3:02 am
witnessing over the past few days there is still a heavy stage though tear gas in the area if you look behind me you will see the security barrier that the security forces pulled on friday morning and this was to try and stop protest as reaching the american embassy which. it's just on the other side i spend several hours of course time in that environment because there's simply no way to run to all the shops a barricaded the windows as well as the doors but the hotels in the area have closed down and that continues pretty frightening when you have protesters on the one side these huge chunks of gloss and concrete at the security forces who were firing constant rounds of tear gas so the area here is in this hood with these tear gas canisters there was broken glass everywhere and there was rubble on just about every street overnight there was also an attack by forces on an american base in the afghanistan problem of helmand now at least two u.s. movies were killed when the attorneys managed to scale the aisle to security
3:03 am
perimeter we know that this is also the base where the british prince harry was stationed but that he managed to go on home and there have also been protests taking place as far afield as sydney australia where several hundred protesters chanted messages such as down down you escape the police the city you see the tear gas to disperse those crowds. well as we know the protest mood has been across the region with wider targets than just u.s. embassies now what more can tell us about them. also the demonstrations are now spreading like wildfire across north africa and the middle east of course the anger being expressed on the streets as anger against this american made film that bomb that mocks prophet mohammad we've seen demonstrations in bangladesh in malaysia in gaza also in iraq in sudan at least three people are known to have died in demonstrations in the capital city of khartoum these took place when protesters
3:04 am
tried to reach the american embassy and to that end the united states is sending marines to back up security there the german as well as the british embassies will also be under attack in yemen with varying devotees full mccoll has been shown to. inspirations there u.s. marines have a wife to me capital city of summit to try and just use the situation but there have been crack rods that people have been holding up everywhere and some are saying things like today is your last day ambassador in tunis we're hearing that at least two people have died this happened when khalid scaled the rules of the american embassy and managed actually to get inside the compound basic fire on the seven of the trees inside the compound and at the same time they set fire on an american school moving across to levanon at least one person there has died away in a chain restaurant came under fire massive columns have also been gathering not only there in the northern that in the city of tripoli but also expressing anger in
3:05 am
the capital city of beirut at the same time if you could not be away for five days of up to that on tuesday the american ambassador there as well this week a personal needs to begin this mission there has been a terrorist the united states as well as that have been there for two years have an opening to enter this today should there have made several arrests in the hearing from them that they believe that this has all the telltale signs of the taliban sorry i'll kind of and certainly we have seen. at demonstrations elsewhere in the region that this at this moment the mood is incredibly volatile across the region with further demonstrations today saturday indeed it is paul thanks very much for bringing us the subway poles that you're reporting from cairo. author and journalist as she were times he believes this on rast was a long time coming out isn't going to end anytime soon. and now twenty different countries had terrible hear about the deaths of people sensibly over this
3:06 am
ridiculous film but as to where diplomatic relations live with the leaders of those countries we telling washington if they indeed have relations with washington. and it seems like the chicken is coming home to roost it's difficult to see how it could have been. the people who make you feel if he designed this to happen you don't have fire in 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 limiting their mamas policies in the past five years have been so. debilitating to so many millions of people it's not a case of activism as such it was a broad array of people who detest us imperialism and there we can expect more and more to follow and more catalysts on whether we have crazy film or another one of a president obama or president romney's crazy foreign policy ideas because. he will not be the only diplomat. presumably there will be targeted and
3:07 am
it's not a good time now for u.s. diplomats around the world. well there is more opinion on what's happening in the arab world online for you at r.t. dot com you're posting the latest updates they are live as they come in and there's a timeline of how the situation is developing. the suspect the director of the anti muslim film which triggered the panorama arab brown is now under investigation for possible breach of probation by using an alias to publish the movie the man from l.a. has already served a prison term for financial crimes. washington has deployed its marines across the arab world to protect u.s. missions while the white house struggles to contain the fallout america's leadership has can damn the film and stress it had nothing to do with it but as our
3:08 am
count are reports the video is not the only grievance the protestors have against the u.s. . as angry mobs in muslim countries stormed u.s. embassies in bern american flags the u.s. president delivers yet another speech about how good americans 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 recent events showed
3:09 am
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 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 we're 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 the administration is trying to somehow contain the blowback over this 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
3:10 am
against the united states has been brewing for a while and it seems it needed just us bark to blow up and the film tragically provided that spark need ministrations soothing words about democracy don't seem to help much in putting out the flame of rage now sweeping across the arab world in washington i'm going to check out. what words from washington having little effect on the arab protests anti-war activists john reese as their actions the u.s. can take to show its goodwill 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 muslim world that america didn't intend to continue the neo conservative foreign policy of the last ten years or so they could immediately
3:11 am
withdraw the covert assistance which they are they are giving in the syrian in the syrian conflict they could immediately withdraw the sanctions on iran these would be very very serious it was the rather than president obama ringing up 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 the 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.
3:12 am
you're watching r.t. live from moscow russia's opposition is gearing up for its first big rallies after a summer long marches will take place all across the country a largest being in moscow and the for the first time opposition groups will be joined by teachers and other public sector workers well here's our teaser in glasgow. in addition to the staples off the opposition movement which is basically the calls to conduct extraordinary elections into the russian parliament and to 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
3:13 am
of the laws which have been passed or are currently being debated in the state duma which has russia's parliament one such show actually laws 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 set the law which says that all groups which are actively participating in the political lives of the country abut receive funding for 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 is the
3:14 am
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 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 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 to the opposition rally but without their leadership they have received an allowance or so to speak for. of 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 though it's 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 there's also
3:15 am
a second issue because if the rally in june has actually gone down quite peacefully one inmate turned violent with some publications at 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 if it was had to be hospitalized as a result so everybody leading the opposition and of course their thirty's are hoping that there will be no such violence this time that there will be no provocations but 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 of course we'll be bringing you live pictures as well right here on our t.v. . reporting there and later this hour here in r.t. to twitter not to tweet we ask the question. he put out there is true that general public so if you look at it's going to be used against record you know we shouldn't said it you know it's going to incriminate himself that's his own fault after
3:16 am
a new york court orders the release of private tweets the resident wonders whether free speech is at stake on the web. britain has ordered financial watchdogs to investigate possible oil prices scandal traders and city speculators are to use of rigging markets to make sure prize drops aren't passed on to consumers and artie's laura smith reports the costs are pushing up how much britons 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 breaking the petrol price it's meant fulls in the oil price on posts on to consumers making petrol and diesel more expensive in real terms than they've ever seen home price is quick to fill when the oil price rises but very slow to pull when it goes down petrol prices campaign is cooling on they found guilty of breaking the price to go to prison the
3:17 am
scandal follows a huge rise in the price at the pump it's gone up ten p. since early july to around one pound forty elites and that high price builds a down into the entire economy ninety percent of everything we have in our homes is delivered by low rate 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 add on the unemployment rate which is hovering around eight percent at the moment once you know what the alternative is speculating on the one in the price of is one of the consequences of free market
3:18 am
capitalism which often results in corporations getting which sometimes at the expense of ordinary people so imprison the perpetrators they might use but it's unlikely to change much what it will do is divert attention from the government's after all sixty percent of the price consumers pay at the pump is tax the highest in europe. demand for reigning oil is on the rise despite any bargain on american sanctions the international energy agency says iran sold more of its crude and augustana in july when the restrictions came into force the measures are aimed at forcing iran to stop its nuclear program which to iran maintains it's for purely peaceful purposes despite this the country's resources are still in demand with turkey china and india currently the top importers the u.s. treasury meanwhile says sanctions are effective and have slashed iran's crew exports have compared to last year but policy director at the national marine
3:19 am
american council says iran's nuclear program won't suffer anyway. 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 threat of war i think iran is probably continuing down the path that has already already has been on which they should 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 the say she is 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. what unites us
3:20 am
now take a look at some of the stories making headlines around the world china's vice president has appeared in public for the first time in two weeks paintings absence wasn't officially explained fueling rumors about his health and the stability of china's succession process is expected to become the country's next leader and also suggestions of a power struggle before vice-president reported on tenet and events marking national science day. the duke and duchess of cambridge are suing a french magazine after a published topless pictures of kate middleton pictures were taken while the couple were holiday at a private chouteau in france legal proceedings have been launched in the country over alleged breach of privacy would and kate are currently on a tour of southeast asia and the south pacific to mark the queen's diamond jubilee . has agreed to hand over the deleted tweets of an occupy
3:21 am
wall street protest stirrer who's those charged for blocking the brooklyn bridge last year the social network was threatened with sanctions if they didn't get up around three months worth of activists records those tweets allegedly undermine the protesters claims that the police intentionally pushed the crowds into the bridge only to arrest them for stopping traffic. now critics say twitter is decision sets a president were authorities can now pertain information which was assumed to be private residence or harvest went to the streets of new york to find out if people feel less protected. a manhattan judge has ordered twitter 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 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
3:22 am
american expressing his views. you know just trying to get his message out there ok some would call him a terrorist and a person that you might think is a terrorist might feel like they're just expressing them their needs and what they're frustrated by. i don't know if we always seem to be you know. giving you information that you haven't been revealed yet or broadcast yet so i appreciate we're going to hope it never stops because he's put out there for the general public so pissed off local that's going to be used against him in court you know he shouldn't said it you know he'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 how to commit a crime and get away with it and turn on television yeah it's my fault i think the most is thing thing about twitter is if the internet is not journalism but writing
3:23 am
is going to start to say more of a hold than it probably needs to be treated similar sue newspaper ads or other things that might be written in print media and so i'm not sure if twitter should give it up but if they want to start to grow i think they might have to do what about that person's right to their own tweets and their privacy depends how serious the matter is i think yeah i think. that line do you trust the government to draw that line i don't know if you don't want to in the public you don't put it out on. 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.
3:24 am
where the worlds biggest conglomerates bring their business to the most secluded and often sacred corners of the earth they usually heard much more than peoples beliefs of a donta group promised and ancient indian tribe risperidone and a technological leap into the future but as our reader now reports it 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 dong 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 . while some say india could stimulate its economy by accessing its 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 my haji 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 we've been experiencing skin problems tb and also a lot of breathing problems vedanta did not respond to our requests for comment but
3:26 am
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 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 in 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 before the
