myself and another person out and then captain ron johnson pointed at the two of butts and said these two get heavier charges not just failure to disperse there is great worry about people here continuing to stand up and demand justice and that's why the police rules and regulations are changed right now people can't stand in congregate anywhere they have to keep moving in the protest area and if they are not walking fast enough in the protest area they get threatened with arrest people who go up to cops and go hands up don't shoot get accused of rowdy provocative behavior and in some cases arrested and that reflects fear not only on the part of the local authorities but on the part of the whole system of people being subjected to this abuse which is a nationwide thing it's not just here in ferguson and they are afraid that the defiance spirit of the youth in ferguson could infect people all across the u.s.
12:16 pm
. another story of police brutality this time in europe is coming up after a short break. those who want to get involved to stop isis in iraq are allied with isis in syria and we still should be doing everything we can to support the free syrian opposition we will continue to provide military assistance and advice to the iraqi government and kurdish forces as they battle these terrorists.

several people while one man was hit by a fan several people were arrested a planned dryly against the far right party spiraled out of control in the city of us clashes erupted between police and protesters it all started when iran fifteen hundred activists gathered to disrupt a speech by the leader of the swedish neo nazi party tension mounted when firecrackers and smoke bombs were thrown on rest come. ahead of the country's parliamentary vote for more insight into the incident plant's course live now to victor dyess the chairman of the communist party of sweden. sending in a month to the riot police to nonviolent disturbance out of protest isn't all that just somewhat over the top well we don't. it's not customary to do that in sweden so that's why many people of every show but the incident not police brutality seems to be a problem around the world you may have heard the stories were running just earlier
12:19 pm
in missouri for example how does that happen that the people who are supposed to protect citizens turn in them instead. well i think it's about a difficult situation in different countries we have seen the many protests not only against new nazis but against new liberal policies and we have seen a lot of fights demonstrations so i believe that police or the state are trying to seize control. europe and also in the united states well in the malvo case at least ten people ended up in hospital do you believe that the police will be held accountable for their actions and not. in sweden they're never police accountable for these sorts of things we have seen situations similar to this several times. and. right now we're actually closely following. the protests that are underway today are we going to see
12:20 pm
a similar response from police do you believe i don't believe so i believe that the police it's been a lot of controversy to what's happened yesterday and so i think the police will be not so brutal there will be on the contrary i think it will be very calm and it all began didn't it when a neo nazi leader was making a speech in public despite the clear opposition to this doesn't mean that particular party has become somewhat politically respectable in sweden no i don't i don't think it's about that i think it's about the elections we have seen many protests against the new nazis groups three or four months. to you know this kind of paralysis to be disturbed. very hard to seize control just like the case in ferguson. just before they want to control the situation.
12:21 pm
to be called just briefly finally mr differently swedes are heading to the polls in september for parliamentary elections how well will the far right to in your opinion. i believe that. they will gain a couple of percentage years but that's not the real problem the real problem is that all the parties just seems to be afraid of losing a couple of percent this year and then trying to take over their policies victor dyess differently chairman of the communist party of sweden thank you for your input this hour. the world was left in shock this week by the barbarous to capitation of an american journalist by jihadists from the islamic state adding to the horror was the realisation that the man holding the blade was actually a radicalized briton artie's under a farmer reports on the aftershocks the tragedy sent around the globe. the brutal

killing of an american journalist by a british citizen grizzly footage posted online showing james foley beheaded by an islamic state militant his execution is speaking in english with an english accent blaming recent days strikes by america in iraq we are in a slump and a state that has been accepted by a large number of muslims worldwide it prompted the british prime minister to cut short his holiday while ten downing street called the brutal murder shocking and to pray but it's also prompted calls by some m.p.'s for the west to rethink its policy in syria and iraq we have blood supplied some stuff in terms of communication to these people all of these people got a hold of this but only. types of niceness type who are now turned into a formidable force however foreign secretary philip hammond made it very clear there will be no change in britain's approach but i reject any suggestion that
12:23 pm
british foreign policy is providing any kind of excuse for what i salute doing i still has a poisonous ideology we will support moderate. secular democratic oppositions to murderous dictatorships whether it's by sil all whether it's the assad regime in syria but the brutal murder of james foley has raised other all good questions for the government namely the growing number of britons fighting alongside jihadists around four hundred thought to have taken up arms in syria and iraq and some experts believe it's a tide that will be difficult to reverse the counter extremism units have not been very effective and the reason they're not very effective is because they're dealing in a framework which they cannot change they cannot change the social situation of many young minority brits in this country they cannot change the foreign policy of great britain and given those. limitations it's unsurprising that they have been unable
12:24 pm
to fix the situation on their own last year britain was shocked by the horrific killing of british soldier lee rigby outside his london barracks hacked to death by two u.k. nationals who converted to islam and claimed they were avenging the deaths of muslims killed by british forces but despite the outrage that followed hundreds of britons have continued to join the islamic state while there's been widespread condemnation of that you have this it is clear they do have their sympathizes and for britain still very close to home. and. r.t. london. the u.k. is far from alone in having citizens ready to fight alongside the jihad as an iraq and syria be islam mix they consider too brutal even by al qaeda as cultivating an ever increasing fund base in europe in france the poll suggests fifteen percent of the population support the islamic state and a third of those are rage between eighteen and twenty four meaning the extremist

12:27 pm
trust me i like video games you could tell from my physique but they like all media can distort reality in the minds of kids and one swedish journalist in something very unusual to step his kids back into the real world journalist carl magnus held in sun seemed almost addicted to the legendary military first person shooter game call of duty so since they like killing people online with guns he decided to take them to the gaza strip to show them what war is all about mr helder and brought his boys to a refugee camp where they could see injured kids just like themselves getting their wounds to stop they got to see all the blood and tears apparently this in your face method of parenting works and his children have stopped their online war this strategy might sound a little extreme and we're all very expensive i can't afford to fly my family to israel to prove a point but sometimes we all the to be smacked in the face with reality as a man there's something attractive about roman conquests our ranks of musket fire and a pulley on
12:28 pm
a conflicts those images are nice but the reality is blood and death and if more kids could have the same experience as a healthy family well we might have less war mongers around but that's just my opinion. as laughing at america because every single day jamie diamond think that is the american economy shows up the bloody great did you know that and they're saying oh it wasn't me that it wasn't me that this time. he loves the us the world will. thanks. yeah. as a baby jordan was just

12:30 pm
