hello and welcome this is the weekly on r.t. with me your national politics for joining us the u.k. security services are under fire for failing to prevent the brutal daylight murder of a soldier in london to suspects arrested at the scene both british citizens had been tried by m i five for 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 homegrown terror you cared for defending the country's foreign policy as our first reports. a flag at half mast a grizzly attack with a machete style knife and a murdered soldier his death leaves behind a two year old son the seemingly behind this 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 who told us of the reaction among some in the armed forces to remain anonymous angered the moment. 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 a few still is they only 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 in 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 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 our british troops are do in operations abroad when they risk our lives on behalf of all of us the london mayor in charge at the time of the london two thousand and five bombings disagrees they are lying they are completely complicit with the united states policy to cite tony blair was with george bush they are prepared to stand and say well we think this strategy has been a disaster it has been a disaster 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 went out there then perhaps a bit more space scope for al qaeda to produce the cells they'd be operate more within the u.k. 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 we both say the arguments we made because we're out there we were inspiring them or motivates in them our presence out there is sort of motivating the cells that are 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 the sentiment echoed across the country as people struggle to come to terms with how a crime like that could happen here r.t. london and in the wake of the killing carried out by alleged islamic the series of attacks on muslims and mosques have taken place across britain ultranationalist

ride and clashed with police in several cities and a number of people have been arrested for a radically motivated assault more than one hundred fifty such incidents have been reported in the u.k. since wednesday's killing offseason bill don't discuss the reasons behind the latest violence with and done to and so politics that code u.k. and color school t.d.o. from the right wing british national party. what could a should be responsible immigration custody a to get to us you have get across the u.k. people who find difficulties who will find you to integrate. all right and they don't want a lawyer to find that example it's immigration isn't working it's irresponsible and there isn't enough included in this efficiencies 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.n.p. as 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 for political means well i've got to learn from and i have to do something to do with my how to help like others to figure out exactly how they share is done by right wing fanatics and i have to come to the person with. the other person who's talking the signori completely fucked but i personally have an open dialogue with muslim communities that recently i had a debate with muslim communities in books in but the city in london about these very issues. for importing. foreigners will

tell you about the. issue of these racist you should learn about what are you know proud of on ok just listen to mr dunn now please but you know i wouldn't don't know we don't know we don't. have websites people from east. from people from from they think it's lebanese let me really judge their members it's owners are going to meet and i went. and some other lunatics who also 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 a us all right you get if you just go just for a visit don't you know just off the shore to the british people know there are appalled by what's happened they want the strong 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 where the 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 out news that you take to prevent violence the issue. we are social programs combined with out these us through us foreign policy. these with god for the rights of other countries and of course people who who are leaving in isolation have more links with the outside world than with but it. when british governments go on the rampage of course they are on green. bay your integration and film and my five agent annie michel says there's a growing frustration among muslims of a deadly western interventions around the globe. individualistic lone wolf style attacks which don't require great planning don't require some sort of specialist

equipment or anything will become perhaps one of the main ways that people can make protests and it's a horrific attack there is no doubt about it and my heart goes out to the family of the victim but what we're looking at is also an angry voice yelling out from north africa hard on the middle east from central asia from all the people that been brutalized by the interventionist policies of the us of the u.k. of nato or france i mean not just iraq and afghanistan but libya in mali in some in yemen and of course what we're looking at is a whole country that's been decimated now by the cia killing which are a presidential you proved in the u.s. every week and also drone strikes which are not targeted they take out a whole villages communities and wedding parties even so of course there's going to be anger. meanwhile french police are investigating an apparent copycat attack in paris where a soldier was started and nearly killed the suspect reportedly

a bit of money north african origin is on the run with a manhunt underway but the french president has stopped short of linking that target to the london mudda activist and journalist a second chandan 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 false 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 three it's a smoke and mirrors that really has to be distinctive from from a position that is opposing western hegemony 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 or unjust an immoral foreign policy i.e. those in power in front. seven consecutive days of street violence have smashed stock homes image as an idyllic scandinavian city despite additional units being sent from sweden's other regions police have not been able to have the youth riots they first ignited in an immigrant neighborhood last sunday but spread beyond the capital this week on of the investigators they pulled down arrest. 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 and

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 to make it all about immigration to suit their needs they see being anti immigrant as being pro sweden for the past week stone throwing in burning become the norm in this part of town known for its high unemployment predominantly immigrant population all sparked after a sixty nine year old man was gunned down by police while brandishing a knife that let loose a barrage of emotions it's the state that creates this type of gets. so 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 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 of r.t. sweden. this is still to come this hour presenter jurists journalists in the u.s. raise their lawn over the future of their industry after the government seizes the records of associated press and fox news reporters. following the story of a community in israel which has chosen to take up arms in defense of the in bottled syrian government across the border. on good global food giant monsanto swept across six continents on saturday as two million people marched in protest at the corporation's practices demos took place in dozens of countries with

activists accusing the biotech titan of aggressively pushing small farmers out of business and planting hazardous genetically modified crops many are angry at the legal perception of the firm receives in a number of nations where you can sometimes make up nearly one hundred percent of the food market on santa itself maintains its products improve our culture and conserve resources she's a sissy trick and i was at 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 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 action the corporate giant the biotech global giant has been very controversial its existence 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 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 martin ham on santa's 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 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 in the government award we have a supreme court justice who was 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 of people protesting this weekend in a local 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 and so you're going to artsy new york so had to websites are calling for an extensive report on how the day is the biasing china and unraveled across the globe and later this hour here on out see a changing feature on 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 is not going to impact us all in mexico whatever happens here throughout the whole world. in the in the world you know ordinance or. engineered crops why do you think this country is full of obese and sick people because we have a crappy food system. and the news continues here and i'll see want to return in just a minute. they played a family jazz band together. hijacked

a plane together. one of them from music to terra. twenty five years old our question still remains. just bad hijack. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so for lengthly you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom hardy welcome to the big picture.

this is that we chaos he let's continue now on thursday president obama ordered and reviewed obeyed justice department's investigations of associated press and fox news the government says journalists records of a consensus they are leaking classified security information it comes i mean what is seen as washington's intensified prosecution a whistleblower is as also has more 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 assange treatment the justice department. subpoenaed and obtained the telephone records of the associated press over a two month period without any notice 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 multiplied them addressing the nation this week the u.s. 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 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 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 r.s.s. 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.

. some news in brief for you two rockets have hit a hezbollah district of the lebanese capital beirut leaving at least five people injured that top stoke concern that syria has called it may spill into lebanon which has similar sectarian divides this comes a day after the lebanese hezbollah leader promised a victory to his ally president assad while condemning the u.s. and israel for supporting the rebels has allies now helping the syrian army to push opposition fighters out of their strongholds. sixty one people have been arrested of a violent clashes between police and techno paraders in this with capital of berne earlier on sunday police used water cannons and tear gas on to capitalist hardliners the block blog during the standoff which left twenty one officers injured clashes broke out when the protesters attempted to tear down the temporary barricades blocking the parliament the cost of the in soon damage is estimated at several hundred thousand euros. as fighting rages across syria the chances of the

conflict crossing borders appeared ever more real this week israeli and syrian government forces exchanged fire cross the disputed golan heights and as a sneer explains there's at least one community in israel ready to defend syria. i mean we're ready to die defending our people strong words from a chef preparing young men to go and fight in syria except his recruits are not rebel fighters or soldiers in damascus they're israeli druze 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're attacking them in the name of islam the tipping point came after rebels targeted the truce village of kind of near the israeli syrian border and killed seven people by the hundreds israeli druze volunteers started signing up. i would be honored to be the first man who crosses the border to defend the druze community simon why the works

in an israeli factory that 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 for the. israeli jews who live in communities in the gulf and the golan heights after the forty eight and sixty seven wars 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 that see themselves as syrian then loyal to the alawite regime who they see as a minority like him selves they live in fear for their families in syria after the revolution salt on the village we are under attack and they'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 can 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 ability. or can we collected one million shekels people paid what they could in order to help their relatives in syria the core 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 sam many allegiances here randy and when a relativist killed the target for tatar vendetta is likely to last for years but for him often we are just waiting for an opportunity to help and we are ready to give our lives policy r.t. on the israel syria border. and you can always have to own state of com to find out how long has decided to play safe when it comes to defense sales to syria by

halting a deal to sell advanced anti aircraft miss elsworth to a billion dollars to damascus for fear they could fall into the wrong. and also on the line of what it takes to win a scholarship and then lead which a school once teenager is to pretend to be the prime minister and justifiably on a shooting and killing twenty five percent as to. access from us we continue our in-depth look at genetically modified foods here on ansi. although i was born after the vietnam era i remember t.v. discussions about the 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 paul geary 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 about getting protesters claims that those who self-immolating are just incredibly desperate and cannot feed their own children and the 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 as per. 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
