to tell the story of the u.s. embassy in yemen as the wave of curious spreads across the muslim world in response to u.s. made film which mocks islam. gladstone's and tear gas are exchanged between protesters and police in cairo as another until you are demonstrating descends into scenes of violence and we're bringing in live pictures from cairo clashes between hundreds of protesters and security forces for you that. under the most coupons that condones of all the time for us to come up some experts say these kind of times were inevitable because of washington's controversial policies in the region .
10:01 am
and you saw in russia and around the world this is our she was me thanks for joining us protesters have a talk to the u.s. embassy in the capital of yemen clashing with police who opened fire to despise the mob one person was reportedly killed and several wounded in the clashes if the latest you are as diplomatic mission to come under attack in response to an american film poking fun at islam. has the latest for. 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
10:02 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 to 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
10:03 am
of the leaders of an iraqi militia there saying that american interests in that country are. quite quite in danger or on the on the count of the film we've also seen a very popular in kuwait posters twitter accounts of call for protesters to gather on thursday evening outside 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 or 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.
10:04 am
president has promised to send a team of marines to the ground force the security situation there we've also heard that u.s. war destroyers are naval were 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 and of course you can stay up to date on the latest from across the muslim world by following our own correspondent lucic offa of tweets. meanwhile in cairo where the finest protests in this series of anti-american riots flared up demonstrations have both if old into fierce clashes with security forces police are trying to drive protesters away from the u.s. embassy with bottles and butts continued to meet strong resistance. a local journalist
10:05 am
who's on the scene reports now from the egyptian capital. people are extremely angry that the demographic of the group seems to have changed slightly from tuesday which was a very sort of conservative islamist group and this seems to be younger possibly football fans the hospitable fans is not yet confirmed the police have cordoned off the whole area the whole street me the u.s. embassy and sections towards the here and basically just trying to secure the area and attacking protesters would like to take out 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 really 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
10:06 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 his jobs in 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 that an apology from the u.s. government might people are asking for would really stop the protest right now because it seems to escalate into a police versus protest fight some people if they're angry with the way the police are still using the same tactics when the minute you were in power as they are now with the 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. and some more inside and opinion now from american journalist and. don de bar don't thank you very much indeed for your time
10:07 am
so in age basically the same people that washington supported during last year's revolution are now united in their rage against america could something like that is how it happened under mubarak. well it's interesting that it's happening both in libya and egypt and also in yemen at the same time. it was the movie or actually just the trailer really which is what's been available on you tube may be serving as a catalyst but certainly the animosity goes much deeper and the issues run much deeper people do not go into the streets over a movie and bring an r.p.g. with them first of all they generally don't carry them around the conditions are such that either there's one of three things in play i think here either this is a case of blowback as many people are saying without or someone else being responsible for this and the issue being this movie another possibility is that
10:08 am
this is some sort of a black flag operation by the u.s. the support of that the evidences the fact that the united states now is an excuse to send troops into libya which they couldn't do before and there's rather widespread resistance still to the government quote unquote of the n.c.c. i mean they can't even really as semblant hold a press conference in tripoli yet and their cities to the west where their so-called green zones where gadhafi supporters still exist that's another possibility and then finally if you look at egypt the situation there is one where the government the president morsi has made a break with the people over two major issues in the last week or two of his coming down on the side of the united states over the over the situation in syria and iraq with israel neither of which are with the center of gravity exists among the egyptian people and they've had almost continuing revolution since january february of last year where each time when they felt the revolution was betrayed they went
10:09 am
into the streets of the dynamics underneath this i think a much more complex than this movie and although it may be a case of blowback there are many you know a number of other elements. that may be a play as well indeed al qaida linked to elements being blamed for with some of that tug do extremists really appear to be involved well first of all in libya al qaida and the united states were allies al-qaeda were the ground troops in the us the air support in the early stage with united states u.k. and french troops arming and guiding them from february twenty third on as reported in the pakistani observer back then. is in many people's minds a creature of the united states intelligence operation noteworthy in this context is that the last official terrorist killing of a us ambassador for getting the one thousand nine hundred pakistan plane crash was in kabul in afghanistan and the u.s.
10:10 am
ambassador was killed there at the beginning of the u.s. involvement in the overthrow of the government in afghanistan at the time which you know took almost a decade to achieve what they had that was when that country was thrown into the war that it's still involved there and so the fact that that's the way i asked u.s. ambassador to be killed is an interesting parallel to the possibility that al qaida is involved in this particular episode as well you know let's turn to syria now where the u.s. and its allies ah basically biking the same kind of links to elements now being accused of killing the american ambassador in libya well this also washington stance on syria. you know it's so far it's so complicated and yet so simple the u.s. is clearly allied with al qaida in syria there's no question about that and again arms money all of the supplies necessary and manpower have been coming to declared outside of from the united states and so they're conducting
10:11 am
a terror campaign against the syrian people and that's being you know backed in the open now by the obama administration at the same time the role. in say yemen you have the announcement a few days ago of the killing of supposedly the head of al qaeda in yemen by a drone and we don't know if it was actually an ice cream salesman or whatever because it sounds out a lot of these reports are untrue after some time lapses before in the south so it's hard for me to pin down how this is going to play out but it seems underneath all of the appearances that the united states has these guys they. are out in the field with weapons raising hell everywhere they can and at the end of the day they believe this the result the chaos the death the destruction serves the interests of the united states somehow neuron to bomb his rival for the presidency me troll me has at times the incumbent leads out with the embassy tunks and killings how is old
10:12 am
is going to go down with us votes as less than two months before they actually cause that ballot well the entire situation is very fortuitous for the obama administration at the moment politically because and again this supports the idea that maybe this is some sort of government operation that's under way because the entire discussion of the campaign has suddenly shifted from the economy which is where obama is most vulnerable to foreign policy and the opening salvo being what the media here are calling this huge fold by romney that demonstrates that democrats say that he has no understanding of foreign policy that the obama administration gets to avoid the campaign being centered on the economy that has to operate to their benefit because that's their main vulnerability the people of the united states just want that savvy the voters about foreign policy and so if it ends up being diverted to foreign policy obama has a much stronger chance of winning live from new york states that was journalist and
10:13 am
he will accept his don't evolve many thanks. thank you. so the killing of the u.s. ambassador in libya received a firm international condemnation of russia's foreign ministry described as sold on the diplomats as a terrorist attack which cannot be justified under any circumstances yet many politicians in moscow warned of this deadly reaction towards the u.s. alone before it happened every now going to school now reports. not a case of i told you so but rather a growing worry that russian diplomats greatest fears are becoming a grim reality where simmering disturbances have now flared up into full blown attacks on u.s. facilities in egypt and libya countries where recent revolutions in the name of democracy won washington's unwavering support some in moscow believe this on the most of the is a direct result of u.s. foreign policy in the region which stretches back to the war in afghanistan was no to seek you know when someone aspires to attain and they see as optimal any means
10:14 am
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 it was when the soviet union invaded in one nine hundred seventy nine that time our present parties 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 just as the u.s. came to the aid of the mujahideen in afghanistan so too they rushed to help opposition fighters in libya despite evidence of terror groups playing a vital role in the uprising the same tactic also as we see now was used in libya. were at war with qaddafi are saying. they got on president support financial support i mean arms sales and so on and finally. the.
10:15 am
last hour through the russia and the u.s. have always been partners in the fight against terrorism a sense of duplicity when it comes to condemning some and supporting others has been a source of disappointment for mosco look on this 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 russia has repeatedly warned about an overly enthusiastic approach to toppling dictators says there is always a danger that what follows will be even further destruction chaos and bloodshed yet those concerns have fallen largely on deaf ears in the west and countries like the united states may face even tougher times ahead while trying to untangle the political lots they've all been in the region it even goes corti moscow.
10:16 am
and. we're closely monitoring the violent protests parks in they are wild by the anti islamic american film and you'll find updates on the demonstrations under international reaction to the violence along with the latest videos from where their protests go away. now there is outrage in a stone e a remote advertisement showing a may say to prisoners at a concentration camp they might guessing that publish it says the ad is just a child but as a mix a year now reports the country has a record elevating it's not a past. a prank which went terribly wrong in a story a newspaper asked to express posted a picture of prisoners of a nazi death camp book involved with
10:17 am
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 a massive loss of human lives the newspaper itself tried to justify this picture by saying that this was simply a joke in response to an earlier incident when a gas heating company stonier posted a picture of the entrance to another nazi death camp 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
10:18 am
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 a stony and if his country's newspapers allow themselves such jokes with the use of the human tragedy still many have been questioning how sincere those apologies were because as tony has a record of dealing with the events of the past and particularly with nazis and in its own way several of the veterans who were fighting alongside the not situated in the 1940's in the so-called baltic legion were made national heroes in the story 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 this
10:19 am
incident this latest incident also caused indignation from the russian foreign ministry which said that this again shows how some power in the story and some of the ordinary population are dealing with things which were which are considered to be tragic and which are considered to be inhumane by the most of the world by most of the more new europe. and of course kofi right now news from around the world beyond ready to go on the run up to the curiosity rover is being revved up for the next stage of its hunt for traces of life on mars. and being brought back down to us to learn how some unlucky photographer is being labeled as potential terrorist just for trying to do that. but as in the netherlands have elected to continue on a pro european path gold it sticking to
10:20 am
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 however despite rejecting passes calling for an exit from the eurozone iris saying of some austerity measures looks inevitable as out his dishonesty liverpool. 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 have made a huge jump at some point even the leading. 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 you're left of center right parties the labor and the liberal party the prime minister margaret to having said that though the fact that the campaign has brought out
10:21 am
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 we 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 wishes of 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. drastic draconian fashion these 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. and let's not check some other world news in brief figure this hour the u.s.
10:22 am
new envoy to syria is now in damascus he will meet president assad and his first peace mission to the country. me hopes to make it roads to ending the conflict but if the task is already conceded as being almost impossible violence is growing in syria's largest city aleppo with the latest battle erupting near the city's international airport which is still held by pro assad forces. gunmen in southern pakistan have shot dead seven road construction workers who are employed by the government no one's yet admit is the killings pakistan's southern baluchistan province is plagued by militants and separatists with regular anti government attacks in a bid for tommy under a larger share of natural resources. also prime minister is vowing to keep pushing for the u.s. to get tougher on iran on its nuclear program benyamin netanyahu wants america to set up defining boundaries for a possible strike on tauron but washington's refusing saying more time is needed
10:23 am
for diplomacy and sanctions to work as an on going global impulse over iran's atomic program despite repeated denials that is building a bomb and later this hour but it's called scientists and not page interests explains why an israeli strike would only iran's radical element. it is only. doing that basically for putting pressure on international community and particularly in america in a presidential election they want to get more they want to make america. great lawrence which is no enrichment or desire to enrich went on iran but in case they decide to attack to me they will not achieve their objectives they're not they don't have the capability to attack you know that most they can attack by missiles or macleans places which are due with north korean see iran not to pursue its nuclear program in the radicals of iraq. rather because in terms of.
10:24 am
nuclear program or going for nuclear weapons sure these oil is basically. to me. strengthen the hands of the radicals who ones that are. and time for business news now with casey so the federal reserve have investors across the globe on the edge of that seeds casey and they're demonstrating the other moment by not really doing an awful lot we've got wall street open and it seems that they're on hold as you say investors they are awaiting the federal reserve announcement that may i say because i've been here many times. well and the shape a new round of bond buying to really spur the economy as you say not really much going on we're going to see the figures because they pretty much speak for them selves with check out what the wall street figures are doing and as i say they
10:25 am
pretty much tell you that all we've got the dow jones flat to positive on the nasdaq to service and in positive territory it is early days have been open for about fifteen minutes or so also one of the top news stories today is to do with spain again this time it's going courage and because the korean calls have actually been reduced and now the prime minister is saying that of bailout is not necessarily urgent because they have gone down now this announcement follows europe's unprecedented move to buy debt of troubled nations talking about spain talk about is still a financial young author of gathering storm believes it's not the solution and their own latest guys is the real economic problems. what we're doing at the moment is essentially we've got someone who runs a pizza store and they realize that their pictures are actually not very good and nobody wants to eat it so therefore what they're going to do is they're going to vie all of their pizza and pay for their friends to all sit in the restaurant and
10:26 am
therefore they'll create the idea that there's a wonderfully good restaurant wrong but everybody will know that it's rotten from some pizza and actually the owners buying advice from it so this whole concept of trying to threw money at a structural problem when everybody is in denial about what it is can only end with a really really ugly scenario. ok now it's not looking pretty is it at the moment the dice is looking pretty ugly as seven tenths of a stand down into negative territory at the moment we got the footsie to turn some sent up in london so it is a mixed session at the moment a day i'm going to reiterate the fact that the markets remain uncertain a lot is ahead. all to the feds and now so that if we take a look at the exchange rates will be able to see the ugly pieces so we've just. drop a now one twenty eight ninety five for the traders favorite pet bulls wanted to mention the fact that his top constitutional court rejected efforts to block with your area
