continues there are fears last year's massacre in norway might be one day repeated in other european countries a u.k. anti-fascist group has warned his anti islam rhetoric could be inspiring extremists followers worldwide and more must be done to stop it and in britain which has a number of towns considered hotbeds of the far right the trend is especially worrisome arches over bennett reports. this is also considered the breeding ground of far right to extremism in the u.k. it's on to a large muslim community but also to the english defense league who are now considered one of the most dangerous groups of the global county jihad movement it started as a gang of football hooligans and in just three years its ranks have swelled to more than seventy thousand all united against what they call the threat to the same ideology inspired no we. and mass murderer anders behring breivik and now it's on

for two years is for separately on the so you must. you must view the deal as we do the radical islamic groups the problem is that they inspire people they organize people they fill people's heads there are people in the deal who actually do think they are some kind of religious crusaders often extremist groups can be the trigger for somebody to do something something quite unpleasant quite nasty britain is considered a hotbed of far right extremism with sixteen anti islamic groups operating here the report classes the british freedom party is one of them its chairman paul weston it was another cited by brick highlighting a blog that claimed the west is fighting a european civil war against islam but i'm not saying go out and commit violence and the most astonishing thing about this for me is it is the whole breivik thing has been picked up picked up on by the media with no documentary evidence of any
6:04 am
so-called right wing movements say their issues whereas when the islam it is clear that you'll blog posts as an inspiration to him amongst others several of these are these are simply that they may well be an inspiration to but we cannot do you know we cannot say nothing simply because there might be some lone psychopath somewhere in europe groups like the british freedom party and the e.t.l. still aren't considered far right all extremists by the or thora sees the two recently joined forces and planned to run in the next round of local elections the worry for anti fascist campaigners is that they could attract support on the bennetts r.t. luton. and from the rise of far right ideology in europe to left wing views there and in the u.s. that and much more in the second edition of julian assange interview shell watch the program that's caused a media storm on both sides of the atlantic you can log on to start r.t.

violence between the country's shia muslim majority population and the sunni minority in government threatens not just to do. but since shock waves through other nations that are heavily invested in the islands of stability such as the united states the dilemma of the u.s. faces and bahrain is a tough one on the one hand washington feels at least a blog to say something about the continuing standoff between the protesters and the police on the other hand behind his home to the u.s. fifth fleet the largest american base in the oil rich gulf region just a stone's throw away from iran and to lose an ally as valuable as bahrain would be disastrous for washington. western politicians wasted no time in jumping on the arab spring bandwagon with fiery condemnations of the regimes in countries like egypt libya and syria yet suspiciously flies below their rhetorical
6:07 am
radar the bahraini regime is playing a very dangerous game now of course has a majority against its own government and seeing a very sort of the end of days many people are expecting now of course there are huge arms deals with american british dealers that the bahraini government will be able to use against the protesters the american government lost no time to criticize russia's interest in syria but to explain why it renewed its fifty three million dollars arms sales contract with bahrain even the year after a bloody crackdown on protesters on the island one cannot deny the fact that this is very important for the interests of the united states that the king remains in power and that there is full of the. by the king and his people to crush any.

democratic calls for example for the removal of the american bases from this part of the world as any country any sovereign country would wouldn't want them bases on its territory when it's not necessary but want to have a foreign base in its shores for years the countries rulers feared iran which laid claim to the islands several times the last being in one nine hundred seventy one having more than four thousand american military personnel on the ground may be viewed by the bahraini government as insurance. but for some it's out of date and running out of time. the irony about the persian gulf dictatorships is they don't really need to be submissive at all they do have energy power and the facts of these persian gulf dictators continue to be so. to washington and even london displays what kind of colonial mentality must surround these dictatorships families
6:09 am
being left alone to sort out a solution isn't easy but. they at least acknowledge transgression against their own civilians in the ugly scenes between protesters and police was that a human rights violations and behave yes but they were human rights violations and there are human rights violations in. oh to be saying is it allowed no it's not a. choice we are looking at today and we are in whichever direction both three may be heading the worst seems to be the other way no matter how high the cost for these islands people. go r.t. crean. still had on the program following the money we report on how soaring unemployment forces on americans to seek jobs and i've found growing market from home in india. also coming up and support next hour conquering of the elements we follow

6:11 am
from populated areas and according to the un envoy they have satellite images which show that the tanks are still on the ground and that is seen as a violation of the six point plan but in order to get a full picture of what's going on satellite images are not enough and kofi annan stressed the need to increase the number of international observers on the ground to one hundred by the end of the month just earlier the u.n. security council approved the deployment of three hundred un observers the forefront group if you want observers is already in syria and everyone agrees that the u.n. needs more eyes on the ground to make sure that all sides of the conflict are doing their part because the plan addresses government forces as well as opposition forces and you do have people there who don't like the plan the opposition has not come up with a common response or whether they're going to engage in a dialogue with the government to work out a political solution to the crisis and that dialogue is also part of the plan as far as the u.s. washington says it supports the plan but at the same time they kind of expect it's

the end of last year that they've got to be fifteen billion in cuts fifteen billion cuts in government spending and this basically will destroy the whole and it will destroy the economy it will destroy the good life that the dutch people have been used to over the years and i'm surprised that the dutch saying it's enough if all and were to leave the euro and that's not such a far fetched idea now that it is it might have appeared a few years ago but it really is game over because hollande has been a strong ally of germany in the kind of drive towards the euro as he could be in always flow and basically the dutch people are going to be the important players in here because they are being asked to keep this euro going to make enormous sacrifices and why should they this is what people are saying and so i think it is the and we're also bringing a full coverage of the eurozone financial crisis online r t v dot com and there's plenty more there too including top floor or terrorist find out why u.s.
