four pm on saturday here in moscow watching r.t. with me. welcome to the program leaders of social protest in israel are calling for people to bolster demonstrations all across the country over the last month up to three hundred thousand people in tel aviv have been demanding cheaper housing and social justice but as artie's paula reports there are outsiders in the jewish state fighting a much tougher battle. to protest might be next door to a film on lives but it's going to make a 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 be replaced by anger and frustration at a government he believes is going to just hold to hold him. israelis here demand cheaper houses good for them at least they have found. we have nothing we haven't
8:02 am
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 wonderful charge less taxes provide free education and cancel privatisation of state owned companies changes that the poorest neighborhoods of tel aviv need the most but i want to keep people here are not to mistreating the 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 it but i'm not sleeping here in this area every night but it's time it's a bit tense here are four afraid that if you got there to pay rent for the economic situation. like you say next to us people are sleeping there not because they choose to put them out so 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
8:03 am
to do with him most spend their days struggling to make is neat 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 they don't feel a part of this demonstration and accuse of being a protester of the privileged. parents 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 migrants. it's a charge the africans are all too familiar with this place where sitting is the brits where very often. room right wing organizes the rallies against a few jews saw. refuge is
8:04 am
a see what people are 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 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. but for now the rights of the refugees are the last thing on these protesters minds they just want a better life for themselves policy r.t. tel aviv. and israel is expecting a more demonstrations this saturday night and of course will be covering those events for you here on r t now you can find our previous reports as well from the tent city on our website also on our facebook page and make sure you follow paula sleepers tweets from israel on our r.t. twitter feed.

welcome back it with r.t. the recent history of violence in the u.k. has police and politicians divided over the way beyond rest was handled the chaos started last saturday in london and spread all across the country over the following four days so far just over a third of the one thousand six hundred people arrested have been charged prime minister david cameron was critical over the initial tactics police used to quell the rampant rioting looting but senior officers hit back saying politicians were no help against the disorder and that their return from summer holidays made absolutely no difference courts are working overnight to deal with alleged
8:06 am
offenders and hundreds of extra police are expected to remain on the streets until at least next week cameron has now turned to a former prominent us police chief for advice on handling gang violence but 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. there is an increasing impoverishment of poor young people particularly in the big cities of this country and it's a very uncomfortable lest know a lot of politicians are called that something's got to be done fast to bring these people these young people back into the society mainstream. there's a very unpleasant agenda surrounding this which david cameron in part is promoting one is the could tell them through 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 victim of an offense to do with the events of the past week and then
8:07 am
suggests a bringing in water can suggest putting the army on the street all kinds of measures we have to listen and try and understand not the principles of those people to stephen simply selves but the danger to all of us of the very large number of young people who go feel any any problem with getting involved because they feel they have a mistaken society as a whole and that is a very dangerous thing that we've got some of the lessons from repression won't solve it repression will make it worse censorship won't solve it will make it worse . while the blame game is in full swing between those responsible for dealing with people all around the world wondering if the same could happen in their country here are some of the opinions laurie harkness otherwise known as the resident caught on the streets of the pickup. is your neighbor right next week let's talk about it's. inhumane barbaric.
8:08 am
unfortunately around the country we have situations where people are disappointed with leadership in various parts of the world and they are rising up and trying to do something about it but if you're in the middle east in europe you know fortunately we haven't had one rest here in the states but i can totally see it i think because in taiwan. very. might find life want to. be. if they were angry enough at what was going on i think that would push them to the limit. think yes yes sometimes like in the election times you are going crazy but not to their thought like a losing it is so horrible. by david that on stations in creation but they have a peaceful day with the burn the flag you know but they wouldn't the break they've been doing still from the story so why are these british people doing that right
8:09 am
now i think is always you know some people stuck to for political reason then they . break and still you know it's it's look at this you know in the old days people when they came on hard times just worked a bit harder try to get harder and you know sort of if they had hard luck this sort of got hard look whereas now everybody expects everything behind them on the plate you know so if you go back in history and look at the eight hundred for example you'll see many of the same comments in the newspapers published in that era now 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 looting can happen in your city at the bottom line is the rise of social media and the growing disparity between social classes could be a recipe for violence anyway. later in the program we find out how to become one of the richest men in the u.k.
8:10 am

8:11 am
end with him if indeed my guess is that the investigation is going to find if be if it's not just an arm waving to show that there were some extra all parties that had nothing to do with us and he made a great deal of money on friday there is clearly a political element to this if you know it downgrades coming in you short the market prior to there you could make a great deal of money and that is a serious concern if we have weeks within the system there's a good question in regards to why have an insider trading been investigated in the general sense lehmann brothers for example was known by some other part of our party will be functionally bankrupt for some time prior to when they went under and yet nobody of the sort of reserve or the new york fed or anyone else bothered to say anything to anybody. but with r.t. it's good to have you with us today now in the late forty's and early fifty's when the ukrainian boom was in full swing and the us numerous mines and mushrooms in
