government's open door policy on immigration in numerous blogs and twitter feeds this at the shootings may reflect a growing national look position to fully immigration policies the political establishment the more they are relative the people that they have been areas where there are simply no immigrants the poor people in northern being pushed out of places they used to live live in and that's also their drug stocks are in jeopardy muslims claim there's disappointment that the killer turned out to be ones they want this guy to be muslim or how muslim you know. it's for them it's a little bit strange because he's not regent so they talk too much about islam and about us. it is not good norwegians are said to be fed up with their brand of what's been dubbed radical liberalism it's the country's multicultural policies to turn the government against his own but in no way. far right sentiment.

wider than norwegians are ready to admit and there's a polite and respectful attitude towards that kind of thing in mainstream media but the reality is that fifty percent of a norwegian zx are against multiculturalism as people here try to pick up the pieces and bring meaning to this twitter already thing it will sell relations between communities some expect the crackdown by police on the e.u. growing far right movement while others fear this will only fuel resentment against europe's muslims victims are beginning to piece spoke together this shuts at lloyd's but the experts warn this might not be the last such attack as outrage at the perceived failure of a multicultural society grows the new bush will see oslo. earlier we spoke with will of anderson a spokesman for the union of russian communities in sweden or someone who knew

anders breivik personally he says the news came as a shock although he believes bridget was surrounded by things that could have influenced his actions. i could not imagine i cannot even imagine that he must have been brainwashed he had an ego and. who knows that in relation to the girls for example the there are other guys working. and that kind of a little bit. but still on. the on the other hand if you lose the sack. very. much you can be compared to but there is any possible to do nomination saying automates are you sure each and them are trying to shoot me and on the other hand there is just

ole. relation. right now that you have so central oslo is basically like just your voice and. the wrong way you want to. just and dard in a research fellow with the divine initiative says recent years have created a perfect environment for far right extremism to florida. while this transnational islamic terrorism has been on the radar for some time the very real threat of the homegrown right wing extremists has been over law and within most western countries we have seen two things happening at the same time we've seen this type of ratcheting up of rhetoric anti immigration rhetoric this is happening to us and also western europe and there's also been this demise we can say multiculturalism so there have been individuals that have more or less become quite quite self

radicalized due to vironment and also due to the idea that there's just been an influx of immigration then compound these factors has also been the global economic crisis so you have the euro zone crisis and you also have how the global economic crisis impacted united states so there has been a general type of environment which has encouraged individuals to take out their frustrations newly arrived immigrants so i think that this is something that is actually very very very very important for western policy makers to look at so i think in the coming years we're going to see more of this right wing extremism. in light of the attacks norway has imposed tighter border controls denmark did the same thing a little more than two weeks ago in a move that was strongly criticized by other e.u. member states alexander sullivan from moscow state humanitarian a versity thinks these are signs that

a united europe may be coming apart. the european project is collapsing slowly collapsing you know there are lots of license coming in from tunisia from the north africa and some countries have a cancer rates fold is they have to support that their research and that has controlled immigration and that's. only tells us that the european project lets the you know kind of vitality the right agenda and it should be shared by the people living in the people house to be ready to actually while those people they have to say no to this coming to the 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 bend this plan that every stakeholder has stepped aside and it's not just the citizens of the country not just the migrants because you see there is

a contradiction brave you could spend this fall he's and he's a lamb it's cold as supposedly to the information shared by the media no wait and at the same time there is an islamized again ization that. they take responsibility it's a whole lot of blast in no way so you see it as a contradiction if they miss where you sense the islam is calls and at the same time islamist organizations take responsibility means that there is something deeply wrong with the communication the norwegian attacks have sent shock waves around the world and sparked passionate debate about what started it all on our website r.t. dot com we're asking what's the point of stone over the norwegian tragedy so far the majority of respondents think it's sheer fanaticism to blame here we're forty percent say tensions stem from multiculturalism ten percent say the reason is global terror that approach penetrates everywhere and the rest say it's down to the failure of security forces what do you think our conduct hamann have your say.

security addle those from manchester u.k. chris yates things that norway was simply unprepared for this type of crisis. what we're talking about here is a possibly a lack of resources is instructive today that the. the the the european organization pulling all the police forces in europe europe all. together . to setting up a group of people so experts to aid police forces across europe people looking inward as opposed to. the question there is why this is no not been done before because there are any number of reports that you can read on the internet and privately if those reports are classified. suggest that they the rise of right wing extremism in europe has been prevalent for

a number of years so the question is why have we don't melt into ourselves could we have been of these things much better probably we could have done. it where do we go from here. recapping our top story for you the latest is that thirty two year old endurance behring breivik has been charged with killing ninety four people in twin attacks in norway on friday according to his attorney he has confessed with three big describing his actions as quote gruesome but necessary he allegedly shot dead eighty seven people most of them teenagers on the island of new toy during a youth camp rally for the governing labor party reportedly went to the island wearing a police uniform and asked people to gather around before opening fire around page happened just hours after a huge car bomb tore through central oslo killing at least seven a second man was seized by special forces in the area where victims fellow relatives had gathered

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 a if it was a sort of battle between the bond markets and the italian government so those sort of without wanting to paint nightmare scenario yes i don't think we're out of the woods yet meanwhile across the atlantic the u.s. government remains divided over the country's national debt 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 boring on top of the existing limit of fourteen point three trillion dollars if a decision isn't reached by august second the u.s. will be unable to pay its bills and have to default democrats suggested resolving the looming default by increasing taxes on the ridge while republicans are calling

for a severe spending cuts investigative journalist greg palast says it's the man on the street who will eventually have to pay for the government's excessive spending. george bush when he was president for two thousand and one two thousand and eight one on why it's. a surplus given to him and eighty six billion dollars a year by bill clinton turned that into a six hundred million dollars per year deficit adding three trillion dollars us. eric cantor voted for all those for bush's wars in iraq for the weapons for the tax cuts now these guys don't want to pay the bill they're trying to got to say that the that the tax cuts for the rich that bush is or is somehow the compromise means that the this in dollars will be paid for by eliminating benefits for the working class it's not our debt i didn't borrow the money i didn't

buy a virginia class submarine the cost to be a billion apiece bush or thirty six i didn't get anything labor by amazon to my door i didn't encourage these debts the american people the elderly people on social security didn't incur the debts veterans receiving better veterans benefits didn't increase the debt it was the result of bush's wars bush's tax cuts while spending for these programs what we need to do is increased spending for lower income people for the elderly because they'll spend it and get us out of this depression we're in a depression you can't save your way out of a depression the problem is that people are not spending made of banks are sitting on a trillion dollars in in cash and not lending it out i problem is the lack of spending in the united states. artie's zero new york resident laurie harshness task people in the big apple whether they're ready to pay more taxes to shore up the economy.

would you be willing to pay more in taxes to save your government from bankruptcy this week let's talk about that. definitely wouldn't pay much if any of their spending. demands whether they're spending 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're actually 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 service says you have to pay for people who aren't working as hard as you yeah yeah do. with that well 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 to spend all the money on creation wars in iraq and. so i would first stop the stupid wars and there you don't need the 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 cover. meant to use this.
