video. feed now with the. british courts race to read the riot act to those behind the recent looting and violence but human rights groups say cuse judges of laying down disproportionate just. stopped by trade at the international air show in moscow and the nerves of steel for russia's premier pilots as they take archie on a white knuckle ride. also. show a unique exchange of know how russian prostrate the first military defense joint venture more and that's in business all to you twenty minutes. away here the syrian voices who are glad to see the army move into their towns even

as rights after the queues the syrian government of atrocities against protesters. it's nine am here in moscow you're watching our team live with me and you see now in our top story this hour british courts are coming down hard on the rioters to spread mayhem last week but human rights groups are accusing judges of overreacting by dishing out severe penalties to score popularity points two men were jailed for four years each for trying to incite street violence through facebook but prime minister david cameron defended it saying it sends a tough message argues i regret it reports now from london. four years behind bars for the riot that didn't even happen jordan black sure and perry sutcliffe kenan were banged up for inciting disorder on facebook no one turned up after their

invitation to riot which they later said was a drunken joke but now they face sentences even tougher than most looters and i worry is that it is an imbalance a four year sentence for example would normally be given to somebody for a grievous bodily harm for holding someone up with a naive or even for. some form of sexual assault so it seems to me that. there is a danger that the courts are moving into disproportionate territory and that actually devalues our response to more serious crimes the government's encouraged to cause the dish out harsh sentences by using the public disturbance as an aggravating factor it's meant this man anderson fernandez could even be sent to jail for think of just two scoops of ice cream because like this one of the nine bail to most offenders and ignoring any claims of previous good character of the one thousand two hundred seventy seven people charged so far two thirds are being

reminded in custody that's way up on last year's rate for serious crimes this is just ten percent some offenders even being made homeless is their punishment with local governments taking away their houses but many say it's all simply cause more harm than good i think this is very unwise the move to remove people from housing interim of benefits because actually if we are saying that some of the crime that we saw on the streets was an expression of people not feeling power to society not feel important work immunities then these measures are actually going to push it further away from society further away from our communities and far more likely to commit crime the facebook case is the first sign of the government's desire to crack down on social media sites like twitter were applauded by the west for mobilizing the masses in the arab world but they were also instrumental in the u.k. riots so now the prime minister wants it to stop. we are working with the police

the intelligence services and industry to look at whether it would be right to stop people communicating via these websites and services when we know they are plotting violence disorder and criminality when social media fueled revolutions in egypt and she needs britain called it democracy but now the shoe's on the other foot and troubles closer to home i'm very conscious we knew you know the. movement. thought we we thought we. were going to war. the prime minister says this is where britain fights back and it's this fighting fire with fire that only fanned the flames of civil disorder our hope and it's artsy london. well london's police say they've charged over a thousand people over the riots were aiming to convey three times that number was a commentator david bowden says the government's response is a family attempt to regain control. i think the question you have to ask yourself

whether they will actually restore much wealth or to your credibility by cracking down in quite severe and often incoherent why people who won't necessarily heavily involved in the problem you have to the question of the decline of wealth or three within societies a long running social problem is a very complex one to deal with but i think we can safely say that the kind of people who were throwing out the streets and shakuhachi police officers he was visibly sharing in their enjoyment at the weekend appreciate felicity not necessarily be shaken from their actions because a teenager in very safe and when he said that he thought the rights were a good idea has given community service i think we're seeing quite a superficial and dangerous kneejerk reaction now from the police and the authorities they try to reclaim that or protect it superficially seem to be behind it quite severe sentences often playing quite a minor role in the riots and it's dangerous because we'll see. by meijer reaction

to people using social networking sites to say they want to have a rights even if they haven't followed up with organizing the rights itself which is already i think. the distinction between action and speech so you have one of the cases where somebody was trying to organize a rights which obviously is a crime and something you want to deal with quite seriously and you have somebody else who said he wanted to organize a right to go to extreme lengths to try you're going to raise that as it was your job and he's been treated exactly the same severity now it's big numbers big deals and show stopping starts at the markets twenty eleven terror so in moscow and our team is there. among those stealing the limelight is the latest russian stealth fighter seen here the t fifty which debuted on wednesday its line up among the best in its process

with america's twenty two fighter here it is so and what it can do for the crowds at the max twenty eleven its global debut but it's not all about military hardware the big names in civilian aviation are there too including boeing and airbus and while they're selling an easy ride for air travelers take a look at these guys these are the russian knights and the switch that takes a lot to put these aircraft through manic maneuvers that you're seeing here as our g.'s tom barton discover from some. engine. instruments. runway check. and then it's take up with the russian aerobatic display team as models their nine first class pilots have performed over two hundred times in the past nineteen years but they all have to start somewhere. andre is training to join the team he thinks he's nearly good enough now but still

remembers his first flight as a so pilot. without any warning they told me i was going to do the next flight on my own i had no time to be scared it was no longer an instructor who went back it was unforgettable takeoff you're on your own controlling the plane then when you land you've done it i think you're a real pilot at that point. he has moves are always trying to hold them a new version they practice most weekends thinking of new tricks and practicing old ones like a form of the temple or whatever but we come up with stunts and then research them but it often turns out if you've been done before mystery of a russian came up with the loot and all the other stunts are based on the loop the loop is the basis for all aerial acrobatics. however it always comes down to time in the air even with years of flying and training experience between them it never becomes easy with the most so when you leave the cockpit or you can

squeeze a gallon of swig from your suit your knees are shaking because it's extremely difficult stressful and anyone with fuel. so with that gut wrenching fare ringing in my ears i was told it was my to the crowds on the ground this is an exciting spectacle but that's not quite the emotion that's going through my mind at the moment because i'm about to see what happens from inside the cockpit. we did the loop the loop all the planes just meters apart. it. it. but when it came to the fountain i nearly blacked out. white faced but not defeated i returned. it can kick the shit. if the.

kid. can't. get a. kick to it to get it. but i could also see some of the streams that go through. this newsgroup and just you know he might speak for the crowds in syria like robotics arm to shoot at the pilots it's always a difficult job that a terrorist a pilot has to show his skill and the beauty of flight so next time you look up at them speeding planes spare a thought for the pilots and someone. from bottom to. stay with us throughout the week for the best. carousel and for our team's first class conference. closest. approach.

to future flights. are some tips to the max pair show. i thought the u.n. human rights change might push for syria to face the instructional criminal court for its lethal crackdown on protesters over eighteen hundred people are believed to have been killed across the country since the government moved to quell the uprising that started in march president assad claims his military operation has not stopped even so the presence of troops is apparently not always seen as a bad sign as well as a notion or reports. the city of there is maybe liberated but in the last few days it suffered a brutal occupation i mean my family's eyes bandits blocked the raids put up barricades in the game a case city we were hiding we were just like hostages for more than a week reclaim the army fought against armed groups that had taken control of the

city and had been terrorizing its residents. soldiers of the syrian army i live in the city of the iraqi border measure officials are saying operation is now over that the city has been freed from armed groups as you can see people are welcome in the soldiers as the waiters but in other parts of the country the troops lead in assad's vicious crackdown are far less welcome in a similar offensive against so-called terrorists in the coastal city of latakia the opposition claims government troops killed almost fall to civilians while human rights groups report a number of deaths in the country could be almost as high as two thousand some say assad is simply using his army to silence peaceful demonstrators across the country over the lords of the syrian army hasn't met a resistance in the cities across the country we're going to maybe there was some

so-called bandits among protestors and maybe they use the momentum to spread cants but if so where have they been when the army. armed groups is just a theory invented by the state they have an excuse in the cities. in new liberated there is or life seems question back to normal in markets reopened and roads just days ago were empty hourigan filled with cars but reminders of the recent troubles arms to hard to find and the most obvious one is fear most refused to talk to our camera. too scared of jail sounds opponents say to me is the real objective and was science meucci operation if that's the case it seems to have been achieved griffin ocean r t syria. well the origins of the uprising so clear cut globalization analysts michel just told r.t.

and some of the so-called peace so protesters are packing some serious firepower i've been following this day by day since it started it made march in in daraa in the southern city of daraa and what we heard is islam is. salafi as well as muslim brotherhood gone by. shooting at civilians as well as shooting at police and israeli sources actually could further but these militia and i quote aren't with heavy machine guns they see the big won't see that this is all the protest movement because that seems to be the the media consensus but then they say the protesters are armed with machine guns and. now since way not peaceful civilian protesters armed with heavy machine

guns so that the question we have to ask ourselves who is the source of this killing what are the what are the underlying causes of this of this insurrection. i was the director of the center for research on globalization michel chossudovsky so i drew here on our chaney as a merchant seemed to struggle to stop the damage of japan's fukushima nuclear power plant and suggested the facility was june before it would be earthquake and tsunami that's coming up. to.

review the latest in the sun some six months from. the future coverage. for watching our team live from moscow for militants have been killed in russel's republic of china in the north caucasus chechen president rose on can do the operation to help prevent a series of attacks planned in the area but you know question of a has more on the reach an ongoing war on terror. the latest information that we have received is

coming from change now where during an unseen gratian a group of militants have been killed and one of these has already been identified he was one of the high profile terrorists working in the region of russia's north caucasus he was also preparing suicide bombers as well as he was questioning future attacks in the region the identification of the others is now in process the heart of the chechen republic arms on a bit of thought that this operation was planned and prepared in advance meanwhile of this day was also marked by and not the rate that happens in the neighboring republic of dagestan where a group of militants attacked a column of the russian military forces two russian servicemen were killed and in a fighting that broke out later another six militants were killed everyone is on high alert and just recently basically at the same time and

a very close to bilocation of the fighting russian federal security service as a defused a bomb with a massive amount of one hundred kilograms of t.n.t. according to russia's. another large scale attack or was it prevented this time on the russian railways in the moscow region in july why the special forces the number of terror attacks that went up by thirty percent in the first half of this year. the focus shimon nuclear power plant operator in japan has admitted it's behind schedule and cleaning up the heavily radioactive water that's flooding the facility the reactors were severely damaged following the earthquake and tsunami in march and i've been leaking radioactive material since workers also reported radioactive steam and merging from cracks in the ground under the facility and new evidence has emerged that just most of the damage was done during the trauma and not after the tsunami struck through it's raising concerns that the plant built actor tectonic

region was jews from the start and which a patch should have ended you know and actually. it was very silly to reactors on on what what is clearly a fault line and in an area where there are known to be. quakes and we see the result of having done that you cannot really believe that you can cage these things and expect them to come out and then not have these sorts of accidents and other accidents will occur in the future and these accidents are so terrifying and the consequences of them are so poorly that really we cannot afford truth this method of generating electricity because you can't stop it because not because that would bring the whole of japan to a halt because it depends so much from nuclear power looks like the steam is coming out and we know that the steam contains sulfur thirty five and effectively we're producing a very large quantities of radium provides all the time and they haven't been able

to deal with that is just being ignored is being it's being is not being adequately reported by the authorities in japan or indeed in the its own international atomic energy agency. arjen dot com is always online for you with the news you choose to watch your stomach what we've got lined up for you today as the u.s. looks to ditch the debt of some dollars looks to cut back but it's veterans pensions not more funding that are in the firing line. and a massive make over four miles of moscow pavements but some enterprising builders are taking a spot of creative concrete work when the bricks run out and take a look at r.t. dot com and head to our youtube channel for more of our video. that's

coming up to george has just gone i should say twenty one minutes past the hour a look now at some world news in brief and indeed an anti-convulsant campaigner who is on hunger strike has struck a deal with police to move his protest from behind bars on the has already had been allowed to leave jail or refused to go until he was given permission first protest continuous hunger strike in a park the news of his release was greeted with cheers from hundreds of supporters who gathered outside his cell. quotes plans this explain saw thousands protest in madrid over the cost of paying for it six people were arrested and two policemen injured during scuffles as protesters chanted the pope's visit not with my taxes over the seventeen million euro cost of the trip to benedict the

sixteenth is due to arrive in the capital later on thursday to mark world youth day . rebels have been finding for. all refineries with forces loyal to colonel gadhafi and that we are fifty kilometers from tripoli they are going to the only functioning oil facility to try and drive troops out and their presence around the capital the rebel field commander claims they have shut down a pipeline and have surrounded the refinery meanwhile state media reports that colonel gadhafi is ill and need of urgent medical treatment outside libya. it's clear that over six hundred tons of oil could spill from the ruptured oil pipeline in the north sea off scotland that's of diverse fail to plug the leak in more than two hundred tons of oil already poured into the sea in what is britain's worst spill in a decade so has a range contingencies if the worst happens but green groups say exam it has already been done and will take years to repair. and just

a few minutes we'll talk to one of the men behind russian's answer to silicon valley first it's a business with dimitri. and loom welcome to suppose the morning business updates while the crowds at the moscow show look sky was on the ground more deals are being made a new joint venture has been asked to tween russia's rostik knology and french aerospace companies suffer from the c.e.o. of stuff from small business so it's either multi-million the eurostar also will work on states of the or maybe the actions that stems. you are very very few. countries in the world master of the bible particularly provide extreme accuracy i'm very gay sure nobody here critical of the weapons i mean there is about two or three countries worldwide but a good week to get here but see the dream or

a false you from. a he's very very significant reggie wise. secular markets this was the morning crude is losing ground off to climbing to the highest level in almost three weeks concerns about global economic recovery away on the price however the we could always giving some support brant lenders trading still at over one hundred ten dollars per barrel light sweet is just over eighty seven. asian stocks i love following mild gains on wall street in tokyo exporters are leading the losses on a strong young master was down around four percent and toshiba declined more than two and. go trading will begin one hour post the r.t.s. my six had a strong session on wednesday but again around two percent the graph was mainly supported by stronger crude which managed to reach the two week mark. while russian

markets again in recovery momentum eager for higher from troika dialog believes the mid to long term trend will mostly depend on how crude performs. the market is mostly drooled by sentiment right now and right now it's absolutely unpredictable the sentiment can change just in fifteen minutes for example yesterday the markets almost ignored the negative statistics on inflation from the united states but you can't say for sure that the ignores the statistic from europe or from that it's these negatives that he seems to be right now the market is very nervous in short term you can't predict and i think liquidity is so good and i would expect even better liquidity in the coming months so i wouldn't expect. all price at all just commodity prices going down significantly and that's usually very good for russia as long as it will stay in the high level i think all these drops and kind of

motion in the markets is just because. this why we're kind of recommending as long as well prices are high and if you see sharp drop in the market just to use it to buy. and to some economic figures now russian gross domestic product has risen three point seven cents in the first half slightly below forecasts the government still expects the country's economy to expand by four point two percent this year meanwhile the sad that russia needs to work hard to meet the targets. for business that he will be back in around fifty minutes time with the opening figures for the arts yes.

we'll. bring you the latest in science strength and courage from the realms. we've dumped the future of coverage. takes fifteen to twenty million years for the planet to recover from a major extinction event the planet has time we don't. it's been going on for months twenty forty five years and since there's been an eco terrorist before there was even islamic fundamentalist terrorists in this country ninety nine eleven happened the bush administration could not find any terrorists because the feds couldn't find any real terrorists they decided to take these young people who

are accused of property sabotage and label as terrorists someone he'll destroy his property. with absolutely zero intention of harming a single human being. in my mind is not a terrorist real people who are green in this country are the housewives who recycle. and the children who play trees on the weekend with her cub scout troops that's the. type of. sound. if. and if if.

if if. if. it was all caught up. this is true still keeps in sequence of announced times in the field of the soviet files and ati so. that's. the sound.
