so 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 go to the attacks were allowed to happen in the first place anger the 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 and lists at 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 drug stocks are in jeopardy muslims claim this disappointment that
5:04 pm
the killer turned out to be white they want this guy to be muslim or how muslim you know. it's for them it's a little bit strange because he's no we didn't 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 that 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. media but the reality is that fifty percent of whom 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. he used growing far right movements while others fear this will only
5:05 pm
fuel resentment against europe's muslims victims are beginning to piece back together their shirts and lawyers but the experts warn 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. start a revolution to force a change in society well 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 up with over the last ten years
5:06 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 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 arrest point
5:07 pm
that's where the investigation would have started from the crowds of protesters have converged on the spanish capital madrid after marching from across the country well they're angry at soaring unemployment at the highest of the euro zone and at the government's failure to tackle the recession. is in the center of the dreaded where demonstrators have set up camp. spain has one of the highest unemployment rates in the eurozone in fact it has the highest employment rates among the youth in the european union and of course this has resulted in thousands upon thousands of young people who cannot find a job in their home country taking matters into their own hands and protesting literally for days and days on end and that's the process time started on the make though may fifteenth of this year and this is why the movement this multi thousand people movement is called fifteen m. movement so this particular time they have pulled out from from several cities in fact more than a hundred cities from all across spain that have walked here by foot
5:08 pm
a lot of the parts of the walk here fight here in order to come here to the very center of the green the so-called plumbers zero intersects prestbury indignation in the cold the margins of indignation at what the government is literally not doing to the situation in the country there's thousands of people i mean the i use you can see they're gathering all around me because for them this is a big deal they're trying to get all the attention that they can because they believe that their government is focusing instead on what the i.m.f. the w t o and the world bank are doing and not paying attention to the people in spain ah they demand more jobs in fact they're saying it's not about the high pensions and it's not so much about the social benefits it's about simply getting a job in the story country they believe that if they take matters into their own hands that they can do something they have actually set up camp right here in the middle of one of those so they have been here for days and they think that if they continue to push their opinion peacefully that they will reach their desired don't
5:09 pm
have to remember that all of this is happening right when right when the situation is in some other group in practice like in the for in portugal or in greece is that anything is basically everything but dire greece has received another pretty loud but a lot of critics are saying that that is not going to help the country in any way a portugal has been downgraded by several agencies to have this. we have been blacklisted for the economic woes and this thing we still want their country to go down the drain so there again like i said before they're calling on the government to stop talking to focus on the matters in the country and actually help the people in the country and not pay attention to what the big european are who think or trying it to pretend as if they're doing that is the media and off people who have surrounded me right here is literally tens of thousands of people from all across the bay and this is their main goal to take matters into their own into their own hands and to help the country if nobody else will help it certainly well the one
5:10 pm
hundred nine billion a year old bailout for greece was agreed after it approved a severe austerity measures sending thousands off the streets in protest and the rescue will also involve lowering interest rates on greek debt and extending the repayment period of financial analysts boxcars or says it will only apply people deeper in trouble. it increases the amount of debt it increases the amount of debt in the eurozone it is increased of the amount of debt in grace so this is a plan cooked up by bankers to repackage risa characterize. debt that's what they do and it crowds out the real economy so if they think that this is going to help the economy grow their way to a position of paying off this debt or paying the interest on the debt that's not going to happen because by giving bankers more dead to control the productive part of the economy you are eliminating that part of the economy's ability to pay off this debt so the banking cancer is just becoming worse in the eurozone and worse in
5:11 pm
greece running out the banks they're not bailing out the workers or the people who are on the ground so to speak they're bailing out european banks they're bailing out wall street banks they're bailing out other banks and so doing they're increasing the debt load so it's making the situation much worse and they're crowding out any ability for the work workers in greece to generate enough income to pay off this debt this is consigning the population to debt servitude. well that was from national analyst max kaiser talking about what the e.u. rescue package is going to mean it for the greek people and still ahead for you in the program funding of the reform as your money here is to several years of euro's to libyan rebels we ask how will the money be used. to begins had to go over control of afghan provinces to local security forces but many question if they're really up to the shop. well this week the phone hacking and

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 cowie shawn who are that's 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
5:14 pm
being at the center of one of these storms a terrifying experience i really don't believe either david or short or 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 but the man was destroyed professionally by news international the journalistic world in london is a very small place and the man was destroyed he was well known but he was drinking
