welcome to you this is r.t. live from moscow the british prime minister is blaming gangs of blank range phones and even social networks for inciting the violence of the country david cameron's also said parts of society are sick but locals in the affected areas say they've been neglected by the government for years but with a sense of insecurity growing on the streets people are now forced to take matters into their own hands as laura emmett 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 chased down the road after police ready to drive troublemakers out of town but. despite the mob atmosphere a large crowd of young men are out for justice there's been no trouble so far most are ordinary people out to protect their communities
1:02 am
a lot of people are here to help there obviously are some people that it's going to do the opposite effect they're going to get that everywhere very much start it's taking our stories of what young children not i will but children on the streets for the decide 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 one of my sure that no one comes in. shops up in the road and it's not just in enfield in other parts of town seeks have banded together to protect their livelihoods and property sons and daughters come together with us and say let's solve the problems with out on to violence and causing distress to target which then takes it. causing further violence in the streets. this is the current faced of communities across england many of which felt under siege. from looters and said in their
1:03 am
darkest hour the police were nowhere to be seen police have not been anywhere where if the police if the police were hit 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 them with a car the tragedy ignited anger in the asian community a vigilante band attracts all sorts and more than tellers he doesn't just rear its head in looters position huge number of police officers on the streets of england at the moment which many find reassuring but groups like the enfield army proves
1:04 am
that communities still feel police are unable to protect them and with budget cuts for front line officers still on the table bobbies on the beat could get fewer and further between while the local vigilante group could take up the slack your emmet r.t. . when london was chris nine says restricting social media is not where downing street should begin if it wants to stem the threat of further riots. this government is closing down throwing but swimming pools is shutting youth centers and it's valid allies in the economy the rule of law can't be enforced if it's one law for the rich and one for the poor the rule of law means the same law for everyone we have to start with the most powerful criminals and what we've seen recently is politicians on the take chief police constables on the take. we've we've seen the bankers on the take and these people have to be dealt with and when it comes to the question of violence what i would say is this legitimate law
1:05 am
enforcement does require a certain amount of coercion let's have it 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 really it's absolutely not the issue the issue is inequality in it the issue is is is the 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's we need action we need we need action not weasel politicians words. plenty more stories ahead. we report on the powerful advertising methods the pennsic and the blood seemed to make all of her see. that it was either the military for what it was i don't think anyone would join the. hollywood computer games are all part of the paddock and costly advertising business. a us court has ruled two americans he worked

for a private security firm to donald rumsfeld legal imprisonment and torture if proven guilty it would mean the former defense secretary would be held possibly accountable while in iraq in two thousand and six the g. men blew the west on their employer for alleged criminal life but the u.s. military responded by placing them in prison where they claimed they were tortured for weeks after being released without charge they fall a little suit against rumsfeld but the motion have been rejected by prosecutors until now. that 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 the door not only for rumsfeld but for dick cheney for bush for all of those
1:07 am
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 to is engaging in illegal acts and that if anyone holds them account. 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. well the pentagon still spending huge amounts of dollars to make war nuke like lucrative career and convince young americans to sign up it's case time with hollywood and

1:10 am
life you can you can reset 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. military. world that 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 the way out is suicide a military report says eighty percent of soldiers in afghanistan have seen a friend killed or injured the guru of war quickly replacing its promised glory yet nothing stops the military propaganda campaign now we are 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 a direct haul also comes in handy for the pentagon there's
1:11 am
a joke in the military that the best recorder 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 on employment zoom up no matter the times the power of the pentagon seems eternal american leaders do not become presidents by challenging american national security comment on their sixty curity state nor the military industrial complex they just don't do it meaning luring in more young americans into more wars with no happy end or game over in sight and our new york. radio haze david sirota says the pay was the relationship hollywood enjoys with the pentagon has drastically changed the way americans see us going to south. the pentagon and the larger u.s. national security apparatus grants and denies access to will you let terry hardware

military both military planes military information based on whether a filmmaker is prepared to make a pro-war head to go on a pro-government movie or an iraqi 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 by people who watch it mimic the pentagon's precise life that's a different story than the pentagon simply promoting it so this is why for every one if you war or pentagon critical movie that is ultimately made you have dozens of blockbusters that glorify were telling him questions about american military there was a big project. a couple years ago when the associated press and 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 him

very politicized it's more about politics than about professional commerce. if something is unsustainable 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 transparent. to the. recent firings and uncertainty about the implications of the new law just some of the recent events to look cool zing serious concerns about hungary's democratic future everything looked at the government needs an independent media so if this government thinks that it can oversee the whole media it can influence the
1:23 am
whole mediate can regulate the media it's very. very bad ground despite heavy criticism from both within the country and internationally the government is sticking by the new media laws and the changes they could bring could be said to radically transform the face of hungry is media so it's a bit of past he can of course. fidelity dot com for more news all day and the latest videos here's what's online today big brother's directing a move watch troublemaker in new york the police from a unit to monitor social networks of people up their goods also online. on this day and i've been very. one of its once naval tragedies the nuclear submarine. found the bottom of the pouncey becoming a teen one hundred eighteen people on board.

members into a trip to 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 so the trend though has been down then sentiment fearful bordering on panic at times well overall and mash from vernal tappets all 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 is trading on government decisions i mean markets are very poor traditionally trying to work out what a 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 or a five percent decline. that's an extremely difficult judgment call to be able to
1:26 am
make for any kind of. longer 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 move markets moving is likely to continue so that's that's actually pretty bad news that there was a we're seeing a lot of 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 are just nowhere close to that right now. so walt said the investor do go all treasures and cash are all traditional safe havens and for those wishing to stay in equities via spot there from dialogue capital markets recommends steering clear of companies exposed to the global economy. well right no obviously i think what we see is that markets generally go out of risky assets and they're trying to find some kind of
1:27 am
safe haven. obviously if you financial financial titles these things are very very volatile so anything that is new titles that are exposed to the global economy to the banking sector they should probably be avoided these days. and let's take a look at the markets now oil prices are down with many fearing market volatility will slow down economic recovery crude prices dropped as low as seventy five dollars and climbed this highest eighty six dollars per barrel just this week which had some jitters in the market now let's take a look at the precious metals they are mixed this hour of gold is actually its breath after a break in a new record on thursday and is now posting a moderate loss of twenty one percents silver is up just a notch it's trading at almost thirty nine dollars per ounce. and across asian stocks are trading mix this hour hong kong salts climbed encouraged by positive
