hello and welcome to all t twenty four hour news the life. story now protesters in egypt are refusing to leave the streets outside the u.s. embassy in cairo sporadic clashes with police continued to flare up stones were told by both sides on tear gas fired to contain the crowds angry over an american made film that islam and the prophet muhammad over two hundred people have been injured and some dozen the rest began on local journalist boucher reports now from cairo. we've still got hundreds of protesters here mainly used to manage to take over the central square that the security forces have been holding all day which is adjacent to the u.s. embassy security forces were pushed into a neighboring street conduct an american street what we're seeing really is normal behavior for egypt's security forces are pretty which is essentially used to control tactics and quite in
1:02 am
a heavy handed range that she's. we've seen shotgun pellets and also been exchanging in. during the looks of protests that has really been done and nothing's been done to actually calm the crowd such 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 is being done to see to calm the crowds down really you know they just use the old heavy on the topic these are the first major commercial since morsi seen office and really people were hoping that maybe you've come to egypt and show a stronger he has made statements about the film and the protests and asked people to tweet 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 and everyone to be looking about recently but i think the general means that they would have might see him come home and perhaps
1:03 am
even the situation in south by doing to this and any time seeing. and hearing all seen of him in there and so see and looks into just who is behind the controversial film that has caused the outrage across the arab world and. also they say look at how the film and subsequent anti-american protests have a damaged washington's get as long as it's to build friendly relations with the muslim world. and staying with the rest of the arab world american journalists and activists don de bar says the problem of the cool lies deeper than just a you tube filled. 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 of a movie and bring an r.p.g.
1:04 am
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 kaido 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 is coming down on the side of the united states over the over the situation in syria and the rapprochement 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 into the streets so the dynamics underneath this i think are much more complex than this movie first of all in libya al qaida and the united states were allies to 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
1:05 am
in the pakistani observer back then. is in many people's minds a creature of the united states intelligence operation. and of go nor opinion on the developments and leave that egypt and other arab nations on line for you at home and you can also find the latest on dave posted line coming in as a timeline of how the situation is developing. and also on our you tube channel and go on to me is from the process in egypt and the rest of the region i would add to that opinion on the situation. it's. the.
1:06 am
american rother spawned by the film has swept across the arab world process that started in libya and egypt has flared up in almost a dozen countries now including gedmin iran iraq and tunisia and all his correspondent in the region lisa culkin to joins us now live with more good morning to you may so bring us up to date on events in the region how far have the prose has spread and how violent are they. of course well it seems like every hour we're hearing more updates about potential protests spreading across the region this is of course turmoil in the arab world over the offensive video denigrating the prophet mohammad we've actually seen the protests spread to right here in lebanon and there are a lot calmer than what we've seen in other parts of the middle east there were protesters both in the city of tripoli where a lot of the syrian fighting was actually spilled over into as well as in the
1:07 am
southern city of say don we've also seen protests reported in israel where protesters reportedly burned an american flag there as well as pakistan where there were a lot calmer than some of the other protests but local officials there had called on the expulsion of the u.s. ambassador there although of course given the large number of aid that that country gets i doubt that we would see that actually happening i would also seen protests spread to morocco sudan and as you mentioned tunisia now of course the those violent example that we've seen to date has really been after of course the tragic killing of the u.s. ambassador in libya has been yemen where thursday hundreds of protesters stormed the compound they were able to breach the heavily fortified outer perimeter setting fire to a building and several cars there there's been conflicting reports about numbers of injured and killed although the latest we're hearing is four people were killed in that protests but for the moment really all eyes are really on what happens in the
1:08 am
arab world after friday prayers and we can talk a bit more about that if you like sheryl and how do you think the day will play out will the outrage grows. well that's really the big question because what we've seen so far throughout the middle east is very often on friday prayers depending on what certain people attend to and the beliefs of the moms there are a lot of times we tend to see sort of fanning the flames of crisis situations like this we know that out several governments have called on their fellow countrymen to calm tensions but we could expect to see massive protests in egypt where of course there are still clashes ongoing there the muslim brotherhood has called for protest in that country and pakistan we've also heard reports of potential protests taking place today and really the place to watch is going to be lebanon right here in lebanon where the pope is making his first visit to the country since the beginning of the arab spring. the country of course has a very painful sectarian christian muslim sunni shia divide passed we've seen
1:09 am
a massive civil war that has raged here for days so whether or not people are going to be able to contain that home tension is really going to be the thing watch and of course of again a stand where killings have been reported in the past associated with the burnings of the koran by u.s. . people associated with u.s. troops we really have to keep an eye on what's going to happen there after friday prayers and. of course with a deadly american mission and also a situation like at the moment in libya right now what we've heard we've heard that there's been reported a number of arrests of people who are six suspected to have been involved in in those attacks we are also now hearing from the u.s. the that this wasn't a sort of spontaneous protest in reaction to the film that this may have been a planned coordinated attack scheduled to take place on the anniversary of the eleventh anniversary of nine eleven investigations are still continuing with that
1:10 am
situation and we also know that the u.s. is sending a small group of marines over to that country as well as additional war destroyer. to the area just in case just to take to see what happens there but again as a result of these clashes on the ongoing clashes in cairo we've seen a very heavy security presence around the embassy is in this region in fact we even drove past the u.s. embassy here in beirut and a lot more security presence than normally seen here our correspondent in the region lisa caputo of life from beirut say many thanks indeed. thank you russia has strongly condemned the killing of the u.s. ambassador in the van present president said governments should work to prevent really just provocations let's get more on this from. good morning rain to tell us please more on what present britain had to say that. well of course he did mention that governments should be taking a special care of such situations first and foremost he said that diplomats of all
1:11 am
countries naturally should be to be protected by law and of course it's up to the governments of all various countries to take care of such situations not to let their with really just extremism get all spilled because if the governments do not take any action then that's just people people whose religious feelings have been offended rotates others into their own decisions may get. made get away from their central that's how it is and what the russian president had to say. just because he doubts if your state doesn't react in a timely and tough manner to provocations that are directed against the religious feelings of people then what happens is that the humiliated. is not to defend their own interests and sometimes this can lead to bloodshed to the region into chaos with which is exactly what's happening now in this respect i'd like to remind the rulers of these new governments and states when they're going under when serious
1:12 am
changes are to shoot that they should not forget their personal responsibility for what's going on in their territories if you think you. know going back to the. united states of course the american reaction to the film also i didn't know i didn't have to wait for long we didn't have to wait too long but that's u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton did condemn the film saying it was tasteless and very offensive but again she stressed that the u.s. government will mock dictates to the its citizens what the words and what they should say and what they shouldn't be saying of course that also provoked a very heated discussion on the internet on where exactly people should be joining the line between bearing personal responsibility for something which may be offensive to a lot of people and freedom of expression. all right he's going to pushing the lever arena thank you very much. the u.s. state department denies any involvement with the film but the statement has failed
1:13 am
to diffuse the situation on the controversy surrounding its production is still under investigation he's got an extra count now 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 a.p. news agency reached to the person who posted the video on you tube someone named sembler 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 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 that he was a christian caught but whatever made the film its trailer when viral after an egyptian american coptic activist from washington d.c. sent an e-mail to journalists around the world promoting this
1:14 am
a cumber 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 believe 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 the film despicable in hillary clinton's own words disgusting and reprehensible she also said this let me state very clearly and i hope it is obvious that the united states government had absolutely nothing to do with this video. we absolutely reject its content and mass. 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 people stormed u.s. embassies despicable violence became the price the leaders of those countries of
1:15 am
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 so greatly for the changes that swept the region of the current levy and government essentially old its powers in 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 history and perpetrated the vicious attack the chaos the influx of arms into libya 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. so the notorious film is threatening not just u.s. diplomatic missions in the arab world but american interests in the region in general washington spent a great deal of time and billions of dollars to befriend some muslim countries but
1:16 am
all if it's proving to be in vain. 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 invision 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 americans are not readily washington invested huge resources in building a massive social media presence comprised of nearly two hundred different accounts 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
1:17 am
bypass online firewalls and censorship must. grease 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 sentiment america is accused of cementing the policy of the americans towards this part of the world is inadequate and doesn't call for dialogue doesn't call for development it doesn't call for progress and calls for the moving of those units
1:18 am
because that food american interests and some western interests and cause for war. invasion of iraq as we have seen destruction of. no progress on the peace level in pakistan thinks the spark for it to you know all come out in violent forms as we can see you know 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 you tube was shut down but tensions in the muslim world seem to be only increasing there has been a lot of simmering nancy american feeling right across the entire arab world it's their worst. we're all show that we're ninety percent. of americans the primary an 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
