1:02 pm
dishing out penalties which is too harsh but designed the bet it set reports it's part of the tough justice in the wake of the looting and disorder across england. 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 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 territory and actually devalues our resources for serious crimes the governments encourage courts to dish
1:03 pm
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 the annoying 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 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 interim of benefits because actually if we are saying that some of the crime that we saw in the streets was an expression of people not feeling porter society not feeling portable communities and these measures are actually going to push it further away
1:04 pm
from society further away from our communities and for 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 commode. lies in 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 and troubles closer to home i'm very conscious we knew. who. we would you know what we thought the.
1:05 pm
prime minister says this is where britain fights back but it's this fighting fire with fire could only fan the flames of civil disorder are bennett r.t. london. irish prime minister david cameron defended the sentence saying they're sending a tough nefesh pardon beth again this tiny thing but lethal thorazine not forget their reign passed before condemning outlives. i think it's a bit rich coming from david cameron. and the government i mean who are many of whom are we talking about george osborne boris johnson 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 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 by these people in
1:06 pm
a pub they don't like vandals 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 that actually if you if you. just did when they closed down the internet in certain places during the tahrir square the uprising earlier this year it's a people actually come out on the streets and 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 will be a terrible thing. for us in major european countries of syria's president bashar to step down and it was a fresh heads of economic sanctions it comes in response to the regime's violent
1:07 pm

1:08 pm
do all the syrian assets under u.s. jurisdiction will be frozen so clearly this is some more mounting pressure coming from the u.s. government in terms of financially trying to corner of syria shortly after president obama issued his statement and his executive order we did see germany france britain and the european union all are rapidly issuing statements calling for the syrian president to step down and this all coming just a day after president assad did speak with the un secretary-general ban ki moon are shoring him that all military and police operations in his country have halted but clearly this is not stopped by the u.s. and its western allies from putting more pressure on the syrian government and the new wave of action told getting the syrian regime as you've been saying the marina was on the call of the security council meeting.
1:09 pm
it's coming from all ends al as the security council the un security council is meeting today to respond discuss findings of a report that was released by the un human rights panel this twenty two page report accuses the syrian government of carrying out of human rights violations since mid march when the anti government protesters began taking to the streets according to this u.n. report a fresh one syrian government has taken part in numerous summary executions carried them out there's been kidnapping and torture according to the findings of this u.n. report u.n. investigators say that the syrian government may have committed crimes against humanity and wording to you and investigators they say they have evidence against at least fifty eight suspects so what the u.n. human rights panel is now recommending is for the security council to refer syria
1:10 pm
to the international criminal court for these these fifty suspects to be prosecuted that is a move that the security council is now considering discussing debating but we should mention that the u.n. investigators the kubic human rights investigators were not allowed inside syria they were they were allowed to witness or they did interview about one hundred eighty to two hundred witnesses according to reports but one of artes correspondents maria for notion or was is inside syria did speak to some people on the ground there are some people who believe the government security forces are actually helping their lives here's a bit of what she found out. that is. because the last few days it suffered a brutal occupation i mean might these bandits plot their rights barricades it became. just like this. fought

1:12 pm
cities across the country were. maybe there was some so-called bandits among protestors and maybe they use the momentum and. if so where have they been when the army appeared armed groups is just a theory invented by the state to have an excuse to go into the cities. in new liberated there is all life seems getting back to normal the markets reopened and roads bridges days ago were empty are again filled with cars good reminders of the recent troubles are still hard to find and the most obvious one is fear. r.t. syria. now the israeli military has launched a mare strike on guards there killing five and palestinians of carrying out a string of people attacked three separate shootout with the country along the israeli egyptian border on thursday assays paula spears in tel aviv with more. well

1:17 pm
so for them they have to strike a very difficult balance between the two spain is a very pro european country that in fact is that is the only country in which the referendum for the favor european constitution got a yes vote and it was a very large majority of people no spenders not uncomfortable to do you you know the problem is that there. may be some confortable with the spain it's a huge country. should it be bailed out of course there will be no more need to do that now having said that it's also true that there's a lot of the spanish there is not that high is actually lower than that than the average in europe and the markets have been very hard on spain what was in truth is a country that is not in such a danger of of the fourteen or anything of the sort. tending to the skies now it's a particularly noisy this there's a in the last a week in the uk then satele and ses he all thought of i never said men in their
1:18 pm
line machines they tell you not because they're party to bring us up to speed but the latest development. 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 soviet war in afghanistan the am i seventeen of his 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 that's the saying 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 i wouldn't go. well of course this is not the only military aircraft that is the
1:19 pm
headliner of this year's air show marks t fifty is another one line dubbed together with america's f. twenty two and a half thirty five fighter jets all through fifth generation 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 it secret what we do know is that it's most prominent feature is going to be that it's very difficult to detect it by eighty raiders but of course this air show is not just about military aircraft and 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 su who is the bridges and twenty one so we're expecting a billion dollar deals to be sealed within the next couple of days but of course
1:20 pm
for the general audience the most exciting part of the show is aerobatics russian knights. oh we'll be performing for them together with. pilot sounds of one of our correspondents the what actually found out what it's like to be one one of those planes during the performance. engines check. instruments check. runway check and then it's takeoff for the russian aerobatic display team. their nine first class pilots have performed over two hundred times in the past nineteen years but they all had to start somewhere. hundred a training to join the team he thinks he's nearly good enough now but still remembers his first bite 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 my back it was
1:21 pm
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. the as moves are always trying to hone their maneuvers they practiced most weekends thinking of new tricks and practicing old ones for me but they're for the work of them we come up with stunts and then research them but it often turns are you peeping down before mystery of a russian came up with the loot 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. or the problem is when you leave the cockpit or you can squeeze a gallon of sweat from your suit your knees are shaking because it's extremely difficult stressful and anyone with you. so with that gut wrenching fear ringing in
1:22 pm
my ears i was told it was my turn for the crowds on the grow. 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. it. but when it came to the fountain i nearly blacked out. white faced but not defeated i returned. it. if it was. a. kid it hit. it in. it. but i
1:23 pm
could also see some of the strains that go through. there there's no ticket but if you know the might be for the crew to put serial acrobatics on to shoot at 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 spirit thought for the pilots inside. from bottom county. to stay with r.c. throughout the day as we bring you more updates and live coverage from the banks at twenty seven international asked how in the last a region right now they say. is this threshold right now cutting or. pingree for the flu we've got it's. the biggest issues get the human voice face to face with the news makers i'm.
