a very warm welcome to this is our t.v. live from moscow our top story now the british prime minister is blaming gangs blandly phones and even social networks for inciting the violence in 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 while with a sense of insecurity growing on the streets people are now forced to take matters into their own hands as their average reports from london. if a good result could sure use 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. despite the mob atmosphere a large crowd of young men are out for justice there's been no trouble so far most
3:02 am
are ordinary people out to protect their communities a lot of people are here to help there obviously are some people that i can to day the opposite effect they're going to get everywhere very much started taking our stories up with 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 which is one of my sure that no one comes in specially in the shops open. 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 one to violence and force and distrust each other which then takes it over causing the violence in the streets. this is the current face of
3:03 am
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 were hit if in 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 model of 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 the car the tragedy ignited anger in the asian community a vigilante attract all sorts and. doesn't just rear its head in looters visit huge number of police officers on the streets of england at the moment which
3:04 am
many find reassuring for groups like the enfield army proved that communities still feel police are unable to protect them with budget cuts for front line officers still on the table on the beach could get fewer and further between while the local vigilante group could take up the slack your emmett's r.t. . the london based political. 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 and 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 for everyone we have to start with the most powerful criminals and what we've seen recently is politicians on the take chief of police constables on the take. we've we've seen the bankers on the take and these people have to be dealt
3:05 am
with and when it comes to the question of violence what i would say is this legitimate law 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 s.u.v. is serious 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. 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. people stories that few this hour later we report a lot but i think beth that it's easy to make her see. that it was under the military for what it was i don't think anyone would join it. probably would have

videogames helped shape it superhero image of american soldier is. that sex can't be you into the elevator. a u.s. a court has ruled two americans for a private security can see. legal imprisonment and torture if proven guilty would mean the former defense secretary would be held accountable while in iraq in two thousand and think that the men do the with that on their employer for and that's criminal activity but the u.s. military responded by placing them in prison when they claim they were tortured for weeks when after being released without charge and following little think again it's probably the most should have yet to buy prosecution is until now it's gone back as is the case they gave to other missiles being held to account for. what we have to recognize is that by stripping rumsfeld of immunity for the acts of
3:07 am
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 friendly 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 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. if anyone holds them accountable that will be quote shackling their effort to carry out war it's partly. true of the nature of the argument it also reveals that they in fact institutionalized torture otherwise they would not be afraid of the allegation against it or the pentagon still spending

3:10 am
for what it was i don't think anyone would join 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 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. if reasons are realized the military. world better. let me rest 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 some 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 group and recruiting people glorifying
3:11 am
war glorifying the killing of people whether it's necessary or not a direct haul also comes in handy for the pentagon there's a joke in the military that the best recruiter is an economic downturn and that recruiter is raging on what happened after 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 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 c. security 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 insight just as you are to new york. or radio david sirota says the cake is a relationship hollywood enjoys of the pentagon has drastically changed the way
3:12 am
americans see u.s. military seven. the pentagon and the larger u.s. national security apparatus grants and denies access to tools military hardware military both military planes military information based on whether a filmmaker is prepared to make a pro-war pro 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 by people who want to mimic the pentagon's precise life that's a different story than the pentagon simply promoting it so this is why for every one 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 controversy a couple years ago when the associated press published one single photo of
3:13 am
a soldier who had been injured on the battlefield this was cause for outrage when in fact it should have been caused for us to rethink what we are actually doing in these forces 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 glad for you this hour i gag aying at the media the government accountability time means there around the country is the press constant criticism at that point it's. another day to day it's a rather of concern over whether friends would retain its a aaa credit score ratings jains reify the country's top pentagon bunz day french of banks was the been the worst affected by the baldness in the sea being forced to deny that its financial stability was at risk but investors remain unconvinced the company's finances on solid foundations financial and this month's kinds of unease the french banking system won't pull through the current crisis. the french banks

3:19 am
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 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 a global financial crisis the united states as well those involved there are 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 just be another is really active building more settlements within neighborhoods of east 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 . the government and angry said dr the controversial new media control law it will see hundreds of journalists laid off from the freedom of the press so very cattail
3:20 am
but as our reports despite fierce opposition many have been forced into finance fears for their job security. evil see no evil speak no evil at least not about the hung garion government opinions of hungary's new media low claim journalists being silenced. it's about hiding things and hiding the truth and not covering controversy or issues. of the government and that's the whole message of this of this law covering broadcast print and online content the controversial new law also established a new media of thirty days working for the media regulator. and by the ruling party and were loyal supporters being selected public service broadcasting is completely controlled by the government there had been some measure of the office

3:22 am
a very inflated public media sector has been long. this government has not only talking and been talking about but they have laid the people off because they saw that it is unsustainable. so i think. this debate has become. 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. and secondly if people. wanted to talk. to the. recent firings and uncertainty about the implications of the new law or just some of the recent events to look cool seeing serious concerns about hungary's democratic. everything more critic government needs an independent media so
3:23 am
if this government thinks that it can oversee the whole media it can influence the whole mediate can regulate the media it's a 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 start to radically transform the face of the congress media serve a bit of past. for more new. video games online today big brother who directs you no more watchful eye a trouble maker the new rules of the police force we commuted to monitor the social networks of people. the online. news day eleven years ago a strong lobby to enable tragedy. read the quote of signs of the.

coming year to you all one hundred eighteen people. i'll be about with a recap of our top story shortly but first let's cross over to the business death to get the latest from marina. hello and welcome to business here on arts now we start this hour with the russian markets which are trading flat to negative this spiked wall street posting gains of more than four percent overnight now the last five days have become the most volatile trading week since september two thousand and eight roland nash from the capital says that under such circumstances it's impossible to predict what might
3:25 am
happen on the 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 what you were three percentage points or a five percent decline. that's an extremely difficult judgment call to be able to 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 pretty large 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
3:26 am
a big move towards fiscal union and unfortunately european governments are just nowhere close to that right now. well in the efforts to stabilize the markets for european nations have banned short selling on banks france italy spain and belgium are prohibited bets which allow investors to profit from falls in the price of financial stocks the move follows high volatility in the sector amid fears about their exposure to euro zone government debts but the bad could also put other in your members and so try to position as investors with negative views on banks might shift their bets to these countries. so watch for the investors in these troubled times gold treasuries and cash are all traditional safe havens and for those wishing to stay in equities so biased there from dial up capital markets recommend 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
3:27 am
trying to find some kind of safe heaven. obviously if you financial financial titles these things are very very volatile so anything that is a new titles that are exposed to the global economy to the banking sector they should probably be avoided these things. and let's take a look at the markets will start with what's happening here and rush out of both the markets are now open and we're seeing a lot of all that's in it see the r.t.s. is down over a half a percent and then my sex is approach and half a percent as well yes the snapshot of the market movers on the my sex energy majors are swearing in between gains and losses that going all fall market volatility both banking stocks are under strong selling pressure. and across asia stocks are trading mixed this hour stocks in hong kong are climbing encouraged by positive jobs they fell from the last to make a is traded in the red following every port that overseas orders for japanese
