the investigation into the machete murder of a soldier in london sees two more arrests while the alleged motives behind what's considered a terror attack controversy among the british public and politicians. cars and buildings ablaze and windows smashed unprecedented violence continues for a fifth night in immigrant suburbs of stocco questions over whether it's time for sweden to stop being so tolerant. go take a knife sticking a stick is a man's back nine inches deep five inches and say we're making progress. in the u.s. war on terror rebranded striving to show that athletes are winding down president obama announces steps to speed up one ton of closure but defends targeted killings with drawings as just unnecessary.

but i welcome you watching r.t. with me and very far. now the investigation into the harrowing machete murder in london has seen police arresting two more people on suspicion of conspiracy to murder that as the two men who apparently hacked to death a british soldier in broad daylight remain in hospital one of them was recognized by a former radical preacher as a man who converted to islam around a decade ago meanwhile the local community is still reeling from the brutal attack as artie serafin ports from london. 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 grissom act seeking to bring scenes of

violence usually seen in war ravaged parts of the world to the london suburb of 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 anger of the moment and. not scared scared. you never get someone to. be scared i witness accounts of the priests attack details the men chanting islam is slogans as the body of soldier drama leverage be a second battalion the royal regiment do you say they only pleading they asked people to the 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

by 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 or blaming any aspect of british foreign policy or what 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 to cite tony blair was george bush they are prepared to stand and say well we think this strategy has been a disaster has been just announced or 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 home you feel less secure i think that's one ace. you think if we were out there that perhaps would be more space scope for al qaeda to produce the cells they'd be operating more with you carry because when we're out there we're constricted in space and not allowing them that freedom of maneuver and that means their base of operations over here is weak but also the arguments from my youth because we're out there we're inspiring the more motivating them 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 shock and outrage from the local community here in southeast london at that briefly 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 r.t.

london meanwhile parallels are being drawn between the alleged motives behind the savage london murder and those outlined by the surviving boston marathon bombing suspect from the message your heart is knife left in the boat he was hiding in he claim the terror attack was in retribution for u.s. crimes against muslims and in a video message one of the london machete killers also says the attack was an eye for an eye because of british soldiers killing muslims every day another similarity in both cases it seems is the alleged terrorists acted individually and not as part of the terror as not as part of a terror network early my colleague bill dodd discussed this with artie's and we need to leave. it looks like we're looking at something new phenomena in the so called open source jihad there's a website out there it's actually a 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 an edition 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 board we're going 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 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 there are shady 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 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. earlier we spoke to intelligence expert glen or trina harvey him explain why such attacks on me and possible to predict and to prevent even though our security service m i 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 there's poor unfortunate. was the target usually 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 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. as always we are interested to hear your opinion on the stories we are covering and today we are asking what might have motivated the brutal murder in london this is how you're voting so far at the moment online around fifty six percent of you believe it's blowback against u.k. wars abroad then nineteen percent believe it's an act of violence by mad men sixteen percent say it's an isolated act of homegrown terror and then the remainder that's nine percent believe it was orchestrated by foreigners so do you have your vote or you do have to do is go to r.t. dot com.

a city on fire that has become the common scene in stockholm where rights have raged for a fifth night in a row now young people in immigrant suburbs of the city have told car smash windows and set buildings that place the violence has sparked a debate on sweden's open immigration policy which has resulted in an influx of asylum seekers who many say refused to integrate artie's peter oliver has this report. nice neat and normal not the type of place you would expect to see this. horse speak on the outskirts of stockholm and the epicenter of sweden's issue 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 is ridiculous it's

a bad excuse the violence in the usually peaceful city has become a political football. democrats are exploiting these events they make it all about immigration to suit their needs they see being anti immigrant is being produced reason 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 the state that creates this type of ghettoization they move everyone from abroad into these parts of town when it comes to unemployment sweden is below the average of 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 this situation the police can put

the ride 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 over r.t. sweden. and as the riots continue to rip three stockholm some claim the violence has clearly been orchestrated for terria mates if that is the opinion shared by laws hedegaard a 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 that some people would want to gain recognition as 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 with element behind of course much of this these are immigrants the 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 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 just so manage it 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 by it's that are now spreading around the country i don't know if they'll continue for a long time but they certainly demonstrate that this success

was once was a fiction it never succeeded. watching ot say i'm back with more news after a quick break but first let's have a quick look at what's going on for you right now a massive earthquake has struck the russian far east but it appears it's created more off the shelves on the web as opposed to when the country tell you why. plus coming in from the cold russian research by sneer the north pole is seeing out his last days had to r.t. dot com to what is forcing the scientists and by the way.

a reality. the statement came during a speech where he also made it clear america's war on terror which one taliban has become a key symbol of will be winding down at the same time the u.s. leader defended targeting suspected terrorists with drones as just and necessary a washington correspondent dan has been following obama to 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 at guantanamo prisoners 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 state looks like after all these years of inaction indifference and injustice 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 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 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 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 ation 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 laugh but a former detainee from the camp 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 little words of malcolm x. you don't take a knife stiff gets to get a man's back nine inches deep and pull it back five inches and say we're making progress if they're cleared for release and why don't you release them 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 prisoners still the overwhelming majority of them of still no charges against them so it's simply not even worth discussing anymore obama's eyeing clad way of battling terrorists sparked a heated debate during his speech in washington and at one point the president was stopped in his tracks by an angry audience member early and my colleague i've across the at line what made the woman break obama's script 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 about adultery about who you really 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 but he dealt with he's a consummate performer and he dealt with it very well as any politician of his stature would he be 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 the man 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 the key lesson is that these two elements of u.s. policy of the so-called war on terror are absolutely unsustainable speaking of

a bomb is drawing based war on terrorism and foreign policy analyst dr khan feels the u.s. is intent on justifying the killing machines despite the fact they've proven to be counterproductive. 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 is a civilian organization and according to the geneva conventions civilians cannot be involved in an actual warfare in the shooting part of warfare and c.a.'s of 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 of being charged 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 civilians and then the drone war has not them 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. but later on today abby martin discusses america's future fighting terrorism and brighten the set and here's a quick preview. americans are deeply ambivalent about war. but having fought for independence we know a price 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 and 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. or international news in brief in the lebanese port city of tripoli syria link. into a six day with fierce gun battles between sunni fight is a members of the other white community at least twenty four people reported to have been killed and dozens injured fighting between sunni support the uprising in neighboring syria and other whites who backed president as sad have been particularly face in recent days reports suggest the army could be about to move in . a british airways plane made an emergency landing at london's heathrow airport
