3:10 am
this rate they won't be any space left by most prisons in britain wandsworth was a bursting point even before the riots just forty five people short of it's not some capacity of one thousand six hundred sixty five but that's already fifty percent over its recommended limit two out of three prisons currently exceed this divide safe limit inmates double up in cells all over the nine square meters sharing and open toilets most prisons are in desperate need of upgrade wandsworth was built in the victorian period times literally stood still but nothing escapes austerity here especially when it costs forty five thousand pounds a year to howes an inmate a prison building schemes been reversed despite prisoner numbers doubling in the last two decades staff and now outnumbered four to one. has actually
3:11 am
only fractionally increased by a couple of percent but we're expected to commit the same job of rehabilitation in such difficult circumstances and in effect. which is where those prisoners are and i don't think that is the answer to society's problems the government thinks it is encouraging tougher sentences to deter more writers like this man who got sixteen months for stealing just two scoops of ice cream but others fear that the cramped conditions this will only if you really offending if you send people to prison. suggests that it is it is nor. is the most effective way of reducing reoffending we know certainly with young people and people in short term prison sentences up to seventy percent of people were. if i'm within twelve months of coming out that can not be
3:12 am
a good king soopers or citizen afterwards appearing at the prison service insists it has enough prison places for those being sentenced to custody as a result of public disorder adding there is substantial capacity in the prison system but the numbers suggest otherwise pushing an already stretched system to breaking point either bennett r.t. london. well for more on the social protests engulfing israel you can head to our web site at our t.v. dot com and also on our web site you'll find plenty of other stories and features but here's a taste of what we've got for you today. america's ailing car making capital fines and can't get out of reverse gear as the country's government admits it's failing to create jobs for its millions of unemployed citizens. and a live music fireworks and

3:14 am
video. my old. street now in the palm of your. machine on the call. of protesters in israel prepare to pull down their towns and have occupied the main streets of tel aviv and jerusalem since mid june. well they say the weekend's demonstrations by hundreds of thousands of people have achieved their aim of mobilizing public opinion activists are angry at the high cost of living and failing social policies they plan to continue their protest until the government proposes a real steps to resolve the situation well we can now talk to you know our rising from israeli political version and the national left no thank you very much for being here with us in the program so that we can saw the largest pro system protest across israel yet gathering over four hundred thousand people there so how much of
3:15 am
an impact did that make. i guess we can see the impact. there too that was. chosen by the prime minister to show this emotion. of the point. that the prime minister says about it we're going to decide to do with this little room to act. i think there's testament to the pope this do. furthermore i believe if prime minister blair will do anything. close to true even more quarters to find their way to show contempt for him and that room and i believe it will be a good week to a man to see there was a out of the demonstration but what about the protesters themselves i mean they are
3:16 am
taken down there to hance now but they say they will continue to demand a change. yes the camps. are very very strong quietist but it can't last forever school started university starts now discipline is coming and this is the time and next that the next step to translate the path that popular protest into political measures to see how we can change the current government that. the current government is map a government that can change and will grow the new society in israel so i think the next step will be to create a. political entity that can give the solutions and to keep on the path of coming and live. one else protests in israel have been compared to the arab spring dots
3:17 am
and gulf it's neighbors so how justified do you think this comparison as. i think would compare become past. relatively saying that looking around the area of the middle east is rising. back there are many many many global concerns both of those members of the mackesy. think that the arab states don't have. the arab people don't have a legitimate legitimacy to to protest and we do have. i have riders who are very very very violent people basically had nothing to lose they're prepared to die for their cause in israel the coldest is violent you could see in saturday you know the place where where the port is took place is one of the richest places with all the stores like we've gone or also and and if you would think about it as

an arab what is probably stores would be shattered and broken into the court this is very very very silent people are listening people are. and we have to like to do it in political right the third democratic right so there is a great difference with the democracy and. they already know razi from the israeli social political movement the national left thanks very much for being here in this in the program and sharing your thoughts with us thanks for having us. as u.s. troops begin their gradual pullout from ghana stand concern grows over the surge in targeted killings and violent attacks in the country meanwhile the u.s. has talked commander in afghanistan general david petraeus has bid farewell to the army after thirty seven years as he has for his new job as head of the cia our military contributor looks now at what he's leaving behind the main legacy of general patrols career. he's on the doubt early of
3:19 am
a counterinsurgency doctrine we chico we have u.s. marine general martin dempsey the importance is not only limited to the effect that general petraeus pioneered and led the way to recess aetate to revamp grades and to promote the counterinsurgency doctrine in the new century the most significant fact is that general. doctrine has ignited the intellectual awakening all across the military services and well beyond the united states it was the first step into the right direction from the calcified my bunker mentality conventional wishful thinking into the new vision of the world that some of the general trails to be able to respect it remember and that my and for well beyond the military community because it was he's in color actual endeavor with the coin dog training and that precipitated the parity shift in the

3:21 am
a shift in economic politics and plays one is to show i'm not another way of looking at it is really the rising rate of emerging market countries and i think you're thinking of a word in which there would be a large number of relatively equal economic grouping as you want to global system that can accommodate that if it can't be a global system which is run only by saying this is the center of power and everybody else must adjust. and you can watch the full interview in an hour's time here on r t let's bring you now some other stories from around the world health concerns have cast a shadow over the upcoming trial of former french president jacques chirac a seven year old faces two counts of embezzlement punishable by up to ten years in prison for suffering from a condition which affects his memory the judge will consider medical evidence before deciding whether to perspire the trial or allow it to continue absence. the
