5:00 am
joyce be good to. the gateway to the grand imperial truly the taj was the bush coromandel you can tell the socialist sedated to go and. read this and the colonel was her child as a treat. the guy dressed as a policeman came across and said come here the city is going against us i saw people being shot. the worst single shooting spree in modern history at least eighty four people have been killed at the youth camp in norway alone a powerful blast in central oslo which claimed that seven lives. the thirty two year old norwegian man has been arrested and charged with committing both attacks misprision starting right wing political extremists may have been behind the killings. one of the questions that the.
5:01 am
us government is in partial shutdown is causing talks over raising the debt ceiling and in a dramatic walkout just ten days shy of a catastrophic default. broadcasting live from the russian capital this is a norwegian police say at least eighty four people have been killed in a shooting spree at a youth camp when under. its act came shortly after a powerful blast shook the government center in downtown oslo painting at least seven knives a thirty two year old norwegian man has been arrested in norway in connection with the tax law bushell is following developments. but the number of casualties estimated has skyrocketed or witnesses to me initially said it was around ten since
5:02 am
then the numbers have gone up dramatically. and dressed in police uniform apparently and the labor party youth rally and began shooting indiscriminately dozens have been killed and there have been horrific stories of people swimming for their lives hiding in the bushes. people were wondering what was happening wasn't some bellew's exploding or somebody playing a joke and then everyone started to understand that people actually had been shot because i was dressed as a policeman and he came across like he was trying to help us he said come here had a rifle he was using to shoot at us it was total chaos i saw people being shot. just before the attack at the youth rally there was a blast here in the center of oslo which blew out windows in the city center over them and right now i'm thinking about the consul my head and of course it's horrible when these things happen you don't really know what's going on you can
5:03 am
assume there's been a bomb because of the serious effect this is sort of being linked with the same school to be a right wing extremist with anti muslim views on the seventeenth of july he still posted a twitter feed where he said that one person with a belief is equal to the force of a hundred thousand who have only interests so he posted by tickle 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. participating in the libyan and afghanistan war efforts the whole of nato and 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 phone the exits to the borders of norway
5:04 am
were shots immediately after the roads leading into and trains leading into the capital rules so hold it now we've heard that soldiers are on the streets with machine guns police also being called the worst attack since world war two the worst shooting spree in history. and in fact police also discovered in late to disarm explosive devices on the military at least eight people were shot dead on friday for more on the possible motives behind the attacks let's cross now to a danish any remote and measure smith live here in our thank you for joining us now investigators believe the suspected gunman's political b.s. may have pushed him to commit a crime what's your take on that well we we have been getting new information through the night here and the right now the most. reliable. motive is that it's political of course we don't know anything yet because we're
5:05 am
getting new information i mean it's everybody is still in shock here trying to get a grip of what what really happened. some commentators are already suggesting the killings are the result of tensions between nationalism and multiculturalism is there any credence to that at this stage. well it's it's becoming clear that that that might be one of the motives of the the killer here what i think is important to stress and and realize is that this appears to be the act of one lunatic psychopath. a network of terrorists or things like that that we've seen earlier on but of course this threat is to assess its or your distress or the vulnerability you say of our societies and we need to take measures in order to ensure that this will never happen again given what you say about that numb person this is mission initially fell and jihadist
5:06 am
extremist groups want to go. well we have seen many attempts in europe and in the world for many years now since nine eleven on terrorism and there have been driven by jihadists and muslim extremists and regrettably to say that the first thought that comes to mind when we when we're dealing with terror attacks is that it might be linked to jihadist military missions and i don't think we shall be frightened now that this will spread it seems for the most recent. messages from the from the norwegian intelligence service it seems that this is the all for lack of one man that has acted very much on his own and therefore doesn't act on behalf of us have a group or a network that might have more attempts with terrorism in their plans well if i can just pick you up on that and should other european nations be on alert following
5:07 am
the bloodshed in the way or is it more like it's been isolated domestically shane. well we always have to be alert because we are living in a time where terrorism regrettably has become a part of the reality but this incident i think is more similar to the shooting episodes that we've seen in schools and public areas in america and germany and things like that rather than to be terrorists hence we have seen no attacks we've seen from islamist groups so i don't from the present knowledge that we have now i don't think that there is a reason why any other european countries should. increase their awareness for now and i so long as we are what we are getting more and more closer to the truth through the knowledge of course will cut as long as we are pretty much confident that this is a an individual that has committed these awful crimes and not on a network that plans to do more of this kind afterwards i think it would be
5:08 am
unproven and true true to hysteria. all over europe but you know why the sense that i have that how will the attacks affect the secure and safe image of scandinavian countries. well this is something. very shocking very new to everybody. we actually or please i and i think many scandinavians were of the belief that we our police our intelligence service really have to facilities and the measures in order to prevent this from happening we have in numerous cases we have prevented attacks from terrorist groups islamist groups earlier on of course it's a much more difficult to prohibits individual lunatics from doing so folks tracy peterson yes we have seen that yesterday but this of course once again the question is whether the whether the police whether the intelligence service has the
5:09 am
facilities and measures that are adequate to do it for the situation that we're living in them today and indeed you say individual lunatics are in your opinion that is it possible that one individual could organize an act of violence on this scale without support what it seems like that from the intelligence we have received so far it appears that that this psychopath that has actually acted on his own hand and we have seen in germany in america in other places people going crazy with a with a shotgun and killing numerous people sitting there in shopping malls and schools and facilities like that and i think with the limited knowledge that we do have at this point that this act is more parallel to what we have seen in these cases than to the planned and well organized terror attacks with a huge network of al qaeda or taliban or whatever behind it carry
5:10 am
affidavit that are now more to national attention thank you very much indeed for joining us. for more on this cross now to help to lure us in the guys at the department for security and conflict management are the norwegian institute of international affairs thank you for joining us as well how are people in norway reacting to the charge today they feel their country is a safe place to be at the moment. well i mean it depends really paranormally or i guess i mean here in oslo you know the streets are empty people are obviously sitting back home watching television following the news but i don't think we should overstate how much impact it really has more than ever in the beach night i mean of course those immediately affected. you know people families of people actually being killed the scores of people being killed for them this is devastating but the regions overall i think are taking it to relatively calm
5:11 am
although you're a small nation and many people know each other of course this affects us as well now at least ninety one people being killed around or at least one hundred injured now it's early days that keeping the attacks are planned on individual extremist political groups. well will the the information so far is that this might be a lone individual nationalist rights being very conservative anti immigrant. probably had planned this vellum for a long time. i mean it's it's still early days in terms of saying what's behind them the more people very behind but so far i think good there is a relatively huge possibility that he acted alone but of course with extremely extreme determination. can you have a security gets one person's act extreme back and balance the. short answer to that is no i mean a person who hasn't
5:12 am
a voice test intentionally or not in public fora who is not planning on organizing together with the good bit with all the people it's a very difficult a truck in addition to that. the legal sort of measures available to the police and the security services in norway are limited as long as people are not conspiring together with other people or actively. encouraging violence there is really no legal justification to keep them under surveillance and this person this thirty two year old ovation has been voicing radical opinions but no so far being found out he has advocating violent terrorist activities and that means that the police are simply unable to keep track of them. you know why the sense that is there anything in the current norwegian political climate that could be linked to these brutal scenes that the country has witnessed. well it is some in
5:13 am
the heart of an increasingly. intense and heated the bait about immigration. about what immigration is doing to the region culture multiculturalists them is really not of a to go forward marginalized regions feel their voices are not being heard in the political establishment. in the region people have never been consulted democratically about better a bump immigration on the notes and not the political establishment as a sort of elite that lives in areas which are to put it out all right and that is lower class in regions who feel that immigrants are sort of getting into the territories removing them for that from the drugs lowering their salaries etc and there are no bail of all playing the democratic rules i guess that so far seems to be the motivation of this person as well at the same time i mean he i noticed my
5:14 am
take inspiration from the islamic terrorists seeing how a very few number of people do have huge effects in the pickle climate on political decisions taken by the us and policymakers. it seems that when the blast shook the capital that the security forces were really concentrated in a downtown oslo. possibly diverting attention from the deadly shooting spree how do you assess the responses. the country's security agencies. well. they are they had drills under prepared for this a bomb bomb blast but i mean this this coordinated sort of fly and sequence of events by this person it's a kind of sort of freak planned accident or happening that it's difficult to to. really prepare you for yourself for from i mean zero four i mean it's it's the scenario is this difficult to proceed rahmani options of course there are limited
5:15 am
capabilities of the special forces in order and the region police and i too can find the guy i'm not sure if that very the reason why he were able to kill someone yet this small island i mean this is it's an oil and money and lots of young people he got on the island in a police uniform the police got there relatively quickly i mean given the fact that it's a sixty kilometers from oslo but you know it's a very special very well planned very determined on that it's very difficult to guard against this do you think then that given this that the norwegian government's approach towards national security is nothing to change in the future . i'm not sure if it will change i mean the fact that this was an ethnic no reachin means i think that the reactions on the consequences for the region society is less and will be less than if this had been an immigrant that is
5:16 am
and been on the slim extremist being doing it then the voices start with braced or sort of their ridden on support stricter laws more money for the security services etc would not gain the upper hand but just as it is now i think we will have a more nuanced debate some more money some more funds prop some changes to the law but i don't think there is. we'll have a major effect. ok. the department for security and conflict management in the region is using international thank you for joining us today. the latest u.s. government's efforts to raise the country's fourteen point three trillion dollars debt ceiling have collapsed after a republican opposition leader walked out of negotiations with president obama unless the government can agree to raise the debt by the second the country will be
5:17 am
unable to pay its bills and will have to declare default on the effects are being felt already the u.s. federal aviation authority which oversees all civil flights begins to shutdown critics say that it's unlikely the size of the solution texans spending cuts. new york restaurants where it oftenest into the streets of the big apple to gauge public opinion on the taxation. would you be willing to pay more in taxes just paid your government from bankruptcy this week let's talk about. that lately with. so do you trust your government to spend it correctly i don't trust any of the parties in our country a little bit i'm just a little bit. few percentage points more and that that
5:18 am
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 the shared sacrifice all the fans of how much work you know if i'm working hard and i make you my good my kids share you know why they want to get taken away from me when people you know. you know you just spend a lot more money in taxes so that more people have my service that should you have to pay for people who aren't working as hard as you yeah yeah. yeah ok with that well yeah i think everybody should have it ok so i think it's ok because pay too much taxes you know you take energy from people who want to work so. you have a backup. like in the states government to spend all the money and place your wars
5:19 am
in iraq. so i would first stop the stupid wars and there you don't need a tax increase remember 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. he has announced a new one hundred sixty billion euro bailout for greece you know credit rating drops into the dreaded default consummate leaders however. pulling out of its debt at any cost critics want to bring a cash injection is necessary for now. to get back on its feet. president sarkozy has been saying in brussels you know greece is a special case it's received special support from the europeans and other
5:20 am
countries won't receive that but of course. you do we believe that i'm not sure that we do because it's inconceivable that the europeans wouldn't step in very and it is 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 aims it was a sort of battle between the bond markets and the italian government so i wanted to paint nightmare scenario is i don't think we're out of the woods yet. and we're going on the rushes of older river tragedy recovery operations taken a new turn a sunken a pleasure cruise a. shallow waters prepared for transportation to show where the vessel is filled with water and from tower records not enough to lift experts either to examine the
5:21 am
ship i mean right sacraments. hundred thousand. dead in the trash eight to say the owner of the cruiser is under investigation or two people have already been charged violating safety regulations. now media experts in the usa the mainstream outlets are sacrificing choice and content. to shine with various sensationalism rather than. learn this to reports u.s. business and politicians could be the ones directing fifth in style. now to talk about some of today's biggest political story it's the story behind the story i was like whoa 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 speech played by the rules instructions coming straight from the top he said i was just in washington and
5:22 am
people in washington tell me that they're concerned about your tone recently departed and this n.b.c. anchor jane 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 announced outsiders are cool but we're not we're insiders. we are the former insiders and analysts we interviewed say it's this way of thinking and the mainstream t.v. lead that leads to a twenty four hour news cycle filled largely with a c. and to me the woman accused of killing her two year old little girl you would know if the this is your underpants we now learn real to move our valley. coverage that an m.s.m. defector says it's cost stations their literate audience and credibility in mainstream television news in particular is are no good or are just wasting your time with the new story with anthony weiner's wiener we've become a national joke
5:23 am
a national joke a pretext ad revenue and political currency unlike the core hard hitting story it's they would be stories that have big corporations and big political power and that's why they're not covered it could explain why more reporters having covered for example a secret prison in somalia run by the cia journalist jeremy scahill exposed secrets and says several other american borders 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.d.c. hiring former kidnapping victim elizabeth smart to cover missing children stories i mean it is likely come out and said we need to do more innocent children or
5:24 am
innocent girl 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 tabloids which are free for murdoch's news corp scandal is any indication could backfire alternately rats are going to lose a great and you're going to lose viewers and ultimately you may be you may find yourself under investigation networks that pledge to lean forward or claim to be fair and balanced or they call themselves the most trusted name in news the defectors leaving to find an independent outlet if they want to try to live up to that was not it was laura mr t. washington d.c. . well the motivation behind sensation the stronger race journalism seems for higher profits that's according to our in a member of the young turks the rumor of print the overall goal for the media right
5:25 am
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 they want the sensational isn't 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 best 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's discouraging and i think they're wrong i think they're wrong on that point. well some other international stories in brief for you now islamist militants in somalia say this still running most for a ticket since from bourke in the province truck country militants denying u.n.
