massive debt. worldwide news live from moscow this is artsy welcome to the program a day after so much blood was spilled in norway a second man has now been arrested in connection with the double attack he was detained by special forces and was said to be carrying a knife and hanging around an area where the victims were relatives are gathered it's not clear if he's linked to the man who throw territory an island camp where he gunned down eighty five people in cold blood that attack came just a matter of hours after a powerful blast in downtown oslo which claimed at least seven lives a thirty two year old norwegian mountain is being held in connection with both and it's reported that he belongs to a far right movement also an extraordinary picture has emerged from friday's horrific events an act of desperation here as a man in the water pleads for his life but the government carries on with his

brutal execution he's done a bushel is following developments. the number of casualties estimated has skyrocketed in witnesses i mean initially said it was around ten since 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 bush is more people were wondering what was happening was it some bellew's exploding or was somebody pointed to and then everyone started to understand that people actually had a shot again was dressed as a policeman and he came across like he was trying to help us he said come here he had a rifle and was using to shoot at us it was total chaos i saw people being shot.

down he shot indiscriminately shouting i'll kill everyone everyone must die and children were running jumping into the sea to or to escape hiding behind rocks hiding behind trees explosives have been found on the island 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 for instance right now i'm thinking about a cut so my kids and of course it's horrible when these things happen you don't really know what's going on but you can assume there's been a bomb because of the serious effect just the thought of being linked with the same man who thought to be a right wing extremist with anti muslim views on the seventeenth of july 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 thought of posted radical tweets leading up to this attack he's now been charged with the bombing in the city center here in oslo and the youth contest outside it was a fundamentalist is

a fundamentalist christian he says multiculturalism is always fail in his blog which has been found cause. himself a nationalist who's also registered at a gun club and around two years ago opened a farm called geo farm which gave him access to industrial fertilizer which is often used by terrorists for war means like this one so it seems that it's an idea that he's been planning for a long time initially a grouping called helpers of the global jihad came out and says that they took responsibility for the bombing but then they retracted that of course norway is. participating in the libyan and afghanistan war if it's just part of nato and they just last winter there were dozens of islamic militants arista throughout western europe in connection with the planned bombings police has told people to stay out of the city center to avoid using mobile phones the exits to the borders of norway

was shot immediately after the blast and roads leading into and trains leading into the capital rules so halted 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 what he's done a bushel reporting that only time but norwegian prime minister has said that more democracy and openness is the answer to the violence but hello us from the norwegian institute of international affairs believes it's the country's policies of multiculturalism that turn the gunman against his own people. behind an increasingly. intense and heated debate about immigration. both immigration is doing to the region culture no to culturalism is really not the way to go forward marginalize the regions feel their voices are not being heard in the political establishment. in the region people have never been consulted

democratically about whether a bump immigration on or not and that their political establishment is a sort of of the elite that lives in areas which are depicted out by all whites and that it's lower class of each and so who feel that the immigrants are sort of getting into the territories removing them folded from the drugs lowering their salaries etc and there are no veiled playing the democratic rules i guess that so far seems to be the motivation of this person as well. and in light of the attacks norway has reimposed the shang border controls then market the same over two weeks ago a move strongly criticized by other members. from the moscow state humanitarian and a person who says there are signs that a united europe as falling apart. the european project is collapsing slowly collapsing you know there are loss of life or it's coming. from the north africa

and some countries have to answer where his fault is they have to pull. back the research of the past and troll the immigration trail that's. only tells us that the european project lacks the you know kind of fights how we see it without agenda and it should be shared by the people living we people how to do you ready to actually while those people are all they have to say no to this humphrey country. you go to all those countries how to put it to the referendum actually talk to the people rather than just saying we have always had a bone graft every stakeholder has status say and it's not just the citizens of the country not just the migrants because you see there is a contradiction. all these entities alarmists calls supposedly to the information shape body we know weight and at the same time there is an islamized again is

a ship that. they say the responsibility for all the blast in norway so you see this contradiction of famous for example i miss calls and at the same time the slightest bit is they should take responsibility neither buries something deeply wrong with the communication. or time of year to get involved now on a website r.t. dot com we're asking you who's to blame for the norwegian nightmare but here are some of your opinions we have so far haven't yet screen right now one user points the finger at the security agencies for being blind and naive they say the fact the worst violence since world war two was committed by a single man it means that no one's protected at all but another feels there's no difference between christian and islamic extremism both a terrible and the world would be a safer place without religion and no one more opinion here but one of the most peaceful places in europe was attacked from within it means peace is just a mosque there is a war within society make sure you have your say logon and join the discussion our

team dot com. now i know why security forces may be trained to thwart terror attacks but they completely failed to predict or prevent this massacre but that's the view of danish i mean more to it messerschmitt who says that nobody is safe if an individual maniac decides to go want to shooting spree many scandinavians were of the belief that we our police our intelligence service really had the 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 prohibit individual lunatics from doing. this race as we have seen yesterday but there's of course once again the question is whether the police whether the intelligence service has the facilities and measures that are adequate to the situation that we are living in live today with r.t.

and a reminder now of our top story for you the latest we have is that police have arrested a second man in connection with the double a type in norway he was captured by expression forces in an area where relatives of victims have gathered it's been confirmed he was carrying a knife but it's not clear if he was an accomplice of the gunman who killed at least eighty five of the norwegian youth camp that attack came shortly after a powerful blast in downtown oslo claimed at least seven lives. well our very own correspondent daniel bushell is there in the heart of blast stricken oslo is bringing us the very latest as it happens is a first hand experience is also on our twitter feed let's look at the screen right now and see if that is the latest tweet he says he witnessed demonstrations of extraordinary bravery going to victims of the oslo blast returning to ground zero to look for people still trapped inside that so despite the risk of another bomb that's about our top story this hour but of course are much more there besides.

european leaders breathe a sigh of relief as greece has provided with a bailout of one hundred nine billion euros that's why the threat of athens credit rating plunging into the dreaded category that critics say the second cash handout isn't nearly enough to get the euro 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 it's do we believe that i'm not sure that we do people cause eighteen conceivable that the europeans wouldn't step in they 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 those sort of without fully to paint nightmare scenarios i don't think you know we're out of the woods yet. another that crisis broods across the atlantic as washington struggles to decide how to avoid defaulting on its debt in just a few minutes here on r.t. our very own new york resident laurie harkness asks people in the big apple whether they are ready to pay more tax to save their economy. a little bit i know just a little but. few percentage points more and that's about it i believe everybody even if it's a dollar fifty everybody should be in the shared sacrifice if you. like in the states government is good all the money increase your wars in iraq you know. so i would first wars and there you don't need to use.
