongfully held and tortured in iraq by the u.s. forces donald rumsfeld the country's former secretary of defense could be held personally liable now the two men worked for a private security company in iraq in two thousand and six when at the time they highlighted concerns their firm was engaged in corruption they were then detained for nine months in the u.s. military facility near baghdad airport and released without explanation or charge i spoke to brian back from the anti war coalition who told me this case could open a door to punishment for officials from the bush administration accused of talk shit now. what we have to recognize is that by stripping rumsfeld of immunity for the acts of torture against american citizens this opens wide the door

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 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 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. brought back the loss of america's aaa credit score spock's public sell

off so global markets is a big choppy so far off the suffering that was dropped since two thousand and eight on monday while the federal reserve admitted the economy was weaker than it previously thought but no immediate stimulus package would offer the lifted either increasing invest a fee is still to mature a bit he's joined this to no stove the news radio station a better world we all wish for it that way but you'll live to see you thanks for being on the program the american people are now facing social programs like medicare medicaid but yet the huge military budget used to fund the america's many foreign wars remains virtually touched fair or not i put that to you. well i think this is one of the tragic things of our u.s. government and the way it managers our taxpayers money haven't and i hope that this comes to an end sometime soon the republicans seem like they are hell bent on

driving our economy into the ground no matter what it costs and to deprive people that are so needy of basic social services and programs it's really very tragic so how was washington playing to justify all these cuts to these people in need. i'm sorry how is washington planning to justify these cuts oh yes i don't think they can justify them they do it in the name of debt as though dead is the most horrible thing on the planet it's not it's not necessarily a good thing but there is a history that shows that when a nation has dead it actually helps to stimulate the economy it's an interesting inverse of the way the republican regards the situation so no one wants to be

heavily in debt and there is a need to drop unnecessary costs but it's very valuable to keep those costs that serve people instead of just the banking industry the federal reserve bank and the other lord corporations that are basically running our treasury and our government we saw so many political games didn't weigh in washington playing a big role in the downgrade no but i you look at it and as we came up to that default deadline looming a week last tuesday it seemed the party agenda was coming before the country stability was played run up to the wire i mean what you're looking at it from abroad it looked pretty strange but one of the american public think of that. well from abroad and for some of us here devon it looks like children playing in a sandbox except the sand belongs to us we the people in reality it's

absurd there is a level of self interest taking place on both sides but primarily on the republican side that seems to know no one and it is very apparent to many of us haven't that they are playing into the hands of their corporate sponsors and that essentially a small group a cabal if you will which was the word i used in my huffington post article is really calling the shots on behalf of the people of the republicans and the republicans are very much just puppets it's a very sad situation it's actually pathetic and we are all suffering as a result of this is it wishful thinking when president obama is calling for lawmakers to learn from what's happened to work together better in future all things only come down after the elections next year. well it's

a beautiful idea i would love to see it actually happen but i don't think it's actually realistic at this point in time look my original profession is in psychology and so i regard all that's going on on the stage or i should say the circus of washington d.c. as a play of psychological issues essential a pathologies and until one learns to step out of one's own. position and look at the world from a fresh and from a higher point of view and taking into consideration the people who the congress is supposed to be serving and with some compassionate heart go back to the people and go back to congress and start thinking and legislating in negotiating from that point of view we don't stand

a chance so even though things look really very devastating from one point of view kev and i will do or say this is a new beginning it needs to happen the way it's happening just so that we can see the horror of this current situation and start a new type of government and a new type of governance and a relationship between the economic sector the corporate sector and the people themselves or good to have you on the program journalist most of the news radio station or better world we hope it all pans out thanks being with us. now we cannot begin to civility spreading across the globe and fears of more fukushima style nuclear disasters the number of doomsday believers is on the rise struggling global finances are increasingly sending people to stock up on basic necessities artie's a necessity americans are ready for the worst. a typical house in

a regular suburban town but here a family's preparing for the end of the world. german mauser 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 if we're carrying this out on the street for some reason and all hell broke out and it's you know and the world type situation he's persecute a certified and or rain structure 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 or face and possible pay the lase for a source of purity. 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 the most political but 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 this one a proper survival bag is not a typical first aid kit it includes things like a parachute cord a 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 contamination and on top of you have a cup or two of the. deal if you would slip into a chemical proof if you want to talk on the situation i want to point 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 being on the other end of the mine teach

father who is. actually my next room good view of police officer for twenty five years he's now retired his mean past time is operating a ham radio. for him communications really really if disaster strikes the tsunami and earthquake in japan a couple months ago he really 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 for. radio wave propagation but probably for all practical purposes peace 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 we see those who seem paranoid today may end up being the smartest tomorrow and if they see it you're going up r.t. somerville new jersey. for the been used tonight six militants have been killed in

an anti terrorist raid in the capital of russia's southern republican doug a star police say among the dead was the leader of a terrorist cell responsible for attacks on security forces and officials it's thought that he helped train a suicide bomber who blew himself up at a military camp in the republic last year fifty six officers were killed in that attack dog style remains russia's most volatile region facing near daily militant violence or islam twenty three pm no thanks being with us come out shortly tonight the cause report for you max and stacey discussed so america's weight and economy could drag other countries down with it shortly but in the meantime let's skip the latest thursday night business live from moscow dmitri medvedev is here next. thanks kevin the russian markets have closed in positive territory for the first time in seven trading sessions it was anything but a smooth day 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 the markets. it's crazy the moment i think the markets are you know that they're really trading on the 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 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 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. all right let's take a look at how the markets recovering massively united states there are much better

than just polls that say oh that's been expected job states and new jobless claims declined by seven thousand last week bringing this down to its lowest since april there were dow jones is up four point six percent nasdaq more than five percent. so you look at the closing picture in europe where the footsie and the dikes gaining more than three percent the european union's markets supervisor said the european regulators are increasing surveillance of financial markets following several days of steep sell. now the closing picture in russia where the r.t.s. m i six only managed half a percent of gains but that's at least a positive session which hasn't happened since last tuesday and let's take a look at some of the movers for my outstanding performance of energy shares four point six percent norilsk nickel is down at the close to minus of serious book by

two percent of the company's shares for one point two billion dollars and ross telecom lost fifteen percent after revaluation of the united company with all of its subsidiaries. two commodities now and gold is trading low as is silver that's off to setting a record high for gold of eighteen hundred dollars per ounce but this hour's down two point six percent of the buses are moving back into stocks from safe haven assets and prices have started a better than expected recovery light sweet is up two dollars seventy five cents brant is almost one hundred eight dollars per barrel has the confidence come back to investors about the pace of recovery after this of positive economic data from the united states. all right you can join my colleague marina koester or she'll be here eight twenty moscow time with a fresh friday business update for you and coming next we'll have.
