8:01 am
it's more pm here in moscow you live with us r t i'm to bang would say first president obama has confirmed that his i'm basset in libya and three other officials were killed in the city of benghazi christopher stevens was visiting the u.s. consulate to when an armed mob stormed the compound in protest at an american film which is being called an insult to islam the latest from marty's middle east correspondent policia. i witness is who were there said that they heard gunfire coming from both libyan security forces and the attackers themselves and we have seen some reports at least suggesting that some half a dozen libyan security forces were taken from the scene in ambulances the american ambassador to this consulate in benghazi was the american envoy to the libyan opposition during the revolution in their country which is certainly does suggest
8:02 am
that you now have a situation where the rebels are killing their own counterpart what we are witnessing more and more is increasing and raced and violence in these post of revolution countries that are receiving backing by the united states this storming and essentially the murder of the ambassador of the american consulate in benghazi comes just hours after a mass demonstration of at least some two thousand protesters in the egyptian capital city of cairo what happened there is that an american film that was produced by an american based company was released that many say was insulting to the prophet mohammed now some of our viewers will be familiar with the name terry jones he was the christian pastor that was involved in the koran burning that saw widespread demonstrations across afghanistan and he too was involved in this full that he says was a satirical look at prophet mohammed but certainly hasn't been received like that at least not in egypt now what we had in egypt was indignation people taking to the
8:03 am
streets they pulled down the flag of the american embassy that appear replaced it with a black flag that sit there is no god but allan we know that and that egypt police are now under stand by for the protests today wednesday in the capital city of cairo police are gathering as we speak at the same time we're also hearing of demonstrations being planned in tunis the capital city of tunisia both of these will be anti american demonstrations again showing just how one knows how this region is. can any of these post revolution climate that has seen these countries in a and in an instability launch be because of what has happened in a lot of confusion over the rule of wisdom power was in the so called review lucian reprocessed. right now we have a chance to discuss the attacks on american diplomats whether mr patrick henningsen and your political analyst for the u.k. call them current affairs
8:04 am
a website good to see you again mr having same now these attacks happened in countries where washington was directly involved in regime change what does that say about the effect the revolts have had on the us. well this is a very interesting development and what you can deduce from this is basically you know that washington in america is still living in their own sort of western bubble where they believe that they don't have any chain of responsibility for the events that have happened to transform countries like libya for instance egypt a lesser degree but definitely libya because there was a military intervention that killed thousands and thousands of civilians so this this this event in your career could easily be. more than just. an islamic american protest that could have something to do with get off oil lists
8:05 am
that are still being rounded up and arrested the next particularly the recent extradition of a house in a sea from or tell you a deal which the u.s. brokered to live. right now new governments of libya and egypt to ill prepared to protect diplomatic premises or were these events just too unpredictable when you've got you really have to look at this in a mature way you know for the u.s. to to to borrow and basically just roy a country and assassinate its head of state on worldwide. television and then for diplomats to go in those diplomats have to realize that they're not interesting they are parties you know in a major war crimes so they have to be on guard for that to think that there's going to be normal diplomatic relations in a country or libya this totally unstable as a result of nato intervention is a bit naive by western pontins and political. politicians and so forth in
8:06 am
washington and london nobody is innocent anymore this is the new paradigm of the western aggression that they have to accept is the reality that we're seeing a rise in islamist groups you know rising at the dawn of the arab spring why are they radical elements proving so difficult for these countries to contain well you know most of the radical islamic elements in all of these countries or controlled by the west a lot of the al qaida factions are directed controlled and mel feit of funded openly in the case of syria by washington and london so they have control of the radical elements this is really an excellent divide and rule sort of situation you know to use this. clash of civilizations islam vs christianity or something like this it's a great cover for a colonial agenda and a technique of dividing countries into their respective compartments compartmentalizing them and then being able to rule over them either through the
8:07 am
u.n. through nato or through other sort of trans national bodies right i mean america has been spearheading these changes in egypt as well as in libya you know what do you think washington is going to do after this. you know washington might look at this and it's a very it is a tragedy you know all our hearts go out to. the council workers and basser stevens and his family but look the us called it called all the dead libyans collateral damage. and they were working to take over that country and divide it into its corporate bad to stabs you know the very you can look at the death of this recent death as collateral damage this is still part of the aggression so this is this is what's called the blowback of of washington and london aggression aggressive foreign policy. stephens and the stuff they're all collateral damage in the western agenda to march forward and to radicalize parts of these countries and to take over
8:08 am
the middle east in order to prepare the eventual confrontation with iran with israel by its side you know i think a lot of people will be why with the american diplomats at the tragic price when the end as opposed to directed at a film which has nothing to do with government why do you think that is. like i said is more there's more to the meets the eye here is not just about the film this western or anti american gangster is coming from these groups it's not just about. what this film was depicted as this film will come and go it will walk away like the danish cartoons the real the real issue here which is not being talked about these people of the real anger is about the western aggression the violence the killing from afghanistan all the way to libya ok across the whole arc of the middle
8:09 am
east and central asia that is the big issue that people are not talking about it's not so much about a religious or a clash of civilizations it's an anti imperialist banks it's really i believe fueling this aggression towards america and some of these european leading nato countries that these are the price this is the price that you will continue to pay by the west we use this crisis as an opportunity to further either balkanize these countries or introduce other military. united nations peacekeeping forces more. nato small pockets of troops and so forth they'll use this crisis as an opportunity as they always have so we really need to look see the narrative that's mainly a western narrative figure it's funny that a lot of this news that really dominates our headlines in some of these muslim countries is not the number one story actually but we really see will it make it the number one story to provide a. difference
8:10 am
a class a muslim versus christian west versus d.c. this is the narrative that the western globalist imperialist it leads close to carry on with let me ask you about ambassador christopher stevens i mean he was a key figure in arranging ties with libya's post revolution interim government does this tragic death signal a deep divide between the new leaders and the people of benghazi well libya was well divided before ambassador stevens even stepped foot in libya that country was divided as a result of the nato intervention and you have warlords and militias marauding around have raided weapons stocks were formerly held by the gadhafi government so it's absolute chaos meanwhile though what's very interesting is amongst all this chaos on the surface the sort of oil assets the state. the water assets some of the agricultural assets and some of the trade the economic pockets
8:11 am
of already been divided up by british companies american companies french companies corporate companies they've divided the country and sold off and selling off its assets for pennies on the dollar in order to pay off the i.m.f. so. money injection that they put into libya as a result of it being blown up by nato so this is the game we saw all in iraq and it's the game we're seeing in libya the stabilizing of the corporations will still profit from this pay off which they have done very efficiently and that's also not really being public about the mainstream me that you're getting sinuiju political analysts for the u.k. economy current defense website wish we had more time with you thank you for your time. when we're also closely following of this developing story on our website at our jean dot com we explore further the attacks of you with missions in benghazi and iraq doesn't resonate to polls revolution countries continues to

unfold the timeline of approaches is also available for you online. germany's federal court has backed a motion considered crucial for containing the debt crisis that's been raging in europe for almost three years now it approves a new five hundred billion euro bailout fund for struggling eurozone countries however the ruling comes with several conditions archies people all of our reports from berlin. the maximum amount that germany will be able to put in is one hundred and ninety billion if they want to put in any more than that they can have to go to the bundestag and it's going to have to be a vote on it also both houses of the german parliament are going to have to be kept up to date with exactly what that money is being spent on it's
8:13 am
a political success for. merkel she backed this system full heartedly and of course she's got an election coming up next year she couldn't afford any major embarrassments however the fact that it has to go through a vote in the bundestag and at the amount has been kept could mean that she faces a few internal problems inside the journal put german parliament if they want to try and increase the amount of money germany is going to give to those failing economies in the rest of the eurozone that five hundred billion euro ports that's not infinite it's got it's not a bottomless pit of cash what happens if other countries for by the way at the moment we're seeing greece needing that bailout money desperately what happens if all of that bailout money or too much of that bailout money spent on greece and say countries like italy or spain slip further into the economic mire does that mean that there's simply no cash left for them in terms of greece though i say they will
8:14 am
be quite happy to hear that this is gone through but there's a huge meeting taking place in the country on wednesday now that is a meeting between the heads of the coalition the ruling coalition government there they have problems they can't decide how they're going to make the huge over ten billion worth of budget cuts they can decide how they're going to do that without hurting the greek people too much so it could end up if they can't make those cuts all of this decision in germany might have fallen by the wayside because the bottom line is if greece doesn't cut they don't get bailout money whatever the german constitutional court ruled. political risk consultant john hulsman believes a court ruling in germany will provide a short lived abuse and will not fix the crisis longer term. the germans are storing up hostages to fortune they're going to need more than the five hundred billion euro because italy and spain to some extent certainly spain will need a bailout greece probably will need a third bailout and then you have to go back to the bundestag because the chord
8:15 am
capture him in liability to one hundred ninety billion euro sounds like a lot of money frankly it's not given the money they're going to need and it's some point somebody in the boat the stock is going to get up and say this is madness we can no longer pay for the rest of europe you're beginning to see these points of friction coming up more and more and more often and as they do eventually you're going to have the problem to deal with totally donor weary supporters in the north and so i think that there's still a long way to go in this crisis because they have installed the ultimate problem these countries in the south remain on life support the countries in the north are going to have to pay for them forever it's so you get economic productivity on the table we're destroying plates and here. in the meantime the ongoing crisis has bugged renewed separatism calls and cut to do india of a million people took to the streets of bustling not to call for independence from spain they had already attracted a record turnout in the most prosperous part of spain which blames the central government economic woes authorities and cut the linea demanding

a five billion euro bailout from madrid saying that's how much from buffalo ny has been posted over pay so she alleges bottom of dell says the government is imposing centralisation on pop of the country's driving autonomy. while the economic situation in gaza look like in the rest of spain is catastrophic and getting worse but the difference between this year and last year particularly is that now the body of a lot is in the government and it's there a lot more aggressively centralist and and it's and there are a lot more aggressive against sort of the autonomous rights the regions that that feel themselves as nations like a loony our the past. region they're a lot more aggressive in imposing that sort of identity on them the people that were out in the streets yesterday calling for independence from spain were to a large extent extremely diverse in terms of what their outlook is on economic

policy on democratic mechanisms on a number of issues and it's really kind of hard to say who would have the germany there it's a very very very wide palette and yet it certainly doesn't it doesn't look very certain about it that way. they are a crisis is syria is also on the minds of dutch says we'll report later this hour the people of the netherlands go to the polls with the euro sceptic parties hoping to be backed by those fed up with helping out their neighbors deal with the debt crisis we'll bring you the full story in just a few minutes. also friction between france and israel is desperate for the u.s. to take a more aggressive line against iran saying it can't wait for more talks to produce results but washington says the israelis are overreacting. activists in syria say battles have intensified in the country's largest city of

aleppo with rebels trying to seize the international airport now under the control of government troops the air filter is thought to be used by security forces to post opposition fighters in other areas of the city on sunday a car bomb attack in the northern part of aleppo killed at least thirty people the new un envoy is preparing to travel to the capital of damascus later this week in an effort to get peace efforts off the ground russia's foreign ministry says the u.s. and u.n. security council are quick to condemn some attacks but refused to denounce. this school so far the un has strongly condemned any terror attacks then our colleagues failed to condemn the recent terror attack on syrian security forces in damascus. saying that it wasn't really a terror attack as it targeted those who fought against the rebels that explanation frankly shocked me then we suggested condemning not just the attacks in aleppo but those across iraq as well where more than one hundred people died but our partners
8:19 am
refrain from any strong statements which makes me think that their position must have changed dramatically and some western countries must deem terror attacks are acceptable when it suits them i wish they'd refute this suspicion but for now i have to keep it. they were says there's no rift or with israel of their stance on iran washington and says the both states are committed to preventing the country from developing nuclear weapons an accusation iran has already does denied israel has recently increased its calls on the white house to get tough on toronto but that must response israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu wants the u.s. to set up red lines defining boundaries for when america could strike iran's the obama administration has so far israel to give diplomacy and sanctions a chance this comes as the u.n. nuclear watchdog the i.a.e.a. is planning to pass a resolution criticizing iran's nuclear plans to show that talks are
8:20 am
a real alternative to force writer and journalist afshin rattansi believes the israelis may be running out of options. never you know really seem out of touch at the moment even mitt romney obama's fellow contender for the presidential race has been has a strong this ridiculous comment from the israelis international media are interested in another war didn't seem to care that much about the deaths in the ensuing destruction intel reports that repeatedly say that iran is not pursuing a nuclear weapons program or thrown in the bin just by the way in the past few days saying that enrichment has actually decreased not the right as an associated press and quite understand the machinations of what the nuclear debate in vienna actually is but no i think on iran increasingly it looks like the third world war is some time off a little i mean they don't you know is increasingly desperate but i think the fact that mr dempsey himself his exact words i would not want to be complicit on an
8:21 am
israeli attack on iran speaks volumes i hope dempsey tells a bomber to stop the sanctions to. the now then say is shooting a new parliament with resentment over enduring cuts at the front of voters' minds the center right and center left parties are neck and neck can both expected to stick with helping out the struggling euro stablemate but as tests are serial ports many doubts are wary of a stereotype and ready to support parties or suggest breaking free from brussels. it was back in ninety ninety two when a treaty was signed in the chateau in maastricht in the netherlands establishing the economic and monetary union later paving the way for the creation of the single currency but today mounting a euro skepticism has spread to even countries considered poor eurozone nations including the very one where it all began and the dutch are taking their discontent to the polls so i don't know at this moment what is the best this for europe i have
8:22 am
my jobs because of greece. and the shelf and the netherlands it's a pro european country of course it shouldn't come to the stream level that we see with greece now in a repeated fashion this annoyance among the dutch at having to bail out greece again and again has reached a point where some dutch customers refuse to pay the bill of greek restaurants because well they've already paid with bailout money taking on a euro skeptic anti brussels stat has become a popular campaign strategy from the far right freedom party which is called for the return of the dutch guilder to the once fringe leftist socialist party openly challenging the german led a stair the strategy for europe well we're protesting against our liberal government you know makes a distinction between the rich. much much bigger gap part of the problem is you know did europe brussels has a lot of power now people feel like they have nothing to say about what's going on
