the country has seen in decades some took matters into their own hands local communities mobilized to deal with rioters and mobs of looters hell bent on wrecking homes and businesses were and it reports now from london. called jury 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 chased down the road after police ready to drive troublemakers out of town but. despite the mall but 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 going to do the opposite effect you're going to get that everywhere very much started taking our stories of four young children not so well but children on the streets on the decide maybe if there's not enough police then move help them out and just give
6:02 pm
everyone a wage to look after all the shops and that and this push them away basically we don't want to go after anyone over it cause any trouble we just one might sure that no one comes in. the shops open in 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 without undue violence and causing distress to each other 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 if the police were hit if in all that would have been done maybe this is what david cameron means when he took.
6:03 pm
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 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 the car the tragedy ignited anger in the asian community a vigilante attracts all sorts and. doesn't just rear its head in looters there's 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 with budget cuts for front line officers still on the table bobbies on the beat could get fewer and further between while local vigilante groups could take up the slack your emmett's r.t.
6:04 pm
. and in response to the recent rise of britain's prime minister david cameron to curb twitter and other social networks is as when people use internet media to incite violence they need to be stopped but germy corben from the u.k. neighbor party believes any form of censorship will only make things worse. but you can't stop communication what you have to do is assert a moral value within society and encourage young people to believe that 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 britain it also happens to be france and spain and italy and in many other countries across western europe there's a very unpleasant agenda surrounding this which david cameron in part is promoting one is the good salesman to social media such as twitter and facebook and then you suggest to bring in water suggests that putting the army on the street all kinds of draconian measures we have to listen and try and understand not the principles of
6:05 pm
those people to the stealing simply for themselves but the danger to all of this of the very large number of young people who don't feel any any problem with getting involved in it because they don't feel they have a mistaken society as a whole that is a very dangerous thing we've got to learn the lessons from repression won't solve it repression will make it worse censorship won't solve it that will make it worse . going on now a u.s. court has given to americans the green light to two former u.s. defense secretary donald rumsfeld for illegal imprisonment and torture if proven guilty it could mean he could be held pasternak out but while in iraq interview i don't think the two men claimed their phone was engaged in corruption and then the u.s. military reportedly detain them in prison where they were tortured for weeks without explanation or charge and after being released they filed a lawsuit against that which had been rejected by prosecutors until now and
6:06 pm
activist deborah sweet says the case could be seen as a step towards justice there the obama administration has consistently opposed prosecution of bush era officials. i suppose it could go all the way to revealing this sordid business that stands behind this illegitimate occupation of iraq 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 in 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 regimes war criminals in office there's been numerous attempts to seek justice in u.s. courts by people who were detained in guantanamo completely without charges none of
6:07 pm
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 meanwhile u.s. defense who grow increasingly navid that america's military machine may stop with the damage as the government tries to cut spending if congress fails to agree a plan for the second round of deficit reduction by finding a gaping the pentagon may have to shuttle most a trillion dollars in cost of attain gays but as columnist and former candidate douglas macgregor says military spending in the u.s. is so of a blood that such kurds would actually benefit become security. the losses of trillions of dollars along with thousands of people not even addressing the hundreds of thousands of people that have been killed who were muslim arabs or
6:08 pm
afghans and it's all being transparent it's invisible to the american public the american public is finally beginning to connect the dots between the tremendous loss of revenue overseas on these fool's errands that we've been involved with these nation building exercises and the current economic problems at home a strategic imperative for the united states to scale back its investment and defense we should look at at least two trillion because in addition to this thing being too expensive that we have been too involved in too many places in the world we're quite frankly we don't need to be there is no existential military threat to the united states there hasn't been since one thousand nine hundred nine so the argument that there is great risk if we reduce spending and reduce our presence overseas simply doesn't hold up to closer scrutiny easily a trillion dollars could be saved within the first year simply by withdrawing the garrisons that we maintain all over the world. none fine and still in the news on the other side of that line take a short choppy week for europe stocks for euro zone countries have resorted to

6:10 pm
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 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
6:11 pm
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 ventures then i think we could see some civilization in the markets. time for a look at some other news from around the world syrian security forces have been need their clampdown on to regime protesters following friday's prayers when mass riots erupted in several towns at least ten of protestors were shot dead in separate clashes across the country after police opened fire on the crowds that's after american secretary of state hillary clinton called for wider international sanctions on syria the ongoing and red state which began in march is said to have claimed seven hundred lives. at least one person has been killed and around forty injured after a passenger train derailed in central poland it was on the way from also to the southern city of kut to the caring almost three hundred people when the engine of three of the carriages led the tracks rescue teams on the scene say it's still not
