in the movie the joint below to the home of the that's the case we go to the grand imperial truly to tell us the coromandel. socialist good to see don't need to go and. read this in the kernel was hotel as a retreat. slamming of the social media but society feeling aside like david cameron calls for a ban on twitter and facebook locals in the violent struggle streets put faith in their own strength. strips all the immunity former u.s. defense secretary donald rumsfeld could find himself in the gulf after two iraq war veterans are given the green light to sue him for alleged fraud. and the media call in hungary as the government keeps a firm grip on the press of a controversial law that sees hundreds of journalists inside.

a very warm welcome to you this is on the line from moscow where it's not just stuff t.p.o. on robbery sushi the british prime ministers are blaming gangs blackberry phones and even social networks for inciting the violence in the country david cameron's also said parts of society are sick of locals in the affected areas say they've been neglected by the government and he has with a sense of insecurity growing on the streets people are now forced to take matters into their own hands. reports from. if a good result contrary 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 ordinary people out to protect their communities a lot of people are here to help there obviously are some people that it going to do the opposite effects but they're going to get everywhere very much started checking all stories of what young children are what the children on the street follow beside me if there's not 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 or root cause any trouble we just want to make sure that no one comes in and start smashing the shops up in the roads 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 without one to violence and causing distress to each other which then takes it on.

causing the 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 but it would be all that. maybe this is what david cameron means when he talks constantly about the big society handing power and responsibility park to local communities and i think the scenes we all saw our television screens last night of communities coming together in. to try and stop the 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 rams there with a car the tragedy ignited anger in the asian community. attracts all

thoughts and more and 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 proves that communities still feel police are unable to protect them and with budget cuts the 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 and it's our duty london. london based political activist chris knight says the restricting social media is not where downing street should begin to stem the threat of further words. this government is closing down through swimming pools and shutting youth centers and it's vandalizing the economy the rule of law can't be enforced if it's one more 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 panthers 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 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 if absolutely not the issue here serious inequality in it the issue is is is that the i mean what kind of society are we that drives eleven year olds fourteen year old kids to that's. mental state to you know to burn a local store that that we need action we need we need action not weasel politicians words. without seeing and plenty more stories ahead for you this hour we report a little bit later on the powerful advertising methods the pentagon is using to

make war look pretty. fifty eight percent of the military for what it was i don't think anyone would enjoy. hollywood and the video games helped to shape a superhero image of american soldiers to lure the youth in to be on these clutch. a u.s. court has ruled two americans who work for a private security firm can sue donald rumsfeld for illegal imprisonment and torture if proven guilty it would mean the former defense secretary would be held personally accountable while in iraq in two thousand and six let's zoom in a blew the whistle on their employer for alleged criminal activity but the u.s. military responded by placing them in prison where they claim they were tortured for weeks after being released without charge or you filed a lawsuit against rumsfeld for the motion had been rejected by prosecutors until now now and he was going to stop right back it says 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 were 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 that 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. so still spending huge amounts of dollars to convince young americans to sign up for the ony its close ties with hollywood and the video games industry is hoping to turn a military service into want to try to deal of course along with the economic crisis and unemployment working alongside. reports on how it's all playing out for america's. a hunch for american humor. to part down the next american enemy war incorporated a robust business machine is operating at full capacity in the u.s. the strength. from televised ads to hollywood blockbusters. to video games to american presidents dubbing soldiers the real patriots each of them adds honor to what it means to be

a soldier sailor airman marine and costars the image of the american in your ears is portrayed as that of the invisible hero times where one of the number one interest payments spots in the big apple are trucks millions from around the world and across the u.s. apart from the flashing lights have the billboards there's a recruitment center right here one of hundreds just in new york the mesmerizing taken weeks during young americans in conserving are more sophisticated than ever before sponsoring video game tournaments keep the tournaments up and going up to these young kids to perform well and see if u.s. military needs you see your skills at this video game of course you know fifteen or sixteen or seventeen year olds 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 as 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 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 puts up. these streets. there are limits to us it is after him to meet the problem is a lot of these kids don't know once they get in it's hard to get out the first time to reach out 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. also comes in handy for the pentagon there's a joke in the military that the best recorder is an economic downturn and that

recruiter is raging on what happened here for two thousand and eight that solve their problem was the desperation of millions of americans we had an economic crisis we've had unemployment zoom up no matter the times the power of the pentagon seems eternal meaning during you more young americans into more wars with no happy end were given for insight and. new york. just now eleven minutes past the hour here in moscow with r.t.r. still ahead for you on the program. the media the government in hungary tighten the noose around the country presses crushing criticism of britain. after days of concern over whether france would retain its aaa credit score ratings giants reaffirmed the country's top billing on that wednesday french bank society in general has been the worst affected by 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 max keiser believes the banking system won't pull through the current crisis. the french banks are loaded with toxic derivatives that were sold to them by american investment banks and the american investment banks plus the rating agencies plus the hedge funds are now attacking these french banks they know where the bodies are buried and they're using the weapons that they sold them to attack them and you know going back to the s. and p. downgraded just before the s. and p. downgrade of u.s. debt i told you point blank with certainty that the rating would be downgraded now i'm telling you that the rating will be downgraded again because this is part of a new era on wall street where they go after sovereign debt and the hedge funds and the rating agencies and wall street banks work together now to destabilize the sovereign debt of these countries because remember the hedge funds wall street

working with the rating agencies are bigger than any of these countries deciding to enter outland b.n.p. and credit agricole are insolvent their balance sheets are six to ten times bigger in terms of the death that they carry than they could possibly service but it's carried on the shadow banking system they don't report this debt but the insiders around the world who wield the weapons of mass financial destruction very taxing them to force these on realize that on their balance sheet to force these companies into delinquency into foreclosure because they are going to rate again billions of dollars attacking these banks these banks are insolvent society generali it is an insolvent institution so is b m p they they can't possibly meet they're there to credit demands absolutely not. after a week of turmoil on the european financial markets france italy spain and the belgian decided to ban short selling on the shares of banks and other financial companies a short selling is when traders profit from betting on falls in the share prices it

is being blamed for increasing the recent market instability let's get some more expert analysis on the situation in europe with a yarn a hard you know not from the european school of management and technology good to see you thank you for joining us today and do you think the new short selling ban will do much to restore market order and confidence in europe or is it possibly a sign of fear that we're on the verge of a financial armageddon. yeah i think it's probably more of the last i think it shows that the officials are very nervous at the moment and they try to. break this down what's peril that the banks have been into leslie my fear is that we. see some short term improvement in the share prices but the fundamentals are. seen rather gloomy in the markets i think overall we will see a continued downward trend so overall i think these measures will not have a long lasting effect so these measures are not going to be effective on the short

term possibly effective but of course it's all about the long term the end game and i knew what your forecast and. its aims of the eurozone debt crisis is your sweeping all e.u. countries one by one france is in its sights is that the next one to fall. well if you look at the fundamentals i think france is quite different from from the other countries but nevertheless france also has a debt problem the overall debt level is very high and now that the u.s. government debt has been downgraded here's obvious fear of who will be next in the game and we've seen the problems with spain in italy recently and i think it's quite natural that the markets at this stage are concerned about france as well so i think that the french government is under some strong pressure to act but it's not i would not say the situation is as dramatic as it is or has been for example with greece and ireland and portugal as you say the high debt levels it's a possible will eventually see

a downgrade of france's credit rating in the near future. well i think if france implements the measures that it has indicated for the budget to be reduced along with the period i would say france credit rating would be rather stable and that is what the rating agencies have said but requires some political will to implement these changes and i think that is the big if so if france is able to convince the market that it will implement these tough measures then i think we could see some stabilization in the markets as we've been seeing for months now some form of an economic tsunami just washing over the eurozone and being with us for a decade but maybe it would have been a better choice to stick to national currencies and prevented all of us buying. well i see what we i think what we now see is the results from this kind of fraud implementation of the euro the idea was that the introduction of the euro would.

lead to a political union and we haven't seen this kind of economic union that would be required for a single european currency instead we've we've seen continued national. economic policies especially in the south with a lot of spending and the results that we're now see is that this kind of policy is not sustainable so if europe takes a lesson from this and starts closer economic cooperation then the economic the single currency makes sense but if it does not then we will see more trouble ahead and i germany and france as leaders have also and also they're going to meet next week through solutions to europe's financial difficulties is there a way out of the economic downfall for europe do you think what's what's what's the solution here well i think the solution is definitely not concentrating on short term to quiddity measures like the european rescue fund i think it's much more

important to concentrate on fracture reforms and that means bringing down debt levels to a sustainable level and so far we have not seen this what we've seen is this kind of hectic crisis management and this. communication the communication from the european central bank which basically says that everything is under control where all of that you see is kind of panic management and i think what is really required to stabilize the situation is the focus on structural reform i think this is what we have to do in the in the near future and i think what you say about what structural reform is absolutely key here you talk about cutting management and and hectic crisis management but at the end of the day will these bailouts is this simply just the banks paying off the banks lining up markets. well i think part of these rescue minute measures have been taken to to rescue the banking system. especially with the banks in southern europe

and i think this needs to be addressed but overall we also have this kind of political situation which has been very lenient for governments to increase dead levels to avoid bringing tough measures to their constituencies and i think this is something that has to end markets have indicated that they are not willing anymore to finance these large debt levels and bed requires some tough measures from government social welfare systems have to be redesigned or it just said and it's certainly not easy but that is what is required i would say from the european school of management and technology thank you. six gunman including a terrorist cell leader has been killed in russia's southern republic of dagestan in a two day terrible russian that's according to the national and see terrorism committee and. 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
