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 metres from here in oslo cathedral and the court hearing is on monday the police say there still may be more casualties up to ninety seven recorded and there is criticism that it took them from an hour to an hour and 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 find 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. called bomb explosion in days and surrounded by broken globes she

stayed in the north to help. the waitress just standing and then suddenly you can just feel like it's just like i can like a fish just waiting for you to laugh that out like plastics in their eyes. you know that gets smashed glass all over the skin and everything. patched up victims before giving out drinks as a nation which has never suffered at the hands of terrorists before he says norwegians just didn't know how to react. a long storm from core some buildings were built on the people holding it gaming rolling on this man's wife suffered severe short when their windows were blown by the last 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. keep.

the parents places close to the two atrocities produced many acts of terrorism which is the citizens when the bill was mass shooting experts say this also boise and go to the attacks were allowed to happen in the first place and ignore 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 position to flee immigration policies the political establishment of. the people but they have been areas where there are simply no immigrants for people being pushed out of places they used to live. in jeopardy

muslims claim this disappointment that the killer turned out to be once they want this guy to be a muslim or how a 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 us. it is not good news regions 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 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 the 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 back together their shattered lawyers but experts warn this might not be the last such attack as outrage at the perceived failure of a multicultural society grows the new bush will see oslo. meantime all of anderson who knows the suspect personally told us here at r.t. that he was shocked by the news but that oslo was a place where radicalism is on the rise. i could not imagine i not even imagine that he must have been brainwashed or something he never came across as some kind of a religious fanatic or anything i mean i knew that he was religious but it wasn't like he was trying to urge you or anything you know he just i just knew

it was really just pretty much. i would do more describe him. simply by irritated all the way. angry that he would be so to speak second person but they all ran along the origin but not more than that i did not have they thought through the ideological. why based on the other hand salute around. like. all people who all have very radical religious all ranging from white christian and then you have people who are the leftist ideas and. have managed to find some right wing groups so i'm not generally surprised that equal find very free my ideas so central oslo is basically like just. which wrong way do you want to.

know that it was all of anderson a former acquaintance of the alleged killer and as. well the whole world is now discussing what lies behind the atrocity and you can join in on the debate on our website dot com starts now so far the majority of you think sheer fanaticism is to blame a few people say the tensions stem from multiculturalism nine percent believe the reason is that global terrorism which penetrates everywhere the rest say it's down to the failure of the security council to make sure you have your. vote. and still ahead if you're on the program as we do the weekly on r.t. nato begins handing over control of afghan provinces to local forces but many question if they are up to the job. plus we hear from campaigners against the u.s. drone attacks in pakistan want to fire a lawsuit at a former cia legal chief for approving attacks that killed hundreds of innocent.

this week the phone hacking and police bribery scandal was taken to the british parliament rupert murdoch his son james and former c.e.o. rebecca brooks all grilled by british lawmakers for several hours the trio said they were deeply sorry for what happened however new on occasions have emerged that the news international james were misled by saying he was unaware of the true extent of illicit phone tapping by his company's reporters meanwhile questions are being asked over the death of journalist sean hoare the man credited with revealing the phone hacking scandal. reports it's striking parallels with another whistleblower. from another political scandal erupts another whistleblower diaries sean hoare was the first news of the world journalists to go on the record to alleged 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. into a frenzy of comparisons with the case of dr david kelly why isn't this sean hoare story bigger reminds me of how dr david kelly was bumped off. eerily similar tragedies of shaun hall and david kelly wallace madness to what end david kelly shawn who are that's what i'm thinking something's not right dr kelly was the u.n. weapons inspector who first cost doubts 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 caylee's body was discovered exactly eight years before that of sean hordes on the eighteenth 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 believes there are similarities between kelley 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 clarify the 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 short haul of 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. international. and the man was. drinking too much taking drugs he was depressed moralized

police are saying paul'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 accepted that their suspicions of hardly be quelled by the fact the post-mortem reports and all the evidence has been classified for seventy years to 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 ossie it's being reported as a horrible and unfortunate coincidence but it's doubtful that if this had 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 at the death of david kelly you

were and. you're watching the weekly here on our two it's good to have you with us today emergency workers have recovered more bodies from the russian pleasure boat sank in the volga river two weeks ago killing more than one hundred twenty people the wrecked ship has now been lifted from the bottom in total shallow waters the task is now to drain the home so investigators can examine the vessel in detail to determine the cause of the tragedy the search meantime continues for the bodies of the last two missing victims which could still be trapped inside the bulgaria went down within minutes on the tenth of july drowning more than half of its two hundred passengers the most owner is under investigation and two people have already been charged and violating the safety regulations. also this week greece let out a sigh of relief after long talks e.u. leaders have finally agreed on how to help the country avoid defaulting on its debt athens will now receive a new bailout worth an estimated one hundred nine billion euros the plan that was

agreed after greece approved severe austerity measures which sent thousands protesting onto the streets the rescue will also involve lowering interest rates on greek debt and extending the period in which it can be repaid the package also. once a bankrupt portugal and ireland twice as much time to pay back their own loans meanwhile spain which has the highest rate of unemployment in the euro zone saw thousands of protesters converge on the capital on saturday with more rallies expected on sunday financial journalist patrick young says bailing out failing economies will not help them in the long term. i think it's going to prolong the agony unfortunately like everything we've been looking for for weeks we want to leadership from the european union and i think really the european union's own sort of press conference just demonstrates what a shambles this whole proceedings is i mean we have to sit through umpteen different leaders all telling us who's actually in charge and what's going on they

give certain parts of the information seems to be contradictory ultimately alone more money has been thrown at the greek economy in the hope that that to 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 on the can has been kicked down the road the danger of contagion still leaking to other countries such as arland portugal even italy and spain are there and therefore we don't have a cure ultimately we can't keep spending all of the banks money and all of the government's money on all of these economic issues and at the same time consumers are basically scared and i think they're going to dry up and not be willing to indulge in normal economic activity i think it's a worrying time. and fears of a default are also raging across the atlantic where barack obama met with congressional leaders in a desperate bid to avoid economic collapse previous talks with a republican house speaker broke down on friday congress must approve raising its

current fourteen point three trillion dollars debt level before august second or risk of default the impact which would shake the entire world economy the deal offered by president obama includes slashes to medical costs and other entire women's about democrats and republicans are divided over over the details of a package of spending cuts and tax rises and investigative journalist the palace says it's the ordinary americans who will have to foot the government's bills. george bush when he was president from two thousand and one to two thousand and eight when our y.-o. said he had a surplus we could given jimmy eighty six billion dollars 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 and brat weapons for the tax cuts now these guys don't want to pay the bill somehow but compromise means that these

this three children dollars will be paid for by eliminating benefits or the working class american people the elderly people want social security didn't encourage it gets better is 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 now are the beneficiaries basically people who got the money don't want to pay it back. well for more news and a comment on the financial woes gripping the world just head over to r.t. dot com here's a taste of what else is there waiting for you right now uncover a. mystery find out why every july since the eighteen eighties california so filled with some of the most powerful men in the world. and russians are rushing to stock up on painkillers the government prepares to make containing code available only by prescription and why the move has caused controversy at r.t.

dot com. you're watching the weekly here just for a moment we'll pause to cover some of today's other international headlines and clear up operations continue in china a day after two high speed trains collided in the east of the country at least thirty five people were killed almost two hundred injured one of the bullet trains was forced to stop after being struck by lightning and was then rear ended by a second train two of the coaches fell from a bridge as a result of the crash it was the first derailment on china's high speed rail network since the country launched the bullet trains in two thousand and seven. 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 officials said they were being sent to fight al qaeda linked militants in a nearby province the country has been hit by months of antigovernment protests

including clashes between security forces and groups. of friends have been paying tribute to amy winehouse british soldier as diva was found dead in her london flat on saturday police say the cause of death remains unexplained the twenty seven year old star won a myriad of awards including five grammys for her music and has been hailed as one of the most talented singers of her age a success was often overshadowed by a well documented battle with drugs and alcohol also the subject of a. song rehab last month she canceled her european tour after being booed off stage during a performance in serbia. but as well and president hugo chavez has returned home after spending a week and cuba undergoing chemotherapy he says he is now free of malignant cells and ready to continue his work last month chavez on the went to operation for a. fifty six year old leader who has been in power for more than

a decade said earlier that he will run for reelection next year. well in the latest operations led by nato and afghan forces sixteen insurgents have been killed in the country's south the raid comes in response to renewed its hell of an activity as nato begins a gradual withdrawal from afghanistan the plan is to recall all foreign combat troops by the end of two thousand and fourteen nato has a new a military commander in the country general john allen wants a tough times ahead for the war effort idea this month the afghan president's half brother was assassinated by one of his own bodyguards in a separate incident one of cars ice top advisors was also gunned down antiwar activist brian becker thinks that the u.s. led coalition is losing ground in afghanistan while the number of casualties continues to rise. 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 is 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 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 it's spending one hundred twenty billion dollars a year that's an increasing amount from the treasury that's already drain 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 in spite of what david petraeus and the obama administration say this is a bad situation possibly a catastrophe for the united states. now the u.s. has been carrying out unmanned drone strikes in pakistan for years but now one of the most the minds of the attacks is in the crosshairs himself former cia official join resigned faces a lawsuit of a civilian casualties she went on as lawyers on the families of victims seeking an arrest warrant against him claim the reserve approve a list of targets for the drone strikes which often resulted in scores of civilian deaths. is a member of the campaign group that's bringing the action against reside she told us 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 since all the purpose of this is is hopefully to gets a transparency out of out of the cia and out of obama and sued 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 pakistan the usa is operating extra legally by carrying out these drone strikes in pakistan in europe 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 more honest picture to the public about what's happening in pakistan. you're with are to live from moscow now when it comes to having a baby some couples are ready to embrace every possible method to achieve their

dream while illegal in many countries commercial surrogacy is an option in russia can carry a heavy financial and emotional price diary pushed over reports now on how poor legislation fails to protect those involved in the process and i should warn you there are some possibly disturbing pictures in this story these first photos of then tone made him an orphan seen he was ill his genetic parents refused even to hold him the boy has a rare and incurable genetic disease but that young over they simply threw him out like an unwanted kitten and picked a healthy one. while his healthy twin brother enjoys family life and don't has no one but hospital staff helping him to survive the boy sorry that mother also disappeared soon after the delivery little anton story is just one of the shocking examples of shortcomings in the russian family code that seeks to regulate sarika see in the country. in our modern world the idea of surrogacy is sometimes

distorted if you even be used to avoid the hardships of pregnancy and to preserve the beauty of a body that turns surrogacy into a business renting out a womb costs from twenty to thirty thousand dollars however often either those who pay nor the surrogate want to admit their involvement in the process the attitude to surrogacy in russia is on big years so many women simply don't want anyone to know their baby is carried by another woman of for many it's easier to resort to small or not such a small why how about one scene in public with this there really is no going back to the sides become entangled in a legal and moral not blackmail forms intended parents while sargon mothers greatest fear is not getting paid most of them see sorry to see as the only solution to their financial misery if you had no other choice we lived at my mom's place nine people in four to six square meter is. zenaida mother of two who is
