two were 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 those low which blew out windows in the city center where right now i'm thinking about the cuts from my head and of course it's horrible nice 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 is that it's being linked with the same man who thought to be a right wing extremist with anti muslim views in 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 he's now been charged with both the bombing in the city center here in oslo and the youth come just outside he was a fundamentalist he's a fundamentalist christian and he says multiculturalism has always failed us in his blog which has been found calls himself a nationalist he's also registered

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 warmings like this one so it seems that it's an idea that he's been planning for a long time initially a group including helpers of the global jihad came out and said that they took responsibility for the forming but then they retracted that of course norway is is participating in the libyan and afghanistan war efforts as part of nato and they're just last winter there were dozens of islamic militants arrested throughout western europe in connection with with planned bombings police have told people to stay out of the city center to avoid using mobile phones the exits to the borders of norway which shots 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. don't you bush reporting right there for us well you know we can prime minister meantime has said that more democracy and openness is the answer to the violence but hello lure us from the norwegian institute of international affairs believes it's the country's policies of multiculturalism that turned the gun man against his own people behind an increasingly. intense and heated debate about immigration. immigration is doing to no beach culture no to culturalism is really not the way to go forward marginalized 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 devoted all white and that it's lower class to reach and so who feel that the immigrants are sort of getting into the territories removing them forwarded from the drugs lowering their salaries etc and there are no overall playing the democratic rules i guess. so far seems to be the motivation of this person as well. now in the light of the attacks norway has reimposed at the border controls denmark did the same over two weeks ago a move strongly criticized by other e.u. members alexander sullivan of from the moscow state humanitarian university says there are signs that a united europe is falling apart. the european project is collapsing slowly collapsing you know their loss of life i mean from asia from the north africa and some countries have a cancer rates folded so they have to support that their research and that has

control that integration troll and that's. only tells us that the european project like see you know kind of vitality the there right agenda and it should be shared by the people living in the e people house would be ready to actually while those people they have to say no to this coming from a country. the governments all those countries how to put it to the referendum actually talk to the people rather than just saying we are going to band this band that every stakeholder has to have a site units not just the citizens of the country not just the migrants because you see there is a contradiction break this famous fall he's and he's a lamb his calls as supposedly to the information shared by the media no wait and at the same time there is an islamized again ization that. they say the responsibility is in the fall of the blast in the way that it's all you see there is a contradiction if they miss where you sense he is alive as calls and at the same time

islamist organisation taking responsibility meet their varies something deeply wrong with the communication. now the norwegian attacks have sent shock waves around the world and sparked passionate debate about what and who's behind it on our website r.t. dot com we're asking you what's the cornerstone of the norwegian tragedy let's look at the stats right now so far the majority of you think the tensions stem from multiculturalism fewer people thought he five percent say sheer fanaticism is to blame nine percent say the reason is global terrorism which penetrates everywhere and the minority think it's down to the failure of security forces what is your view on this tragedy just log on to r.t. dot com and make sure you have your say well the noise security forces may be trying to thwart terror attacks but they completely fail to predict or prevent this massacre that's the view of danish m.e.p. morton messerschmitt who says nobody is safe if an individual maniac decides to go

on a shooting spree many scandinavians were of the belief that we are 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 much more difficult to prohibit individual lunatics from doing. it if we are 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 today. for the reminder of our top story for you here are the latest we have at least eighty five people are now confirmed dead after a shocking shooting spree at a norwegian youth camp that attack came shortly after a powerful blast in downtown oslo which claimed at least seven lives

a thirty two year old norwegian man is currently being held in connection with both events rather as reported he belongs to a far right movement a second man was detained by special forces around an area where the victims' relatives had gathered but it's not clear if he is a suspected second to. well our own correspondent daniel bushell he's right there in the heart of a blast stricken also are bringing us the very latest as it happens is a first hand experience also available for you on our twitter feed let's have a look at is our twitter page right now one of his latest tweets he says he witnessed demonstrations of extraordinary bravery wounded victims of the oslo blast returning to ground zero to look for people still trapped inside despite the risk of another bomb. well that will be keeping you up to speed with the latest developments in norway throughout the day and night we'll have more expert comment and analysis of the situation right here on r.t. so do stay with us. european leaders breathe

a sigh of relief as greece is provided with a bailout of one hundred nine billion euros that's despite the threat of athens credit rating plunging into the dreaded default category and 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. 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 if it was a sort of battle between the bond markets and the italian government so without

wanting to paint nightmare scenarios i don't think you know we're out of the woods yet. and another debt crisis brews across the atlantic as washington struggles to decide on how to avoid defaulting on its debt in just a few minutes here on r.t. new york resident laurie huff asks people in the big apple whether they are ready to pay more tax to save their economy. how much is a little but. few percentage points more and that's about it that's about it i believe everybody even if it's a dollar fifty everybody should be in this shared sacrifice if you. like in the states government to spend all the money increase your wars in iraq you know. so i would first stop wars and there you don't need a tax increase. with

a lot of talk about. the u.s. policy or the lack of faith or 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 a nato operation great timing nato operation against libya demonstrated

for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into cars a report on our. it's a good to have you with us on this saturday you're watching live from moscow now the u.s. has moved a step closer to defaulting on its debts the latest round of talks to raise the country's debt ceiling collapsed when a republican opposition leader stormed out of negotiations with president obama the government has to allow more boring on top of his existing limit of fourteen point three trillion dollars but the opposing parties can't agree on how to achieve that democrats propose higher taxes on the wealthy while republicans want spending cuts if a decision is not reached by the second the us will be unable to pay its bills and have to default and the effects already being felt as the u.s. federal aviation authority which oversees civil flights in the country begins a partial shutdown at new york resident laurie huff and took to the streets to

gauge public opinion one more time. would you be willing to pay more in taxes to save your government from bankruptcy this week let's talk about that. definitely would. have any spending. spending. so do you trust your government to spend it correctly i don't trust any of the 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 you know the parents or how much work you're actually if you know if i'm working hard and i make you my.

share you know why do i 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 my 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 if you're too much texas you have a better government like in the states that have better government they spend all their money on crazy wars in iraq you have got i mean. so i would say first up 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.

this is on its he now russians have started panic buying painkiller is the reason for coming government ban on certain pills containing being sold over the counter the moves aimed at keeping drug addicts from using them to make dangerous narcotics but some experts fear is the people in real pain that will end up suffering you may find some of the images and you go to. the stopping. they call it a crocodile because its users can turn scaly before it falls off virtually alone ten years ago it's a mixture of petrol solvents phosphorous and most importantly cheap medicines containing the painkiller codeine it's now become rich a second most popular drug after heroin which the cheaper and more easily available alternative of injecting this lethal cocktail will rot in users flesh in months most die within three years i haven't been using it for two months. never

a story to. the government to come up with a simple solution. for now i can still buy code being containing drugs off the shelf but on words i'll need a prescription to do that statistics show that nearly half of russians use these drugs on a regular basis the vast majority of them for completely legitimate reasons so in their fight against drugs is the government going too far as and throwing the baby out with the bathwater. coding is sold over the counter in most western countries but its sales have doubled in russia in five years and many say this is not a coincidence i think it was a mistake to start selling coding without a prescription first place by making it the most easily available opiate it's born was a problem yet expert opinion has been divided some believe that this doesn't do enough to tackle the social cause of addiction and punishes innocent consumers this is d m

there is no efficient system in my country for issuing prescription existence are the people who will suffer for the ordinary pensioners and housewives who need those medicines again but where he's doing it the drugs then and the moscow suburbs we came here to ask what the users themselves think about the new law. i don't believe it would change anything that those who want to take drugs will take drugs we will buy them from the right pharmacies and if we don't get them to use something else we will always have something to inject. either of their of nerve see and. all right i will bring you more on the norwegian norwegian tragedy about our top story this hour here on r.t. a reminder of our headlines in just a couple of minutes away see you in just a moment.
