in the. headlines on our t.v. for years for a dodgy facebook status two men and britain are locked up for encouraging the rioting but human rights groups say a judges are going to fall. 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. dr trager of the international air show in moscow and the nerves of steel for russia's premier pilots as they take our t.v. on a bike knuckle ride. meanwhile back on solid ground or on solid helicopters all eyes are easing at the sky as the third day of. thousand and eleven season will be all

the updates about the headliners of the day in just a few moments and. also coming from the air show and the unique exchange of know how russia and france creates a multimillion joint venture in defense military more about another business story isn't with. just after three pm here in moscow and you're watching our t.v. well through our top story written has sentenced two young men to four years behind bars for their rights inspired a facebook group where they've been charged with inciting violence spots human rights campaigners accuse judges of overreacting i dishing out severe penalties to score points as artie's obert bennett reports they aren't the only wants to 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 and 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 grievous bodily harm for holding someone up with a knife 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 not actually devalues our response to more serious crimes the government's encouraged course 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 theft of just two scoops of ice cream because like this one of denying bail to most 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 reminded 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 it will simply cause more harm than good i think this is very unwise the move to remove people from housing internews 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 core to society not feeling port or 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 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 intelligence services and industry to look at whether it would be right to stop people communicating via these websites or 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 corny i mean you know the. movement of the force we. country. the prime minister says this is where britain fights back but it's the he's fighting fire with fire it only fanned the flames of civil disorder after bennett's artsy london. home runs metropolitan police say they've already charged over

a thousand people in connection with the riots prime minister david cameron defended the sentencing saying they sent a tough message but investigative journalist tony gosling says that people at the top in the u.k. should 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 are we talking about george osborne boris johnson david cameron who were 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 they used to be part of an oxford drinking club where they would smash places up one occasion apparently two bottles of wine were smashed by these people in our faces like vandals to me so they shouldn't really go lecturing the rest of us 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 ordinary communications and those kinds of communications which involve incitement to riot and so on into other kinds of criminal behavior well one of the ironies of this is as you try and restrict these internet sites what happens is actually if you if for example you could choose to when they closed down the internet in certain places during the tahrir square. earlier this year is that people actually come out in the street so they have a check anyway and i think this is being used actually as an excuse to regulate more and more government interference in the way we communicate which i think would be a terrible thing i would start the un's human rights chief in my push for syria to face the international criminal court for its legal crackdown on protesters over eighteen hundred people are believed to have been killed across the country since the government moved to quell the uprising started in march president assad acquaintance's military operation has now stopped even so the process of troops is

apparently not always seen as a bad sign as many are for caution now reports. the c.t.o. there is sort of maybe liberated but in the last few days it suffered a brutal occupation i mean my family's a spaniard's plot their weight put up barricades it became a case sitting on the hiding board just like hostages for more than you we claim to be army fought against armed groups that have taken control of the city and had been terrorizing its residents. told of the syrian army out living in the city of the iraqi border mr officials are saying operation is now over that the city has been freed from on groups as you can see people are welcome in the soldiers as the waiters in other parts of the country the troops live in assad's officials 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 would be almost as high as two thousand some say assad is simply using his army to silence peaceful demonstrators across the country over the laws of the syrian army hasn't met any resistance in cities across the country were. maybe there was some so-called bandits among protestors and maybe they use the momentum to spread cancer but if so where have they been when the army or the armed groups is just a theory invented by the story and they have an excuse in the seedings. the new liberated there is so life seems getting back to normal and markets reopened and roads are just days ago were emptied out and filled with cars but reminders of the recent troubles arms to hard to find and the most obvious one is fear grief and all

shouty syria. well the origins of the uprising may not be so clear cut globalization analyst michel chossudovsky told r.t. that some of these so-called peaceful protesters are packing some serious firepower . i mean following this day by day since it started it made it made. in daraa in the southern city of daraa and what we have is this slimmest gun so lucky as well as the muslim brotherhood gun. was shooting at civilians as well as for to get police and israeli sources actually could hurt but these militia and i quote. are with heavy machine guns they say they both say that this is not a protest because that seems to be the the media consensus but then they say the

protesters are armed with machine guns and see tank rounds now since way not peaceful civilian protesters along with heavy machine guns so that the question we have to ask ourselves who is the source of this killing what are the what all the underlying causes of this opiate of this insurrection. that was the director of the center for research on globalization michel chossudovsky and somehow from here in the program as emergency teams struggle to patch up the data to pass she might nuclear power plant it suggested this elite was doomed before it was hit by the earthquake and tsunami. wealthy british science. is not. free.

one of the hard lights of the third day of mac's two thousand and eleven air show is this helicopter the helicopters made its name during the soviets war in afghanistan am i seventeen that is soon to return to the country in order to help restore security there as nato is going to buy over twenty of such helicopters to deploy to afghanistan let's check it out from inside experts say that it's very easy to operate this helicopter especially for our gun pilots many of them were educated by the soviet flight instructors. we will be able to check out the insides of the cabin just the moments as potential buyers are already here to check it out for themselves i wouldn't go. well of course this is not the only military aircraft that is the headliner on this year's airshow marks the fifty is another one line duffus together with america's f. twenty two and thirty five fire jets off the fifth generation teak fifty has been

kept a secret for a very long time it was displayed for the first time on wednesday but no one was able to get close to it as its features i still kept a secret what we do know is that its most prominent feature is going to be got it's very difficult to detect to a raiders but of course this airshow is not just about military aircraft we're talking big money a lot of deals to be seals during the next three days including today of course as well we're surrounded by hundreds of warnings and air bosses alongside sioux boys that were just and twenty one so we're expecting a billion dollar deals to be sealed within the next couple of days but of course for the general audience the most exciting part of the show is aerobatics russian nights. be performing for them together with. pilots and one of the presidents the

water actually found out what it's like to be on one of those planes during the performance. engine check. instruments check. runway check and then it's takeoff for the russian aerobatics display team. then 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 now but still remembers his first run as a solo pilot to build that appears very 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 going back 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 that loop as they

practiced most weekends thinking of new tricks and practicing. not conforming like never going to have a company come up with standards and then research them but it's all going to turn sorry peepin done before mystery of 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. even with years of flying and training experience between them it never becomes easy. or difficult was slow look at it when you leave the cockpit or you can squeeze a gallon of sweat from your suit what if your knees are shaking because it's extremely different than the stresses and any will of america so with that gut wrenching fare 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 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. a but when it came to the fountain i nearly blacked out. like face but not the seated i returned. ok ok. ok ok. k k k. k. but i can also see some of st. you know there's no such group at your funeral so you might speak for the crowds but eerie lycra dancers are interested for the pilots it's always

reactors on on what is going to go on and an area where the known we. know 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 not to have new source of accidents and other accidents will occur in the future and these accidents are so terrifying in the consequences of them so pulling but 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 the ground to a halt because it depends so so much from nuclear steam is going on and we know that was steam contains the isotope 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 its own
