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 i'm. not scared scared. you never get someone to. be scared i witness accounts of the priests attack detailed the men chanting islam is slogans as the body of soldier drama leave it be a second battalion the royal regiment do you still is. pleading they asked people to d.d.a. 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 to speaking at a press conference london mayor boris johnson okayed many senior political figures by trying to distance this latest act of violence in the case of recent aid to seize exploits this is not a question of blaming the religion of islam it is certainly not

a question 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 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 of eight other people's countries they have 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 scope for al qaeda to produce the sounds they'd be afraid more within the u.k. because when we're out there we're constricted space and not allowing that freedom and they've got out and that means bicycle prices i mean as we can both say the arguments from my youth because we're out there where we spawn the most motivates in the presence of every sort of motivation the selves 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 the 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. london. in the wake of the killing carried out by ledged islamists a series of attacks on muslims in mosques has taken place across britain

ultranationalists rallied in clash with police in several cities a number of people have been arrested for racially motivated to sold more than one hundred fifty such incidents have been reported in the u.k. since wednesday's killing earlier this week i discussed the reasons behind the latest violence within dumpty's editor of politics. and colors continue he's from the right wing british national party. what could a should be responsible immigration custody eight he's good to us you have get across the u.k. people who find difficulties who will find you car will integrate. all right and they don't want to also get the fact that example it's immigration isn't working it's irresponsible and there isn't enough included in this it really says aussies that means that you know that on so of course the 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 earlier 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 that's something to do with my how to help like i'll figure out exactly station here is done by right wing fanatics and i have to get us all to know the person. the other person who's talking the signori completely they filed the somali open dialogue with muslim communities that recently i had the bait with muslim communities in books in but the city in london about this very issue. the reason for importing.

the. shorties a 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 and people from east. from we people from from they think it's the number is not me or any german that members of its owners are going to meet and i will have sound 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 use or are you not yet if you just took just for it isn't it down to you not just aussie short of the british people died there a pull by spots 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 i don't mean that you take to prevent violence the issue. we have a social problem combined with out these us troops foreign policy. these regard for the rights of other countries and of course people who who are leaving in isolation cut more links with the outside world than with but if. and when british governments go on the rampage off course they are on green. oversaw a failure of integration. former m i five agent and emotions says there is growing frustration among was limbs over deadly western interventions around the world individualistic lone wolf style attacks which don't require great planning don't

require some thought specialist equipment or anything will become perhaps one of the main ways that people 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 in the middle east from central asia from all the people that been brutalized by the interventionist policies of the u.s. of the u.k. of nato or france i mean not just iraq and afghanistan but libya in largely instance in yemen and of course what we're looking at is a whole country that's been decimated now by the cia kill ists 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 on saturday where a soldier was stabbed the nearly killed the suspect reportedly a bearded man of north african origin is on the run with a manhunt underway the french president to stop short of linking the attack to the london that activists and journalists are concerned and told me earlier that the violence will be used to demonize muslims and draw attention away from failed government policies. these type of attacks plays into the strategy of 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 stabilization of the french who go in and pretending to be the neutral arbitrators bringing peace and stability and this is a big game or theater 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 france. seven consecutive days of street violence of shouted stockholm's image as an idyllic scandinavian city despite additional units being sent from sweden's other regions and these have not been able to curb the youth riots they first ignited in an immigrant neighborhood last sunday but spread beyond the capitalist week peter one of investigates the core of the unrest there. nice neat and normal not the type of place you would expect to see this. speak on the outskirts of stockholm 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. democrats are exploiting these events they 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 its government policy must be changed to avoid scenes like this being repeated on the streets of stockholm peter all of r.t. sweden. still to come this hour in the weekly press. jurists journalists in the u.s. raise the alarm over the future of their industry after the government seizes the records of associated press and fox news reporters. without borders rockets fall on parts of lebanon's capital controlled by hezbollah militants to help the syrian government fight rebels all the details shortly here. global food giant monsanto swept across six continents on saturday as two million

on thursday president obama ordered a review all the justice department's investigations of associated press and fox news the government says it seized journalists records over concerns about the leaking of classified security information it comes amid what is seen as washington's intensified persecution of whistle blows on his marine a port. 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 in obtaining the telephone records of the associated press over a two month peer. 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 signed 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 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 frightened 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

york toy james good dale i missed that. fresh fears of the syrian conflict spilling over borders have been ignited by an attack on the capital of neighboring lebanon several people were injured when two rockets landed in the as border control district to beirut the lebanese militant group's been strongly supporting the embattled syrian government but the rebel syrian army has denied involvement and middle east affairs expert at the risk told me earlier that he believes a splinter group could be to blame some members of the free syrian army deny that however there was one official who said that hezbollah you know its activity will lead to repercussions that would target by you were the northern city of tripoli and beirut international airport and that perhaps is an indicator that some of

these armed opposition groups some of these syrian armed opposition groups are indeed involved in what happened today you have to remember that the free syrian army years and to the one block so if one spokesman denies that it might very well be that are not the opposition armed opposition group which also use of title the free syrian army could have been involved in one of the rockets even landed in near a church and it lies on the border between the southern beirut and the christian district so obviously this is not an attack on a husband lobbyists or institution it's a clearly an act of terrorism against innocent civilians on it inhabited area and so i think it just goes to show you the nature of these groups who we are dealing with. reports emerge in the u.k. claiming russia is playing it safe when it comes to defense sales to syria is halting a deal. to damascus up to a billion dollars out of fear they could. cite.
