topic those still rebuilding their shirts at. a very warm welcome this is our see live from moscow with a review of our top stories from the week britain's police a 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 arrests but while the blame game circles they head communities are reclaiming the streets for themselves as lower average reports. goodness i could sure use such 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 paper that going to do the opposite effect they're going to get everywhere very much started checking out stories about young children not so well but children on the streets for the decide if there's not enough police them will help them and just get everyone a wage to accost all the shops and in this push them away basically we don't want to go off to anyone or root cause any trouble which is one of my sure that no one comes into question the shops are open. and it's not just in enfield in other parts of town sikhs have banded together to protect their livelihoods and property sons and daughters come together with us and say let's solve the problems without one to violence and forcing distress to each other which then takes it on. 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 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 of how these things should be done that despite the fact that three young asian men were killed in birmingham early on wednesday. to protect local businesses looters allegedly rammed the with a car the tragedy ignited anger in the asian community a vigilante band attracts all sorts and mentality doesn't just rear its head in looters there's

a huge number of police officers on the streets of england at the moment which many find reassuring but groups like the enfield army proved that communities still feel police are unable to protect them with budget cuts for front line officers still on the table on the beat could get fewer and further between local vigilante we could take up the slack you're at it r.t. . david cameron told m.p.'s this week that the rising with pure and simple criminality london based political analysts who crunch and says it's not obvious who the real criminals are in the i. really would like the british authorities to rethink hard and fast approach their approach needs to be actually addressing the root causes of this which is a forgotten generation than so this is a mass phenomenon this is this is this is a generation that's required hoodies charan'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 moved them for a whole generation it's a social nine eleven we can say i mean you know cameron and miliband were holidaying in the terrain while they're bombing libya in the south mediterranean a common comes back after the first day of writing from his nice little holiday and he calls these young people criminals and the fine water 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. when london based political activist chris knight says the crackdown should not start from the teenagers but from top bankers. the rule of law can't be enforced if it's one law for the rich and one for the poor the rule of law means the same law for everyone we have to start with the most powerful criminals who set fire not only to this country's economy but to the global economy the very beginning of this year the bankers are david cameron

whether they could help themselves to seven billion pounds worth of bonuses and of course cameron said yes help yourself and we're seeing now that in order to pray those bonuses this government is closing down throwing but swimming pools and shopping youth centers it's randomizing the economy it is just so ironic having celebrated the facebook revolution the social media the twitter revolutions and across north africa and the arab world suddenly. decided to clamp down on the media here it's absolutely not the issue the issue is inequality the issue is. what kind of a society are we that drives eleven year old fourteen year old kids to that. mental state you know to burn the local store that that we need action we need we need action not weasel politicians words more analysis and video and r.t. dot com of course when we look at what's behind. the i

don't think there's any political motive the 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 it all and it is gushing and share your view on britain's breakdown started on. the world stock markets have had their roughest week in years after the united states' top tier credit rating was dropped one notch by standard and poor's but columnist michael pettis says the agency's decision is saving america from a worse crisis. american debt is intractable america is the coming insolvent and the secret is getting out and once the chinese fully understand it and once the japanese and the europeans and or foreign creditors all sense of the idea that we can pay back our debt with inflation and monetizing and challenge fitting there will be a time should israel action which will send interest rates to the moon or at least

interesting high single digits and then it will be clear as day that the us isn't solid and that's where the s. and p. standard and poor's is trying to who should be looking angry at you know the fire the way they're being in the mainstream media. all the tables are turning on standard and poor with a not so knee being widely stanford's decision but also a faces in the can inquire on this company just as is necessary because the downgrade may have been wrong for the need to trade is there's clearly an element of legitimacy to investigating insider trading there was an awful lot of rumor mongering that was going on her 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 your truth 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 whether the white house agrees that with its new credit score or not as one number a con to be avoided the fourteen trillion dollar debts for huffington post columnist to eric among gaullist it's america's enormous war spending this. 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 pretty profound it's in the sense that america's military operations are all around the world not too many americans understand is that the costs of the us wars were never equal the taxes are going to be put on the u.s. national credit card that's one of the reasons why the us debt is fourteen trillion

dollars and is growing if americans had to pay for the course these foreign wars and the large military establishment out of their taxes i think that would be a big change public opinion. europe's economy or theater cannot get this week with a big hit is being torn in eating french banks of two thousand with a port for the night that it solve and think with the rest but investors from a unconvinced the country's finances are followed economy what about the kinds of beneath 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 decided 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 reap billions of dollars attacking these banks decided generali is an insolvent institution so is being paid they can't possibly meet their their the credit demands absolutely not well those e.u. nations which own members of the embattled currency called accounting themselves well it's if you're lucky from a poll to be stable in comparison and watching the floundering giros help and then make up their minds today the reports from pendant. 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 here. 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 the 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 is seen as the euro club scene or something very exclusive polls aspired to this they wanted their country to join 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. it 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 eurozone meant pull could not join the party but now it does not have to have. 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 e.u. rules say poland is obliged to adopt the euro once it meets the economic rules for joining but both 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. need for institutional changes in rows on i mean these economic governance of euro zone and crisis management we see some need for

a trend in the eurozone before. they're a good date will be. set up the game has changed and the usual globe everyone once wanted to join may no be the no one wants to accept. looks stupid because you feel the warsaw in poland also there is the syrian leader really. is very worried he'll meet the same treatment that's mubarak is now seeing as the pressure mounts on private and start exposing its operatives we could actually have exhaustion from playing time so go. hungry where journalists a democracy example threatened by new media in order to clamp down on government critics and played on the minds of press freedom as we explain shortly.

three years ago georgia is how calm the people of the small republic of south are set or the five day war in which georgia tried to regain control of its old territories paid hundreds of innocent lives morial services were held in the south of settings capital some ball hundreds of people came to light candles to pray for the victims of the conflict and really just wiping their memory. went to meet with some of those who are still struggling to come to terms with the losses. i come here almost every day i sit and talk to my son so i knew i will lie next to my dear boy. for the last three years. has come to this cemetery in the search area where her son is burritt five days in august 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 is firing line. the only thing that makes her life worth living now is her twenty two year old daughter they now live together in a newly built house to rounded by families with similar tragic stories. in their targets across the street lives of women who lost two children enter 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 all those two thousand and eight when you try to retake control of the downed 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 minute but it

was still carried out peacekeeping mission and tried to be calm. moskos santry enforcement to protect its citizens and prevent more civilian deaths within five days georgian troops had been repelled three weeks later russia recognized the status independence. the last three years have changed the face of this thursday i new residential area where new roads jobs and have been burst and have been built . but signs of the conflict remain this behind my back i got all the good russian peacekeeping poles for those who lived through the horrors of the brief but dudley conflict the memories are still. much in the question will i see reporting from c involves the statue or. not discover more about the painful path to peace in south saturday at all to talk also on why we explore type it relates to

the neighboring georgia. and the opposition came from countries children being forced to study english to make it the dominant language to get generation of young to the identity with mass. in crimea treasure hunting driving the poor to dive deep to shed light on the fate of the historic sites the passionate lanterns find out what the prime minister found at the bottom of the sea as altie dr. international pressure is 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 caught her statement came after government troops that once again crack down on nationwide protests on friday with sixteen people reportedly killed

in the violent arab nations are also against the government crackdowns all civilians c'mon. patrick hayes from the online political magazine spite he's president assad is ignoring public power. 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 so he can be taken seriously or trusted in his promise is a tool. clematis consideration is no largely absent in assad's regime they're clinging on to power but even so in a very tired way there is a sense from assad really be eased by which he started to say this is the end of 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 in a sense i guess messiah they say seems very tired that she's almost willing to relinquish power at the moment but i think that there's a reluctance to want to relinquish power because i suspect he is very worried he will meet the same treatments that some of barack is now seeing. that's new clashes between pro and to gadhafi forces erupted around the coastal town of zawiya in libya a government spokesman says if the rebel help you don't then try to take the town where i was just fifty kilometers from tripoli in rebel forces had to call off the capital to try and months of deadlock earlier they claimed they captured the northern oil town of which the government of knowledge has. reopened in washington

the control of the rebels now. the conflicts been raging for six months killing people despite his intervention. is the law is his presence in libya that's making the situation worse so says iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad he's thinking. about his views on the arab spring and foreign involvement. because 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 so do you ever won the elections would be acceptable for the people but the security council hastily issued a resolution and it is 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 are you saying that at some point in the future you may want to acquire nuclear deterrent

a nuclear weapon how did you never never this is an inhuman weapon our religion says it is great if you know that 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 they themselves the international equations are not determined by nuclear arsenals today the americans have nuclear bombs and nuclear weapons and could they will iraq and afghanistan could the nuclear weapons help the israelis to gain victory a lebanon has got nuclear weapons help the former soviet union from collapse. exclusive interview with president there is that is coming up in less than ten minutes time. a couple of today's all the world headlines in brief this hour under four people have died after a stage collapse during a tour of the indiana state fair in the united states it happened on saturday night

at the fairgrounds in indianapolis strong winds caused the stage rigging for the outdoor concert to fall trapping injuring around forty people. three people have been charged in several more arrested in connection with the sectarian violence that flared up in northern ireland clashes erupted as protesters . continue to their annual marching season in the predominantly catholic city of london derry please the public to avoid the area. now hungary's journalists fear that freedom of speech is taking a major step backwards after the government push through a new media control they say it will seriously stifle reporters from holding hungry leaders to account and view shared at home and abroad will also implies massive layoffs and that's our first found out those opposing the initiative our first in the firing line. evil.

speak no evil at least not about the hung gary in 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 that's the whole message of this. covering broadcast print and online content the controversial new law also established a new media of thirty days working for the media regulator. and by the ruling party and were loyal supporters being selected public service broadcasting is completely controlled by the government there have been some major layoffs and they put. people loyal to the government into key positions at public t.v. and. journalists he voiced criticisms have felt the wrath of the new authority they

were journalists of the public. was introduced. one minute silence in the national radio. and one of them. in effect 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. of line 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 but they have laid the 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 many talented journalists have found themselves and 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 the cool thing serious concerns 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 whole 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 said to radically transform the face of hungary's media so. that a path. with a recap. top stories in just a few minutes they do stay with. us . thanks. you.

feel. to the limited to just see a few physicists. six feet two fish if. it was.

wealthy british scientists saying it's sometimes it's practice. that is their. market i'm a scumbag i know what's really happening to the global economy. for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines.
