back yards yes money six of the more than one of the said at the opening in the markets and the latest business. it's not a woman am here in moscow we are watching our team live with me and you see now a our top story british courts are coming down hard on the rioters who spread may happen last week but human rights groups are accusing the judges of overreacting by dishing out severe penalties used to score popularity points two men were jailed for four years for trying to incite street violence through facebook the prime minister david cameron defended it saying it's a tough message argues ira bennett reports 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 previous bodily 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 and that 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 denying 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 have been

remanded in custody that's way up on last year's rate for serious crimes which is just ten percent some offenders even being made homeless is their punishment with local governments taking away their houses but many say this will simply cause more harm than good i think this is very unwise the move to remove people from housing interim 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 porter 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 in the arab world but they were also instrumental in the u.k. riots so now the prime minister wants it to stop it 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 person called it democracy but now the shoe's on the other foot when troubles closer to home i'm very conscious i've been used you know the. poor or. movements and we would be the force to complete. the authorities in those countries we're trying to walk. the prime minister says this is where britain fights back but it speeds the spiting fire with fire could only fan the flames of civil disorder after bennett's london. but london's police say they have charged over a thousand people over the riots aiming to convict three times that number also 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 or thora to your credibility by cracking down in quite severe and often incoherent why on people who weren't necessarily heavily involved in the problem you have to the question of the decline of will for 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 safely say that the kind of people who are going out into the streets and stuff to fight should police officers he was visibly sharing in their enjoyment of the week you know p.t. for which he would not necessarily be shaken from their actions because a teenager and very sad and when he said that he thought the riots were a good idea given community service 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 or for ricky it superficially because you see people being hounded quite severe sentences for often playing quite a minor role in the riots and the strangers because we may also you. need jerk

reaction to people using social networking sites to say they want to have a right even if they haven't followed up with organizing the right itself which is already i think dangerously being the distinction between action and speech so you have one of the cases where somebody was trying to organize riots which obviously is a crime and something you want to deal with quite seriously but you have somebody else who said he wanted to organize a riot didn't go to extreme lengths to try a new organizer says it was a joy and he's been treated exactly the same severity well as big numbers big deals and show stopping stunts at the locks twenty eleven era show in moscow and our team is there. live to r.j. is that in the look of a now she is that the show for us now after the stunning international debut of the fifth generation fighter jet what makes spectators come back today. well

it's a billion dollar deals for some and same and 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 evolve our hads ad this moments and one of the headlines actually headliners over this show is fifty russian fighter jets that's been 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 but it's what we do you know is one of its most prominent features will be the fact 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 buoying own bardia 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 of course 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 down over. so this is all of that general public will be able to see in the next three days and of course the major deals will be sells will be sealed also in the next three days but the most fascinating part of this show for the general audience who are not so. march into

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 found out as he was on board one of the plane's. engines. instruments. runway. and then it's take off for the russian aerobatics display team. the nine first class pilots with 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 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 from what i had no time to be scared there was no longer an instructor who wanted it was unforgettable takeoff you on your own controlling the plane then when you land you've done it i think you're a real pilot at that point. yes moves are always trying to hold the maneuvers they practiced most weekends thinking of new tricks and practicing. for me but then to do it let me come up with stone and then research them but it turns are you peeping tom before mr dove a russian came up with the look 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 because. when you leave the cockpit you can squeeze a gallon of sweat from your suit your knees are shaking because it's extremely

different stressful and anyone with a rick. so with that gut wrenching fear ringing into my is i was told it was mine for 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 meat as a part. of. it. but when it came to the fountain i nearly blacked out. white faced but not defeated i returned. to kick. the shit eating. the. shit. kicked out.

of. it. but i could also see some of the strains that go through. there there's no ticket the next you know the might be for the crowds but serial acrobatics aren't issued to 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 suddenly. some bottom on team. will stay with us throughout the way for the best of the saraswati our cell and far to his first class coverage. approach. and cheer.

our team takes to the max or show a song to us 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 uprising that started in march president also claims his military operation has now stopped even so the presence of troops is apparently not always seen as a bad sign as more if the notion that now reports. the city over there is sort of maybe liberated but in the last few days it suffered a brutal occupation i mean a place bandits block the race put up barricades it became a gay city we were hiding we were just like hostages for more than a week claim to be army forty 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 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 waiter's but in other parts of the country the troops leading assad's officials crackdown are far less welcome in a similar offensive against so-called terrorists and the coastal city of latakia the opposition claims government troops killed almost fall to civilians while human rights groups reported 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. the syrian army hasn't met any resistance in cities across the country work and maybe there was some so-called bandits protest maybe they use the momentum to spread. but if so where have they been when

the army. armed groups is just a theory invented by the state to have an excuse to enter the cities for a new liberated there is so life seems getting back to normal the markets reopened and roads that just days ago were empty out again 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 all can. too scared of the train jail sounds opponents say. is the real objective and assad's military operation if that's the case it seems to happen achieved grief notion out t. syria. the origins of the uprising may not be so clear cut globalization and less michel chossudovsky 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. in in daraa in the southern city of daraa and what we have is islamists and salafi as well as muslim brotherhood gun. shooting at civilians as well should you get police and israeli sources actually confirming that these militia and i quote are all armed with heavy machine guns they say they 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 where 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. thoughts there on syria from the director of the center for research on globalization. still ahead on the program as a merchanting team struggled to patch up. a nuclear power plant and suggested the facility was doomed before it was hit by the earthquake and tsunami stay with us. at least fifteen to twenty million years for the planet to recover from a major extinction event for the planet is time we don't. spring going on for months twenty twenty five years and sensors with eco terrorists before there was even islamic fundamentalist terrorist in this country when the 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 were accused of property sabotage and labeled then as terrorists someone you destroy

property. with absolutely zero intention of harming a single human being. in my mind it's not the parents real people who are green in this country are the housewives who recycle. and the children who plant trees on the weekend with their cub scout troops that's the. time to. do. welcome back it's coming up to nineteen minutes past the hour four militants have been killed in a security raid in russia's republic of chechnya in the north caucasus chechen president. says the group was sent to the capital grozny to carry out attacks they opened fire on security forces the raid was part of

a major anti terror operation that has been underway in the public for the past few days earlier seven militants were killed including a regional terror chief officials say the security efforts to help prevent a series of atrocities planned in the area. they focus a mite nuclear power plant operator in japan has admitted it's behind schedule well in cleaning up the heavily radioactive water that's funding the facility the reactors were severely damaged following the earthquake and tsunami in march and have been leaking radioactive material since workers also report that radioactive steam merging from cracks in the ground under the facility well new evidence has also emerged suggesting most of the damage was done during the tremor and not after the tsunami swept through it's raising concerns that the plant belt and steps tectonic region was doomed from the start and that japan should abandon its nuclear energy. it was very silly to build reactors on what is clearly

a full line and in an area where there are known to be. breaks and we see the result of having done that you cannot really believe that you can cage these things in the expect them not to come in and 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 pulling that really we cannot afford to choose this method of generating electricity because you can't stop it just not because that would bring the whole of japan to a halt because it depends so much from nuclear the fight the steam is coming and we know that the steam contains sulfur thirty five 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 reported by the authorities in japan or indeed in the international atomic energy agency. our jane dot com is always online for you with the news you choose to watch
