british courts race to read the riot act to those behind the recent looting and violence for human rights groups like yours judges only lang down disproportionate justice. top white trade at the international air show in moscow and nerves of steel for russia's premier pilots as they take archie on a white knuckled rock. that's on solid ground but still mesmerized by what's happening in the skies the third day of max a show here in the small signs down trickle down side will scold headliners for you later in the program. also this hour
2:01 am
we hear the syrian voices who are glad to see the army move into their towns even as whites activists accuse the syrian government of atrocities against protesters. or welcome to you from our headquarters in central moscow you're watching our team with me and you say now way it's ten am here in the russian capital our top story this hour british courts are coming down hard on the rioters who spread may have last week but human rights groups are accusing judges of overreacting i'm just saying out severe penalties to score popularity points two men were jailed for four years each for trying to incite street by the us through facebook prime minister david cameron defended it saying it sends a tough message arsons ivor bennett reports from london. four years behind bars for
2:02 am
the riot that didn't even happen jordan black sure and perry sutcliffe kanan 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 our worry is that it is an imbalance and a four year sentence for example would normally be given to somebody for a previous portly harm for holding someone up with a knife or even for. some form of sexual assault so it seems to me that that there is a danger that the courts are moving into disproportionate territory not actually devalues our response to more serious crimes the governments encourage courts to 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 theft of just two scoops of ice cream because like this one of the annoying bail to most
2:03 am
offenders and ignoring any claims of previous good character of the one thousand two hundred seventy seven people charge so far two thirds have been remanded in custody that's way up on last year's rate for serious crimes this is just ten percent some appendices 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 internet benefits because actually if we are saying that some of the crime that we saw in the streets was an expression of people not feeling part to society not feeling part working unities 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 in the face but case is the first sign of the government's desire to crack down on social media sites like twitter were applauded by the west to mobilizing the masses in the arab world but they were also instrumental in the u.k.
2:04 am
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 tunisia britain called it democracy but now the shoes on the other foot and troubles closer to home i'm very conscious i mean you know the. poor. movement's only when you can. be a country. the prime minister says this is where britain fights back but it's the peace fighting fire with fire that only fanned the flames of civil disorder after bennett's r.t. london. about london's police say they've charged over a thousand people over the riots were aiming to convict three times that number
2:05 am
also commentator david bowden says the government's response is a valid attempt to regain control. i think the question you have to ask yourself whether they will actually restore much or thora to your credibility by cracking down in quite severe and often incoherent way on people who aren't necessarily heavily involved in the problem you have to the question of the decline of will power through within really society is a long running social problem it's a very complex one to deal with but i think we can safely say that the kind of people who were growing up in the streets and stuck in fights and police officers who were visibly sharing in their enjoyment at the weekend a treaty or three we're not necessarily be shaken from their actions because i teenager in both state and when he said that he thought the rights were a good idea has been community service and i think we're seeing quite a superficial and dangerous kneejerk reaction now from the police and the authorities as they try to reclaim that orthorexic it superficially they seem to be
2:06 am
being hounded quite severe sentences often playing quite a minor role in the riots and it's dangerous because we now see. immediate reaction to people that work inside stuff to say they want to have a rights even if they haven't followed that we organize in the right 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 all 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 didn't go to extreme lengths to try and organize that phrase it was a joy and he's been treated exactly the same severity. now it's a big number as being deals and so stop and start trying to live in air so in moscow and are there. or do you think that in the is live and keeping
2:07 am
a close eye on what's taking place at the airshow now it's not known until the public i understand get to get a chance i should say to get up close to the wealth of aircraft that's there what's happening before that. well before the general audience will have access to this spectacular billion dollar deals are to be sealed off amazing performances that have been made here in the best pilots from all over the world on the newest and the latest in the world of aircraft and one of the headliners that's every one being one thousand two c.s.t. fifty's the face generation russian fighter jet that has been there's been a lot of rumors about this fighter jet but no one has seen it until today it will be completely finished by the year two thousand and fifteen and ready to be so but so far. managed to get
2:08 am
a first glance on it of course other headlines headliners such as to work for jack who's become a regular on the max air show. also performing here now it's over the interviews and it's already been sold to a couple of companies so it's become a regular on the show as well as twenty one which is also mid-range short range planes. also exhibited here as well as helicopters that's been patrolling the skies for the past three days aboard the small science city over. the next three days everyone all of you aircraft lovers will be able to join the show and watch all those aerobatics so far it's only been the for those who live around this area as the sky planes and helicopters were patrolling the sky for the past three days and this show really gives you a pain in the neck literally as you see hundreds and hundreds of people. gazing at
2:09 am
the sky and one of the very few who will who was actually looking down on them was . who managed to get on board one of the plane's. engine. instruments. runway. and then it's to take up for the russian aerobatic display team. their nine first class pilots have performed over two hundred times in the past nineteen years but they all had to start somewhere. and drape the training to join the team he thinks he's nearly good enough now but still remembers his first flight as a solo 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 there was no longer an instructor to my back it was unforgettable takeoff you're on your own controlling the plane then when you
2:10 am
land you've done it i think you're a real pilot at that point. yes moves are always trying to hold them anew this they practice most weekends thinking of new tricks and practicing old ones like a form of the temple or whatever don't you come up with stones i've been researched in but it often turns are you people in from before nestor of a russian came up with the look and all the other stunts are placed on the loop the loop is the basis for all aerial acrobatics. however it always comes down to time in the end even with years of flying and training experience between them it never becomes easy. for most smokers when you leave the cockpit or you can squeeze a gallon of sweat from your suit your knees are shaking because it's extremely different and stressful and anyone with you will. so with that gut wrenching fear ringing in my ears i was told it was my turn but the crowds on the ground this is
2:11 am
an exciting spectacle but that's not quite the emotion that's going through not 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. but when it came to the fountain i nearly blacked out. white faced but not defeated i returned. ok ok if he can. pick ok ok. ok ok ok ok. so far but i can also see some of the strains that go through. the first newsgroup but if
2:12 am
you know the mice before the crowds was eerie 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 flights so next time you look up the those speeding planes spare a thought for the pilots in some way. from bottom to. embrace all bad qanbar third go throughout the week for the best of the series locks ever so and parts all first class contracts. closest. to. the angle of approach. shot to the future flight time. mark seems. to the max their show. it's called the un's human rights chief might push for syria

to face the international 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 uprisings that started in march president also claims his military operation has now stopped even so the presence of troops is apparently not only seen as a bad sign as rif notion of reports. the c.t.o. bill is sort of maybe liberated but in the last few days it suffered a brutal occupation i mean my family's face bandits plot the raids put up barricades it became a case city were hiding were just like hostages for more than a week claim to be 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 there as so near the iraqi border and there's officials are saying operation is now over that the city has been freed from on groups as you can see
2:14 am
people are welcome in the soldiers as the waiters but in other parts of the country the troops live in assad's vicious crackdown a far less welcome in a similar offensive against so-called terrorists and the coastal city of latakia the opposition claims government troops killed almost forty civilians while human rights groups report the 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 than. the syrian army hasn't met a resistance in cities across the country were going to maybe there was some sort all blended protest and maybe they used the momentum to spread. but if so where have they been when the army or the armed groups is just a theory invented by the state and they have an excuse in the seedings for
2:15 am
a new liberated there is so life seems getting back to normal and markets reopened and roads just days ago were empty outgun filled with cars but reminders of the recent troubles on still hard to find and the most obvious one is fear most refused to talk to a camera to. cad of the jail as such opponents say. he's the real objective of assad's military operation if that's the case it seems to happen achieved refuel shop t. syria. well the origins of the uprising may not be so clear card globalization analysts michel just about skin told r.t. that some of the so-called peaceful protesters are packing some serious fire power i've been following this day by day since it started it made it made barged in in

daraa in the southern city of daraa and what we heard is is slimmest. salafi as well as muslim brotherhood go. as shooting at civilians as well as for to get police and israeli sources actually conferred but these militia and i quote. armed with machine guns they say he won't say 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 see tanks 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
