from the as show and the unique exchange of know how russia in france creates a multimillion joint venture in defense military more on that and other business stories into it. just after three pm here in moscow and you're watching our t.v. now to our top story britain has sentenced two young men to four years behind bars for their rights inspired a facebook group well they've been charged with inciting violence spot human rights campaigners accuse judges of overreacting by dishing out severe penalties to score popularity points 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 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 charge 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 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 part of society not feeling part of our communities then these measures are actually going to push people 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 most. lising 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 person called it democracy but now the shoes on the other foot and troubles closer to home i'm very conscious. you know there really is poor. movement 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 these fighting fire with fire it only found the flames of civil disorder after bennett's artsy london. for london's 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 send 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 ninety six was that they smashed the place up and boris 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 their places up one occasion apparently two bottles of wine were smashed each by these beautiful animals face like a vandal to me so 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 ordinary 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 actually if you if you for example as you gypsies did when they closed down the internet in certain places during the tahrir square the uprising earlier this year is that people actually come out in the street so they have a chance 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 i would start the un's human rights chief my push for syria to face the international criminal court for its lethal crackdown on protesters over eight hundred people are believed to have been killed across the country since the government moved to quell the uprising that started in march president assad claims his military operation has now stopped or even so the presence of troops is apparently not always seen as a bad side as but if international now reports. the city over there is sort of maybe liberated but the last few days it suffered

a brutal occupation and he made an easy place bandits blocked the rays put up barricades it became a case of the hiding there was just like hostages for more than a week biami 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. 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 waiters but in other parts of the country the troops leading assad's officials crackdown a far less welcome in a similar offensive against so-called terrorists in 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 over the laws of the syrian army hasn't met a resistance in cities across the country were going to 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 well. armed groups is just a theory invented by the state to have an excuse to enter the cities. in 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 to hard to find and the most obvious one is fear. t.v. syria. well the origins of the uprising may not be so clear cut globalization analyst

michel chossudovsky told r.t. that some of the so-called peaceful protesters are packing some serious firepower i've been following this day by day since it started it made it made in in daraa in the southern city of daraa and what we have is this slimmest. salafi as well as muslim brotherhood gun. shooting at civilians as well as should you get police and israeli sources actually confirming that these militia and i quote. 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 with heavy machine guns and. now since way are not peaceful civilian protesters with heavy machine guns so

that the question is 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. that was the director of the center for research on globalization. and still ahead from here in the program as emergency teams struggle to patch up the. fukushima nuclear power it's just a facility it was doomed before it was hit by the earthquake and tsunami. wealthy british style. markets. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike stronger for a no holds barred look the global financial headlines khans

a report. the official. from the. video. and says feed now in the palm of your. question. now it's big numbers big deals and a show stopping starts at the max two thousand and eleven air show in moscow. is there to tell us who's stealing the show. one of the highlights 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

the am i seventeen that is soon to return to the country in order to help restore security there as nature 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 violence many of them were educated by the soviet flight instructors. we will be able to check out the insides of the cabin just a few moments as potential buyers are already here to check it out for themselves now we can go. well of course this is not the only military aircraft that is the headliner of this year's air show monk's t. fifty is another one line ducts together with america's f. twenty two and thirty five fighter jets over the fifth generation t 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 state's most prominent feature is going to be that it's very difficult to detect it by any raiders but of course this air show is not just about military aircraft we're talking big money a lots of deals to be sealed during the next three days including today of course as well we're surrounded by hundreds of warnings an area bosses alongside sue boyce 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 the general audience the most exciting part of the show is air about six russian nights. we'll be performing for them together with the troops. pilots and one of our correspondents the water actually found out what it's like to be on one of those planes during the performance. engine. instruments.

runway check. and then it's takeoff for the russian aerobatics display team. their nine first class pilots have 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 flight as a solo pilot to many people 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 who wanted 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 knew this they practiced most weekends thinking of new tricks and practicing. not getting form of the stanford or whatever don't let you come up with standards and then research

them but it often turns are you peepin done before mystery of a russian came up with a loop and all the other stunts are based on the loop the loop is the basis for all area lakra batters. however it always comes down to time and even with years of flying and training experience between them it never becomes easier or harder for the most smokable when you leave the cockpit you can squeeze a gallon of sweat from your suit what your knees are shaking for because it's extremely different than the stretching and any we're going to go through. so with that gut wrenching fair ringing in my ears i was told it was my turn 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 meters apart

a. it. but when it came to the fountain i nearly blacked out. white faced but not defeated i returned. ok wish it be ok ok ok. ok ok ok ok ok cool but i could also see some of the strains that go through. there's no ticket but if you know he might be for the crowds but serial acrobatics aren't special to the pilots it's always a difficult job that tests a pilot has to show his skill and the beauty of flight so next time he will come up with some speedy planes spare

a thought pilots and some. from bottom to. others stay with us throughout the week for the best of this year's max airshow for our first class coverage. closest. approach. showing the future of flight time. our team types to the max their show. before militants have been killed in a security raid in russia's republic of chechnya and the north caucasus just one president at amazon says the group was sent to the capital grozny to carry out attacks they opened fire on security forces now 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 terror chief official say the security efforts helped prevent a series of atrocities in the area. now 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 leaking radioactive material since workers also reported radioactive steam emerging from cracks in the ground under the facility new evidence has also emerged suggesting most of the damage was done during the tremor and not after the tsunami swept through and that's raising concerns that the plant built in an active tectonic lesia was doomed from the start and that japan that should abandon nuclear energy. it is very silly to build reactors on what is clearly a line and in an area where there are known to be. great.

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 these sorts of accidents and other accidents will occur in the future and these accidents are so terrifying in the consequences in the so pawling 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 hold because it depends so so much from nuclear to fight the steam is coming out and we know that the steam contains. 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. dot com as always on life or you are the news you choose to watch and here are some of what we've got lined up right now

right now in short term not the best idea it's probably better to buy some stocks but for those who are building new positions for me to long term i think this is really kind of food good opportunity good chance to buy them. and we can all make figures now russian gross domestic product growth three point seven percent in the first off would be a slightly below forecast government still expects the country's economy to expand by four point two percent by the end of this year meanwhile on the side that russia needs to work hard to meet that target. so for me john my colleague will be here in around fifteen minutes time to bring your business update and come up next on our.
