british courts race to read the riot act to those behind the recent moving of violence from human rights groups so here's john has a blank sound just proportionate justice. sounds like trade at the international air show in moscow and the nerves of steel for russia's premier pilots as they take are three on white knuckle rock. and back on solid ground here gazing at the sky will be a great date the headliners of this year's night's gary show in just a few moments. also this hour we hear the syrian voices who are glad to see the army will move into their towns even as
3:01 am
rights activists accuse the syrian government of atrocities against protesters. and this is a russian call find in the folds of news to grab on to something is back yard sales my six of them more than one of them off the scent of the war in the markets and the latest business. it's not a woman am here in moscow we are watching our lives with me and use in our our top story british courts are coming down hard on the rioters who spread may have last week but human rights groups are accusing judges of overreacting by dishing out severe penalties used to score popularity points two men were jailed for four years each for trying to incite street violence through facebook the prime minister david cameron defended it saying it's a tough message i regret it reports from london. four years behind bars for the
3:02 am
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 in our worry is that it is an imbalance and a four year sentence for example would normally be given to somebody for a previous whatley 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 eritrean 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 denying bail to most offenders and
3:03 am
ignoring any claims of previous good character of the one thousand two hundred seventy seven people charged so far two thirds of been remanded 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 intern move 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 puerto society not feeling part of our communities 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 to mobilize. the masses
3:04 am
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 hasn't called it democracy but now the shoe's on the other foot and troubles closer to home i'm very conscious i mean you know the. poor. movement and we would. be a. country. the prime minister says this is where britain writes back that it's b.s. despite a fire with fire it only fanned the flames of civil disorder after bennett's artsy london. london police say their target over
3:05 am
a thousand people over the riots were aiming to convict three times that number also commentator david bowden says the government's response is a failing attempt to regain control. i think the question you have to ask yourself whether they will actually was school much or storage for your credibility by cracking down in quite severe and often incoherent way on people who were necessarily heavily involved in the problem you have the question of the decline of will for a three wood in british society is a long running social problem it's a very complex one to deal with but i think we can so if you say that the kind of people who are going out to the streets to shop to fight should police officers he was visibly sharing in their enjoyment of the week you knew people thought he would not necessarily be sure you can from their actions because i teenager in blue suit and when he said that he thought the rights were a good idea it was going to community service i think we're seeing quite a superficial wound dangerous kneejerk reaction now from the police and the authorities they try to reclaim that or priority it's superficial you see people
3:06 am
being hounded quite severe sentences but i think i'm quite a minor role in the riots and it's dangerous because we never see. a kneejerk reaction to people working for rights to say they want to have a rights even if they haven't followed the 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 rights which sees a crime in something you want to deal with quite seriously then you have somebody else who said he wants to organize a right to go to extreme lengths trying to organize that says it was a joy that he's been treated exactly the same severity. well as big numbers big deals and show stopping stunts and marks twenty eleven era show in moscow and arching is their.
3:07 am
lives are things that i can overcome and now she is at the show for us now after the stunning international debut the third generation fighter jet what makes practice come back today. well it's a billion dollar deals for some and instead say humans for many even if you are not very much into aircraft you cannot be indifferent to this show at some point during this report you might hear very loud noises as a fire as a fighter jet flying right of all of our heads out of this moment and one of the headlines actually headliners of this show is the fifty russian fighter jets that's being kept secret for a long time it was seen in their own wednesday but no one was allowed anywhere near it as most of its features are kept secret as well lots of rumors around there and bots what we do you know is one of its most prominent features will be the fact
3:08 am
that it will be very difficult to detect it with radars it will be ready by two thousand and fifteen this is when we're going to see its. cloak close up and this is when it's going to be sold of course it's not just about military hardware right now we're surrounded by hundreds of planes including warnings and planes and it was we were getting live getting to this live position we saw a boeing seven eight seven the dreamliner getting ready for every four months in the air just a couple of minutes ago our forces they will be performing alongside such planes as the project has become a regular on max air show and this year it's that sounds jubilee. air show here and just outside moscow in a small science town over. so this is all of that general public will be able to see in the next three days and of course the major
3:09 am
deals will be cells that will be sealed off in the next three days but the most fascinating part of this show for the general audience who are not very marched. two aircraft at all will be the aerobatics performed by the russian knights and. those will take place to morrow and see what it's like to be a pilots and what it's like to be from aerobatics in the air our correspondent on barton found out as he was on board one of the plane's. engines checked. instruments checked runway checked and then its takeoff for the russian aircraft to display team. then i'm first class pilots with performed over two hundred times in the past nineteen years but they all have to start somewhere. andre the train to join the team he thinks he's nearly good enough
3:10 am
but still remembers his first thought was so hard to believe 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 to want to write 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 going. yes moves is trying to hold up knew this they practiced most weekends thinking of new tricks and practicing. for me but never the work of a company come up with stone and been researched than to told when to turn sorry if you've been gone before and this third of a russian came up with the look i'm told the other songs are based on the loop the loop is the basis for all aerial acrobatics. however it always comes down to time in the end that even with years of flying and training experience between
3:11 am
them it never becomes easy because they were the most cynical when you leave the cockpit and you can squeeze a gallon of sweat from your suit what if your knees are shaking because it's extremely different than stressful and anyone with any luck with america so with that gut wrenching fear ringing in my ears i was told it was mine the crowds on the ground this is 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 a cockpit. we did the loop the loop all the planes just meet as a part. of. it. but when it came to the fountain i nearly blacked out. white faced but not to see to it i returned. ok. keep hitting.
3:12 am
the. pic. but i can also see some of the strains that go through. there there's no ticket but if you know the might be for the crowds it's aerial acrobatics aren't special to the pilots it's always a difficult job that a terrorist pilot has to show his skill and the beauty of flight so next time you look up at those speeding planes spare a thought for the pilots and someone. from boston out. there with us throughout the way for the brass on the stairs locks our cell and far things first class copperheads.

3:15 am
cities across the country were. maybe there was some so-called bandits among protestors and maybe they use the momentum to spread gains but if so where have they been when the army because of the armed groups is just a theory invented by the state they have an excuse in the cities. in new liberated there is so life seems getting back to normal the markets reopened and roads bridges days ago were empty are again filled with cars but reminders of the recent troubles on still hard to find and the most obvious one is fear and most refuse to talk talk can. too scared of the jail as such opponents say. is the real objective science military operation if that's the case it seems to happen achieved. t. syria. the origins of the uprising may not be so clear cut causation and

region was doomed from the start and not just passionate abandon its nuclear energy . it was very silly to build reactors on on what what is clearly a fault line and in an area where they are known to be. great so. we see the result of coming from that you can't really believe that you can cage these things and expect them not to come out and then not to have these sorts of accidents and other accidents will occur in the future and these accidents are so terrifying the consequences of them are so boring that really we cannot afford choose this method of generating electricity because you can't stop it just now because that would bring the whole front to a halt because it depends so so much from you get the steam is coming out and we know that the steam contains the isotopes. and effectively we're producing very large quantities of radionuclides all the time and they haven't been able to deal with that it's just being ignored is being it's being is not being adequately
