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 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 it can to do the opposite effect you're going to get everywhere a much start it's taking our stories of four young children out that will put children on the streets on the decide maybe if there's no enough police them will help them and just get everyone the wage the cost to the shops and then just push them away basically we don't want to go off to really cause any trouble we just want to make sure that no one comes in. the shops on the road 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 can you tell them which then takes it on. causing the violence on 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 what it means 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 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. 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 attract all thoughts and more pentel a teton just rear its head in looters this is 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 and with budget cuts to front line officers still on the table poppies on the beach could get fewer and further between while local vigilante we could take up the slack you ran it r.t. . as politicians brown most of the rioters are educated jobless and youth some of them turn out to be quite the opposite among the looters was a millionaire's daughter and aspiring ballet dancer and young musician social policy expert attorney says the role of parents has been so undermined it drives

youngsters to crime. if we don't have already 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 are sending out a message in our society can't be trusted there are those voices of authority in young people's voice need to be paid more attention to that message is a very dangerous missions to send out because it's completely accepting 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 out to the market and i think this is a much broader problem 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 not show respect for other people when we when we we've been through this process i think we actually need to look much deeper at this problem. this is our team now a u.s. court has ruled that two american contractors who work for a private security firm in iraq can and now soon donald rumsfeld over their alleged illegal imprisonment and torture if proven guilty of the former pentagon chief will be held personally accountable while in iraq the two men and made claims that beth was engaged in corruption it's believed that they were then detained for nine months at a military facility before being released without explanation charges a lawsuit against rumsfeld had been rejected until now by prosecutors. 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 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

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 at least the pentagon doesn't seem to be worried about money as a splash as the cash in a bid to convince young americans to sign up for the army alongside financial. employment hollywood and the video games industry are helping to turn a military service into a truck option to use anastasio truck and i reports on how the future is playing out for would be soldiers. a hunch for american youth. to hunt down the next american enemy 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 dumping soldiers the real

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 in. but could you 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. the world better off limits to us it is often too late the problem is 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 harmony at home also comes in handy for the pentagon there's

a choppy 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 and practices investors selling 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 score which was finally reaffirmed by the ratings of giants on a wednesday investors however remain unconvinced the country's finances are solid enough recent figures show stagnation in growth while the banking sector has been battling health was a hug from the european school of management and technology says it's the banks that are once again being offered protection. 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 which 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 a continued downward trend so overall i think these measures will not have a long lasting effect france. also the debt problem the overall debt level is very high and now that the u.s. government debt 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 bed 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. while the seemingly endless global recession has sent investors looking for safer bets for their money and it's gold but most 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 stephen wright a p s asia business editor says the goals of short supply means it will always hold its value it's differently a sign of fear and 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 want you to do that the amount of gold that is being produced since humans started digging out of the ground is actually less than the

amounts 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 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. now quarter past the hour here in moscow you with the mighty russians and see terra committee says they have 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 must. excuse me is believed to have been behind the first terrorist attacks on police officers in dagestan he was also thought to have helped to train a suicide bomber who blew himself up at

many have been forced into silence fears of job security. evil. speak no evil at least not if it's about the hungary in government opinion since hungary's new media law claim that gay journalists are being silenced . it's about hiding things and hiding that source and not covering controversy. of the government and that'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 of thirty days working for the media regulate all chosen by the ruling party and your loyal supporters before being selected public service broadcasting is completely one sided by the government there had been some measure of the office and the boot. people loyal to the government thing for him to keep positions of

public public. t.v. and radio channels journalists see voice criticisms of the wrath of the new wealth or say they were journalists of the public radio and. the media was introduced they have one minute silence in the national radio. they were right there is suspended and then one of them left the radio. in fact he was the other one was fired hundreds of others had stuff in the same fate but the wave of layoffs across the industry. and the situation in the media here who want to keep their jobs and now. blind. either shakeups a good thing and. a very inflated public media sector has been long. has

become. very politicized about politics and about professional commerce. and something. you have to cut costs that has been strongly contested and many talented journalists have found themselves out of the job. is not trust. the people. in recent firings an uncertainty about the implications of a new law or just some of the recent events allude causing serious concern about hungary's democratic future. the government needs an independent media so if this government thinks that. it can.

influence. and regulate. 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 be set to radically transform the congress media third party. summer time in moscow was perfect for outdoor activities. and i was exactly how do you keep fit and stay cool in the mosque.

that was absolutely brilliant. i just love the summer here in moscow. because here and i just over an hour's time when i next know it's dimitri with the business. thanks rory the russian markets closed up for the second day in a row after a negative finish of six previous session and a late rally has kept the arts yes just ahead below sixteen hundred points he thought it was going off is that the stock exchange in moscow four percent starting . looks like on certainty and volatility remain the name of the game here in russia the last five days have now become the most volatile trading week since two

thousand and eight authorities in europe are trying to reinforce some common the markets fight banning the short selling on banks france italy spain and belgium have banned bats which allowed investors to profit from the fall of the prices of stocks but similar steps had 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 are the only this economic growth figures from france which is already under scrutiny from ratings agencies due to its high debts and g.d.p. figures aren't helping the situation since they're showing the eurozone second largest economy is stagnant clearly there's a lot of talk on the margins or no one in this volatility is part of the multi-stage downturn or means the market is near the bottom of analysts are saying

now it's too 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 still steer clear of the market. as we have heard from our correspondent a number of european countries have imposed a ban on short selling banks they've adjourns market strategist ali g. in their explosives this will only provide troops. 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 we've got similar levels of volatility we had three years ago in september two thousand and eight there was widespread short selling bans but over the next month financial markets will drop another fifteen to twenty percent so traders in europe at least so far are back convinced the short selling bans necessary to change anything so what should the investor do in these troubled times the gold treasuries and cash are all traditional safe havens for those wishing to stay in equities or buyers but

not from the we capital markets recommend steering clear of companies exposed to the global economy. well right now 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 days 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. let's look at how the markets are fairing this now in the u.s. they are positive this. a strong recovery on thursday but gains are limited as data shows consumer confidence is pulling sharply to forty nine point one fifty four point nine points rather the lowest level in thirteen years in the europe of the markets are showing a positive dynamic simple see up to half percent the dax three percent that's the second session in a row also firstly for seeing the backstabbers three percent latest french economic

growth figures not causing that much of a concern even though they showed euro zone's second biggest economy was taken in the second quarter. and the closing figures on friday in russia supposed to be but we're showing england again if we could switch around to russia there we are r.t.s. up three point two percent at the close my sixty two point two percent that's off today now in a rally on thursday is a snapshot of the market moves on the nice legs energy majors so we're actually performing differently lukoil up there just point three percent so the company boosted its net profit by fifty percent of first half of the year reaching seven point two billion dollars but i'm afraid that's not enough for him versus another well company ross knapp is up over four. point four percent almost noon while private gas producer no woodside is up almost two percent supported by its net profits rising one hundred twenty percent in the second quarter. fairly quickly oil
