bankruptcy of measure from banks 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 enjoyed their life outside russia it's the state and its people that have to carry the burden of their losses carry of r.t. moscow. a court has allowed it to us to suit donald rumsfeld over their alleged illegal imprisonment and torture or they worked as private security contractors in iraq while in that country the two men who made claims their firm was engaged in corruption shortly after they say they were then detained for nine months at a military facility and punished before being released without explanation or even any charges the lawsuit against the former u.s. defense secretary had previously been rejected by prosecutors activist debra sweet so now is the time for those who have been silent over the past to speak out.
7:18 am
massive cases of stealing selling alcohol to iraqi forces of pride hariri and all sorts of the things that we know and we knew were going on when billions of dollars are involved in 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 congratulate. donald fance and nathan or tell for fighting through to try to get this story out and i and as they said it is really important
7:19 am
for other whistleblowers to come forward and controversy surrounds the current u.s. defense secretary leon panetta is trying to swim against the current of major cuts in government spending and claims and he will reductions after those already imposed would threaten that national security but also his military contributors says the main threats the u.s. is facing cannot be solved by military means any. what it was really regrettable was their own panellists persistent state of denial and that this is only the first stage of the pentagon budget cuts to be followed inevitably lead to second round. his comments i'm not even beginning to consider what's going to happen there and claiming that such cuts would be disastrous and completely unacceptable those kind of statements could be construed and perceived as the white house as
7:20 am
a slightly bailed insubordination if not that outright sabotage 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 the real challenges to the united states have nothing to do with the threats that could be or should be terrible by conventional military so it's an hour twenty minutes past the hour here in the russian capital let's get back to our top story of course of the aftermath 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 could this happen in that country to hear some of the opinions. otherwise known as the resident as you call these statements on the streets of the big guy. this.
7:21 am
is your neighborhood next to speak let's talk about that it's. inhumane and barbaric and i think bad 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. high in 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 if you are going crazy but not to the far like a looting is so horrible and the tries but there are considerations in creation about their peaceful day with the burn the flag you know but they wouldn't break
7:22 am
even though and steal from the story so why are these british people doing that right now i think is always you know some people start to for political reason then that the surrounded break and still you know that's that's what happens you know in the old days people when they came on hard times just work a bit harder try to get harder and you know sort of if they're hard or percent of the hard luck or is 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 and their isp a push published in that era with the stream of history running the same course. so what can we do to change it if anything. not a damn thing whether or not you think the lincoln happening yesterday and the bottom line is the rise of social media and the growing disparity between social classes could be a recipe for violence anywhere. with
