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 say close to home you feel less secure i think that's one ace. i think if we went out there that perhaps would be more space scope for al qaeda to produce the cells they'd be operate more with the u.k. because when we're out there we're constricted the space and allowing that freedom . out there and that means their base of operations over here is we both say the arguments we value because we're out there we're inspiring the more motivates in the presence of the resource motivating the cells that 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 that brutal 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 our london the killing of the u.k. soldier allegedly carried out by islamic extremists has sparked and muslim sentiment across britain over a thousand right ring protesters marched in the northern city of new castle and while in the south in portsmouth the police arrested three men for racially motivated just told as a crowd gathered near a local mosque a number of people have it paid before courts around the country over alleged racist incidents artie's billboard discussed this on the way the recent terror attack in london should be perceived with dunned editor of politics u.k. and kahless patil you're from the right wing british national party. these acts of terrorism really conducted by the far right you very generously describe the b.n.p.

is a right wing party idea they're not right wing they're far right they're a fascist party and the acts of violence that they perpetrate against mosques against property the threats against muslims these are also acts of terrorism these are also acts of violence by non-state actors political means well i've got to learn from and i have something to do with my how to help like honestly think that i say sure is done by right wing fanatics and i have to get us all to know the person. the other person who spoke in the signori completely fucked ali personally have an open dialogue with most in communities that recently i had of the bait with muslim communities in books in but the city in london about these very issues. for employees. will be voters will tell you about the. issue of these racist you should learn about what are you know

proud of on ok to listen to mr dunn now please but you know i don't know we don't know we don't. have websites people from east. from we pull from from they think it's number please let me really judge them members it also implies a meeting our website and some other lunatics who are so agree with your demented view of the world however that does not mean that you know what is there what is their mission actually was he is the us or are you not yet if you just look just for that is that it can i just ask you surely the british people died there a poll by what's happened they want to stroll response from government they don't want a reaction that could be tempered by fears of political incorrectness what should be done there's going to be some strong reaction surely political correctness really has no connection to whether you have a viable response to a terrorist incident stopping terrorism is about having. joined up services by intelligence agencies by the police by mental health authorities by schools by the

muslim community these are the kind of sensible adult news that you take to prevent violence and what about the maintenance as well because a lot of fives you. misunderstand that it is something to do with an intrinsic nature of islam ok mr did mention the fact that you can't have the manpower to track all these people down but surely there has been a lack of surveillance of many people who say we need to step up that now sober so-called snooping on people because clearly they were on the five radar but they got through i mean is that do you think that people be as you just make something very clear. where we don't really know what is how does it let me say this i mean there's a lot of people talking without any access to the information required to make a coherent judgment we know yes that they're one of my party let me think it was a free country and they're even say it isn't all that my own intelligence list and not be tracked at all times i'm afraid that these things do sometimes happen terrible as they get mr critical or they have over my five they have all of my five

talking in the car so-called say that refraining to do love thousand and five the security services in the united kingdom not of a mom or need to track down every single song they suspect of being born you know not that the reason. they gave obama a five talking no easy feat a few carry on. bathing out of countries killing muslims in a duck funny stuff on cd and everywhere. you don't you wouldn't have. enough security services to come to the unger of these people. in a similar attack a french soldier has been stabbed in the neck while he was patrolling a business area in a neighborhood of paris the twenty three year old was injured as the unknown man attacked him from behind with a knife or a box cutter police say according to c.c.t.v.

footage the suspect is tall aged about thirty five and wearing a white arab stark unique he's possibly of north african origin activists and journalists who can chant and things no matter who's behind the attack it serves the interests of those who want to undermine islam these type of attacks plays in through the stress did york the state to promote a full sense of islam so that is what people of the masses around the world can see wrongly as islam is a disgusting version of the phrase and in so doing criminalizes all muslims around the world and then they use these groups in asia to conduct the stabilisation of the french can go in pretending to be the neutral arbitrators bring peace and stability this is a big game or theater smoke and mirrors that really has to be distinctive from from a position that is opposing western germany as part of the state strategy is to make sure that everyone is pointing fingers at everyone but the actual arbitrators off the economic crisis of police corruption of unjust and immoral foreign policy

i.e. those in power in france six nights of rights in a country listed as the best governed in the world sweden's police say the violence in stockholm has now been kerrville though dozens of cars were still torched imports suburbs it was almost a week of rioting with mass protests as vandalizing the city and the anger is fueled by unemployment and poverty among immigrants who feel they are being pushed to the edge of society's artie's peter all of a now reports. nice neat and normal not the type of place you would expect to see this. week 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 from 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 produce wheat and 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 but then we've everyone from abroad 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 further action saying

a lack of control by government has led them to the 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. meanwhile two million people across fifty two countries have been protesting against the agricultural by tech giant monsanto according to rally organizes activists claim the corporation's monopolizing the food market and its genetically modified products can lead to serious health and environmental problems the company itself insists its products are safe and help conserve resources artes and the city was one of the protests in new york. throughout the world and in dozens of cities across the united states weekend of action against monsanto takes

place where in the heart of the protests in the big apple were hundreds of people have been marching through the streets of the city demanding that monsanto put an end to its action the corporate giant the biotech global giant has been very controversial it's existed for over a century accused of genetically engineered and genetically modified agriculture and food accused of turning a blind eye on the health consequences of the food that it produces had also of immense lobbying powers that it has in washington d.c. for one accused of sleeping in the same bed really with politicians blocking any kind of legislation that would make life for morning have months and to more difficult and promoting and pushing through legislation that protects the rights of this biotech giant these companies are manipulating the food chain to their own advantage for monetary gain this is a few people making

a lot of money and we deserve to have better than that there may be no way to fully tackle the machine and even vote which monsanto mud santo in the government award we have a supreme court justice who is a lawyer for the month sent to a corporation how much independence do we have really in our government all of these people that have come out onto the streets according to our estimates throughout the world it's hundreds of thousands of people protesting this weekend in global marches against monsanto what they're demanding is a labeling of g m o's and also demanding further scientific research into genetically engineered genetically modified products and food and what they're hoping is that these big corporations such as monsanto at least begin to have less power and the voice of the people is heard that legislators begin to. stand what it is that people want especially in the united states where any kind of significant

legislation against monsanto has traditionally been blocked by legislators who say see if you're going to artsy new york. and you can keep track of all the latest developments from the monsanto march is a grand the world on our website. we've got live updates their videos reaction and analysis and it is all just a click away still to come this hour the war on terror gets a facelift president obama reviews his national anti-terrorist strategy defending i would seize drone war as legal unnecessary that's coming up off a quick bright. some of these traditional chilly lines they've been bred and developed and passed down from generation. this is a total struction of the culture of new mexico i tell you what i mean this is not going to impact a swelling in mexico whatever happens here throughout the whole world now we're

eating out about in the in the open you know all the organs that work for. genetically engineered crops why do you think this country is full of obese and sick people because we have a crappy food system. played a family jazz band together. hijacked a plane to get. them from music to tara. twenty five years old questions still remain. just bad hi jack.

welcome back to the weekly now on thursday president obama ordered a review of the justice department's investigations of associated press and fox news reporters the government says it seized their records over concerns that they are leaking classified security information but there are increasing fees press freedoms are under threat with the u.s. government preferring secrecy over the public's right to know art is more important i as the details. he's the australian wiki leaks founder holed up in the ecuadorian embassy on u.k. soil and across the atlantic members of the american press corps are learning what it feels like to receive the julian a songe treatment the justice department subpoenaed and obtained the telephone records of the associated press over a two month period without any notice i think about the harm done to the a.p. here you know object of interest to intimidate people who talk to reporters the department of justice wasn't just targeting the associated press apparently it also

went after fox news reporter our very own james rosen what you've got here is a situation where somehow now journalism has been criminalized dozens of journalists have been secretly investigated by the justice department for reporting on national security issues government officials secretly obtained reporters' phone logs and personal e-mails trying to find out who leaked classified information to the press even if you side with this president over those of us in the media who challenge him and his administration it is important to remember the precedent these action set going forward perhaps when it's not your guy in the white house the guy currently residing in the white house has prosecuted more whistleblowers under the espionage act than all other administrations combined and now experts say u.s. news outlets are being persecuted just like wiki leaks has been the obama administration has really taken the executive branch powers have been kimmitt dating the free

press from under the bush administration and exponentially malta plied them addressing the nation this week the us president said journalists should not be at legal risk for doing their jobs but leakers will pay the price i believe we must keep information secret that protects our operations and our people in the field. to do so we must enforce consequences for those who break the law and breach their commitment to protect classified information however some think the lines are becoming increasingly blurred this is the first time. you know national security has been used to get reporters i mean that really is frightening frightening because it's usually used to get leakers so if the bombing ministration or loses justice department thinks that they can use criminal laws to get journalists because they're coconspirators i mean honestly that's one of the worst things i've

come across them all the years i've been doing this the new yorker magazine has pulled a page from wiki leaks to protect those who want to share something the u.s. government doesn't want revealed it launched an open source dropbox where people can send leaked documents and messages without their identities ever being known the underlying code for strongbox was co-created by our assess inventor and open source activist aaron swartz he committed suicide in january at the age of twenty six while facing a federal trial and thirty five years in prison u.s. prosecutors were targeting swartz for downloading millions of online academic articles journalists are employed with the responsibility of informing the public and holding a lectern officials accountable the first amendment of the constitution protects press freedom but all one has to do is look at recent events to know that doesn't always happen reporting from new york marina portnoy r.t.

. well president obama insists journalists should not be at the risk of doing their job as but those who break the law by leaking government secrets should be punished greg pay those they from the reporters committee for freedom of the press says the government's attempts to protect itself should not intrude on constitutional rights . they obviously have a very strong interest in protecting their information and we've always counted on the justice department to balance that interest against the first amendment rights of the reporters and it's that ability to balance that that's been called into question by the events of the last couple of weeks we feel that most journalists can make the careful determination of when some confidential information is newsworthy and something that the public has a right to see and they can balance that against the risk of any damage that might be caused by the release of it i think most journalists if they knew the information would truly be damaging would be willing to hold back or you know

report less of it or accommodate those security interests not to some other stories making news around the world this hour two rockets have just hit a hezbollah district of the lebanese capital beirut leaving at least five people injured according to reports this comes after the lebanese hezbollah leader announced his organization will support bashar al assad's syrian regime to the very end he also is money the u.s. and israel for their position in the current home plate warning that series armed opposition is a threat to both christians and muslims in the region. elsewhere tens of thousands marched in the portuguese capital is been on saturday is going sterrett seen rising unemployment continues to pay its citizens against the government police had to brought protest is from reaching the presidential palace as they demanded the government's resignation the country has been hard hit by the eurozone crisis and he's struggling to deal with the ongoing financial turmoil despite tax hikes and

welfare cuts. this week president obama unveiled a new face to the war on terror speaking about america's national defense policy he defended train strikes is legal and necessary this after the a bomb the administration for the first time and knowledge that four american citizens had been killed in counterterrorism french strikes since two thousand and nine aurthur and activist david swanson believes the use of drones and leases is a recruiting tool for even more terrorists he claims that he is going to further limit his murder by drone program including applying these arbitrary criteria met in secret by himself to his own satisfaction to non americans at least in certain countries countries other than afghanistan and yet he's not provided publicly any documentation of the claims he's made thus far i mean if if

he would rather have captured ardmore a lockie why did he not indict him with with any criminal charges or provide any evidence to anyone that he was guilty of any criminal acts this is this is not transparency and if these reforms and limitations are needed on this program then what of the conduct of this program here too for is it not as criminal an abusive as it appears. while warning the war on terror will stretch on indefinitely obama has for the second time in five years promised to try to shut down guantanamo bay the us president said he lifting his own moratorium of transferring detainees to yemen this is the notorious camp has been caught in a massive hunger strike for nearly four months more than one hundred of the hundred sixty six prisoners there are currently protesting against indefinite detention and inhumane treatment majority of them remain held without charge. a former prisoner

at the u.s. facility in cuba says obama's words are bang promises. i don't think anybody's going to be singing the praises of obama any time soon because he's already made a promise for two years ago that he would close the close the words of malcolm x. you don't take a knife difficult to get a man's back nine inches deep and pull about five inches and say we're making progress if they're cleared through lease and why don't you release them now are you going to start that process it could well take a year or more we want to criminals they were criminals the criminality was done against us torture is criminality kidnap is criminality rendition is criminality torture is criminality all of these things were done to us we didn't do this didn't we were interrogated by the world's most powerful one force and intelligence agencies and after years of all of this we still had no charges against us and after years of all of this prison still there overwhelming majority of them are still no charges against them so it's simply not even worth discussing anymore. it

is approaching help us nine here in moscow and up next the investigates the world of genetically modified things. 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 involved 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 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 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. wealthy british style. that's not on. the. markets why not scandal. find out what's really happening to the global economy in the kinds of reports on
