george's deadly military offensive visits the republic to meet them still building their shattered lives. a very warm welcome to you this is r.t. live from moscow britain's police are 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 a two thousand arrests but while the blame game circles overhead communities are reclaiming the streets for themselves or at reports. their goodness are called 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 going to do the opposite effect you're going to get that everywhere pretty much started taking our stories up with young children not so well but children on the streets rather with the start maybe if there's no enough police then move them and just get everyone the way just look after all the shops and in this push them away basically we don't want to go after anyone nor will it cause any trouble we just want to make sure that no one comes in. shops up in the road and it's not just in enfield in other parts of town seeks 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 then takes it on. causing for the violence.

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 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 proved 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 nor am it r.t. . or david cameron told m.p.'s this week of the rioting was pure and simple criminality bunton based turnedon says it's not that obvious who the will criminals are in the unrest. really would like the british authorities to rethink hard and fast their approach their approach needs to be actually addressing the root causes of this which is a forgotten 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. gangster so that's the way they've

been treated by this 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 social nine eleven we can say i mean you know cameron and johnson and miliband will holidaying and the terrain while they're bombing libya on 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 defying law and 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. the london based his client chris knight says the crackdown should not start on the teenagers from the top but. 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. david cameron whether

they could help themselves to seven billion pounds worth of bonuses and of course cameron said yes help yourself we're seeing now that in order to appraise our has been a series this government is closing down throwing but swimming pools and shutting youth centers and it's randomizing the economy gets just so ironic having a celebrated the facebook revolution the social media the twitter revolutions and across north africa and the arab world suddenly there's side of the clamp down on the media here it's absolutely not the issue the issue is inequality the and the issue is is. what kind of a society are we that drives eleven year olds 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. well more analysis in videos that r.t. dot com where we look at what's behind britain's worst rides in thirty years.

i don't think there's any political motive at all for this they're not attacking the police and not attacking official buildings they're attacking shoe shops and businesses and stealing whatever they can carry join the discussion and share your view on britain's breakdown it's party dot com. now 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 economist of michael panting says the agency's decision is saving america from a worse crisis. american debt is intractable america is becoming insolvent and the shooter is getting out and once the chinese fully understand it and watch the japanese and the europeans and or foreign creditors all the sense of the idea that we can't pay it back without inflation and martyre you and

charging there will be. sure to be option which will send interest rates to the moon or at least interesting high single digits and then it will be clear as the day that the us is insolvent and that's where the end should be. trying to who should be you look. at you the florida we're there to be in the mainstream media. now the tables are turning on a stand that imposes not anything why these plans for his decision but also faces and legal inquiry financial analysts a call that in just says it's 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 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 inquiry is legitimate. now whether the white house agrees with this new credit score or not there's one number that can't be avoided the fourteen trillion dollar debt the huffington post con this egmont galluses america's enormous war spending that's at its root. if the united states were being under invaded growth from outside powers will no grants be too much to pay for the friends but we're not paying for defense right now we're going through also since in the sense that america's military operations are all around the world not to really americans understand is that the costs of the u.s. wars were never of equal to taxes are going to be put on the u.s. national credit card that's one of the reasons why the he was down trillion dollars

in his grueling if americans had paid for the course of these foreign wars and the large military sounds out of their taxes i think there would be a big change public opinion. where europe's economy also took a knock this week with the big carrot is being drawn in beating french banks four thousand and four for the nih the solvency was there with pot investors remain unconvinced the country's finances are solid. kinds of things the french banking system won't 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 tacking them to force these on realize debt onto their balance sheet to force its properties into delinquency into foreclosure because they are going to reap billions of dollars attacking these banks the side of general is an insolvent institution so is b. and p. they can't possibly meet their or their the credit demands absolutely not. well those evil nations which on to the embers of the embattled euro currency club account in themselves relatively lucky some are positively stable in comparison and watching the floundering gear is helping them make up their minds as the 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 that 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 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. 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 euro zone meant poland 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 e.u. rules say poland is obliged to adopt 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 but very important for us. need for institutional changes. in the eurozone i mean the economy governance of euro zone and also some crisis management as we see some need for

a turn in the euro zone before. target date will be. set up the game has changed and the euro everyone once wanted to join may now be the no one wants to accept. we called you from warsaw poland. still ahead for you this hour is the syrian leader really listening. to his very words he will meet the same treatments that's mubarak is now seen as the pressure mounts on a part of our experts interpret his recent actions as exhaustion from clinging to power for so long. last we travel to hungary where journalists a democracy is under threat by new media laws which clamp down on government critics they said on the violence press freedom this week spring short. three

years ago georgia launched an attack on the people of the small public of south ossetia the five day war in which georgia try to regain control of its old territories hundreds of innocent lives morial services were held in the south as their capital hundreds of people came to light candles to pray for the victims of the conflict i released white balloons and their memory. of i 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 in self-assertion where her son is burritt five days two thousand and eight split her life into a before and after. her son daughter a magical 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 round it by fam. 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 all those 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 wrong fire when you know it was going to be our last night but was

still carried out peacekeeping mission and tried to be calm. moskos 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 recognize the city has independence. the last three years have changed the face of the state i new residential area where new roads jobs and have been burst a new g.m. 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 deadly conflict the memories are still very raw. reporting from sea involved. with discover more about the painful path to peace. called also online weeks before the targeted relations with

a neighbor in georgia are the observation from a conference children of being forced to study english to make it the dominant language but if your generation of youngsters now five density breast implants. premier treasure hunting buddy would have brought in dive deep to shed light on the fate of a historic site called program to find out what the prime minister filed at the bottom of the sea at r.t. dot com. international pressure is mounting on the syrian leadership with the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton calling for economic and political time for the country to be card statement came the government chips once again crackdown on nationwide protests on friday the sixteen people reportedly killed in the violence

nations all say lining up against the government crackdowns on civilians demanding the violence stops immediately patrick hangs from the line political magazine it spikes and president i'll start ignoring the 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 power but even so in a very tired way there is a sense from a really that the ease 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 the sense i get from assad is that he seems very tired 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 he is very worried he will meet the same treatments that some of barack is now seeing. one elsewhere in the arab world complex new clashes between the pro and anti the death forces erupted around the coastal towns are we in libya a government spokesman says fifty rebels for repel fly to fire and try to take the town so we are just fifty kilometers from tripoli and rebel forces hope to cut off the capital to try and then months of death lot they claim they captured the northern oil town of which the government denies the libyan embassy reopened in washington under the control of the rebels the national transitional council the

complex been raging for six months killing thousands of people despite his intervention. and is the law is his presence in the area that's making the situation worse says iranian president. he. says kevin i would about his views on the arab spring and foreign involvement. from turner simple have. security council has made a mistake i don't know 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 should you ever won the elections would be acceptable for the people of it for the security council hastily issued a resolution and it was 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 a nuclear deterrent a nuclear weapon how did you never know about this is an inhuman weapon our

religion says it is great 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 goes a nuclear weapons help the former soviet union from collapse. the losses of interview with president within earshot is coming your way in around ten minutes time. now a couple of today's world stories least four people have died on a stage collapse during a storm at the indiana state fair in the united states is something nice the fairgrounds in indianapolis strong winds called the stage of the outdoor concert of

. around forty people. three people in charge and several more arrested in connection with the sectarian violence that flared up in northern ireland clashes erupted is protestants continued that. in the predominantly catholic city of london derry. members of the public to avoid their. hungary's journalists fear that freedom of speech is taking a major step backwards after the government pushed through a new media control law they say it will seriously stifle reporters from holding congress leaders to account if you share at home and abroad it also implies that massive layoffs of us are further about those opposing the initiative off. evil see no evil speak no evil at least not if it's about the hunger area and government opinions of hungary's new media low claim their 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 of this law covering broadcast print and online content the controversial new law also established a new media authority that these working for the media regulate all chosen by the ruling party and were loyal supporters before being selected public service broadcasting is completely controlled by the government there have been some major layoffs and put. people loyal to the government into key positions that public public t.v. channels journalists he voice criticism have felt the wrath of the new authority they were journalists of the public. was introduced.

one minute silence in the national radio. suspended and one of them. left the radio. in effect he was dismissed and the other one was fired hundreds of others have suffered the same fate with a wave of layoffs across the industry this is contributed to an uneasy situation in the media here want to keep their jobs. of line some argue 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 and many talented journalists have found themselves out of the job. it's not just. the. recent firings and uncertainty about the implications of the new law just some of the recent events to look cool zing serious concerns about hungary's democratic future every 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 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. to better. i think just a few minutes take away. for

the full story if we've got it first hand the biggest issues get the human voice face to face with the news makers on our t.v. . you. tube the limited to just say the food to. feed. if. if was.
