2:05 am
to happen we don't have foreign a granny creating the grouted theater is in effect the arab world the global south countries that have been devastated by centuries of colonialism of those decades of us imperialism and nobody can obama's policies in the last five years even so. debilitating to so many millions of people it's not a case of activism as such it was a broad array of people that detest us imperialism and you know we can expect more and more to follow and more catalysts on whether we are crazy film or a other one of a president obama or who knows president romney's crazy foreign policy ideas because. he will not be the only diplomat. presumably there will be targeted and it's not a good time now for u.s. diplomats around the world where there's more pain and what's happening in the arab world online for you at r.t. dot com and whole thing the latest updates there live as they come in and there's
2:06 am
a timeline of how the situation is developing. and i suspect the director of the anti muslim film which triggered that paragraph is now under investigation for possible breach of probation by using an alias to publish the movie a man from the way has already served a prison term for financial crimes. washington as deploy its marines across the arab world to protect u.s. missions while the white house struggles to contain the follow up america's leadership has can damn to the film and stressed it had nothing to do with it but as it is going to count on reports the video is not the only grievance the protestors have against the u.s. . as angry mobs in muslim countries stormed u.s.
2:07 am
embassies in bern american flags the u.s. president delivers yet another speech about how good america's intentions really are and have been in the muslim world america's a friend that we care not just about our own country not just about our own interests but about theirs that even as voices of suspicion mistrust seek to divide countries and cultures from one another the united states of america will never retreat from the world. we will never stop working for the dignity and freedom that every person deserves it could be that the obama administration thinks by supporting revolutions by fostering regime change washington is winning the hearts and minds of the people in that part of the world but we sent events showed that's not quite so if you look at poll numbers that gauge public attitude towards the u.s. in different muslim countries u.s. approval rating is the same as it was under president george w. bush in some countries like pakistan it's much worse and these numbers have nothing
2:08 am
to do with the infamous film but they do have something to do with us policies you know we can rap any kind of purple finger revolution we want people to have democracy and have freedom but at the end of the day when we look at the results of what's been accomplished over two decades of being in this region destabilizing the region we have hundreds of millions of people who have it in a lot of cases had their world turned upside down and in many cases they've had relatives that have been killed in this process and were building enemies towards this country and you know it i think that there's a need for a major wake up call in the west especially the united states the way they've ministration is trying to somehow contain the blowback over the same type islamic film is by bashing the film and saying that they too find it disgusting but now it's clear to pretty much everyone that it's not just about the film this rage against the united states has been brewing for a while and it seems it needed just the spark to blow up and the film tragically provided that spark need ministrations soothing words about democracy don't seem to
2:09 am
help much in putting out the flame of rage now sweeping across the arab world in washington i'm going to. i was worse from washington having little effect on the arab protest anti-war activists john recess to our actions the u.s. can take to show its good will and calm the situation down. i would say that there are a number of things that should be done immediately first of all the troops should be withdrawn from afghanistan immediately that would be a huge signal in in the in the muslim world that america didn't intend to continue the neo conservative policy of the last ten years or so they could immediately withdraw the covert assistance which they are they are giving it in the syrian in the syrian conflict they could immediately withdraw the sanctions on iran these would be very very serious signals the rather than president obama ringing up
2:10 am
president morsi and lecturing him for twenty minutes both all accounts about how his government needs to be more pro-american it would be better if he dealt with the people in his own country that is producing this this kind of thing after all america has fought a war in two predominantly muslim countries in the last ten years three if you include his involvement in the attack on libya now surely there should be a moment where a responsible leader of a country that has done that takes some action when a film is produced of this kind which in those circumstances is bound to result in anger across the middle east.
2:11 am
russia's opposition is gearing up for its third as they growl is after a summer marches will take place all across the country the largest being in moscow and for the first time opposition groups will be joined by a teacher as an other a public sector workers his artie's are in english. in addition to the staples off the opposition movement which is basically the calls to conduct extraordinary elections into the russian parliament and as well and presidential elections as well this time around they have decided to add several social issues to the roster for example they're dissatisfied with several of the laws which have been passed or are currently being debated in the state duma which is russia's parliament one such actually law is looking into allowing for a private school for for privatizations of schools and hospitals then there's also the issue of trust for an agency that is that the law which says that all groups
2:12 am
which are actively participating in the political lives of the country abut receive funding from abroad should be thoroughly financially investigated there's also of course the issue of pussy riot who have become sort of the poster girls for the opposition over the course of the summer while they were on trial of course a lot of people in the opposition are very unhappy with the prison sentence that the three members of the punk rock collective have received but there's also the issue of the state duma deputy who has just been evicted from the state duma a four overstepping his official powers but the opposition leaders say that is because he has been affiliated with them one of the main criticisms which the opposition has received over the course of several months a lot of people are saying that there is too many groups there is too many leaders and no they do not have exact set goals for example this time around you will be looking at at a march which will feature everyone from the ultra nationalists to get less been
2:13 am
right supporters to even a christian youth group who actually will be walking against the march because they have called this whole affair a work of satan for the first time around we will also be see the communist party members who will be making their debut this is the opposition rally but without their leadership they have received an allowance sort of so to speak for. but the city to conduct a march with up to twenty five thousand people participating the organizers of the rally are saying that they already have that many people out of the main issues that we're looking at right now whether or not the russian opposition will be able to bring out as many people as they have been bringing out at the end of last year or at the beginning of this year but there's also a second issue because if the rally in june has actually gone down quite peacefully one inmate turned violent with some publications and hopping in the crowd with some people throwing rocks at the police and actually hurting people in the crowd as well and there were arrests made and there were several policemen who have who had
2:14 am
to be hospitalized as a result so everybody including the opposition and of course their thirty's are hoping that there will be no such violence this time that there will be no provocation and we do have a police presence on the streets of course we will be having streets cordoned off in the center of the city so it will be more convenient for the protesters to march we will have to see how all of it develops throughout the day and of course we'll be bringing you live pictures as well right here on r.t. . your english the reporting there will later this hour to tweet or not to tweet we ask the question. do you put that out there for the general public so to still if you look at it's going to be used against one court you know we shouldn't said it you know it's going to incriminate himself that's his own fault after and new york court orders the release of private tweets of the resident wonders whether free speech is at stake on the web. britain has ordered financial watchdogs investigated possible oil prices camel traders and city speculators are accused of rigging
2:15 am
markets to make sure prize drops aren't passed on to consumers and as artie's laura smith now reports the costs are pushing up how much britain's pay for all their goods. the city is under fire again this time it's traders and speculators in for a grilling as the energy minister announces an investigation into waking the petrol price it's meant to fold in the oil price on. postum to consume is making petrol and diesel more expensive in real terms than they've ever seen pump price is quick to fill when the oil price rises very slow to full when it goes down petrol price campaign is calling on they found guilty of breaking the price to go to prison this gamble follows a huge rise in the price at the pump it's gone up ten p. since july to around one pound forty elites and that high price builds of doubt into the entire economy ninety percent of everything we have in our homes is
2:16 am
delivered by lori and with fuel prices so high haulage companies are full of to post that expense to consumers making literally everything food clothes domestic appliances more expensive it also impacts on labor mobility so how far people could travel to get to work and whether they can get new jobs that require traveling some distance to the fuel price can even if it's on the unemployment rate which is hovering around eight percent at the moment wants no is what the alternative is speculating on what is the price of one of the consequences of free market capitalism which often results in corporations getting which sometimes at the expense of ordinary people so imprison the perpetrators they might but it's unlikely to change much what it will do is divert attention from the government after all sixty percent of the price consumers pay at the pump is tax the highest
2:17 am
in europe. demand for rain oil is on the rise despite any embargo and american sanctions the international energy agency says iran sold more of its crude in august than in july when the restrictions came into force the measures are aimed at forcing iran to stop its nuclear program which to iran maintains us for purely peaceful purposes despite this the kind of the country's resources are still and demand china and india currently the top borders the us treasury meanwhile says the sanctions are effective and have slashed iran's good at sports half compared to last year jim our policy director at the national iranian american council says iran's nuclear program won't suffer. i don't know that you could actually look at the lost revenues from oil exports and say iran has taken away money from its nuclear program or reduced money for military spending because frankly with the
2:18 am
threat of war i think iran is probably continuing down that path that has already already has been on would say you know there's no perfect sanctions regime there's always going to be a whole series always going to be loopholes there's always going to be this game of whack a mole where iran responds in the u.s. tries to ratchet up and you're never going to get a perfect embargo. so i think that the question is the question is ok now you have these sanctions what do we do with these are we going to leverage these or is this a repeat of what we had with iraq where we did a great job of restricting oil sales and then doing well for food but the end of the day that didn't actually yield anything but massive humanitarian suffer suffering and then eventually this movement for disasters invasion. well look at some of the stories from around the world. yet again a stamp militants have attacked a nato base where britain's prince harry is currently stationed killing two u.s. marines and injuring several others the assault comes after the taliban threatened to kidnap and kill the prince while he's on duty in the country the militants were
2:19 am
armed with rocket propelled grenades and assault rifles prince harry was not harmed in the attack. the duke and duchess of cambridge are suing a french magazine after a published topless pictures of kate middleton pictures were taken while a couple were holiday at a private chateau in france legal proceedings have been launched in the country over alleged breach of privacy william and kate are currently on a tour of sell the stage south pacific to mark the queen's diamond jubilee. twitter has agreed to hand over the deleted tweets of an occupy wall street protests or who is among those charged for blocking the brooklyn bridge last year the social network was threatened with sanctions if it didn't give up around three months worth of activist records those tweets allegedly other mind the protesters claims that the police intentionally pushed the crowds into the bridge only to
2:20 am
arrest them struck the traffic. critics say twitter is decision sets a president who are authorities can now pertain information which was assumed to be private a resident or harvest went to the streets of new york to find out if people feel less protected. a match. to release the tweets of an occupy wall street protester and those tweets are expected to be used against him in a criminal trial is that an invasion of his privacy and right to free speech this week let's talk about that so let's say it was a terrorist saying ok let's go attack somebody what it was it was it was an american expressing his views. you know just trying to get his message out there ok some would call him a terrorist and if a person that you might think is a terrorist might feel like they're just expressing them their need them what
2:21 am
they're frustrated but. i don't know if we always seem to be you know. giving you information that you haven't been revealed yet or are broadcast yet so i appreciate we're going to hope it never stops as he put out there for the general public so to still feel ok that's going to be used against one court you know we shouldn't said it you know it's going to incriminate himself that's his own fault that what you say under free speech is so it should still be subject to law yeah if i go on television and tell everybody how to avoid cops or to commit a crime and get away with it and do it on television you know smile felts i think the most interesting thing about twitter is that if the internet is not journalism but writing is going to start to say more of a hold than it probably needs to be treated similar soon newspaper ads or other things that might be written in print media and so i'm not sure if twitter should give it up. if they want to start to grow i think they might have to do what about
2:22 am
that person's right to their own tweets and their privacy depends how serious the matter is i think yeah i think who draws that line do you trust the government to draw that line i don't know you know if you don't want to in the public you don't put it out on. public do you want people to use oh yeah it's kind of a canvas screaming out a window if you're posting it on the internet. so things like most people agree because social media is taking on a more important role in social justice change and counterculture the laws around social media are going to have to evolve as well. when the world's biggest conglomerates bring their businesses to the most secluded and often sacred corners of the earth usually hurt much more than people's beliefs . promised an ancient indian drive prosperity and a technological leap into the future but as reduced pre-schooler now reports it
2:23 am
turned out to be a wolf in sheep's clothing. it's one of the most serene and sacred places in india me i'm gary hills home to the. tribe three years thousands of tribal people here have been relocated by a london based conglomerate the vedanta group it wanted to mine into mountains considered sacred to extract the aluminum or box a for use in its refineries specially built nearby but the social and environmental costs have been high the income source with people from three hundred fifty villages have been destroyed so what will these people do they depend on the land and forest for their livelihood believe that their land is their mother father god we have a deep respect for their land but for now the indian government has kicked out saying the group has violated forest conservation and environmental protection laws that since. while some say india could stimulate its economy by accessing its
2:24 am
natural resources the people in this community believe that their land is sacred and they're not going to let any foreign corporations come in and destroy it praful says that vedanta took two acres of his land promised him compensation but that he never received anything and it's not just his communities environment that has been destroyed he says that the actions of the company have damaged the wellbeing of local people so there's been an increase in pollution which is led to many health issues. tb and breathing problems vedanta did not respond to our requests for comment but has said in the past that it believes it can make significant contributions to the people of the area and bring development to the region critics however say that hasn't happened most of the local people that we've spoken to feel that they've had promises made by the
2:25 am
company that have just been broken and that they only have they not received develop. from the company but fundamentally they do not want development in the company all they want is to be allowed to live their lives and pace the confrontation has received attention from high profile figures like movie director james cameron who compared the dispute to a real life avatar vedanta are trying to appeal the decision by the indian government in a bid to allow them to continue their work but for now local people are celebrating their victory and preserving their ancestral lands. we figured out who will work towards our development and who will not we want to live the way we did. and it seems like they might have the chance to do just that and the john grier con say they'll fight for what there is no matter who they're up against preassure either r.t. or india well they are it is use new squeezes the headlines to wring out some
