some top politicians in the u.k. have continued to play a blame game and the handling of the riots in england the west and decades harsh criticism of each other's performance came after prime minister david cameron claims the force appeared polished in the face of disturbances during the first two nights of looting and arson senior politicians were away on holiday when last 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 of violence over two thousand the rest have been made so far and calls are worked around the clock to clear the block not the cases but while police and the government who deserves the credit for quelling the riots groups and local communities took it into their own hands to protect their neighborhoods are his lawyer and that some of them. are very good because i can assure you that 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 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 you're going to get that everywhere pretty much started it's taken all stories about young children not so well but children on the streets although with the start maybe if there's no enough police help them and just get everyone away just look after all the shops and that and this push them away basically we don't want to go after anyone any trouble we just want to make sure that no one comes in. shops. and it's not just in enfield in other parts of town seeks have banded together to protect their livelihoods property sons and daughters come together with us and say let's solve the problems without undue violence and. causing distress to which.

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 if the police were hit all that would have been 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 trying to protect local businesses looters allegedly rammed the with the car the tragedy ignited anger in the asian community

a vigilante band attracts all sorts and to tell us 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 groups like the enfield army proof that community is still feel police are unable to protect them and with budget cuts for front line officers still on the table on the beach could get fewer and further between local vigilante groups could take up the slack. in the wake of intense looting and violence across england david cameron announced his considering buying people from social networks if they're found guilty of inciting violence through the web but political activists chris knights has a clampdown on media misses the point and fails to address the underlying causes. if it needs a revolution to enforce the rule of law so be it 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 is just so ironic having celebrated the facebook revolution the social media the twitter revolutions and across north africa and the arab world suddenly there's side of the clampdown on the media here it's absolutely not the issue the issue is inequality the and the issue is is is that they're supposed to be what kind of a society are we that drives eleven year olds fourteen year old kids to that. mental state to burn the local store that that we actually we need we need action not weasel politicians words. another nation looked into street protests is syria see the harsh government take the current day months long uprising. and also the program the year and find to grips poland as more and more people review their position on adopting this single currency and saying they don't want to pay for the mistakes of the. it's been three years this week since georgia launched

shares changing hands as two thousand and eight as panic investors went on a second 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 echoing the claim was rabbit so like they wild bankhead said the loss of confidence in economic leadership in the united states and europe has pushed markets interim new dangerous however investors now look for a calm week of trading as the new poses a buying and short selling of punish or share as i see every tail sales game in the us the biggest in four months but as huffington post columnist eric margolis says the u.s. still has to address the financial troubles underlying cause it's never ending. it demoed states were being under invaded growth from outside powers will no grants be too much to pay for defense but we're not paying for the defense right now we're pretty close and 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 its wars were never equal. it's arguably put on the u.s. national credit card that's one of the reasons why the us. trillion dollars and is growing if americans have to pay through the course the piece for the large military sounds out of their taxes i think that would be a big change public opinion. yes troubled investors went looking for new places to put their money and not a blow has been dealt to the french bank societe generale. said of that comment fifteen percent off its share value after allegations that it was holding massive amounts of contagious debt. and financial guru max kaiser says this could be part of a plan by insiders to crush the french banking system and the benefits of 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. and b. 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 debts but the insiders around the world who wield the weapons of mass financial destruction are tackling that to force these unrealized it onto their balance sheet to force these companies 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 credit demands absolutely not so as the years inception many countries have done their best to join the once

elite currency club but that's all changed with the debt plague sweeping through the continent and a look see here cesky reports watching the euro troubles has given old hopefuls 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 its currency. there is a widespread belief in the country that being outside the euro has helped keep poland. 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 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 something very exclusive polls

aspired to they wanted their country to join now the name of 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 both 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. the need for institutional changes in the eurozone i mean these economic governance of euro zone and also some crisis management we see some need for a turn in the euro zone before. target date will be. set up the game has changed and the you look love everyone wants wanted to join may now be the invitation no one wants to accept. it looks stupid because you from warsaw in poland. still ahead for you this hour when building houses mean building tensions peace talks or into the background as these are all starting new building projects just weeks before the u.n. discusses the recognition of

a palestinian state. and while threats of tough laws don't work russian parents do whatever it takes to protect their children from paedophiles slipping from their legal net. at least twenty five people have been reported killed in turn of london c. are sold by government forces in serious key coastal city of latakia the operation continues a brutal crackdown. on several cities to root out protesters demanding president. step down the protests have down 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 the journalists from the online political magazine spiked president assad's recent promise to allow a multi-party system good signifier but he's 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 to the syrian people so he can be taken seriously or trusted in his promise is that all there is a sense from assad really is 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 we should previously portrayed himself and his party as the only guarantors of syrian stability but is now talking about major constitutional reforms reassert really there's a real uncertainty about what. he's trying to do sense i guess my side is a seems very tired that he 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'll meet the same treatments that some of barack is now seeing and another troubled

country leave there were clashes between colonel gadhafi and the natives supported a position have raged for humphrey get training thousands of lines but that chant down he recently returned from a monitoring mission in the country said that levy is all contracts and potential investments and now and 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 council and 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 to default in the euro zone and even the president united states on this incredible historic times we're living in warning that the dollar could default well those billions off of oil contracts for libya and investments could

any criticism around the world right there on this issue everyone is busy with the global financial crisis and we all know that mr netanyahu has a lot more support in the american congress than he does even in his own parliament so this isn't just be another is really active building more settlements within neighborhoods of east jerusalem 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. some today some of today's top stories from around the world terrorist has shaken the of the provincial capital of tracking or close to kabul killing at least twenty two that reportedly targeted and meeting a top security staff in the governor's official residence the taliban has claimed responsibility for the onslaught that left the compound and ruins have done a stone has suffered a series of similar toxin prominent government officials in recent weeks. you know which in government who confessed to shooting sixty nine people in an island youth
