where did it take. for the we've got it for. the biggest issues get the cuban voice face to face with the news makers on. snotty live here in moscow our breaking news this hour rebels claim to control the libyan capital after major nato backed the violence and there are reports of three of colored about his sons have been captured by the opposition but the location of the libyan leader is still unknown and the opposition supporters rejoice hoping the forty year old regime is nearing a dead end but skeptics point to the disillusionment the fall of the fall of egypt's dictator. and the international reaction ranges from euphoria to outright caution and the concern over the likelihood of an unstable rebel government torn apart by competing interests. when it's not just the u.k.
12:31 pm
justice system under scrutiny following riots there are these other planets has been talking to the british author jones about the problems in society the unrest has exposed that's in our exclusive interview next here on r.t. not about what i had lines after that. i'm joined by jones author of a book called the demonization of the working classes thanks jill dougherty the demonization of the working classes what do you mean by that have to do with the riots i think there's been this mix 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 for the class what we saw with these rights advocates it's i think linked to the sense because it's helped reinforce this i this is for everyone
12:32 pm
in the class which is waiting you know which is not only lazy in fact with also violent which is how the government and right wing commentators have been trying get why is there this myth about the working class is how is 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 and institutions not trade union council housing values which in communities were very strong like solidarity in favor of rugged individualism by the end of the eighty's there wasn't the same sense of being able to be proud of being a working class everyone supposed to seem to become middle class you know that that for aspiration means in britain so because of all that was the working class became the trade in a very negative way particularly as we became all equal and in a more equal society people justify that inequality by saying right actually the
12:33 pm
people at the bottom of that because they deserve to be there they're lazy they're violent. and that is a justification for inequality and that's not to say they want social problems in this country right violence and crime or whatever but the world in five young people now it's of work in the community worth the fact by the top of the third. for the employed people facing chasing every drop so i think problems what we saw last week another a whole range of other social problems i think all employment and poverty provide for a tile ground from the growth this is 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 in saying this is this is a broken society do you think that's just a way of covering up the ills of a society they've created absolutely i mean basically what they're trying to do is
12:34 pm
to 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 you know in this country now there's a problem of lack of jobs we've got to have three people unemployed and another million on incapacity benefit we're going to put into work as often 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 behaviors that follow and that's what's need to be so that's what needs to be sorted out not the issue addressed to not agree with some extent knowing that these people were clearly have no idea that violence is not the answer i mean no one's justify what happened and understanding it's the whole are 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 is five people young people out of a job that only takes
12:35 pm
a small proportion of those people feel they have to risk to react in this way to bring chaos and violence in the streets of our city and i mean there's other issues too i think i think consumerism and that 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 your people want to be part of the society but there's a whole. people particularly poor communities who 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 mixed with hyper consumerism helps create that situation that we saw in the shop you mentioned this inequality but the u.k. is causing for some time there's been some mix rich and poor living in the same areas green council houses that are filling areas and vice a versa you know things work. i think the problem. is you end up with lots of shops
12:36 pm
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 of so-called fact it's good to be mixing but the problem in london is one of the most cities in the western world the top ten percent are over two hundred sixty times richer than the bottom percent so they see you have people living alongside some of the richest people in the world looking at live they will in all likelihood never help and what we need to do is tackle inequality because the moment people are getting a fair share of the british economy. well we need more progressive taxation we need . those on the rich in order to take more people at the bottom out of
12:37 pm
taxation altogether we need a living wage so people profits and especially a place like expensive cities on the planet in the way the country is just not enough to live on you can't support a family with it so these are huge social problems that aren't being addressed and we have these problems at a time when people at the top are richer than ever is this also case then of the bad example being set from the top down for being m.p.'s expenses scandal bankers. bonuses still getting paid despite the crisis if we look at the m.p.'s in particular he stood up to the noun sleazily to just three years ago they were embroiled in a huge expenses scandal let's be honest they were taking money from the taxpayer to get the same sort of widescreen t.v. ads that were being carted out of shops last week give you one example general councilman back and he he still looked at them and actually taken a salute is he claimed eight and a half thousand pounds for buying in all of them televisions that whilst one twenty three year old has just been sent to prison for six months for stealing three
12:38 pm
pounds fifty worth of water to the right so yes we have a has plunged into an academic crisis with the politicians he stole from the taxpayer we recently have a news international scandal where police were being bribed by journalists what happened last week was more disorderly that all that but the example of beings that are taught the way the government is dealing with this choosing it's a way for them to kind of legitimize right wing ideals of things like type of policing cracking down on social media i think these 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 attacks on people on benefits we've seen attacks on single parents this idea fatherless families co-sponsor of all we've seen recently david starkey the historian trying to black people in black culture and we're now talking about in florida terry crackdown in terms of law and order attacks and civil liberties by government which promised
12:39 pm
a defensive liberties against the attacks from new labor and even as you say attacks on the idea that social media should be closed down which didn't even happen a lot of authoritarian regimes when they were all poisoned care about them you mentioned them starting that you're involved in the debate where he. mentioned the whites of macumba it's another course as there has been talk of multiculturalism. the failure of it being the cause of these wrongs do you give any kind of credence to that argument without the racial issue coming into play in these riots let me be clear about david starkey what he said was a very racist this is an attempt to scapegoat people this whole range of people involved from different ethnic backgrounds a common factor with all of them is poverty and unemployment and again it's not just a creation what happened was completely inexcusable if you have enough people who don't feel they have a future of whatever ethnic background they're only takes a small proportion and to respond in this outrageous way to bring kind of flipped
12:40 pm
a limb that that 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 can still plan on going through when it does do things things will get worse i think the danger is that these riots a dark force of much worse. the perfect storm was the crops which haven't yet as rising youth unemployment the government took away the educational maintenance allowance which was paid to pour over six in your favor education university tuition fees have been troubled all of these together breed continue to preach huge you don't get more devastatingly increasing numbers of people who feel they have and they feel they have nothing to look forward to and i think we could see a lot worse down the line when. the government's response when you criticize it as kneejerk the same time seems to be mirroring public opinion the public want the
12:41 pm
government to crack down on the perpetrators and they want to be punished severely nothingness a good idea look people are angry people are scared because of what happened but this should be a test of the more chrissy in a country like there. is an inevitable backlash that should not let people allow justice to be said that in this country. they couldn't are now talking of taking away benefits and council houses from those who were involved in the riots now what that says he will be punished twice for a pig committing a crime if you are 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. proportionate to the crime and the idea of attacking poor people more than the all the people for punishing them twice is fundamentally unjust and also self-defeating because if you take away all forms of income and all sons of housing from people
12:42 pm
then what reason is there not to be involved in criminality i mean in effect that because it only means of survival so i think this is near hysteria gripping the magistrates' in this country and we need to resist up on jones thank you. as you know shawn was sixteen years old when he committed these murders that's not inside the song so or should not be punished for his crimes sean is being punished no rational person can deny that tone has been punished is been punished and will be punished. by sours must be executed for the brutal crime committed this is a punishment this is not. imagine.

keef. koofi multi-vitamins called breaking news this hour rebels trying to control the libyan capital from major nato back to yvonne's and therefore free of comfort that his sons are being counted on the opposition but the location of the libyan leader is unknown. opposition supporters rejoice hoping the forty year old regime is nearing a dead end and skeptics point to the bitter disillusionment that followed the fall of egypt's dictator. and the international reaction ranges from you for it out right caution may concern over the likelihood of an unstable rebel government torn apart by competing interests. want more from me in less than fifteen minutes from now on any time it's a sports news of kate and after a weekend of football action across the continent she'll have news of
