two men are locked up in britain for attempting to incite bryant's using facebook human rights groups are accusing the courts of being too tough. top flight trade at the international air show in moscow and the nerves of steel for russia's premier pilots as they take our t.v. on all white knuckle ride. we hear the syrian voices who are glad to see the army move into their towns even as rights activists accuse the syrian government of atrocities against protesters.

who are welcome to you live from our headquarters in central moscow this is archie with me and he said no way our top story two young british men have been sentenced to four years behind bars for inciting riots using facebook human rights campaigners are accusing judges of overreacting by dishing out severe penalties to score popularity points and as archie's ivor bene reports they aren't the only ones british courts are coming down hard on. 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 in our worry is that it isn't in balance a four year sentence for example would normally be given to someone for

a grievous bodily harm for ordering 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 government encouraged courts to dish out harsh sentences by using the public disturbance as an aggravating factor it's meant this man anderson financially is to even be sent to jail for theft of just two scoops of ice cream because like this one of the annoying bail to most offenders and ignoring any claims of previous good character of the one thousand two hundred seventy seven people tranche 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 intern move benefits because actually if we are seeing that some of the crime that we saw on the streets was an expression of people not feeling proud to society not feeling portable communities and these measures are actually going to push it further away from society further away from more 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 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 tunisia britain called it democracy but now the shoe's on the other foot when

troubles closer to home i'm very conscious we knew. who. we. thought it. was. the prime minister says this is where britain fights back but it speeds these fighting fire with fire could only fan the flames of civil disorder are prevented artsy london. prime minister david cameron to a friend of the court sentencing saying they are sending a tough message and as metropolitan police say they've already charged over a thousand people in connection with the riots but investigative journalist tony says people at the top in the u.k. so look at their own past before condemning others. i think it's a bit rich coming from david cameron who and the government i mean who are many of whom i was talking about george osborne boris johnson barry cameron who are members

of this elite oxford bullingdon club and i'll quote now one of the things they said back in one thousand nine hundred six was that they smashed the place up and set fire to the toilets i think they should take a close look at themselves and their club that they used to be part of a not for the drinking club where they would smash the places up one occasion apparently two bottles of wine were smashed each by these people in a pub they look like vandals to me said they shouldn't really go lecturing the rest of us the last thing we need is a knee jerk reaction against our ability to communicate it's quite clear we have to separate the difference between all of the communications and those kinds of communications which involve incitement to riot incitement to other kinds of criminal behavior well one of the ironies of this is as you try and restrict these internet sites what happens is that actually if you have for example you tips as to when they closed down the internet in certain places queuing the terror square the uprising earlier this year is that people actually come out in the streets and they

have a check anyway and i think this is being used actually as an excuse to regulate more more government interference in the way we communicate which i think would be a terrible thing. it's thought the un's human rights chief mike pushed for syria to face the international criminal court for its crackdown on protesters over a two hundred people are believed to have been killed across the country since the government moved to quell the uprising that started in march president asad claims his military operation has now stopped even so the presence of troops is apparently not always seen as a bad sign as worthless now reports. to see to you there is sort of maybe liberated but in the last few days it suffered a brutal occupation i mean my family's bandits block their weights 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 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 near the iraqi border and this reference was a 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 way there is but in other parts of the country the troops leaving 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 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 the. syrian army hasn't met any resistance in the cities across the country were. maybe there was some sort of. protestors

and maybe they use the momentum and spread. but if so where have they been when the army. armed groups is justin. invented they have an excuse to enter the cities of. the new liberated then he saw life seems catch and back to normal markets reopened and roads just days ago were empty i would guess and filled with cars but your mind is of the recent troubles too hard to find and the most obvious one is fear refresh our t. syria. the origins of the uprising may not be so clear cut globalization analyst michel chossudovsky told r.t. but 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 barge in in daraa in the southern city of daraa and what we heard is islamists.

salafi as well as muslim brotherhood gunmen. snipers shooting at civilians as well should you get police and israeli sources actually conferred with these militia and i quote. aren't with heavy machine guns they say big big won't say that this is all the protest movement because that seems to be that the media consensus but then they say the protesters are armed with machine guns and. now since we're not peaceful civilian protesters armed with heavy machine guns but questions we have to ask ourselves who is the source of this killing what are the what are the underlying causes of this opiate of this insurrection. that was the director of the center for research on globalization and. well still

ahead for you in the program as a merchant seems struggled to patch up the damage after mounds focusing on nuclear power plants it's think just of the facility will do for for it was hit by the earthquake and tsunami. is age fifteen to twenty million years for the planet to recover from a major extinction event of the planet is time we don't. see a spring going on for months twenty twenty five years and since it removed 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 them as terrorists someone you destroy 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 plant trees on the weekend with her cub scout troops that's the. sound. kind. of. up. line in the russian movie soon which bryson if you remove someone from fun stuporous you it's. nice for. don't come.

it's big numbers big deals and show stopping stunts at the knox twenty eleven air show in moscow and our team is there. well among those doing the line why is the latest russian stealth fighter seen here the team fifty which debuted on wednesday that's why now among bassinets class the american twenty two fighter here it is showing what it can do for the crowds at marks trying to eleven but it's not all about military hardware the big names in civilian 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 russian knights and the switch that takes a lot to put these aircraft for manic when you first like this as our tools dumbarton discovered. engine check.

instruments check. runway check and then it's taken up with a russian robotic display team. then i'm first class pilots have performed over two hundred times in the past nineteen years but they all have to start somewhere. andre training to join the team he thinks he's nearly good enough now but still remembers his first run 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 at my 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. yes moves are always trying to hold them anew they practiced most weekends thinking of new tricks and practicing old ones for me but

then for the work of a book we come up with stunt something research that in fact often turns out if you've been gone before mystery of a russian came up with a loop and all the other stunts are placed on the loop the loop is the basis for zero ereal acrobatics. however it always comes. time in the air even with years of flying and training experience between them it never becomes easy because the most smoke 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 stressful and anyone with fuel that was written so with that gut wrenching fear ringing in my ears i was told it was mine to 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 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. like faced but not the seat if i returned. to pick up his kicking. the. shit. kicked. kicked. but i can also see some of the strains that go for. there's no trip and you know the might be for the crowds of serial acrobatics armed to shoot at the pilots it's always a difficult job that a terrorist a pilot has to show his skill and that beauty of flight so next time you look up

the speeding planes spirit full of the pilots and someone. from bottom party. will stay with us throughout this week for the rest of this year as mark's air show and our team's first class couplets. i approach. the future. or to take to the air show for militants have been killed in a security raid in russia's republic of chechnya in the north caucasus chechen president of sand the group was sent to the capital need 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 republic for the past

few days earlier seven militants were killed including a regional term chief officials say the security efforts helped prevent serious of atrocities in the area. the fukushima nuclear power plant operator in japan has admitted it's behind schedule in cleaning up the heavily radioactive water that's flooding the facility the reactors were severely damaged following the earthquake and tsunami in march and has been weak a great deal active materials since workers also reported radioactive steam emerging from cracks in the ground under the facility but new evidence has also emerged suggesting most of the damage was done during the tremor and not after the tsunami swept through raising concerns that the clients built in an active tectonic region in june from the start and that japan should abandon nuclear energy. it was very silly to build reactors on on what what is clearly of. 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 not to come out and have these sorts of accidents and other accidents we look in the future and these accidents are so terrifying and the consequences of them are so hauling that really we cannot afford to choose this method of generating electricity because you can't stop it just now because that would bring the whole of france to a halt because it depends so so much from you the fact that steam is coming out and we know the steam contains the isotope sulfur thirty five and effectively we're producing a very large quantities of radium clouds all the time and they haven't been able to deal with that it's just being ignored is it's being it's not being adequately reported by the authorities in japan or indeed in the its own international atomic energy agency. bergy dot com is always online for you with the news you choose to watch here's some of what's lined up for you today
