a very warm welcome to this is our scene live from moscow the british prime minister is blaming gangs blackberry phones and even social networks for inciting 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 and with a sense of insecurity growing on the streets people are now forced to take matters into their own hands as lor i met reports from london. a good bazaar 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 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 not enough police then move them and just give everyone the 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. 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 with out on to violence and causing distress to trouble which then makes it ok for the causing further violence in the streets. this is the current face to face. munity is 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 if the police if the police were hitting all that would have 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 a vigilante band attracts all sorts and more than tellers he doesn't just rear its head in looters business huge number of police officers on the streets of england at the moment which many find reassuring but groups like the enfield army prove

that communities still feel police are unable to protect them with budget cuts for front line officers still on the table is on the beat could get fewer and further between while local vigilante groups could take up the slack your emmet r.t. . or london based political activist 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 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 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 we need action we need we need action not weasel politicians words . plenty more stories ahead including we report on the powerful appetising methods the pentagon's easy to make war look pretty. good they presented the military for what it was i don't think anyone would join in hollywood in video games helps shape

a superhero image of american soldiers to get into the army. a u.s. court has ruled two american seaward for a private security firm can sue donald rumsfeld for illegal and president and torture if proven guilty which means the former defense secretary would be held personally accountable while in iraq in two thousand and six thirteen men blew the whistle on their employer for alleged screw with a lot of sympathy but the u.s. minutes you. bonded by placing them in prison where they claim they were tortured but after being released without charge they filed a lawsuit against rumsfeld but the motion rejected by prosecutors until now and you were active in linebacker says the case aprons 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 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 in their effort to carry out war it's partly demagogy but true 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 young americans to sign up for the army its close ties with hollywood and the video games industries helping to ten minutes into an attractive deal with economic crisis and unemployment alongside. the patients and i reports now on how it's all playing out for america's youth. one hundred four american youth. to hunt down the next american anime 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 adds on earth 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 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 video game tournaments and people tournaments and then going up to these young kids to perform well and say hey 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 and deceptive type of recruitment they want to use all the hippest tools they can to make being in the military has cool is possible now 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 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 dominate. the world that are currently 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. for some the way out is suicide a military report says eighty percent of soldiers in afghanistan have seen a friend killed or injured yet nothing stops the military propaganda campaign a direct a hole 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 up no matter the times the power of the pentagon seems eternal meaning bringing in more young americans into more wars with no happy end or game over in sight and. new york. still ahead for you this hour gagging the new media the government in hungary tightening the noose around the country's press crushing criticism out the room. after days of concern they were whether france would retain its aaa credit score ratings giants three of the country's top billing on wednesday friendship banks those two thousand dollars been the worst affected by the volatility being forced to deny that its financial stability was at risk but investors remain unconvinced the country's finances are on solid foundations financial analyst kaiser but he's the french banking system would pull through the current crisis the french banks

amount of steel that the world produces every day so gold has a rarity value and people see it is holding its value in times of financial. market volatility they see it as a relatively stable and safe investment. and because of the such short supply when demand explodes for those commodity of course the price starts to skyrocket is being seen in recent. six gunmen including a terrorist cell leader have been killed in russia southern republican douglas style in a two day anti terror operation that's according to the national antiterrorism committee. media live it was believed to be the mastermind of several terrorist attacks across the country and was on the most wanted list he's also thought to have helped train a suicide bomber who blew himself up in

issue everyone is busy with the 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. 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. the government has adopted a controversial new media control law it will see hundreds of journalists. the freedom of the press a very good tale but as our sisera furthur reports despite fierce opposition many have been forced into silence over fears of their job security. evils evil speak no evil at least not if it's about the hungary and government a pain in the media law claim their journalists being silence.

it's about hiding things and hiding that source and not covering controversies she was. too full to draw the line of the government that's there's there's there's there's the whole message of this of this law covering broadcast print and online content the controversial new law also established any media authority that is working for the media regulator all chosen by the ruling party and will. oil support is being selective public service broadcasting is completely controlled by the government there have been some major layoffs and they put. people loyal to the government into him to keep positions that public public t.v. and media channels journalists he voiced criticisms have felt the wrath of then you will third say they were journalists of the public radio and. the media

was introduced they have one minute silence in the national radio. right there is suspended and then one of them that their 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 he says contributed to an uneasy situation in the media here who want to keep their jobs and now. out of line so murky the shakeups a good thing and that the layoffs in hungary's reinflated public media sector have 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 comus. 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 on the basis. of the system the recent firings and uncertainty about the implications of the new law just some of the recent events to look cool zing serious concern about hungary's democratic future everything more critic government needs an independent media so 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 set to radically transform the face of hungary's media serve a bit of power. you can always do that are we. scientology dot com for more news day v.a. here's one for the longing today big brother directing the watchful eye of troublemakers in new york is a nice former unit to monitor social networks of people to no good it's also online . on this day eleven years ago a rash faced one of its was unable tragedies of the nucleus supper in the poor sod to the bottom of the barents sea becoming a to all one hundred eighteen people on board.

coming up next here on the news is business deals with marina. hello and welcome to business here on art see the russian markets are up now after wall street posted gains of more than four percent overnight in general has been the most volatile trading week since september two thousand and eight roll on that in a capital says that under such circumstances it's impossible to predict what might happen on the day to day basis but the outlook is still 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 bias or

a five percent decline that starts 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 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. and the efforts to stabilize the markets for european nations have banned short selling on banks' friends it's a spain and belgium or perhaps it's in 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 debt but the bad

could also put all their members and so a tricky position as investors with negative views on banks might shift their bets to these countries. so watch that the investor doing these troubled times goal of treasuries and cash are all traditional safe havens as for those wishing to stay that quote exists a bias plot there from di want to 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 trying to find some kind of safe haven. 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. on the second look at the markets we start with what's happened in the year every russia both markets are seeing

a lot of volatility right now the arts yes is up point seven percent of all my sex is up twenty four percent let's take a snapshot all the market movers on the my sex energy majors are end up black are all snuffed is adding almost three percent and lukoil almost one percent banking stocks are also the better haven't been the worst performance sectors are in the current market turmoil. in european markets fell immediately after the open but have since been climbing however the latest french economic growth figures are a 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 just well actually the growing more the foot suzanne point nine percent of all of that says up over one and a half percent this hour the second look at what's happening with the oil prices they are down with many fear a 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 this much in its breath after a break in the new record on thursday it's losing point one percent of all silver is losing the same. and that's how business looks the sour the headlines are next without us.
