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 of 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 a 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. they've decided to clamp down on the media here it's really it's absolutely would not be as he would be a serious inequality in the a series is is that most of them i mean what kind of society are we that drive 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. with r.t. it's good to have a company today and plenty more stories that have you this hour with a bit later we report on the powerful advertising methods that the pentagon is using to make war look pretty. if they presented the military for what it was i don't think anyone would join. hollywood and the video games helped to shape the superhero image of american soldiers to lure the youth into the clutches of the. us court has ruled that two americans who work for a private security firm can sue donald rumsfeld for illegal imprisonment and torture if proven guilty it would mean that the former defense secretary would be held personally accountable while in iraq in two thousand and six the two men that blew the whistle on their employer for alleged criminal activity but the u.s. military responded by placing a prison where they claim they were tortured for weeks after being released without charge they filed a lawsuit against rumsfeld but the motion had been rejected by prosecutors until

now and he walked the rest of bryant 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 album unity for the acts of torture against american citizens this opens wide to do or 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 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 acts in the. if anyone holds them accountable that will be quote shackling their effort to carry out war it's partly demagogy by my word two 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 is still spending huge amounts of dollars to convince young americans to sign up for the army it's close ties with hollywood and the video games industry it's helping to military service into an attractive deal with the economic crisis and of course unemployment working alongside these honest. reports on how it's all playing out for america's. a hunch for american youth. took part down the next american and the war incorporated a robust business machine is operating at full capacity in the u.s. the strength. from televised ads to hollywood

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 in. the streets. world that are going to limit 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 yet nothing stops the military propaganda campaign

a direct condom it whole 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 here to 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 we were in need of more young americans into more wars with no happy end or game over insights and stacy churkin our new york. and i thought i have for you this hour here on r.t. gagging the media the government in hungary titans of the news around the country crushing criticism at the. after days of concern over whether france would retain its aaa credit score ratings the

giants of the country's top billing french society in general has been the worst affected by the volatility being forced to deny that its financial stability was at risk after a week of turmoil on the european financial markets france italy spain and belgium decided to ban short selling on the shares of banks and other financial companies by short selling its one trade as profit from betting on falls in share prices it has been blamed for increasing a recent market instability young hug and of the european school of management and technology believes that the short selling ban is only a short term solution. that shows that the officials are very nervous at the moment and they try to. break this stone was a barrel that the banks have been into leslie my fear is that if we see some short term improvement in the share prices but as the fundamentals are. seen rather gloomy in the markets overall i think these measures will not have

a long lasting effect the solution is definitely not concentrating on short term liquidity measures like the european rescue fund i think it's much more important to concentrate on structural reforms and that means bringing down debt levels to sustainable level and so far we have not seen this what we've seen is this kind of hectic crisis management and this. communication communication from the european central bank which basically says that everything is under control where all the good 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. well since last week's downgrade of the u.s. credit rating and concern over the european debt crisis people have flocked to buying gold as

a safe haven to invest their money it's value has almost doubled in the last two years and prices for the precious metals have skyrocketed this week are breaking all time records stephen wright asia business editor says that gold will always hold its value because of its short supply. it's definitely a sign of fear and hate and inside he markets gyrating wildly people want to take money away from risky yes it's like stocks and gold is a natural haven for investors money to do that the amount of gold that is being produced since humans started digging out of the ground is actually less than the amount of steel that the world produces every day so gold has a rarity value and people see this it is holding its value in times of financial. market volatility they see it as as a relatively stable and safe investment. and because it's in such short supply

when demand explodes for those commodity of course the price starts to skyrocket as we have seen in recent days. or i don't know a quarter past the hour here in moscow you with i see six gunmen including a terrorist cell leader has been killed in russia's southern republic of dagestan this during a two day anti terror operation it's according to the national antiterrorism committee. was believed to be the mastermind of several terrorist attacks across the country and was on the most wanted list is also thought to have helped to train a suicide bomber who blew itself up with a military camp in the republic last year four officers were killed in that blast and more than thirty injured russia's anti terror committee claims that he was assisted by georgia's intelligence service. so i just got some other headlines from around the world for you now this hour syrian government forces have reportedly

talks between the two sides have been deadlocked by the construction of jewish homes in the west bank and as analysts baskin told us the latest announcement is yet another step away from a compromise. and this is not 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. that the government of israel feels pretty immune to any criticism around the world greatly on this issue everyone is busy with the global financial crisis the united states as well those involved twenty percent of the u.s. congress visiting israel this week and we all know that you've got in your has a lot more support in the american congress than he does even in his own parliament so this will just be another is really active building more settlements within
