this week says georgia's deadly military offensive r.c. visits the republic series though still rebuilding their shattered lives. a very warm welcome this is live from moscow with a review of the top stories of the week britain's police are furious about prime minister david cameron's plan to consult a former american police chief on how to tackle street violence there's already tension between them following the riots and looting which have led to more than two thousand a rests but while the blame game circles overhead communities are reclaiming the streets for themselves as the image reports. jury a warning to looters around five hundred mainly young men chased down the road after police ready to drive troublemakers out of town. despite the

mob atmosphere a large crowd of young men are out for justice there's been no trouble so far most are ordinary people out to protect their communities a lot of people are here to help there obviously are some people that are going to do the opposite effect but they're going to get that everywhere pretty much started taking our stories up with young children not i will but children on the streets for the decide if there's no enough police they move them and just get everyone the wage the cost to the shops and in this push them away basically we don't want to go off to anyone or root cause any trouble we just want to make sure that no one comes in. no shops open. and it's not just in enfield in other parts of town sikhs have banded together to protect their livelihoods and property and sons and daughters come together with us and say let's solve the problems with out on do violence and causing distress to trouble which is. causing

the violence in the streets. this is the current face of communities across england many of which felt under siege from looters and said in their darkest hour the police were nowhere to be seen police have not been anywhere where if the police if the police were hit if in all that would have been done maybe this is what david cameron means when he talks constantly about the big society handing power and responsibility back to local communities and i think the scenes we all saw our television screens last night of communities coming together to try and stop violence taking place was a model how these things should be done that despite the fact that three young asian men were killed in birmingham early on wednesday trying to protect local businesses looters allegedly rammed them with a car the tragedy ignited anger in the asian community a vigilante band attracts all sorts and more ben tell us he doesn't just rear its

head in looters business huge number of police officers on the streets of england at the moment which many find reassuring but groups like the enfield army proves that communities still feel police are unable to protect them with budget cuts for front line officers still on the table bobbies on the beat could get fewer and further between while the local vigilante group could take up the slack your emmet r.t. . well david cameron told m.p.'s this week that the rioting was pure and simple criminality london based. downsizes not that of the real criminals are in their rest. really would like the british authorities to rethink hard and fast they approach their approach needs to be actually addressing the root causes of this which is a four go and generation these two didn't cut themselves this is a mass phenomenon this is this is this is a generation that's been called hoodies child's. gangsta that's the way they've

been treated by the system and by people in the community so why are we surprised that they behave in the way that we've laid them for a whole generation it's social nine eleven we can say i mean you know cameron and johnson and miliband will holidaying in with the terrain while they're bombing libya in the south mediterranean common comes back after the first day of writing from his nice little holiday and he calls these young people criminals and the defying rule in order this is the same person who was directly responsible for the massacring by nato of eighty five civilians that same night including thirty five children so let's get some perspective here who's the real criminal in this situation. and i think the public while the gap difficult to bridge. this is completely in crisis and the motivations. but i suppose the central one of course is inequality and

internal civic life to begin situations that are completely out of touch whether it be the media replete force or politicians themselves david cameron who went to the most expensive schools in the country has no knowledge of the huge insecurities and inequalities raging right across this country the idea of david cameron calling the police force massive. the idea of shrinking the economy to grow it as a sort of religion together with a mass consumerist religion here wanting to buy more and more expensive goods for us. more analysis video at our home where we know what's behind britain's what's right in thirty years. i don't think there's any political motive or tool for this they're not attacking the police are not attacking official buildings they're attacking shoe shops and businesses and and stealing whatever they can carry. join the discussion and share your views on britain's breakdown aid assy dot

stand on boards is trying to who they should be looking. at you know the kind of the way they're being in the mainstream media. all the tables the turning on standard and poor's is not only being why these clowns praised decision but also faces a legal inquiry financial unless called then it just says it's necessary because the downgrade may have been wrong for heat. there's clearly an element of legitimacy to investigating insider trading there was an awful lot of rumor mongering that was going on earth the downgrade in this case the rumor turned out to be correct and there was a huge swing in the market on friday prior to the downgrade be issued so clearly some people knew in advance and the question is who are those people and how did they get that information because it is clearly improper under u.s. law to trade on material nonpublic information if you have it so to that extent the inquiries would you. know what of the white house agrees with this new credit score

or not those that one number that can't be avoided the fourteen trillion dollars dead falling to a place called nest erica among america's enormous war spending that that has ranged. if the united states were being under invaded growth from outside powers will no crisis be too much to pay for france but we're not paying for defense right now we're paying for all sense in the sense that america's military operations are all around the world not too many americans understand is that the costs of these wars were never equal to taxes to be put on the u.s. national credit card that's one of the reasons why the us has fourteen trillion dollars in his grueling if americans had to pay through the course of these foreign wars and the large military establishment out of their taxes i think there would be a big change public opinion when europe's economy also took

a knock this week with the big kate is being torn in deeper needing friendship bank for three thousand one hundred of us for the nih that is solvent say with at risk investors remained unconvinced the country's finances all thought as economy watch the kind that many of the french banking system when to pull three. the french banks are loaded with toxic derivatives that were sold to them by american investment banks and the american investment banks plus the rating agencies plus the hedge funds are now attacking these french banks they know where the bodies are buried and they're using the weapons that they sold them to attack them for society generale and b.n.p. and credit agricole are insolvent their balance sheets are six to ten times bigger in terms of the debt that they carry than they could possibly service but it's carried on the shadow banking system they don't report this debt but the insiders around the world who wield the weapons of mass financial destruction are taxing

them to force these unrealized debts onto their balance sheet to force these companies into delinquency into a foreclosure because they are going to rape again billions of dollars attacking these banks these banks are insolvent society generali is an insolvent institution so is being paid they can't possibly meet their they're there to credit demands absolutely not. well the nations which aren't members of the. current accounting themselves well it's a very lucky thought positively stable in comparison watching the floundering garry's helping them make up their minds their reports from poland. while parts of europe have been teetering on the edge of economic abyss poland has remained stable in the storm along with this currency. there is a widespread belief in the country that being outside the euro has helped keep poland out of trouble. if we were part of the eurozone then we would have been

obliged to help countries like greece and portugal how can we help out someone else without solving our own problems it's almost guaranteed that prices would go up but we join the euro zone which would damage my business recent opinion polls suggest that more than sixty percent of balls want to keep their own currency a dramatic turnaround from just a few years back a few years ago the euro was seen as the euro club scene or something very exclusive polls aspired to this they wanted their country to join the euro now the name of the euro has been sullied by the troubles in greece and italy poles don't want to be dragged into this crisis if the government forced the euro issue try to bring poland. could be political suicide poland has fared much better than many of its e.u. partners in the global crisis several countries like greece ireland and portugal are on the brink of disaster partly due to a boring binge allowed by your membership and associated low interest rates being

outside the euro zone meant to pull and could not join the party but now it does not have the hangover poland was meant to have the euro by next year the time when the country is co-hosting the twenty twelve european football championship but with the latest developments these plans may be shelved for another four years if you rule say poland is a blog. to drop the euro once it meets the economic rules for joining but polish politicians are now much cooler on the idea with minister saying the eurozone needs to get its house in order first place very important for us. the need for institutional changes. in the eurozone i mean these economic governance of euro zone and also some crisis management as we see some need for change in the euro zone before. target date will be.

set up the game has changed and the euro club everyone once wanted to join me now would be the invitation no one wants to accept. it looks odd to you from warsaw poland. still ahead for you this hour is the syrian leader really listening. to his very words you'll meet the same treatment that's mubarak is now seen as the pressure mounts on president asked our experts to interpret his recent actions as exhaustion from clinging to power for so long. last that we travel to angry where journalists a democracy is under threat by new media laws which are probably down on government critics they say it undermines press freedom as we explain shortly. three years ago georgia launched on the people of the small public a sample set

a year the five day war in which georgia tried to regain control of its all territories it claimed hundreds of innocent lives memorial services were held in south said his capital some ball hundreds of people came to light candles to pray for the victims of the conflict i released white balloons their memory of these within a quarter of a went to meet with some of those who are still struggling to come to terms with the loss. i come here almost every day i sit and talk to my son so i knew i would lie next to my dear boy. for the last three years. has come to this cemetery where her son is burritt five days unorganised two thousand and eight split her life into a before and after. when her son daughter a medical college graduate heard the republic's capital teen vaal was under attack from georgia she rushed home to help the injured she died in her arms as they lay trapped for days under the rubble of their apartment block that was in the georgian

alterian firing line. the only thing that makes her life worth living now is her twenty year old daughter. they now live together in a newly built house to rounded by families with similar tragic stories. in the totes across the street lives of woman who lost two children and to the house opposite lives a man who lost both his wife and his child. all these people are victims of georgia's military aggression in august two thousand and eight when you try to retake control of the breakaway republic of south ossetia a russian peacekeeping mission in the region also came under fire nursed my abuse dive i was on duty with them and witnessed average thing that happened that night for i saw him violent fire when you know it was going to be our last night but was still carried out peacekeeping mission and tried to be calm. most cool sound

trained force meant to protect its citizens and prevent more civilian deaths within five days georgian troops had been repelled three weeks later russia recognized such as independence. the last three years have changed the face of this thursday i new residential air where new roads jobs and invest in new zealand have been built. signs of the conflict remain behind my back. to good russian peacekeeping. for those who lived through the horrors of the brief but dadley conflict the memories are still very raw. much in the question of reporting from sea involved. or discover more about the painful to peace the south has said here at all to dot com also online we explore the turbulent relations with the neighboring georgia of the opposition claims the country's children are being forced to study english to make it the dominant language putting

a generation of youngsters national identity at risk plus. premier treasure hunting buddy with roots and dies do you see shed light on the fate of an historic site called the russian atlantis find out what the prime minister found at the bottom of the sea. now international pressure is the mounting on the syrian leadership with the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton calling for economic and political ties with the country to be cut his statement came out to government troops and once again crackdown on nationwide protests on friday with sixteen people reportedly killed in the violence of nations received lining up against the government crackdown on

civilians demanding the violence stops immediately project gains from the online political magazine this fight he's president of fun is ignoring the people at his peril. clamping down on freedom of speech and freedom of expression which is the cornerstone of any democracy is not sending out a message to the syrian people that he can be taken seriously or trusted in his promise is a tool of diplomatic consideration is no largely absent in assad's regime they're clinging on to of power but even so in a very tired way there is a sense from a serb really be eased by which she started to say this is the end of you know single party rule and he will start to think about elections and the way in which he previously portrayed himself and his party as the only guarantors of syrian stability but is now talking about major constitutional reforms means that really there's

a real uncertainty about what he's trying to do there very isolated they don't really know where they go into a kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place they don't know what to do but the sense i get this is seems very toys that she almost willing to relinquish power at the moment but i think there's a reluctance to want to relinquish power because i suspect is very worried he will meet the same treatments that smirk is now seeing. while elsewhere in the arab world conflicts new clashes in between pro and ticket athan forces that around the coastal town in libya a government spokesman says fifty rebels. repelled by two fire tried to take the town so it's just fifty kilometers from tripoli in rebel forces to cut off the capital to try and end months of deadlock. in the capture they captured robbed of the northern oil town of which the government denies the libyan embassy. under the control of the rebels national transitional council conflicts been raging for six

months killing thousands of people despite his intervention. and it's the airlines his presence in libya that's making the situation worse was rainy and president maskhadov willing to be speaking exclusively to kevin owen about his views on the arab spring and foreign involvement. the security council has made a mistake instead of sending bombs and planes to libya they should have sent mediation groups in order to prepare for free elections under the auspices of the un and whoever won the elections would be acceptable for the people but the security council hastily issued a resolution and it has complicated the situation that has led to the killings and the massacre of people and destruction of infrastructure in the country let me just get this straight. some point in the future you may want to acquire a nuclear deterrent a nuclear weapon how did you never know this is an inhuman weapon our religion says

it is. and we are religious people if any country tries to build a nuclear bomb in fact they waste their money and resources and they create great danger that the international equations are not determined by nuclear arsenals today the americans have nuclear bombs and nuclear weapons and could they win in iraq and afghanistan could the nuclear weapons help the israelis to gain victory of . nuclear weapons help the former soviet union from collapse. lost his exclusive interview with president. hungry journalists fear that freedom of speech is making a major step back with the government push through a new media control or they say it will fear is stifle reporters from holding to account having shared at home and abroad the law also implies massive layoffs and as our first found out those opposing the initiatives are in the firing line.

weevils see no evil speak no evil at least not about the hung garion government opinions of hungary's new media low claim that journalists are being silenced. it's about hiding things and hiding the truth and not covering controversy over issues. of the government and that's the whole message of this of this law covering broadcast print and online content the controversial new law also established a new media authority the days when working for the media regulated. by the ruling party and were loyal supporters being selected its public service broadcasting is completely controlled by the government there had been some measure of the office and put. people loyal to the government into key positions that public public

t.v. channels journalists he voiced criticism have felt the wrath of the new authority they were journalists of the public. was introduced they have one minute silence in the national radio. and one of them. left their radio. in fact he was then the other one was fired hundreds of others have suffered the same fate with the wave of layoffs across the industry this is contributed to an uneasy situation in the media here who want to keep their jobs and now. out of line it's so murky the shakeups a good thing and that the layoffs in hungary's a very inflated public media sector has been long. this government has not only talking and been talking about people off because they saw that it is unsustainable

. so i think. this debate has become. very politicized it's more about politics than about professional commerce. if something is unsustainable you have to cut costs that the day has been strongly contested and many talented journalists have found themselves out of the job. is not transparent to. the people on the basis. of. the recent firings and uncertainty about the implications of the new law just some of the recent events of the cooling serious concern about hungary's democratic. everything more critic government needs an independent media so if this government thinks that it can oversee the whole

media it can influence the whole mediate can regulate the media it's a very. very bad ground despite heavy criticism from both within the country and internationally the government is sticking by the new media laws and the changes they could bring could be set to radically transform the face of hungary's media so it's a bit of panic. about what happened to him. lysol me take away.
