recent street violence in the u.k. has police and politicians divided over the way the unrest was handled and chaos started last saturday in london and spread across 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 call the rampant rioting and looting and senior officers hit back saying politicians were no help against the disorder and that their return from the summer holidays made no difference courts are working overnight to deal with alleged offenders and hundreds
12:06 pm
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 called in 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 of the big cities of this country and it's a very uncomfortable lest know a lot of politicians are called something 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 part is promoting one is the could scale months 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 leave convicted of an offense to do with the events of the past week and then you suggest the bring in water cannon suggests the putting the army on the
12:07 pm
screen all kinds of quick only and measures that we have to listen and try and understand not the principles of those people the stealing simply from 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 don't feel they have a mistaken 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 unrest people all around the world are wondering if the same could happen in their country or some of the opinions laurie hottest otherwise known as the resident gathered on the streets of the big apple. is your name right next this week let's talk about that it's. inhumane and barbaric
12:08 pm
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 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 an election times you are going crazy but not to the far like a losing is so horrible and the tries but there have been inspirations in creation but they were peaceful there 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 think is always you know some people started for political reason
12:09 pm
then that they've 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 worked hard to try to get harder and you know sort of if they had hard luck to set up a hard look whereas now everybody expects 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 in the risk reverse problems and that are there 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 and the bottom line is the rise of social media and the growing disparity between social classes could be a recipe for violence anywhere. and later in our program our team will be finding out how to become one of the richest men in the u.k.
