[000:00:00;00] a police in norway, se the bow and arrow rampage that killed 5 in columns burg appears to be a terrorist attack. adding that the suspects had converted to islam and was previously flagged over signs of radicalization. also ahead a, at least 6 people reported killed and dozens wounded in bay route out. the government opened fire to protest over the investigation into last year's deadly port explosion. damned if they do damned if they don't to australian police by the brunt of public anger at government tactics to watch over anti locked down. activists. the tight restrictions have driven a wedge through society. there they come to light at night. they knock on your door,

of course it's the inappropriate because it seems like it's always those assigned people being targeted. i do not see this as intimidation, as all the actual activities of the police was entirely justified. and the u. s. vice president attempt to interact with children to boost her image backfires in a nasa video. as it's revealed, it was entirely staged. ah, a loan from moscow was just turned 1 in the morning on friday, here in the russian capital on calibrate where the world views from our t this our 1st to norway where security services say the bow and arrow attack in the town of combs berg on wednesday the appears to be an act of terror. 5 people were killed with police saying the suspect as it was earlier flagged over signs of radicalization. the authorities,

a warning that the threat of similar attacks has not passed. while the incidents in cons bird currently appeared to be an act of terrorism, the investigation led by the se police district were clarify or more detail with the incidents were motivated by the threat level and norway still considered moderate police questioning that 37 year old man suspected of killing 5 individuals, we understand that he was already known to the police. they visited him after he'd converted to islam. and there had been some concerns that he may have been radically. so this isn't individual that the police were aware of that attack took place in the tight, close knit community of cons. berg, which is around 70 kilometers to the west of oslo and started in a supermarket. so normal wednesday night and what we understand ensued was scenes of chaos as people were desperately trying to flee. or we understand that in the supermarket, there was an off duty police officer. and we know that the authorities,

the police were at called very quickly, and they were on the scene about 6 minutes after the attack started at with the use of that bow and arrow. now over the next 30 minutes, the police were trying to hunt down the suspected attacker. they were closing parts of the area and searching through people's gardens. and in that period that 30 minutes, we understand that the 5 individuals were targeted and killed. now it's not clear whether they were killed by the use of the bow and arrow because there is a suggestion from the authorities, and that the 37 year old suspected danish citizen may have used other weapons as well as to yet, though those have not been identified now, bowen, arrow seems like an odd choice, but it's not an illegal weapon in no way, nor is it something that would have to be registered if you bought one. but it does apparently only be allowed to be used in certain circumstances such as in archery.

so an unusual choice. but as i say, we understand that there were other weapons as well. that used as the police were trying to hunt this suspect down. now as a result of what is now being described isn't always latest terror attack at the police across the country have been asked to carry firearms just as a proportion. however, for the moment we understand the national threat level in norway is going to remain the same. it won't change as of yet as a result of this terror attack. it's the largest terror attack that no way he's seen in just over 10 years. the last one being of course and is perfect, carrying out those double attacks in 2011 in the summer of that year and not just on or slow, but also in your toy island with 77 people losing their lives and hundreds injured in that attack for the moment though, we understand the police are trying to find out more details as what exactly

motivated this latest terror attack as that 37 year old remains in custody. suspected of killing 5 individuals in norway, former british military intelligence officer, philip ingram. talk to us earlier about the unusual weapon used in the attack. the 1st time i believe that turbo and arrow has been used um the dns or noise ups across the globe, we could potentially see copycat type attacks. bows and arrows are not regulated in many countries across the world, and in the same way that rifles firearms are. and therefore, it's something that a certain job groups will be jumping off and on the boats on trying to actively encourage other people to go out and do the same thing, and they have been active through the whole of mocked on rather radicalized people further training. people further, i'm trying to encourage people to carry out attacks once locked on his off resembling a board own more than

a capital city. gunman opened fire on thursday in bay roofs targeting supporters of sheer group has galler 6 people that confirmed dead and dozens mobile wounded. the demonstrators have been protesting against the judge leading the investigation into the vast chemical blast the level large parts of that city. last year, the military was deployed to the protests and exchanged fire with the government. 9 people have been detained. a local reporter linda to mean spoke to the program earlier about what happened in the cities, worst street violence in 13 it well, so far the situation seems to have come down just lightly, but again, it's very volatile. gunfire can erupt at any moment. now we know that that situation is quite fragile. there. what happened?

well we know that amal and has the lab protesters to, to the street in protests of, you know, keeping judge started because of the has investigator in the black probe. they were headed to the justice palace and idly, and they were met with gunfire, reportedly called, according to local records coming from mind that many were trying to fight an iconic location. knowing that is where the civil war started back in 1975. now we don't know exactly who started this shooting of investigations are ongoing, and we know that the lebanese army is heavily deployed in the area and they're trying to find the shooters behind this. and we also know that they warrant they will, should have any gun men in the area, and they also advised every single civilian to evacuate the area as well. we also saw a very touching footage of army men removing school children and helping them to safety

. so i'm telling you no child deserves to go through this. we have a number of injuries that have been rushed to hospital, some of them in critical condition. so the situation is looking good at all. australia is slowly emerging from some of the toughest and longest coven restrictions in the world. but those are the have to enforce the rules of bearing the brunt of public frustration. especially when they go to people's homes, to question them about it. a a with being on social media approaches on tuesday. you agree that you put some posts on facebook then this will legalize yep. yep. so the question,

the thing right is when you there. so you are gonna plan perfect or event coming up here? no, no. okay, you are really communication around between people about the plan that's coming out with our guests. if they see the place is so called welfare checks on citizens as a warranted measure, just targeting these will say checks on people that my political statements or organize place full rallies, dot com like knowledge right there, knock on your door and i tell you that a that they do know welfare check or that they've received an anonymous tip off

that on your, your organizing a protest or that your posting anti government propaganda on high school or instagram. so of course, it's a inappropriate because it seems like it's always there to sign people being targeted. i do not see this as intimidation. as all the actual activity of the place was entirely justified. the people that operated does the people who call themselves freedom fighters that are indeed the very opposite. they are people who want to do what they want to do and they do not realize that their actions are doing is putting everyone else at risk. people have just had enough and the more they keep us look down more and more people will protest and it seems the more and more of these welfare checks will happen. the police are turning out the door of

women of mothers with kids and arresting them because they put up something on facebook that the government didn't agree with. and i've been here for 4 months without leaving my house except to get groceries. we would all like to be have, i would like to visit my family, leave a long way away. but the reality is that as tired as we are, if we come together is the community. if we understand what citizenship is really all about, then what you do is you do what you can do your community and the law that you do that. the more likely that you will get out sooner. people who protest against people who are called freedom forces, undoing the very opposite while policing across the ocean and out of the 12 big us cities who've approve their budgets for next year. 9 of them, a spending more on law enforcement,

new york's new budget increases spending for their police department by some $200000000.00. while in los angeles, $41000000.00 has been added off, the funding was cut following beat george floyd riot. and the mayor of dallas in texas has reversed police cuts and gone a step further as well, openly stating that the city needs to hire far more police officers. now these cities are wrapping their budgets to deal with a key problem that of their rising crime rates over the past 12 months. and start with new york in september there figures, but it's overall crime rate at higher than the same month a year ago. and that was after nearly a $1000000000.00 were shifted from the force last year. los angeles has suffered this year as well, culminating and having the most homicides in july and more than 10 years. and dallas, who we mentioned earlier, that's dealing with a rise in violent crime when last year. homicides in the city were up by a quarter. the highest point in 2 decades are all the cities slash their police budgets last year. following the murder of george floyd and the subsequent defun,

the police movement, the same movement that instigated violent riots across the u. k. u s. ah ah ah. well, let's get some thoughts on that now. then with retired u. s. police officer, now author dominic as oh, welcome to the program. are you surprised that the money's coming back in? no bye. i'm not whatsoever mitchie a. there was a political move in the 1st place. very bad decision and i think more money is going to have to come in to make up for what's going on, or the cities reacting to like i get it. that budget's done

a year in advance or whatever and that set out for a year. but when crime is going up by such a rate, presumably there are some funds that these police forces can dip into to tackle it to keep the community safe. i think was the biggest problems as people don't realize what the defending the police movement was doing in the 1st place. and the number one reason is going to fight it. you're, you're educating when training police officers, right? we already have it. we do have a problem with bad apples and law enforcement, and we need to have a stricter hiring policy. we need to have better training with people's keep thinking that long foresman your, your 1st responder, st cup, is the number one, prevention to solve all crime problems when they're not looking at the judges are not looking at the public defender's are not looking at that. the judicial system and they're, they're thinking that either taking away or putting more funding in has them solve these problems in the 1st place. it's, it is such a ridiculous problem. it's never going to end, but it's, it's political. it is purely political and that's the biggest problem we're having because there were a lot of cities that felt pressured by the d from the police move it when they made

those budget cuts. she think. and i know hindsight to great thing, but he thinks some leaders should have been more concerned with making sure communities was safe rather than with popularity that it was slightly misguided. people didn't want that money going to that police. they just wanted better police . well, that's their job, the mirrors and elected officials, the mares more worried about keeping their job and doing their job. it's a 100 percent. what it is. they're more worried about political favor and how they're being viewed the public and doing their job, which is hired to manage a city manager village and keep the citizens safe in the 1st place, the 100 percent from what do you think that there weren't more leaders who may be trying to find a middle ground head to say to the d from the police move. and that was clearly angry for good reason that we weren't gonna cut the police funding, but perhaps we need to tie it to targets to reforms that, that didn't happen. so much i think that this movement wasn't created over night. i think the softening of, of a police tactics and the pandering to criminals over the last 2 decades has led to

this area. it's the tooth paste is already been squeezed out. you can't put it back in. so if you take a hard stance over what's been happening last 20 years, you're gonna, i don't know, there's too many elected officials who are strong enough to make their stance the 1st place. but this is, this was a slow burn. it finally led up to an answer. the answer was political pressure. some, some towns and cities answer to that and they saw the consequences of that action. so to answer question, i don't know. i don't know if there's anybody strong enough to stand up to other people who elected them office in 1st place, given that we haven't seen much in the way of e d from the police, a protests or even any anger over the refund. the defendant, if that makes any sense, do you think that it has run out of steam? now? politically wise, yes. because in, in the united states specifically, you know, we have democrats or elected office, it was a leverage tactic. it's always going to be vilified on your 1st responders because are the easiest ones to wind up blaming for a problem that you're elected officials and your judicial judicial system is

accountable for. let's blame the cops it's, it's always around an election cycle. so we'll see this again, probably mid term 122, and then again in 2024. what do you think's going to be the spot for that then dominate because it will be hard to think that all of a sudden that those communities who felt that they were being underserved by that police force is a suddenly ok with it'll it'll be another sparked i show of racism. it's a great broken record. it's a great tactics they always use. they'll continue to use it. always. ok. good to talk to dominic as i retired us police officer. now thanks for joining us on. naughty. thank you. still to come to the fullest in the russian president reveals his thoughts on crypto currencies and a $1.00 to $1.00 interview at the russian energy week. for him, we'll tell you more about that after the break. ah

ah, is your media a reflection of reality? ah, in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? high selection, whole community. are you going the right way or are you being led to somewhere? direct? what is true was is great. in the world corrupted you need to descend have join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. join me every thursday on the alex, simon, sure. but i'll be speaking to guess of the world of politics, sport, business, i'm sure business. i'll see you then.

ah ah, you as vice president getting mocked over a clip of her talking to some children which was posted by nasa, the youngsters in the video planning a trip to an observatory. we've pamela harris, giving them some encouragement. turns out that the whole thing was staged with child actors and auditions were held, his ortiz, he goes down of us, vice president carmella harris is allegedly making an effort to put a friendly face reports a she wants to see more relate, several more appealing, come across as the true candidate of the people you guys are the see. you're in a, literally the craters on me with your own. i. when your own,

i'm telling you it is gonna be unbelievable. so that's one of the things you can do here say, which makes it so exciting. well, firstly, some apple ready argued iris has failed miserably in this video. and secondly, the views of the clip that you just sure did not take kindly to the revelation that harris's interactions with the children were apparently all scripted after one kid came forward, saying that he had to audition for the part well, little bit. just like hollywood, in fact, a hollywood like smile and even giggles have regularly been the go to solution for harris when faced with cry, sees it at it before it became an obvious public disaster. she tried to become the star of the u. s. troop withdrawal from afghanistan, reality show,

president biden always said that he wanted to be the last person in the room, particularly for a big decisions just as he was for president obama. he just made a really big decision. afghanistan, yes. are you the last person in the room? yes. you feel comfortable? i don't. well, that was right before further. you started to pool from the war torn country. oh footage like this. ah. and furnish like this. ah. and like this that was when the vice president, when suddenly a wall to resurface later though to brush the whole thing off with this. not everybody i oh,

but of course it's like thousands of people were gilbert and it's a nightmare scenario for african women. of course not when joe biden made the migrant crisis on the southern boards a camel harris, his personal responsibility, it took her months just to get there. and here's the explanation. she came up with whole thing about the board. we've been to the board, we've been to the board, you haven't deliver. i and i haven't been to europe. and i thought, i don't understand the point it's making see, she hasn't been to europe though. what does that have to do with her job to handle? one of america's worst ever, board of problems ran in yours is a little bit. and if you think about it, camelot harris fits perfectly into the now very political hollywood crowd. and just like silver screen superstars, sometimes she just misses the target with some of her statements just a few days ago with becky israel,

which i think people have that that again. and again, this is about the fact that your voice, your perspective, your experience, your truth, and then just like a good agency, her office has to clear the air while visiting george mason university to discuss votes and writes a student voice to personal opinions during the political science class, the vice president strongly disagree with the student characterization of for israel smile than hand change. so they work miracles when you're making a movie career. but harris seems to have forgotten her role as vice president is a very different one. a russia is not using gas as a weapon and is willing to supply even more fuel if you're of asked for it. as remarks from vladimir putin has been reasserting the countries position at the russian energy, weak international forum, the president,

without to dispel what he called false narratives about the country's strategy on the global energy market. want to ask you about it directly. has russia been using energy as a weapon? russia's not using any weapons. if you've been paying attention, as for the economy, where are we using weapons in what conflicts are we taking part and for the economy? this is not something we tend to use. this is what i call a politically motivated talk. at the end of the day, i guess the question is, how can you expect europe to believe you're a reliable energy partner when you're not supplying that energy via the pipeline, but she revenged, you're a beautiful woman. but i'm saying one thing to you, and you're saying a different thing to me as if you haven't heard what i said, well mister president, i mean, what was the same point was you and you said that you are not supplying gas through pipelines to europe, but actually, you are mistaken, you are mistaken. and all of those who feed on the information they receive, we are actually increasing our supplies to europe. despite some misunderstandings

between the d. mapleton in the american news anchor moderating that panel. the russian leda gave the cnbc finance channel an exclusive interview on the forum, sidelines that he shared his thoughts on the controversial orca security pack between australia. britain of the u. s. as well as his own political future and crypto currency. to lift currencies can be an accounting unit, but they're very unstable. may be for transferring funds from one place to another . ok, but for trade, especially energy resources, in my opinion is premature crypto currencies for now are not backed by anything but ago, but all things are developing. anything has a right to exist with. we'll look at how it's going to go. maybe when it becomes a store value, but we see how volatile this market is. then you're looking for some reason of closed blocks, including the one between the u. s. u. k. and australia definitely undermines regional stability because in my opinion, being friendly with each other is good,

but to be friends against someone that's bad, it undermines the stability we all talk and care about. yeah. like you, i prefer not to answer such questions, talks about it, or to stabilizing the situation. the situation should be call so that all authorities can work with certainty. yes, the constitution does allow me to do it to run for another term, but no decisions have been made on that yet. the 3rd generation women's forum kicked off in st. petersburg early this week. it's the 1st time the events been held and that she is focus is on the role of women in building a stable and secure future. and one of the highlights, the events sofa was a greeting from the stars. actress julia penicillin addressed to participants on thursday from a bowl the international space station where she is currently shooting the wolves. first fill in only the form which ends on friday features a rage of web it out. workshops and discussions on the specific challenges faced by women today. polydactyly may put an address also address guests of the event
