there are some lists are accustomed to atrocities produced many acts of heroism but the dust settles on the world's worst mass shooting experts say there's also anger that the attacks were allowed to happen in the first place bangle truth 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 twitter feeds. the shootings may reflect growing national opposition to fully immigration policies the political establishment or more they are relative to the battle of people that live in areas where there are simply no immigrants so that was a poor people in northern being pushed out of places they used to live live in and it's also their drops but are in jeopardy muslims claim this disappointment that
3:04 pm
the killer turned out to be wants they want this guy to be a muslim or how muslim you know. it is for them it's a little bit strange because he's know we didn't so they talk too much about it 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 than. ready to admit and there's a polite and respectful attitude towards that kind of thing and the 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 full right movement 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 a time as outrage at the perceived failure of a multicultural society grows the new bush will see oslo. anderson brave except he needed to start a revolution to force a change in society investigative journalist tony gosling believes there's a new brand of neo nazi terrorism that authorities all over the world should be watching closely. anders breivik thought he was some kind of teutonic knight from medieval times because he's echoing the kind of crusader attitude that it's a very strange version of christianity that he. is he says he's a christian i don't think he is maybe the same kind of strange version of christianity that bush and blair have been coming out with over the last ten years
3:06 pm
or so so i think that this is actually the tip of an iceberg is actually quite a lot of this neo nazi activity out there and now i think the antiterrorist or thought is right across the world we're going to have to take this brand of terrorism much more seriously and particularly worrying is that he was a freemason and as declared that he was a freemason i would imagine that the norwegian police are now going to be talking to each other all the other members of any masonic lodges that he was in because this seems to be the place where this kind of christian rather nasty racist ideology was cooked up i would also add that it was interesting that the police said they never come across him before the norwegian police but i wonder very much i wonder if the secret service in norway has been watching him because it was very strange that when he was first arrested on friday the police actually called out his name to him now it was very i would be amazed if they would have actually known as they first approached him what his name was i would have thought that from the
3:07 pm
arrest point that's where the investigation would have started from or the whole world is now discussing what lies behind this atrocity in norway and you can join the debate on our website r.t. dark heart now where so far the majority think sheer fanaticism is to blame fewer people say the tension stems from multiculturalism now eight percent believe the reason is the global terrorism which penetrates everywhere and the rest say it's down to the failure of security forces a log on to r.t. dot com and have your say on the matter. and still ahead for you in the program marching in a protest well they call themselves indignant once they've taken to the streets of madrid tired of what they say is their government's inaction against recession and unemployed. nato begins had to go over control of afghan provinces to local security forces but many question if they're really up to the job.

now this week the phone hacking and police bribery scandal was taken to the british parliament rupert murdoch his son james and a former u.k. c.e.o. overbeck of books were all grilled by british lawmakers for several hours the trio said they were deeply sorry for what happened however new allegations have emerged that the news international chairman james murdoch misled m.p.'s by saying he was unaware of the true extent of illicit phone tapping rice company's reporters meanwhile questions are being asked over the death of journalist sean hoare the man accredited with revealing the phone hacking scandal and authorities lore and with reports it's drawing a striking parallels with another whistleblower. another political scandal erupts a note the whistleblower dali's sure who 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 bloke a spear into a frenzy of comparisons with the case of dr david kelly why isn't this shown here 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 this what i'm thinking something's not trying to talk to 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 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
3:10 pm
being at the center of one of these storms a terrifying experience i really don't believe either david or 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 would just would just amplify the story i think it simply i think both were under enormous pressure from their roles as whistleblowers and and found it difficult to cope with that pressure short haul 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 cause 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. journalistic world in london is a very small amount as this story is well known but he was drinking tonight was
3:11 pm
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 accepted that their suspicions of hardly been quelled by the fact the police more to report all of the evidence has been classified for seventy years is 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 twits are aussie it's being reported as a horrible and unfortunate coincidence but it's doubtful that 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.
3:12 pm
well germany says it will lead to libya's rebels one hundred million euros for quote civilian and humanitarian purposes berlin oppose the western military intervention in the country but promised to help colonel gadhafi through peaceful means let's not talk to chris of course the government consultant in germany and he joins us live from berlin thank you very much for being on the program the scene thing so this money is supposed to be used for a peaceful purposes humanitarian purposes but is there any thing that berlin can actually do to stop it from being spent on arms and after all that's what the opposition says it wants most. you see it is really a big question of what this money is being used for first of all who controls that then next has nato ever cared for the civilian population in libya i don't think so . you know a group of countries bombing libya and using you renia weapons that of course is
3:13 pm
a group of countries not caring for the civilian population i see definitely another point here i see that the important part of town of brega which is hotly debated among the rebels and the government as who owns this town now might be a question where some of this money might be used in fact to buy the tribes to get the town into the hands of the rebels i think that's the question here quite importantly right now to use the money i doubt what this official language of the german government well yeah there are mixed messages coming from berlin as it had over this whole libyan affair first it didn't back the no fly zone resolution and then it said it would give arms to natives efforts and now we're hearing money is heading to the rebels so what just what is going on what is the goal of the german government here. you see the problem was
3:14 pm
when our foreign minister made the decision to not vote with not this time in the security council he was told by all the officials including our secret services that libya is a dirty game and of course you know what what could he do then he thought i could not be part of that game because i don't want to be part of another do it again we did that already in afghanistan we abstained in iraq and now we have this live in case on hand and meanwhile we did two other countries do in kosovo so where the hell this is going to and he said we're not into it but abstaining to be neutral in this case of course was not enough because nato has you through the security resolution as a free hand to do just anything they want in effect they are fighting on the side of the rebels they're fighting the libyan government and that is something that how to say cannot rest the whole world in peace because nobody knows when nato will
3:15 pm
decide to you know protect some civil populations and kill the government whether we like it or not the situation here ok mr maher so now aside from the money that the german government is giving the libyan rebels have also recently gained access to colonel gadhafi is frozen assets in the u.s. and that's after washington of course gave them full diplomatic recognition do you think now that this will break the stalemate that having so much funding will actually swing the balance in this civil war. of course the question that more than twenty billion dollars in three sets and i think is it was also a known behind the scenes you know that this money is going to be used to. help the rebels but of course that is in a way totally illegal you can't just take money away from from governments and give it to rebels if this is the future policy that would be
3:16 pm
a very tough situation on this globe just a bit more push on the germans germany's position here nato has called on its members for more active involvement the libyan campaign germany of course will has not participated in the military efforts so far but it did say it wants nato as mission to be successful do you think we will see early and actually joining the campaign one day. well let's put it this way if the pressure by nato by washington on germany prevails and continues and grows stronger then we might see a lot of things which many people may regret including russia and china but that is not sure so far the government german government stays somehow within the lines it has taken but of course with in this band with of possible decisions it is now siding very closely with washington and as an arab journalist pointed out to me germany wants
3:17 pm
a piece of the cake to be to be clear germany wants to maintain its fifteen percent of the libyan oil as a percentage of the total oil imports of germany ok thank you very much for your contribution your insight there christophe warsaw a government consultant in germany thank you. well if you've missed anything recovery on air just head to our website or to dot com where there's always more to be found and here's a taste of what's online right now cover a bohemian mystery find out why every july since the eight hundred eighty s. california have been filled with some of the most wealthy and powerful men in the world. at russia's rush to stock up on painkillers as the government prepares to make pills containing code available by prescription only to find out why the move has caused controversy at r.t. dot com. the crowds of protesters have converged on the spanish capital madrid after marching from across the country well they're angry at the soaring unemployment to the highest of the
3:18 pm
euro zone and at the government's failure to tackle the recession well for more now let's cross a lot of our correspondent you can never be sure who's in the center of madrid where the demonstrations demonstrators rather have actually said count so you know what is going on there spanish discontent has been brewing for a while now hasn't it. absolutely in fact a lot of people in the spanish media and other protesters themselves are referring to this is the spanish revolution you have to keep in mind the fact that spain has one of the highest unemployment rates in the eurozone in fact its youth unemployment is the highest in the european union it's more than forty percent so almost every other young person in the country cannot get a job but it's talking not that they're not trying it's just it's just impossible for them to do it so this entire movement which is called the fifteen m. movement started on may fifteenth of this month and since then thousands upon
3:19 pm
thousands of young spanish people have been gathering all across the country in order to call in the government and tell them express the protests and i'll call on them to focus more on the domestic issues they want more jobs their. trying to find out they're trying to get answers from the government as to why can they not get jobs or why is the country in their opinion going down the drain and in fact as you have mentioned earlier a lot of them have set up camp here in fact this particular protest which is going on right now there are thousands of people just below me unfortunately you cannot see them right now but they're very loud there's there's literally thousands of them they have walked a lot of them have literally walked by foot from more than one hundred sixty cities in spain to converge here and work with them so in the middle of madrid in order to call on the government to bring more jobs to stop listening to the world bank to the i.m.f. to the w t o because there they are calling on the government to bring those jobs
3:20 pm
into focus on the domestic issues a lot of them have been camping out here for several days and their slogan right now is somewhat reminiscent to something that we've all heard several years before it's yes we can predict as they believe that they these young people of spain can actually make a difference by showing their protests. as this is going on in spain i mean this massive protests you can see there behind you with all their grievances the public airing their grievances on the other hand a lifeline has been thrown to greece who similarly went through a protest of their own just recently leaders they finally agreed to hand out a second package a rescue package to greece the many analysts say this is not going to be enough is that what you're hearing there as well. well our you have to understand that their hundred nine billion dollars package which has been approved for greece a lot of analysts are saying that it's not going to help the country because the one thing you have to remember is that greece will have to pay this out at some
3:21 pm
point or another and how is the country going to do that when you have what some analysts are saying is the issue of the rating agencies which are creating conic by saying that several countries like greece like spain like portugal we have to. downgraded by rating agencies they say that these very rating agencies are creating which is also keeping the countries from blossoming a lot of people are saying that this what has been done for greece is not enough that something else has to be done and of course countries like germany and france other banks which are which are in germany and france are just scrambling to kind of keep figural float but a lot of the critics this latest bailout are saying that the euro probably will not hold out for much longer and those are the very same fears which are expressed by the thousands of people yelling and shouting and protests below me in the center of madrid right now and i thank you very much for that report our correspondent in a delusional reporting live there from the spanish capital of madrid. the emergency
