norway because here in norway you are a small country five million people everybody is affected by this everybody knows someone who is affected by the atrocious attacks of twenty second july so that anything that he says in court just kind of seems hideous the big debate here in norway is whether he will be be charged as a criminally insane or not in any respects he will be. behind bars for probably the rest of his life i can imagine though outside of norway there will be one might imagine that there are in via mail your environmental extremists that might look upon this in a different point of view and of course maybe somebody will take his ideology to hearten propaganda further on but here in norway that really is not an issue the issue here is rather supposed to all the victims in the case and whether it is. and it's. their rights and how they will react to it that's been the issue of whether and to what extent should be allowed to go on with the court case in the court case he has a monster this called an rumors that witnesses extremist witnesses both from the extremist right side a

and the reason why society is necessary to hear him, to listen and to understand what -- in norway, we have the me troll, they are growing bigger in the darkness in the mountains. this is some things in life that you fear most. but then they are getting them into the daylight. it's possible to fight them and destroy them. i think it's a kind of the same way i feel in this case. >> because in a sense, your daughter was powerless last summer. she sits in that courtroom. he is surrounded by police. it is the survivors who got the power now as he is put on trial. >> yeah, i know that was a good thing for my daughter to see him yesterday. last time she saw him and felt him. he was in control. he had the power. he had the power of life and death on them. yesterday it was the society who has the power and he was the man who should answer his terrible acting last year. >> and i know your daughter is at university in england. >> that's right. >> but she felt she had to come back to norway for this moment? >> she felt she had to come back. she had to come back for herself and for her friends. bu

norway's journalists and members of parliament. facing tough questioning he refused to apologize for killing people that he views as being linked to the government and therefore the current policy allowing muslim immigrant into norway. >> the attack on so many young people, just the start of a campaign to overthrow the government and replace it with an extreme authority that would put an end to norway's multicultural society. but outside the courthouse more and more flowers now are appearing in memory of those that died and in defiance of his blood thrifty ideology which has so shocked this country. >> from libya to egypt to syria. we have watched revolutions unfold and we have seen women stirring change. they have been at the front of the demonstrations risking their lives, new leaders and new rights. perhaps nobody has more riding on the outcome of the arab spring than the women who lived under oppression and now hope for freedom. will they get it? egyptian american journalists asks why do they hate us. she warns the rights of wo

this remains the top news in norway. it is billing the newspapers this week. it is a story everyone is following. there are some people that it is reopening the wounds of what happened more than eight months ago. some people believe welcome the trial so that it can be over as soon as possible so they can put this behind them and move on. >> do we know whether he will call witnesses for his side of that the fence? >> he will call in number of witnesses, and clearly a number of extremists. he wants to prove that his view of the world come of the world in which there is war, is not the view of a madman. that there are other people that have extremist views, too. he wants to prove he is not insane. he said he is ready to go to prison. >> thank you. u.s. embassy in nigeria has issued a warning that the radical sect baby planning attacks on hotels frequently visited by westerners. they have recently been responsible for bombings in northern nigeria in an attempt to destabilize the government. north korea says the deal with the u.s. to avoid nuclear tests is now void

beyond that even the prime minister of norway mr stoltenberg. came up and said that hugh he certainly would like it if if the if the court decided that he was sane it seems to me that in a in a country that respects the law in order you should first determine whether or not mr bray because even if it is crazy or saying enough to stand trial. and that's the problem i guess we're going to know more tomorrow or the ball the psychiatrist will the psychologist will know more tomorrow when he gives his statement it isn't going to be broadcast but if it will be able to be accessible in print is there a danger it might still end up in spying other attacks after hearing what he's got to say. i don't think so i frankly speaking can't think so i think this is a one off. i don't consider this my answer be to be. the saints head i mean you have to remember that the mr gravy. mr brady. declares himself the pete king secrets of the second you know the crusader was on which i'm king from the early twentieth century and now he claims to be his his successor he's

but in norway where christian and terrorists anders breivik murdered seventy seven innocent civilians most of them children who he says by the way he killed because they looked like liberals his words the people there refused to succumb to fear even though breivik isn't alone there are plenty of hate filled racists in norway just like there are pretty much every other country in the world but rather than screaming about terror and fear and calling for brother head on a stake rather than installing michael chertoff x. ray pour on scanners in their government buildings rather than classifying their children and their elderly as potential gun loving maniacs or terrorists who are going to blow up their planes in our region people had a quite different answer. instead of cowering in fear the way george bush and dick cheney would have us do in our waging people decided to sing a song. today is the brother trial unfolds in there by courthouse over forty thousand norwegians huddled together in the streets to sing a folk so. it was a folk song that breivik himself condemned claiming that it wa

breivik takes the stand tomorrow. >> remembering a terrifying day in norway. this weekend, a brazen taliban offensive across afghanistan has provoked a withering assessment of both the afghan and the nato intelligence services by president hamid karzai. he says they have failed in their efforts to deflect the attacks, which are being blamed on the haqqani network. more than 50 people died in the fighting that saw one of the most secure districts of kabul, under siege. the bbc is in the capital. >> this is one of the fiercest -- one of the scenes of the fiercest battles in kabul. the insurgents used this as a firing position to attack the nearby british and chairman embassies -- german embassies. president karzai is calling it a huge intelligence failure by both nato and afghan security forces. the insurgents were able to repeat the same tactics they used to lay siege to the american embassy last year, again, just a short distance away. afghan security forces eventually brought things under control here and under the -- hear and that the parliament. it was an a

well i mean i think the first thing we need to examine the numbers the number of muslims in norway is actually is actually rather small the notion of a very small percentage of the population is going to overwhelm our i'm not sure larger percentage seems to me frankly ludicrous there are conference in europe where if you will you have millions of of muslims many of which are fully integrated and many of which are spies western values but there are minorities. among some muslim communities that have the same delusions a norwegian killer has that they're actually under some threat from being if you want from the indigenous white population but there have been radical islamist attacks in europe most recently of course includes france but where is the first large scale far right attack from what you think in your work how many people in europe sare those kind of cues that we've seen from breivik. i mean perfect who unfortunately was politically successful is not the only person who actually. has an engaged in these kind of attacks we we had the case the decade ago in the united kingdom wh

the country is norway.member how in 2010 an independent norwegian panel gave the nobel peace prize to a chinese dissident. despite intense pressure from beijing, they made a decision they thought was right, but he was not allowed to go to oslo to receive his award, so the committee went ahead and presented the prize to an empty chair. beijing was not pleased. it decided to make oslo pay. it suspended talks on a free trade agreement and barred imports of salmon from norway. the two countries stopped talking. but beijing overstepped its reach. china's economy may be 15 times the size of norway's, but it accounts for less than 2% of norway's exports. the two are 4,000 miles apart, and norway is an oil-rich country that is well run, invests in its people, and is thriving in the global economy. it doesn't need special favors from china. now consider this ironic twist. china wanted to bully norway to do its bidding, but now china wants to join the arctic council, a powerful for forum that controls energy and secu

. >> the extremist accused of carrying out norway's worst mass murder cried as he went on trial. when prosecutors showed the anti-muslim videos anders behring breivik had made, he showed no remorse for the attacks, saying he made them in self-defense. the families of the victims were in court as the prosecution showed in detail how breivik planned and carried out the massacre. >> the mastermind of norway's suffering was handcuffed. he seemed relaxed, eager. he always wanted this, a chance to present his views in public. he started with a salute to the far right. no remorse. and for the first time in court, we heard the voice of the killer. >> i acknowledge the acts, but i do not plead guilty. i was doing it in self-defense. >> he says the bomb in oslo that killed eight and his massacre on the nearby island of utoeya were the opening shots in a war, war against multiculturalism, against political parties that support immigration. the prosecution named every one of his victims'. it took them almost an hour. slightly less time than it took him to kill 69 people on the island. among

he went on and said, "many others in norway deserve to be executed. journalists and members of parlaiment." breivik refused to apologize for killing those linked to the goverment, and the policy of allowing muslim immigrants into norway. >> the attack on so many, he said, was the attacstart of a campaign to overthrow the goverment. against norway'sa multicultural society. more flowers appear, in defiance of breivik's bloodthirsty ideology. bbc news, oslo. >> from libya to egypt to syria. as we watched revolution unfolds, women are at the front, risking their lives for new leaders and rights. few have more riding on the outcome than women who live under oppression. egyptian-americnan journalists ask, "why do they hate us?" she joins me now from new york. thank you for joining me with this powerful article. >> women have been on the front lines of every revolution we witnessed in the region, since mohammed lit himself on fire in 2010. in syria, where we see courage with men, ior in tunisia, women are front and center alongside men. it is important we th

after a while, he employed business full-time in norway, and he got off his premises at peters street, number 17. he closed the operations of this company in the course of the first six months of 2006. i said earlier that the sales of these fake documents generated considerable income for breivik. a lot of the income was not subjected to income. the establishment was limited a tax haven on 8 june 2004 to do money laundering of this income. this company was closed in february 2006. thus far i have been focusing on places where he lived, his education, and work. but there are also events in breivik's life that take place during the above-mentioned period. because of that, i will close this time period by taking some references to breivik's participation in political activities and the free mason movement. as for his political activities, breivik in 1997, while he was in the second grade of oslo, upper secondary commercial school, he became a member of the progress party youth. a couple years later, in january 1999, he became a registered member of the progress party. he had several elec
