is available in the movie going to join c o two a movie that's the gateway to the grand imperial truly the torch was the. closeness you see don't need to go and. read this in the candle was such a treat. as calls are growing louder for israelis nationwide to join the country's biggest social protests some in tel aviv say the demonstrations are only benefiting the privileged. tense rhetoric between police and politicians in the u.k. as david cameron slams officers for that poor handling of street violence and turning instead the u.s. for advice. on contaminated legacy for native americans in an area that witnessed a uranium mining boom say the u.s. government exploited their land and left them on the edge of extinction.
10:01 am
just after six pm on saturday here in moscow you're watching out c welcome to the program leaders of social protests in israel according to 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 there's assays paula of course there are outsiders in the jewish state fighting a much tougher battle. the protest might be next door to a film on lives but it's going to make little difference to his life he's a refugee from eritrea one of thousands who has found his way to israel but the solace he was hoping for has instead been replaced by anger and frustration at a government he believes is doing too little to help him. israelis here demand cheaper housing is good for them at least they have houses we have nothing we
10:02 am
haven't even 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 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 if i'm not sleeping here and necessarily every night but it's a slimeball it's a tense time for it if you can't get it for an economic situation. like you say next the people are sleeping there because they choose 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 evolved in israel mostly from in
10:03 am
retreat and sudan the government simply doesn't know what to do with him most spend their days struggling to make him his needs while trying not to be picked up by the deportation police many of the refugees don't want to appear on camera but those we've spoken to say that they don't feel a part of this demonstration and accused of being a protester of the privileged danny 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 sound i guess it's a charge the africans are all too familiar with this place we're sitting is a place where very open. stream right wing organizes a rally is against a few jews so all when. you do is
10:04 am
a see white people sitting. in 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 protestors minds they just want a better life for themselves poorly c r t tel aviv. israel is expecting a more demonstrations this saturday night of course we'll be covering those events for you here on r.t. you can find our previous reports from the tent city also on our website as well as artie's facebook page and full i want these tweets from as well on our twitter feed .
10:05 am
welcome back you with r.t. the recent street violence in the u.k. has police and politicians divided over the way the on the rest was but chaos started last saturday in london and spread across parts of the country over the following four days so far just over a third of sixteen hundred people arrested have been charged prime minister david cameron was critical over the initial tactics police used to quell the rampant rioting and looting a senior officers hit back saying politicians were no help against the order and that their return from summer holidays made absolutely no difference courts are
10:06 am
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 meantime 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 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 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 passing is promoting one is the concealment of social media such as twitter and facebook the other. families from the homes because one member of the family has been charged linda. convicted of an offense to do with the events of the past week and then you suggest
10:07 am
to bring levy water cannon suggests putting the army on the street all kinds of measures and we have to listen and try and understand not the principles of those people to stephen simply for themselves but the danger to all of us of the 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 and what a 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 i hear some of the opinions laurie hartmann it otherwise known as the resident court on the streets of the. it's your neighborhood next this week let's talk about that it's. inhumane and
10:08 am
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 and 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 can totally see it happening i think because in taiwan most people have very. high in life they don't want to have this kind of thing happen 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 but they're not to the far like a loser is so horrible and that's right but there are demonstrations in creation but they have a peaceful day with the burn the flag you know but they wouldn't break even though and steal from the story so why are these british people doing that right now i
10:09 am
think is always you know some people started for political reason then that peace around the break and still you know that's. you know in the old days people when they came on hard times just worked hard to try to be harder and you know sort of if they're hard up for sort of 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 now 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 link it happening yesterday at the bottom line is the rise of social media and the growing disparity between social classes could be a recipe for violence anywhere. with r.t. live from moscow and later in our program we find out how to become one of the richest

men in the u.k. but if we have a russian business and i'm enjoying the good life in europe despite knowing the russian government one billion dollars. unwanted side effects the indian government's attempts to support transsexuals has led to some undesirable consequences which i report has been a bit later in the. with aftershocks of the u.s. credit rating downgrade still reverberating all around the world washington has decided to go after those behind the markdown rating agency standard and poor's along with its parent company and now in the crosshairs of the u.s. securities and exchange commission being investigated for over estimating u.s. debt by some two trillion dollars and made much more serious allegations of insider trading and use of the downgrade is reported to have leaked to certain market power players i was full it became official and as financial analyst call it an injury
10:11 am
explains it's likely to lead to a much wider set of downs on rating agencies. the path itself probably doesn't begin or end with an s. and p. i guess 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 those if you know downgrades coming in your short term market prior to that 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 regards to why have an insider trading been investigated in the general sense the lehmann brothers for example was known by some other court of counterparty 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 with all to you live from moscow it's good
