it is a just after nine am here in moscow a very good morning to you from all of us here in the newsroom i'm sure it's good to have you with us today. the investigation into the machete murder in london has seen police arresting two more people on suspicion of conspiracy to murder the two men who apparently hacked to death a british soldier in broad daylight they remain in hospital now one of them was recognized by a former radical preacher as a man who converted to islam around a decade ago i mean while the local community is still reeling from the brutal attack. reports from. a flag at half mast a grizzly attack with a machete style knife and a murdered soldier his death leaves behind

a two year old son the seemingly behind this recent act seeking to bring scenes of violence usually seen in war ravaged parts of the world to the london suburb of knowledge in a poignant interview r.t. spoke to an army officer he told us of the reaction among some in the armed forces to remain anonymous. not scared maybe scared you never get someone to. be scared i witness accounts of the priests attacked details the men chanting is the best slogans as the body of soldier drama leave it be a second battalion royal regiment used to lead they on the ground pleading they asked people to d.d.a. that if you listen to the words of the attackers themselves it's clear that they will wish to bring the war which they saw prosecuted on the streets of baghdad and

kabul to the streets of london the speaking at a press conference london mayor boris johnson again many senior political figures trying to distance this latest act of violence in the case of recent agencies exploits this is not a question of blaming the religion of islam it is certainly not a question of blaming any aspect of british foreign policy or what british troops i'll do it operations abroad when they risk our lives on behalf of all of us the london mayor in charge at the time of the london two thousand and five bombings disagrees they are lying they are completely complicit with the united states policy to cite tony blair was with george bush they are prepared to stand and say well we think this strategy has been a disaster it has been dishonest not just for the young man killed on the streets of london but for the hundreds of thousands of. people in afghanistan and in iraq. a simple reality if you invade other people's countries they come back

it's one side of an argument but one that's going to be weighing heavily on many now that this has hits take place to hey you feel less secure i think that's one ace. you think if we went out there then perhaps that be more space scope for al qaeda to produce the sounds they'd be afraid we didn't carry these when we're out there we're constructing the space and allowing them that freedom. out and that means their base of operations over here is we both say the arguments we made because we're out there we're inspiring the more motivating them our presence out there is sort of motivating the selves that back in the u.k. to operate more and carry out more attacks as the police investigation continues that deep sense of guilt and outrage from the local community here in southeast london at the breach the attack and they sentiment echoed across the country as

people struggle to come to terms with how a crime like that could happen here so see london i mean all parallels are being drawn between the alleged motives behind the savage london murder and those outlined by the surviving boston marathon bombing suspect right here for example the message from the left in the boat that he was hiding and he claimed the terror attack was in retribution for u.s. crimes against muslims saying that once you attack one muslim you attack all muslims and one of the london machete killers also saying that ultimately the attack was an eye for an eye and because british soldiers are killing muslims every day or another similarity you know i certainly between this it seems that the alleged terrorists acted individually and i would not any part of a terror network well earlier my colleague bill dog he discussed all of this with artie's. it looks like we're looking at something of a new phenomenon the so-called open-source jihad there's

a website out there it's actually periodical online magazine which provides all sorts of recipes for disaster literally for example how to make a bomb in the kitchen of your mom from the chef and you can use a pressure cooker in order to do that it says the ingredients are readily available they're not going to cause any suspicion if you're going to purchase them and you will basically get away with murder literally now this is not the only recipe that's out there so to speak they're also talking about techniques to wipe out large numbers of people there are also a dish there's also in addition on how to blow up buildings and so on and so forth as a matter of fact the even have in addition targeted. muslim women and suicide bombers and it's positioned as of lifestyle and fashion magazine and it sounds almost borderline observateur or on the borderline funny but it's not because literally there is a plethora of information out there on internet and it basically teaches people how to kill other people and and yet you annoy we can access this the security services

doing about this because clearly they know where it's coming from go they do something absolutely yes it does seem like they're actually keeping track of in some instances we know that in both cases the killers as well as this one i brothers were under the radar but the main question of course is why didn't the authorities do anything to prevent the attacks from happening because we're looking at an enormous a number of young men primarily of. muslim faith who are out there reading these websites and there are the target audience of these websites and they can essentially be their own terrorist leaders so you'd think they would be under the cap of the authorities and get it doesn't seem like the authorities have done anything to prevent these attacks from happening of course to keep people from dying and that is the main problem that we're facing here right now. when i hear it on t.v. love it when you get involved with the stories we're covering here certainly today we're asking you perhaps for example of what might have motivated the brutal murder of london let's see how the how all of us are voting on the website today and still

saying well it's all blowback because of a u.k. wars a military operations in predominantly muslim countries a very distant second saying well it was an act of violence committed by the rain used to men down to a third position it was an isolated act of homegrown terror finally though ten percent saying this was orchestrated from abroad well it's never too late for you you can get involved right now we're keeping a very close watch on our website and your photos at r.t. dot com. all right we are approaching the ten minute mark here in moscow this is auntie a city on fire that's become the common scene in stockholm where riots have raged

for a fifth night in a row now young people in the immigrant suburbs of the city have torched cars smashed windows they've set buildings on fire and the violence of spock to debate on sweden's open immigration policy would chance resulted in an influx of asylum seekers who many say refuse to integrate preterite of a fog this report. nice neat and normal not the type of place you would expect to see this. but speak on the outskirts of stockholm the epicenter of sweden's issues with race and that's bubbling over in sweden you get welfare you get access to the education system up to university level you get access to public transport to libraries to health care to everything and still they feel that they need to throw stones or molotov cocktails it's ridiculous it's a bad excuse the violence in the peaceful city become

a political football the swedish democrats are exploiting these events they make it all about immigration to suit their needs they see being anti immigrant as being pro-choice. for the past week stone throwing in car burning become the norm in this part of town known for its high unemployment predominantly immigrant population all sparked after a sixty nine year old man was gunned down by police while brandishing a knife that let loose a barrage of emotions it's state what it creates as the type of gets wise ation of men so they move everyone from your old into these parts of town when it comes to unemployment sweden is below average however almost one quarter of under twenty five out of work prompting some to say it's time for further action saying a lack of control by government has led them to the situation the police can put the write down in five minutes if the politicians were to allow them. although

swedes defer over what caused this week's violence they are in agreement that it's government policy that must be changed to avoid scenes like this being repeated on the streets of stucco peter all of a r.t. sweden. and as the riots continue to rip through stockholm some claim of violence is clearly help us try to for ulterior motives that's the opinion of danish journalist laws had a guy shot earlier and with my colleague bill todd if you look at similar instances in other parts of europe you'll see him eventually that there is a plan behind that some people would want to gain recognition as the stakeholders in society in other words people who would want to be in a goshen a negotiating position these are the authorities and so if they can sort of make things happen and make them go away this proves they have in the local community

and they are people that you have to reckon element behind of course much of this these are immigrants that and of course we've got a reputation for opening its doors to immigrants surely that multiculturalism is something that sweden has been successful at over the past so will why should that be going wrong. while has not been successful i mean you can see that right now there's been a. it's been an ideology that's been disseminated by the ruling elites actually that this was a great success and. a great experiment a model for the rest world the fact is that these and why it's that are now spreading in the country i don't know if that will continue for a long time but they certainly demonstrate that this success was once was a fiction it never succeeded. back with more news in just a minute to be including a look at president obama's

a renewed promises to shut down guantanamo bay and his prospects for america's ongoing war on terror live from moscow it's a. good lumber tour. was able to build a most sophisticated. mission to teach me why you should care about humans and. this is why you should care only. sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything is. welcome to the big picture.

from the data we're coming to you live from moscow i'm rule re sushi now five years off the promising to shut down the guantanamo bay prison president obama has finally announced specific actions to one day make that a reality of the statements came during a big speech where he also made it clear that america's war on terror which has become a key symbol of will be winding down but at the same time the u.s.

leaders defended getting suspected terrorist with drones as just and necessary i was in a correspondent guy nature can was following obama's address. president obama says he's appointing new people new on voice at the state department and the pentagon who will specifically work on the transfers of guantanamo detainees he did not really specify when the transfers will begin or how this will be done but he did say the administration is lifting the ban on transfers to yemen the yemenis are the largest single group of prisoners added on and on those six out of eighty six detainees who've been cleared for release are from yemen and president obama also says he asked congress to lift restrictions on bringing the detainees to the u.s. to be tried by military commissions here in the states after all these years of inaction indifference and then just this one tunnel detainees finally got to president obama's attention whether it was just really sad that it took a massive hunger strike and so much physical suffering to them to be heard remember we've heard president obama talk about closing the prison five years ago nothing

happened moreover he signed a law that made indefinite detention illegal he shut down the office of the state department that was working on the transfers and just two months ago a pentagon official was in congress asking for nearly two hundred million dollars to renovate the prison so just a little while ago the prospect of closing the prison seemed so very distant now it seems we could be seeing some action on the part of the administration but president obama has never been a guantanamo fan his preferred strategy is targeted assassinations the administration has been very secretive about how they determine the targets innocent people have died in those strikes and it has contributed to the growth of extremism in places like pakistan but we've heard the president mitigate the adverse effect that the drone strikes are happening here of course underscored that the drones keep u.s. troops out of the battlefield he spoke extensively about how much he likes drones as opposed to other military strategies at one point he said putting u.s. troops on the ground would trigger an international crisis would lead to more anger

among the locals which begs the question where the bombing from air does not trigger an international crisis or whether the local somehow like being bombed more than being shot it the u.n. has questioned the legality of the use of drones and here's how the president addressed the issue america cannot take strikes wherever we choose our actions are bound by consultations with partners and respect for state sovereignty. america does not take strikes to punish individuals we act against terrorists who pose a continuing and imminent threat to the american people when the president talks about consultations with other countries one should mention that you have the whole population of pakistan its parliament unanimously opposing the drone strikes so the administration may be in consultation with the governments of those countries but obviously not the people there the president said this wednesday he signed a presidential policy guidance on the use of drones which is supposed to lead to

establishment of some guidelines oversight and accountability now also on the issue of legality did mr ations still operate under the congress authorization for the use of military force adopted in two thousand and one which says the u.s. is at war with al qaeda and its affiliates based on the threats that the president talked about in the speech and he talked about the threat coming from all. different parts of the world the war on terror is still on and the drones are here to stay. so obama has failed first on commitment to shut down guantanamo bay has now started another lap of a former detainee from the camp more back he told us he believes the u.s. is trying to get away with a crime and end up being thanked for it. i don't think anybody's going to be singing the praises of obama any time soon because he's already made a promise four weeks ago and he closed the place the words of malcolm x. you don't take a knife to stick it in a man's back nine inches deep five inches and say we're making progress if they're

cleared for release and why don't you released him now it is a process it will take you no more we want the criminals they were the criminals the criminality was done against us torture is criminality kidnap is criminality rendition is criminality tortures criminality all of these things were done to us we didn't do this to anybody we were interrogated by the world's most powerful law enforcement and intelligence agencies and at the years of all of this we still have no charges against us and the years of all of this prison still the overwhelming majority of them of still no charges against him so it's simply not even discussing it. that attorney david remes who represents seventeen guantanamo bay inmates thinks that obama's speech was just simply full of empty promises speech was a deep disappointment we had been led to expect at least in the media that president obama would do something constructive all he offered however were the same empty promises that he's offered. he continues to defend indefinite detention

in the news who will say well he lifted the ban on the transfer of yemenis that's a nice gesture i have to say it's a gesture though because as long as he blames congress for not letting him transfer anyone it doesn't really matter and he was the one who imposed the obstacle in the first place. i just i just think that this is an unfortunate speech because it will give the illusion of progress where there is no progress at all. well obama's iron clad way of battling terrorists certainly spotted heated debate during his speech in washington at one point the president was stopped in his tracks by an angry audience member. my colleague i've across he outlined what made the woman break obama's scripted autocue something that we haven't seen really before was that the presidential veneer the the obama veneer was punctured somewhat by a heckler in the audience and i think we can have a listen and have

a look at how obama dealt he went on through. we went on. we're addressing. the heckler was media benjamin of code pink with the heckling itself and that it took place is a real indication of. angry people are as far as we could pick up on the audio she she she pretty much addressed every element of obama's obama's speech so she called on him to compensate families who have been destroyed by joint strike drone strikes and she called on them to close guantanamo bay called called on him to release the

prisoners who have been set for release for up to ten years from the company that he dealt with he's a consummate performer and he dealt with it very well as any politician of his stature would. point to the fact that free speech allowed this lady to have an opinion and he felt she went on a bit and i think about stagey after a minute or so we've had certainly had enough for me the key takeaway is. the policy of. drone strikes it needs to be changed obama is definitely trying to move responsibility for growing strikes drone strikes out of the shadow of the cia and into the department of defense and he's certainly trying to do something about guantanamo but i think the key takeaway and the key lesson is that these two elements of u.s. policy of the so-called war on terror are absolutely unsustainable. and later today here in a modern discussing america's future of fighting terrorism that will be in breaking the set and i will quit. i don't we did congress authorized the use of force

it is briefed on every strike that america takes every strike. that includes the one instance where we target targeted an american citizen so there he is saying that we've targeted one american citizen to die however we know that holder just confirmed that there was four american citizens who died under drones why do you think that he only referred to one because there's still one we targeted as far as what happened the other three including the one the one we targeted in where a walkie his sixteen year old son is one of those other three that were targeted and killed so actually now targeted start two weeks later they were just he was just killed outright and nobody's really answered this question roberts did he said bad father but about a bad father. live from moscow it's odds he and the father of a chechen immigrant killed in the u.s.

during questioning over his alleged links with one of the boston marathon bombing suspects now believes his son was tortured before death you but again was shot dead by an f.b.i. agent when he allegedly became violent civil rights attorney sarah z's says it has not only raises questions but could also damage progress in the investigation. we know very little about what happened because we only source of information is the f.b.i. and presumably it's not in their self-interest to me reveal too much information you can since there is now investigating into this now because this could possibly be that with their supporters in violation things constitutional rights so the question is why did the officer to. reach it is generally something of last resort and principle the legal standard is usually the action

that's reasonable or that it was necessary to the extent that he knew about the boston bombings he obviously did an intelligence source in to the extent that he even if he did know the directly about the boston bombings he may have known about other associates of the older brother or possibly even the younger brother so i think he certainly a loss of any knowledge and source to me it's not because he mean anything ok world update time to you and straight to brazil very spectacular fire broke out at a field death just north of the capital rio de janeiro at least one person a forty three year old man was killed in the. six giant fuel containers at the storage site ignited sending flames soaring up to fifty meters high it's basically forced firefighters to evacuate all the nearby schools and the houses according to officials the owner of the death of petrol gold had lost its license to operate the continued working pending a court appeal. to america's north west coast of the u.s.

state of washington an interstate bridge has collapsed sending several cars and people into the water authorities can if i mean while that everybody has been rescued from their vehicles no deaths have been reported local officials say at the moment it's not clear what caused the collapse which happened about sixty miles just north of seattle. or a time to get a big key here and see i'll be back in half an hour with more news for now though the cutting edge of tomorrow to day technology update in just a second. paranoia and zero tolerance policies strikes yet again the latest in a string of children being punished for making gun noises or playing with toy guns involves the son of a u.s.

marine who had the audacity as a child to use his imagination and p. pretended his pencil was our gun banger children imitate what they see in 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 that 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 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.

live. live

. the us. live. hello and welcome to technology update despite our five senses not everything is quite what meets the eye this episode looks to shed some light on devices they give us a glimpse i was hiding just out of sight. remember the earth was the center of the universe until copernicus and galileo came along may.
