minds of defiance president obama justifies the use of drones as part of a chance to war against terror and to compare that made america safer despite many of its only made things somewhat. unwelcome this is the weekly own knowledge chief thanks for joining us. police are pressing for answers as they investigate the murder of a u.k. soldier who was run over and brutally slain in broad daylight in the middle of a london street to suspects detained after their time remain in custody in hospital and three more were arrested in connection with the killing on sunday on saturday sand while security is now being reviewed in the wake of the murder many believe it's the u.k.'s foreign policy that badly need to come under scrutiny aftermath

reports a flag. a grisly attack with a machete style knife and a murdered soldier leaves behind a two year old son the seemingly behind this crease an act seeking to bring scenes of violence usually seen in war ravaged parts of the world to the london suburb. 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. the moment a little bit. scared maybe scared. you never get someone to. be scared i witness accounts of the priests attack details the men chanting is limited slogans as the body of soldier drama leverage be a second battalion the royal regiment. they only pleading they asked people to video 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 the speaking at a press conference london mayor boris johnson again many senior political figures trying to distance this latest act of violence from the recent data 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 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. prepared to stand and say well we think this strategy has been a disaster has been just 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 of us. you think if we went out there then perhaps a bit more space scope for al qaeda to produce the cells they'd be afraid more within the u.k. because we're out there we're constricted in space and not allowing them that freedom of maneuver out there and that means their base of operations over here is we both say the arguments from my youth because we're out there we're inspiring the more motivates in the presence of the resource motivating the so that 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 brutal attack and the sentiment echoed across the country as people struggle to come to terms with how a crime like that could happen here so see london the killing of the u.k. soldier allegedly carried out by islamic extra extremists has sparked muslim sentiment across the country more than a thousand of wind when protesters marched in the northern city of newcastle while in this south in portsmouth a police arrested three men for a radically motivated assault as a crowd gathered near a local mosque a number of people have appeared before courts around the country over alleged racist incidents u.k. prime minister david cameron labeled it will launch a betrayal of islam but it was actually carried out by the same kind of people he's supporting in war torn syria so says british m.p. george galloway. this was

a grotesque and sickening act of madara involving either the attempt or the successful beheading of someone by fanatic extremists the sort of thing that happens in syria every day except sometimes they even cut out the heart and the liver of the deceased and eat it on video for the entertainment of the brothers in the buttocks afterwards and britain is helping to pay for that sickening barbarism in syria but when it comes close to home happens on our own streets by the same kind of people these people influenced by the al qaeda mindset are exactly the same kind of people that we are paying for arming get materiel and budgeting to give them more in syria and so i simply asked david cameron as i've asked him before in parliament if he would the key differences between the hand chopping

throat cutting fanatics that we saw in religion and the hand chopping throat cutting fanatics we're giving money and weapons to in syria. 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 and no 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 bearded aged about thirty five and wearing a white arab style kinnick and his possibly of north african origin activists and journalists as a culture and out things no matter who is behind that time it serves the interest of those who want to undermine islam. these type of attacks plays into the structed york the state to promote a full sense of islam so that is done so what people of the masses around the world conceive wrongly as islam is

a disgusting version of. all muslims around the world and then they use these groups in asia to conduct the stabilisation so 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 form 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 of the economic crisis of police corruption of unjust and immoral foreign policy i.e. those in power in france six night so riots in a country listed as the best government in the world wouldn't spend these sabin violence in stockholm has been curbed over dozens of cars were still torched and poor suburbs it was almost a week of rioting with lost protesters vandalizing the city and that is fueled by unemployment and poverty among immigrants who feel they're being pushed to the edge

of society as r.t. is based on of a report. nice neat and normal not the type of place you would expect to see this. who speak on the outskirts of stockholm and 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 usually peaceful city has become a political football it's the swedish democrats are exploiting these events they make it all about immigration to suit their needs they see being anti immigrant is being produced. 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 gets wise ation and 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. two million people across countries have been protesting against the

agricultural biotech giant while santa according to ron overnight says oxford has claimed the corporation's monopolizing the food market and its genetically modified products can lead to suez health and environmental problems the company itself unsafe its products are safe and help conserve resources to say trick and i was of the 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 in the heart of the protests in the big apple world hundreds of people have been marching through the streets of the city demanding that monsanto put an end to its actions 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 food culture and food accused of turning a blind eye on the health consequences of the food that it produces and also of

immense lobbying powers that it has in washington d.c. for one piece of sleeping in the same bed really with politicians blocking any kind of legislation that would make life for martha had months and to more difficult add up 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 there's 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 and the government are one we have a supreme court justice who is a lawyer for the month sent 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. people protesting this weekend.

marches against monsanto what they're demanding is a liebling object most 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 understand 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 to say archie new york. the u.s. senate this week well mean they rejected a bill that would allow states to require the labeling of genetically modified products and william wrote a book researching the political the political side of the jan debate he believes also has used its amount of government influence to push its products onto the market and suppress their criticism. this is a. strategic interest of the u.s.

the agribusiness lobby which lobby the bush sr as president one thousand nine hundred two months on to went to the white house and had a closed door meeting with bush and got bush to agree to make sure there were no government tests whatsoever on the health and safety of g.m.o. products before they were released to the commercial public rats that would give moments up to a rice corn and other had. huge incidence of cancer tumors compared with nonviable rats they had an enormous organ damage death rates five times out of of normal rights and the study was suppressed while it was it was damned by the european union's food safety administration and it turns out most of the scientists on the panel had ties to monsanto so it's just the corruption that my own subject tries to infiltrate its way they try to block labeling in california because that would damage their whole. product situation in america people are beginning to wake up

i'm to say on aussie you were taking an in-depth look at genetically modified foods with to pont fi challen the iconic cheney pepper as an example of the potential dangers of bait frankenfood trend and you can catch the second pod of that and just out of fifteen minutes. some of these traditional chili lines they've been bred into bill to pass down from generation to. this is a told destruction of the culture of mexico by telling them what i mean this is not going to impact the swelling in mexico whatever happens here throughout the whole world we're eating out to about six in the in the world a spin all the ordinance that works for. genetically engineered crops why do you think this country is full of obese and sick people because we have a crappy food system.

and so that's how a press dreads look at the growing concerns over the media pretend it was something the government seizes the records of associated press and fox news reported. and also made the war on terror gets a facelift president obama reviews his national arm to tell us strategy defending overseas drone went bad as an eagle and necessary all the house and all place homes . played a family jazz band together. hijacked a plane together. most of them from music to tara. twenty five years old questions still remain.

just bad hi jack. thank you mrs darcy coming to you live from moscow welcome back on thursday president obama ordered a review of the justice department's investigations of associated press and fox

news reporters the government says it fears that their records over concerns that they only can classified security information but there are increasing fears press freedoms are under threat with the u.s. government performing secrecy over the public's right to know on his marine important i report. 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 in his administration it is important to remember the president 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 multiplied 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 to try to name because it's usually used to get leakers so if the bomb and ministration releases 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 and 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. president obama insists that journalists should not be at legal risk for doing that jobs of bo's who brave in no way leaking government secrets should be punished and

greg 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 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 and to some other stories making the news around the world two rockets have hit as well on district of the lebanese capital

beirut leaving at least five people injured according to reports little information has been disclosed about that time but one source says the rockets were fired from a top on mount lebanon some thirteen kilometers away it comes barely a day after the lebanese hezbollah leader promised a victory and supports the allied bashar al assad while admonishing the glass and israel for their position in the conflict. the u.s. teenager arrested in the town of albany of state for plotting a bomb attack on his high school has been charged by police investigators found at least six different bombs including one explosive device containing napalm and it was secret compartment in quantico his bedroom the team is reported to have idolized the students behind the nineteen ninety nine columbine high school of stock in which fifteen died. this week president obama unveiled a new face to the war of terror while speaking about america's national defense

policies he defended drone strikes as a legal and necessary base after the obama administration for the first time acknowledged that four american citizens have been killed in counterterrorism drone strikes since the south two thousand and nine author and activist day its walls and believes the use of drones only serves as 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 or locky why did he not indict him with with any criminal charges or provide any evidence to anyone that he was guilty of any

criminal act 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 and abusive as it appears and 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 gun tunnel obey the u.s. president said he is lifting his own moratorium on transferring detainees to yemen bases the notorious camp has been called in a massive hunger strike for nearly four months more than one hundred only one hundred sixty six prisoners there are currently protesting against indefinite detention and inhumane treatment the majority of them remain held without charge and one former god of the prison says he's gone time to experience has psychologically scarred him. some of the some of the tactics that i saw practice in

guantanamo i just never really want to wish to relive again omar carter and a number of other detainees they were privileged to something we called the frequent flyer program or even essentially move them every two hours whether removing them from camp delta camp echo or moving them from bravo block to charlie block be it a little move or a big move the idea of a set every two hours they would be removed and they wouldn't be able to sleep this was essentially thought to wear down their psyche and make them more. probable to give up information during interrogation the only reason the detainees are being force fed is that the the us military or rather the powers that be are scared that these men have enough conviction to to literally starve to death and they know that if these men do starve to death it will make the us look bad in the global perspective as it stands right now they've wasted so many millions of dollars of taxpayer money in one hundred but if we just devoted another four hundred fifty

million i think that's just perfect evidence right there there's no intention to close up one where the. a very short break as promised we continue. of genetically modified foods. although i was born after the vietnam era i remember t.v. discussions about that buddhist monk who burned himself to death as a form of protest the commentators on the news said that people there just have a different mindset that westerners could never understand you know which is probably true but they were implying that people in the west are just different and would never use this absolutely extreme form of protest which is also probably true until just recently with the cost of electricity exceeding the income of the

average ball garion and a new government coming to power that looks exactly like the old government that collapsed at least six ball gary and have used self-immolation as a very desperate and extreme form of protest but why kristen ghodsee a professor at bowdoin college who has extensively talked to bulgaria protesters claims that those who self-immolating are just incredibly desperate and cannot feed their own children and that people are actually becoming a stealth check for communism because at least that system at the people's basic needs the current democratic system from the populace perspective according to her just cycles through a few new crooks every few years although it does get media attention and you may be feeling desperate suicide is never an answer the more living bulgarians the better ball garry's chances believe me but that's just my opinion.

only adds to the crops to drink poison. eighty five percent of all the g.m. crops are sold with the herbicide that it's designed to die for. so british soil is designed to die from. genetic engineering is on the coat tail of conventional and culture that is characterized by the proliferation of agro chemicals fertilizers pesticides herbicides fungicides all of these chemicals . costs. energy production they have cost environmental cleanup this is self-propagating genetic pollution we have technology today just.
