of course you know norway has a huge role in the missions. forces in afghanistan where you know the trustees against civilians are happening all the time this is well if this is blowback if it's the reaction of the world to the kind of atrocities that are being committed by norway and other places in the world which includes sudan afghanistan libya lebanon somalia uganda and they were previously involved in iraq that wouldn't be surprising either afghan in afghanistan norway has committed to claims to the bombing in libya and norway is deeply involved in in the i sat as i said in afghanistan going to get the truth about the atrocities were committed in afghanistan by the nato forces which norway's part of the region has been criticized by some of the harboring of potential terrorists it's in no way now suffering the consequences of its well known liberalism. well you know it's home to the note to the nobel peace prize to the norway committee that gave the nobel peace prize to barack obama i mean what are they thinking i had just begun his cha

how have the people of norway reacted to this terrible event and one of the government's response to the attacks yes well police have told people to stay out of the city center to avoid using mobile phones the exits to the borders of norway which shots immediately after the blast and roads leading into and trains leading into the capital we're also halted now we've we've heard that soldiers are on the streets with machine guns police also and it's being called the worst attack since world war two perhaps the worst shooting spree in history. ok bushell thank you for that update. well for more on the possible motives behind the attacks let's cross live now to keith harmon snow u.s. based war correspondent and dependent investigator i thank you for joining us on r.t. . can you can you hear us actually yes you can yes officials in norway have described the attacks as the work of a mad men could individual crime on such a scale in your opinion. well when you have a cultural war and a society that's involved in the production of war such as norway then the likelihood that an individual wou

helped in organizing international front against terrorism and norway. is not actually being a safe haven for terrorists i would say this way but they maybe don't understand the whole severity of the problem they're going to face. a lot of theories about who may be responsible tonight is a sad one groups come forward that doesn't necessarily mean that they have done this or maybe as you say just just crushing it on the very unfortunate publicity around it i mean also think about the prophet muhammad cartoons that were published back in two thousand and six in denmark now the republic by a norwegian paper last year beginning of a twenty ten could that be anything to do with it at the time in norway it did cause a fuss again we all remember what happened back in two thousand and six with your last post and well i'm just wondering with a similar thing could be happening here now in norway and maybe you know they've taken a year or two the people with a grudge to bear about this to have their revenge you know i've been studying terrorist activities for over

rush biliteral sure not as a norway and. homegrown terrorism groups you know so-called chechen terrorism in russia is not basically chechen in its origin russia as well as norway is a victim of imported terrorism you know most terrorism that committed their awful crimes in russia the come from abroad the same story happens in norway unfortunately just to recap norway has been shaken by two terror attacks first the center of oslo the capital hit by a huge bomb blast damaged parliamentary buildings including the prime minister's office or at least seven people were killed though the prime minister himself was on harmed next a gunman went on a shooting spree at a youth camp eyewitnesses report at least twenty people there may have been killed police say they suspect the man arrested for the shooting is linked to the bombing in the capital state secretary christian amundson so the situation is the worst his country has experienced since the second world war prime minister against oldenburg has called an emergency government cris

the prime minister is the head of the labor party here in norway. it seemed very targeted toward the government and toward maybe the party -- that party especially, without knowing exactly why that party has been targeted. >> thank you. and for more on who may have been behind this -- these attacks, you can -- let's go to frank gardner in london. what is your analysis based on the information we have so far? >> i have to say the right now it is looking more like a timothy mcveigh style attack. the mayor also told us a short while ago that the same person carried out the bombing in central oslo and then two hours later the shooting spree on the island. the distance is only about 3445 minutes. the attacks were separated by two hours -- only about 30 to 45 minutes. the attacks were separated by two hours. the chief suspect, the man who has been arrested while shooting, they have a mass of living klum in their hands. i would expect that in the next 24 hours we will have a preliminary statement. i would expect him to be charged. it remains to be seen wha

in france in denmark in norway if you sort of look back through the years. certainly one has given safe haven to people who should never never have got to an asylum one is not surprised that this has happened and we have seen it several times we saw it nine eleven middle of london we have seen the failed attacks on copenhagen and now in norway and of course the european governments and also the you know we didn't governments have to sort of rethink the frame of mind to culture european m.p. for the u.k. independence party gerrard bad things europe has invited terrorism with policy of unlimited immigration cultural. i think that in many ways we invited this problem because hand in hand with mass unlimited immigration into prices like britain and also into into places like denmark and sweden and norway not quite as bad as ours but by a large amount of immigration we've actually also had this policy of multiculturalism and i like to draw a distinction if i can between what i call private multiculturalism and public state sponsored multiculturalism private multi

norway depends very much on oil and gas. and according to the police, the least one of the people involved in the bombing attack was able to drive down to the island, get out of the car, get on to the island, and opened fire. he was armed with several weapons and fired off a lot of bullets. >> that was our correspondent on his way to the island with the very latest. a member of the norwegian labor party, she was taking part in the youth camp on the island. she witnessed the shootings and describe what happened. >> most people ran down in the forest. and we sat there together in small groups of all across how the side. and we heard shooting. lots of shooting. we were calling our families and the police. and suddenly, somebody said that the police is here. we are safe now. we saw a man with a police uniform coming down the hill towards people. he started shooting people. that is when the group i was then turned around and we ran for our life. we just jumped in the water. >> when you thought the were safe, that turned out to be

in france in denmark in norway if you sort of look back through the years. certainly one has given safe haven to people who should never never have got an asylum one is not surprised that this has happened and we have seen it several times we saw it nine eleven met with. we have seen the failed attacks on copenhagen and now in norway and of course the european governments and also the you know we didn't governments have to sort of rethink the frame of mind to culture . spokes watermark over the history lecture from oxford university told me norway's involvement in nato military campaigns could be another reason the army attack. the most likely explanation is that norway's involvement as a nato member in on actions by and nato from libya to afghanistan will have been the basis for some backlash now whether that by flash comes from a libyan group or more generally from an islamic group or to his holster or to region major involvement. is what we see at the scene and i have to say we should remember that back in oklahoma city mention ninety five one was a huge

why do you think norway has been targeted here we talked if we don't know if these . attacks are linked in any way for al qaeda comes to mind doesn't it was i think it could well be that there is a. people who sympathize with. routinely and you can call al qaeda who don't like the actions of norway and its allies around the world not least in afghanistan who may be in a sense carrying out a revenge for the death of osama bin laden or influenced also by spending money because perception as being a place of two bodies in the middle so little value is for some people particular dislike that's likely going to say then we look at it working for russia now if we say that terrorist won't transfer. terror on the people the. russian or maybe that all the countries in the nato alliance right really for instance all seems well they have relatives in operations this whole country is. in norway is a bigger impact than perhaps trying to occur to people you could see people killed one of them all right marc ullman thank you for your input there in a program tonight joining us and fr

let's stay with norway. we have more details about the attack on the summer camp. >> there are reports coming out now, unconfirmed reports that the shooter may be one of several shooters in this youth camp. he spoke perfect norwegian, had blond hair and seemed like a scandinavian. that is information that goes directly against everything that people believed until now, that this was some foreign terrorist organization doing this. if that is correct, we really do not know what is happening here, if there is a norwegian doing this. we got an unconfirmed report about several more than the 10 people that have been confirmed until now. we know eight youth are in very bad condition and in hospital. there are a lot of bodies in this camp. there are bodies floating in the water. the exact number, we do not know. we know it will increase. that is all we know at this time. >> we now know that 80 people were killed. seven died in the explosion in the center of oslo. >> it sounded to me like thunder. thunder or some kin

why norway? why norway? and why can't we conclusively say yes, this is al qaeda or yes, these are international terrorists. >> we can't see inconclusively that it's al qaeda. it's so soon. there's one somewhat plausibility group to have responsibility that comes from a group in iraq that was connected to the stockholm suicide bomber in in 2010. it's plausible without being plausible. he posted a photograph of a young man literally hours after the stockholm attack before anyone in the world knew who carried that attack out. so he did know. so that's a plausible claim. why norway? 5 million people, norwegian newspapers have repeatedly published the mohammed cartoons. there was a plot last year that was wrapped up in norway where at least one of the defendants has admitted they were going to go after one of the norwegian newspapers. there's a norwegian newspaper chain whose head offices are right next to the prime minister offices in thf part in oslo. so the cartoon business. people think oh, it's years ago now

now to discuss events in norway further let's talk to. the european m.p. for the u.k. independence party just about in the evening all four paws coming through all the roads and i know already some of linking the duffys promise that we all recall to strike back against europe could that be what's happening here do you think. that the last news reporter who was in the car on the way here about an hour ago before i got on public transport all i knew was that the bombs in the prime minister near the prime minister's office that there were couple of people have been killed people mabyn buried in wreckage and someone had gone on a shooting spree. with a gun so that's about all i know i know nothing about the origins of this and who might have carried it out so i mean i don't know and i couldn't hear your last report i'm afraid before i came on so i don't know whether you were able to. say well the number of anyone's claimed responsibility you know they haven't and it is early days now so you know first and foremost our thoughts are with the families and friends of the peopl

norway since the days of 2001, 2002 they have been part of a isaf. they were wrapped up in the norwegian comic crisis. and just last summer we had three individuals from outside ,f planning taattacks in norway including chinese targets. there are elements of society there that have become more radicalized in the past few years. >> police are saying that they think these two attacks were linked what do you think? >> so far, we do not know for sure that they are living. -- that they are linked to. it is not clear, frankly, who is behind this. it did was ag hottie -- a jihadist group, then what you start to see is the blending of tactics. it starts to be a harbinger of a different style attack, hageman by -- a mumbai-type attack. >> how prepared would norway have been for an attack like this? >> norwegian security services have been aware of potential security threats and have been looking at potential plots. the arrests last summer were the result of the year-long investigation. the question about whether that society is prepared with the type of secur

just a lot going on in norway there are. think there are just small writing and public transportation and it's. all i'll hold our continuing will all work then those injured are still in the building. that's what you're done your love got a bit of all news on that i can just in the last few minutes to fathom across the news wires see the c.n.n. news agency reporting that police say they're sending anti terror police to a youth camp outside oslo after reports as you were saying there of a shooting following the bomb blast earlier on the government headquarters a news site reporting that a man dressed in a police uniforms opened fire at the camp that says several people have been injured. police chief terry units have been sent to the camp of the toy outside the norwegian capital who didn't have any other information at the moment of course as you saying this coming just hours after the devastation in the center there we're just looking at pictures of the injured so far the death toll officially confirmed as to judging by the

this is the top story norway terror attacks a huge blast. killed the. confirmed reports say the terror group the help of the global jihad claimed responsibility in response to the. capitol police say they suspect the man arrested for the shooting is linked to the capital. one of the story. in brussels from a major u.s. credit. default state. this is more now on the other big story dominating the headlines this week the phone hacking scandal. the affairs impact on both sides of the atlantic and the implications for the murdoch media empire crosstalk. and you can. follow and welcome to cross talk i'm peter lavelle came in the murdoch empire as the phone hacking scandal in the u.k. engulfs more victims and politicians look for cover all eyes are on the future of news corp and its assets in the u.s. and beyond has the murdoch family finally outfoxed itself. and. crossed out the implications of the phone hacking scandal i'm joined by kevin zeese in baltimore he's a spokesperson and lawyer for the government accountability group protect our elections and auth

a lot of people on a friday, they are out there in norway. >> how well prepared is norway? >> of course, i can speculate. this is a secret. the norwegians are not that prepared. the reason is that they never had an attack like this. they never had a very serious warning. i am sure that the police was prepared but i think the preparations in other countries in europe, especially in france or germany is better than norway. >> at this point we don't know who was behind the attack, but what could possibly make the norwegian government a target of such things? >> well, one of the reasons could be that norway is in afghanistan with his forces. there are a lot of norwegian soldiers who are in afghanistan doing their work. norway was always on standby when the u.n. was called in for international troops. norway did a lot of work with the soldiers abroad. another possible thing is that it was a right-wing attack. the speculation about the right wing attack in norway. so far, we don't know anything. >> thank you for joining us. in other news, the last major suspect wanted for war cri

in norway as well this and then one. thing that's all yours soon. the problem is prophet mohammed has been courting and uproar among my friends. so. in his view it could what we have seen today chris will have happened in denmark you know it happened in norway danish police looking at it much the same way in. critical points in the market has been under increased surveillance. including. your house. where you learned first and where the. tombs of the property was post. printed and indeed a big republic started a at a tad like newspaper in norway. but in fact in the building that was born today very close to it yes it does not appear to be talking. about the congress the affairs of the world. that result of them actually and the attack it does not appear in the newspaper was the positive thing. i mean tonight as we see this unfold in sydney the only way here you know taking a position was in central oslo to try to ensure safety you know denmark and norway you're almost neighbors you're so close to both of you to part of nato is there a sense of uneas

freedom in norway not quite close asked but. a large amount of immigration we've actually also had this policy of multiculturalism and i'd like to draw a distinction if i can between what are called private multiculturalism and public multiculturalism private money of younger people who are their religious and cultural customs in private that's for i don't have a problem there and i think you know i went to a hindu waiting recently and i really enjoyed it and i really made me work my lovely time problem that we've got is with the public states wants of multiculturalism and even cameron mrs merkel president sarkozy they're all now admitting this is a problem is where we have important cultural customs into our country which are not appropriate in a western liberal advance democracy and instead of being very strong about this and that's not how we do things we were pleased and let these people carry on with things like you know arranged marriages polygamist marriages all of these kind of things and introduce their control through

policy let's hear this reaction of norway's prime minister's name is. to the attacks. we will have and will be for in a way after the bomb attack in beginning but who will still be a say it's very clear on our values of democracy and it's in this is a where we will compete to be active in their political work in a way where the confused state. will in this norway after the attack do you think that the famous norwegian social democracy would survive what would stay intact as we knew in before a yes no visual social democracy will survive the question is migration policy because the addition of the social democratic party is in europe and especially in northern europe used to be extremely international loosely minded the first signs of change was. was seen in finland where there is strangely enough finland is a country. least affected by the migration away because it's difficult to leave legal russians russians here and nationalists yeah it's a different. notion. there quite a point if you will for migrants like seldom part of europe or. even that there i

joining us on the telephone now is a labor party member in norway. i understand you've been in touch with this camp where this horrific shooting took place. tell us what you know. >> when the situation was going on, i was in contact to social media. they were hiding in caves and bushes and shelters. and trying to make as little noise as possible. they were scared for their lives because of the shooter. i was actually staying with the people that were trying to hide. >> hiding in caves. hiding anywhere they could. >> yeah. it's a small island. there are some caves there. there are a good parts of the island. there are some people took shelter. and they were climbing trees. they were finding anyplace possible they could avoid this gunman. >> and some of them so fright ened they were rushing into the water thinking that might be safer? >> that is correct. that is correct. and to be on the steps quite desperate. the watter in norway is pretty cold now. and it's quite a bit extreme. it is almost three quarters of a mile. and that's what distances they hav

but he also said there would be a pre-attack norway and a post- attack norway. how do you interpret that? >> something to remind us that we can never be naive. we can never believe that further things will not happen in our part of the world. that image has been shattered by what has happened. people are still in the united and are taking a stand. we are talking to each other. there is a very close of atmosphere in the country. there are two sides to this. he said today he has not been working alone. what do you know about that? >> what we know is what the judge and the police have said. there will be a press conference later this afternoon. the police do not really believe there are two cells. >> 21 years is the maximum sentence breivik could get by this. much of the world is shocked by this, given the severity of the crime. >> it is true 21 years is the maximum for any crime in norway. but it is also true that if your sanity or stable less -- if it is thought you would be a menace to society, that can be extended. that could happen in this case. it depends on

it's not a huge bomb shelters the center of norway's capital all slowed down a team of prime ministers headquarters reports say the blast leaves two dead and at least eight people injured. the leaders agreeing on a second bailout for greece sparked fears now over the union delving deeper into debt with experts predicting it's now up to growing economies to dominate global finances. and skepticism over joining the e.u. in serbia despite officials hope of your arrest or got an outage to just be extradited to the hague shortcut belgrade's road to membership and. also the scandal is about more than just phone hacking say american small rupert murdoch braces for a legal battle in the us where people feel the case is yet more proof a widespread neglect of rights to privacy. welcome it's eight pm you're watching r t one name is kevin zero in here in moscow with you this hour in our top story a huge bomb has exploded in the very center of norway's capital oslo the seasoning damaging parliamentary buildings including the prime minister's office two deaths have been reported at least eight are i

last year of punishment in norway for crimes against humanity. homes the kind of love for the show well the initial reaction in the west was that the attacks had been conducted by muslim jihadists yes does that mean that the new york nancy threat is overlooked by special forces today in europe and countries i won't say it's overlooked but of course the first first reaction to any terrorist attack not not only now but if you remember what happened ninety ninety five in oklahoma when a. sane person ultimately mark we destroyed federal building also everybody was convinced that that was a islamic jihad or something on that and for us then people started to to to be terrified by their visit groom homegrown terrorism so of course the the society is everywhere and authorities. are now for cure stand on muslims which as we see quite frequently which is not not entirely correct and in scanner for example there is a long all traditional for racism and so the so wide power movement but it has also always been very marginal and maybe because of those overal
