your life for mosque oh hello and welcome to the. savage murder that took place in broad daylight in southeast london has already caused a backlash hundreds of far right protesters flooded the streets near the scene of the killing and clashed with police they were chanting to muslim slogans and accusing the british authorities of allowing that time that's going to sit in an act of terrorism and believed to have been motivated by a radical islam and british soldier how to death by two assailants armed with meat cleavers dollar london correspondents are five share the details with. community really in a deep sense of shock. to the gruesomeness of this killing the eyewitness accounts described two men hacking to death the victim and standing a video footage emerged of the other tactic place which appeared to show you the
7:02 am
men chanting islamist slogans and saying that they carried out the attack because british soldiers were attacking muslims every day. that you have a. different drummer. from which talk. about you know. certainly a lot of concern now about the ethnic tensions that could be state after this attack last night we see the extremists the english defense league gather here and some clashes with the police say definitely some concerns about these two extreme ends of the scale and this is going to once again stake up that why did debate we have been following this story very closely ourselves after a week indeed in recent weeks met with groups in london that are considered by many to have been radicalized calling reloads to be implemented in the us got to make clear that is in no way connected to the attack that took place but it certainly
7:03 am
gave us a very clear insight into the fact that all these problems so many people now are blaming london for its foreign policies for this attack so what can you say about that well this is stems from the videos that have emerged appeared to show one of the alleged attack is talking to the camera from a possible and you listen to the phrase all the g. used in that we heard him say that this is because british soldiers attack. i for an i in the phrase ology like our land this is the type of language usually associated with violent jihad is now if it is indeed an islamic attack it will be the first al qaeda inspired attack to take place on british sort through the death of a bridge this isn't since the london bombings in two thousand and five so of course a huge amount of concern here and obviously all of the different security agencies
7:04 am
the police are going to be pooling their intelligence at the moment to try to figure out exactly how this is able to happen and whether anything could have indeed been done to prevent it but at that police investigation underway at the moment addressing the british people less than an hour ago u.k. prime minister david cameron called the murder sickening and appalling his tries there's no justification for their time answering the blame lies solely with the man who carried it out but not everyone agrees dr hargate and a man of the oxford islamic congregation says such an attack wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for british military operations abroad. it's not just islamic fundamentalism there's also a linkage between i believe between what tony blair did was illegal war in iraq and subsequent slavish following following of u.s. policy i mean for example there was no muslim terrorism in the united kingdom until blair went illegally into iraq and i think we need to in mid and acknowledge that
7:05 am
fact so i think it's important not just to blame it on islamic fundamentalists in the united kingdom but must look at the causes of this i think for us just to deal with the after effects of the slaughter in religion in london i think it's nonsense i think we need to look at what is causing this yes clearly you are u.k. forces in places like. afghanistan and elsewhere and you blind support for a new case blind support for u.s. policy whether somalia or yemen or syria where valves i think all of that we need to take stock of that we can't just expect that we. blameless brian back from the arms he will also believe such violence could have been predicted ever since the u.k. first embrace to america's military actions abroad. this was a disgusting attack a terrible assault murderous attack one that people are sickened by
7:06 am
throughout the u.k. and all over the world but when we look into the broader context we have to i would say no to particular things one is there is an escalating cycle of violence that is predictable and was predicted the british along with the british meaning the british government not the people. joined george w. bush in the invasion of iraq support the war in afghanistan were principles and demanding the bombing of libya along with the united states and france and nato are arming the same rebels in syria so the british colonial past and its current legacy of intervention in war is undoubtedly a factor the other thing though that we have to think about is will this lead to the targeting of immigrant populations black populations muslim populations for a new round of universal type of demonization or criminalization and that's something we have to also be on the lookout for and be against and of course we

have known this story including pictures videos on live updates from london on our website. the news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images from. the streets of canada. shortly before asians rule the day. smashed windows and cars on fire one of europe's most peaceful capitals stockholm is witnessing its wost outbreak of violence in years hundreds of youths mostly immigrants have ripped through the city's suburbs in four nights so the rest of the binders has shown the country famous for its attractive immigration policies and generous welfare system all these people on of our reports now from stockholm. see
7:08 am
the fourth night of violence here in stockholm wednesday had been relatively quiet we've seen community leaders out on the streets trying to stop young people from rioting from setting fire to cars and other things as you can see promotes going on just behind me once they've gone in for the evening it seems because of the people have started setting for more fires we've seen stone stone it at the place of journalists as well this is all continuing from what we've seen start on sunday here in stocco now it's being claimed this was all started following a police shooting of a sixty nine year old man he was killed by police officers in his apartment apparently holding a machete while he was slain by police that started the first night of violence and continued throughout the week here in stock and i talking to community leaders they say that one of the reasons for this is being down to unemployment here in these
7:09 am
particular areas i'm in the suburb of who speak which is not too far from the center of stock obviously one of the worst hit areas by violence in recent nights. they say let's although sweden's unemployment figures are actually below the e.u. average when you look at youth unemployment we're talking about the under twenty five's nearly a quarter of the swedish population are out of work and if you look at the people who are taking part in the violence that we've seen they are all very very young people in the that's one of the reasons why on wednesday evening it seemed like things were under control when we saw parents. religious leaders out on the streets it seems that once they have gone to bed then the trouble has started again as violence continues to rock the swedish city. sweden has for years been accepting immigrants has failed to integrate and are only that get money for nothing that's the view of swedish journalist in great contrast. the problem is not from the
7:10 am
government or from the swedish people the last twenty years or so we have we have seen so many immigrants coming to sweden bedmate really doesn't like sweden they don't want to integrate they don't want to live in this society with you know working pain taxes and so on the people that come here now they come here because they know that sweden will give them money for nothing they don't have to work they don't have to pay taxes they can just stay here and get a lot of money and that is you know really the problem and the police could do so much they have told the public that they mean to do as little as possible but they could go in there they could use you know water cannons they could do. not letting people out in the streets at night there are so many things they could do within the law but they don't do it. this is also coming up later in the north a don't off to show that the storms of reality from schooling to suicide on

7:13 am
a trick and has more now on this and what else to expect from the speech. we have a major national security speech coming up and we have a word trickling down from the administration through various news outlets that the president is going to announce the resumption of transfers of some guantanamo detainees now these sources say that in the speech we're probably not going to hear details as to when these transfers will start happening but we will presumably hear about the administration's plans to lift the ban on sending detainees to yemen the yemenis are the largest single group of prisoners at guantanamo then you have saudi and afghan nationals there as well as others there one hundred and sixty six detainees now held at guantanamo it is six have been cleared who would be seen quoting fifty six who are from yemen after years of inaction injustice and indifference and after more than three months of starvation the detainees have finally got the president's attention last week the president said he was going to review us to close the prison something that he probably promised to do four years
7:14 am
ago the hunger strike certainly served as a push for these statements but one would argue it said that the detainees had to subject themselves to so much physical suffering to be heard after all this march and by then the hunger strike had already started critics argue that all this time the administration had the tools to release many of these men especially those who've been cleared for release but it seems that the fear is that even those who had nothing done nothing wrong and who were wrongfully captured after all they've been through at guantanamo all the humiliation they've seen the u.s. may have created enemies there so many of these men have fallen victim not just to their wrongful capture but also to u.s. politicians assumptions of what they may or may not do in the future now apart from going tunnel which the administration always pointed out it inherited from the

a wake up call to the people of france to a gesture of a marginalized mun french politicians have clashed in a fierce debate over a shocking suicide and not a dumb cathedral in paris an elderly award winning historian shot himself dead at the one of france's major landmarks the seventy eight year old who have been a fierce opponent of france's decision to allow gay marriage and also strongly condemned a rising islamist influence in the country as i see there were forced from parents . here already we can see the a clash in the words and of the positions of politicians but this is also reflected on the ground when it comes to the ordinary french citizens but the story does not end there when we talk about what happened in not to damn another protest followed after after that a a feminist activist from the theme and group had gone into the church as well into the very same place and staged her own a protest this time against that she was not a mock suicide she has put a gun in her mouth and had a message on her chest which essentially was calling for poland quote the death of

fascism now where we've also seen massive protests to stemming from this those opposing of the bill we've seen them continuing to protest still planned in the future as well it's interesting to point out the social cohesion in europe is very very volatile right now considering the economic situation and even supporters of france while on here in france leftists who had voted for him say that the political elite here are focusing on the wrong issues and therefore at this again the social cohesion is so important and the fact that there are still a substantial number of people who are voicing their opposition going into very extreme measures such as suicide it will be very hard for francois hollande and the ruling government to continue to ignore that voice of the french population. and the north side reflects the overall despair of the french people who are tired of the stars here and unemployment well it seems that sentiment is being shared in a survey of people receiving a double than just two years adjusting the economic downturn is taking

a great hole than previously feared all the details on our website and on. stage will be all technology or proves to be a complete disaster and also the latest multi-million euro spanish submarine is not able to dive beneath the seas due to faults in its construction. it's. a body of an afghan man whose feet husband console has been discovered near a former american special forces base in the country the man who disappeared last
7:19 am
november was later seen in a video being tortured by a mob going to american identified as. hari the chief interpreter for u.s. special forces in the region. is also in charge of the so-called death squads affiliated with the u.s. special forces investigators accuse the das court of torturing and killing at least seventeen people though washington denies any links middle east expert said beg believes it hold to call anyone to account when torture is being used on all sides . even if he no longer works for them i think the question should be raised is what kind of people are they hiring you know if they hired this guy in the first place what kind of checks are kodocha to the sanity of this guy and i don't think that seventeen people are going to go missing because of the work of one person i think that you know maybe the special forces were involved in those disappearances let's look at background here base where people looked up take to bagram tortured and
7:20 am
been taken to going to animal bones and people listed in the background and then were handed over to the pakistanis or anybody else and also for example in the rape we saw those pictures that were released and that showed torture of victims so for the afghans to the afghan government to accuse the americans of torture is a far fetched and it's actually quite conceivable we've also heard from what worked as i've returned from iraq for example or and have said that they were routinely killed people so you know if you look through america's history and the history of the military it's not inconceivable that they would torture and kill people. to arlington national news and briefing are a bomb planted in a week showing down and detonated near a security vehicle has killed at least twelve people including ten security officers more than twenty others were wounded in the explosion no one's have claimed responsibility for the time but it's thought it may have been carried out by local baluch insurgents long before the government itself all.

playing let me give one suggestion to actually help fix the problem there are so many teachers and school administrators across america that i bet many of you know one of them try talking them about the madness of zero tolerance a lot of people do things just because they were told to or they never thought about it before so please dear friends try to get teachers you know to actually think about it i can complain on t.v. all day long but one conversation from a friend or relative really could change many people's minds maybe but that's just my opinion. luckly.
