8:01 am
hello and welcome to r t we had now to our developing story the wave of anti-american protests which is gathering strength as it sweeps across the muslim world police and yemen have reportedly fired warning shots at another mob of protesters heading for the u.s. embassy while similar clashes rage in the egyptian capital let's head now live to party's policy leader for the latest paula take us to sanaa first the american mission there was rated just yesterday and now it's under attack again. what we are receiving with that he knew that the police firing tear gas as well as in line and mission that would qualify to gather for the sake of a day in front of the american embassy of the city of yemen now we understand that the security barrier that was by security personnel to protect the american embassy in from that. has been broken for them as we speak and the situation there seems to
8:02 am
be out of control within the ports of cars and smashed the windows being smashed that they are cars aflame and that the whole situation is truly a shame and until they can cost the college and we likely seen elsewhere across the region over this and there is going to make sure that. the prophet muhammad nothing on some of the scenes taking place here we need to capture the cairo when speaking to you from as well as in the frame and tom now goes to places that you can be interesting because these opposition the american backed allies there again seeing hundreds of people state into the streets and meet with the united states over the spill and now the u.s. embassy in cairo has been under siege for a day is how are the authorities there coping with the assault. well this is the consecutive day that angry mobs have taken to the streets of cairo you can see behind me the youngsters primary between the stones over to security value the
8:03 am
security void innocence that has the right to the american embassy make my way fit in the slot machine the ones that interest transmit that knowledge as the huge company that is all being from the end of the stick i still think five people still covering their faces people walking around with mosques to their deaths mosque it's simply that from sting in the eyes the situation as it does on the nothing is from where i'm standing no no no peace plans that they were on the other side effect of the road is lined up with the significance of the peace with the sentences very people away from the muslim brotherhood and yet they pay for a nationwide might be a million man march to condemn this and they want to see the kids when they're off the street want to somebody close to should be held but when you look at the recall finally in the streets of cairo it doesn't seem as if the muslim brotherhood renie. trying to play in the snow on the government's right to the point i am one
8:04 am
hundred more see if he really knew it we have been promised at least eight billion dollars in aid that is the purpose of the strike to try and get on the sidelines of the countries concerned of what's happening to the point. the question is why is he not doing nothing why not to quell the crisis back home but certainly as the question live there from cry row parties paula slayer and of course you can always follow paul on twitter at paul asleep or underscore r t. now we can crawl saw a lot of to london to discuss the latest developments all across the middle east and north africa with patrick henningsen geo political analyst and a for the current affairs website u.k. a column patrick thanks for being with us today so president obama has thanked his yemeni counterpart for the efforts to secure the u.s. diplomatic mission is that a little premature given what's still happening over there. well there's going to
8:05 am
be a lot of moving and maneuvering in a very short space of time right now mainly because right now the u.s. is in an election cycle and it's coming to the end of the election cycle so the public sort of media show between obama and romney is in overdrive right now so each side has to react as fast as possible to every little saying otherwise they will get absolutely no live by either the right wing or the left wing side of the press which ever side you're looking at just. one brotherhood has announced it's canceling nationwide protests will only organize and symbolic protest on tougher square what do you think is the reason behind the surprise turnaround for the two political alliance between the united states and egypt is a very delicate one on one side but it's also very important strategically especially with regards to israel so you'll see a lot of pressure put to bear on the power structure in egypt particularly right
8:06 am
now israel the israeli lobby is very obviously very worried about the status of egypt they want it to be stable and also egypt is used as a political football in america so right now the narrative from the republicans in america is that obama is appeasing the muslim brotherhood that's the general theme and then on the other side they're saying that the republican side is not fit to sort of analyze it matters that situation so. there is a lot of pressure put to bear on washington but skaf still runs egypt not the muslim brotherhood that's the supreme armed forces council they are in power in egypt they say it's still effectively a military police state so are you saying that those are the people who are continuing to drive these riots no i can't tell you who's driving the riots but we will probably get to that in the next question but these riots to this is clearly
8:07 am
a stunt this film coming out of california made by this guy named sam to seel notice you haven't seen any banners with the facts while saying death to sam to seal the maker of this film so he's very dubious the origins of this film and it's not as bad as terry jones in america burning korans but yet over night the whole middle east is up up in arms so there's a lot more than meets the eye about this the launch of this film and how it was disseminated i think the same people that brought us that i'm good on the american al-qaeda leader in l.a. the same people who brought us this film that's what a lot of people are saying that's what my analysis points to that patrick where we stand today what and how long would it take for washington to recover its reputation in the arab world well. what i think are really important point here karen is that there is that there is an actual grassroots movement specially in libya and that was that was gaining steam it's not only grassroots movement that
8:08 am
was very pro khadafi and in terms of his vision of africa but a grassroots movement that was very anti imperialist and what the west seems to be doing it seems have been picking off the leaders of this movement especially in libya using the al qaida westone sort of directed al qaida operatives picking off this movement radicalizing it and that's what you get that's what you see today burning buildings and rioting this is not a political movement this turn into a mob movement definitely co-opted by the western intelligence agencies in order to . radicalized the any any sort of grassroots movement and give an excuse to intervene and to further divide and rule the north africa in the middle east to radicalize it you see that theme all across the region when when america british and israeli intelligence are involved so this i believe that we're seeing we the fruits of that right now political analyst for the u.k. a column current affairs website patrick having some thanks for your time here on
8:09 am
r.t. if you're. and coming up in the program as epic efforts down the drain. we look at how president obama has been steadily building ties with our countries since he came to office only to see his efforts whirlwind in one fell swoop. u.s. state department stresses that it had nothing to do with the film but the statement was brought little consolation artist going to chicken reports on the origins of the controversial movie. the anger over this same type islamic 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 and who ever had shot the film was and i quote an unspeakable act then our
8:10 am
colleagues tracked down this 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 copt and but whoever made the film it's trailer when viral after an egyptian american coptic activist from washington d.c. sent an e-mail to journalists around the world promoting a september eleventh 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
8:11 am
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 lesh out of those. so are the people there because washington cheered so greatly for the changes that swept the region and the current levy on 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 hysteria and perpetrated the vicious attack the chaos the influx of arms into libya during the war against qaddafi created perfect environment for
8:12 am
extremists of all kinds so there is still a web of questions around what happened on nine eleven this year the release of the notorious movie online rapidly diminish the years of effort spawn the u.s. government to refresh and establish friendly relations with nations in the region but important one has the story. 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 with americans are not your enemy washington invested huge resources in building
8:13 am
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 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 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
8:14 am
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 doesn't call for progress it calls for the moving of those unions because it puts 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 thinks 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 due to bush shutdown 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 in pakistan where polls show there were ninety percent of pakistanis
8:15 am
americans their primary home enemy america's middle of blunders and it's made the 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 the platform that enabled one american extremist to infuriate millions overseas and darrelle years of progress very important r.t. new york. we're also closely following developments of our to dot com and we want your thoughts as to who you think is to blame for the anti-american violence in the arab world right now more than half hold washington responsible saying it's a blowback for america's foreign policy just under a fifth say blame irresponsible american islamophobia for fueling the own arrests and slightly fewer think radical anti western muslims are the cause while the
8:16 am

8:24 am
a new wave of quantitative easing that means buying up assets from the markets basically in an unlimited way that's open ended and the previous wave was worth around six hundred billion dollars some say up to one trillion so basically this is all very much supporting the markets the fed will be injecting up to forty billion dollars a month including into mortgage backed assets to the order to support the real estate market here is welcome i'm sorry from jacobson such a very. short term of course what happens fundamentally here is stage you make money cheaper. and as such you will want to see tangible asses live all gas gold all to go off in order to have a system to reset itself so yes it will create an increased appetite but you have to remember this is almost like a science definition of insanity which is state you keep repeating the same experiment expecting different results when i'm trying to say with it is of course
8:25 am
this is the third time we do quantitative easing in clude and then also we have operation twist so if they actually this is going to do nothing to the unemployed in southern europe it is going to do absolutely nothing to the growth of the us may just obstacles still remains in place. while the markets where we're waiting and speculating about this new wave of three for more than a month this is the reaction they finally go to it's with the footsie on the dax up one hundred percent welcoming very much this much anticipated move over on the currencies market that all is a shedding a lot of value because buying up assets of course involves basically. almost turning on the printing press so therefore the value of the dollars slipped a very much over the past three weeks from one point two one to one point almost everyone is saying that the russian ruble is meanwhile strengthening against both countries. let's move on now financial problems so make more
8:26 am
americans lose faith in the banking system the fresh report from the federal deposit insurance corporation says so-called unbanked population has grown to eight point two percent of u.s. households instead banks these americans rely on the cash checks and payday lenders to manage their finances and only more vulnerable to high fees and interest rates but they're also called so from the credit markets buy a car or zero zero pay for college. all right over on the russian markets as you can see the rally is a very. moving on with a more than six percent higher than my six on the strong the rubles a bit weaker it's up around four percent more secular gets us some of the movers now outperforming the market let's listen to look about those outperforming the market is federal group company m r s k is up more than ten percent b.c.b. among financials is also doing better on them isaac's up almost five point six
8:27 am
