6:01 pm
two am in moscow i'm not trying to bring you today's top stories and a look back at the week's news here on r t the entire country of norway has been shaken by friday's killing rampage years and warns the ninety three people massacred in the oslo bombing in youth camp shooting prime minister stoltenberg says the two days since the attacks have been filled with shock anger and tears or he's daniel bushell reports from a stop. so day of mourning there's a memorial service behind me attended by king harald of norway looking very somber the prime minister of norway says that the two days since the tragedy have seemed like an eternity the people of israel tense they're still trying to understand how something like this could have happened and the police say they are still looking
6:02 pm
there is potential there are more victims to be found on the island disaster just outside there is criticism rising for the police but it took them from an hour to an hour and a half to actually find the to find the killer and to stop the massacre so there is criticism dorothy's over this over this tragic incident the suspect has admitted to a crime he said that he wanted to change in society that he wanted to force revolution that it was an atrocious but necessary act to make the norwegian people realize and the society realized that it's going wrong he said it's not a crime a more details are emerging about the suspect himself who posted a rant to fifteen hundred page rants on the internet saying how he went to various countries czech republic in the european union with its lax gun laws is what he said to look for guns and he explained how he was going to carry out the sect so you can maybe understand why this anger among community here that he wasn't before he was allowed to carry out his crimes he expressed violent muslim views he was
6:03 pm
briefly a member of the progress party here in norway which is anti immigrant and the ruling labor party is who he attacked first through a blast in the city center the government headquarters were hit by a car bomb that apparently he went to an oil and just outside where he attacked a group of children he was dressed in a police uniform he had a gun and he was shouting or kill everyone everyone must die we have pictures of her children swimming for survival hiding in the rocks and dramatic pictures of a ten year old. boy being saved so the tragedy of a nation really hear more now in this report brave christine who was. called explosion in the days of broken laws she stayed in the north so to help did you wait this just standing thing and then suddenly you could just read it was
6:04 pm
like i caught a fish just waiting for your puppy lofted out like plastics in their eyes. you know they got smashed glass all over them the skin and everything does show. 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. alarms from the from car some buildings both from the people told things gaming running all this man's wife suffered severe shock when their windows were blown out by the last but he says they're lucky to be alive his thoughts go out to the many young victims of the second attack i think about the vision to see their house and cave and die i think. that parents just cut us to the to atrocities produced many acts of heroism but there's little sensors on the world's worst mass shooting
6:05 pm
experts say there's also boise anger that the attacks were allowed to happen in the first place and goodwill towards ignore thousands of hate messages from suspect anders behring breivik you haven't really been prepared for the right wing extremism brave expressed fury at the government's open door policy on immigration it numerous blogs and twitter feeds and lists at the shootings may reflect growing national opposition to food immigration policies the political establishment of norway are relatively well off people that live in areas where there are simply no immigrants for people ignore the big push for places they used to live in on this also there are drugs that are in jeopardy muslims claim this disappointment that the killer turned out to be boys they want this guy to be muslim or how muslim you know. it is for them it's just a little bit strange because he's no region so they talk too much about this and
6:06 pm
about us. it is not good norwegians are said to be fed up with their brand of what's been built radical liberalism it's the country's multicultural policies that turned the government against his own we no way the far right. why isn't the norwegians are ready to admit and there is a respectful attitude towards that kind of. media but the reality is that fifty percent of whom generals are against multiculturalism is people who try to pick up the pieces and bring meaning to this twitter thing you know relations between communities some expect the crackdown by police on the growing for right movements all of the spirit is slowly fueled resentment against europe's muslims victims are beginning to piece spoke together the shots of lawyers
6:07 pm
but the experts warn this might not be the last such a time as the perceived failure of a multicultural society grows the team was looking. for more analysis on this tragedy and we go live to chicago where margaret from d.c.m. partner joins us live thanks for joining us here on our team now anders behring breivik claims it was a quote necessary attack on society and immigration policy do you think we're going to see more of these right wing attacks in the future yeah i absolutely think we will see in the next ten years i think we're really highlighting if you're changing and you're changing while it's been relatively economically stable influx integrated so you know if you're across the border in norway in particular pretty you know d.c. in two thousand to two thousand and ten what you're seeing now is with a decrease in living standards you know a lot more confusion particularly in the lower classes about job security you're going to see a lot more ok i'm going to play money immigrants maybe you're going to be you know
6:08 pm
pretty strong extremism. both ends of the spectrum a big you're going to see a lot more islamic extremism and i think you're going to see a lot more great breeding extremism particularly in the sunni in countries and speaking of muslims what effect do you think the growth of the muslim populations across europe will change the makeup of political makeup of these countries and you think that may lead to social upheaval well you know looking at specifically and a little more broadly in the scandinavian areas they think what you're going to be is a strong weenie you know right word because typically it's the right word politically interest individually in almost any given type of stress it's not united states and i don't think europe is going to be any different you know people are a lot more planes that you know different takes the people who don't look like you know week he's going to school when times are good people tend to be a lot more open minded unfortunately the next ten years i think economically runs
6:09 pm
the very heart of europe you know the world at least by the particular of the euro and i think you're going to see a lot more people voting right where it is used in the last ten years now despite the attacker being norwegian the country has tightened its border controls do you think about there is any signal or sign of a willingness to pile blame on immigrants absolutely i think that the first most people go in times that i stress will stress and. i think this did you know if you look at if you can really particularly like us and europe rodway broadly i think what this did is it really highlight it in a very i don't want to call it a problem i want to call it you know integrated reality huge influx of immigrants coming into norway and europe you know moved off in the cause of most of your regions probably didn't do that was twenty five percent who were friday they knew a lot more it was now i think you're going to be you know people think book gosh
6:10 pm
this guy was crazy but we have another pretty serious. problems you know with actually and i think you know i think even a lot about you know people tend to be more right wing and right groups definitely clearly don't shoot children but he was you trying to get one and highlighting the politics here and you think there will be a political impact within norway following these attacks do you think that centrist or left wing parties may take a small step to the right in the light of us absolutely they have to look the prime minister or leave the labor party generally he did a great job you know comforting the nation those twenty four hours were hacked and they were you know terrifying were my kids going to be ok did a great job of comforting comforting the nation here's the issue we people hearing were great were believe are pretty good have to do with norway is you know the extent concerns of people who are nervous about immigrant population you know whole
6:11 pm
lot of the more extreme groups you know these two extreme views if that makes that and adopt them into their own platform and facebook you know average joe q both or we understand your concerns about this issue but we think norway have a great interaction here is why so instead of managing and you know governing your theory they have to adopt some of those you know more sort of jingoistic policies but also presents you know a more positive view of norway or now generally in europe there seems to be an increasing tide of leaders like merkel and david cameron coming out against the concept of multiculturalism but what's the alternative to multiculturalism i actually agree with that and i think multiculturalism is dead but i don't think that means that european countries are going to go back to looking like the european countries of the twentieth century i think what is actually going to do is you know much like the internet are. and i include every nation in that is going to be called
6:12 pm
a global society so when you say multiculturalism do you think you know this patchwork quilt. you know it's like you. people actually think you know there is a point here in. d.c. and i believe thoughts and plot that well i'm not going to europe is. really around the world so you know they have been a freak people are interpreting i think the world becoming more global and yet less . and finally one more question i'd like to sneak in here what do you think the muslim community because there is a sizable like you said twenty five percent immigrants when you think the muslim community of oslo what do you think their next best move on their side will be in order to help bring the nation to a healing place well obviously you know much like you saw the united states post you know in time are allowed and the interest you actually take it as a percentage of population the taxes were way on friday or as a percentage twice as bad as the one in the united states so this is certainly
6:13 pm
a large loan to the country i think would be nice if you like in mind a lot of moderate your. temper a lot and is the need to issue statements they need to you know critical being on this look we are acting against terrorism as you are and well he you know was trying to see this happen in trying to make us seem like outsiders we are one against terror really are one against our or here and everybody. we want to be your neighbor mean want to you know during your groups we're all in the region today that you know i think really the first step in helping fuel the country don't you know i don't mean i just leave it there a tragedy to you all right margaret programming from a.b.c. and partners in chicago thanks very much for your time think the. crowds of protesters have converged on the spanish capital madrid after marching from across the country they're angry at the soaring unemployment and the higher the highest in
6:14 pm
the eurozone and that the government's failure to tackle the country's recession parties are always in the center of the capital where demonstrators have set up camp. spain has one of the highest unemployment rates in the eurozone in fact it has the highest unemployment 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 on may fifteenth of this year and this is why the movement has multi thousand people who've been despoiled fifteen m. movement so this particular time the house without problems from several cities in fact one hundred cities from all across the aisle was here by foot a lot of them about the walk here in order to come here there instead of the three so-called former zero french indignation that hold the margins of indignation at
6:15 pm
what the government is literally not doing to cause the situation in the country there's thousands of people i mean there you see 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 o and the world bank are doing and not paying attention to the people in spain 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 fairy 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 opinions peacefully they will reach their desired don't remember that all the stopping right when but right when the situation is in some other group in countries like in the neighboring portugal or in greece is anything is basically everything but dire greece has received another bailout but
6:16 pm
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. recently has been blacklisted for the economic woes and the spanish don't want their country to go down the drain there again like i said before they're calling on the government to stop flocking to focus on the matters in the country and to actually help the people in the country and not pay attention to what the big european big heads are hoping or trying it to pretend as if they are doing and that is they began off people who have surrounded me right here i 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. one hundred nine billion euro bellowed for greece was agreed after it was approved after it approved austerity severe austerity measures sending thousands back to the streets to protest their rescue will also involve lowering interest rates on greek
6:17 pm
debt and the extending the of the repayment period i mentioned violence next keyser though things have only plunged people deeper into trouble. it increases the amount of debt it increases the amount of debt in the eurozone it is crease of the amount of 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 greece they're playing out the banks they're not bailing out the workers or the people who are on the ground so to speak at bailing out european banks they're
6:18 pm
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 service is. well as max kaiser they're talking about what the e.u. rescue mean for the greek people will stay with us here on r t still ahead this hour funding the revolt as germany prepares to send millions of euros to libyan rebels how well do you stand plus. nato starts handing over control of afghan provinces to local security forces but many question if they're up to the job. this week the phone hacking and police bribery scandal was taken to the british parliament rupert murdoch and his son james and former u.k. c.e.o. rebecca brooks were all grilled by british lawmakers for several hours trios said
6:19 pm
that they were deeply sorry for what happened but new allegations have emerged that news international chairman james murdoch misled m.p.'s by saying he was unaware of the true extent of illicit phone tapping by his company's reporters murdoch's could now face legal challenges in the u.s. over claims the voice mails of nine eleven victims were also targeted meanwhile as great britain's hacking scandal appears to be spreading beyond the murdoch empire with claims the sunday mirror tabloid also bugged celebrities voicemail messages parties got h.p. on reports that critics believe the issue was just the tip of the iceberg and the society that may no longer value individual prizes. as the scandal over phone hacking by the murdoch media empire rages on the public and political theory has mainly focused on ruthless tabloids out of control prepared to invade people's private lives and even the dad to get the story but some say in this day and age the whole concept of privacy is falling apart and in the u.s.
6:20 pm
more rapidly than elsewhere every time you catch on your cell or click on google or use your meal service everybody's sort of just clicks through that you agree to our terms and conditions for all those terms and conditions are very very heavily weighted against you and your privacy interests and we see breaches of privacy happening in regimes all across america all across the world really in every sector surveillance is rampant but really this is all a microcosm of the survey we're all which is the state there's little americans can do with a say having sweeping access to their private information access that followed the nine eleven terrorist attacks under a new law known as the patriot act asana law his privacy was taken away from him in two thousand and two when he was detained by the f.b.i. for absolutely no reason he says and scrutinized for months without charge he's response for nine years he has voluntarily documented nearly every waking hour of
6:21 pm
his life on the web he has subsequently even turned it into a form of art see all the toilets that i've used so you know that over here for example you know that on sunday november twenty fourth two thousand and seven i've used this toilet i went grocery shopping at safeway over there and there were seventy they got gas over here he posts copies of every debit card transaction so you can see what he bought where and when a g.p.s. device in his pocket reports his real time physical location on a map and this is the shot he took on his way to our studio which was immediately out loaded on his website as. says his extraordinary abandonment of his own privacy same sperm the ignorance of the authorities but in the here they decided well that looks a little different so he must be arab and if he's arab then he must have explosives everyone knows that that's the logic we're operating we we realize how ridiculous that logic sounds but when your country when your own country takes that on as the
6:22 pm
basis for national policy. ignorance is the basis of national policy is a pretty scary situation and that's how i got caught up for haasan privacy has become a rally of the past and he says he's not surprised they journalists or anyone else really would use the same surveillance tactics as the state in that sense it might be of no surprise that the chief architect of the p. tryna act the lawyer who put it together happens to be one of murdoch's hand-picked used for board directors you didn't serve as assistant attorney general in the bush administration and was described by some as the curve a year of the most sweeping curtailment of freedom in the u.s. system across the era at a time when corporations and the government can easily hack into people's private life it doesn't come as a surprise when for example social networks give your personal information at companies or when other industries leave on breaching the privacy in the u.s.
6:23 pm
it's so widespread and people have gotten so used to it that rupert murdoch seems to be perfect part of the system rather than some special bill and with corporation has been undertaking some unique all unlawful practices because here in america they're not so unique i'm going to check our reporting from washington r.t. . germany says it will lend libya's rebels one hundred million euros for civilian and humanitarian purposes rolin oppose the western military intervention in the country but promised to help out colonel gadhafi through peaceful measures kristoff who are still a government consultant in germany says there's no guarantees the funds will be used for peaceful and. 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 uranium weapons that of course is
6:24 pm
a group of countries not caring for the civilian population they see differently another point here i see that the important town of brega which is hotly debated the rebels and the government as who owns this power now might be a question with someone else 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 that money i doubt what is the official language of the german government emergency services have recovered more bodies from the russian pleasure boat that sank in the boulder river two weeks ago killing one hundred twenty people the red cruiser was lifted from the bottom and towed to shallow waters the task is now to drain the hole so investigators can examine the vessel in detail to figure out the cause of the tragedy the search continues for
6:25 pm
two others whose fate remains unknown it's believed their bodies could still be trapped somewhere inside the area went down within minutes on july tenth drowning more than half of its two hundred passengers the boat's owner is under investigation into or have already been charged with violating safety measures. going out to some other stories making headlines across the globe a car bomb has killed eight soldiers in yemen's coastal city of aden but last happened 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's been hit by months of anti-government protests including clashes between security forces and armed group. those of celebrities and friends paid tribute to british soldiers as even amy winehouse who was found dead in her london flat saturday police say her cause of death remains under investigation twenty seven year old star won a myriad of awards including five grammys for her music it has been held as one of

the most talented singers of her age but her success was often overshadowed by a well documented battle with drugs and alcohol the subject of her hit song rehab last month she cancelled the european tour after being booed off stage during a performance in serbia. 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 taliban activity as nato starts a gradual withdrawal from afghanistan the plan is to recall all foreign combat troops by the end of two thousand and fourteen and nato's new military commander in the country general john allen warns of tough times ahead for the war effort earlier this month the afghan president's half brother was assassinated by one of his own guards in a separate incident one of how many cars top advisers was also gunned down u.s. anti-war activist brian becker thinks the coalition may be losing ground in afghanistan or the number of casualties continues to rise. they can't win by
6:27 pm
staying in fact their presence is becoming the main catalyst for the armed insurgency not only the telegram 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 as 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 and 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 ground steadily at spending one hundred twenty billion dollars a year that's an increasing amount from the treasury but it's already drained based on huge budget deficits here the number of casualties on the afghan and american
6:28 pm
side is is is increasing i think creasing 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 when 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 you're back with a recap of the week's top stories in just a few moments stay with us here are. the .
