david cameron also said part of the big but locals in the affected areas say they've been the elected by the government. all with a sense of insecurity growing on the streets people are now forcing masses into their own hands as the emmet reports from london. thank goodness are 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. 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 a lot of people are here to help there obviously are some people that going to do the opposite effect they're going to get that everywhere very much started to take

in our streets are for young children not i will but children on the streets for the decide if there's not enough police then move 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 will make sure that no one comes in. the shops open in the roads 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 with out on through violence and causing distress to trouble which then takes it away. 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 were hit all that would have been. 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 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 a vigilante band attracts all sorts and more ben tell us he 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 proved that communities still feel police are unable to protect them and with budget cuts for front line officers still on the table bodies on the beat could get fewer and further between while the

local vigilante group could take up the slack your emmet r.t. . where london based with 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 through swimming pools and shutting youth centers and it's valuable and seeing 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 seen the bankers on the take these people have to be dealt 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 revolution 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 you know the issue is is is that i mean what kind of a society are we that drives a live neuro fourteen year old kids to that's. mental state to you know to burn the local store that that's we need action we do we need action not weasel politicians words. more stories ahead for you this hour including we report on the power of love allies in the pentagon easy to make wallet pretty. fifty percent of the military for what it was i don't think anyone would join in. hollywood in video games helps a superhero image of american soldiers to get the goon in the army. u.s. court has ruled two americans who are private security firm can see donald rumsfeld

for illegal imprisonment and torture it proven guilty would mean the former defense secretary would to be held personally accountable while in iraq in two thousand and six the two men knew that with of on their employer for alleged criminal activity the u.s. military responded by paying their prison they claim they would. weeks after being released without charge they filed a little thing against but none should have been rejected by prosecutors until now it's brian back if that's the case they put the officials being held to account for . 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 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 and that if anyone holds them accountable 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 it. well the pentagon still spending huge amounts of dollars to convince the young americans to sign up for the army its close ties with hollywood and the video games industry is helping turn miniatures service into an attractive deal with economic crisis and on the point of working alongside. each other in

a report the house all playing out for america's in. a hunt for american youth. to hunt down the next american enemy incorporated a robust business machine is operating at full capacity in the u.s. district judge. from televised ads to hollywood blockbusters. to video games to american presidents dubbing soldiers the real patriots each of them and. to what it means to be a soldier sailor airman marine and coast guardsman the image of the american warrior is portrayed as that of the invincible hero times where one of the number one entertainment spots in the big apple are trucks millions from around the world and across the u.s. apart from the flashing lights and the billboards there's a recruitment center right here one of hundreds just in new york the mesmerizing

techniques luring young americans into serving our more sophisticated than ever before sponsoring a video game tournaments people tournaments and then going up to these young kids to perform well and see the u.s. military needs to see your skills at this video game of course two hundred fifty or sixty year seventeen year old this is something that's very basic it's a cruel and deceptive. type of recruitment they want to use all the hippest tools they can to make being in the military has 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 presented 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 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 reasons are realized the military and. the world that are 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 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 groups on recruiting people glorifying war glorifying the killing of people whether it's necessary or not to die recommit hall 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 and there seems to cure any 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 and. new york. gagging at the media the government and great used around the country press constant criticism out there which. now after days of concern over whether france would retain its aaa credit score ratings giants reaffirmed the country's top billing on wednesday french bank. has been the worst affected by the volatility being forced to deny that its financial stability was at risk but investors remain

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 still 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 in hungry has adopted a controversial new media control law it will see on just a journalist's laid all the freedom of the press a very good tale but is asking is there a faster despite fierce opposition many have been forced into science of affairs for their job security. here in new evil see no evil speak no evil at least not if it's about the hunger area and government opinions of hungary's new media low claim they're journalists being silenced.

it's about hiding things and hiding the truth and not covering controversy or issues. of the government 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 authority that these working for the media regulate all cheese and by the ruling party and were loyal supporters before being selected public service broadcasting is completely controlled by the government there have been some major layoffs and the put. people loyal to the government into key positions that public public t.v. channels journalists he voice criticism have felt the wrath of the new authority they were journalists of the public. was introduced.

one minute silence in the national radio. suspended and one of them left the radio. in fact he was the other one was fired hundreds of others have suffered the same fate with a wave of layoffs across the industry this is contributed to an uneasy situation in the media here who want to keep their jobs. of line but some argue the shakeups a good thing and that the layoffs in hungary's a very inflated public media sector have been long. this government has not only talking and been talking about 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 trust. the people. to do. the recent firings and uncertainty about the implications of the new law or just some of the recent events to look cool zing serious concerns about hungary's democratic future everything more critic government needs an independent media so if this government thinks. it can oversee the whole media it can influence the 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 the changes they could bring could

i'll be back to recap our top story surely in the meantime marina is here with all the latest there. hello and welcome to business here on r.g.p. now we start with the russian markets which are in the black right now after a wall street posted dane's of more than four percent overnight the last five days have now become the most volatile trading week since september two thousand and eight roland nash from verna 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 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 and that's that's 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 market is moving is likely to continue so that's that's actually pretty bad news that there was a raise in 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 are just nowhere close to that right now. in an effort to stabilize the markets for european nations have banks 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 hive all that so that's in the sector amid fears

about their exposure to the euro zone government debts but the ban could also put all the e.u. members answer try to position as investors with negative views on banks might shift their bets to these countries. so what should these investors do in these troubled times gold treasuries and cash are all traditional safe havens and the full those wasn't sustained equities this tobias block now from dial-a tappets all markets recommend steering clear of companies exposed to the global economy. 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 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 to the banking sector they should probably be avoided these days. but let's take a look at what's happening in the markets will start with what's happened in the right here in russia are both markets are seen

a lot of volatility right now the arts yes as all three quarters of a percent on the my sex is gaining almost one percent and here's a snapshot all the market movers on the my sex energy majors are swinging between gains and losses echo in the overall market volatility but banking stocks are on their strongest selling pressure. european markets fell immediately after the open but have since been climbing however the latest french economic growth figures are cause for concern as they show the euro zone second biggest economy was stagnant in the second quarter both the footsie and the facts are all just a notch this hour. and across asia all stocks are trading mixed stocks in hong kong are climbing encouraged by positive jobs data from the u.s. but the nikkei is still trading in their ad following a report that overseas orders for japanese machinery fell six percent in june

analysts believe that japan's exports may not rebound enough to help the economy grow later this year. and oil prices are down with many fear in market volatility will slow down economic recovery crude prices dropped as low as seventy five dollars and climbed this high as eighty six dollars per barrel this week which added some jitters in the markets. and precious metals are in the red gold those hatchets brothers have to break in a new record on thursday it's. lose them point three percent of all silver is losing just a little bit less. and that's all the business news for now for more stories you can always add to our website r.t. that com slash business in the meantime states and for the headlines.

this is a cable from the u.s. embassy in colombo to talk about here it apparent june seventh incident of extrajudicial executions the military reported to the press that on that day that killed nine guerrillas and desiccation by instructs you including you know that and there are strongly suggest however that the nine were executed by the army and then dressed in military fatigues. explain how you know this kind of phenomenon where bodies are dressed up as

this is tedious slamming of the social media but society feeling sidelined as david cameron calls for a family of twitter and facebook locals in the violence drug streets put faith in the wrong strength to protect homes from what's been branded a sick society. stripped of immunity for u.s. defense secretary donald rumsfeld could find himself in the so-called off to war veterans are given the green line to sue him for the crimes they claim runs bills responsible for their arrest and torture by fellow service but without. a media collar the agree is the government gets a grip on the press with a controversial new law. that silenced broadcasting licenses that being revoked in use paper is fine.
