very slight. but there is. a nomination. each of them are trying to get he on the other hand there is just a late. lation. very bright and then you have water so. you know you're always the. way one of the. security analyst chris. in the u.k. thinks that no way was just not prepared for this type of crisis. what we're talking about here is possibly a lack of resources instructive to. the european organization called the police forces in europe and europe all. together. 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 not not being done before because there are any number of reports that you can read on the internet and privately those reports. suggest that the the rise of right wing extremism in europe prevalent a number of years so the question is why have we not move into ourselves. we have done these things much better probably we could have done. it where do we go from here. well the norwegian attacks have sent shock waves around the world and passionate debate on what lies about hind such a brutal act if you are going to a website right now r.t. dot com we are asking you what's triggered the norwegian tragedy checking out the stats and i was so far the majority of you think that shift fanaticism is to blame

for fewer people forty percent say the tensions stem from multiculturalism nine percent say the reason is global terrorism which penetrates everywhere and the minority says it's down to the failure over security forces what is your view on this. call to make sure you have your say. but on the way here in our public purposely in the gutter. they decided well that guy looks a little different so he must be arab and if he's arab then he must have explosives ignorance as the basis of national policy is a pretty scary situation find out how activists are linking the report of murdoch phone hacking scandal to the invasion topics of the state. plus nato begins with drawing combat troops from afghanistan but are the local security forces ready to fend for themselves stay with us for a special report from inside the war zone. you with r.t.

now greece has seen a glimpse of hope after european leaders came up with a plan to fight its debt crisis after long ago she actions e.u. 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 the period in which it must repay its loans doubled 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. and i think it's going to prolong the agony unfortunately a lot more money has been thrown at 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 hollow words until the words do not inspire confidence in markets and dot has got to be some degree of a problem for the euro in the longer term. financial woes also a rifle across the atlantic where the u.s. president has held emergency talks with congressional leaders barack obama accused party members of risking a new global catastrophe after talks to avert a debt default collapsed congress to must approve a plan to allow more boring on top of its current fourteen trillion dollars level before august the second if the decision is not 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 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's excess. george bush when he was president in two thousand and one to two thousand when i why i know. he had a surplus given to me 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 bushes or senate or the weapons for the tax cuts now these guys don't want to pay the bill they're trying to got to. they had the that the tax cuts for the rich that bush is or is somehow the compromise means that

the this should in dollars will be paid for by eliminating benefits for the working class the american people the elderly people on social security didn't encourage the debts the 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. is now at ten minutes past the hour here in the russian capital you with to thanks for joining us getting back to our top story now of course friday's attack in norway and also on the camping island over ninety victims are gunned down by a norwegian who actually admits responsibility for the for the bombing in the shooting but denies breaking the law let's get some more details on this now cross live thought he's done you'll bushel who is standing by for us in daniel what new details of a most off the anders behring breivik admitted his guilt. as you say the government has admitted to the crimes he says it was an atrocious yes necessary that was

needed to shake up society in fact as it wasn't a crime more details are emerging about saying there are pictures of him holding guns he's posted a bizarre fifteen hundred page book in which he says and i quote once you decide how to strike it's better once you decide to strike it is better to kill too many of the not enough or you risk reducing the desired ideological impact of the strike it said he's been plotting this for nine years just to remind you there was a blast here in the city center the government headquarters and just a few hours later finally he travel to the island just outside those low way he began shooting indiscriminately dressed as a police officer with a gun which students around suspicion because of this blast here the children didn't think that this was the gunman a month he started shooting they thought it was balloons they couldn't believe it they started running for their lives swimming jumping into the into the sea and swimming for their lives hiding in the rocks a really horrific scenes here of the tragedy and i know i think the word is

horrific as you say there now you are and also at the moment how is the mood in the capital since the shock times. whether this is under way attended by king harald of norway and there's a court hearing on monday now where the suspect was a member of the progress party which is opposed to immigration he's posted violently and legs and he was shooting at the labor party youth rally now the labor party is considered generally open to immigration and integration and police are saying they don't know yet for sure whether he acted alone there are reports of a second accomplish this looking up to ninety seven people now may have been killed there has been criticism that it's been from an hour to an hour and a half to get to the crime scene the police. say that there was difficulty finding transport to the island they were also looking for muslim initially and their

stories of immense who is them or remerging of people who helped fellow victims there was a growing criticism here now of the government's integration policy which may have sparked the attack may report now. brave christine who was. called bomb explosion in days and surrounded by broken clothes she stayed in the blast so to help the wounded to wait this just standing thing and then suddenly it just faded it was like a car like a fish just waiting for you pumping it out like plastics in their eyes. you know they got smashed glass all over them the skin and everything this show patched up victims before giving its 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. lorne's from.

buildings. people told things gaming. this man's wife suffered severe short when their windows were blown out by the blast but he says they're lucky to be alone he's thoughts go out to the many young victims of the second time i think about the vision the shape the t.v. and there are eyes. that are in some places close to the two atrocities produced many acts of heroism but to sit on the walls worst mass shooting experts say there's also boise anger to the attacks were allowed to happen in the first place but into the truth or ignored dozens of hate messages from suspect. you haven't really been prepared for right wing extremism expressed fury at the government's. policy on immigration blogs and twitter feeds

and lists at the shootings may reflect growing national opposition to fully immigration policies the political establishment of more of a are relatively well off people but they have been areas where there are simply no immigrants just a poor people in or the being pushed out of places they used to live live in and it's also their drug stocks 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 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. way. far. wider. ready to admit and there's

a polite and respectful attitude towards that kind of. mainstream media but the reality is that fifty percent of norwegians are against multiculturalism as 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 together this shattered lawyer but experts warn this might not be the last such a turk as the perceived failure of a multicultural society grows the new bush will see oslo. you are watching the weekend here on our t.v. an hour 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 it direct responsibility stating that senior managers and those directly involved in

reporting stories. james murdoch has now been accused of trying to mislead british m.p.'s office saying he was unaware of the true extent of phone hacking by reporters where the runtime minister david cameron led the calls for him to answer further questions after as evidence was challenged the murdoch's could now face legal challenges in the united states 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 because r.t. is a guy later can reports critics believe the issue is just the tip. the iceberg in a society that no longer values the pursuit of the poor. as the scandal over phone hacking by the murdoch 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 and we see breaches of privacy happening in regimes all across america all across the world really in every sector surveillance is rampant but really this is all a microcosm of the biggest surveille are 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 see all the toilets that 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 realtime physical location on a map and this is the shot he took on he. way to our studio which was immediately out floated on his website hassan 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 that's a 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 is the basis of national policy is a pretty scary situation and that's how i got caught up in it for haasan privacy 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 mused for board directors you 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. since the mccarthy 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 at

companies or when other industries leave on breaching people by the seat in the u.s. it's so widespread and people have gotten so used to it that would put 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 are not so unique i'm going to check our reporting from washington our team. now divers have recovered more bodies on a pleasure cruise of it two weeks ago in russia's republic of tatarstan bringing the death toll now to one hundred nineteen the country's worst river disaster in years happened when the boat with over two hundred on board went down in just minutes emergency crews are now preparing to seal the area after was towed to a shallow waters the task now is to pump water from the sunken hole to make the right light enough to lift so the ship can be examined to determine exactly what

caused the wreckage the boat's owner is under investigation and two people have already been charged with violating safety regulations. well we follow the recovery operation. online as well go to our website to get the latest updates videos on the blog entries for all the details of the tragic event of the cruise i went to the salvage operation. also i want our website iran's media is denying reports a man shot dead in toronto was one of the country's nuclear scientists that he was a student who just happened to share the name of a known christmas. day over sixty years ago the u.s. revealed to the u.s.s.r. that it had a weapon of devastating power the atomic bomb would later become a catalyst for the cold war.

it's so good to have you with us on this sunday this is the weekly for now though we'll take a pause and check out some other headlines from around the world and nato has carried out seven air strikes on the libyan capital hitting colonel gadhafi residential compound state television reported nato strikes in tripoli's civilian and military science on friday a large crowd rallied in the capital in a show of support for the colonel whose whereabouts are still unknown. on the revolution it started back in february the nato led coalition air strikes in. a car bomb has killed eight soldiers in 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

a high speed trains have crashed into each other in eastern china killing at least thirty two and leaving more than one hundred people injured reports say one of the bullet trains stopped after it was hit by lightning just before being hit by another train from behind. two train coaches fell off a bridge as a result of the crash and a rescue operation continues now at the site officials say each carriage could carry up to one hundred people. 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 renewed 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 quote tough times ahead for the war effort afghan president's brother who run the south of the country was recently gunned down by insurgents one of the top advisers has also been assassinated antiwar activist brian becker thinks the u.s.

led coalition is losing its grip on afghanistan. they can't win by staying in fact their presence is becoming the main catalyst for the armed insurgency not only the taliban but maybe one hundred forty armed groups and they can't leave either because if they leave there will be a perception that the u.s. 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 give afghan face to the nato occupation that itself is now crumbling these are 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 ground steadily at spending one hundred twenty billion dollars a year that's an increasing amount from the treasury that's already into. rain

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 crime when 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. and analysts also say the violence in afghanistan is being precipitated by local security forces which contain drug addicts and those connected to the taliban well that's why this nato has begun to hand the control over parts of the country back to the locals but there's concern afghans are too divided untrained and in a quipped to fend off the insurgency by themselves jason reports from couple. there's confusion on the faces of the afghan army soldiers as a firefight unfolds on the other side of the wall lucky for them this is the kabul

military training center in the bullets being fired blanks the men here halfway through a ten week program and the officers don't cut the many slack when it's over the be deployed eastern province one of afghanistan's most violent corners. but we must push them hard so they can perform under pressure day by day we're making progress the afghan national army has already come a long way its ranks have swollen to about one hundred seventy thousand troops thanks to fresh waves of recruits attracted by higher wages and extra perks the soldiers insist they are all united in their desire to beat back the taliban led insurgency regardless of age or ethnicity then in the army we are old brothers and we are all called by one name. by the call of duty is also struck a chord beyond able bodied males a first ever class of woman soldiers has just graduated. and there is even a mujahedeen unit made up of hardened veterans of the anti soviet jihad this is all good news to u.s. military planners who have set

a two thousand and fourteen going to hand over security responsibilities to the afghans the afghan army enjoys a much better reputation in the police force and has even been featured in the recent movie. but is the army takes greater responsibility for security around the country there are concerns that the quality of troops may be coming if the expense of quality start is more than eighty percent of troops are literally a big problem in the ability to read maps and numbers can spell the difference between life and death adding to the woes are widespread drug use and desertion is today roughly one in four combat soldiers quit their post critics also point out that the military leadership is made up of many rival x. warlords who still command loyalties along regional and ethnic lines and could drag the country deeper into conflict 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 neutral. be here late ninety's fighting each other really killing each other these people. groups

control it in yet another obstacle for a young army that still has much to prove before it can stand on its own feet jason want to live in kabul for two. all right over the stories i met headlines this week you are watching the weekly i'll be back in just a few moments with a recap last orders to stick with us. all. from.
