professor the story of the u.s. embassy in yemen as the wave of giri spreads across the muslim world in response to u.s. made film which mocks islam. gladstone's interior gallus are exchanged between protesters and police in cairo as another and to you as demonstration descends into scenes of violence and there are live pictures from cairo for you of clashes between hundreds of protesters and security forces. and as more probably condemns all the time so u.s. diplomat some experts say these kinds of attacks were inevitable because of washington's controversial policies in the region.
8:01 am
international news live from moscow this is and he with me our thanks for joining us processes have a tongue as the u.s. embassy in the capital of yemen clashing with police who opened fire to despise the knob one person was reportedly killed and several wounded in the clashes and is the latest u.s. diplomatic mission to come under attack in response to an american film poking fun at islam and it has the latest for us. turmoil in the arab world spread to yemen on thursday after hundreds possibly even thousands of protesters stormed the u.s. embassy in the capital there just two days after the american ambassador to libya was killed and protesters tried to take the embassy and cairo now when it comes to to yemen witnesses on the ground reported live ammunition being shot by security forces into the air one reporter i spoke to actually said that there was an injury
8:02 am
someone was injured in the head by one of those rounds falling from the air security forces also used tear gas and water cannons according to eyewitness reports we also heard that protesters were able to breach one of the outer perimeter of the american embassy there setting fires two vehicles before the setting fire to one building and also tearing down according to eyewitness reports a u.s. flag and replacing it with another flag there while it does seem that the situation has been more or less in control so far it really is an unstable sort of environment and we do know that aside from this this controversial video which really sparked the protests drone strikes in that country have really pitted the people versus u.s. foreign policy interests in yemen besides yemen we've seen protests erupt in in the gaza where protesters burned an american flag more or less peaceful protests in iran as well as protests in iraq on the topic of iraq we also had the leader of one of the leaders of an iraqi militia there saying that american interests in that
8:03 am
country are. quite quite in danger or has it on the counter of the film we've also seen a very popular in. posters twitter accounts of call for protesters to gather on thursday evening i'll side of the american embassy there so it remains to be seen how that situation will play out and of course the one to really watch is going to be afghanistan and we know that you tube has tried to block access to that video in afghanistan as well as in libya and egypt but if people really do catch on to this we could see some unprecedented levels of. islands this is according to some of the people some of the reporters that i've spoken to on the ground in kabul libyan situation is a little bit different from the other countries where we've seen where of course the libyan protesters are the libyan people who are against the government of moammar gadhafi had really welcomed us intervention called western intervention to help them overthrow the former leader there but the situation in libya is really escalating in the sense that the u.s. president has promised to send
8:04 am
a team of marines to the ground the security situation there we've also heard that u.s. war destroyers are unable we're just going to be sent to that area supposedly to help with potential humanitarian assistance and evacuations of though of course remains to be seen how that will work out and also reports of unmanned surveillance drones potentially being deployed according to president obama in libya to help them supposedly hunt down the people responsible for these attacks although it it's really quite unclear how that's going to play out. of course you can stay up to date on the latest from across the muslim world by following our correspondent lisa gastineau on twitter. meanwhile in cairo where the protests in this series of anti-american riots demonstrations have evolved into fierce clashes with security forces police are trying to drive protesters away from the u.s. embassy was boxers and tear gas but continued to meet strong resistance and true local journalists who's on the scene reports now from the egyptian capital. people
8:05 am
are extremely angry that the demographic of the group seems to have changed slightly from cheese day which was a very sort of conservative islamist group and they seem to be younger possibly football fans the hockey football fans is not yet confirmed the police have cordoned off the whole area the whole street near the u.s. embassy sections towards tahir and it basically just trying to secure the area and attacking protesters with tickets to me i mean i don't think this protest has any has any signs of actually stopping we know we've got a different protest organized on friday and she called for by the muslim brotherhood against this particular film which seems to have inflamed people in the middle east and other moment i can't see any signs of stopping because now people are upset with the way the police have dealt with the matter because of the levels of violence there has been a fair amount of criticism of morsi recently because he actually didn't make any official statements about the deaths of the u.s. ambassador in libya yesterday and was very slow on the uptake in regards to that
8:06 am
people are asking him really to come home and maybe the situation here as the violence escalates so far he really hasn't gotten that much i've been asking people for to peacefully protest and continuing along with his jobs and the u.s. government had no took no part in the making of this film is obscure film which people take days to work out where it's really coming from i'm not even sure an apology from the u.s. government might people are asking for would really stop the protests right now because it seems to escalate into a police versus protest fight some people if they're angry with the way that peace is still using the same tactics when the minute you were in power as they are now with supposedly civilian government really i'm not really sure how this is going to come down particularly with continued protests in yemen as well as across the middle east towards this film. let's now turn to barry based political analyst not a shabby if your insight i want to show they welcome to the program so none of the previous incidents of anti islamic americans spock's this level of fear in the
8:07 am
region why such widespread reaction based time. well it doesn't come as a surprise as you as you just said or just alluded to i think that the american policies have been have been saw inadequate i would say for american interests i mean the war on terror a targeted muslims i mean this was the stereotype that was spread all around the arab world and all the around the muslim world that's one number two issue the central issue for arabs and muslims around the world that is the issue of palestine there is no progress on that level there is no peace process really moving forward there is continuous support unconditional support for israel and all of the aggression that it has to islamic holy places all fall and the third element is that there is chaos and what under what is called the arab spring there's
8:08 am
a lot of chaos and when a situation of chaos and i'm it's the social economic indicators that are really very interesting to look at i mean we have countries and muslim countries that score very low on the development index we're talking about massive rates of of illiteracy we're talking about unemployment rates that are very high this situation allows for islamic fundamentalist group to manipulate the masses they are manipulating the masses moving them towards a certain decision and it's very easy to manipulate people when the socio economic indicators are so deplorable and when the american policies continue to be aggressive towards muslims and arabs this is how the arab and muslim states perceives the united states as an aggressor and then aggressor well it takes a spark for it to you know all come out in violent forms as we can see now on the screen and this is what's happening and it's very you know it's saying it again i live here so it doesn't come to me as a surprise because i see that people have tremendous hatred and negative aggressive
8:09 am
feelings towards americans and very that's. very unfortunate doesn't serve american interests and i think the russian foreign ministry and the chinese foreign ministry has been saying this all along that the policy of the americans towards this part of the world is inadequate it doesn't call for dialogue doesn't call for development it doesn't call for progress it calls for the moving because it suits american interests and some western interests a cause for war and invasion of iraq as we have seen destruction of afghanistan no progress on the peace level in palestine as i just said no development in the development index in egypt or in northern africa or other parts of the muslim world and that actually will lead to the situation for i don't know what is surprising is that this is hillary clinton yesterday said that she doesn't understand this well if she doesn't understand this it means that her department the state department doesn't have enough scientists enough observers or is being misled by people on the ground i don't understand how can the state department be so blind not to expect
8:10 am
this man she doesn't understand because some of these protests in the region were strongly supported by washington during last year's arab spring we've also why are they still so. american. well the same question and this is very interesting the same question would apply to the taliban and al qaida if i remember and if many of the viewers and you yourself remember in the one nine hundred eighty s. it was the ronald reagan administration with mr ronald reagan and it was a sign that the time to hold washington especially was supporting the taliban and was supporting osama bin laden's tied up against the soviet union and i was in the end the maid and the early eighty's and what happened afterwards when they became the number one enemy they became labeled as the main terrorist group that threatens the security of the united states they were responsible of nine eleven the most
8:11 am
atrocious most widely media media presented a terrorist attack against the united states well these are the same people they're supporting them again in syria and they receive and direct support by washington in syria there is a direct support by washington in egypt in libya in libya there was direct intervention from nato to save these very people who killed the ambassador i mean this is ridiculous and the united states the state department is responsible because the united states and the state department i don't think are being truthful and saying that they do not know what the situation is on the ground they wanted to use these elements in order to reach a short term objective well what what this could lead to is that things could go out of control as we are seeing right now this is a situation that is very sad very deplorable the muslim and arab world do not need more violence they need more development more peace more dialogue more pro progress more of a more compliance with the u.n. charter as the again i'm saying it's not because i'm on russian t.v.
8:12 am
but i have to actually say that the russian ambassador to the united nation has always been calling for the suspect for the u.n. charter to look at the development index to move forward with a kind of help for these arab masses to improve their lives. who would do to improve their standards and that has not been the case there has been and there is a continuous sending of weapons by the by the west and of the united states and by the united states itself to the so-called rebels in syria today for example or the so-called troubled in libya and this destruction ok maybe the regimes in syria and libya are not democratic regimes they are totalitarian regimes that are out aggressive that violate human rights yes but is there going with this situation supporting the islamic fundamentalists groups that is the main question yes the doctor and the egyptian president has condemned the violence while egypt's muslim brotherhood has called for. president mohamed morsi recently played host to u.s.
8:13 am
companies looking to invest and now he's in brussels hoping to bolster economic aid for his nation is his foreign strategy likely to go down well with conservatives at home. i think he's a bit confused he doesn't really know what he wants as you just you know also. that he has like these two lines and he's taking to control contradictory lines and coming out to the public with these two lines that is i think that will not work that would create more chaos more confusion on the part of the masses i think a proper reaction would have been if he was i think met your proper proper position would be to actually take take legal measures present you know a kind of. objection to the movie especially since this movie is like one of so many movies that actually attack islam and muslims and there are really
8:14 am
unacceptable movies that are insulting to this religion that is an important i mean as if as if it was any other religion i mean this is disrespectful and inappropriate but inappropriate material cannot be censored today with the this day and age with the internet and all this information highway so therefore this information is out there the american people are not responsible for that maybe the american government is not responsible for it this is just a video that has been filmed by some guy in california however how to deal with this is the question i go back to the arab reaction and the islamic reaction that comes as a very brutal and aggressive reaction because there are no other means available to these people and they because the of money polluted by some islamic fundamentalist groups and these very islamic fundamentalists unfortunately are supported by the very western countries that suffer from the attacks and the population of the western countries that will suffer unfortunately from these types of aggressive
8:15 am
moves that's why we are fortunate to live from beirut that is political analyst. thank you very much. the killing of the you are somebody in leave there received a firm international condemnation russia's foreign ministry described the assault on the diplomats as a terrorist attack which kind of be justified under any circumstances but there are those in russia who say this deadly reaction towards the u.s. could have been predicted and here. russia definitely has already issued in one way or another in its response to the attacks in libya and egypt saying that such attacks can and should that such attacks are strongly condemned and they have expressed their condolences to the united states however there is a belief in russia that this all is basically a result of the u.s. foreign policy in which all occasion they do make dalliances with the terrorist organizations for example in his in his exclusive interview to r.t.
8:16 am
russian president putin did mention that what is what is happening right now in the middle east with the united states actually goes all the way back to the war in afghanistan was not to you know when someone aspires to attain and they see is optional any means will do as a rule we do it by hook or by crook and hardly ever think of the consequences that was the case during the war in afghanistan when the soviet union invaded in one nine hundred seventy nine that time our present partners supported a rebel movement and basically gave rise to al-qaeda which later backfired on the united states itself today someone could use militants from al qaeda or some other organizations with equally radical views to accomplish their goals in syria russia was criticized by a lot of the countries particularly by the united states for not supporting the rebels in the libyan conflict russia in turn has has insisted on the fact that the rebels how they have themselves been supported among others by al-qaeda fighters
8:17 am
they have russia repeatedly has called on western powers to be careful with toppling with participating in toppling of various regimes for example someone such in libya or in egypt because they said if we do not know we cannot promise that what will come out is the result will be a democratic list and tact russia has said that we have made most certainly be dealing with kids and anarchy and wish a lot more of a lot more lives will be lost and unfortunately. does move to russia as gloomy as predictions may in fact be playing out right now in the middle east and northern africa and of course we'll keep you updated on the latest developments in the region throughout the day here on r.c. and also later in the program the dutch have decided they need more pain to make some gain as reform later netherlands voters are sticking to the euro cool's backing the two centrist parties but the public's unlikely to swallow the relentless cuts. that's later but now there is outrage in a state here over
8:18 am
a mock advertisement showing i'm a sage of prisoners at a concentration camp the magazine that published it says the ad is just a drunk but as a dixie you know shas can now reports the country has a record of elevating its not supposed. a prank which went terribly wrong in a story a newspaper estie express posted a picture of prisoners of a nazi death camp book involved with a text one two three dr mengele spills will do wonders for you there were no fat men in book involve this reference to a man who was responsible for more than forty thousand deaths in nine hundred forty s. nazi death camps certainly has caused uproar both in the stone here and abroad with the local jewish community and simon wiesenthal center both accusing the newspaper off of making a joke out of a huge tragedy and the massive loss of human lives the newspaper itself tried to
8:19 am
justify this picture by saying that this was simply a joke in response to an earlier incident when a gas heating company in a stoney a posted a picture off at the entrance to another nazi death camp auschwitz with an advertisement of the heating system saying that their heating systems were reliable and very efficient many experts and political analysts have been very critical of the fact that such things happen in a more than democratic state a member of the european union and this prank by the newspaper and the advertisement by the gas company forced the country's foreign minister to bring his apologies for those incidents he said that he felt very ashamed to be estonian if his country's newspapers allow themselves such jokes with the use of the human tragedy so many have been questioning how sincere those apologies were because as tony has
8:20 am
a record of dealing with the events of the past and particularly with nazis and in this very own sinister way several of the veterans who were fighting alongside the nazi troops in the 1940's in the so-called baltic legion were made the national heroes in the stony after the collapse of the soviet union so this latest incident certainly adds more fuel to the fire in this ongoing story of how the soviet baltic states have been dealing with naziism and have been dealing with the perception of the past. as altie dot com right now in news from around the world and beyond grady to normal in the red planet the curiosity rover is being read out for the next stage of its hunt for traces of life on mars. fans being brought down to earth to learn how some unlucky photographer has been labeled potential terrorists just for trying to do their job. voters in the netherlands have
8:21 am
elected to continue on a pro european piles of broadly sticking to a german led way out of the financial crisis the conservatives claim victory but may have to form a coalition with labor which holds similar economic few however despite rejecting party is calling for an exit from the eurozone i was think of some austerity measures looks inevitable as to us i see a report. the european crisis has affected the campaign period it really brought out a lot of voter sentiments that were unexpected what it comes to the dutch dutch people who are generally very pro european now we've seen in the past weeks before the final week of campaigning that socialists had made a huge jump at some point even leading the front of the liberals and of the labor party however having said that a lot of observers do the fact that the dutch again are very practical people and have traditionally been centrist voters and they did vote that center left and center right parties the labor and the liberal party of the prime minister margaret
8:22 am
to having said that though the fact that the campaign has brought out a lot of voter sentiment that didn't exist before having centrist government right now does not mean that those questions on whether they should keep helping the greeks for example or whether it should continue the way it has been in a draconian fashion following the german lead the plan for europe those questions will not just go away given even if they still have a centrist government right now so i think what will happen here is the most logical is that the labor and liberal which is a top two and biggest parties here will my former coalition in this sense it's only a practical however the question is there are differences in their approach to europe should they give more money to greece or should they follow the three percent of cuts drastic draconian fashion these are points that will definitely have disagreements and stability there is questionable and therefore the dutch may find it a coalition government formed quite quickly but whether it will last longer than the previous government well that is still an open question. the world's main news
