world news headlines live from moscow this is r t with me. welcome to the program today. the investigation into the. london 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 now remain in hospital and one of them what's recognized by a former radical preacher as a man who converted to islam about a decade ago meanwhile the local community is still reeling from the brutal attack as reports. 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 police an act seeking to bring scenes of violence usually seen in war ravaged parts of the world to the london suburb of willett 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'll never get someone in there but maybe you'll be scared i witness accounts of the priests attacked detail the men chanting is in the midst logan's as the body of soldier drama leave it be a second battalion the royal regiment to use a lead they on the ground pleading they ask people to d.d.a. then 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 to speaking at a press conference london mayor boris johnson okayed many senior political figures trying to distance this latest act of violence in the case of recent aid to seize 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 our british troops are do in 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 just like tony blair was with george bush they are prepared to stand and say well we think the strategy has been a disaster has been just announced 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 who've been killed 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 hit so close to her. you fail less secure i think that's one ace. you think if we went out there then perhaps a bit more space scope for you to produce the sounds they be afraid will be carried these when we're out there with strict and spice and all that freedom and then for now then that means their base of operations over here was we both say the arguments we now use because we're out there we're inspiring them or motivates in them our presence out there is sort of motivating the selves back in the u.k. to operate more and carry out more attacks as the police investigation continues a deep sense of guilt and outrage from the local community here in southeast london at the brief 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. oxy london meanwhile parallels are being drawn between the alleged motives behind suffrage in london murder and those outlined by the surviving boston marathon bombing suspect are from the message. left in the boat he was hiding in he claimed the terror attack was in retribution for u.s. crimes against muslims and in a video message one of the london machete murderers also says that the attack was an eye for an eye because of british soldiers killing muslims every day another said about similarity in both cases it seems the alleged terrorists acted individually and not as part of a terror network early and my colleague bill dodd discussed this with artie's arena . 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 already leave vailable 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 an 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 a lifestyle and fashion magazine and it sounds almost borderline observateur or 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 have 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 they were 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 yet 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. and i just a bit earlier in the program here on our spoke to intelligence expert glenmore truly a hobby he explained why such attacks are nearly impossible to predict and to prevent . even though our security service five were aware of

these two perpetrators it is almost impossible to predict when people suddenly just almost by happenstance choose a time and place and those poor unfortunate. was the target usually would walk to the security services will monitor the internet traffic the telephone the mobile phones all of these people and try and follow them to see if there is a pattern and if they are associated in this particular instance the reason they're referred to as lone wolves apparently they didn't have associates they were not part of a planning process we'll learn more as the investigation goes along but this is what is so absolutely terrible someone can be preaching hatred in one instance and not just to muslims of course because the english national league are preaching

a gates muslims they are also preaching hatred but it's an additional step to go from preaching about it to taking the terrible acts action which happened. and here at r.t. inviting you to get involved with our online poll right now are starting the main story we're covering as you can tell is this the machete murder in london two days ago what might have motivated it let's see how the views of stuck it out from dot com for this hour right now still though the majority a fairly small fluctuations with the numbers here saying ultimately this is just blowback for the u.k.'s military operations in predominantly muslim countries about a fifth now convinced it was a random act of violence conducted by a mentally deranged man the also a little less thinking the attack was an isolated incident of home grown terror you can see how the numbers stack up here from dot com we've been gauging your pulse and your reaction on this story and the poll lines are still open just log on you

can cast your vote right now. it's a pleasure to have you with us here on. a city on fire that's become a common scene in stockholm where riots of rage for a fifth night in a row are young people in immigrant suburbs of the city have torched cars smashed windows set buildings a blaze and the violence espouse a debate on sweden's open immigration policy which has resulted in an influx of asylum seekers who many say refuse to integrate this report now filed by r.t. correspondent peter all of. nice neat and normal not the type of place you

would expect to see this. 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 and molotov cocktails it's ridiculous it's a bad excuse the violence in the peaceful city become a political football. democrats are exploiting these events they make it all about immigration to suit their needs they see being anti immigrant as being. for the past week stone throwing in 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 think what it creates as a type of guess who is ation of men so they move everyone from a road into these parts of town when it comes to unemployment sweden is below the average however almost one quarter of under twenty five out of work prompting some to say it's time for action saying a lack of control by government has led them to the situation the police can put these right 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 stockholm peter all of r.t. sweden. and as the riots continue to rip through that city some claim the violence is clearly being orchestrated for terria motives of us the opinion shared by last had a god and danish journalist working for

a swedish newspaper if you look at similar instances in other parts of europe you'll see in eventually that there is a plan behind this some people would want to gain recognition as the stakeholders it's 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 with 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 why should that be going all the 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 just i'm an agent 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 better now spreading around 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. or item or world headlines in just a few minutes here on out see that will be backed up by abbie martin's breaking the setup to see you in just a moment. download

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 speech where he also made it clear that where america's war on terror which has become a symbol of will be winding down however at the same time the u.s. needed defended targeting suspected terrorists with drones as just and necessary i wish and a correspondent. 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 it is 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 and one on the list is six out of. police are from yemen and president obama also says he asked congress to lift restrictions on bringing

the detainees to the us to be tried by military commissions here in the states after all these years of inaction indifference and then just this one time when you need to finally got a president obama's attention whether it was just really sad that it took a massive hunger strike and so much physical suffering for 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 and 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 having he 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 and 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 the 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 al qaeda a few different parts of the world the war on terror is still on and the drones are here to stay. so obama's failed first term commitment to shut down guantanamo bay has started another lap of the former detainee from the camp was back he told us he believes the u.s. is trying to get away with

a crime and be 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 years ago that he would close the place the words of malcolm x. you don't take a knife difficult to get a man's back nine inches deep and pull it back five inches and say we're making progress if they are cleared for release and why don't you released him now why are you going to start the process it could well take a year or 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 after years of all this we still had no charges against us and after years of all of this prisoner still the overwhelming majority of the most still no charges against him so it's not even worth discussing any. more speaking of obama's drone based war on terrorism foreign policy analyst dr khan how a man who feels the u.s.

is intent on justifying the killing machines are despite the fact that they've proven to be ineffective. one of the reasons why i think they're ratcheting back to drone war is because international law issues involved here because central intelligence agency it's a civilian organization and according to the geneva conventions civilians cannot be involved in an actual warfare in the shooting part of warfare and see a civilian organizations i think that's one of the reasons why they're moving to the defense department to sort of cover themselves on the possibility charge for violations of international law and the geneva conventions according to the sort of independent evaluations of the impact of the drone strikes fewer than two percent of the bomb in a terrorist leaders al qaeda leaders accept or have been killed by these drones and majority of people are really hard to say i mean a lot of them are our civilians and then the drone war has not been

a great success and it has generated a huge amount of anger in the rest of the world unfortunately not a great deal in the united states. and about five minutes time here on our team abby martin discussing america's future of fighting terrorism that will be in breaking the set before we get that for now a very quick preview. americans are deeply ambivalent about war. but having fought for our independence we know a price must be paid for freedom a price for freedom well just break down how costly this so-called freedom has just been in the last twelve years over six thousand six hundred u.s. servicemen and women have been killed in iraq and afghanistan but the civilian death count is much more grave in yemen and pakistan drone strikes have killed almost three thousand four hundred people so that's a really heavy human cost for that so-called freedom and i'm not even talking about the six trillion dollar price tag of the afghanistan and iraq wars according to

a new harvard study so has the war on terror really been keeping us free what other well known constructs that obama outlined in his foreign policy speech today. being off in the trustee sledgehammers here in just a moment for now though the father of a chechen immigrant killed in the u.s. by an f.b.i. agent believed his son was tortured before death you put a game to the show was shot dead in his apartment while an agent was questioning him over his alleged links with one of the boston marathon bombing suspects a civil rights attorney zis she says his death not only raises questions but could also damage any progress in the investigation. we know very little about what happened because we on the source of information is the f.b.i. and presumably it's not in their self-interest to more of you know too much

information you can since there is now investigating into this now because this would possibly be a case that with their supporters in violation prosecution rights so the question is why did the officer need to boost their reach is generally something of last resort and principle the legal standard is usually under whether the action is reasonable or that it was necessary to the extent that he knew about the boston bombings he obviously an intelligence source to the extent they did he even if he did not 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's certainly a loss of any intelligence source to mean anything. to you spoke on the phone with the father of the killed chechen immigrant he believes his son would never have attacked first if he wasn't provoked you condition of the whole interview on

a camera recording the incident and told onlookers he was doing this is a vengeance for the muslims who are dying daily around the world while this act of been widely condemned the u.k. a member of parliament george galloway urges us to understand this incident the scope of western foreign policy which he says plays a part in the radicalizing people all over the world pulled this story seems to be getting major play in the corporate media and other stories into a following completely off the radar earlier this month another man not far from london to name a home and salim was stabbed three times on his way home from praying in a mosque by a young white male it's been investigated as a racially motivated attack so why so much play on one story and not the other i guess on the hinge to muslims are more newsworthy hey whatever feeds into the humanisation of the enemy right join me if you want to break that that.

well today obama gave a foreign policy speech where he addressed concerns of drones targeted assassinations going toward a moment just like his predecessor reminded us that freedom isn't free take a look. there are deeply ambivalent about war but having fought for independence we know all apprised must be paid for freedom. a price for freedom a well let's just break down how costly this so-called freedom has just been in the last twelve years over six thousand six hundred u.s. servicemen and women have been killed in iraq and afghanistan but the civilian death count is much more grave in iraq alone over one million people have died as a result of u.s. occupation according to a two thousand and seven opinion research poll countless thousands more have died in afghanistan and that's not even counting the covert.
