young men chased down the road after police ready to drive 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 here to help there obviously are some people that i can to do the opposite effect but they're going to get every weapon much sight it's taking our stories of four young children out of the children on the streets for the recycling if there's no not police them will help them and just give everyone a wage the cost to the shops and just push them away this way we don't want to go off to anyone all root cause any trouble we just want to make sure that no one comes in. shops up in the road and it's not just in enfield in other parts of town sikhs have banded together to protect their livelihoods and

until now. that if that's the case opens the floodgates to other officials being held to account for war crimes. 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 or 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 fairly euphemistically disguising torture which is illegal then that means all of these people could be in the dark if you try to hold pentagon officials in this case the head of the pentagon donald rumsfeld accountable for tour 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 account. that

cared to make being in the military as cool as possible and now cinematographer edward pages dedicated ten years to being a us soldier he thought it was the honorable thing to do if they presented the military for what it was that i think anyone would join in but they do join having played one computer game and seen one war movie too many there's no second chances in real life you can you can resell a game you can restart a movie there's no second chance when you're actually out there and 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 the military. speaking world better off limits 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 the way 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 on a me at home also comes in handy for the pentagon there's a joke in the military that the best recruiting is an economic downturn and that recruiter is raging on what happened there for two thousand and eight that solve their problem was the desperation of millions of americans we had an economic crisis we've had on employment up no matter the times the power of the pentagon seems eternal american leaders do not become presence by challenging american national security comment on their security state nor the military industrial complex they just don't do it well meaning during in more young americans into more

two sides have been deadlocked by the construction of jewish names in the west bank and as analysts baskins hold r.t. the latest developments is yet another step away from a compromise. 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 has blocked a return to negotiations is the continued settlement building by the government of israel this is not going to help the situation. that the government of israel feels pretty immune to any criticism around the world 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 there isn't just be another is really building more settlements within neighborhoods of used to resign without anyone really blinking and it's not going

to help the situation it's not going to hurt it watch more than it's already hurting. our government in our careers adopted a controversial new media control law it was the hundreds of journalists laid off for the freedom of the press a very detailed as artists our first reports despite fierce opposition and many have been forced into silence over fears that their job security. can. at least not about the hunger government's opinions of hungary's new media law claim that their journalists are being silenced. it's about hiding things and hiding that source and that's covering. too for to draw the line of the government that's there's there's there's there's the whole message of this. covering broadcast print and online content the controversial new law also established any media authority that these working for the media regulate all

chosen by the ruling party and were loyal supporters this being selective public service with press. in this completely controlled by the government there had been some major layoffs and they put. people loyal to the government into people's insurance i think public t.v. and media channels journalists he voiced criticism felt the wrath of been you all three say they were journalists of the public radio and. the media was introduced they had one minute silence in the national radio. right there a suspended. one of them left their radio. in fact he was. the one who was fired hundreds of others have suffered the same fate with the wave of layoffs across the industry. and the situation in the media

here wants to keep their jobs and now. out of line some argue the shakeups a good thing and that they are still hungry is a very inflated public media sector has been long. been talking about the people that is unsustainable. so i think. this debate has become. very politicized. politics and about professional commerce. is something. you have to cut costs that the day has been strongly contested and many talented journalists have found themselves out of the job. is not just. with.

the recent firings and uncertainty about the implications of the new law just some of the recent events to do causing serious concern about hungary's democratic future everything market government needs an independent media so this government thinks. it can oversee the whole media. influence that can regulate media. very. on the very ground despite heavy criticism from both within the country and internationally the government is sticking by the new media laws the changes they could bring to the states are radically transformed based hungary's media. r.t. if. you can of course. size dot com for more news all day and the latest videos his was online today big brother is directing the move watch for live travel

by four european nations france italy spain and belgium are boycotting traders sprats which allow them to profit from falls in the share price of financial stocks now the move follows high volatility in banking stocks on fears about their exposure to see euro zone governing that the european market regulator says the temporary ban will help stop the tailspin on the markets but the van could also put other e.u. members into a tricky position as investors with negative news on banks might shift their bets to these countries. it has been a week of exceptional volatility on the world's financial markets and here in russia there have been gains and losses greater than five percent the trend though has been down then sentiment fearful bordering on panic at times but overall an ashram vernal capital says that under such circumstances it's impossible to predict what might happen on a day to day basis but the outlook is 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 it's trading on government decisions i mean it's a very poor traditionally trying to work out what a government is likely to be able to do so you know trying to work out where the day is going to be a two or three percentage points balance or a five percent decline. that's an extremely difficult judgment call to be able to make for any kind of. long term 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 in which the market is moving is likely to continue so that's that's actually pretty bad news that it was it was in large volumes but it's 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 you know unfortunately european governments which is

nowhere close to that right now. so it was invested in gold treasures and cash also there's no safe havens and for those of us insisting that supply is spot there from dialogue capital markets recommends steering clear of companies exposed to the global economy. well right now 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 i think financial financial titles these things are very very volatile so anything that is a new title for their exposure to the global economy and to the banking sector they should probably be avoided if there is. let's take a look at the markets now oil prices are down with many fearing market lots of it it will slow down economic recovery crude prices dropped as low as seventy five dollars and climbing to sayas eighty six dollars per barrel just this week which had some jitters in the market now let's take
