of town but. despite the more 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 i can to day the opposite effect you're going to get that everywhere very much started to take you know stories of four young children or children on the streets all of this is happening 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 because we don't want to go off to really cause any trouble we just want to make sure that no one comes in. 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 ongoing violence and causing chris christie

trouble which then takes it on. causing further 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 it's a case where the pings 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 the with a car the tragedy. the asian community

a vigilante band attracts all thoughts and bad tell it doesn't just head. 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 army prove that communities still feel police are unable to protect them and with budget cuts the front line officers still on the table. could get fewer and further between while vigilance and we could take up the slack. as politicians brand most of the rioters as an educated jobless youth some of them turn out to be quite the opposite among the looters was a millionaire's daughter and aspiring ballet dancer and a young musician social policy expert tony can and says the role of parents has been so undermined it drives youngsters to criminality and if we don't have. then how can you expect young people to learn that they need to adopt certain standards

1:06 pm
show respect to other people when we when we been through this process i think we actually need to look much deeper at this problem. a u.s. court has ruled two american contractors who work for a private security firm in iraq consume donald rumsfeld over their alleged illegal imprisonment and torture if proven guilty the former pentagon chief would be held personally accountable while the two men made claims that their firm 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 have been rejected by prosecutors until now are in human rights activist jennifer harbury says other officials from the bush administration should also be held accountable. the only outcome in a civil case is that he must pay money damages to the people that he caused injury
1:07 pm
to both of these being us citizens the rather startling outcome is that now a united states citizen can sue for a torture that happened outside the united states but someone who is not a us citizen who is probably harmed even horse or even by those exact same practices they were ordered authorized by mr rumsfeld cannot sue under our own laws let alone all international treaties mr rumsfeld should be going to jail on for people that he has authorized the torture of carryout but black sites throughout the world there's that very notorious document where he authorized a whole string of terrible practices and then at the pot and said i have to stand for eight hours at a time during war fighting the prisoners a huge difference of course being that he could walk around and who are prisoners that to stay in a fix the session which causes the lymph nodes are output body to swell until the people can't even get their shoes back on usually it's excruciating so because he

1:13 pm
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 has a debt problem the overall debt level is very high and now that the u.s. government debt has been downgraded it is 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 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. the seemingly endless
