dot com. for the full story we've got it from. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers. welcome back you without you live from moscow right now and how close for the afternoon breaking news for you this hour libyan rebels reportedly gained control of the capital after a major nato back to advance but sources in tripoli tell us here at r.t. it's too early to say that could effie's regime has fallen therefore is that one of his sons is leading troops directly into the heart of the. opposition supporters rejoice hoping to forty year old regime is nearing a dead end but skeptics point to the bitter disillusionment that followed the fall of egypt's that time. and the international reaction a ranges from euphoria to outright caution and concern over the likelihood of an

unstable rebel government torn apart by competing interests. and in other news turning to a truce israel and hamas reportedly agreed to restore a fragile ceasefire following a series of fresh rocket exchanges. but it's not just justice system under scrutiny following. his art about it talk to british author jones about the problems in society that the unrest expires. i'm joined by owen jones all through a book called chan the demonization of the working classes thanks for talking to r.t. zation of the working classes what do you mean by that and have to do with the riots i think there's been this myth which the political establishment and journalists alike embrace basically everybody in britain is middle class and all that remains

of the old working class is a sort of problematic fact within the class what we saw with these riots complicates it i think in a sense because it helps reinforce this are there is this terrible in the class which is waiting you know which is not only lazy in fact was also violent which is how the government and lightning commentators have been trying to get why is this myth about the working class and how was it created and why the riots being blamed on them well i think what we saw in the 1980's in this country was an attack on a lot the pillars of working class britain industries that sustained a lot of communities institutions trade unions council housing values which in communities were very strong solidarity in favor of good individual of them by the end of the eighty's there wasn't the same sense of being unable to be proud of being working class everyone supposed to seem to become middle class you

know that for for exploration means in britain so because of all that was the working class became a trade in a very negative way particularly as we came all equal and in a more equal society people justify that inequality by saying we're actually the people at the bottom of that because they deserve to be there they're lazy they're violent bigoted they're stupid and that is it justification for inequality and that's not to say they want social problems in this country like drugs and crime or whatever but the one in five young people narrative work in some of the communities worst effects in fact probably why it's not top of the. thirty four people facing chasing every drop so i think problems that we saw last week are not a whole range of the social problems i think all employment and poverty provide fertile ground for growth so as not to justify it is just to try and explain why these things happen in order to stop it from happening again so using politicians

have been quick to blame all of this on shia criminality insane and as a broken society do you think that's just a way of covering up the ills of the society they've created an absolutely i mean basically what they're trying to do is turn a social issue into a moral issue they're reinforcing the idea that if your particular benefits are part of mass unemployment that your behavior is at fault when actually in this country now there's a problem of lack of jobs. half million people unemployed than of the million incapacity benefits are going to put into work there's less than half a million vacancies there's not enough jobs to go around it's very convenient for the government to say actually all these people on unemployment benefits are is their own behavior is at fault and that's what's need to be so that's what needs to be sorted out not the usual grass that you not agree with some extent knowing these people who are clearly have no idea that violence is not the answer i mean no one's justifiable understanding it's the whole starting what has to be this must never

happen again people must never be terrorized in their communities as they were last week with what in five people young people out of a job only takes a small proportion of those people who feel they have no future to risk to act in this way to bring chaos and violence to the streets of our cities and i mean there's other issues too i think i think consumerism an actual she with society has a lot of responsibility in britain your status has so much to do with what you possess and what you wear. for a lot of all young people want to be part of a consumer society but there's a high. group of people sit for important in it if you feel they have no access to it and in a perverse way i think that's what we saw in places like hackney where you got some of the poorest people living on some of the richest right in the sense of london and i think that kind of inequality mix with hyper consumerism helps create that situation that we saw in the shop you mentioned this inequality but the case policy

for some time has been some mix rich and poor living in the same areas bring in council houses that have areas and vice a versa nothing that's worked then i think the problem. is you end up with lots of shops pricing out a lot the people who live there actually pushes up the cost of living for the people but yes i think mixing and social mixing is good you only have to look at paris where the rich are concentrated in the middle and the poor concentrate on the idea the so-called fact it's good to be mixing the problem in london is one of the cities in the western world the top one percent over two hundred sixty times richer and the bottom ten percent so then we see you have people living alongside some of the richest people in the world looking at live they will likely have never held. what we need to tackle that inequality because at the moment people are getting a fair share of the british economy so how do you bridge that gap where we need

more progressive taxation we need higher taxes on rich in order to take more people at the bottom. of taxation altogether and we need a living wage so if at the bottom especially a place like london we're most expensive cities on the planet the minimum wage in the country is just not one of the little you can't support a family with at least a huge social problems which aren't being addressed and we have these problems at a time when people at the top are richer than ever this is also a case then of the bad example being set from the top down having m.p.'s expenses scandal bank. bonuses still getting paid despite the crisis if we look at the m.p.'s in particular he stood up to the now they saluted just three years ago they were embroiled in a huge expenses scandal let's be honest they went state taking money from the tax there to get the same sort of wide screen t.v. that been carted up shots last week if you want example general counsel and. he he

stood up to them and actually taken a salute is that he claimed eight and a half thousand pounds for buying all of them television whilst one twenty three year old has just been sent to prison for six months for stealing three hundred fifty worth of water to a right so yes we have a bankers who plunged into an academic crisis with the politicians and stole from the taxpayer we recently have a news international scandal where police are being bribed by journalists what happened last week was more disorderly than all right but example of things that are the top the way the government is dealing with this choosing it's a way for them to kind of legitimize the right wing ideals of things like top of policing cracking down on social media i believe rights have been manipulated by the government quite frankly people are understandably angry and they're scared but what this government is doing is using rap to justify some people on benefits we've seen attacks on single parents inside their fatherless families are responsible

we've seen recently david starkey the historian trying to scapegoat black people in black culture and we're now talking about an exploratory crackdown in terms of law and order attacks and civil liberties by government which promised the defensive liberties against the attacks from new labor and even as you say attacks on the idea that social media to replace that which didn't even happen and what our father terry regime when they were all poisons got about an inch and they were stark if you're involved in that debate where he. mentioned the lights of the come blacks and other courses there's been talk of multiculturalism. well the failure of it being the cause of these riots do you give any credence to that argument about the racial issue coming into play in these riots let me be clear about david starkey what he said was a very racist this was an attempt to scapegoat report this of a whole range of people involved from different ethnic backgrounds the common factor with all of that is poverty and unemployment and again it's not just

a vacation what happened was completely inexcusable if you have a lot of people who don't feel they have a future of whatever ethnic background that only takes a small proportion to respond in this outrageous way it's been kind of the take a look at the multiculturalism and ethnic groups have nothing to do with what happened we still haven't seen the full effects of the austerity cuts things like higher education police still planned on going through when it does these things things will get worse i think the danger is that these riots a dark force much worse. the perfect storm because the cuts which haven't yet because rising youth unemployment the government took away the educational maintenance allowance which was paid to pour over six in your office then education and university tuition fees have been troubled all of these together a breeding breed continued to breach huge resentment that more devastating rate

increasing numbers of people who feel they have anything they feel they have nothing to look forty and i think we could see a lot worse down the line when the courts the government's response when you criticize is kneejerk the same time since the mirroring public opinion the public want the government to crack down on the perpetrators they want and punished severely to nothing as a good idea look people are angry people are scared because of what happened but this should be a test of democracy in a country like there. are already there's an inevitable backlash that that should not let people allow this to be subverted this current. they couldn't and i'm talking of taking away benefits and council houses from those who were involved in the riots now what that says is you will be punished twice for pig committing crime if you're poor because obviously that will not affect anyone it doesn't account for the harm and isn't on benefits now i think we need to be just the. nice thing

proportionate to the crime and the idea of attacking poor poor poor more than the pork for punishing them twice is fundamentally unjust and also self defeat take because if you take away all forms of income i don't forms of housing from people then what reason is there not to be involved in criminality i mean in effect because i need a survival so i think this is a near hysteria gripping the magistrate in this country we need to visit i mean jones thank you. as you know song was sixteen years old when he committed these murders that's not to say that song so it should not be punished for his crimes so on is the no rational person in the night. has been punished is being punished and will be

punished. most hours must be executed for the brutal crime committed this is a punishment this is not. to mention. that it's. because he's. been immersed in your wants to hear. how i didn't come here just. can't hurt the person. started a small. violent wife. and my sister.

after twenty two months of super. pensive nick so. that's the number one is to grab any flies on the stroke of half time that owning amy is six stone this season however with twenty minutes to go down the prudent course struck it's. thirty five games with two points of their opponent's mistake. when i mean one of those flipped if this lucky coming back to go one moment. this is probably right after twenty six minutes to a close range i think both. early in the second oath but still remained on the spot not our second votes and you know there are safety. files ready because when it goes to shit called it the most it must go all three points and the person of the railway man are not undefeated in six states and

doesn't stand a chance in why they stay won by speaking of. law they go festing cousin and out of school band trash some of these guys you know the signify only a few minutes. and then it is second in first stoppage time. because you need to rest all the great. go get a book or sing maybe three mil to have. some coffee made it for real after seventy minutes is time to be root. and they might not have all that person also something else making the rounds in the dying minutes so find a spectacular victory for. them in the last six games. so after all the action to take

a look at the top of the table after twenty one games to start remain top two point two zero eight now off five points further interest closely followed by cancer last night. while the other and clear sets up a spade but they're pouring their way back to st james after me one point out of the bus stop and scott analytic. well i bring that it's much the city here lead the way after reading three to it also to play in their second straight victory from the opening two games in the premier league that is over gareth barry evan jack i will tell you the business is elsewhere one wants to escape relegation last may be for them to know to also make it series from two australians a last gasp drop that you always know rich by side still sits in that season and i'm still ninety i was taught this is monday night. in the meantime more pressure has been heaped on austin manager arsene wenger after picking up just one point from two games since the start of the domestic season and the gunners we have to do
