trading week in three years on a positive note gaining two and a half percent on that on business of the. international news and current live from the live here in moscow it's just turned ten pm good to have you with us this hour. of police not doing enough to keep london safe the british public take to the streets to protect their neighborhoods from vandals after several days of had occluded shops and torched because communities decided it's time to take the matter into their own hands and more and it's as. if it is good to see. a warning to looters if you come out and feel 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 try troublemakers out of town. despite the mall the 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 do the opposite effect but you're going to get that everywhere very much started to take the house three young children out i will put children on the streets for them decide 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 after anyone 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 with out on through violence and causing distress commitment 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 it's a pretty small bit of the bins 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 model 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 lou. with

a car the tragedy ignited anger in the asian community a vigilante plan to track all thoughts and to tell if he doesn't just head in looters 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 and with budget cuts the front line officers still on the table on the beat could get fewer and further between while the local vigilante group could take up the slack and it r.t. . let's talk a lot from the u.k. pirate party he joins us live now from manchester thanks very much indeed for being with us here in r.t. no top metropolitan police officer said vigilantism could lead to violence but if the police fail to protect people in their property surely those who are threatened are left with no other option. well i think we've all been shocked here in the

united kingdom are about the scenes we've seen over the last few days of riots arson and looting but thankfully things are getting back to normal here now and that's because of robust policing and policing which has been visible and has also been working with the consent of the communities i think that that's going to be the key to the way forward and many people were asking for some extreme types of measures to deal with the kind of scenes that we've heard over the past few days so for example bringing on bringing in the army or water cannons or bullets but it's clearly that actual reversed visible positive policing is the way forward vigilantism can only actually leads to further tensions and exacerbating problems it's actually calm that we need on the streets of london and i'm and i'm happy to

say that it's now what we're seeing britain this back in business again and picking up the pieces and being positive so much searching for the reasons behind this latest violence in the u.k. of course i do want to talk about social networking now we heard that david cameron deliver a strong message saying that the free flow of information can be used for ill now could that perhaps be a sign that we could see the control of social networking in the u.k. . well david cameron's announcement yesterday did amounts to plans for restrictions on social media and services like blackberry messenger now this is an arm except the bill needs reaction and it's actually a lurch community authoritarianism it's the kind of thing that we in the pirate party and knowing about now for some time here in the united kingdom it's

a further step towards saud censorship and it's actually an exception but the most important thing to say is that it's actually not practicable the kind of plans that he was putting forward yesterday but but isn't it in this indicative of the case that it is a serious issue here another quote from the metropolitan police saying that social media and other methods have been used to organize these levels of greed and criminality so shorty cameron's potential idea of putting some sort of control over sushi social media does hold some sort of water because if it does prevent that sort of thing happening in the future then that is justified isn't it. well it's actually not practicable what the idea of the plans was somehow to stop individuals inciting violence through social media now i haven't even seen any concrete evidence for example that twitter was used in this way but the only way that such such an action be carried out is by blanket bans now this would only go

to hunnish the majority of the population instead for the actions of a tiny criminal minority but if it wants to get a blanket citizen played it burned for a short period of time wouldn't most of society accept it and say that's a very good reason world will. well i think not because for example their worst suggestions for example to close down black berry messenger if we'd done that earlier this week it could have caused widespread panic and certainly uncertain events it was more difficult for families to get in contact with their loved ones and to tell price it's essentially it's important to say that so that what didn't happen was a bunch of people to start the twitter and said oh this would be a good way to organize the riots we must look at root cause see it's not channels of communication. we'll leave it there thanks so much for your time joining us live

in manchester last case of the u.k. pirate party thanks. a u.s. court has ruled the two american contractors who work for a private security firm in iraq can sue donald rumsfeld over the alleged illegal imprisonment and torture if proven guilty the former pentagon chief will be held personally accountable well in iraq the make claims that there 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 well lawyer and 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 people that he caused injury to gold the days being us citizens being a rather startling outcome is that now a united states citizen can sue for torture that happened outside the united states

but someone who is not a us citizen who is probably hardly even horace or even well by those exact same practices they were ordered and authorized by mr rumsfeld cannot sue under our own laws let alone all international treaties mr rumsfeld should be going to jail for people that he has authorized the torture of throughout the black sites throughout the world there is that very notorious document where he locked a rise to a whole string of terrible practices and then a product said i have to stand for eight hours at a time during work question the prisoners a huge difference of course being that he could walk around and pull prelate prisoners had to stay in the next session which causes the lymph nodes or out the body to swell until the people can't even get their shoes back on usually it's excruciating so because he ordered those he certainly should be subject to suit that does not mean that all of the other people who worked with him on all of this

including president bush of course should not also be subject to suit they should be. at least the pentagon doesn't seem to be worried about money as it 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 games industry are helping turn military service into an attractive option. in a report on how the future is playing out for would be soldiers. to hunt for american hugh. 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 blockbusters. to video games to american presidents dumping soldiers the real patriots each of them and. what it means to be

price before buying and backing keeping the difference short selling has been going for increasing recent market volatility meanwhile france has been battling speculation it was going to lose its aaa score which was finally reaffirmed by ratings johnson wednesday and this is however remain unconvinced the country's finances are solid enough recent figures show stagnation in growth while the banking sector has been battling health rumors you know haagen from the european school of management and technology says it's the planks 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 is the debt problem the overall debt level is very high and now that the u.s. government 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 my. it's 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 it will implement these tough measures then i think we could see some stabilization in the markets by the way more news coming tonight catching videos are always there if you want to a website here's a taste of what's on your right now the north comp shortfall in the korean

a negative finish of the previous six sessions peter weston from out on says unlike the crisis of two thousand and now better positioned to weather the storm. the good thing is that even though we were down a lot it didn't seem like they were panic selling i think that investors were much better prepared this time around than they were in two thousand and eight dollars being part of significant if very equally significant on a daily basis in the beginning of the week but i think because it was so much bad news out of europe and us so much speculation about the first downgrade that eventually happened of the credit rating but more bad news out of europe of speculation about the next country to basically be in trouble over sovereign debt invest it had time to position themselves in a better way for the downturn so in other words they moved slightly more into defensive sectors whether it's the downturn came and then the when they were selling a few clients i spoke to were you know were selling part of what their holdings if they were reducing russia. but they were not sort of selling in panic. in an effort
