slamming of the social media sidelining society is david cameron calls for a ban on twitter and facebook locals in the violence drug regions say they feel are bound by the government it's. stripped of immunity u.s. defense over surgery done of wrong sold could find himself in the dark after two iraq war veterans are given the green light to suit him for alleged war crimes. and a media colony angry as the government keeps a firm grip on the press for the controversial war that sees hundreds of journalists like that.

very warm welcome see this is r.t. live from moscow the british prime minister's blaming ganz a blood brief phone than even social networks for inciting the violence in the country david cameron has also said parts of society are sick but locals in the affected areas say they've been neglected by the government for years or this has been security growing all the streets people are now forced to take nothing is into their own hands nor emmet reports from london. called jury a warning to looters if you come out to enfield tonight you'd better be in disguise at the first sign of trouble this is what happens. around five hundred mainly young men chase down the road off to police ready to draw. troublemakers out

of town. despite the mob atmosphere a large crowd of young men are out for justice there's been no trouble so far most ordinary people out to protect their communities a lot of people are his help there obviously are some people that i can to day opposite effect you're going to get everywhere very much started taking all streets of four young children out of the children on the streets on the side maybe if there's no enough police them will help them and just give everyone a wage the cost to the shops and in this push them away basically we don't want to go after anyone cause any trouble we just want a much shorter no one comes in special shops. and it's not just in enfield in other parts of town sikhs have banded together to protect their livelihoods and property sons and daughters come together with us and say let's solve the problems without on the violence and forcing disperse to each other which

then takes it of. causing further violence in the streets. this is the current face of communities across england many of which felt under siege from looters and said in their darkest hour the police were nowhere to be seen police have not been anywhere where the police if the police let it be all that would've been done maybe this is what david cameron means when he talks constantly about the big society handing power and responsibility back to local communities and i think the scenes we all saw our television screens last night of communities coming together to try and stop violence taking place was a mortal how these things should be done that despite the fact that three young asian men were killed in birmingham early on wednesday trying to protect local businesses looters allegedly rammed the with a car the tragedy ignited anger in the asian community of vigilante power. attracts

all sorts and more pentel it doesn't just rear its head in looters there's a huge number of police officers on the streets of england at the moment which many find reassuring but groups like the enfield army proves that communities still feel police are unable to protect them and with budget cuts the front line officers still on the table bodies on the beat could get fewer and further between while the local vigilante weaves could take up the slack nor end it hearty london. where london both political items chris nice has restricting social media is not downing street should begin it wants to stand. this government is closing down through swimming pools and shopping youth centers and it's vandalizing the economy has just throw ironic having celebrated her facebook revolution the social media the twitter revolution across north africa and the arab world suddenly. decided to crack down

on the media here it is absolutely not be your suv you serious inequality serious is. what kind of society are we to drive eleven year olds fourteen year old kids to that. mental straight to you know to burn the local store that that we really actually we need we need action not weasel politicians words. see more stories ahead this hour on r.t. later we reported on the powerful advertising methods the pentagon exploited to make war like. it was under the military for what it was i don't think anyone would join the. party would be to games industry are all part of the pentagon's costly advertising is. a u.s. court has ruled two americans who work for a private security firm can sue donald rumsfeld for illegal imprisonment and torture if proven guilty which means the former defense secretary would be held

personally accountable while in iraq in two thousand and six. where for alleged criminal activity but the u.s. military responded by faith that in prison where they claim they were tortured for weeks after being released without charge they've lost suit against rumsfeld but the motion had been rejected by prosecutors on to now and he will have to face the brain back if that's the case a floodgate for other officials being held to account for. what we have to recognize is that by stripping rumsfeld album unity for the acts of torture against american citizens this opens a door 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 could be in the dark

if you try to hold. on 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 in the. if anyone holds them accountable that will be quote shackling their effort to carry out war it's partly. 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 pentagon still spending huge amounts of dollars to make lucrative career and convince young americans to sign up it's close ties with hollywood and the computer games industry is helping to military service and to try to deal with the economic crisis and on employment working alongside. the theater and i reports now on how it's all playing out for america's youth. a hunt for american youth.

to hunt down the next american enemy war incorporated a robust business machine is operating at full capacity in the us the straight stitch. from televised ads to hollywood blockbusters. to video games to american presidents dumping soldiers the real patriots each of them as. to what it means to be a soldier sailor airman marine and call starts with the image of the american warrior as portrayed as that of the invincible hero times where one of the number one entertainment spots in the big apple attracts millions from around the world and across the u.s. apart from the flashy lights and the billboards there's a recruitment center right here one of hundreds just the new york the mesmerizing techniques luring young americans into serving our more sophisticated than ever

before sponsoring a video game tournaments that keep the tournaments coming and going up to these young kids to perform well and see if the u.s. military needs to see your skills at this video game of course too young fifteen or sixteen or seventeen year old this is something that's very basic it's a cruel deceptive type of recruitment they want to use all the hippest schools they can to make being in the military as cool as possible now as cinematographer edward pages dedicated ten years to being a u.s. soldier he thought it was the honorable thing to do if they were sent to the military for what it was i don't think anyone would join but they do join having played one computer game and seen one more movie too many there's no second chances that you can you can reset the game you can restart a movie there's no second chance when you're actually out there your life is at risk for something that most of these young men have no idea really the true reason

why they're going out there by the time some of. these reasons are realized. military. leaders of the world are. limited to us it is often too late the problem is that a lot of these kids don't know once they get in it's hard to get out the first time to we out is suicide a military report says eighty percent of soldiers in afghanistan have seen a friend killed or injured the core of war quickly replacing its promised glory yet nothing stops the military propaganda campaign now or spending hundreds of millions of dollars every year recruiting groups on recruiting people glorifying war glorifying the killing of people whether it's necessary or not directly and i mean it whole also comes in handy for the pentagon there's a joke in the military that the best reporter is an economic downturn and that recruiter is raging on what happened after two thousand and eight that's all their problem was the desperation of millions of americans we had an economic crisis

we've had unemployment zoom up no matter the times the power of the pentagon seems eternal american leaders do not become presidents by challenging american national security coming in there seems to purity state nor the military industrial complex they just don't do it meaning during in more young americans into more wars with no happy end or give over insights and r.t. new york. already a david says the case is the relationship hollywood enjoys with the pentagon has drastically changed the way americans see u.s. military. the pentagon and the larger u.s. national security apparatus grants and denies access to military hardware military post military slaves military information based on whether a film maker is for air to make a pro-war for the pentagon

a pro-government movie or if you war or a highly critical piece of filmmaking that is a use of government power that frankly tramples the first amendment that say that this public property can only be seen or only used by people who watch you mimic the pentagon supersize life that's a different story than the pentagon simply promoting itself and this is why for every one if you war or pentagon critical movie that is ultimately made you have dozens of walk rosters that glorify or don't ask questions about american military because this subsidy has changed very financial dynamics of the edge of the market works there was a big project versus a couple years ago when the associated press published one single photo of a soldier who had been injured on the battlefield this was cause for outrage when in fact it should have been cause for us to rethink what we are actually doing in the force and that's what was attempted to be hidden in all of this is that we

don't want to look at the blood and guts consequences of war. so that the their salary gagging in the needy of the governments in hungary type new surround the countries press crushing criticism out the rings. now after days of concern ava where the throne from to retain its aaa credit rating is giants reaffirmed the country's top ending on wednesday french banks so three thousand a high that's been the worst affected by the volatility being forced he did not hide that it's financials to because he was at risk but investors remain unconvinced the country's finances are on solid foundations punch and that's not the kinds of things the french banking system would 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 lost trade working with the rating agencies are bigger than any of these countries decided generale and b.n.p. and credit agricole are insolvent their balance sheets are six to ten times bigger in terms of the debt that they carry than they could possibly service but it's carried on the shadow banking system they don't report this that but the insiders around the world who wield the weapons of mass financial destruction are tackling them to force these on realize that's under their balance sheet to force these

israel feels pretty immune to any criticism around the world right now on this issue everyone is busy with a 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 this isn't just be another is really 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 already hurting. our government without a controversial and media control or it will see hundreds of journalists in the freedom of the press are very cattails but as our first reports despite fierce opposition many have been forced into silence over fears for their top security. evils evil speak no evil at least not about the hunger. a

change in. media law claim their journalists being silence. it's about hiding things and hiding that source and that's covering. it was. the line of the government and that's there's there's there's there's the whole message of. covering broadcast print and online content the controversial new law will also established any media authority that is working for the media regulate all chosen by the ruling party and were loyal supporters just being selected for public service. by the. and there have been some measure of the office and the boot. people loyal to the government in two key positions that make public t.v. and radio channels. voice. the raw then you will first say they were

journalists of the public radio and. the media was introduced they had one minute silence in the national radio. suspended and then the one of them left the radio. in fact he was the other one was fired hundreds of others have started the same fate with the wave of layoffs across the industry. the situation in the media here and want to keep their jobs and. line. the shakeups a good thing and. a very inflated public media sector has been long. this is not only talking.

very politicized about politics than about professional commerce. something is unsustainable you have to cut costs that the day has been strongly contest and many talented journalists have found themselves out of the job first before. it's not just. the fire of. some other. recent firings and uncertainty about the implications of a new law just some of the recent events salute causing serious concern about hungary's democratic future. government needs an independent media so if this government thinks that. it can. influence can regulate. very.

very bad ground but heavy criticism from both within the country and internationally the government is sticking by the new media laws the changes they could bring could be set to radically transform the face of hungary's media. a bit about. our website. dot com for more news updates and latest videos here's what's online today for we've been properly directed more watchful eye of troublemaking thing new york police former units and monitors social networks of people ought to know. and also online. in this day and eleven years ago rational forced one of its worth naval tragedies the nuclear submarine and the ct scan sunk to the bottom of the barents sea becoming a tomb for one hundred eighteen people on board. a

recap of our top stories just ahead and much more of course but first a look at a business update with merida. hello and welcome to visit us here on our t.v. now for european nations have banned short selling on banking stocks france. and belgium are boycotting traders bets so allow them to profit from falls in the share prices of financial stocks well the move follows high volatility in banking stocks on theories about their exposure to the euro zone government that it's the european market regulator says a temporary ban will help stop the tailspin on the markets but the bank could also put all their even members in so trying to position as investors with negative views on banks might shift to these countries. it has been

a week of exceptional volatility on the world's financial markets and here also there have been gains and losses greater than five percent there trying though has been down that sentiment fearful bordering on panic roland last from vern the tappets also stop under such circumstances it's impossible to predict what might happen on the page at all basis but the outlook as particularly poor i think at the moment trying to work out what's happening on a daily basis is virtually impossible it's it's trading on fear is trading on government decisions i mean it's a very poor traditionally trying to work out what the government is likely to be able to do so you know trying to work out whether today is going to be a two or three percentage points right five percent decline that's that's that's an extremely difficult judgment call to be able to make for any kind of. buckets of investor volumes are actually pretty high at the moment when you see

a lot of volatility and high volumes that often tells you the direction which the market is moving is likely to continue so that's that's actually pretty bad news that it was so you would see lower volumes at a time when the market is coming down sharply i think what we're looking for is some kind of decisive answer to particularly what's happening in europe and you know realistically that at the moment is going to be a big move towards fiscal union and unfortunately european governments which is nowhere close to that right now so what should the investor do go outside first and casserole traditional safe havens i thought was interesting that quote is to buy as a lot more from taiwan capital markets come on steering clear of companies exposed to the global economy. i know obviously i think what we see is that markets generally go out of risky assets and they're trying to find some kind of safe heaven. obviously if you financial financial titans these three are very very volatile so anything that is in your heart is there exposed to the global economy

to the banking sector they should probably be avoiding these things. let's take a look at the markets now or oil prices are down with many theory market volatility will slow down economic recovery crude prices drop as low as seventy five dollars and climbed us high as eighty six dollars per barrel this week which added some jitters in the markets. let's take a look at some commodities now precious metals are gay then just the not much gold this passion of wrath after breaking a new record on thursday and is now paused in a moderate gain all points one one percent silver is all soft it's trading at around thirty nine dollars this hour. and across asia all stocks are trading next this hour home calling stocks are climbing encouraged by positive jobs data from the u.s. but the neck a is trading in the red following a report that overseas orders for japanese machinery fell six percent in june i
