he's available in the movie the joint fever chills a movie that's a great way to go to the grand imperial truly the george was the bush coromandel you can a letter to the socialist which says don't need to go and. read this and the colonel was her turn to retreat. looking after their own british vigilantes moved to protect streets from troublemakers accusing the police of doing too little too late during the recent destructive way one or. two americans can officially sue the former u.s. defense secretary donald rumsfeld over their alleged torture in iraq all of this as america ramps up its propaganda machine to entice more youngsters into the armed forces. and media outrage in hungary as journalists slam a new door that could effectively silence critics help the government endangering press freedom and the very notion of a democracy. a

very warm welcome to you this is r.t. live from moscow where it's an hour just after six pm night fell over london and once again crowds spilled onto the streets except this time it was local residents out to protect their communities from looters after several days of disorder vandalism and theft and british public has decided it's time to fight back with or without the police and laura reports. to goodness i could show you a warning to loot says 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 chase down the road after police ready to drive troublemakers. out of town. despite the mall 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 can a day opposite effect you're going to get everywhere in much started taking all stories of four young children out of the children on the streets run the risk that maybe if there's not enough police then will help them and just get everyone to 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 specially no shops open you know routine 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 to go into society that solve the problems with out on to violence and causing distress commuter train for example. causing

violence in the streets. this is the current faced 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 it's a pretty small bit iffy all the other things are 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 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 them with a car the tragedy ignited anger in the asian community a vigilante attracts all. thoughts and did more than tell us he doesn't just rear

its head in hooters this is a huge number of police officers on the streets of england at the moment which many find reassuring but groups like the enfield are me proof that communities still feel police are unable to protect them and with budget cuts the frontline officers still on the table he's on the beat could get fewer and further between while the local vigilante we could take up the slack you read it all see london. meantime as politicians most of the rioters as an educated jobless youth some of them turn out to be quite the opposite among the losers was a millionaire's daughter an aspiring ballet dancer and a young musician social policy expert turning around says that the role of parents has been so undermined it drives youngsters to crime. if we don't have a storage city then how can you expect young people to learn that they need to adopt certain standards to accept that adults are going to challenge them and

question their behavior or their ideas and argue with them and get them to be socialized into being mature adults we sending a message in our society. can't be trusted there are those voices of authority in the young people's voice needs to be paid more attention see that message is a very dangerous missions to send them because that completely upsets in the normal balance of things where i'd also responsible for nurturing young people putting them under pressure challenging them to achieve the best they possibly can and basically where necessary giving them a hard time about where they where they're not fully coming up to the mark and i think this is a much broader problem of which in some respects these instances of riots and criminality are just one more obvious visible expression. should be no surprise in our society that young people think that they can wander around and you know what

not to show respect to other people when we when we we've been through this process i think we actually need to look much deeper at this problem. you're with us you live from moscow a u.s. court has ruled that two american contractors who worked for a private security firm in iraq. donald rumsfeld over their alleged illegal imprisonment and torture if proven guilty the former pentagon chief would be held personally accountable while in iraq the two men have made claims that it was engaged in corruption it's believed that they were then detained for nine months at a military facility before being released without explanation or charge a lawsuit against rumsfeld had been rejected by prosecutors and so now you were activist brownback it says the case opens the floodgates to other 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 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 all of these people can 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 and that if anyone holds them accountable that will be quote shackling in their effort to carry out war it's partly demagogy by my 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 at least the pentagon doesn't seem to be too worried about money

splashes the cash in a bid to convince young americans to sign up for the army alongside financial uncertainty and unemployment hollywood and the video video games industry by helping to turn a military service into an attractive option. and i reports on how the future is playing out for would be soldiers. to hunt for american youth. to hunt down the next american enemy more incorporated a robust business machine is operating at full capacity in the u.s. district judge. from televised ads in hollywood blockbusters. to video games to american presidents dubbing soldiers the real patriots each of them aired on or what it means to be a soldier sailor airman marine corps stories but the image of the american warrior is portrayed as that of the invincible hero times where one of the number one

intravenous pots in the video attracts millions from around the world and across the west apart from the flashing lights of 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 treatment center people tournaments i mean they're going up these young kids to perform well and see if the u.s. military needs to see your skills at this video game of course too young fifteen or sixteen or seventeen year olds and this is something that's very basic it's a cruel of the separate. 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 it presented the military for what it was i don't think any. with joy 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 or it's up. to the world or. 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 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 carney a whole 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 there to ten 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 meaning during it and more young americans into more wars with no happy end or game over insights and there's a church in our new york. still ahead for you here this hour on our c.e.o. when more homes and means more attention is really set the field for thousands of new settlements in occupied land just weeks before palestinians are expected to ask the un for statehood recognition. and hungary and journalists are forced to keep quiet if they want to keep their jobs as a new review or it's becoming press freedom. after chalking week for europe's stocks for eurozone countries have resorted to methods unseen since the two thousand and eight crisis to try and calm the markets france italy spain and belgium have decided to ban short selling on the shares of banks and other

financial companies practice sees investors selling borrowed stocks that are expected to fall in price before buying them back and keeping the difference short selling has been blamed for increasing recent market volatility meanwhile france has been battling speculation it was going to lose its aaa school which was finally reaffirmed by ratings giants on wednesday investors however remain unconvinced the country's finances are solid enough recent figures show stagnation in growth on the banking sector has been battling health remains young hard in the from the european school of management and technology says it's the banks that are once again it's actually. part of these rescue managed 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 where it has been very convenient for governments to increase debt 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 my fear is that we see some short term improvement in the share prices i think overall we will see it continue downward trend so overall i think these measures will not have a long lasting effect france also has a debt problem the overall. debt level is very high and now that the u.s. government has been downgraded there'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 requires some political will to implement these changes and i think that is a 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. seemingly endless global recession as investors looking for safer bets for their

money and it's gold that's emerged as the most popular commodity its value has almost doubled in the last two years and precious metal prices have broken all records this week alone steven wright. business out of gold's short supply means it will always hold its value. it's definitely a sign of fear and anxiety markets gyrating wildly people want to take money away from risky yes it's like stocks and gold is a natural haven for investors wanted to do that the amount of gold that is being up to since humans started taking 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

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. already with r.t. live from moscow it's now a quarter past the hour russia's anti terror committee say they've killed the chief of a major terrorist cell in the southern republic of dagestan he was among six militants confirmed dead in the security raid in the region's capital. he is believed to have been behind the first terrorist attacks on police officers in pakistan and also thought to have helped to train a suicide bomber who blew up at a military camp in the republic last year that killed over fifty people police said the news and ran his associates were preparing more assaults in the region when they were killed pakistan remains one of russia's most of volatile regions facing near daily violence. some of the headlines from around the world this hour syrian

security forces have renewed their clampdown on anti regime protesters following friday's prayers when mass riots erupted across the country in the city of homs at least one was killed in the eastern el jure the army fired shots as tens of thousands gathered against president assad's rule. this point no injuries reported it all comes after the american secretary of state hillary clinton called for wider international sanctions on syria. a pakistani court has sentenced a paramilitary soldier to death over the killing of a young unarmed man in june the incident that occurred in the city of karachi was caught on videotape and broadcast on national television six other men are also accused in the teenager's death they were handed a life in prison because provoked public. complaints over the group tell us he of pakistan's security forces. student protests have exploded into violence in the chilling capital santiago protesters demanding government funded education work

seen hitting police cars with sticks and throwing rocks at officers the mass demonstrations started two months ago when president pinera and i was plans to cut spending on education even after demands by students telling them quote nothing is free in this life someone has to pay. israel has approved the building of thousands of new settlements in east jerusalem on the land that palestinians consider to be theirs this comes just weeks ahead of an expected move by the palestinian administration to have their state recognized within the established nine hundred sixty seven borders the u.n. security council peace talks between the two sides have been deadlocked since last year after the construction of jewish homes in the west bank. says the latest announcement is yet another step away from a compromise. and this is not a game 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

is the block to return to negotiations is the continued settlement building by the government of israel this is not going to help the situation let's preserve the government of israel feels pretty immune to any criticism around the world rate the i want to show everyone is busy with a global crisis the road. states as well as 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 this will 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 . it with r.t. and of course more news comment and eye catching videos are always available for you twenty four seven on our website so here's a taste of what else is online right now and artsy dot com shots fired on the korean peninsula and russian tensions between the north and south with analysts

predicting the souls of two thousand and twelve elections will bring a big changes and relations. and an alien abduction is more likely than sensible congressman reese according to the majority of americans who are rapidly losing trust in their normal because of more of that and so many other items so i head over to our topic of. the government in hungary has adopted a controversial new media controlled war critics say represents a full scale assault on the freedom of press and will result in hundreds of journalists being sacked but it's also used sarah for the reports despite fierce opposition many have been forced into silence over fears of drop security. speak no evil at least not about the hung gary in government opinion hungary's new media law claim there journalist being silenced. it's about

hiding things and hiding the truth and not covering controversy. of the government that's there's there's there's there's the whole message of. covering broadcast print and online content the controversial new law also established a new media authority and these working for the media regulate all cheese and by the ruling party and were loyal supporters being selected public service broadcasting is completely controlled by the government there have been some measure of the office and the boot. people loyal to the government the key positions that could be public t.v. and radio chatter of journalists t.v. . we skipped this isn't just the rest of the new war stories say they were journalists of the public radio and. when the media law was introduced they had one minute silence in the national radio. they were right of

a suspended and one of them that the radio. in fact he was the other one was fired hundreds of others have suffered the same fate with the wave of layoffs across the industry. and the situation in the media here want to keep their jobs and. line. either shakeups a good thing and. a very inflated public media sector has been long. so i think. this debate has become. very politicized. politics than about professional comments. it's something. you have to cut costs that the day has been strongly contests many talented journalists have found

themselves out of the job. was not. the. recent firings and uncertainty about the implications of the new law or just some of the recent events that are causing serious concern about hungary's democratic future. the government needs an independent media so if this government thinks. it can. influence they can regulate. its very. very ground but heavy criticism from both within the country and internationally the government sticking by the new media laws the changes they could bring to radically

transform the state of hungary's media. now summertime in moscow is perfect for outdoor activities and. knows exactly how to keep fit and stay cool and the most there are some i. know is absolutely brilliant careful not to crush. well i just love the summer here in moscow.

to stay with us i must go out of here in about five minutes time i will be after the latest business news to victory. thanks for the russian markets also it's a close up for the second day in a row of negative finish of the six previous sessions the late rally has kept the arts yes i have read sixteen hundred points it's now just a little below that you got pissed off is that the stock exchange moscow for business arts. looks like on certainty and volatility remain the name of the game here in russia the last five days have now become the most a volatile trading week since two thousand and eight authorities in europe are trying to reinforce some calm on the markets by burning the short selling on banks france italy spain and belgium have banned bets which allow the investors to profit from the fall of the prices of stocks but similar steps have been taken before in

two thousand and eight by the u.k. and the u.s. and back then it was altered in a degree of artificial inflation in stock prices on the down side on friday already a latest economic growth figures from france which is already under scrutiny from ratings agencies due to its high bets and g.d.p. figures aren't helping the situation since they're showing the eurozone second largest economy is stagnant currently there is a lot of talk on the margins of on whether this volatility is part of a multi-stage downturn or means the market is near the bottom of analysts are saying now it's to wait to sell yet too early to buy so since it's impossible to predict the market's moves perhaps the best thing to do now is to steer clear of the market. as we have for one corresponds number of european countries and sometimes the ban on short selling on banks david jones a market strategist e.g.

index fund leaves this will only provide short term relief. that's helping the markets today we've got for example here in london barclays is one of the top prizes of the day so we are seeing strength in banks but it is like history repeating itself because similar levels of volatility we had three years ago in september two thousand and eight there was widespread short selling brands but over the next month financial markets still dropped another fifteen to twenty percent so again traders in europe at least so far are convinced the short selling bans and necessary to change anything. so what should the investor do in these troubled times called treasuries and cash are all traditional safe havens for those wishing to stay in equities to buy from a dive or capital markets recommend steering clear of companies exposed to the global economy. that's helping the markets today we've got for example here in london barclays is one of the top prize them as i said we are seeing strength in banks but it is like history repeat we apologize for the technical issue and i was

not surprised but now obviously let's move to the markets in the u.s. the markets make stuff a strong recovery on thursday as the data shows consumer confidence is fall sharply there for the dow jones as i point two percent nasdaq down accoutrement percent. european markets did fall immediately after the opening but have since been mining they've lost a bit of their steam in the past hour the latest french economic growth figures are a cause for concern as they show the years and second biggest economy was stagnant in the second quarter for these are two percent tax two point six percent. analysts take a look now what's happening in russia fifteen minutes before the clothes still looking positive the r.t.s. is up two point three percent so really below that threshold of sixteen hundred points myself one and a half percent now what's moving in my six right now lukoil is up just half a percent there was up around two percent before last night's three point four

percent as. oil prices are recovering look at that in the second noble tech is up point six percent it's supported by net profits rising one hundred twenty percent in the second quarter. while prices are positive as we mentioned before the limits lou gains are limited rather with many fearing a market volatility will slow down economic recovery is up seventy two cents in brant is up thirty one cents this hour and when it comes to precious metals they are in the red bull discussion is graphic after breaking a new record on the first day is losing two percent this hour silver however is flat so is going back to yesterday's closing for. business r.t. will be back in fifty five minutes time next with.
