british prime minister is considering banning rioters from social networks used to walk in a zoo elements of the unrest 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 it to seem to bedlam other 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 groups of people this was mentioned in parliament by the prime minister earlier today the cobra emergency response committee has been looking at 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 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 there is still a potential last resort. in the meantime though before that happens he wants police to be tough water cannons are 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 of video has surfaced on you she trained police in manchester a couple of nights ago. using this more robust tactic pulling off alleged looters 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 and the independent police watchdog has already said it will be launching an investigation into these tactics calls in many parts of the country manchester burning in london who are very busy working through the night to process the one thousand two hundred arrests and among some of those charged already is an eleven year old boy 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 there. real problem here which is unemployment 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 this on rest coming exacerbated by government policy i think that certain things that we had lacked 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 enjoy stuff in holidays so they resort to closing that cabin so that you know you can't blame the use of being fed

up in different feeling disenfranchised and being in there's nothing for them because it doesn't seem to be anything for them these days there's no jobs for them there's nothing for them to think the way for 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 no longer have recourse to punishment and can't count on support from parents to out the 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. where the parents or their i think they've got a lot of you nothing to do. schemes the same place to help them. have something to

do again x. by chance are you sure it's true as you found one of those schemes being caught is this bus which goes round the housing estates in hackney providing much needed resources and encouragement to young people they used to be another bus to but now there's no money to pay starts so because of government cutbacks the team can only reach 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. and go on to through that have not achieved anything in life and respirations change and as a result of that often they are criminal or maybe drugs or just becoming a society youth unemployment in hackney east london runs it 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. in pubs in shops in everywhere you go 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 an election when 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 flared again in you from all walks of life you're an authority hackney. social websites like facebook and twitter are under threat then as david cameron voted to do whatever it takes to restore order in the u.k. political activist chris knight told me he believes the media clampdowns ridiculous though and warns that the real issue is 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 effective it has to start at the top and this government is closing down throwing but 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 revolutions and 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 you know to burn the local store that that we need action we need

we need action not weasel politicians words. well on our website r.t. dot com we're asking what you think about all this what a possible crackdown on social networks in the u.k. could mean what are your views this is what you are telling us to take a look at them out some folding it's moved a bit out of this the blues got fair but actually from last so far the majority of uganda believing it would be a serious blow to democracy in the britain would stand in line with countries like china libya egypt is. not a big portion of their thirty four percent convinced the measure would never be inforced anyway. twelve percent of you and the rest agree with david cameron that banning users from the web would make it harder to organize for the crowd we want to know what you think so go on our website dot com you can have your say. israel's approach 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 it comes just weeks ahead of an

expected move by the palestinian administration to have this state recognized at the u.n. security council his mideast correspondent paula sleeper 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 the 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 arms to two 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 of the spawns 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 hard home or essentially in this neighborhood to illustrate a team who would have a line of his radio 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's much more improbable now last march when the vice president joe biden was here it was announced. at that stage that 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 and certainly today what we're seeing in light of this announcement and that kind of tension just being there exacerbated by his mideast correspondent paula slayer there were commenting on the news that more settler homes were built in east jerusalem and as gershon baskin told me it couldn't hurt the situation more than it already has. and this is not a time 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 is block to 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 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 all know that mr netanyahu has a lot more support in the american congress than he does even in his own parliament so there's still just be another is really active building more settlements within neighborhoods of use jerusalem 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. it was more stories in a website of course our news blogs analysis even fun arts and culture all on our website for your sake a look at some stories there tonight while we take a look at the plight of serbs in kosovo tonight who were subject to harassment because of their ethnicity that's a new story we've got few getting a lot of clicks tonight as we thought we brought your attention as well take a look not called it already also with the details of a shootout in a stolen your earlier on where a gunman entered the defense ministry and took hostages at it r t dot com.

the loss of america's aaa credit score sparked panic sell off some global markets shares have been choppy so far after suffering the worst drop since two thousand and eight on monday while the federal reserve admitted the economy was weaker than previously thought however no immediate stimulus package was offered a lift in either increasing investor fears radio host michel ray been spoke to me from the a better world radio station he says it's the republicans refusal to deal with the debt that's causing all the problems. 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 that's really very tragic and 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 head set regards the situation so no one wants to be heavily in debt and there is a need to drop the necessary 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 a large corporations that are basically running our treasury and our government they are playing into the hands of their corporate sponsors and that essentially a small group cabal that 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 so the economic instability 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. could have met some americans who are ready for the worst. a typical house in a regular suburban town but here a family is 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 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's persecute a certified and or rain structure and all of two businesses stores food and

supplies to help him survive no matter what disaster might hit breakdown of government is one thing a lot of people are preparing for now or face and possible pay the ladies for so security. i don't believe we're going to need any of this kind of quitting 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 yard. 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

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. but uncertainty taking over the us they say 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. two 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 to. company in iraq in two thousand and six when they highlighted concerns the firms engaged in corruption they were detained for nine months of a u.s. military facility near baghdad airport and released without explanation or charge ride back of 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 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. or 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 and that if anyone holds them accountable there will be quote shadowing there after the curio war it's partly

demagogy by my virtual 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 because it was more news now six militants have been killed in a mentee terrorist raid in the capital of russia's southern republic of dagestan police say among the dead was the leader of a terrorist cell responsible for attacks on security forces and officials he's thought to have helped train a suicide bomber who blew himself up at a military camp in the republican last year fifty six officers were killed in the attack and remains russia's most volatile region facing near daily militant violence also in the headlines a blast has ripped through a car park near a commercial so from the lebanese capital beirut it's killed at least two people a vehicle belonging to the son of a judge nearby when the explosion occurred but it was unclear whether the car or he was the target the area since been sealed off by security forces as the investigation continues the big no targeted bomb attacks in lebanon in the last

sophie shevardnadze catches up with the problem russian astronomer who is convinced that life forms on other planets will be discovered within twenty years if they are .

thank you very much for being with us today you have promised that i'm twenty years time you will have discovered life on other planets are we actually talking about merely some bacteria talking life forms of course one particular form such life settlement where there is life come to the legends of civilization our possibility . of life is of primary importance in want form. of the sun what i'm going to tell you is what our job is that the form will definitely be well known to us when we might pinion and i believe experts are generally agreed on this life and intelligence should they exist elsewhere at all should be highly human like you see essentially the origins of life follow the same pattern just as it is without terms molecules or macromolecules there are fundamental laws of physics if we could apply invariably. these laws have been thoroughly researched wasn't explained and all you need is the right environment that would enable

a process like that to start because these life forms you're talking about develop into a civilization to work with primarily they can develop intelligent sort of i think it is possible because apparently there is some. regular life inevitably develops intelligence if only there's enough time for leads to civilization however this is a very long. mind you. point five billion years ago four billion years ago it was already suitable for my form and in maps that is how long ago initial indications of life back to what evolution takes a long time homo sapiens originated two hundred four thousand years ago but it was only forty thousand years ago the modern humans came about the culture bearing humans that you have. by the way their genesis was a paradox to emerge on earth very quiet then immediately spread all over the vast area from the cape of good hope that the china apparently there are some laws that

we still don't know the details. about the time the earth runs out of its resources and they will definitely be depleted someday perhaps in a few billion years do you think there is a human kind to the having their planet like. what you're talking about i'm not an expert on this i do have a feeling that life is generally organized in such a way of that any species exists for a certain limited period of time it is highly possible and humans are no exception but environmental conditions are changed at least five times in the two hundred fifty million years that we're able to trace back what with up to ninety percent. becoming extinct and earthly flora changing completely if there were some hypotheses going tain if it was caused by an asteroid or comet here but i'm more inclined here on the solar system or the raven universe something of a chemistry giant. and certain species may only be designed to exist for

a limited period of time that may also be the case with human so what we find it difficult. it will be traveling to other stars or grating to other planets for one a massive scale in terms of our immediate primary destination for human can as a short international movement or i might not live long enough to see this definitely will as it will happen within the next twenty to twenty five years three global united states. and china are already competing to settle the first lunar observing treaty is for you and hence the first column on the moon later on some people might call inform us where the within china site is over populated with millions of people getting the land seem naive though the chinese are capable of a lot which you can any case of i doubt it will be traveling. all day believe in aliens when the in what sense do i believe they have visited us just know that

their existence. if there was intelligence and a civilization outside earth then we would call that civilization. but the term is used quite differently by the public to refer to phenomena. here on earth that i do not believe then when i know for a fact that it didn't happen but the good thing is public the more you find this interesting that the u.s.s.r. was the only country in its day to host a first part of one of the more than twenty young people across the territory even at sears was stationed outside the us is all it's. all those people that wanted to disguise from you were photos every single day they detected approximately one thousand out of the usual phenomena only two of which may explain it to this day the rest were either manmade or natural of i believe it has been proven quite convincingly that extra terrestrials never visited it makes sense to the way the

public is thinking and i'm sure that if we were using horses to get around rather than the plane they would think aliens were visiting us on horseback with certain phenomena or interpreted in two of them. in this way because of the schools that wonder what the fuss is think you for this interview. the folks. at least. least
