used to russia and iran the while this is all see with me. and welcome to the program 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 they allegedly beheaded their victim in broad daylight with a machete machete i should say video footage shows one man describing that time as revenge for british military campaigns in muslim countries all his point is here with the details. well one of the attackers has been identified on internet forums and in the twitter sphere as a michael ball larger he's thought to be a british citizen of nigerian descent now just to clarify this i don't see how he

released him but he and the other suspect a boat or so. 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 not scotland yard has confirmed that the man who killed yesterday was a twenty year old 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's judged 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 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 and at the same time david cameron couldn't say much about the on going police investigation but there have been reports that two houses allegedly belonging to the relatives of one of these suspects of michael odds of a larger have been raided one in london and one in in can share the police investigation definitely underway and a lot of work still going on and details yet to be released. the format of the day life the london has seen hundreds of angry far right wing with police near the crime scene they trotted on to muslim slogans under the government of allowing a terror talk motivated by radical islam. community really in a deep sense of shock. so the greasing ness of this killing the eyewitness accounts described two men hacking to death. and astounding video footage emerged of the 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 going to talk. about. that. certainly a lot of concern now about the ethnic tensions that could be state after this attack last night we saw a big sting was 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 to date we have been following this story very closely ourselves after we've indeed in recent weeks met with groups in london that are considered by many to have been radicalized calling for shari'a law to be implemented in the cain has 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 that these problems the video. 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 whistlings every day i for nine the phraseology. like 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 which is sort of the death of it which this isn't since the london bombings in two thousand and five and we also have some reaction from london's muslim community and. of the oxford islamic congregation says that is a gruesome wake up call for the british government to stop and rethink its foreign

. it's not just islamic fundamentalism it's also a linkage between i believe between what tony blair did with the legal war in iraq and subsequent slavish policy 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 fact so i think it's important not just to blame it on islamic fundamentalists in the united kingdom but a must look at the causes of this i think in 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 the u.k. blind support for u.s. policy whether somalia or yemen or syria or wherever else i think all of that we need to take stock of that we can't just expect that we. blameless. the alleged

motive of the bear striking similarities to those described by boston bombing suspect knives and to discuss the legitimacy of drawing parallels between the two attacks which happened a month apart on opposite sides of the atlantic is. why they re necessarily the way well what we have to understand one thing that these two attacks actually do bear some very interesting similarities of course first of all these are both heinous attacks committed against innocent people but the goal that seems at least what the perpetrators the criminals have presented to us is that they are trying to make a point and the point is they are this is a sort of retribution for what they call crimes against muslims committed by the u.k. or the u.s. government abroad now if you look at their messages they're very very similar the question is where did they come up with the idea for such for such events to unfold what gave them the idea well it looks like you didn't have to go far to find these

things just as far as the internet in fact there are several web sites out there the primary one of them being produced by the al qaida in the arabian peninsula and if you look on that web site you can pretty much find anything you need if you want to be a terrorist for example how to make a bomb using a pressure cooker you don't have to go any further than the kitchen how to take out a lot of people with just one blow you can find that information there as well also how to blow up buildings this is a literally the names of the articles that are being published online and they're readily available for anybody who should be inclined to be looking at them of course the question arises how come the people we know that those who follow these websites are usually being watched closely by special agents world over still there is still the question of how come in both cases the alleged terrorists did not fall under the radar and their acts were not prevented before they manage to kill people

of course that is one of the main questions that remains on answered at this point . i thank you very much indeed arena for that update thank you. my five agent joins me now live to talk about the similarities between that's not in boston and london so the rhetoric sounds pretty much the same do you have a feeling of. a somewhat yes and i don't think this problem is going to go away i think that the reported statement by one of the attackers in london about an eye for an eye and everything is definitely going to be motivation and these sort of individualistic lone wolf style attacks which don't require great planning don't require some thought specialist equipment or anything will become perhaps one of the main ways that people can make protests and it's a horrific attack there is no doubt about it and my heart goes out to the family of the victim but what we're looking at is also an angry voice yelling out from north

africa from the middle east from central asia from all the people have been big lies by the interventionist policies of the us of the u.k. of nato or france i mean not just iraq and afghanistan but libya in mali instance in yemen and of course what we're looking at is a whole country that's been decimated now by the cia kill lists which are a presidential you proved in the u.s. every week and also drone strikes which are not targeted they take out a whole villages communities and wedding parties even so of course there's going to be anger and we were appalled by it suspects were part of an earlier police investigation why was it still impossible to prevent their time. it's very difficult because if you're investigating certain key people when you're on the inside then you'll be doing invest in-depth investigation into those key targets that you think might be most dangerous you will be aware of the networks around and

you'll be picking up the communications and the social networks and everything but unless someone seems to be indicating that they might be a bit about to tip over into violence you might not see that as key people to focus on and to deploy what are quite limited resources quite often so it's very easy for people to slip under the radar that way i should imagine there's probably also a bit of a scrabble with m i five at the moment in the u.k. the u.k. domestic security service to ensure that they didn't miss any key. information that could have prevented this because then of course they will be blamed for it and also talking about foreign britain's foreign policy will the incident make britain reconsider what it does abroad. one would hope so but i think it's unlikely i suppose it was heartening today to see that the british government turned the british prime minister come out and say he's not going to make any knee jerk security reactions so he's not going to rush ahead with some sort of data mining or endemic surveillance type measures however i think it's slightly disingenuous that the british government is not recognizing the very harmful impact that its prone

policy is having across the middle east and central asia i mean particularly one of the things that is of concern to the u.k. security services is the potentiality of british people young men going over to fight in syria be radicalized and try and rebel against the assad regime then of course they can come back to the u.k. and import those skills they've learnt so this is seen as a threat by the security services on one side on the other of course we're looking at the side where my six and the british government is now pushing to arm and help those rebels still further so they're sort of producing the problem they're trying to hide. any machine and former m i five agent annie thank you very much indeed for your insight. and we're eager to hear your opinion on what might have motivated the heart attack in london so go to our website was it a random act of violence committed by a disturbed man from your point of view or an isolated incident a home grown terror or was it perhaps blowback for the u.k.'s military forays

abroad maybe even sponsored from abroad so do have you say go as r.t. dot com and cast your vote and of course we've got more on our story including pictures videos and live updates from london on our web site r.t. dot com. today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world seeing from the streets of canada. charlie operations are all day. to police stations and dozens of cars have been set ablaze during a false mind of rioting in the swedish compas old clashes between you'd send police broke out on sunday in the launch of the immigrant suburb of has baby food finding

out across poor neighborhoods ivana's comes as a shock to a country with a reputation full social justice and welcoming refugees all these people all of the reports now from stockholm. see 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 police at journalists as well and 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 particular areas i'm in the suburb of who speak which is not too far from the center of stockholm is be 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. channelised.

says immigrants expect too much from the country's wealth system. 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 bet they really doesn't like sweden they don't want to integrate they don't want to live in this society where 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. so when gratian paula says in the fonz led to an even

speak your language. programs in documentaries in arabic it's all here on all t.v. reporting from the world talks about six of the i p interviews intriguing story are you. trying. to find out more visit or a big. dog called. welcome back this is aussie the u.s. could be facing a security policy facelift as president obama prize a major speech on national security much is expected to feature is gone tunnel bay which has been power lies by more than three months of mass hunger strikes he's going to chicago looks not totals may be in line for a shake up. 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 are one hundred sixty six detainees now held at guantanamo it is six have been cleared for release including 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 remain us to close the prison something that he probably promised to do four years ago the hunger strike certainly served as a push for these statements but one would argue he 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 did mr asian have 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 and kuantan and 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 previous administration the president is going to talk about his own counterterrorism strategy his seat. drone wars this wednesday the u.s.

attorney general for the first time officially confirms a u.s. drone strike killed four american citizens including the sixteen year old son of anwar in yemen there was no mentioning of other countries citizens killed by u.s. drone strikes in his state of the union address president obama said he'd ministration would get more transparent on drone operations we haven't really seen bad but we expect to hear more from him this thursday. and seventy thirty g.m.t. will have president obama's speech live here on r t but as anger over gone trauma grows one inmate has expressed his grievances using the twitter sphere we're closely following that on our website and out twitter page on disc or call. the suicide of a far right writer inside they know who done cathedral in paris has led to political clashes nationalist leader marine le pen called it a political act which should be a wake up call to france doesn't taste us on scene there opposed gay rights and

islamic sentiment. to explain who clothing line to shoot himself at the altar. here already we can see the clash in the words and 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 the another protest followed after after that 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 protest a stunning 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 francois law here in france leftists who had voted

for him say that the political elite here are focusing on the wrong issues and therefore 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 a lot and the ruling government to continue to ignore that voice of the french population and to be good to dan who is an agent spokes person for national leader marine le pen. i think social discontent goes far beyond opposition to gay rights there was more than about gay marriage it was probably as well but on the whole the situation of the society and probably things are going to be you know it's not going to change but what's going to happen is that the twenty sixth of may there's going to be massive demonstrations in france and specially in paris and it's not just about marriage same sex marriage i think it's more than that behind this message is about social problems economy core problems about the european union

many many things will be covering in this huge demonstrations happening sunday and a look now at some other world news in brief this hour two separate car blocks towns two hundred fifty kilometers apart in new share one targeted military barracks in the town of adair's killing at least one thousand soldiers after that a sort of side bomb a locked himself up in an office together with several hostages the other blast hit a french own genuinely a mine in our lead wounding thirteen extremist movement for unity and jihad in south africa has claimed responsibility is being seen as revenge for nizkor support of the french led counter insurgency in neighboring mali. china has offered up to five hundred military personnel as part of a united nations force which will be deployed in mali in july it will be the country's largest ever contribution to a un mission more than six thousand african troops are currently in the country but the un has called for thousands more to bolster the falls. through

tricks mainstream program stay clear of the say with as for breaking the said. paranoia and zero tolerance policies strike yet again the latest in a string of children being punished for making gun noises or playing with toy guns involves a son of a u.s. marine who had the audacity as a child to use a marriage anation and pee pretended his pencil was argon bearing children imitate what they see on every t.v. channel and in many video games kids are going to see a lot of guns in fact the boy at that moment was admirably pretending to be just like his father a us marine you know guns kind of come with a job description rather than complain you all again. about the obvious idiocy of

zero tolerance policies against children 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 could 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. some of these traditional chili lines they've been bred and developed and passed down from generation to. this is a total destruction of the culture of new mexico i tell you what i mean this this is not going to impact the swelling in mexico whatever happens here it's about the

whole world now we're not about explode in the in the you know in the eighty's in all the wars and so forth. the engineer cops why do you think this country is full of obese and sick people because we have a crappy food system. to live on one hundred thirty three bucks a month for food i should try it because you know how bad the less bad luck. i mean the town i believe as i've seen the team really messed up. in the original version

. of. the worst you're going through. my doubts to give it to the radio guy and columbo minestrone office i want to quote a good good you've never seen anything like good until. it's up guys i'm not in martin rocking abridgement sets i've got a packed show for you guys today but first let me highlight a couple headlines that aren't quite getting the attention they deserve. for one the fight to hold former dictator to be accountable for war crimes is far from over she recently mourned was convicted by water mallos constitutional court for genocide conviction was thought to be a landmark ruling for justice in a country where as many as two hundred fifty thousand people were killed during a bloody thirty years civil war mont was sentenced to eighteen years.
