hello welcome to twenty four hour news live from moscow i mean a lot on main story now protesters in egypt gathered outside the u.s. embassy in cairo for a third day sporadic clashes with police continued to flare up stones were holed by both sides and tear gas fired to contain the crowds an american made film that smokes islam and the prophet mohammad and let's now cross to local journalists about troopers in the diction capital nice to see you about so protesters are still outside the u.s. embassy wolf that is the mood like among the people that. are still basically seeing quite violent street fights between the protesters and the police which have been ongoing all night we've seen protests very moment tops and rocks and the security forces responding with quite heavy amounts of tear gas at the moment the

military arrived at probably about six o'clock this morning the sounds of building security barricades of large concrete blocks on the street leading to the embassy behind me and i'm sure you can see it in shorts and was this is happening the police there's the protesters right. the which is quite close to the embassy and have been since keeping them at bay so right now i don't think anything is going to finish anytime soon yes and having hundreds of police tactics have been criticized in the past will has the response been like this time around. this is one of the grievances actually that's developed in this particular protest from the demonstrates this we've been calling the police dogs which is the common chant that was used in the barak era and also during the military transitional period so even though this is the first major crash and since then we had a civilian president democratically elected civilian president people thought there might be some reform of the police using very similar tactics very heavy handed tactics excessive use to take out charging protesters an armored vehicles

a high speed chase and beating people who arrests i watched and i've been watching this all mine tonight i personally saw crowd so police officers assessing upon one protester was to be being arrested so lots of beatings going on as well protests in the islamic countries tend to flare up after friday prayers do you think we'll be seeing an escalation today. the president as for the protests organized today was by the muslim brotherhood which is of course the organization that the president to be details from they call for peaceful controlled organized protests after friday prize with the muslim brotherhood they do actually deliver that they have these quite controlled protests some criticize them for being too controlled usually finish it to night so i imagine what happened here is as has happened before because the security guards have been many times before in downtown cairo once a barricade is rectus i am mountain the police who would draw this peaceful protest

organized by the mission brotherhood will take place sometime korea. what may happen which is happened in the past is when the muslim brotherhood meet the scratch and when the protest finishes the be the peaceful protest business today is struggling for people to have other grievances like i see. going to the police or the government may well stay we may see continued clashes with the security forces . from your point of view how can the purse has to be appeased it's been well they've been there for three days has been three days of protests how can the situation be calmed down. is difficult to assess really because what we're seeing is a different demographic of the demographic of protesters right now the tuesday protests were organized by islamic groups and they were peaceful when they did breach obviously the u.s. mission in order to take down the flag what we've been seeing since since early yesterday morning has been a younger crowd who are expressing separate grievances as well as condemning the

anti islam film they've been saying that they are they are unhappy with police tactics with the government so i'm not sure how these protests is a piece of news that people are going for exactly who they are there's no official group behind these twenty four hours worth of clashes i mean they have been there have been calls for us the government to apologize and the film this has been done to a certain extent although of course the u.s. government has to be very careful about so cracking down on freedom of expression otherwise i'm not really sure how these clashes can be stopped. true reporting there live from k. or from cairo bell many thanks indeed. american also spawned by the film has swept across the arab world that started in libya and egypt have struck in almost a dozen countries now including gehman iran iraq and tunisia and also his correspondent in the region lisa gastineau brings us the details. 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 muhammad we've actually seen the protests spread to right here in lebanon 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 has actually spilled over into as well as in the southern city of sudan and 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 country gets i doubt that we would see that actually happening we've also seen protests spread to morocco sudan and tunisia now of course the most 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 in 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 protest but for the moment really all eyes are really on what happens in the arab world after friday prayers lot of times we tend to see sort of fanning the flames of crisis situations like this 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 past and of course of ghana stand where killings have been reported in the past associated with the burnings of the koran by u.s. . people associated with the u.s. troops we really have to keep an eye on what's going to have. and there are after

friday prayers within libya 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 special is that this wasn't a. 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 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 destroyers to the area just in case just to see what happens there but again as a result of these clashes and the ongoing clashes in cairo we've had very very heavy security presence around the embassies 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 and of course we'll be updating you on the demonstrations across the middle east and north africa through

the day when all she plans you can always get the latest. in just a few minutes to look into just behind the controversial film that has caused such wide spread outrage and old. film and subsequent anti-american protests have damaged washington is known efforts to build friendly relations with the muslim world. and starting with the unrest within the islamic nations american journalists and. the problem of the cool dacia lies deeper than interest you phil. 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 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 is 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 it almost continuing revolution since january february of last year where he 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 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. painted on the developments in libya egypt and another arab nations aligned for you. and you can also find the latest updates posted long as they're coming in there the timeline how the situation is developing for that. and also now you tube channel would go all the beaches from the protests in egypt and the rest of the region along with alex but opinion on this is free.

russia has denounced the killing of a u.s. ambassador in libya president and said all governments should work to prevent any just provoke provocations on his. the russian president has strongly condemned the attacks in libya and in egypt and he called on governments of all countries to unite in the fight against extremism saying it's very important for all nations to work together he also mentioned that diplomats should be protected by law and government should be paying special attention to protecting people's religious feelings and emphasize the government's role in dealing with these matters in a swift manner before things get out of control these niggas. if it 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 and the salted ones start to defend their own interests sometimes this can lead to wide bloodshed you know you could feel the region could fall into chaos which is exactly what's happening now in this respect i'd like to remind the rulers of these new governments and states that under one series changes are the issue that they should not forget their personal responsibility for what's going on in their territories which are the but you know what you're seeing in your screens of course is the mayhem taking place in cairo right now the movie that's heard all of it or rather a film on you tube how was condemned and why the united states of interest and what it what lesson did say that was to use this offensive but she also said that the united states government to law dictates to its own people whether or not they should not be saying something and basically will not obstruct their freedom of expression that of course has heard the story of discussion on the internet with people debating where does the sponsibility for people's expressions and things

that they do and say stop and how it is divided up from the at the freedom of expression. and let's not take another look at what's happening in egypt right now and these are live pictures from cairo as protesters refused to leave the streets outside the u.s. embassy for a seven day i'm wary of a u.s. major film nothing is not a joke. health ministry in the bundle seventy people have been injured in the clashes and there is a heavy police presence with sides hurling stones at each other until gas fired you can watch developments in cairo live on one seat on. the u.s. state department denied any involvement with the film but this statement has failed to do to diffuse the situation on the controversy surrounding its production is still under investigation he's going there to check on 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. 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 this 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 copt and 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 of kember 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 this gusting 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 have 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. so are the people there because washington cheered so greatly for the changes that swept the region

of the current levy and government essentially ols 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 hysteria and perpetrated the vicious attack the chaos the influx of arms into libya during the war against qaddafi created perfect environment for extremists of all kinds so there's still a web of questions around what happened on nine eleven this year. and the notorious film is threatening not just you as diplomatic missions in the arab world but american interests in the region and journal washington has spent a great deal of time and billions of dollars to befriend some muslim countries but all those efforts and proving to have been in vain or in a fortnight explains. 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 your enemy 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 with the resources to bypass online firewalls and censorship. the bitter irony is that a youtube 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 it doesn't call for dialogue doesn't call for development it doesn't call for progress it calls for the moving of those units because it suits american interests and some western interests a cause for war and the invasion of iraq as we have seen destruction of afghanistan no progress on the peace level in palestine i think the 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 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 world it's there it's worse in pakistan where polls show there were ninety percent of the pakistanis feeling is the primary an enemy america's middle of bloggers 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 during a port nile artsy new york will be keeping you updated on the developments in the islamic world head by a violent on time mark and protests hail an all seeing. to other news now in person one point seven million families are currently waiting for social housing this comes against a background of spreading debt across the country and a huge number of home owners having their houses rupa altie is laura smith reports now from london on one of the biggest housing crisis the country has ever faced. the biggest social issue facing britain today there's a chronic housing shortage and an increasingly thin laugh today it is housing stock
