global finances. welcome it's nine pm you're watching r.t. it's kind of it all in here in moscow with you this hour on the top story in the last few hours a huge bomb has exploded in the very center of norway's capital oslo damaging parliamentary buildings including the prime minister's office two deaths have been reported at least fifteen are injured police say more people are still trapped in the shattered buildings lottie's daniella logar is in although she's at the airport very close to the city there now thanks for bringing us up to date again this hour what is the situation where you are and more important what is the situation in the city center now as you can make out. well i've been told by we had a press service here at the airport that it's absolute pandemonium in terms of what

way would be the least being in charge of everything that's going on there but that isn't affecting the way the airport is operating at all there's been reports that the airport is shut down i can tell you for certain but it absolutely has not been interesting you are definitely not greener of the situation it's going on in the center you can buy a ticket to get to the city by train whatever that is that the central train station itself is closed so passengers aren't really going to about what's going on but the police are definitely on top of this as i heard before to equal and that in this explosion took place in the parliamentary building in the center of its baby prime minister of the charge he is oh ok and not another incident that you heard about is the shooting at you which is outside of all slow care we have teenagers that are tweeting teens are scared to get out. from

a man shooting. from a participant in you still there is a lot of. just a lot going on in norway there are. think there are just small writing and public transportation and it's. all i'll hold our continuing will all work then those injured are still in the building. that's what you're done your love got a bit of all news on that i can just in the last few minutes to fathom across the news wires see the c.n.n. news agency reporting that police say they're sending anti terror police to a youth camp outside oslo after reports as you were saying there of a shooting following the bomb blast earlier on the government headquarters a news site reporting that a man dressed in a police uniforms opened fire at the camp that says several people have been injured. police chief terry units have been sent to the camp of the toy outside the

norwegian capital who didn't have any other information at the moment of course as you saying this coming just hours after the devastation in the center there we're just looking at pictures of the injured so far the death toll officially confirmed as to judging by the scale of the devastation we've seen especially in that government building that seventeen story high building where every window were being blown out sadly it could be the case that the death toll will rise we have heard reports unconfirmed reports that. there could be dead in there certainly there are people still trapped there is the police and rescue so it is trying to get to them let me just talk about the airport where you are because you can give us a firsthand experience of your saying that there's no news coming through you saying that the train station is closed i guess is there a backlog of passengers arriving at the airport now trying to get into the city

center were they going. well. flowing here like you said passenger it's really parts of. the center. ground transportation authority is our city. halls is. it's. right center. that's the reason it's not an issue around each store. thanks for bringing us what you know so far we also got a news report through to police officers said that there was another package being found the norwegian broadcaster t.v. two reporting. that the police are investigating another suspicious package found in the sense of police have sealed off that part of the area we don't know any more details about that but just to bring you a little bit more about that news line that's come through in the last few minutes

not in the city center reports according to the a.p. to get an a.p. news agency just coming through the police say they're sending anti terror police to this youth camp now outside although after reports of the shooting being heard their initial reports the shots coming from a man dressed in a police uniform not clear if he was a policeman or just someone dressed in a police uniform obviously horrifying for the children the kids involved in the. reporting of the swimming out to sea to try and get away from whatever again details still sketchy will bring you more as we know it here on our c you know i spoke to robin simcox he is from a geo political research group the henry jackson society told me the bomb attack in oslo only goes to show that terrorism can strike any place any time. no european countries are on a level of awareness for al qaeda inspired attacks but norway isn't someone that

you've regarded as being especially high target the rest of the place in two thousand and nine were very significant for the fact that norway was almost not on the radar before to forty thousand and nine so i think getting the fact that the minister said this is the most damaging thing that's happened to norway said it all this wasn't a country that people regarded as being especially likely to be hits which also just reconfirms that this type of terrorism is indiscriminate and who it's hard gets in and makers to show that really anywhere is a game target for the likes of al qaida if it is proved who who took at least a time we know there are extremist elements within european countries and those who sympathize with our criteria or ideology even if not the full members of the al qaeda group the city i live in london has been a huge problem for this in the past so i think you have to do is that all european countries have to have to you have to treat this problem with the extreme

seriousness it deserves because interethnic the police the security services and law enforcement agencies can really track in this kind of terrorism every takes one group one individual to be lucky once and if you have the kind of scenes that we're seeing in oslo at the moment so overall we can be reason really talk about the most vigilant approach we possibly can to this kind of terrorist threat because it is so serious. all right we've got some more now through the shooting of. this couple who associated press news agency we're now hearing the spokesman for norway's labor party says a gunman opened fire at the party's youth camp outside oslo i mentioned being reported to be at a place called a toy or. we're hearing that several people were shot at this was after the bomb blast earlier on the government headquarters in the capital not immediately clear of course if these attacks are related no the labor spokesman quoted here. told the

a.p. news agency that a man dressed in a police uniform started shooting it used for the party's annual youth camp there in a toy it's an island just outside oslo he said unconfirmed reports suggest that five people had been hit he went on to say they don't know how seriously injured but those five were. said that some seven hundred youngsters mostly teenagers aged between fourteen and eighteen were assembled at the camp there if you just joined us the main news today is that a bomb blast has shattered a building in the center of oslo these are the latest pictures we've got through there it's caused a lot of devastation to one building particularly there. at the moment so we're hearing there could be some dead inside one of the worst affected buildings the seventeen to twenty story high building that was the prime minister's office building the prime minister incidentally is ok but we're also hearing that people

the police fear are still trapped in that building tonight the confirmed dead details still coming through let's talk on the line now in london to mark ullman he's history lecturer from oriel college oxford university mark thanks pete on the program first of all if it was a bomb there are also reports of a shooting at a youth rally what do you think is making norway such a target tonight. well we have to careful about leaping to conclusions but the most likely explanation is that norway's involvement as a nato member in the various armed actions line with nato from libya to afghanistan . the basis for some backlash and whether a backlash comes from a libyan group or or generally from an islamic group which is called to the region nato involvement. is seen and i should say we should remember that back in oklahoma

city nine hundred eighty five hundred thousand were honorable federal rest there were everybody left must work because i'm a terrorist and it turned out to work i'm very christian. missionary. with the proviso that we we should don't rule out other possibilities the most likely explanation is obviously there are no ways political involvement. and attack harmless and i think we're going to is one of those legal hoops and the other is perhaps if there's a stretch accoutrement all heard an islamic group they might signal errors or so high court action. if you think about it places like london or paris and even recall that terrorist attacks over the years even a quite dramatic attack or so has this attack on. members of is going to cause a unicorn were must necessarily have had such an effect in rural carousels perhaps in norway which isn't very peaceful for a long time. and you know in gold and in the regions in iran saluting thousands of

miles by american country all of the security alert have been like in norway as new saying earlier on is traditionally a pretty peaceful place so that was bearing in mind that a bomb attack in scandinavia late last year of course but the terror alert as high as as in the rest of western europe thinking to take me britain. will host a few weeks ago when we can please to do arrest some people lay claim reports on islamic park. terrorist attack in norway and they may have been part of what has now happened so. there will be higher if it was the case of a car bomb was planted. with somebody able to bring a critical report next to the prime minister's office or very close to it what kind of security. even if they haven't had the experience of terrorism groups around and harrison recent years. thought you homegrown when american actions. are things like

this one would have been some of the calls and some may have been the case may be limited in fact but it does seem to be an extraordinary. security police claim to have intercepted and arrest in the number of. weeks so it may not be ripe fruit market still early days the details coming through in the last ten minutes or so. a shooting at a nearby youth club laving youth club a very soft target no matter how you look at that we're hearing blind initial reports only it has to be said that the shots were coming from someone dressed in a police uniform as i say a soft target it despicable. yes or no i think that's it was it terrorist attack. as you will easily be sort of or they were going to make or break but it is organized and confirms that and i concur it's hard to several different actions on the same very to cause considerable alarm in

a place like ours where we are most people sort of it's a very peaceful place what we would see is what is the political impact the way will the scandinavian kind of. reveal with its actions. will they be. a show solidarity as it were presumes if it is or terrorist attack based upon those little consider the idea is to say to me what we can program to say we don't want to be in for a long battle. we will go we we've got a norwegian minister saying that this is the most serious incident that oslo has faced tonight. i'm certainly. certainly the most violent incident in since the second world war and also it was much warmer. why do you think norway is being targeted here. if we don't know if these. attacks are linked in any

way but al qaeda comes to mind doesn't it. will be look there is a. can sympathize with. you you could call al qaeda like the actions that norway and its allies around the world at least. and maybe in a sense carrying out revenge for the death was an maybe what influenced also was going to be a section place that you. could allow use for sort of people just like that's. likely going to. look here who are working for a russian are with terrorists. and terrorism or are they attack. russian or maybe that all the countries you can remain two or three friends seems we. have. an operation. in norway is a bigger interest and perhaps twenty or thirty people killed you. all right mark colvin

thank you for your input there are programs and i join you some from oxford thanks taking the time thank you. the terror attacks on norway is a huge bomb has exploded in the very center of its capital oslo is our main story tonight it's damaged parliamentary buildings including the prime minister's office two deaths have been reported so far at least fifteen are reported to have been injured police say more people are still trapped in the shattered buildings there in the senate promised against is said to be safe state secretary christian edmondson earlier on added at the situation is the worst his country has ever seen quote reports suggest a car go on and the blast was so powerful that it blew out windows over a one kilometer radius witnesses say the nearby all ministry building was also caught fire with thick smoke seen rising from it there are reports that two other devices were found that failed to go off police are evacuating people from the city

center and also those central railway station meantime in a separate it's a gunman is reportedly dressed as a policeman has opened fire at a youth rally outside although it's injured four according to reports anti terror police have been sent to the count was some seven hundred teenagers have gathered that's what we know at the moment of course details coming through thick and fast no joining us live to discuss the blast in the region power but let's talk to a danish journalist hell agree there thanks for being with us. from initial reports it does look like a full scale terror attack on a country why norway could it be a connection with with the danish cartoons maybe in two thousand and six depicting the prophet mohammed they were printed in there in a norwegian paper to recently. yes good evening yes certainly one has islamic terrorism in mind and has also in mind. the

norwegian engagement in afghanistan and maybe i should also mention that i work for a norwegian think sign called human rights service. based in copenhagen but the think tank has a little small office in the heart of are slow and the building has also been badly damaged no one has been hurt luckily but not always one of the founding members of nato involved afghanistan and iraq and more recently libya could these attacks just be about revenge. they certainly could it could be linked to foreign policy it could as you mentioned be as sensitive to with the mohammed cartoons we have seen sort of protest in the capital of no win or slow you know linked to a truce and certainly this could very well be the case. europe has been reset with issues over immigration as well maybe another angle here

some saying it was given safe haven to terrorists might lax immigration policies be a factor maybe beyond these attacks in a very. i think we can say that it might have something to do with it one could ask why norway and why not then mark and i think that the danish intelligence service has luckily prevented terror attacks in copenhagen and maybe just maybe the norwegian intelligence service has not been as alert as it should have been because one has simply not expected this and we know that all over europe in the u.k. and france in denmark in no way if you sort of look back through the years. certainly one has given safe haven to people who should never never have got an asylum and it's early days and a very few days before we speculate in all about what may have caused this it must say as well of course very much as well tonight with the families and friends of

those that have perished and beautiful family and friends and everyone that is injured as well as first and foremost of our minds but you know this attack become a nail do you think in a coffin of europe's multiculturalism after all and of merkel proud because they're dead some time ago. oh she certainly did and i think she was she was right on target because. we do not know get responsible for this. would be that it would be some kind of terrorism and. one is not surprised that this has happened and seen it several times we saw it nine eleven. then we have seen the failed attacks. in copenhagen and now in norway and of course the european governments and also the you know we think

governments have to sort of rethink the frame of mind to call it ok. thank you for being on the programs appreciate it will just bring you up to date if you've just joined us in just catching up with this news in the last few years a very sad story emerging from oslo tonight the norwegian capital a massive bombs going off in a central it is the latest pictures we've got through in an office says the prime minister's office wearing the prime ministry in saudi said to be saved by state secretary christian. saying within last few hours the situation is the worst this country's ever seen preliminary reports that a car bomb has gone off the blast was so powerful indeed it blew out windows over a one kilometer radius witnesses say the nearby oil ministry building was also caught fire with thick smoke seen rising from it a bit of conflicting news earlier reports saying it was a car bomb and some other reports saying it may have gone off inside
