international news and current life from r.t. here in moscow has just turned eleven pm talk 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 have a clue to shops and torch cars communities decided it's time to take the matter into their own hands or emmett's has more to goodness a country a warning to looters 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 look. despite the mall atmosphere a large crowd of young men are out for justice there's been no trouble so far.

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 affect you're going to get every weapon much started to take in our streets up young children of children on the streets all of this is happening if there's not enough police them will help them just carry on the wage the cost to the shops and 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 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 to violence and causing distress control which then takes it over causing the 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 if the police but it. made me think 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 how these things should be done that despite the fact that three young asian men were killed in early on wednesday trying to protect local businesses looters allegedly rams the with a car the tragedy ignited anger in the asian community a vigilante attracts all sorts and more pentel if he doesn't 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. like the enfield

a proof that communities still feel police are unable to protect their budget cuts but front line off is still on the table bookies on the beat could get fewer and further between local vigilante could take up the slack and it's all see. let's talk to journey corben from the u.k. labor party joins me live now from london mr good to have you here on or to you know david cameron has blamed the riots on the sickness of society what do you believe caused this week's nationwide scenes of criminality there in the u.k. . a combination of things some of it is simply young people who are not so young people who took advantage of a situation and a lot of looting a lot of damage of a tragedy a number of deaths and yes she was sparked off. where a young man was killed following an old haitian with the police and then the

rioting then later spread across the whole country a lot of other young people were enjoying being and felt that they could do whatever they wish with impunity because they felt i believe very alienated from society so there are a number of different tissues at stake here one is the relationship between the police i'm communities in some parts of britain particularly what happened in tottenham the second is a group of people who see themselves as able to steal with impunity taking design a close watch is what kind of thing i do very much larger group of young people who are often i mean or you feel that society isn't doing very much for them and feel very alienated and i think there are some very uncomfortable lessons that have got to be learned by the whole country from this experience not doing much for these people doesn't that rests with the likes of you politicians. yes it does absolutely . in tottenham for example half the people living in households of the team to be

poor or overall twenty percent of young people in britain are out of work many graduates even find difficulties in finding jobs many school leavers find difficulty getting training or jobs and of course this then. just put it filters down into younger people who feel that their chances of getting anything good in life are quite limited and therefore they look for another option which is this legislation is happening you ask you there's a legacy from your government the previous government which you were a part of or is this as a result of the current government's policies it's not all because of what's happened by the present government it comes from what's happened before it comes from the recession but it also comes i believe in hearts and only in part from the more recent cuts taking place in student allowances and the benefits in general and so there is increasing and. of poor young people particularly of

a big cities of this country it's a very uncomfortable that's not a lot of politicians or the sun is going to be down and fast to bring these these young people back into the mainstream of society u.k. prime ministers focused on the role of networks like twitter and facebook the way they played a role in organizing the unrest do you think that caused to curb social media at times of unrest is actually valid. no i don't it's utterly ridiculous the idea that you could sense the people's methods of communication because the someone rest well this is history and this two hundred years ago. was there were attempts to prevent printing presses begin operations because people might find out what's going on they can't stop communication what you have to do is assert moral value within society and encourage young people to believe they have some scope and some stake in society and that is the problem it's the social alienation the

impoverishment the disillusionment of young people is not exclusive to britney also how easily france and spain and italy and in many other countries across western europe are you concerned that it may be a kneejerk reaction where social media is controlled that this could lead to a lack of freedom and information and perhaps turn britain into a police state i mean it could be the start of something bigger could it not there's a very unpleasant agenda surrounding this which david cameron in part is promoting why it is that could fail mental social media such as twitter and facebook the other is eviction of holy families from homes because one member of the family has been charged and convicted of an offense to do with the events of the past week and then you suggest the bring the water can only suggest that putting the army on the street all kinds of took only images we have to listen and try and understand not the principles of those people the stealing simply for them selves but the danger

to all of us of the very large number of young people who don't feel any any problem with getting involved because they don't feel they have any stake in society as a whole that is a very dangerous thing we've got to learn lessons from repression won't solve it repression will make it worse censorship won't solve it that will make it worse. thanks for your thoughts thanks for your time joining us live in the. u.s. court has ruled the true american contractors who work for a private security firm in iraq consumed donald rumsfeld over bit alleged illegal imprisonment and torture if proven guilty the former pentagon chief would be held personally accountable while in iraq the two men made claims that the 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 are being rejected by prosecutors until now let's get more on this from activist there bruce sweet joining us live from new york thanks for being with us here in our judges taking the side of the military contractors

after years of litigation how far do you think this legal action against rumsfeld could. well i suppose it could go all the way to repealing this sordid business that stands behind this illegitimate occupation at the rock and i would add afghanistan by the united states one can only hope that there actually is the potential for the whole story coming out and this lawsuit of course it is not just by happenstance that the lawsuit has not been heard before this because it's the obama administration that has resolutely opposed any prosecutions of the former bush regime's war criminals and office like around the spelt alike bush himself dick cheney and all the torture lawyers that actually created that justification for torture carried out in guantanamo abu ghraib and

across the whole rubric of the war on sure how do you explain please why obama would take this position when this is all about the previous administration. well i can only quote his words and he said that he that of course torture was wrong but that he preferred to go forward rather than look backward and in fact there spend numerous attempts to seek justice in u.s. courts by people who were detained in guantanamo completely without charges by people who were kidnapped and taken to u.s. black torture sites like mahara are in a canadian citizen and like the relatives of three prisoners at guantanamo who died in two thousand and six none of these people have been able to convince

a court in the united states to allow their legitimate lawsuits to go forward and this is in each case because the obama administration department of justice has opposed these inquiries and their justification is always national security so that is in effect and of all the cables to a lot of the almost against the edges with the legislation here but in a way does that give you hope for some sort of optimism because if this has been brought to light then perhaps could it not influence of all it was future wave the u.s. involvement in the likes of iraq and afghanistan. well of course bringing all of this to light is extremely important because after all these occupations only continue based on people feeling that they're legitimate i think they're profoundly immoral lemon just and everything we learned i mean this is quite an

incredible case to former u.s. veterans who were in afghanistan working for i'm sorry in iraq working for an iraqi company that had a massive contract with the united states department of justice defense in fact started to become informers for the united states department of justice the f.b.i. and what they found to be while in iraq massive cases of stealing of selling alcohol to iraqi forces of bribery and all sorts of the things that we know and we knew were going on when billions of dollars are involved in the u.s. funds conducting this occupation these guys started to try to get the truth out and then were grabbed by u.s. military interrogated apparently according to them and i certainly believe them. under the same methods of so-called enhanced interrogation that was approved all

the way to the top not only rumsfeld we know cheney was behind this and bush said all of this was happening with his approval so of course the truth has got to come out and i really congratulate. donald fance and nathan or tell your fighting through to try to get the story out and as they said it is really important for other whistleblowers to come forward we'll leave it there for sweet thanks very much for sharing of your thoughts in new york. well coming up on r.t. this hour an assault on civil liberties in hungary journalists are forced to keep quiet if they want to keep their jobs as a new media door is slammed for curbing press freedom. after choppy week for europe stocks for eurozone countries have resorted to methods unseen since the two thousand and eight crisis to try and calm markets france italy spain and

belgium have decided to ban short selling on the shares of banks and other financial companies practices investors selling stocks that are expected to form and price before buying them back and keeping the difference short selling is being 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 jobs a wednesday investors however remain unconvinced the country's finances a solid enough recent figures show stagnation in growth while the banking sector has been battling health room and. 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 through 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 but it's 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 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 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 more news commented eye

established in the media of thirty days working for the media regulate all chosen by the ruling party and were loyal supporters being elected public service broadcasting is completely by the government there have been some measure of the office and the point. people loyal to the government to keep positions of public public t.v. and radio channels journalists he voice criticism have felt the wrath of the new authorities say they would. probably. be introduced had their one minute silence in the national. writer is suspended and one of them left the radio. in fact he was the other one was fired hundreds of others have started the same

fate with the wave of layoffs across the industry. the situation in the media here and want to keep their jobs and. line. a good thing and that they are a very inflated public media sector has been long. this is not only talking. so i think. this debate has become. very politicized it's more about politics than about profession or commerce. and something is unsustainable you have to cut costs that the day has been strongly contest and many talented journalists have found themselves out of the job. is not. so.

recent firings an uncertainty about the implications of a new law just some of the recent. serious concerns about hungary's democratic. government needs an independent media so if this government thinks. it. can influence can regulate. its very. very bad ground but heavy criticism from both within the country and internationally the government sticking by the new media laws the changes they could bring could be set to radically transform the face of hungry media. for the past. summertime here in moscow is perfect for outdoor activities were really enjoying some great weather here at the moment i'm not an envious knows exactly how to keep

fit and stay cool in the heat. while there is absolutely brilliant capital to crush. what i just love the summer here in moscow. let's go out is here for you in just over an hour from now on our team now it's time for the latest business news with the nutri.

that's right though you can get later than that sometimes half past eleven here in moscow but volatile trading week in free years ended on a positive note in rochelle markets have closed up for the second day in a row after the negative finish of the previous six sessions he's a western from out on says unlike the crisis of two thousand and eight like it players are better positioned this time to weather the story. 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 the fall it's been quite a significant 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 first began with apparently having of the credit rating but more bad news out of europe as speculation about the next country to basically be in trouble over a sovereign debt invest that 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 selling part of what their holdings if they were reduced in russia. but they were not sort of selling in panic. in an effort to stabilize the markets for european nations have banned short selling on banks france italy spain and belgium are prohibited bets which allow investors to profit from falls in the price of financial stocks a move for those high volatility in the fears about their exposure to euro zone government debt david jones market strategist index believes this will only provide a short term relief. and that's helping the markets today we've got for example here in london barclays is one of the top prize them as i say 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 put over the next month's financial markets still dropped another fifteen to twenty percent so again traders in europe at least so

far are that convinced the short selling bans are necessary to change anything. significant how the markets are doing in the final half hour of trading in the u.s. they are still positive that's after a strong recovery on thursday but gains are limited as data shows consumer confidence is born shopping's and fifty four point. nine points this is the lowest level in thirteen years here's the closing picture for friday's session in europe the european markets did for immediately after the opening but have since a recovered to end with very strong results up three percent of the posting pretty much the same gauge the previous session however the latest french economic growth figures are a cause for concern as they show years and second because the quality was stagnant in the second quarter and now for the closing picture in russia where finally we've seen some strong performance that's after a moderately positive session on thursday and after

a men's losses earlier in the week the r.t.s. are three point two percent nice sixteen point two percent let's take a look at the snapshot of market movers in the lukoil unlike other energy shares was not their strong up just point three percent we couldn't the market that's of the pickup but who's that is their profit by fifty percent for the start of the year reaching seven point two billion dollars but investors are not seeing these figures as impressive rosneft up four point four percent of the close meanwhile private gas producer nova tech is up one percent also weaker than the market that's after reporting their profits rising one hundred twenty percent in the second quarter and while prices of moved back into the red territory many are fearing that the market volatility will slow down economic recovery we have seen really very strong volatility this week will drop into as low as seventy five dollars per barrel. now the news industrial production russia rose over five percent the first seven months of the year that was below forecast coverage and was among the fastest
