the biggest issues get in when voice ceased to face with the news makers. in the headlines this week senior politicians and police take a swipe at each other over the hundley of mass riots in the u.k. and while trade playable words that the local community has mobilized themselves to keep the water on the streets of london it. also sample set year marks three years this week since georgia launched a war that claimed hundreds of innocent lives ulti takes an inside look at how people so try to rebuild that shattered minds. around a week of roller coaster trading the world punching one of the global markets have entered a new dangerous as investors lose confidence in the economic leadership of several key countries.

with the latest news and a review of the week's events this is our see and we start in the u.k. where police and top politicians have continued to play a blame game over handling of the riots in england there was some decades harsh criticism of each other's conformance came after prime minister david cameron claims to appear powerless in the face of disturbances during the first two nights of looting and arson senior politicians were away on holiday when mass riots began in north london after the fatal police shooting of a suspect protesters began smashing shop windows and setting fire to cars and buildings leading to widespread copycat violence over two thousand arrests have been made so far and course i worked around the clock to clear the backlog cases but a lot of police and the government who deserve the credit for quelling the rights groups in local communities. it into their own hands to protect their neighborhoods

auntie's more of it that's. a good result could sure use 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 mall atmosphere a large crowd of young men are out for justice there's been no trouble so far most ordinary people out to protect their communities a lot of people are here to help there obviously are some people that i can to day opposite effects but they're going to get every weapon much started checking all stories of what young children are the children on the streets all the decide if there's not enough police them will help them and just get everyone a wage to coffee shops and this pushing away this we don't want to go off to really cause any trouble we just want to make sure that no one comes in. the shops.

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 undue violence and causing distress to each other which then takes it up. causing further violence in the streets. this is the current faced 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 is the police but it could be all that within town 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's just. the fact that three young

asian men were killed in birmingham early on wednesday trying to protect local businesses looters allegedly rams the with a car the tragedy ignited anger in the asian community. and attract all sorts of more pentel if he 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 prove that communities still feel police are unable to protect them and with budget cuts for frontline officers still on the table bodies on the beat could get fewer and further between local vigilante we could take up the slack nor emmett's r.t. london. and in the wake of intense violence across england david cameron and aus is considering banning people from social networks if they're found guilty of inciting violence through the web but political activists chris knight says a clamp down on media misses the point and down the line cause. if it needs

a revolution to enforce the rule of law so do you the rule of law can't be a force for the rich and one for the poor the rule of law means the same law for everyone is just so ironic having celebrated the facebook revolution the social media the critter revolutions and across north africa and the arab world suddenly. decided to clamp down on the media here it's absolutely not be a souvenir series inequality the issue is is is that the supposed i mean what kind of society are we to drive eleven year olds fourteen year old kids to watch. mental straight you know to burn the local store that that we actually believe we've actually not weasel politicians words. coming up later another nation looked into street protests in syria to see the hard steps the government takes to crush the months long uprising. euro and fighting groups poland as more and more people

a russian peacekeeping mission in the region also came under fire and nursed my of his 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 it was still carried out peacekeeping mission and tried to become. more school sound reinforcement to protect its citizens and prevent more civilian deaths within five days georgian troops had been repelled three weeks later russia recognized the city has independence. the last three years have changed the face of this thursday by new residential air where new roads sharp and have been doing and have been built. but still guys of the conflict remain behind my back are all the luck of the russian peacekeeping force puzzles who lived through the horrors of the brief the deadly conflict the memories are still very raw. but in

the question the r.t. reporting from c. involves the setting. it's been one of the most turbulent weeks and good for the world's financial markets sponsored by the downgrade of america from its aaa credit rating trading saw the biggest volume of shares changing hands since two thousand and eight as panicking investors went on a stunning spree standard and poor's the rating agency behind the move says it made the decision based on an apparent inability of the u.s. government to deal with the problem and the claim was well that there was a bad head who said the loss of confidence in economic leadership in the united states or europe has pushed the markets into a new danger zone however investors now look for a calm week of trading at the you pose as a buyer short selling of financial shares every tail sales gain in the queue at the biggest in four months but is hoping to impose quite obvious eric margolis the u.s. still has the financial troubles and to lying cause its never seen. it demoed

stage for big. growth and. ours will not be too much to the finance. we're not planes in the sense right now we're also in some sense that america's military operations are all around we're also not truly americans understand you know the costs of the labor equal. that's arguably good on the u.s. national credit card and that's one of the reasons why the u.s. jacked its trillion dollars in his growing if americans had paid for the course he's for a. good series. of their taxes i think changed. as troubled investors went looking for new places to put their money another blow has been dealt to the french mind. public to that car fifteen percent off its share value after allegations that it was holding massive amounts of contagious debt and

artie's our own financial guru max kaiser says this could be part of a plan by insiders to crash the french banking system and read the benefits. 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 siding 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 those dead but the insiders around the world who wield the weapons of mass financial destruction are tackling them to force these unrealized debts onto the balance sheet to force the smell police into delinquency into 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 is the here is inception many countries have done their best to join the one city's currency club but that's all changed with the debt to make sweeping through the continent. in our reports watching the euro troubles has given it a fresh perspective. 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 well out of trouble. if we were part of the eurozone then we would have been obliged to help countries like greece and portugal help out someone else without solving our own problems it's almost guaranteed that prices would go up and we join the euro zone literally 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 was seen as something very exclusive polls aspired to that they wanted a country to join the euro now the name of the euro has been sullied by a troubles in greece and italy poles don't want to be dragged into this crisis i think government forced the euro issue to try to bring into the euro zone 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 you rule 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 place very important for us. for institutional changes in. i mean these economic governance a few of them and also some crisis management terms we see some need for action in the eurozone before. target date will be a gain for the game has changed and the euro caught everyone wants wanted to join we now be the integration no one wants to accept alexey richards the odyssey reporting from warsaw in poland. this is our c.n.n.

still ahead for you this hour when building houses mean a building term. peace talks are pushed further into the background as israel starts a new building project just weeks before the u.s. discusses the recognition of a palestinian state. and while threats of tough laws don't lie russian parents do whatever it takes to protect their children from paedophiles slipping through the legal net. at least twenty five people have been reported killed in terrorist lines and c.s. ordered by government forces in syria its key coastal city of latakia the operation continues a brutal crackdown on several cities to root out protesters demanding president bashar assad step down if protests have grown dramatically over the past five months with around two thousand civilians dead after clashes with government forces the continuing bloodshed has caused the international community to line up against the state's handling of the uprising and to demand an immediate end to the violence

and according to patrick hayes a journalist from the online political magazines pranked president assad's recent promise to allow time for the system. is almost ready to surrender. clamping down on freedom of speech and freedom of expression which is the cornerstone of any democracy is not sending out a message from the syrian people that he can be taken seriously or trusted in his promise is a tool there is a sense from a sad really is by which she started to say this is the end of single party rule and he will start to think about elections and the way in which you previously portrayed himself and his party as the only parent thaws 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 this is i guess most of his it seems very tied to that she almost willing to relinquish power at the moment but i

think that there's a reluctance to want to relinquish power because i suspect she is very worried he'll meet the same treatments that some of barack is now seeing. and another trouble country lead there were clashes between colonel gadhafi and the natives supported opposition have raged for half a year claiming thousands of lives but chan than recently returned from a monitoring mission in the country says that libya's oil contracts and potential investments are now a more attractive proposition for some nato members and continuing the conflict this whole nato aggression on libya is looking increasingly embarrassing for the nato countries so it's not just a question of recognizing the benghazi actually i think it's quite clear now it's a race for nato not only to save its own face in trying to extricate itself out of the mess that they've put themselves into but also it's a race to who's going to be the first to kiss good office hand because now with

italy about the default in the euro zone and even the president united states i mean this incredible historic times we're living in warning that the dollar could default world those billions of oil contracts from libya and investments could could come in very handy especially for someone like berlusconi in italy. and iran will not acquire nuclear weapons there is no place but based in human weapon in the twenty first century so says president with my dinner shad i spoke exclusively to r.t. is governor. well you saying that at some point in the future you may want to acquire a nuclear deterrent a nuclear weapon. this is. our religion says it is great if you are going to try 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 you see the international equations are not determined by nuclear arsenals to get. nuclear bombs and nuclear weapons and could they we're going to

continue to weapons help the israelis to gain victory and that's gaza's good nuclear weapons help the former soviet union from collapse. and you can watch the full interview with another shot in just an hour here on r.t. . to. be construction of sixteen hundred weddings in east jerusalem earlier this week and it's planning to raise the number to almost three thousand the building of israeli settlements in the was divine has been a significant returns to palestinians and is one of the major causes of political deadlock in the stations between the two sides israel's announcement comes just a few weeks before they expected a vote recognition of the palestinian authority in the un security council and. believes television is not inclined to reach a compromise he told r.t. the timing of new settlement plans is far from being a coincidence. this is. when it seems

likely that israelis and palestinians will be moving towards the peace talks and that the americans will be the main issue going to block a return to negotiations and continued settlement building by the government of israel let's prove that the government of israel feels pretty immune to any criticism around the world right there on this issue of lourdes busy with a global financial crisis and we all know that mr netanyahu has a lot more support in the american congress to new jersey been in his own parliament so this isn't just be another is really will be more settlements within neighborhoods of used to resign without anyone really blinking and it's not going to help the situation it's not going to hurt it much more than it already hurting. and that some of today's top stories from around the world the brutal terrorist soul has shaken the are going to venture capital i was close to karbala killing at least twenty two that's half of course and it targeted a meeting of top security staff in the governor's official residence the taliban
