this is the notion of being linked with the same man who thought to be a right wing extremist with anti muslim views on the seventeenth of july he still to have posted a twitter feed where he has said that one person with a belief is equal to the force of a hundred thousand who have only interests so he thought of posted radical tweets leading up to this attack initially a group including helpers of the global jihad came out and said that they took responsibility for the bombing but then they retracted that of course norway is is participating in the libyan and afghanistan war efforts as part of nato and the just last winter there were dozens of islamic militants arrested throughout western europe in connection with with planned bombings police told people to stay out of the city center to avoid using mobile phones the exits to the borders of norway where shots immediately after the blast and roads leading into and trains leading

into the capital were also whole tid now we've we've heard that soldiers are on the streets with machine guns police also and it's being called the worst attack since world war two perhaps the worst shooting spree in history but it's still unclear whether this was the brutal act of one individual or the work of an organization u.s. based war correspondent hamann snail please we may never learn what really happened on the island and that there was ample reason for cells to target norway. it's not unusual for a government or an organization to which works with the media system to control information the way that norway norwegian media does or the norwegian government does to hide the facts something like this until they've decided that they want to tell the truth about what really happened in some cases the public will never learn the truth about what really happened but obviously to keep the public from becoming too frightened they want to keep the numbers down a lot

a lot of parents wondering if their children have been killed and so there's a lot of reasons why governments control this kind of information norway has a huge role in the missions with the i said forces in afghanistan lebanon somalia uganda norway has committed to planes to the bombing in libya and they were previously involved in iraq and it's that that wouldn't be surprising either but. again back to the culture and more norway's the fourteenth largest arms importer in the world the highest military expenditures per capita in all of the european countries and yet it's makes a lot of sense that this could be coming back on norway just like you know the chickens come home to roost dr welner accounts from the center for naval analysis says terrorist groups are trying to recruit people of european backgrounds because they would raise the suspicion the statement came out around ten thirty this morning u.s. time. no one challenged it for several hours but then by the afternoon the same

person who had posted the claim posted a retraction and apparently it seems that the forum administrator is where he posted the claim had gotten angry for him attributing it to this group helpers of the global jihad so he had to take down the statement post a retraction the recruitment of people in europe who are not of arab or south asian background who can blend in with the majority population they've been looking for for for these type of folks for a long time because they fly below the surveillance radar. and later this hour we'll have more analysis on the rampage that killed ninety one people. i'm discovering. a communicate with you want to. test yourself and become free. see what nature can give you.

forty two thousand americans die each year car accidents only a thousand. seven hundred thousand people. and thirty two thousand will kill themselves cancer in all its forms kills five hundred sixty thousand of us here part disease is even more devastating to kills over eight hundred seventy thousand americans every year. the latest u.s. government efforts to raise the country's and mammoth fourteen point three trillion dollars debt ceiling collapsed after republican opposition leader walked out of the goshen ations with president obama as the government agreed to raise the debt limit by august the second the country really unable to pay its bills will have to

declare default the effects are being felt already as u.s. federal aviation authority which oversees all civil flights begins to shutdown the critics say that it's unlikely the saudis offer a solution here more taxes more spending cuts times western to marry her oftenest went on to the streets of the big apple to gauge public opinion on all taxation. would you be willing to pay more in taxes just save your government from bankruptcy this week let's talk about that yeah definitely would pay if i knew what they were spending. they're spending on defense. so do you trust your government to spend it correctly i don't trust any of the parties in our country a little bit how much is

a little but. a few percentage points more and that's about it that's about it since fifty percent of the american public does not pay a nickel i would have a problem i believe everybody even if it's a dollar fifty everybody should be in this shared sacrifice it all depends on how much work you know if i'm working hard and i make you my my kids share you know why they want to get taken away from me when people who you know don't. you know you just spend a lot more money in taxes so that more people have more service that. you have to pay for people who aren't working as hard as you yeah yeah. yeah ok with that. yeah i think everybody should have it ok so i think it's ok because if you pay too much taxes you know you take the energy from people who want to work so much texas you have

a better government like in the states that are better government they spend all the money on crazy wars in iraq. so i would first stop the stupid wars and there you don't need a tax increase no matter how you feel about taxes the bottom line is you're probably always going to have to pay them but it's up to your government to use those funds well. the e.u. has announced a new one hundred sixty billion bailout for greece as athens credit rating drops into the dreaded to four category european leaders however made clear they resolved to pulling out of its spiraling debt and any cost but critics one agreeing that the cash injection is necessary for now and it's not nearly enough to get the u.s. back on its feet. president sarkozy has been saying in brussels you know greece is a special case it's received this special support from the europeans and other

countries won't receive that but of course. do we believe that i'm not sure that we do because it's inconceivable that the europeans wouldn't step in. and it's also i think inconceivable that even the resources now available to the financial stability fund the sort of nascent european monetary fund i think they wouldn't really be sufficient in the end it was a sort of battle between the bond markets and the italian government so without wanting to paint nightmare scenario i don't think we're out of the woods yet on the volga river tragedy recovery operation is set to resume on saturday experts will put the finishing touches into pulling the sunken treasure cruiser bulgaria from the river part of the vessel has already been lifted to the surface water to be pumped out in the ship's hull easy to move well experts are eager to examine the

records to determine why exactly sank two weeks ago hundred fourteen people confirmed dead in the tragedy great still listed as missing owner of the ship is under investigation two people have been charged with violating santa regulations. media experts in the usa the mainstream outlets are sacrificing because of their choice of content they say it's become a trend to shout of you the florist sensationalism rather than important news as r.t. is on this to reports u.s. big business and politicians could be directing the shift in style. now to talk about some of today's biggest political stories it's the story behind the story our woe the editorial mission driving the mainstream news cycle and i just kind of sat back i was like wow this is it this is the speaker play by the rules instructions coming straight from the top he said i was just in washington and people in

washington tell me that they're concerned about your tone recently departed m.-s. n.b.c. anchor jank ugur describes the talking to he alleges came from the head of the cable news network the talking to that drove him to leave the station he said i love to be an outsider outsiders are cool but we're not we're insiders. we are there steps former insiders and analysts we interviewed say it's this way of thinking and the mainstream t.v. leading what it leads to a twenty four hour news cycle feels largely are willing to pay c n n eight the woman accused of killing her two year old little girl you would know if the this is your underpants we now learn marina demanded a move al has been wowing her style coverage that an m.s.m. defector says it's cost stations their literate audience and credibility a lot of mainstream television news in particular is in the gutter you're just wasting your time with casey anthony stories with anthony weiner's wiener it's

become a national joke and national shows that protects ad revenue and political currency unlike a core hard hitting story would say they would be stories that offend big corporations and big political power and that's why they're not covered it could explain why more reporters haven't covered for example a secret prison in somalia run by the cia journalist jeremy scahill exposed secrets and says several other american reporters know about it instead this was the response to his story in the case of c.n.n. didn't even mention my report and just basically reprinted a press release from the cia saying that you know they were just assisting the somali government it could explain why networks are redoubling their efforts to cover hard hitting stories instead fresh off the successful ratings of the casey anthony trial you have a network like a.b.c. hiring former kidnapping victim elizabeth smart to cover missing children stories i

mean they basically came out and said we need to do more missing children or missing people stories and so that's what they're going to do and that is going to be a cost to other stories taking away from stories that affect people on a greater scale from jobs to inequality poverty wars and police brutality. the direction seems to be heading ever further in the direction of sensational. and tabloid which if rupert murdoch's news corp scandal is any indication could backfire ultimately that you're going to lose ratings you're going to lose viewers and you know ultimately you may be you may find yourself under investigation networks that pledge to lean forward or claim to be fair and balanced or that call themselves the most trusted name in news c defectors leaving to find an independent outlet if they want to try to live up to those mottos lauren lyster our washington d.c. . or the motivation behind sensationalist rather than fact based journalism maybe the pursuit for higher profits because according to

a spy in their member of the young turks liberal movement the overall goal for the media right now is to profit i mean they're constantly worried about ratings why are they worried about ratings because in the advertising department or in the sales department those ratings need to be presented to advertisers and if you are cut bait think that if you cover stories that are important stories on libya stories on the economy that americans are going to buy it they want the sensationalism they're going to focus on the sensationalism there is an audience out there for it but it's discouraging because people are getting informed on the issues that are that are important to vet the issues that actually affect them on a daily basis and if they think that's going to bring in the money in the ratings then that's what they're going to cover and i think that that's discouraging and i think they're wrong i think they're wrong on that point. well some other international news stories in brief for you now this. is the list militants in

somalia say they're still banning most foreign aid agencies from working in the famine struck country and since denying u.n. reports that somalia the state of disaster in the statements of propaganda in a severe drought has struck the region rendering millions in dire need of food and water the u.n. estimates tens of thousands have already died from shortages. foreign ministers from north and south korea have broken the three a suspension of high level bilateral meetings during official acts took place on just barely a venue for the regional forum the association interrelations the meeting is thought to be a positive step to possible future negotiations on the issue of nuclear weapons in the korean peninsula. korea quit the original back in two thousand and seven. nato has carried out fresh bombing runs on the libyan capital on saturday i think colonel gadhafi is headquarters where abouts of incumbent leading remain unknown on

friday a crowd rallied in tripoli in support of the color of libya has been ravaged by civil war since february when they tell the coalition to get in strikes march. contributor says there's a credibility gap in the advance over the intervention. there is been a lot of talk about. the u.s. policy or the lack of faith to regarding pakistan and afghanistan no less has been said about the nato operation or actually aerial intervention and bombing in libya take a close a look at how the nato aerial bombing in libya is related to american try vies in afghanistan and pakistan on the technical basis yes they nato intervention and indiscriminate bombing in libya could be both the united states

and nato operation but technicalities aside it is not just a tune and a half wars for the united states in reality if not on the ground at least in the air over a levy at the bombing is one hundred percent nato operation timing nato operation against libya demonstrated not on the lack of trust between the united states and pakistan and afghan leadership it is also indicative of a huge credibility gap between the genuine united states of america and its year of paean nato partners. i am observing nature and discover its. leak communicate with the wild and. test yourself and become free and. see what nature can give you

a youth camp run by the governing labor party the gun attack is believed to be the worst of its kind in modern history when it came shortly after a bomb ripped through the heart of the government district of the capital also killing at least seventy police on the island have arrested a thirty two year old norwegian than in connection with the attacks the report of the expressed right wing and anti muslim views in the internet earlier reports suggested the terror group the helpers of global jihad initially claimed responsibility response to the ways involvement in afghanistan but later retracted the statements. and history from oxford university highlights norway's involvement in nato military campaigns as a possible catalyst for tensions in the area. the most likely explanation is

that norway's involvement is a nato member in various factions lining nato from libya to afghanistan we'll have the basis for some backlash now whether that backlash comes from a libyan group or more generally from an islamic group that is hostile to the region later involvement. is what was yet to be seen and i have to say we should remember that back in oklahoma city in one thousand nine hundred five when it was a huge moment. we left inclusions it must go to work because i'm a terrorists and it turned out to work a very good question i'm sure militiaman hope so cause and so with the proviso that we that we should don't rule out other possibilities the most likely explanation is obviously that norway's political involvement in. lone an attack on a layover is perhaps there's a strategy to it on the behalf of an islamic group they might say no way as are so what can. you think about places like london paris. recall that's

a terrorist attacks over the years even a quite dramatic attack on the prime minister so has this attack on. members of his group who called whom you call him were necessarily who had such an effect in london or paris as perhaps not i'm sure norway which is in very peaceful very quiet for a long time where if you like and he no involvement in the regions in bahrain has always been thousands of miles away from their own countries. that's on the news for now but i'll be back with a recap of our headlines in just a few moments or stay with us here not to.
