you know we're. going and a little bit o. . build on it but you know when. you lose the sound. very slight. you can be compared to but there is. a denomination saying. that each of them are trying to get you need on the other hand there is just a late. lation who are very kind of priapic and then you have water so. basically like just you know you're always a. wrong way to be one up. and just and dog and a research fellow with the dubai initiative says that recent years have created the perfect environment for far right extremism to flourish while this transnational islamic terrorism has been on the radar for some time the very real threat of the
7:02 am
homegrown right wing extremists has been over law within most western countries we have seen two things happening at the same time we have 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 and then compound these factors is also better and 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
7:03 am
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. the norwegian attacks have sent shock waves all around the world and spot passionate debate over what lies behind such a brutal act on our web site r.t. dot com have a look now we're asking you where what triggered the norwegian tragedy so far the majority of you think the shift fanaticism mr blaine fewer people of 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 of security forces i want your take on this slogan to r.t. dot com and have your say. on the way here on r.t. has a handover nato begins with combat troops from afghanistan but are local security forces ready to fend for themselves i do stay with us for a special report from deep inside the war zone. here

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 negotiations 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 now worth an estimated one hundred and 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 a scene of violent protests from a disillusioned public journalist simon young says that despite the second cash handout 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 countries won't receive that but of course. i mean do we believe that i'm not sure
7:05 am
that we do because it's inconceivable that the europeans wouldn't step in very and it's also i think inconceivable that even the resources now available to the financial stability fund the sort of nascent european monetary fund there i think they wouldn't really be sufficient in the end if it was a sort of battle between the bond markets and the italian government so without wanting to paint nightmare scenarios i don't think we're out of the woods yet. 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 a new global catastrophe if the talks to avert a debt default collapsed congress and must approve a plan to allow more borrowing on top of its current fourteen trillion dollars level before august the second time if the decision is not made by then the country
7:06 am
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 a credit past says it's of the ordinary americans who will have to foot the bill for their government's excess. george bush when he was president from two thousand and one to two thousand and eight when our why don't spend he had 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 bush's wars in iraq or the weapons for the tax cuts now these guys don't want to pay the bill they're trying to got
7:07 am
a. dad the that the tax cuts for the rich that bush is or is somehow the compromise means that. this 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. just owning a turn of minutes past the hour here in moscow you with r.t. and the weekly 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 direct responsibility stating that senior managers and those directly involved in reporting stories were to answer james murdoch has now been accused of trying to mislead british m.p.'s after saying he was unaware of the true extent of phone
7:08 am
hacking reporters prime minister david cameron and lead the calls for him to answer further questions after his evidence was challenged the models could now face a legal battle in the united states 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 of the phone hacking scandal and as r.t. said lohr 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 hall 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 one horror story bigger reminds me of how dr david kelly was bumped off eerily similar
7:09 am
tragedies of scene who are in david kelly all this madness toward the end david can we sean who are this what i'm thinking something's not right dr kelly was the u.n. weapons inspector who first cast 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 hordes on the eight. of july two thousand and three it was british journalist andrew gilligan who david 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 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'd got into the public spotlight anyone with an iota of sense
7:10 am
in government would have known that to kill them would just would just amplify the story i think it's simply 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 news international the journalistic world in london is a very small place and the man was distraught he was well known but he was drinking too much taking drugs he was depressed the moralized police are saying hall's 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
7:11 am
accepted that their suspicions of hardly been 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 the death of a key whistleblower in this scandal has raised questions but so far only amongst the twitter aussie it's being reported as a horrible and unfortunate coincidence but it's doubtful. but if they said happened elsewhere say in russia or in india the british media would be so quick to accept it as a coincidence particularly looked at in the light of the death of david kelly you were and it's over t.v. . and i don't know about to our top story here on our weekly norway's first ever terror attack the man charged with friday's atrocities admits he carried out the bombing and the shooting spree single handedly let's get more now from our he's
7:12 am
done your bushell standing by live in oslo. don you have new details that have bring us up to date after anders behring breivik admitted his guilt. yes as you say the suspect has admitted the crime he says it was an appalling yet necessary act and he adds that it was needed to shake up norwegian society he claimed it wasn't a crime more details are emerging about the suspect that he posted a bizarre fifteen hundred page book where he says how to make a bomb and i quote once you decide to strike it's better to kill too many of the multi nuff or you risk reducing the desired ideological impact of the strike there are also violent anti muslim views on that site now to just remind you what happened there was a car bomb here explosion here in the city center government headquarters and just a few hours later apparently he traveled just outside to an island where gathered
7:13 am
in a police uniform he took her children around him he had a gun because of the close to here the children were expecting there were lots of policemen with guns around at the time so they weren't surprised by that and then he began to shoot shouting i'll kill everyone everyone must die now we have new pictures of a swimmer's people swimming for survival. for their lives hiding in the rocks of a ten year old boy being rescued today is a day of mourning there's a memorial service being held just a few hundred meters from here in oslo cathedral and the court hearing is on monday all right daniel you are in oslo right now how the people feeling there since these shocking times. tensions are high people are still trying to figure out how something like this could have happened the police say there's still maybe more casualties up to ninety seven recorded and there is criticism that it took them from an hour to an hour and
7:14 am
a half after receiving information of the attack on the island that it took them over an hour to get to the scene and to stop the massacre there's also been criticism they were looking for muslims initially they were saying it was a muslim attack the police say that it was difficult to get to the island they had to. in transport their stories are emerging of immense heroism of ordinary people who rescued fellow victims who went back into the danger area here in the city center but also there is growing criticism here in oslo of government integration policies which seem to have backfired more now in this report. brave christine who was hit by the call bomb explosion in days and surrounded by broken clothes she stayed in the blast so to help the wounded the waitress just standing talking and then suddenly you could just fade i was like i come like a fish just waiting for you above the law fade out like plastics in their eyes. you

know that gets 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 from. buildings. people sheltering is gaming rolling on 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 attack i think about the vision to shoot their house here and i think. they are and so this is just the two atrocities produced many acts of heroism because the dust settles on the walls worst mass shooting experts say there's also anger to the attacks were allowed to happen in the first place and give the truth
7:16 am
or ignore dozens of hate messages from suspect. you haven't really been prepared for right wing extremism expressed fury at the government's open door policy on immigration blogs and. defeats at the shootings may reflect growing national look position to fool you immigration policies the political establishment or more they are relative the bell of people that live in areas where there are simply no immigrants so that was a poor people in northern be 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 buoyant they want this guy to be a muslim muslim you know. it's for them it's a little bit strange because he's know we didn't so they talk too much about us. it is not good. to be fed up with their brand of what's been dubbed radical
7:17 am
liberalism it's the country's multicultural policies to turn the government against his own pulling away. far right. why don't. we. 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 here try to pick up the pieces and bring meaning to this twin attack they're already saying 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 the shouts of lawyers but the experts warn this might not be the last such a time as outrage at the perceived failure of a multicultural society grows the new bush you see oslo. now i just

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 u.s. hasn't gained anything i think the u.s. is losing ground and spite of what david petraeus and the obama administration say this is a bad situation possibly a catastrophe for the united states. you're with r.t. life in the heart of moscow now or when it comes to starting a family some couples will embrace every possible method to achieve their dream while illegal in many countries commercial surrogacy is an option in russia but can
