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 short indiscriminately sheltering all 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 slope which blew out windows in the city center. 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 you can assume there's been a bomb because of the serious effect. it's being linked with the same man who's 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 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 was shot to me to lead off to the roads leading into and trains leading into the capital rules so hold to it 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 that our region prime minister said more democracy and openness is the answer to the violence but hello lure us from the region institute of international affairs believes it's the country's policies of multiculturalism that turned the gun against his own behind an increasingly. intense and heated debate about immigration. about what immigration is doing to norwegian culture multiculturalism is really not debate to go forward to marginalize the region or 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 our not and not the political establishment is a sort of of the elite that lives in areas which are depicted or white and that it's lower class to reach and so who feel that immigrants are sort of getting into the territories removing them for the from the drugs lowering their salaries etc and they have no avail playing the democratic groups i guess down so far seems to be the motivation of this person as well. well in light of the attacks norway has reimposed the a shank that border controls well denmark did the same over two weeks ago a move strongly criticized by other e.u. members alexandre something from the moscow state humanitarian adversity says there are signs that a united europe is falling apart. the european project is collapsing is slowly

collapsing you know there are lots of live rounds coming from asia from the north africa and some countries have a cancer rates fold it so they have to supply that research and that has control the immigration control and that's. only tells us that the european political exley you know kind of vitality the their right agenda and it should be shared by the people living in the e people house would be ready to actually while those people who they have to say no to this coming to their country. the governments 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 over and that every stakeholder has status 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 have taken responsibility it's in the fall of the blast in a way that it's all you see that is untraditional thing this was anti islam is calls and at the same five islamist organizations take responsibility for anything varies something deeply wrong with the communication. well the norwegian tax have sent shock waves around the world and sparked passionate debate on what's behind it along our website or to dot com we're asking what's the cornerstone of the intervention tragedy and so far the majority of you think a share fanaticism is to blame and fewer people thirty five percent say the tension stemmed 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. you know norway security forces may be trained to thwart

terror attacks but they completely fail to predict or prevent this massacre that's the view of danish m.e.p. aborted 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 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 much more difficult to prohibit individual lunatics from doing. it if we have 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're living in today. well 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 at a norwegian a youth camp and that attacking shortly after a powerful blast in downtown also low which claimed at least seven lives a thirty two year old movie aged man is being held in connection with both events and it's reported that he belongs to a far right movement a second matt 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 gunman. well our own correspondent daniel bushell is there at the heart of blast rick and all slow bringing us the very latest as it happens and his firsthand experience is also on our twitter feed if you check out twitter and one of 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 all 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. and we'll being on a european leaders breathe a sigh of relief as greece is provided with a bailout of one hundred ninety billion euros and 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 this special support from the europeans and other countries won't receive that but of course. i mean 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's also i think inconceivable that even the resources now available to the

financial stability fund the sort of nascent european monetary fund there 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 those sort of without wanting to paint nightmare scenarios i don't think you know we're out of the woods yet. well another debt crisis brews across the atlantic as washington struggles to decide on how to avoid defaulting on its debt in a few minutes artie's very own a new york resident laurie harshness asks people in the big apple whether they're ready to pay more tax to save their economy. a little bit how much is a little but. few percentage points more and that's about it and that's about it i believe everybody even if it's a dollar fifty everybody should be in a shared sacrifice if you have too much fixes. like in the states it is

better government to spend all the money increase your wars in iraq. so i would be stupid wars and there you don't need a. recovery efforts are continuing on russia's volga river following the country's worst ever boating disaster the sunken a pleasure cruiser the bulgaria is being a total shallow waters and that's before being lifted on to dry land the water has to be pumped out of the socket hull to make the black light enough to lift experts are eager to examine the ship to determine exactly why the bulgaria sank two weeks ago one hundred fourteen people are confirmed dead after the tragedy with eight still listed as missing the boat's owner is under investigation and two people have already been charged with violating safety regulations. a cautious optimism has welcomed the first meeting in three years of the foreign ministers

from north and south korea had official meeting took place on the sidelines of a regional forum in indonesia the two sides agreed to renew stalled six party talks over a purely on nuclear program however the us secretary of state said a washington won't back the negotiations unless north korea first starts dismantling its atomic the cillit he's. professor from a sydney university believes the multiparty talks are not the right way to reach any agreement. the nuclear issue could have been resolved much faster and more efficiently as a result of bilateral negotiations first of all between north korea and the united states and washington also have to demonstrate willingness to participate in the six party talks unconditionally not solve korean bilateral negotiations would have been helpful too but bringing together six different parties which traditionally belong to course security blocs we've different security genders and competing

trade interests is not very promising while solve career remains as curity ally of the united states not demands to be anything like designing from solve for real but north korea must disarm unilaterally and pyongyang believes it's not so does moscow and beijing so that's why i believe i strongly believe that the only way to resolve the tensions ease to stage a number of bilateral negotiations. in the volatile form of the is going to be solved much faster without much trouble. now a brief look at some other international headlines for you at least eleven people have been killed and dozens injured as a chinese bullet train lost power after being struck by lightning it was then hit from behind by another train knocking two of its carriages off the bridge rescue workers are now continuing in cleaning the debris and looking for the injured.

nato has carried out fresh air strikes on the libyan capital hitting colonel gadhafi headquarters on friday a crowd rallied in tripoli and support of the colonel who's very remained on libya has been ravaged by civil war since february with a nato led coalition launching airstrikes in march parties military contributor says there's a growing credibility gap within the alliance over the intervention. there is being 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 travel is in afghanistan and pakistan on

a technical basis yes they and nato intervention and indiscriminate bombing and 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 the timing of 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 genuine united states of america and its european nato partners. well you can always follow you get a clue shoves video blog and of course many others all on our website r t dot com and among the stories you'll find there today george and the photographers

a nuclear physicist to be killed in iran in the last two years let's discuss this with kiana mokhtari a political commentator live in terror on for us mr mccarthy thanks very much for being on the program and how involved was this scientists in iran's nuclear program he was involved that's an educational level in iran's nuclear program. but again the iranian universe these pooled their resources it's one big program so the depth of his involvement is educational level at iran now is a blaming israel's mossad for last year's killing will they say the same now given the involvement you say is just academic so will they say the same and do you agree . well. you know iran has just carried out an operation against the zionist backed. militia group in kurdistan pay jack which is really really

very badly and iran has just taken over three of their bases so it was to be expected. but whether it's going to in any way impede the running nuclear program i don't believe that that is the case because knowledge is something you can't kill and bin this is something that the enemies of iran will have to buy a trial. you know we have a massive pool of very talented scientists who will be able to carry on in all fields aerospace and their nuclear scientists agriculture. anything you name it ok well an intelligence report claimed this week that president mahmoud ahmadinejad wants to forge ahead openly with developing nuclear weapons what's your view on that. idea at the last bit of that question right there report that the president met with i didn't that he wants to continue go ahead

openly with developing nuclear weapons what do you think. well you know the the b i a has not come up with a single speck of evidence that iran has deviated from its its peaceful nuclear activities it is a nuclear energy program given the shia appetite of the east and the west for energy resources of iran wants iran's energy resources have finished we have to look to the future are we going to be dependent for our fuel rods on the west will be east of the going to chance it or not and we've decided not to do so. but. there is a point i would like to raise and that is the fact that. mr president mahmoud ahmadinejad did warn that the iranian intelligence minister was not perhaps. the right man for the job. a few months ago but his decision was overturned

by the leader and i think that perhaps the attack today goes some way in proving. a point about mr morse like he took i would just suggest going back to the latest a killing of a scientist now whoever is behind the murder surely they can't hope to stop iran's entire nuclear program just by killing scientists one by one. well you know as i said iran has managed since the victory of these law makers evolution to create a huge pool of scientists in all fields agriculture. you know in terms of mechanics in terms of. science space science aerospace and nuclear technology and this was perhaps just another shot across the bow for

you ron to watch its that. and to refrain from whatever it is that everybody else in the west happens to think that iran is up to but i repeat this i would as a. journalist who is deeply opposed to nuclear weapons. if a comes up with one iota of evidence that iran is pursuing a nuclear weapons program i'll be the first in line to condone it to to can then it but i'm afraid i have not come up with this and but we've had from the united states so far has been a lot of quite frankly questionable evidence about iran's nuclear energy program and they're just very briefly how big is the level of public support in iran for a nuclear program. it is very deep. take you back to

iran's oil nationalization program which was back in one nine hundred fifty three iranians do feel that with the shia sale of the resources of the fossil fuel resources of iran we really have a few decades left worth of income but worse than that we only have a short time left to come up with renewable energy alternatives now work is being carried out on all fields. all green energy is in iran and the large amount of our budget has been allocated to this but nuclear energy is part of renewable energies and we have to also put in the work to make sure that in the future we are not depended on the west then all the eastern powers all right thank you very much for your insight there kiana mokhtari political commentator talking to us live from tehran. 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 collapse 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 democrats propose higher taxes on the wealthy while republicans want spending cuts so if a decision is not made by august 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 in the country begins a partial shutdown archies new york resident lori harford missed took to the streets of the big apple to gauge public opinion on more taxation. would you be willing to pay more. in taxes to save your government from bankruptcy

this week let's talk about that. definitely would pay more yeah if any of those spending. billions rather spend it on defense. or education. 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. 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 put your life if you know if i'm working hard and i make you my good my good 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 my summa says she'd 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 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 and afghanistan. so i would say first of 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. i'll be back with the headlines shortly to sing with us here on r.t. .
