guns registered his name and he was a weight lifting fan and he's apparently been plotting this for up to nine years there's emerge details of a bizarre fifteen hundred page. story which is told about it including how to make bombs and quoted once you decide to strike it is bits to kill too many of them not enough or you risk producing the desired ideological impact of the strike there's also a video which has appeared in which he is dressed in army uniform with with a machine gun and he's expressed violent muslim views he was briefly a member of norway's progress party which is opposed to immigration and he attacked the labor party youth rally labor party is generally open to migration as is norway as a whole and there's a court hearing on monday and memorial service today sunday at oslo cathedral just a few hundred meters from here and the day of mourning has been held norway's king harold will attend the service down can you describe the mood in the city and tell

us how the locals are coming to grips with what happened. tensions are obviously high the streets fairly empty this is anger from several quarters muslims. that the first accusations were targeted at them the police say that he may not have acted alone and they're looking for more victims that you toyah at the island shooting location said there may or may be up to ninety eight victims if they're still looking for a few for a few casualties took one half hours to work to stop the massacre police said that it was difficult to get to the island to this criticism of police there and also fact that they were so quick to link the the attack to move limbs and while stories are emerging of immense heroism mung among ordinary people jury and of the attack criticism is growing of of perhaps failure of multicultural policy in

norway as this report shows. brave christine who was hit by the explosion in a daze and surrounded by broken clothes she stayed in the to help the wounded waitress just standing thing and then suddenly it just fate i was like i can like a fish just waiting for you pumping it out like plastics in their eyes. you know that gets smashed glass all over them the skin and everything this show. victims before giving a whole drinks as a nation which has never suffered at the hands of terrorists before he says norwegians just didn't know how to react. alarms from. buildings. people gaming rolling on this man's wife suffered severe short when their windows were blown out by the last but he says they're

lucky to be a low life he's thoughts go out to the many young victims of the second time i think about the. kids in the island i think. that parents is close to the two atrocities produced many acts of heroism but the census on the walls worst mass shooting experts say there's also closing anger that the attacks were allowed to happen in the first place. ignored dozens of hate messages from suspect. you haven't really been prepared right wing extremism brave expressed fury at the government's open door policy on immigration blogs and twitter feeds. the shootings may reflect growing national look position to flee 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 all the big push. places they used to live. in jeopardy muslims claim this disappointment that the killer turned out to be wants they want this guy to be a muslim although most of you know. it's for them it's a little bit strange because he's in the region so they talk too much about them and about us it's not about 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 putting away the 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 norwegians are against multi called terms and it's people who try to pick up the pieces and bring meaning to this twitter already saying it will sell relations between communities some expect the crackdown by police on the e.u. growing far right movements while others fear this will only fuel resentment against europe's muslims victims are beginning to piece back together the shouts of lawyers but the experts warn this might not be the last such attack as outrage at the perceived failure of a multicultural society grows bush will see. someone who knows anders breivik personally told r.t. he was shocked by the news but says oslo is a place where radicalism is in the air. i could not imagine i even imagine that he must have been brainwashed or he had an ego and especially who in relation to girls for example the there

are other guys that i. have worked with. and that kind of a little bit. but still almost but you know i. on the other hand. the sas there is going to. be compared to but there is any. denomination. that are trying to. on the other hand there is just ole. and then you have wars. basically like just. wrong way do you want to. security analyst chris from manchester in the u.k. thinks that norway was just not prepared for this type of crisis. what we're

talking about here is a possibly a lack of resources it is instructive today that. the european organization pulling all three police forces in europe europe all. together said that setting up a group of fifty or 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 how we don't move into ourselves could we have to of these things much better probably we could have done. where do

we go from here. the norwegian attacks have sent shock waves around the world and sparked passionate debate on what lies behind such a brutal act on our web site r.t. dot com we're asking what's trigger dinner we can tragedy so far the majority of you think sheer fanaticism is to blame fewer people about forty percent say. multiculturalism percent say the reason is lobel terrorism which penetrates everywhere the minority though says it's down to the failure of security forces while you know so let us know what you're saying while logging onto our website r.t. dot com and having your say. on the way here in our public privacy in the gutter. we decided well that guy looks a little differently must be arab and if he's out of that he must have explosives ignorance as the basis of national policy is a pretty scary situation find out how activists are linking the rupert murdoch

phone hacking scandal to the invasion tactics of the state. plus nato begins withdrawing combat troops from afghanistan but are the local security forces ready to van for themselves and stay with us for a special report from the war zone. greece has seen a glimpse of hope after european leaders came up with a plan to fight its debt crisis after a long negotiations governments agreed on a range of measures designed to help the debt stricken country to avoid default greece will receive a new bailout worth an estimated one hundred nine billion euros the move will see interest rates on greek debt lowered and the period in which it must repay its loans double greece has been battling its debt crisis for the past eighteen months and has seen violent protests from a disillusioned public some critics think the second cash handout will not be the miracle cure that greece needs to avoid default. but i think it's going to prolong

the agony unfortunately a little more money has been through all of the greek economy in the. hope that that can stop the contagion but really a lot of it just looks like hype and i'm very very concerned that we haven't actually find a cure we've just got another sticking plaster you know what really the european union are trying to do here is they're trying to staunch the blood that's flowing the money that's flowing out of the greek economy that can has been kicked down the road the danger of contagion still leaking to other countries such as ireland portugal even italy and spain are there and therefore we don't have a cure but what we've seen so far unfortunately looks like holy words unholy words do not inspire confidence in markets and that has got to be some degree of a problem for the euro in the longer term financial woes are also rife across the atlantic where the u.s. president has held emergency talks with congressional leaders barack obama accused party members of risking and new global catastrophe after talks to avert

a debt the full collapse congress must approve a plan to allow more boring a top of its current fourteen trillion dollars level before august second if the decision is made by then the country could run out of money to pay its bills and may have to take measures that would threaten the global economic recovery both democrats and republicans are divided over details of the package of spending cuts and tax rises the deal offered by the president includes cuts to medical costs and other entitlements and as investigative journalist greg palast says it's the ordinary americans who will have to foot the bill for their government excess. george bush when he was president in two thousand and one to two thousand and eight when our y.-o. spits he had a surplus given germany 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 the bush's wars in iraq for him and weapons for the tax cuts now these guys don't want to pay the bill they're trying to got to saying that the that the tax cuts for the rich that bush is or is somehow the compromise means that. this three children dollars will be paid for by eliminating benefits for the working class 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. earlier this week rupert murdoch and his son james appeared before a u.k. parliamentary inquiry into the phone hacking scandal the media mogul denied their record sponsibility stating that senior managers and those directly involved in reporting stories were to answer james has now been accused of trying to mislead

british m.p.'s working after saying he was unaware of the true extent of phone hacking by reporters prime minister david cameron led the calls for him to answer further questions after these negatives was challenged the murdoch's could now face legal challenges in the u.s. over claims the voice mails of nine eleven victims were also targeted meanwhile britain's hacking scandal appears to be spreading beyond murdoch's newspapers with claims the sunday mirror tabloid also infiltrated the voice messages of celebrities but as artie's gun edged to counter reports critics believe the issue is just the tip of the iceberg in a society that no longer values the privacy of the people. as the scandal over phone hacking by the murdoch's media empire rages on public and political fury has mainly focused on ruthless tabloids out of control prepared to invade people's private lives and even the dad to get the story but some say in this day and age

the whole concept of privacy is falling apart and in the u.s. more rapidly than elsewhere every time you tap on your cell or click on google or use your mail service everybody's sort of just clicks through that you agree to our terms and conditions well those terms and conditions are very very heavily weighted against you and your privacy interests we see you breaches of privacy happening. all across america all across the world really in every sector surveillance is rampant but really this is all a microcosm of the biggest surveyor of all which is the state there's little americans can do with the state having sweeping access to their private information access that followed the. nine eleven terrorist attacks under a new law known as the patriot act asana law his privacy was taken away from him in two thousand and two when he was detained by the f.b.i. for absolutely no reason he says and scrutinized for months without charge he's

response for nine years he has voluntarily documented nearly every waking hour of his life on the web he has subsequently even turned it into a form of art sealed i listen i've used so you know that over here for example you know that on sunday november twenty fourth of two thousand and seven i've used this toilet i went grocery shopping at safeway over there on october seventeenth i got gas over here he posts copies of every debit card transaction so you can see what he bought where and when a g.p.s. device in his pocket reports his real time physical location on a map and this is the shot he took on his way to our studio which was immediately uploaded on his website hazen says his extraordinary abandonment of his own privacy stems from the ignorance of the authorities but in the fear they decided well that guy looks a little different so he must be arab and if he's arab then he must have explosives everyone knows that and that's the logic we're operating we we realize how

ridiculous that logic sounds but when your country when your own country takes that on as the basis for national policy. ignorance as the basis of national policy is a pretty scary situation. and that's how i got caught up in it for ha son piracy has become a rally of the past and he says he's not surprised that journalists or anyone else really would use the same surveillance tactics as the state in that sense it might be of no surprise that the chief architect of the patriot act the lawyer who put it together happens to be one of murdoch's hand-picked used for board directors victim served as assistant attorney general in the bush administration and was described by some as the purveyor of the most sweeping curtailment of freedom in the u.s. system across the era at a time when corporations and the government can easily hack into people's private lives it doesn't come as a surprise when for example social networks give your personal information to add

companies or when other industries leave bob breaching people by the seat in the u.s. it's so widespread and people have gotten so used to it that rupert murdoch seems to be perfect part of the system rather than some special bill and with corporation has been undertaking some unique all lawful practices because here in america they're not so unique i'm going to check our reporting from washington r.t. james combat the editor of the independent news website says the public's trust has been seriously undermined by the phone hacking scandal. to find out that certain officers had been on the payroll of these organizations and providing details today to the journalists who were involved in a scandal that in itself is quite a disgrace and it does raise the question of who is properly qualified to to look into this into to form a proper investigation certainly not the police itself investigating itself that would be ridiculous at this point and the idea again of

a parliamentary inquiry it has to be at least seem to be completely free of ties to the prime minister's office certainly and and to any other m.p.'s who may have been implicated in the scandal so it's going to be an incredible mess unfortunately for the british people to be sorting through right now and i think trust in the public institutions has been necessarily eroded by this appalling disgraceful conduct on the part of so many different people in whom the public has invested so much trust . divers have recovered the bodies of three women from a pleasure cruiser that sank two weeks ago in russia's republic of tatarstan bringing the death toll to one hundred seventeen the country's worst river disaster in years happened on the volga when the boat with over two hundred on board went down in minutes emergency crews are now preparing to seal the bulgaria after it was towed to shallow waters the task now is to pump water from the sunken home to make the red light enough to lift the ship can be examined to determine what caused the

wreckage the boat's owner is under investigation and two people have already been charged with violating safety regulations. we follow the recovery operation of the bulgaria ship online as well go to our website to get the latest updates videos and blog entries can follow the all the details of the tragic events from the moments the cruise a run down to the latest salvage operation. also iran's media's denying reports a man shot down into iran was one of the country's nuclear scientists and asserts that he was a student who just happened to share the name of a known businesses. and on this day over sixty years ago the u.s. revealed to the u.s. the star that i had a weapon of devastating power the atomic bomb would later become a catalyst for the cold war.

i'll stick look at some other stories from around the world nato has carried out at least seven new airstrikes on the libyan capital hitting colonel gadhafi as residential compound state television reported the nato strikes had hit tripoli civilians and military sites on friday a large crowd rallied in the capital in a show of support for the colonel whose exact whereabouts still an unknown levy is ongoing revolution started in february with the nato led coalition launching airstrikes in march. a car bomb has killed eight soldiers in the yemen's coastal city of aden the blast took place near the entrance of an army camp as a convoy of vehicles packed with troops was about to leave the compound they were supposed to take part in fighting against al qaeda linked militants in a nearby province the attack follows another car blast that took place a few days ago which killed one person. two high speed trains have crashed

into each other in eastern china killing at least thirty two people and leaving more than one hundred injured reports say one of the bullet trains stop after he was hit by lightning before being hit by another train from behind two train coaches fell off a bridge as a result of the crash a rescue operation continues at the site fishel say each carriage could carry up to one hundred people. hundreds of protesters from across spain have gathered in madrid angry over the government's handling of the country's economic crisis activists have spent about a month marching to the capital from their hometowns holding meetings every city and gathering supporters the protesters are fighting against stiffest area measures implemented to cut the deficit. a joint raid by nato and afghan forces has left sixteen militants dead in the south of the country the operation comes in response to a new taliban activity as foreign combat troops begin their withdrawal from afghanistan

nato has a new military commander in the country general john allen warns of tough times ahead for the war effort the afghan president's half brother who ran the south of the country was recently gunned down by insurgents one of whom a karzai top advisors has also been assassinated by war activist brian becker thinks the u.s. led coalition is losing its grip on a gap. they can't win by staying in their presence is becoming the main catalyst for the armed insurgency not only the telegram but maybe one hundred forty armed groups and they can't leave either because if they leave there will be a perception that the us and nato were defeated by an armed insurgency but this dilemma must be solved some way so ultimately the united states cannot prevail the assassination of karzai as brother and his inner circle shows that the edifice of the karzai regime necessary at least to get afghan face to the nato. the patient that itself is now crumbling he's armed attacks these assassination attempts are

designed to create panic and i think in all likelihood they are creating panic within the very heart the foundation of the karzai government the u.s. is losing grown steadily its spending one hundred twenty billion dollars a year that's an increasing amount from the treasury that's already drained based on huge budget deficits here the number of casualties on the afghan and american side is is increasing not decreasing and yet they're no closer to victory in fact they're losing control of the country and the government that they sponsor is is in fact in danger of crumbling i would say the us hasn't gained anything i think the us is losing ground it's spite of what david petraeus and the obama administration say this is a bad situation possibly a catastrophe for the united states the u.s. has been carrying out unmanned drone strikes in pakistan for years but now one of the masterminds of the attacks is in crosshairs former cia official john research faces

a lawsuit over civilian casualties human rights lawyers and the families of victims are seeking an arrest warrant against him it's claimed recently approved list of targets for the drone strikes which often resulted in scores of civilian deaths or a as a member of a campaign group that's bringing the action against reso she told r.t. that washington must be held to account for its operations in pakistan. thus far these drones have been operating in pakistan in the federal federal administrated tribal areas fata they've been operating in secret by the cia and they've been killing indiscriminately hundreds of civilians and so the purpose of this is this hopefully to get transparency out of out of the cia and out of obama and to to get some justice on behalf of the victims of these drone strikes as we know the u.s. is not in a war in fact the u.s. that is operating extra legally by carrying out these drone strikes in pakistan in yemen and somalia and in terms of it being disproportionate you know we have

numbers coming out of pakistan that indicate that you know for every one suspected militants being killed one hundred forty innocent civilians are dying as a result of these strikes and so if those numbers are correct you know we have people on the ground who are who are gathering the information who are doing the investigation to try to collect the information so that we can bring a more transparent a more honest picture to the public about what's happening in pakistan. well a recap of our top stories coming your way in just a few moments stay with us. we'll
