the latest week's news in the week's top stories the brutal killing of a soldier in london by alleged muslim extremists leaves the u.k. reeling about a sharp rise in any muslim hate crimes as security services come under fierce scrutiny. sweden shaken by seven straight nights of unprecedented youth rioting sparked by the police killing of an elderly immigrant. millions take to the streets across the world to protest against biotech giant monsanto is the company's accuser quoting hazardous products and monopolizing the food market.

two am in moscow i met treasury bring you today's top stories and a look back at the week's news here on our t.v. our top story britons were shocked on wednesday by a savage killing of a soldier in broad daylight by suspected islam is in london the country's security services have come in for particular criticism after it emerged that the two suspects had been tracked by m i five for years some reports suggest the security services even tried to recruit one of the attackers six months ago nine people arrested in connection with the case is hackers claim they were motivated by revenge for british military action overseas or sarah furthur ports from london. 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 grissom 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 i'm. not scared scared. you never get someone to. be scared i witness accounts of the precise attack details the men chanting islam is slogans as the body of soldier drama leverage be a second battalion the royal regiment do you say they only 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 from the recent data seize exploits this is not a question of blaming the religion of islam it is certainly not

a question or 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 with 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 one

ace. he think if we went out there then perhaps a bit more space scope for al qaida to produce the cells they'd be approachable within the u.k. because when we're out there we're constricted in space and the allow in that freedom and they've run out and that means that bicycle bryson's i.v. was we can both say the arguments we now use because we're out there we're inspiring them all motivates in the presence of a resource most of it in the cells that back in the u.k. to operate more and carry out more attacks as the police investigation continues that deep sense of guilt and outrage from the local community here in southeast london at that brief the attack and they think from an educated across the country as people struggle to come to terms with how a crime like that could happen here so i'll say london u.k. has witnessed a surgeon anti muslim sentiment following the attack far right activists rallied in

several cities clashing at times with police and a number of people have been arrested for racially motivated assaults more than one hundred fifty such incidents reported in the u.k. since wednesday's killing earlier this week my colleague bill dodd discussed the reasons behind the latest violence with ian dunn editor of politics dot com dot u.k. and carlos quartile you're from the far right a far right wing british national party. what immigration be responsible immigration custody eight are these good tools 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 these efficiencies that you know that on so of course the major but i get why you're the one 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 treat against mosques against property the threats against muslims these are also acts of terrorism these are also acts of violence by non-state actors political means well i've got to learn from and i have to do something to do with my how to help like all those people who are all exaggeration here is done by right wing fanatics and i have to come out to the person. the other person who is talking to the seignorial completely fucked but i personally have an open dialogue with muslim communities that recently i had the bait with muslim communities in books in but the city in london about these very issues. for importing. will be foreigners will tell you about the. jewish authorities are 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 people from. people from from they. let me really judge their members organizer. you know when you have sound 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 news or are you not yet if you just go just for matters that it does not just cost you shorted the british people died there a pull by what's happened they want to stroll response from government they don't want a reaction is going to 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. we have a social problem combined with out these us troops foreign policy. these with god for the rights of other countries and of course people who who are leaving in isolation more links with the outside world would but if. and when british governments go on the rampage off course they are very. oversold a failure of integration. meanwhile a large manhunt underway for an apparent copycat attack on paris on saturday where a soldier was stabbed in the neck the suspect reportedly of north african origin and counter-terror officers are involved the investigation the french president stopped short of linking the attack to the london murder of activists you can't

shine and things violence will be used to demonize muslims and draw attention away from failed government policies. these type of attacks plays into the strength of the g.o.p. the state to promote a full sense of islam so that is the 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 so the french can go in pretending to be the neutral arbitrators bring peace and stability and 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 west and in germany it's part of the state strategy is to make sure that everyone is pointing fingers at everyone but the actual bitrate is off the economic crisis of police corruption or unjust an immoral foreign policy i.e. those in power in france. still ahead the war on terror rebranded us president barack

obama giving a major national security address renewing his promise to close guantanamo bay while defending targeted drone strikes expert opinion later in the program. but first in sweden the piece of the normally tribal scandinavian country was shattered as riots rage in the capital before hitting other cities now for seven nights in a row use from disadvantaged neighborhoods set fires to cars schools and police stations undeterred by a heavy police presence riots triggered after an elderly man was shot dead by police in a part of stockholm mostly populated by immigrants or peter all over has more. 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 a 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 swedish 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 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 what it creates type of gets wise ation of men so they move everyone from abroad into these parts of town when it comes to unemployment sweden is below average over the 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 to the situation the police can put these write 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. here is the syrian conflict could spread across the borders once again being being stoked this is a border area of syria lebanon and israel strewn with rocket fire just a day after the hezbollah leader back to side in the fight against rebels more to come in our program. but first a wave of protests against food giant monsanto rolled across the globe saturday with as many as two million people voicing anger at the corporation people marched in dozens of countries with activists accusing the biotech titan of suffocating small farmers out of business and pushing hazardous genetically modified to the

market while many are angry the legal protection the firm gets in a number of nations thanks to its extensive lobbying network monsanto itself maintains its products include agriculture and conserve resources. as well from new york throughout the world and in dozens of cities across the united states weekend of action against monsanto takes place were in the heart of the protests in the big apple where hundreds of people have been marching through the streets of the city demanding that monsanto put an end to its action the corporate giant the biotech global giant has been very controversial it's existed for over a century accused of genetically engineered and genetically modified food culture and food accused of turning a blind eye on the health consequences of the food that it produces and also 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 money how month santillan 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 then there may be no. the way to fully tackle that machine and even vote with monsanto monsanto and the government are one 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 and now global marches against monsanto what they're demanding is a labeling obvious 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 see churkin artsy new york. to our website are to dot com for an extensive report on how the day of action against monsanto played out across the globe and later this hour a chilling 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. this is a total struction of the culture in mexico i tell you what i mean this is not going to impact a swelling in mexico whatever happens here. we're eating at about six in the

in the marrow in the a in all boarding and so forth for. genetically engineered crops why do you think this country is full of obese and sick people because we have a crappy food system. wealthy british style. is not on. the. market why not.

and nine author and activist david swanson thinks the drone program is leaving too many unanswered questions he claims that he's 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 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 acts this is this is not transparency and if these reforms and limitations are needed on this program then what of the conduct of this program here too for is it not as criminal and

abusive as it appears president obama also renewed his pledge to close the guantanamo bay detention center promising to lift his own freeze on transferring detainees to yemen this is the hunger strike and the facility reaches its one hundred eleventh day more than one hundred prisoners currently protesting against indefinite detention and alleged inhumane treatment as many have still not been charged one former guard at the prison says is good most parents left him scarred. some of the some of the tactics that i saw practice in guantanamo i just never really want to wish to relive again oh mark potter and a number of other detainees said 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 is that 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 u.s. 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 u.s. look bad in the global perspective as it stands right now they've wasted so many millions of dollars of taxpayer money in guantanamo 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 that one where the. state a look now at some other stories making global headlines police used tear gas to disperse one hundred fifty thousand protesters at an anti gay marriage rally in the french capital demonstrators were angry at the country's new same sex marriage and adoption act that came into force a week ago they claim president alond is prioritizing the issue over the economy france is now the ninth country in europe to legalize gay marriage. at least twenty

four people including regional leaders from india's ruling congress killed in an ambush in the east of the country saturday the heavily armed gang of nearly three hundred maoist rebels felled please to block the twenty car convoy before detonating a landmine and raking the vehicles with gunfire the latest violence in the ongoing conflict between the maoists and authorities in central and eastern india. more than sixty people have been arrested following violent clashes at a techno music protest parade in the swiss capital burn more than twenty police officers were injured officers used water cannons and tear gas on anticapitalist moves one known as the black bloc clashes broke out when the protesters tried to tear down temporary barricades walk in parliament. reports of a merge of a cross border incident as a rocker a rocket has apparently been fired from lebanon toward israel this only two just

hours after two shells landed in a hezbollah controlled area of beirut sparking fears of the conflict in neighboring syria could be again spilling across the border at least five people wounded in the attack that came a day after the lebanese militant group's leader reiterated his support for the assad regime the free syrian army has denied any involvement middle east expert allie risible thinks the rebels are too divided or the words of one spokesperson to mean anything definitive. some members of the free syrian army deny that however there was one official who said that it has been a law you know its activity will lead to repercussions that would target but the northern city. tripoli and beirut international airport and that perhaps is an indicator that some of these opposition groups some of these syrian opposition groups are indeed involved in what happened today you have to remember that the free syrian army is in the one block so if one spokesman denies that it might very well be that another opposition are opposition group which also use the title fear

the free syrian army could have been involved in one of the rockets even landed here 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. institution it's a clearly an act of terrorism against the innocent civilians on anything and habited 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 moscow halting a deal to sell advanced anti-aircraft missiles to damascus that are worth up to a billion dollars out of fear they could fall into the wrong hands it over to our website for more on the aborted deal. and injured people rallied outside of north korea new south korean sorry newspaper's offices angry at comments it made about the atomic bombings of hiroshima and nagasaki i know what infuriated them on our website.

today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world. can see that. giant corporations rule today. a look at some of the possible dangers of genetically modified crops our special report on so-called frankenfood coming up. a u.s. senate committee has passed a bill that if signed by obama will allow the u.s.

to put a lot of weapons into the hands of syrian rebels this seems rather odd because many of the factions that are revolting seem like bad people to be arming in fact one rebel faction al nasra which according to the guardian is an islamist organization with links to al qaeda is quickly becoming the most powerful rebel faction of all of them the b.b.c. even declared that al nasra has been designated as a terrorist organization by the u.s. government itself. it started sounding like a bad idea to ship weapons into syria on american taxpayers' dollars yet let's just pretend that somehow all these weapons will magically not fall into the hands of al nasra while the free syrian army is that much better they seem perfectly happy to use rape and beheadings and genocide against christian alawite minorities with great glee to get what they want arming radical groups always has blowback if you remember back to just the one nine hundred eighty s. the us funded and armed the taliban and those mujahideen fighter guys and look how that turned out the us government seems way too eager to arm radical foreigners and

disarm average americans when they should be doing the exact opposite but that's just my opinion. to the crops to drink poison. eighty five percent of all the jim crow ups are sold with the herbicide that it's desired to die for. so brady soil is designed not to die from road genetic engineering is on the coat tail of conventional and culture that is characterized by the proliferation of chemicals fertilizers pesticides herbicides fungicides all of these chemicals. costs in on energy production they have cost in environmental cleanup this is

self-propagating genetic pollution we have the technology today to fully clean up the damaged gene pool maybe we will in the future. but we're not feeding the products of a good food science to the entire population and releasing me to the environment where they can never be recall. any scientists who tells you they know that g m o's are safe and not to worry about it is either ignorant of the history of science or is deliberately lying nobody knows what the long term effects will be geneticists dr david suzuki genetically engineered foods go through a rigorous review before they are approved the review includes analysis of the trams sharing plant versus its parent and there's a standard that you have to meet called substantial equivalence they have to be equivalent in terms and nutrients have to be equivalent in terms of processing they really have to be basically indistinguishable except for the transgenic trait the

concept of g m o's being substantially equivalent to comes from the first bush administration when under heavy industry lobbying it was decided that g m o's would be generally regarded as safe and not need testing as would befit a novel food or drug product this designation was given without a single long term food safety study backing it dmoz are on our plates because of a single sentence of the f.d.a. policy would says that the agency is not aware of any information showing that humans are significantly different and because of this sentence they say no safety testing is necessary they say that monsanto could put a g.m. crop on your plate without even telling the f.d.a. . because they said it was suited to tell you of the foods you say. you know you might say i'm talking about blood santo the same covertly that swore p.c.b.

were safe and got fired seven hundred million dollars for quietly poisoning the town in anniston alabama ticks the p.c.b. factory the monsanto the told us all know d.d.t. is safe it's good for us the same company that said agent orange was safe they are in charge of the safety of our food supply as far as i understand the industry doesn't get to choose what tests that there's a mandated series of criteria they've got to meet the industry doesn't select those . those are mandated by the regulatory agencies you know whether they're reading regulatory agencies or really examine these. to the best my knowledge they are i mean they the regulatory agencies i think take their jobs very seriously. soon after g.m. so i was introduced to the you can be soil or just skyrocketed by fifty percent my skin freaks.
