saturday afternoon here in moscow you're watching r t with me rory sushi welcome to the program tensions deepened in the u.k. between politicians and police over the recent street mayhem which so more than one thousand six hundred arrests david cameron said the police made mistakes with the tactics but top cops they hit back slamming the prime minister for claiming credit but quoting the rioters instead they said that the return of politicians from their holidays didn't make any difference whatsoever in a move that's only likely to add fuel to the flames caverns that now turn to the advice of us police chiefs on how to tackle gang violence jeremy corbyn from the u.k. labor party says there's a whole list of measures currently on the table which will only make a bad situation worse. the reason increasing impoverishment of poor young people particularly in the big cities of this country and it's a very uncomfortable less than a lot of politicians are going to learn that something's got to be done and fast to

bring these people these young people back into the mainstream of society there's a very unpleasant agenda surrounding this which david cameron in part is promoting one is that could tell me to social media such as twitter and facebook the other is eviction of whole families from homes because one member of the family has been charged convicted of an offense to do with the events of the past week and then you suggest to bring the water cameron says yes the putting the army on the street all kinds of kone and measures that we have to listen and try and understand not the principles of 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 any stake in society as a whole and 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 will make it. and later in

the program here we hit the streets of new york to people that think the english. people are disappointed with leadership various parts of the world and they are rising up and trying to do something about it if you go back in history and look at the eight hundred for example you'll see many of the same comments. history reversed course. what can we do to change any thank. you with. a melting in israel for a fresh round of mass protests all across the country. rallies have been in the streets for about a month now with protesters demanding cheaper housing and social justice but there's another camp in tel aviv with its activists there claiming understand what

the lack of social justice really is. explains. the protest might be next door to a film our lives but it's going to make little difference to his life he's a refugee from a tree or one of thousands who's found his way to israel but the solace he was hoping for has instead been replaced by anger and frustration at a government he believes is doing too little to help him. the israelis here demand cheaper housing good for them at least they have houses we have nothing we haven't even got a roof over our heads let alone an expensive one but it's not only cheaper houses that these protesters want they're demanding a new government one that will charge less taxes provide free education and cancel privatization of state owned companies changes that the poorest neighborhoods of tel aviv need the most but i want to please people here are not demonstrating while

thousands of israelis might be able to pitch up here in protest many immigrants can't even afford to buy a tent to live in people are not sleeping here and necessarily every night but it's a sample that the tents here are for for that if you've got the rare for the economic situation. like you say next to us people are sleeping there not because they choose to put their tent outside it is just because they don't have any other place to go in the last few years tens of thousands of refugees and asylum seekers have revived in israel mostly from in the tree and sudan the government simply doesn't know what to do with him most spend their days struggling to make ends meet while trying not to be picked up by the deportation police many of the refugees don't want to appear on camera but those with spoken to say that they don't feel a part of this demonstration and accuse it of being a protest of the privileged danny parrots is really he's a builder divorced and jobless he's here because he blames the government for the

fact that he can't pay his bills but he also points a finger at the african my. winds or. form are free. and if i want to find something i guess it's a charge the africans are all too familiar with this place we're sitting is a place where very often. big stream right wing organizes the rallies against the fuji's soul when. a refugee is a seeing a white people sitting. in they they they feel that they don't belong to that place which means that a protest for social justice has essentially become a protest for only a few if you're really or if you really want to come out for better rights you have to come out for the basic right for the rights of the refugee here in israel right here. but for now the rights of the

refugees are the last thing on these protestors minds they just want a better life for themselves poorly c r t tel aviv. all right now i still have for you this hour here on our team could yet another russian billionaire taking time behind bars and report on why. enjoying a glamorous life in the u.k. is wanted by russian investigators. changing gender with a government run so we follow the controversial parts of transsexuals in india. the standard and poor's rating agency is facing an inquiry after it stripped the u.s. of its top aaa rating last week at the time s. and p. received a furious response from the u.s. treasury which blamed the agency of making a two trillion dollar mistake the u.s. security and exchange commission is now investigating the company of allegations of

insider trading before the country's rating change was officially announced as a financial analyst a call denon just says this is just the start of a full scale probe into the activities of credit rating agencies. the path itself probably doesn't begin or end with him if impede my guess is the investigation is going to find. if it's not just an arm waving to show there were some extra all parties but had nothing to do with s. and p. made a great deal of money on friday there is clearly a political element to this if you know what downgrades coming in you're short the market prior to that you could make a great deal of money that is a serious concern if we have weeks within the system like there's a good question in regards to why has an insider trading been investigated in the general sense lehman brothers for example was known by some of their card counter parties to be functionally bankrupt for some time prior to when they went under and yet nobody at the federal reserve or the new york fed or anyone else bothered to

say anything to anybody. it without a lot from moscow and all the boom of the one hundred forty years in the us made mines sprout up like mushrooms in parts of the state of arizona but eventually the need for nuclear fuel declined and after decades the facilities were abandoned and left to contaminate the environment now disease from radiation threatens to leave indigenous people extinct in the area but as all trees were important to reports nobody seems to. this ne part of arizona a compass is part of america's navajo nation native american governor territory rich in your rainy i'm ruined by the us is demand for the top top it's a different world we don't have money we don't have the funds the people from the dominant society have we also have conditions we're trying to live through like living in the abandon your a new mary is here and drinking the contaminated waters that we had drank in the beginning in one nine hundred forty four nearly four million tonnes of uranium ore

making it on to the u.k.'s rich list have become a common thing just like russian investigators and taking an interest in their affairs currently in the spotlight is a former senator who's buying the state more than one billion dollars following one of the biggest financial scandals in russian history. reports the case has exposed drastic drawbacks in the country's banking regulation. he has everything a fortune in several banks a couple of private jets and numerous properties from the called dizzier to london married to a russo british socialite he was a guest at prince albert sorel wedding in monaco among the top ten richest people

in the u.k. according to last year's sunday times newspaper. leads a life many would envy he even made his wife a star of a t.v. advertising campaign in france for the grand french food store it is yeah that here however all that is hardly a consolation at home in russia where he owes billions of rubles to his bank's creditors. as a result of misconduct and violations by the management and founders of measure drawn by its creditors suffered damages totally more than one billion dollars. last year the international industrial bank known in russian as missed from bank was the first private bank to default on euro bonds in more than ten years it received a more than one billion dollar loan from the state as part of the anti-crisis support program but the state has not been returned the money nor have all the creditors been paid off get the book out among the bank it was mr begats jobs

pocket bank that caters varies various businesses in the wake of its license being revoked if they practically halted its operations and focused on transferring the assets through credits to show companies that move it on and on and in the end of the money probably ended up in the structures affiliated with the owner of the bank or which will come on the banks database was deliberately erased and investigators say the bankruptcy was intentional it's the largest bankruptcy case of a financial institution in russia's modern history along with the bank the rest of the guts of the business empire seems to have to solved into other offshore assets a similar scandal broke out with the bank of moscow russia's fifth largest bank the review revealed a gaping hole in the books with bad loans totaling at nine billion. dollars or nearly a third of its assets the former head of the bank is also hiding in london the bankruptcy of mushroom bank last year and the recent downfall of the bank of moscow revealed that the country is in desperate need of stronger banking supervision and

while those responsible for the damage enjoy their life outside russia it's the state and its people that have to carry the burden of their losses. r.t. moscow. a court has allowed to us men to sue donald rumsfeld over their alleged illegal imprisonment and torture while they worked as private security contractors in iraq while they were in iraq the two men who made claims that was engaged in corruption shortly after they say they were then detained for nine months at a military facility beaten and punished before being released without explanation or any charges that all suit against the full u.s. defense secretary had previously been rejected by prosecutors activist debra sweet says it's time for those who are silent now to speak up. massive cases of stealing 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 the 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 can't gradually. donald fance and nathan or tell for fighting through to try to get the story out and as they said it is really important for other whistleblowers to come forward. controversy surrounds the current u.s. defense secretary leon panetta is trying to swim against the current of major cuts

in government spending he claims that he will reductions after those already imposed would threaten national security but also use a military contributors that is the main threats the u.s. is facing can't be solved by military means anyway but what it was really regrettable was lay on panetta as persistent state over denial and that this is only the first stage of the pentagon budget cuts to be followed inevitably read this second round it's. his comments that i'm not even beginning to consider what would happen and claiming that such cuts would be disastrous and completely unacceptable those kind of statements could be construed and perceived at the white house as a slightly veiled in subordination if not that outright sabotage all of their bipartisan efforts to make the pentagon lean and mean make no mistake the only

reason he was appointed to realize that in the new twenty first century not the imagery but they're real challenges to the united states have nothing to do with the threats that could be or should be tackled by conventional military twenty minutes past the hour now here are mostly let's get back to our top story here of course the mouth of the british riots while the blame game is in full swing between those responsible for dealing with the unrest people around the world are wondering how this could happen to the country i hear some of the opinions laurie huff and otherwise known as the resident a quote on the streets of the big apple. it's your neighborhood next this week let's talk about that it's. inhumane and barbaric

and i think that unfortunately around the country we have situations where people are disappointed with leadership and various parts of the world and they're rising up and trying to do something about it whether you're in the middle east in europe you know fortunately we haven't had that type of unrest here in the states but i could totally see it happening i think because in taiwan most people have very. light your fire life so they don't want to have this kind of thing happen but if they were angry enough that what was going on do you think that would push them to the limit. yes yes sometimes like in the election times people are going crazy about it but they're not to the far like the looting is so horrible and the tries but there were demonstrations in creation but they were peaceful day with the burn the flag you know but they wouldn't break even though and steal from the store you know so why are these british people doing that right now. it's always you know some people started for political reason then that leaves around that break and

still you know that's that's what happens and you know in the old days people when they came on hard times just worked a bit harder try to bit harder and you know sort of if they had hard luck they said i've got hard luck whereas now everybody expects everything behind them on the plate you know so if you go back in history and look at the hundred for example you'll see many of the same comments in the newspapers published in that era so it's the stream of history reading the same course. so what can we do to change it if anything. not a damn thing whether or not you think looting can happen in your city and the bottom line is the rise of social media and the growing disparity between social classes could be a recipe for violence anywhere. r.t. let's check out some other international headlines from around the world this hour activists say government tanks have been deployed in the syrian coastal city of

latakia. a day earlier the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton urged all countries to cut economic and political ties with syria comments came after government troops once again crack down on nationwide protests on friday with sixteen people reportedly killed in the violence activists say the uprising which began in march has claimed more than one thousand seven hundred lives. italy's government has approved forty five billion euros in emergency austerity measures over the next two years cuts double those initially proposed by the country's leadership balancing the budget by two thousand and thirteen in response to demand by the european central bank days after the milan stock market suffered its sharpest one day drop since the two thousand and eight financial crisis a previous round of spending cuts announced in july aim to balance the budget by two thousand and fourteen. germany's marking the fiftieth anniversary of the day

a derogatory word for transsexuals we do believe that my brothers beat me up and kicked me out of the house because they did not like the way i behaved to dress and was attracted towards men so instead of committing suicide i decided they would give me happiness to live with other heroes like me. sukey moved in with other transsexuals and decided to complete her transgender journey screened by doctors to ensure she was psychologically ready for the consequences of sex reassignment surgery or us are at least she had the operation and like all transsexuals in this part of india it was paid for entirely by the government all of them women we. already had their. homes there. to be more only the external. despite the fact that the indian government only decriminalized homosexuals. that cure here if they go the other feet of tamil nadu had some of the

most progressive laws in the world for transsexuals the state government decided three years ago to fully fund that reassignment surgery the argument was these people had been discriminated against for so was that it was up to the government to help them out but that's tough without a job few firms will employ these trans women share a house and work as sex workers in china more than we were beggars before now with the help of cosmetics will look more feminine or and so we became sex workers prostitution is illegal in india and some who work with the community believe that the government inadvertently helping fuel an illegal business since transsexuals can earn more after gender reassignment but has a lot of resorting to six walk me through very few want to do numbers for trading in those income generation or something like that only able to rely on themselves and each other these women know and accept their faith in him among the

retort we have been cast out of our homes in society i like this life along i live for my happiness we found our homes because we were forced to get married my happiness is my priority no one and i have no regrets what the. more rights get fewer opportunities but these transsexuals wouldn't have it any other way preassure either our teeny chennai india. or the nearly two thirty pm on saturday here in moscow you with all to you i'll be back with the headlines in just a. for
