it's 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 results as paula reports 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a refugee from eritrea one of thousands who has found his way to israel but the solace he was hoping for has instead been replaced by anger and frustration at a government he believes is doing too little to help him.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 houses good for them at least they have houses but 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 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 slimeball that dance here hours 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 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 evolved in israel mostly from him a traitor 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 that we've spoken to say that they don't feel

a part of this demonstration and accuse it of being a protest of the privileged. 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 migrants. oh. 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 jews saw when. a refuge is a see white 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 paula c r t tel aviv and israel and so expect 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 all these facebook page and follow i want to support tweets from israel on our twitter feed.

welcome back you with r.t. the recent history of violence in the u.k. has police and politicians divided over the way the unrest was handled the 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 the 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 but senior officers hit back saying politicians were no help against the order and that their return from summer holidays it made absolutely 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 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 where. 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 and fast to bring these people these young people back into the mainstream society there's a very unpleasant agenda surrounding this which david cameron in past is promoting one is the title meant 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 a new deal. convicted of an offense to do with the events of the past week and then suggests bringing in water can suggest the putting the army on the street all kinds of kone and measures and 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 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 we've got to learn lessons from repression won't solve it repression will make it worse censorship won't solve it that will make it worse and 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 here some of the opinions laurie half and otherwise known as the resident caught on the streets of the big. 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 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 could totally see it happening i think because in taiwan most people have very. light your fire 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 people are going crazy 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 stuck to for political reason then that they've sat 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 or is 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 and there is papers 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 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 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. with the story of 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 are a little 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 they'd much more serious allegations of insider trading of the downgrade is reported to have leaked to certain market power players i was before it became official and as financial analyst a college debt injury explains it's likely to lead to a much wider set of crackdowns on rating agencies. the path that probably doesn't begin or end with a mess in peace my guess is that the investigation is going to find if the if it's not just an arm waving to show that 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 those if you know it downgrades coming in you short the 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 like 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 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 with all to you live from moscow it's good of you to join us today now in the late forty's and fifty's when the uranium boom was in full swing in the united states numerous mines mushrooms and parts of arizona but when it demanded dried up the facilities were abandoned leaving an environmental hazard in their wake and it's also used portnoy reports of radiation poisoning now
