11:04 am
got sent home for cause was born on the muslim brotherhood for awful more than symbolic protest to take place but when you look at the algorithm the french were mocking the speaker out of a focusing most of the week to mop up the moment because the final form of support at home will be one stop the argument for cutting costs was one that stuck in the forefront for free. from there i spoke to geo political analyst patrick henningsen who thinks the muslim brotherhood's decision to back out of the nationwide anti-u.s. protests signifies how the movement is influenced by washington the 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 now it is real the israeli lobby is very obviously very worried about the status of
11:05 am
egypt they want it to be stable and also egypt is used as a political football in america so there's going to be a lot of moving in maneuvering in a very short space of time right now coming up in the program epic efforts down the drain we look at how president obama has been steadily building ties with arab countries since he came to office wanted to see his efforts in rowing in one fell swoop. the latest reports say the british and german embassies in sudan have now also been attacked along with the local american diplomatic mission here's our london correspondent sara firth with the details. the british foreign office has confirmed so far just that a demonstration has taken place but we don't see the german embassy came under quite heavy attack eyewitnesses at the scene reported windows being flashed flag outside the diplomatic mission being taken down and replaced with an islamic flag
11:06 am
was in the building on fire we know that they've been fired by the seed anees police trying to resolve the situation over the years and the of course this is on the back of the wave of attacks that we've seen taking place across the middle east and north africa. and islamic film that was released and so he's concerns obviously that we're seeing this violence continuing and spreading now as we said not just the u.s. embassies that are coming under attack but the british and the german one as well the german foreign minister has responded to the attack he confirmed that all the stuff inside the building was safe they'd actually been evacuated because the demonstration began he also condemned. the anti islamic film. he condemned that but again reiterated the stance that many countries have taken so i think the u.s. is taking which is that there is absolutely no excuse for this type of violence here in the case today we've got a demonstration starting. outside the u.s.
11:07 am
embassy in london that's being arranged by british muslim cleric who is known as the being a fundamentalist islamist remains to be seen how big that will be what sort of scale that will be on but obviously there are great concerns of course this wave of protests continue. for more on the story we're now joined by christoph horse stall the managing director of horse all networks government and business consulting thank you for taking the time to join us now up until today the anger of masses was directed at the diplomatic missions of the united states why are germany embassies now being targeted. you know it's astonishing. beshrew to the administration i think germany is not yet. you know facing this kind of attack which is usually you know. hurting u.s. embassies and british french embassies because they're protected in recent aggressive nato politics but germany is new to the club and that means you know our
11:08 am
security. security system is not yet up to of foreign policy. and recently we had you know a great tween a statement striation in germany last month people carrying you know. transparent pictures caricature is of the prophet mohammed ridiculing him that was noticed in sudan and then also. we had very clearly our chancellor merkel last year giving your prize to the dentist. artist who brought on the prophet mohammed i'm sorry interrupt you but i want to ask you in reference to that do you think the german reaction will be similar to what we've heard from washington which has been trying to distance itself from the fell. well our foreign minister has given a really old statement this morning and he has very strongly i was astonished he
11:09 am
has very strongly condemned the movie. looked at it for three minutes then i couldn't stand it any more it's a primitive as the foreign minister as the wrestler has said it's a rude crude and he islamic it's a bad movie and he needs to apologize for this he didn't do it but it was very close to that for this rule movie and he said mast heard muslim feelings and he's not at all positive on this movie but also he said i'm not positive on violence of violence as the star and the movie is a bad movie that it was it's like now what about the fact that berlin managed to order the evacuation of its diplomatic staff while in. that's i mean how did germany manage to predict such events well there is no reason it is simply friday today and that the embassy is empty as you know embassies on fridays in muslim countries for this reason there was not you know there was not my staff on the
11:10 am
ground usually some dog guards and something like this and the. embassies are usually your only empty right well that i just happened to be coincidence if you think islam is protesters are trying to achieve through this targeted violence. well they want to make sure that in the west and western countries their protest is being understood and heard and listened to because they have the feeling there's a lot of you know hurting muslim feelings without any body you know taking real notice in these countries where these injuries come from sort of the way they originated understanding why the muslims softened it and that is something i must say that is correct we have a lot of anti islamic you know program by our leading media. and is being depicted as a group. religion where the muslims are not really you know to get along well with
11:11 am
christians which is not true muslims notice that this is being done this kind of propaganda and for that reason you know we have a heating up of emotions that is quite the question what do you think is the future of western diplomatic missions in the middle east from now on. well. at a crossroads right now nato is at a crossroads. a group of countries. is attacking syria they are thinking of new ways how to attack because the pharmacy was not very successful. iran is under constant threat especially from israel we have all kinds of you know israel intrusions into us election campaign from from it and yeah so we have a difficult situation of western embassies around the middle east and northern africa and that is of course is something very difficult i don't think the situation will improve over the next months and we. are live from perth empress of

more importantly iran is discovering new markets china is continuing to take really an oil so as india the americans. try to ensure israel that somehow sanctions are working in order to see if sanctions are going to beggar arounds economy just like they did in iraq and therefore we don't need to around a moment why netanyahu is going to do it iran is a major world economy a world player and actually of europe. economic trade and economic contacts in these new other economies are going to step in and fill the breach and therefore in europe there is a fear it's going to be excluded from the iranian markets as a result of these sanctions and i think that is actually what's going to happen. to greece now where four russian tourists have been killed in a bus crash the russian consulate us confirm the deaths and also says thirty people have been injured some of them severely their bus crashed all the highway from the region of. to the city of thessaloniki an official investigation says the driver
