dubbed radical liberalism it's the country's multicultural policies to turn the government against his own but in no way the far right sentiment is. 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 new winton's are against multiculturalism as people here 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 the girl's. parents are other guys. like. you have working with. and kind of a little bit. but still on. the other hand if you lose the thank you very. much you can be compared to but there is any possible to nomination.

5:07 am
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 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 in the coming years we're going to see more of this right wing extreme is. 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 you're looking at the royal family and prime minister are present

5:12 am
that the tax cuts for the rich that bush is or is somehow the compromise means that these this in dollars will be paid for by eliminating benefits for the working class b. 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 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 true extent of phone hacking by reporters were minister david cameron led the calls for him to answer further

questions 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 journalist sean hoare the man credited with revealing the phone hacking scandal at his article or m.f. reports his death is drawing striking parallels with another whistleblower. another political scandal erupts another whistleblower diaries sean hoare was the first former 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 blogosphere into a frenzy of comparisons with the case of dr david kelly why isn't this story bigger reminds me of how dr david kelly was bumped off eerily similar tragedies of seen david kelly. to work there and they haven't shown who are that's what i'm thinking
5:14 am
something's not trying to kelly was the u.n. weapons inspector who first cost out 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 holds on the eighteenth of july two thousand and three it was british journalist andrew gilligan who dates. kelly had spoken to to publicize his belief that the forty five minute claim had been exaggerated gilligan believes there are similarities between kelly and short haul being at the center of one of these storms a terrifying experience i really don't believe either david or 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 government would have known that to kill them would just would just amplify the
5:15 am
story i think it's simpler i think both were under enormous pressure from their roles as whistle blows and and found it difficult to cope with that pressure sean hoare 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 colson who later became a media director to the current prime minister has always denied the allegations the man was destroyed professionally by abuse international the journalistic world in london is a very small place and the man was distraught he was well known he was drinking too much taking drugs he was depressed and demoralised police are saying hall's death doesn't appear suspicious and their 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 hardly been quelled by the fact the post-mortem

5:17 am
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 into 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 disaster in years happened on the ball when the boat with over two hundred down in minutes

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 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 in spite of what david petraeus and the obama administration
