the latest news on the week's top stories britain's security is social integration and foreign policy under scrutiny following the daily lives decapitation of a soldier by alleged muslim extremists in london. the peace and quiet of stop cold waves just drop to by seven unprecedented nights of youth riots spawned by the death of an immigrant. and biotech a behemoths monsanto unites two million protesters across the globe with people accusing be called racial wouldn't daintree house and monopolizing the food market .

this is the weekly here on r.t. with me. for joining us. the u.k. security services are under fire for failing to prevent the brutal daylight murder of a soldier in london suspects arrested at the scene both british citizens have been trying to buy and why five years and one of them was allegedly even offered a job by the agency the killing of muslims by british forces overseas was used as justification for their target but despite fresh fears of home grown terror you care for scholz are defending the country's foreign policy as staff earth report. 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 gruesome act seeking to bring scenes of violence usually seen in war ravaged parts of the world to the london suburb of

will 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 maybe scared you never get someone to. be scared i witness accounts of the priest attack detailed the men chanting islam is slogans as the body of soldier drama leverage be a second battalion the royal regiment to. lay on the ground pleading they asked people to video them 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 but speaking at a press conference london mayor boris johnson okayed many senior political figures trying to distance this latest act of violence from the recent a.b.c.'s 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 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 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 what.

you think if we went out there then perhaps a bit more space and scope for al-qaeda to produce the cells they'd be operating more within the u.k. because when we're out there we're constructing the space and allowing them that freedom of maneuver out there and that means their base of operations over here is weaker but also the arguments we made because we're out there we are inspiring them or motivating them our presence out there is sort of 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 shock and outrage from the local community here in south east london at that 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 so if the london. in the wake of the catering carried on by alleged islam is

a series of attacks on muslims and mosques have taken place across britain ultranationalists rallies and clashes with police in several cities and a number of people have been arrested for racially motivated assault more than one hundred fifty such incidents have been reported in the u.k. since wednesday's killing don't discuss the reasons behind the latest violence with ian downed editor of politics the u.k. and commerce courtier from the right wing british national party. what should be responsible immigration customs gate is good. you have good across the u.k. people who find difficulties who will find you hard to integrate. all right i want to ask you the fact that example it's immigration isn't working it's irresponsible and there isn't enough included in this it really says is that. you know that on so of course the major. major major problem with what he's saying is

that these acts of terrorism really conducted by the far right you very generously describe the b.m.p. as a right wing party or they're not right wing therefore rights 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 to learn from and that's something to do with with my how to help others to figure out exactly station here is done by right wing fanatics and i have to come out to the person. the person who's talking signori completely the fact that i personally have an open dialogue with muslim communities that recently i had a debate with muslim communities in both in but the city in london. about these very issues. for employees. will be.

sure he's a racist you should learn to read what are you know proud of on ok to listen to mr dunn now please but you know i wouldn't don't know we don't know we don't. have websites and people from d.c. . we people from from they. let me really judge their members orderlies are meeting our website on 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 sure yet if you just took just for it is that it all you know just off the shore to the british people died there a pool by what's happened they would stroll response from government they don't want a reaction as could be tempered by fears of political incorrectness what should be done there's got 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 i don't mean that you take to prevent violence a few carry on in bathing out of countries can in mostly any drug funny stuff on cd up on a body would. you don't you wouldn't have. enough security services to come to the unger of these people or i have just talking about putting out talking talking president assad of supporting al qaida in syria and these are the same people that come to us and talk about integration and multiculturalism. or are these and he'd likely michael could i also i mean talk about the implication

when they are talking about the invasion or out well the attackers were partly born and raised in britain but what does that tell us about integration in british is some of the at the moment. yeah absolutely we are going to show you have a usual world idea nation and some communities and we certainly know that there are parts of our society in which there is extremist ideology taking place none of this is to counter that it is quite evident that that is the case and the extremist ideology that. and it's about how you prevent it and who should be prevented if that's a failure of the british muslim council the leaders who's failing to stop this extremism british muslims are not responsible for the action of every single one of their number any more than i am responsible for some white serial killer somewhere who commits a series of murders they're not responsible for by virtue of their religion or their race in fact the british muslim community contributes an extraordinary amount to this country not least of all the hundreds of people who served in the armed forces or the tens of thousands or so of historically in the armed forces and for

for us in world war one and world war two it was a failure of the community ok frater avoided us to create a society in which these acts of violence do not take place and one that we can deal with thank you carlos a final word from me on that please just a final one well the issue. we have a social problem. without these us troops foreign policy. these with god for the rights of other countries and of course people who who are living in isolation have more links with the outside world with it. when the british government's goal on their rampage off course they are on green. bay your. meanwhile french police are investigating an apparent called the counter attack in paris where soldier was stabbed and nearly killed the suspect reportedly

abated none of north african origin is on the run with a manhunt underway but a french president has stopped short of linking that top to the london murder activist and journalist second child says the violence will be used to demonize muslims and draw attention from failed government policy. 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 can see wrongly as islam is a disgusting version of the face 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 who go in pretending to be the neutral arbitrators bringing 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 of the economic crisis of police corruption of

a unjust and immoral foreign policy i.e. those in power in france seven consecutive days of street violence have so much stock homes image as an idyllic scandinavian city despite additional units being sent from sweden's other regions police have not been able to curb the youth riots they first ignited an immigrant neighborhood last sunday that spread beyond the capital this week is based on of investigators the core of the unrest. nice neat and normal not the type of place you would expect to see this. 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 a molotov cocktails it's ridiculous it's

a bad excuse the violence in the usually peaceful city has 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 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 they move 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 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. so to come this hour for you present to jurors journalists in the you are raised the alarm over the future of their industry after the government seizes the records of so say associated press and fox news reporter. plus the story of a community in these row which has chosen to take up arms and depends on the invite all three were in government across the border. under a global food giant monsanto swept across six countries on saturday as two million people marched approach as big corporations practices demos took place in dozens of

countries with activists accusing the biotech titan of aggressively putting small farmers out of business and planting hundreds of genetically modified crops many are angry at the legal protection the farm receives in a number of nations where it can sometimes make up nearly one hundred percent of the food market on sunday itself maintains its products improve agriculture and conserve resources the situation it was at one of the protests in new. throughout the world and in dozens of cities across the united states weekend of action against monsanto takes place here 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 actions the corporate giant the biotech global giant has been very controversial its existence 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 money how 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 senate 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. 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. 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 associate r.t. new york. had to website dot com for an extensive report on how the day of action days the biotech giant unraveled across the globe and next hour hail and i'll say a chilling the child how even the most traditional foods are being genetically modified. some of these traditional chili lines they've

been bred and developed and passed down from generation to. is the toll destruction of the culture of mexico by telling them i mean this this is not going to impact on in mexico whatever happens here throughout the whole world how we're eating out in the in the world you know or moves or. engineered crops why do you think this country is full of obese and sick people because we have a crappy food system. and a more news for you on the way when we come back. live.

market why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy is a report on. this is that would be welcome block this week president obama unveiled a new face for the war on terror while speaking about america's national defense

policy is he called for more transparency in drone strikes stressing they are only a way to combat insurgents and for the first time obama knowledge that for american citizens have been killed in counterterrorism drone strikes says two thousand and nine. of his day it's also believes they only serve to record even more terrorist. 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 how the second time in five years barack obama promised a shotgun time of day and promised to lift his own martorano on transferring detainees to yemen of one hundred on the one hundred six i think prisoners in the notorious camp have been starving themselves for almost four months and protests against indefinite detention without challenge one for my god and the president says he's gone ton of my experience has left him psychologically scarred. some of the some of the tactics that i saw practice in guantanamo i just never really want to wish to relive again omar kotter and a number of other detainees they were privileged to something we called the frequent flyer program more of an 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 is that every two hours they would be moved 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 have so many millions of dollars of taxpayer money in one hundred but if you 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. some news in brief for you now and two rockets have hit hezbollah on district of the lebanese capital beirut leaving at least five people

injured that tanks so concern that serious conflict might spill into lebanon which has similar sectarian divides this comes barely a day after the lebanese hezbollah leader promised a victory to his ally president assad while condemning the you are so the zero for supporting their wills has been lies now helping the syrian army to push opposition fighters out of their strongholds. sixty one people have been arrested over violent clashes between police and techno paraders in the swiss company of bern earlier on sunday police used water cannons and tear gas on answer capitalist hardliners the blood blog during this standoff which left twenty one officials injured clashes broke out one of the protesters attempted to tear down temporary barricades blocking the parliament the cost of the ensuing damage is estimated at several hundred thousand fewer. british authorities have charged two man with danger in an aircraft after a flight from pakistan was diverted in mid-flight the plane was due to arrive in

manchester on friday but it was escorted by a fighter jet to london stansted airport the pilot said there were threats during the flight which caused them to change direction a secret court in the u.k. house put some people behind bars just for trying to take care of their own relatives one woman whose father was pronounced mentally ill was locked away but says the hearings are behind closed doors it's hard to know why. investigate. when john maddox was diagnosed with dementia his children ivan and wanda intended to give him the best care they could but they clashed with social workers and their local council which took the family to the secret court of protection it ruled that the eight year old lack the mental capacity to make his own decisions and needed to live in a special care home he didn't want to be in a home basically told he didn't want to be in a home. he wanted to either want to go with one to the final home when he went i'm

swear to god to look after him out. the court makes rulings on behalf of citizens deemed to one well to be responsible for their own affairs it has power to take control of assets and separate family members all in secret wonder and i even want to allow to take their father out of the state run facility or even discuss his living arrangements with him but he kept on asking you want to go. tell him that he didn't have a nose anymore they got it because of the court tension and the sickos will do whatever they want with finances in its house what you're going to be locked up in these rooms weeklong. i don't feel free in order to mount a legal challenge to the secret court ruling wonder took her father to see a solicitor one day tried to draw attention to the case but was sentenced to prison

for contempt of the secret court so instead of caring for her father like she wanted to she had to spend two months in here in the company of criminals are cried the fierce two days i was in the prison i cried because nobody you treated like an ardent criminals and if you go in there you really cannot challenge the question as to whether somebody has mental capacity or not without talking to them and she was in prison firstly for taking her father to see a solicitor in birmingham. which makes it sound quite peculiar well in a sense it's worse than dr drew because draco would not have gone that far when i was in the chair i was frightened because he listening to phone calls so i was afraid to speak to dad. because i'm the commission's report on this and also you know in case they got in more trouble meanwhile her brother and i even watched their father's health deteriorate under the strain of her absence in the end when he moved into that final loom that was the end of him and he wanted it wanted still

loved him anything i said you got to know this she divorce. she put herself in prison port observers say the difficulty with justice behind closed doors is that no one knows if the lawyer is being followed the evidence is heard in private defendants often lack legal representation and i want to allow to publicize their case where nelson's it is giving the state too much power to intervene in people's lives preventing people complaining about what's been done to them is never right the government's faced a barrage of criticism over the practice of secret justice justice secretary chris grayling has said i have written to the president of the court to ask him to look at what steps can be taken to increase transparency while continuing to protect the interest of vulnerable adults but john maddox never got to go to his home or to his family he died in january of this year it's worried me what we've done it taken

away from it and i keep wondering what's going on to us when we get older you know we've got to be really careful. not say like. artie stoke on trent. now we're back with more news for you and just have a myth. 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 bulgarian and

a new government coming to power that looks exactly like the old government that collapsed at least six people 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 their people are actually becoming the stealth 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 gary's chances believe me but that's just my opinion.

on some of the day president obama ordered a review of the jensen the bobbins investigations of associated press and fox news the government says in general it's radicals of the concerns they only think classified security information and consummated what is sane or. as washington's intensified prosecution a whistleblower as has also he's wearing a partner i reports. 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 in obtaining 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 actions 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 a national security act 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 bombing 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. . so i had to r.t. dot com to find out how mosco decided to played save all of these so many issue of

defense applies to syria my whole to a deal to sell it it's down to the souls was up to a billion dollars to damascus for fear they could fall into the wall. and also mind what it takes to win a scholarship and they leave the british school also teenagers to pretend to be the prime minister and justify the all of the shooting and killing twenty five protested. today. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. showing corporations rule today. as fighting rages across the chills was all because crossing borders appeared ever

more real this week israel and syrian government forces exchanged also reply across the disputed golan heights and as his policy explains there's at least one community in israel ready to defend syria. we're ready to die defending our people strong words from a chef preparing young men to go and fight in syria exhibit his recruits are not rebel fighters or soldiers in damascus there is really droogs a minority islamic offshoot we need to go help defend the community in syria and president assad. we have relatives there are people are there and they were attacking them in the name of islam. the tipping point came afterwards targeted use village of near the israeli syrian border and killed seven people by the hundreds israeli druze volunteers started signing up short of i would be honored to be the first man who crosses the border to defend the druze community simon wired he works

in an israeli factory but feels it's only a matter of time before he'll be asked to cross the border into syria. i hope that they won't need us but you can't know what will happen now the situation in the druze villages is stable but if this changes we will go for it we are waiting for the orders from our shakes and we are totally ready israeli jews who live in communities in the gulf and the golan heights after the forty eight and sixty seven war they found themselves cut off from their families in syria after israel occupied the heights those who live here on the israeli syrian border are residents of israel but see themselves as syrian and they're loyal to the alawite regime who they see as a minority like him solves they live in fear for their families in syria after the rebel assault on the druze village of their adware. we're under attack we're under foreign attack they're using foreign soldiers to fight inside syria and some

syrians are helping them. some have other ways to fight back this man goes door to door selling his book about a respected to share all the proceeds go across the border. the druze community in israel collected one million dollars and sent it to the syrian druze from my abilities but can we collected one million shekels people paid what they could in order to help their relatives in syria the call to fight has not yet been made but as the conflict in syria starts to spread beyond its borders more and more communities are being torn in so many allegiances here randy and when a relative is killed the tete a tete in debtor is likely to last for years. we are just waiting for an opportunity to help and we are ready to give our lives pointlessly r.t. on the israel syria border. press freedom in the us would be biased channel the

new york times james. some of these traditional chili lines they've been bred and developed and passed down from generation to. this is a total destruction of the culture of new mexico by telling them i mean this this is not going to impact the swelling in mexico whatever happens here it's about the . worry not about explain them in the open in a in all boarding and so forth. genetically engineered crops why do you think this country is full of obese and sick people because we have a crappy food system. a clear image of iraq after inflation. twenty day trucks

a little bit misleading good little. luck lists look at a. live shot of me a little. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so for like sleep you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm charming welcome to the big picture. listen to.

lead. lists listen. my current guest knows firsthand what it's like to go up against the u.s. government in defense of. first amendment james goodell was general counsel and vice chair of the new york times when the pentagon papers were published and he joins our team now for an exclusive sit down interview mr goodell thank you for taking time to speak with me entire wellcome glad to be here in your new book fighting for the press inside the story of the pentagon papers and other battles you indicate that president nixon it was out to destroy the new york times but you also argue that if president obama succeeds at prosecuting julian assange he will be worse than nixon for press freedom why so well let me just say one thing about

nixon he was out to destroy the new york times he was out to destroy brookings institution lot of institutions in the united states president obama is not out to destroy the times what we're talking about is narrow it's not so narrow but a discrete area which is the relationship of the press to national security pentagon papers case a case about national security now in that area nixon was terrible ok he happened to also be error terrible in the whole first amendment area obama by contrast ok in the first amendment area but not ok in national security why are you because obama as first of all pursued six leakers as the for respect thing he's done some bad thing is done is he pursued a guy who got

a leak whose name is james rise and now what am i worried about he's also per suing julian assize i say if he pursues julian assize and says julia sonce is a coconspirator. then he'll be and succeeds he'll be worse than nixon because if them try to pursue the new york times and its reporters saying they were coconspirators nixon failed so while most succeeds where nixon failed you'll be worse than nixon so in this context you if you julian a songe as the publisher similar to the new york times similar to the guardian and all the other news outlets that then published what julian a songe disclose through wiki leaks right there saying that it's the same thing if everyone's on the same point it's like if you have a website yourself and you publish this interview you're a publisher u.s. officials maintain that julia songe compromised national security by publishing

classified documents now as you know in america you know sometimes first amendment is trumped by national security issues when information is disclosed that could threaten the lives of soldiers on the battlefield or threaten the lives of americans here at home do you believe honestly that a sign should face no consequences whatsoever yes that's right and so why you know the same claims were made about the new york times when the pubs print the papers it was a steroid national security it was drawing. so forth and so on the first amendment in that case trumped. the claim of the nixon administration now here you've got to ask yourself well what is the first amendment blame. the claim is that a son's can be punished if in fact there is no.
