in the movie the joint me the killings on the villains begin with the grand imperial family george went to school until you can to let you know those with the job don't need to go. read this in the county was that you know as a retreat. norway's nightmare at least ninety two are confirmed dead after the country's worst shooting spree in modern history hits a youth camp and a huge blast shatters supper of all slow. police arrest a thirty two year old girl region bound allegedly behind both the tots well he's said to have links to a far right group and a second about believed to be connected to the atrocities has been detained in the last few hours. and the economic troubles just keep on plaguing europe and the u.s. greece's credit rating is under threat again while american moves closer to defaulting on its massive debts.

eight pm here in the russian capital you're watching r.t. thanks for joining us now it's where top story at least eighty five people are now confirmed dead after a shooting spree at in a region youth camp that attack came just a matter of hours after a powerful blast in downtown all slow claimed at least seven lives when extraordinary pictures emerged from friday's horrific events and act of desperation as a man of the water pleads for his life while the gunmen carries on with this brutal executions of thirty two year old a region that is being held in connection with both the bombing and the shooting and there are reports he's linked to a far right movements a second round was seized by special forces in the area where victims' relatives have gathered but it's not clear if he's an accomplice in the double atrocity

a large he's done a bushel is following developments for us. the number of casualties estimated has skyrocketed witticism in intially 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. people were wondering what was happening was it some bellew's exploding or is somebody playing a joke and then everyone started to understand that people actually have been shot because i was dressed as a policeman and he came across like he was trying to help us he said come here he had a rifle he was using to shoot at us it was total chaos i saw people being shot. very shot indiscriminately sheltering i'll kill everyone everyone must die and children

were running jumping into the sea to 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 all slow which blew out windows in the city center. right now i'm thinking about the consummated and of course it's horrible nice things happen and you don't really know what's going on but you can assume there's been a bomb because of this she was affects just the thought of being linked with the same thought to be a right wing extremist with anti muslim views in on the seventeenth of july he still top 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 he says multiculturalism has always failed us in his

blog which has been found because. himself a nationalist who's also registered a gun club and around two years ago opened the 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 warming but then they retracted got of course norway is is participating in the libyan and afghanistan war efforts this part of nato and just last winter there were thousands of islamic militants arista throughout western europe in connection with the planned bombings police told people to stay out of the city center to avoid using mobile phones the exits to the borders of norway were shot to me diddly 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 the worst shooting spree in history but our prime minister said more democracy and openness is the answer to the violence but how about duras from the institute of international affairs believes it's the country's policies of multiculturalism turn the government against his own. behind an increasingly. intense and heated debate about immigration. about both immigration is doing to no beach culture multiculturalism is really not the way to go forward to marginalize the region so feel their voices are not being heard in the political establishment. and the reaching people have never been consulted democratically about whether a bump immigration on the knocks on the political establishment is

a sort of of the elite that lives in areas rich or to put it out they all whites and that is lower cost of each and so who feel that the immigrants are sort of getting into the territories removing them forwarded from the jobs lowering their salaries etc and there are no bail global playing the democratic rules i guess dot so far seems to be the motivation of this person us well. well that's the stuff the story with david curtis the us based independent blogger mr curtis thanks very much for being on a program now a europe has been for years been proud of its tolerance of democracy and we've heard from prime minister open this up but now we're seeing national issues turning ugly as we've seen in norway and we have people linked to both islamists and far right movements carrying out these as atrocities or how did it get this. well i think. one of the things that we're seeing especially since nine eleven here in

america. you're seeing a very concerted movement shorts. i think what we're looking at is. you've got out. there is a very. strong nationalist movement. were you know there is. the so is actually surfacing them to quote commit such acts hasa these this movement towards their ideas here you're mentioning i think so i think so they just carry this decidedly i mean he has come out he's very and i'm also. very right where. he's very nationalist very strong christian party which is the right wing party in norway. so i think what you're seeing not only in you know norway but europe and america hears that ever since nine

eleven and you're seeing you know it everybody is looking to blame. the islamic. movement as far as terrorism goes. you know we're everybody's very suspicious of immigrants around there are groups of . non-christian religions. such as islamic. you know discuss this guy he yes all we see this with you see this sentiment coming out despite a lot of tolerance and democracy i talk of that's a do you agree with the norwegian prime minister when he says in fact the answer to such violence would be more democracy and openness do you think this is what will well happen. i don't know if it will happen the agree you know it from jack i do agree with him i think

stripping our individual liberties our civil rights for the name of security is not the answer i think what their needs to be it's needs to be more an openness more an understanding towards other cultures other religions but. i don't think closing our society as a whole is the answer i think what that does that just creates more suspicion more intolerance more hatred towards people that. we are not like each other. it's it's it's in and human nature it happens in the nature of the animal kingdom as a whole to be trial to have a natural suspicion of you know one group against another. you know i don't think that's he answer as i think what we need to do is is to allow ourselves to have an understanding to put ourselves in the shoes so to speak as

other culture percent and try to. you know in my case you know american occupation. trying to see how other cultures perceive us and try to bridge the gap you know reach out so to speak breed and understand and. you know go beyond mistrust that we each other. with this guy i don't see that this guy is. he's a. well you know it's very similar to me back in ninety five and you know another it's you know all right when you're streamers oh god. has no problem with chilling. film called little i'll say that's the time we have right now thank you so much for your insight david curtis independent blogger there talking to us from the u.s. well in light of the attacks norway has reimposed the border controls denmark did

the same over two weeks ago and this is a move strongly criticized by other you members while excited some viral from the moscow state humanitarian university says there are signs a united europe is falling apart. your people is collapsing slowly collapsing you know there are lots of license coming in. from the north africa and some countries have to do it again to raise fold is they have to pull. back their research and has control that you know enjoy them that's the. only tells is that the european folded the way he you know kind of vitality the there were right agenda and it should be shared by the people living the people how it should be ready to actually be. people who they have to say no to this coming through the country. the governments of all these countries how to put it to the referendum actually talk to the people rather than just saying we're going to bend this

a bone graft every stakeholder has to have a say in it not just the citizens of the country not just the migrants because you see there's a contradiction brave you could spring this for us and he's a lamb is cold as supposedly to the information chased by do we know wait and at the same time there is an islamized again is a ship that. they say the responsibility is on the whole of a blast in a way that it's all you see it isn't for edition opposing views and his line is it calls and at the same time islamist organization fighters possibility neither varies something deeply wrong with the communication. the in our region attacks have sent shock waves around the world and spark a passionate debate on what's behind it all on our website r.t. dot com are asking what's the cornerstone of the norwegian tragedy well so far the majority of you think share fanaticism is to blame and fewer people thirty five percent say that's hanchen stem from multiculturalism twenty percent say the reason

is global terrorism which penetrates everywhere and the minority says it's down to the failure of security forces a what's your view on that you can log on to r.t. dot com and have your say. well a norway security forces may be a train to thwart terror attacks but they completely fail to predict or prevent this massacre that's the view of danish m.p. morten messerschmidt who says nobody is safe if that individual maniac decides to go on his shooting spree many scandinavians were of the belief that we our police our intelligence service really have to assume it's using the measures in order to prevent this from happening we have in numerous cases we have prevented attacks from terrorist groups islamist groups around of course it's much more difficult to prohibit individual lunatics from doing it with all these recent deeds and yes we

have seen that 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're living in of today well it's again a reminder of our top story for you the latest we have is that at least eighty five people are now confirmed dead after a shocking shooting spree of a region youth camp and that attack came shortly after a powerful blast in downtown also which claimed at least seven lives now a thirty two year old a region that is being held in connection with both events and it is reported that he belongs to a far right movement now a second that was detained by special forces around an area where the victims' relatives had gathered but it's still not clear if he is a suspected second got that. well our own correspondent daniel bushell is there at the heart of blaster can also bring us the very latest as it happens and his first experience is also on our twitter feed well in one of our his

latest tweets he says he witnessed demonstrations of extraordinary bravery wounded victims of the also blast returned to ground zero to look for people still trapped inside despite the risk of another bomb and of course we'll be keeping you up to speed with the latest developments in norway throughout the day and night and we'll have more expert comment and analysis of the situation right here on r.t. so do stay with us. now moving on to european leaders breathe a sigh sigh of relief as greece is provided with a bailout of one hundred ninety billion euros that's despite the threat of athens credit rating plunging into the dreaded default category and critics say this 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 special support from the europeans and other

countries won't receive that but of course gates do we believe so i'm not sure that we do because it's inconceivable that the europeans wouldn't step in very 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 aims if it was a sort of battle between the bond markets and the italian government so. without fully to paint nightmare scenarios i don't think we're out of the woods yet. and another debt crisis brews across the atlantic as washington struggles decide how to avoid defaulting on its debts when a few minutes starting is very own new york resident rory harshness asks people in the big apple whether they're ready to pay more tax super economy. a little bit how

much is a little bit. few percentage points more and that that that's about it i believe everybody even if it's a dollar fifty everybody should be in the shared sacrifice if you there's too much that says you have a governor elect in the states have a better government to spend all the money and praise your wars in iraq and. so i would say first up of the wars and there you don't need a tax increase. recovery efforts are continuing on russia's volga river following the country's worst disaster in a pleasure cruiser that will carry a total shallow water and that's before the dry rot water has to be pumped out of the sunken help. to make the wreckage wide enough to lift all experts are eager to examine the ship it to determine exactly why the bulgaria sank two weeks ago one hundred fourteen people are confirmed dead after the tragedy with aids are still

listed as missing the boat owner is under investigation and two people have already been charged with violating safety regulations. well cautious optimism has welcomed the first meeting of three years of the foreign ministers from north and south korea they had official meeting at a place on the sidelines of a regional forum in indonesia the two sides agreed it's a renewed stalled six party talks over nuclear program however the us secretary of state said of washington that rolled back the negotiations unless north korea first starts dismantling its atomic sowerby's professor the better offer of a sydney university believes the multiparty talks are not the right way to reach any agreement. on the nuclear issue have been resolved march fast and more efficiently as a result by learned from your post well between north korea and the united states and washington also have to demonstrate a willingness to participate in the six party talks unconditionally not solve

korean negotiations would have been helpful but bringing together six different parties we provisionally belong. security blocs for different security agendas and competing trade interests is not very promising. remains and. the united states public demands anything more. from salzburg with north korea must examine your locality and plug in your own believes it's not here so does beijing so that's why i believe i strongly believe the only we are is all the tensions and stage a number of bilateral negotiations. in the biliteral form of the news going to be solved much faster without much trouble. and now a brief look at some other international headlines this hour a train has derailed and caught fire and something the syria the driver has been

killed and several passengers injured state television blamed governments of a ters for the it's happening but fail to suggest any real evidence against those they say are behind the assault the area in central syria has been at the heart of the uprising that started in march the protesters demanding the ousting of president bashar al assad. reigning in a media is reporting one of the country's nuclear scientists has been shot dead in the capital tehran thirty five year old are you sure he was targeted outside his home by a gunmen on a motorbike it's not the first murder of a nuclear physicist in iran last year another was killed by a remotely detonated bomb in the capital region of bodies ease rail secret service masada for killing. a nato was carried out fresh air strikes on the libyan capital hits including gadhafi headquarters on friday a crowd rallied in tripoli in support of the colonel whose whereabouts remain libya

has been ravaged by civil war since february with the nato led coalition that launching air strikes in march parties military contributors says there's a growing credibility gap within the alliance over the intervention. there is been a lot of charcoal. the u.s. policy or the lack of faith regarding pakistan and afghanistan no less has been said about the nato operation or actually aerial intervention and bombing in libya take a closer look how the nato aerial bombing in leave it is related to american provides in afghanistan and pakistan on a 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 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 the timing of nato operation against libya demonstrated not only of the lack of trust between the united states and pakistan and afghan leadership it is also indicative of a huge credibility gap we should be in genuine and united states of america and its european nato partners. well you can always follow your getting through shelves a video blog and of course many others on our web site r t dot com and among the stories you'll find there today georgian photographers convicted of spying for russia are released their colleagues convinced their confessions were couper's we'll find out why the local opposition believes that the case had nothing to do with justice from the start. and as a foreign skeptic said it was ridiculous but

a russian military innovation has bounced back and might just become a significant asset well experts sing the praises of benefits of the so-called robber army on our t.v. dot com. 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 borrowing on top of its existing limits of fourteen point three trillion dollars but the opposing parties can't agree on how to achieve that the democrats propose higher taxes on the wealthy while republicans want spending cuts with a decision is made by august the second the u.s.

will be unable to pay its bills and have to default and the effects are already being felt as the u.s. federal aviation authority which oversees several flights of the country begins a partial shutdown archy's new york resident lori harford has to to the streets of the big apple to gauge public opinion and more taxation. would you be willing to pay more in taxes just paid your government from bankruptcy this week let's talk about you definitely wouldn't pay much if any of that was spending. billions rather spending on defense. 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 bit. a few percentage points more and that 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 put your life if you know if i'm working hard and i make you my good my kids you know why do i want to get taken away from me when people you know don't . you know you just spend a lot more money in taxes. so that more people have my service then should you have to pay for people who aren't working as hard as you go. to get a way that well yeah i think everybody should have it ok so i think it's ok to go to pay too much taxes you know you to get energy from people who want to work so if you there's too much texas you have a better government like in the states have a better government to spend all the money and praise your wars in iraq and

a guy missed them so i would go first the bush the war and there you don't need it that's increased 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. oh we'll have a full news bulletin at the top of the hour but i'll be back with a recap of our main stories in just a couple of minutes to stay with us. please
