the world with underlying fears of a double dip morgan stanley is warning that the global economy is dangerously close to recession join me for a full business bulletin and twenty minutes. and where on the ground of the moscow which is the international air show where all eyes are on the sky. a very warm welcome to you this is our sea life from moscow britain has sentenced to young men to four years behind bars after their facebook posts which they said were called on all this to cause trouble in the home towns now human rights groups are sounding the alarm saying the courts are overreacting by dishing out penalties which is too harsh but as i've bennett's reports it's part of a political drive for tough justice in the wake of the looting and 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 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 that 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 reminded in custody that's way up on last year's rate for serious crimes chris 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 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 part to 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 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 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 shoe's on the other foot when troubles closer to home i'm very conscious the news you know the. movement we would be the force to. the authorities the country's. prime minister says this is where britain fights bank but it's feared this fighting fire with fire could only fan the flames of civil disorder are venet artsy london.

british prime minister david cameron has defended the center saying they're sending a tough method spiralling bethen of journalists tony gosling but he's not forget their reign passed before condemning up and. 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 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 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 each by these people in 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 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 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. now the u.s. the major european countries have syria's president bashar assad to step down on imposed economic sanctions it comes in response to the regime's violent crackdown against protesters the statements have been said and the special u.n. security council meeting on syria is taking place in new. for also now.

the u.s. president has issued his first explicit cool hasn't he for the syrian needed to resign how far do you see washington is prepared to go to help achieve that end. well alice not only has the u.s. president called for the syrian president to step down he has backed up his words with action and that action includes issuing an executive order thursday morning with fresh sanctions against syria and now according to the new sanctions that have been signed by obama all americans and u.s. corporations are now prohibited from investing operating or having any business dealings with the syrian government this includes a ban on imports and exports including cereal syrian oil and petroleum products additionally 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 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 one 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 or the u.s. and its western allies from. putting more pressure on the syrian government and the new wave of action using the syrian regime as you've been saying the merino walsall the call of the security council meeting. 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 street according to this u.n. report a fresh one of the 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 to un investigators say that the syrian government may have committed crimes against humanity and according to u.n. investigators they say that 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 to the international criminal court for 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 huge human rights investigators were not allowed inside syria they were they were allowed to witness or they did interview about a hundred eighty to two hundred witnesses according to reports but one of our correspondents maria for notional was is inside syria did speak to some people on the ground there are some people who believe that the government security forces are actually helping their lives here's a bit of what she found out. but the last few days it suffered to be. occupation having made his place bandits plot the weights put up barricades it became a gay city we were hiding we were just like hostages for more than a week military claimed the 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 the or 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 way there is but in other parts of the country the troops lead in assad's vicious 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 four to 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. the syrian army hasn't met any resistance in the cities across the country work and maybe there was some so-called bandits among protestors and maybe they use the momentum to spread cares but if so where have

they been when the army period. armed groups is just a theory invented by the stayed to have an excuse to enter the cities. in new liberated there is or life seems getting back to normal the markets reopened and roads but just days ago were empty are again filled with cars but reminders of the recent troubles arms to hard to find and the most obvious one is fear reflash an r.t. syria. now the israeli military has launched a manned strike on gulzar killing find even accuse palestinians of carrying out a string of fatal attacks there's been three separate shootouts in the south of the country along the israeli egyptian border on thursday paulist is in tel aviv with more. well the twenty minute. strike over the southern part of gaza and the latest figures we have all that palestinians have been killed at the same time

there are israeli drones flying over the russia which is on the gaza border not none of this comes as a surprise the i.d.f. the israeli defense forces issued a statement in which it played it would bring to book all of those responsible if you do so you've been at all costs the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is meeting with evening whose day with defense officials and they are met by the way forward that only a he did say that this was an attack on a sovereign state and that israel would retaliate and act accordingly now the jordanians it has transpired not so long ago did it in full news maybe intelligence that they had picked up that there was a cell operation in the south of the country that they were planning such an attack this was in line with israeli intelligence for some time not now israeli security officials have seen warning that the sinai peninsula is chaotic and it is not key there that reigns and they see morning that shipment of weapons has been making their way to gaza the israelis are convinced that this operation did originate in

gaza that there is still a massive manhunt in manhunt in the south of the country the israeli air force is deployed as well as all the foot soldiers and just a short time ago they was a shootout between some of those shoulder soldiers and militants who are being told that one israeli has been critically injured and the number of gunmen so far killed totals seven or eight the gazans deny having any involvement in masses in issued a statement saying that not only is it not in bold but it has warned israel not to attack it having said that though they had nothing terry minister has given a directive for his security headquarters to be evacuated for fear that the israelis will retaliate and strike it as one of a target to explode thomas in one of these states and they say that israel was trying to exploit the crisis. and transfer it to gaza now the camps along the border crossing which is the border crossing between israel and gaza that allows for goods to be transported has been closed down there is no love lost between

israel and gaza and israel and how much it'll come out came to power in gaza back in two thousand and six all relations between israel and gaza have been kept short israel regarding hamas is a terrorist organization and continuously inflicting to keep the destruction of the jewish state as part of its charter but further than that in terms of israeli palestinian relations these have been stalled for quite some time so the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu with his policy of expanding settlements is someone that is not welcomed in the palestinian world and certainly the timing of what we saw today just weeks before palestinians go to the united nations to declare unilaterally a palestinian state is a very significant and just as a last would pull the past few weeks there has been tens of thousands of israelis demonstrating here on the street that this will social justice they were planning demonstrations this saturday we've now been told that those demonstrations have been canceled because of the developments along the israeli egyptian front. for

pope benedict the sixteenth his money making mentality blamey it for the economic crisis but with a papal visit to hard hit spain reportedly causing a seventy million year old angry protest and say it's him that's costing too much budget base just as. though disputes that spain's economy is on the brink he says the e.u. is actually making the troubles and they all. we are just in the runup of a general election the socialist government is in a very difficult position they are being criticized by the pope who is their guest for their policies in social issues and on the other hand if they are too hard on those who protest the visit they will be criticised by the other side this world so 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 european constitution got a yes vote and it was

a very large majority of people know especially it's not an confortable to do you you know the problem is that the e.u. may be it's uncomfortable 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 is also true that there's a lot of the spanish dept is not that high is actually lower than that than the average in europe. the markets have been very hard on the 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 or to particularly noisy this thursday in the last day we did the month since national airspace has to all fall the back never said men and their flying 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 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 cab in just a few moments as potential buyers are already here to check it out for themselves we can go. well of course this is not the only military aircraft that is the headliner of this year's air show marks the fifty is another one lined up together with america's f.

twenty two and a half 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 it secret what we do know is that its most prominent feature is going to be that it's very difficult to detect it by eighty radars 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 in 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 for the general audience the most exciting part of the show is air about six russian nights. oh we'll be performing for them together with us. while it sounds

one of our correspondents actually found out what it's like to be one one of those planes during the performance. engines check him strawman's 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. 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. 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 on your own controlling the plane then when you land you've done it i think you're a real pilot at that point. we as moves are always trying to hone their maneuvers

they practice most weekends thinking of new tricks and practicing old ones for me but they're bored we come up with stones and then research them but it often turns i repeat been done before nested of a russian came up with the loop 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. so when you leave the cockpit you can squeeze a gallon of sweat from your suit your knees are shaking because it's extremely difficult stressful and anyone would feel that way. so with that gut wrenching fare ringing in my ears i was told it was my turn for the crowds on the ground. and 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 to. the only thing. that hit. it. but i could also see some of the strains that go through. there there's no to get the 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 those speeding planes spirit thought for the pilot inside. tom bottom on t. v stay with us he throughout the day as we bring you more update on live coverage from the banks at twenty seven international asked how in the mosque a region right now they stay tuned for that it's business. getting their. hungry for the fall slump we've gone to. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers.

on for months twenty twenty five years and since it's been 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 are accused of property sabotage and label them as terrorists someone you destroy property. with absolutely zero intention of harming a single human being. in my mind it's not a terrorist real people who are green in this country are the housewives who recycle. and the children who play trees on the weekend with their cub scout troops that's the. challenge. john.
