control tactics and quite in a heavy handed ways that she's taken we've seen shotgun pellets and they've also been exchanging in. during the looks of protests that has really been done and nothing's been done to actually calm the crowds much i think this is probably getting the crowds more excited as we've seen before i can remember last year not muhammad musri clashes which stretched over five days and the same thing in december and the same thing again in february of this year so i don't think much we don't need to see to calm the crowds down really they just use the old heavy handed topic these are the first major consciousness morsi to office and really people were hoping that maybe you've come to egypt and show a stronger i mean he has made statements about the film and the protests and asked people to keep to demonstrate peacefully the great obviously he hails from the muslim brotherhood of organized a protest in per square which they said will be you know controlled and peaceful against this inflammatory film that everyone is equal king about recently but i think the general mood is that they would have might see him come home and perhaps

is 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 aside from this controversial video which really sparked the protest u.s. 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 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 country are. quite quite in danger or on the count of the film we've also seen a very popular sheikh in kuwait post his twitter account a call for protesters to gather on thursday evening side of the american embassy there 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
12:05 am
libya and egypt but if people really do catch on to this we could see some unprecedented levels of violence this is according to some of the people some of the reporters that i've spoken to on the ground in kabul the libyan situation is a little bit different from the other countries that we've seen where of course the libyan protesters are the libyan people who are against the government of the market. he had really welcomed us intervention called western intervention to help them overthrow the former leader and they are but this iteration of libya is really escalating in the sense that the us 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 we're going to be sent to that area supposedly to help with potential humanitarian assistance and evacuations of those 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 supposedly one down the people responsible for these attacks although it's really quite
12:06 am
unclear how that's going to play out. of will be. american demonstrations across the middle east through today here on aussie plus you can always get the latest by following her own twitter. in a few minutes. into your stories behind the controversial. film that's called the outrage across downtown. also lays a look at the film and subsequent mark employers have damaged washington. to build surrender relations with the muslim world. and staying with the unrest in the our world american journalists. don't debauch says the problem of the cool down breast lies deep within just a you tube film. the movie or actually just the trailer really which is what's been available on you tube may be serving as
12:07 am
a catalyst but certainly the animosity goes much deeper and the issues run much deeper and 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 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 and then 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 his coming down on the side of the united states over the course of 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 a almost continuing revolution since january february of last year where each time when they felt the revolution was betrayed they went into the streets so the dynamics underneath this i think are much more complex than this movie first of all
12:08 am
in libya al qaida and the united states were allies al qaida where the ground troops in the u.s. 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. go nor opinion on the developments in libya egypt and across the arab world online for you at home and you can also find the latest on date post of long day coming in as a timeline of how the situation developed that and also a now you tube page with the videos from the protests in egypt and the rest of the region along with expert opinion on the situation.
12:09 am
russia has strongly condemns the killing of the us some boss today in libya president putin said all governments should work to prevent provocations and he is our correspondent to your with more. president putin condemns the murder of the u.s. ambassador in libya saying that it's very troubling one diplomats are killed since they're supposed to be protected by international law and he said how important it is for everyone to unite in the fight against extremism but at the same time why do . that is the responsibility of every state and government to protect the feelings of the leaders of all religions being offended is that. if your state doesn't react
12:10 am
in a timely and tough manner to provocations that are directed against the religious feelings of people then we happens is that the humiliating you can instantly ones when you start to defend their own interests and sometimes this can take an acceptable forms and even force people to use unacceptable you have to be human we would feel the region could fall into chaos which is exactly what's happening now in this respect and you like to remind the rulers of soon as you governments and states are going to get underwent serious changes that they should not forget their personal responsibility and what's going on in their territories is happening because you know we've also heard from the u.s. state secretary hillary clinton the whole condemns the film the controversial film which she says caused to this wave of violence but at the same time she said that the us government will never stop its citizens from voicing their personal views no matter how disgusting they are in the meantime stuff huge discussion has started on the internet so where is the lie between freedom of speech and responsibility since
12:11 am
clearly just one move by either one person or small group of people to massive and sometimes even dreadful consequences. the u.s. state department had denied any involvement with the film but they statement has failed to diffuse the situation the controversy surrounding its production it still under investigation is going to check out reports. the anger over this film has been growing like a snowball so has the confusion over who made it at the beginning our colleagues at the news agency reach to the person who posted the video on you tube someone named sambo's silly by phone he confirmed that he had made the film identified himself as an israeli american the israeli foreign minister said there was no such israeli citizen and who ever had shot the film was and i quote an unspeakable act then our colleagues tracked down december so his cell number which brought them to the home of someone named nakoula mr nakoula told them that he had produced the film and
12:12 am
that he was a christian caught and put whatever made the film it's trailer went viral after the gyptian american coptic activists from washington d.c. sent an e-mail to journalists around the world promoting this a plumber eleven event and included a link to this fourteen minute clip in egypt journalists translated some of the footage into arabic and brought tested and then it all started when muslims in that part of the world believed that if the film was produced in the u.s. the u.s. government is responsible and part of the obama administration's damage control work has been to make it clear that they too find this film despicable in hillary clinton's own words disgusting and reprehensible she also said this the united states government had absolutely nothing to do with this video we absolutely reject its content and message but the words apparently did not make it to the right ears and the rage went on in egypt in libya in tunisia and in yemen
12:13 am
people stormed the u.s. embassy this despicable violence became the price the leaders of those countries of paid for letting the mob vent out this initially but the u.s. appears to be in a difficult position now they can't really less out of those leaders or the people there because washington cheered soul greatly for the changes that. the return of the current levy on government essentially owes its power to the united states also there are still questions as to whether it was just the angry mob which attacked the u.s. consulate in libya or whether an organized terrorist group jumped on the bandwagon of this film has perpetrated the vicious attack the chaos the influx of arms into levy a during the war against gadhafi created perfect environment for extremists of all kinds so there's still a web of questions around what happened on nine eleven this year in washington i'm going to check in. so the notorious film with a pressing not just a u.s.
12:14 am
diplomatic missions and they are wild but american interests in the region and channel washington spend a great deal of time and billions of dollars to befriend some muslim countries that all efforts are now proving to be in vain autism are an important i explain. anger is rising rage is spreading and american flags are burning throughout the arab world this isn't exactly the type of relationship washington envisioned after barack obama became president i've come here to cairo to seek a new beginning between the united states and muslims around the world the new u.s. leader promised to turn the page and mend relations tarnished by george w. bush's war on terror he even granted his first foreign television interview to al arabiya an arabic language channel my job to the muslim world is to communicate that the americans are not readily washington invested huge resources in building a massive social media presence comprised of nearly two hundred different accounts
12:15 am
to spread its message of friendship by the end of last year the u.s. had spent seventy million dollars assisting foreign citizens but the resources to bypass online firewalls and censorship must consume. the bitter irony is that a you tube clip posted by one american instantly buried massive efforts made by the us government as americans were being held hostage by a small group of extremists people here in america i think when they put their views on you tube and now the technology is such that it can be seen all over the world i think people in egypt and libya and some of these places don't understand freedom of speech and they don't understand that this is not the view of most americans this is not the view of the u.s. government according to many experts a large majority of the arab world has grown too familiar. with the anti muslim
12:16 am
sentiment america is accused of cementing 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 it is us 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 pakistan 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 within forty eight hours the fury that began in egypt spread to libya yemen lebanon and iran in afghanistan due to push shut down but tensions in the muslim world seem to be only increasing there has been a lot of simmering nancy american feeling a right across the entire arab world it's their worst in pakistan we're told show they were ninety percent of. americans their primary home enemy america's

middle of blunders and it's made enemies in the arab spring countries america helped revolutionize the line between friend and foe has blurred despite all the time and money washington has spent using the internet to promote its islam friendly foreign policy the world wide web has also served as a platform that enabled one american extremist to infuriate millions overseas and the rail years of progress in a fortnight artsy new york. and we'll be keeping you updated on the developments in the islamic world hate by violent american approaches to here on r.c. and. to other news now in britain one point seven million families are currently waiting

12:23 am
attempted to say that we are so late that the way the west has a time to. the principle of message for you on. was. convincing the international community particularly the west that iran is not isolated let's resolve our issues. on the basis of negotiation rather than sanctions rather than diplomatic pressure brought to them put it a solution well one could call it probably diplomatic power you have hundred twenty countries coming to you regardless emerick is saying don't go display of such diplomatic power does this immunize you maybe from a possible strike that everyone has been talking about course and. not. all that could mean studies royal is a would attack you don't because that would not serve their interests that would
12:24 am
not help them to achieve their objectives. it would be. basically costly for them to they can begin this strong they can begin the ball but they're not you know on would respond when iran is going. the response is going to respond i mean these are the important question which is this cannot predict. and in fact no one can predict paul iran is going to respond but do you have like a guess how much could a war with iran cost the global economy. i mean as soon as there is the first planes or the first missiles are flying all the wrong i mean the parts of oil is going to. jump at least for a while. considering the. basically economy problems now. would be a very helpful incentive for the global economy was this was started talking about
12:25 am
this possible strike. the united states is have different views on whether this strike should take place or not what will happen in your opinion after the u.s. presidential election i guess if president obama is reelected he would have time to. work out a plan that would be been appreciative for both america and iran. up to this point the american. basically can see that the pressure. in the presidential election the kind of dismissed the pressure from business. i guess president obama would be more reading to take risk for diplomatic efforts well you just mentioned that you don't actually think that israel would go ahead with the strike but if it were to start something does it actually have the capitalists to fight a war with. up to this moment almost convinced not totally
12:26 am
convinced that is. 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. a right line which is no enrichment or to zero in richmond on iraq because they feel that i mean right there is a best time to pressure america for accepting that red line if america accept that red line which they have not accepted that right now they have accept that they red line is iran having basically the actual weapons but in case they decide to attack to me they will not achieve their objectives they are not they don't have the capability to attack iran at most they can attack by missiles and planes few places . which that there would not. see iran. basically not to pursue its nuclear program in fact let me put it that way that
12:27 am
can bring the radicals of iran radicals in terms of. nuclear program those who are all going for nuclear weapons in other words dad would be the best. case scenario for them that the israeli attack. can basically to me. strengthen the hands of the radicals who ones that are. what the absolute majority of ukrainians pundits and in the short of data once their weapons to me what they want is a capability all doing that seems to tell the two thousand and three that iran doesn't want the weapons you don't wants the capability but what is your personal take on ahmadinejad saying that he wants to wipe israel off the face of course this is to me mostly a rather a rather than a plan but it's something that
