10:01 am
of day on the white house's drone walls. and you saw in russia and around the world this is a policy with me you think for joining us. it's been revealed that both suspects in the cold blooded murder of a soldier in southeast london were only a raiders of british security services long before that time they allegedly beheaded their victim in full daylight with a machete video footage shows one man describing that time as revenge for british military campaigns and muslim countries he's point is here with the details. well one of the attackers has so far been identified on internet forums and in the twitter sphere as a michael adds a boy larger he's thought to be
10:02 am
a british citizen of nigerian descent now just to clarify his identity hasn't been formally released yet but he and the other suspects are both thought to have converted to a radical form of islam and so far they're not thought to have any links to any large terrorist cells such as al qaida or any terrorist organizations in nigeria these two individuals may have been on the radar of the intelligence services now scotland yard has confirmed that the man killed yesterday was a twenty year old serving british soldier david cameron recently spoke outside downing street saying that the british public must pull together in the face of terrorism and this will only make the public stronger he said that the only way to deal with this sort of terrorist action is to go about your daily lives as you would normally however we do know that security has been heightened especially
10:03 am
around army barracks around london because we do know that this was a soldier that was killed so it seems to have been a targeted attack in at the same time david cameron couldn't say much about the own going police investigation but there have been reports that two houses allegedly belonging to the relatives of one of these suspects of michael adds a bit larger have been raided one in london and one in then can share the police investigation definitely under way and a lot of work still going on and details yet to be released. the fall out of the daylight mad in london has seen hundreds of angry farai protesters coming with police in every crime scene they trying to and to muslim slogans and accuse the government of allowing a terror attack motivated by radical islam the south africa community really in a deep sense of shock. so the grease ignace of this killing the eyewitness accounts
10:04 am
described two men hacking to death the victim and astounding video footage emerged of the other tactic place which appeared to show you the men chanting islam is slogans and saying that they carried out the attack because british soldiers were attacking muslims every day. that. you probably don't care about different from. the far north but. certainly a lot of concern now about the ethnic tensions that could be staked to this attack last night we saw a big sting as the english defense league gather here. clashes with the police say definitely some concerns about these two extreme ends of the scale and this is going to look against like that why did debate we have been following this story very closely ourselves after we've indeed in recent weeks met with groups in london
10:05 am
that are considered by many to have been radicalized calling reloads to be implemented in the us got to be make clear that is in no way connected to the attack that took place but it certainly gave us a very clear insight into the fact that all these problems the videos that have emerged appear 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 whistlings every day i for nine the phrase all the. alike all of this is the type of language usually associated with violent jihad it's now if it is indeed an islamic at that it will be the first al qaeda inspired attack to take place on which is sort of the death of the brits this isn't since the london bombings in two thousand and five and we also got some reaction from the muslim community dr times
10:06 am
i mean none of the oxford islamic congregation says the attack is a gruesome wake up call for the british government to stop and reciting its foreign policy. it's not just islamic fundamentalism there's also a linkage between i believe between what tony blair did with the legal war in iraq and subsequent first lady's policy following of us 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 fact so i think it's important not just to blame it on islamic fundamentalism the united kingdom must look at the causes of this i think in four hours 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 the u.k.'s blind support for us policy whether somalia or yemen or syria or wherever
10:07 am
else i think all of that we need to take stock of that we can't just expect that we . blameless. the motives of the modern band striking similarities to those described by boston bombing suspect knives to discuss the legitimacy of drawing parallels between the two tonks which happened over a month apart on opposite sides of battle and to. hide their arenas so the message is very clear and it's very similar to seems that it's not just the message that's very clear but also we can talk about the underlying motives for the attacks and it does seem like that there are some striking similarities first of all in both cases . by theirs as well as the machete killer they both said that the reason why they committed these heinous acts is because they were trying to it was a retaliation attack on. the soil of the country that they've accused of attacking muslims on their own soil the message is if you attack muslims we will strike back
10:08 am
and it will not be pretty then of course where do they get these ideas from well it does look like there is there high possibility that both in both instances they would be terrorists one to one resource and they're not an online resource published in an english language it is run the report reportedly by the arabic peninsula and the hmong model and some of the articles that you could read on this resource if you are so inclined to do is articles along the lines of morning down tactic how to take out a large number of people how to blow up buildings and of course how to make a bomb in the kitchen of your mom using a pressure cooker which is supposedly what this brothers have actually been inspired by now there is this is not just the only publication that is being run by the al qaeda in the arabic and so there is also reportedly again there is also a so-called life still in fashion magazine for muslim women and suicide bombers know exactly what kind of advice we could be getting from these publications not
10:09 am
quite clear and get you have to remember one thing all of these publications are out there and they are being watched by the authorities essentially a world over. then how come in both cases in the u.s. and in the u.k. the authorities knowing about the existence of such resources and knowing about the interest that the suspects have shown in these resources how come they have not been able to prevent these heinous attacks from happening this is one of the questions that still has to be answered and hopefully we'll get the answers to that in the near future. we are hearing thank you very much indeed for that day to remember lucia curry is here with us in the studio and right now shauna for much and i five agent joins us now live to talk about this similarities between their targets in boston and london hello there annie nice to see you do you have a ceiling of deja vu here. well i have to be i think there is
10:10 am
a bill to see that these sort of random apparently lone act with more common across the way i mean what are you with videos in london today blaming overt before the british government generally thought in the middle east and this causes close relations the people across africa police and and they are right the angry at policies by the u.s. government which. not just. visions of sovereign country but all clear illegal activities such as drawing up a set list to see if we can get by the u.s. presence and. the tax which is american wedding party. in families and briefings so. there is a lot of out there and i think we have a right to rethink the end of the i don't think these sort of i'm attacked the way that an a because they are. unfortunately we're having gross sound problems
10:11 am
here sorry. and that was an emotional informer and my five agent thank you. former british soldier joe blanton who refused to serve a second military tour in afghanistan explained why he would go. to two thousand and six which is when i when we can look at two thousand and six as the real invasion of afghanistan it's almost two separate conflicts but broad to two thousand thousand and six there was there was nothing like the insurgency we see on the scale that we have seen since in fact the presence of foreign troops created the insurgency i mean it's not an ideological argument it's simply quote a logical you can say that after that point and during the time i was there. the insurgency escalated hugely but i was really tragic for this young man a twenty year old man's family it could well be the case that he's just passed out by six writing and never had never been to afghanistan but we'll try to justify it
10:12 am
try to we try to explain i think you have to start with the words of the men involved in there were quite clear they were talking about muslims being killed talking about afghanistan but i think you have to take that into account and look at it seriously and of course have gotten on this story including pictures videos and live updates from london on our website. news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images of the world from the streets of canada. trying for a shot to rule the day i. two police stations and thousands of cars have been set ablaze during a fourth night of rioting in the swedish capital clashes between gibson's police

broke out on sunday in the largely immigrant suburb has baby full funding out across poor neighborhoods the violence comes as a shock to a country with a reputation for social justice and welcoming for a few trees on reports now from stockholm. would be a fortnight 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 than other things you can see promotes going on just behind me once they've gone in for the evening it's because of the people have started setting foot more stone stone it at the police and journalists as well this is all continuing from what we've seen start on sunday here in stockholm now it's being claimed this was all started following a police shooting of a sixteen. these particular areas i'm in the suburb of who speak which is
10:14 am
not too far from the center of stockholm is be one of the worst hit areas by violence in recent nights. the same it 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 seems 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. and swedish journalists in granta carquest says immigrants expect too much from the country's welfare system that the problem is not from the 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
10:15 am
doesn't like sweden they don't want to integrate they don't want to live in the society we you know working in taxes and so on the people that come here now they come here because they know that sweden who gave 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 back east you know really the problem the police could do so much they have told the public that they mean to do as little as possible that they could go in there they could use you know water cannons they could do. not giving people out in the streets at night there are so many things they could do within the law but they don't do it. immigration policies and fronts lead to an even more desperate. form of protest an award winning historian outraged by multiculturalism changes to gay marriage north commits suicide is find a symbolic not a dumb to curry cathedral that's coming up shortly.
