a new bailout but clouds gather around the troubled euro amid a stormy mood in spain also struggling with severe financial burdens. a very warm welcome to you you're watching the weekly on r.t. with me some showing the entire norwegian nation shaken by friday's killing rampages morning in ninety three people massacred in the oslo bombing at a youth camp shooting prime minister stoltenberg has said that the two days since the attacks i felt like an eternity the main suspect anders breivik has told police that he was solely responsible for the atrocities pakistani official has more. 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 but 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 them all to no off 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 he traveled just outside to an oil and where gathered in a police uniform he took the children around him he had a gun because of the blows to the children were expecting that there were lots of policemen with guns around at the time so they weren't surprised by that and then he began to shoot sheltering i'll kill everyone everyone must die now we have new pictures of us women as 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 the police say there still may be more casualties up to ninety seven recorded and there is criticism that it's an hour to an hour and a half off the receiving information of the attack on the island but it's over an hour to get to the scene and to stop the massacre has 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 over all the 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. government integration policies which seem to have backfired more now in this report brave christine it was hit by the local bomb explosion in days and surrounded by broken clothes she

stayed in the north to help the wounded a waitress just standing coughing and then suddenly you can just feel like it was like i come like a fish just waiting for you ok. like last bits in their eyes how can you know that gets smashed that's all of them the skin and everything this show patched up victims whole drinks as a nation which is never suffered at the hands of terrorists before he says norwegians just didn't know how to react. all arms from from course on the buildings so both people told things gaming rolling on this man's wife suffered severe shock when their windows were blown out by the blast but he says they're lucky to be alone his thoughts go out to the many young victims of the second attack i think about the vision to see the most people and. i think.

they are and so this is because the two atrocities produced many acts of heroism but to tell settles on the walls worst mass shooting explicit is also boise pango and the attacks were allowed to happen in the first place bangle truth or dozens of hate messages from suspect anders behring breivik you haven't really been prepared right being extremism previously expressed fury at the government's open door policy on immigration and you blogs and twitter feeds and lists that the shootings may reflect growing national look position to feel immigration policies the political establishment of norway are relatively well off people that live in areas where there are simply no immigrants. there's a poor people in northern the big pushed out of places they used to live livin on 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 muslim oh muslim you know. it's for them it's a little bit strange because he's no egypt so they talk too much about islam and about us it is not about 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. for a. wider than. 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 the new weakens are against multiculturalism as people here try to pick up the pieces and bring meaning to these twin attacks will really thing 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 the victims are beginning to piece spoke together the shattered lawyers but expose warned this might not be the last such a tank as outrage at the perceived failure of a multicultural society grows the new bush will see oslo and we spoke to anderson who knows the suspect personally and thought he was shocked by the news but also it's a place where radicalism has any. i could not imagine i even imagined that he must have been brainwashed or something he never chain across some kind of a religious fanatic or anything i mean i knew that he was religious but it wasn't like trying to hurt you or anything. he just i just didn't do it fairly just very much that i would more describe.

by than even all the way. angry that he would be so to speak to some person but they are a lot. more than that i did not get. through ideological. why conversation on the other hand you just have to look around. and like a lot of people who are very radical religious jews all the way ranging from white christian and then you have. the left baby and obviously managed to find right wing groups so not generally surprised that people cry and scream ideas so that. we like to. which wrong way do you want to.

but who are going to form a question of intent to kill and the. whole world is are not discussing what lies behind the atrocity and you can join the debate on our web site r t v dot com so far the most good idea the majority think that sheer fanaticism is to blame here people saying the tensions stem from multiculturalism and nine percent believe the reason is global terrorism which penetrates everywhere and the rest of them say it's down to the failure of the security forces are going to argue for calm and have your say. well i still have you on the program here on our see we are doing the weekly nato begins i think over control afghan provinces to local army forces but many question if they're up to the job. last year from campaigners against u.s. drone attacks in pakistan they want to fire a lawsuit 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 u.k. c.e.o. rebecca brooks all grilled by british lawmakers for several hours at least the trio said they were deeply sorry for what happened however new allegations of emerged at the news international chairman james murdoch misled and he's saying he was unaware of the true extent of innocent phone it's happening by the company's reporters meanwhile questions are being asked over the death of journalist sean hoare the man credited with revealing the phone hacking scandal i was asking is the lore and it reports it's drawing it's striking parallels with another case who was. keep silent another political scandal erupts another whistleblower diaries so on who was the first former 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 paul was found dead in his house on monday setting up locusts 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 tragedies i'm sure hall and david kelly wallace madness to water and 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 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 who was 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 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 short haul 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 we just would just and clear for 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 short haul with evidence could have been crucial to proving that the news of the world editors supported a culture of listening to private voice mail sport stories because former editor andy colson he later became a media director to the current prime minister has always denied the allegations and was destroyed professionally by abuse international. journalistic world in london is a very small planes on the ground was destroyed he was well known who was drinking tonight was taking drugs he was depressed 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 accepted that their suspicions of hardly been quelled by the fact the police more so 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 standoff has raised questions but so you thought only about this the twitter aussie it's being reported as a horrible and unfortunate coincidence but it's doubtful that if this is happening elsewhere say in russia or in india the british media would be so quick to accept it as a poet's gets a ticket he gets out in the light of the death of david kelly the rabbit out see.

well in the u.k. and the police officers leak information to news of the world reporters. as rock the country james corbet. independent news website says the scandal has seriously undermined people's trust to find out that certain officers have been on the payroll of these organizations and providing details to to the journalists who are involved in 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 and to to form a proper investigation certainly not to the police itself investigating itself that would be ridiculous at this point to. parliamentary inquiry it has to be at least seen to be completely free of ties to the prime minister's office certainly and into any other m.p. using me 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 trusting the public institutions has been necessarily eroded by this this appalling

disgraceful conduct on the part of so many different people in whom the public has invested so much trust. you're watching the weekly here on arts and it's good to have you with us now or among the stories of this week are greece that are host of relief after long talks e.u. leaders 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 and nine billion euros the plan was agreed upon after greece approved on severe austerity measures sending thousands onto the streets and protest the rescue will also involve lowering interest rates on death and extending the repayment package also doubles the time given to the bank portugal and ireland to pay back their own loans meanwhile spain which has the highest unemployment rate in europe in the eurozone rather saw thousands of protesters converge on madrid on saturday camped out in the city center after marching from a rough country financial journalist patrick young says bailing out failing

a condom is no help in the long term. i think it's going to prolong the agony and unfortunately like everything we've been looking for for weeks we wanted 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 a chain different leaders all telling us who's actually in charge of what's going on they give certain parts of the information seems to be contradictory ultimately a lot more money has been put on the greek economy in the hope that he thought that contingent 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 it can has been kicked down the road the injury 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 ultimately we can't keep spending all 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 also rage across the atlantic as iraq obama's meeting with congressional leaders failed to bring about a deal but the u.s. treasury secretary has expressed confidence that talks on raising the debt limit will eventually succeed congress must approve raising its current of fourteen point three trillion dollars debt ceiling before august the second to avoid default the impact of america failing to pay its massive debts would shake the entire world economy would be offered by president obama includes slashing medical and social benefit costs by democrats and republicans are divided over the details of balancing spending cuts and tax hikes and us that's going to drive the great says it's ordinary americans who have to foot the government's bills. george bush when he was president in two thousand and one to two thousand and eight when our why oh

it's that he entered a surplus we can give in germany 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 for all those search for bush's war isn't worth it weapons for the tax cuts now these guys don't want it built somehow but compromise means that these this in dollars will need aid worker eliminating benefits for the working class american people the elderly people on social security you can encourage idiots veterans receiving better veterans benefits didn't increase the debt it was the result of bush's wars tortious tax cuts while spending for these programs now are the beneficiaries basically people got the money don't want to pay it back. more news and comment on the financial woes gripping the world just head

a gradual withdrawal from afghanistan the plan is to recall all foreign combat troops by the end of two thousand and fourteen nato as a new military commander in the country general john allen warns of quote tough times ahead for the war but earlier this month the afghan president's half brother was assassinated assassinated by one of his own bodyguards in a separate incident one of whom had cars eyes top advisers was also gunned down and he will activist brian becker thinks the u.s. led coalition is losing ground in afghanistan where 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 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 cars eyes 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 armed attacks these assassination attempts are designed to create panic and i think in all likelihood they are creating panic within the very hard to 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 drained based on huge budget deficits here a 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 wave i would say the us hasn't gained anything i think the us 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. because the over of control in parts of

afghanistan so buckle security forces some analysts feel the country is in equipped to fend off and so on and so you without. this concern to the afghans to fight it but so far it will open the door to a return. there isn't much like the story. 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 bullets 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 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 be back to tell about it

insurgency regardless of age or ethnicity then in the army we are all brothers and we are all called by one name. right the call of duty is also struck a chord beyond able bodied males a first ever class of women soldiers has just graduated it's. and there's even a mujahideen unit made up of more than veterans in place to be a jihad this is all good news to u.s. military planners have set a two thousand and fourteen gentlemen to hand over security responsibilities to the afghans the afghan army enjoys a much better reputation of the police force and is even 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 in the expense of quality for starters more than eighty percent of troops are literally a big problem with the ability to read maps and numbers can still the difference between life and adding to the was a 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
