and goodwill towards he's ignored dozens of hate messages from suspect anders behring breivik you haven't really been prepared for right wing extremism brave expressed fury at the government's open door policy on immigration. logs and twitter feeds and lists at the shootings may reflect a growing national look position to field immigration policies the political establishment of norway are relatively well off people but they have been areas where there are simply no immigrants for people in or the other being pushed out of places they used to live really been on the soles of their drugs that are in jeopardy muslims claim this disappointment that the killer turned out to be wants they want this guy to be a muslim or how muslim you know. it's for them it's a little bit strange because he's in the region so they talk too much about just about us it's not about norwegians are said to be fed up with the ground of what's
5:06 am
been dubbed radical liberalism it's the country's multicultural policies that turn the government against his own pulling away the far right sentiment. wider than. ready to admit and there's a respectful attitude towards that kind of. mainstream media but the reality is that fifty percent of the new og against multiculturalism is people who try to pick up the pieces and bring meaning to this twitter already thing it will foul relations between communities some expect the crackdown by police on the e.u. growing full right movements while others fear this will only fuel resentment against your muslims victims are beginning to piece spoke together the shouts of lawyers but the experts warn this might not be the last such attack as outrage at
5:07 am
the perceived failure of a multicultural society grows the new bush will see oslo 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 haven't. been. the ego. who in relation to. their effect would prefer other guys working like. working with but it's. kind of a little bit. but. you know i. think compared to both there is an easy blow to nomination but.
5:08 am
he's. trying to be. on the other hand there is just a lay. population. very bright and that water. is basically like the. wrong way do you want. just an organ a research fellow with a divine mission to have created the perfect environment for far right extremism to flourish. well this about transnational islamic terrorism has been on the radar for some time the very real threat of the homegrown right wing extremists has been over a lot of them within most western countries we have seen two things happening at the same time we've seen this type of ratcheting up of rhetoric and immigration rhetoric this is happening to us and also western europe and there's also been this demise we can say of multiculturalism so there have been individuals that have more
5:09 am
or less because quite quite self radicalized due to the violence and also due to the idea that there's just been an influx of immigration then compound these factors has also been of 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 and newly arrived immigrants so i think that this is something that is actually very very very very important for western policymakers to look at so i think that in the coming years we're going to see more of this right wing extremism . well let's now go to norway where a special service for the ninety two people confirmed dead is underway and these are live pictures that you're looking at the royal family and prime minister are
5:10 am
present at the ceremony and tributes and massachusetts' of sympathy are being left in the center of oslo and of churches around the country. well 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 are asking what's triggered the norwegian tragedy so far the majority of you think shira fanaticism is to blame fewer people forty percent say the tension stand for a multiculturalism nine percent say the reason is global terrorism which penetrates everywhere and the minority says it's down to the failure of security forces so what's your view on that let us know by logging on to our web site r t v dot com and having your say. and all the way here in our t.v. have hazard handover nato begins withdrawing combat troops from afghanistan but are

the local security forces ready to fan for themselves 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 ago she governments agreed on a range of measures designed to help the debt stricken country to avoid a 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 a period in which it must repay its loans greece has has been battling its debt crisis for the past eighteen months and has seen violent protests from a dissolution public journalist simon young says that despite the second cash handouts troubles in greece are far from over. 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
5:12 am
countries won't receive that but of course it's do we believe that i'm not sure that we do because it seemed conceivable that the europeans wouldn't step in very and it is also i think inconceivable that even the resources now available to the financial stability fund a 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 kate's and the italian government so without wanting to paint nightmare scenario i don't think we're out of the woods yet. financial woes are also rife across the atlantic were the us president has held emergency talks with congressional leaders barack obama accused party members of risking a huge global catastrophe after tossing avert a death the fold collapsed congress must approve a plan to allow more boring on top of its current for fourteen trillion dollars

level before august second if the decision isn't 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 a taffeta of spending cuts and tax writers a 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's excess. george bush when he was president want to go i wasn't one of why i don't spend. a surplus giving jimmy eighty six billion dollars a year by bill clinton turned it into a six hundred million dollars per year deficit adding three trillion dollars us. eric cantor called for all those bush's wars a rack for the weapons for the tax cuts now these guys don't want to pay the bill
5:14 am
which got to. their the that the tax cuts for the issue which is or is somehow a compromise means that the this in dollars will be paid for by eliminating benefits or the were in which the american people being elderly people on social security didn't encourage their 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 deny direct responsibility 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 after saying he was unaware of the truth stand of phone hacking by reporters minister david cameron led the calls for him to answer further questions
5:15 am
after his evidence was challenged the markets could now face a legal battle in the u.s. over claims the voice mails of nine eleven victims were also targeted meanwhile questions are asked over the demise of jura was shot or the man credited with revealing a phone hacking scandal as it is lower end of reports his death is drawing striking parallels with another whistleblower. another political scandal erupts another whistleblower diaries sean hoare was the first form of news of the world journalists to go on the record to allege that phone hacking was endemic at the paper and that its editor andy colson actively encouraged it who was found dead in his house on monday setting the bloke with fear into a frenzy of comparisons with the case of dr david kelly why isn't this one horror story bigger reminds me of how dr david kelly was bumped off the eerily similar
5:16 am
tragedies of seymour and david kelley all this madness and more than that it can be shown who are this what i'm thinking something's not right dr kelly was the u.n. weapons inspector who first cause doubt on the government's claim that iraq could deploy weapons of mass destruction within forty five minutes it led to scrutiny of tony blair's decision to invade iraq by extraordinary coincidence kelly's body was discovered exactly eight years before that of sean hoards of the eighteenth of july two thousand and three it was british journalist andrew gilligan who taped. kelly had spoken to to publicize his belief that the forty five minute claim had been exaggerated believes there are similarities between kelly and sean hoare being at the center of one of these storms a terrifying experience i really don't believe either david all sean hoare was murdered because. i simply don't think it would have been in anyone's interest to murder them once they got into the public spotlight anyone with an iota of sense in
5:17 am
government would have known that to kill them would just we just have a story i think it's simply i think both were under enormous pressure from their roles as whistle blows. and found it difficult to cope with that pressure so one who was evidence could have been crucial to proving that the news of the world editors supported a culture of listening to private voice mails for stories former editor andy cole said he later became a media director to the current prime minister has always denied the allegations the man was destroyed professionally by news international the world in london is a very small amount was destroyed as well. as taking drugs he was going to be moralized police this thing called death doesn't appear suspicious and they're looking at suicide dr kelly's death was also recorded as suicide although many including leading doctors and m.p.'s have never accepted that their suspicions of
5:18 am
hardly be quelled by the fact the post-mortem report and other evidence has been classified for seventy years so ten arrests six resignations two convictions and one death that the toll of the phone hacking scandal so far that the key whistleblower scandal has raised questions but so far only a month twitter ossie it's being reported as a horrible and unfortunate coincidence but it's doubtful that if it happened elsewhere say in russia or in india the british media would be so quick to accept it as a coincidence particularly gets out in the light at the death of david kelly your and. came scarab at the editor of the in a panel news websites as 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
5:19 am
involved in a scandal that in itself is is quite a disgrace and it does raise the question of who is properly qualified to to look into this and to to form a proper investigation certainly not the police itself investigating itself that would be ridiculous at this point and the idea of a parliamentary inquiry it has to be at least seen to be completely free of ties to the prime minister's office certainly and to any other m.p.'s it may have been implicated in this 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 happen of all the one the both with over two hundred on board went down in

5:24 am
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 occupation that itself is now crumbling and these 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 in america. inside is 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 crime wave i would say the us is in gaining anything i
5:25 am
think the us is losing ground it's part of what david petraeus and the obama administration say this is a bad situation possibly a catastrophe for the united states and also also say the violence in afghanistan is being precipitated by local security forces which contain drug addicts those connected to the taliban the spy this nato has begun handing control over parts of the country to the locals but there is concern our hands are too divided untrained and ill equipped to fan off the insurgency by themselves jason todd lack reports from kabul. there's confusion on the faces of the afghan army soldiers as a firefight unfolds on the other side of the wall looking for them this is the kabul military training center and the boards being fired blanks the men here halfway through a ten week program and the officers don't cut them in slack when it's over the be deployed in eastern congo or province one of afghanistan's most violent corners mark but we must push them hard so they can perform under pressure day by day we're

quality starters more than eighty percent of troops are illiterate a big problem in the building to read and that's a numbers can spell the difference between life and death adding to the was a widespread drug use and desertions today roughly one in four combat soldiers quit their post critics also point out that the military leadership is made up of many rival ex warlords who still command loyalty is a lot of regional there are people i could live with culturally the political class as the u.s. begins to scale back its role as custodian this summer there are concerns that these divisions may flare up if i start usually. it wouldn't be given a ninety three would be fighting each other and you'd be killing each other he's. writing him just some of the groups who control him yet another obstacle for a young army but still has much to happen before it can still in some cases more plug in called for something and i'll be back with a recap of our top stories in just a few minutes here on at. the
