got a roof over our heads let alone an expensive one but it's not only cheaper that these protesters want they're demanding a new government one level charge less taxes provide free education and cancel privatization of state owned companies changes that the poorest neighborhoods of television need the most but i want to the 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 it but i'm not sleeping here and this is there every night but it's that angle it's the tense here are it's time for for that if you've got the. economic situation. like you say next to us being there because they choose to work there then 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
9:03 am
in israel mostly from in a 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 and 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 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. if i want to find something i am it's a charge the africans are all too familiar with this place we're sitting is a place where very open. string right wing organizes the rallies against a right for jews saul when
9:04 am
a road food. producers see white people sitting. in the field 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 protestors minds they just want a better life for themselves policy r.t. tel aviv. i don't run is expecting more demonstrations this saturday night and we'll be covering those events for you right here on r.t. you can also find our previous reports from the tent city on our website also on our he's a facebook page follow paula slayer's tweets from israel and our twitter feed.

it's. about you without any recent street violence in the u.k. has police and politicians are divided over the way the on raft 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 sixteen hundred people arrested have now been charged prime minister david cameron was critical of over the initial tactics police used to quell the rampant rioting and looting but senior officers hit back saying politicians were no help against the disorder and their return from summer holidays made up salute the
9:06 am
no difference courts are now working overnight to deal with alleged 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 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 that's not a lot of politicians are going to learn that something's got to be done fast to bring these people these young people back into the mainstream of society and there's a very unpleasant agenda surrounding this which david cameron in part is promoting one is they could scale most of 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 in the. here are the feds to do with the events of the past week and then
9:07 am
you suggest the brazilian water cannon suggested putting the army on the street all kinds of trick only and measures and we have to listen and try and understand not the principles of those people to the stephen simply them selves but the danger to all of the sort of 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 and that is a very dangerous thing that 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 worse. while the blame game is in full swing between those responsible for dealing with the rest people all around the world wondering if the same could happen in their country now coming here are some of the opinions are lower heart minister otherwise known as the rest of the quote on the streets of the big apple.
9:08 am
is your name right 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 in 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 a very. fine lifestyle they don't want to have this kind of thing happen but if they were angry enough at 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 they're far like a losing is so horrible and the press but there were demonstrations in creation but they were peaceful day with the burn the flag or you know but they wouldn't the great giving billions feel from the story so why are these british people doing
9:09 am
that right now i think is always you know some people stuck up for political reason and peace around the break and still you know that's that's what happens and you know in the old days people when when they came on hard times just worked harder tried harder and you know sort of if they had hard look they set up a 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 hundred for example you'll see many of the same comments and there is papers published in that era with the stream of history where in the same course. so what can we do to change it if anything. 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 anywhere.
