bill as to where diplomatic relations like the leaders of those countries will be telling washington if they indeed have relations in washington. it seems like the chicken is coming home to roost it's difficult to see how it could have been averted the people who made them feel he designed this to happen we don't have florida granny creating the ground it theater is in effect the arab world the global south countries that have been devastated by centuries of colonialism of those decades of the us imperialism and nobody can obama's 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 was a broad array of people who detest us imperialism and there we can expect more and more to follow and more catalysts whether it be as crazy film or a other one of the president obama or who knows president romney's crazy foreign
4:06 am
policy ideas because. he will not be the only diplomat. presumably it will be targeted and it's not a good time now for u.s. diplomats around the world well there is more pain on what's happening in the arab world online for you ad r.t. dot com where. we're posting the latest updates there live as they come in and there is a timeline of how the situation is developing. and the suspected director of the anti muslim film which triggered the pan arab wrath is now under investigation for possible brink's of probation by using an alias to publish the movie a man from l.a. has already served a prison term for financial crimes. washington
4:07 am
as a ploy to some marines across the arab world to protect u.s. missions while the white house struggles to contain the fallout america's leadership has condemned the film and stressed it had nothing to do with it but as he's going to get reports the video is not the only grievance the protesters have against the u.s. as angry mobs in muslim countries stormed u.s. embassies and burned 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 approach 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
4:08 am
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 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 are there 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 they've
4:09 am
ministration is trying to somehow contain the blowback over this same type islamic film is by bashing the film and saying that they to 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 us park 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. his words from washington having little effect on the arab protests anti-war activists john reid says there are 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 the muslim world that america didn't intend to continue the
4:10 am
neoconservative current policy of the last ten years or so they could immediately 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 and these would see very very serious six also rather than president obama ringing up president morsi and lecturing him for twenty minutes by all accounts about how his government needs to be more pro-american it would be better if we 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 involvement in the attacks 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 by and to result in

anger across the middle east. russia's opposition is gearing up for its first big rallies after a summer allow marches will take place all across the country the largest being in moscow and 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 as well and presidential
4:12 am
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 laws looking into allowing for a private school for privatizations of schools and hospitals then there's also the issue of trust for an agency said that is that 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 for
4:13 am
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 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 a lesbian rights 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. the city to conduct a march a 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
4:14 am
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 a second issue because if the rally in june has actually gone down quite peacefully one inmate's for and violent with. some publications that are happening in the crowd with some people throwing rocks at the police and actually treating people in the crowd as well and there were arrests made and there were several policemen perhaps it would have 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 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 of course we'll be bringing you live pictures as well right here on our t.v. . reporting there and later this hour to tweet or not to tweet we ask the question . the footnote there for the general public so. it's going to be used against

record you know be sure to said it was going to incriminate him so let's go folks after a new york court orders the release of private tweaks the president wonders whether a free speech and stayed on the web for. britain has ordered financial watchdogs to investigate a possible oil prices scandal try to reason city speculators are accused of bringing markets to make sure price drops are and passed on to consumers and as is 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 breaking the petrol price it's meant fulls in the oil price on pulse on to consumers making petrol and diesel more expensive in will than they've ever been pump prices are quick to fill when the oil price rises but very slow to pull when it goes down petrol price
4:16 am
campaign is calling on they found guilty of breaking the price to go to prison the scandal follows a huge rise in the price at the pump it's gone up ten p. . to around one pound forty elites and that high price spilt of doubt into the entire economy ninety percent of everything we have in our homes is delivered by laurie and with fuel prices so high all it's companies all 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 can travel to get to work and whether they can get new jobs that require some distance to the fuel price can even impact on the unemployment rate which is hovering around eight percent at the moment wants no claim is what the alternative is speculating on the
4:17 am
one in the price is 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 use but it's unlikely to change much what it will do is divert attention from the government's role sixty percent of the price consumers pay at the pump is tax the highest in europe. demand for raining oil is on the rise despite any embargo and american sanctions the international energy agency says to ron sold more of its crude in august and in july when there is strictures came into force and measures are aimed at forcing iran to stop its nuclear program which to iran maintains its for purely peaceful purposes despite this the country's resources are still in demand with china and india currently the top importers the u.s. treasury meanwhile says the sanctions are effective and have slashed iran's crude exports in half compared to last year and
4:18 am
a policy director at the national running 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 iraq is probably continuing down the path of the story already has been on which safe as you know there's no perfect sanctions regime there's always going to be holes there's always going to be loopholes there's always going to be this game of whack a mole where iran responds or than 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. now take

a french magazine after it published topless pictures of kate middleton the pictures were taken while the couple were holidaying at a private chateau in france legal proceedings have been launched in the country over alleged breach of privacy will and kate are currently on a tour of southeast asia and the south pacific to mark the queen's diamond jubilee . twitter has agreed to hand over the deleted tweets of an occupy wall street protester who is among those charged for blocking the brooklyn bridge last year the social network was threatened with sanctions if they didn't give up the month's worth of the activists records tweets allegedly undermine the protesters claims that the police intentionally pushed the crowds to the bridge only to arrest them for obstructing traffic. critics say twitter is decision sets a precedent where 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.
4:21 am
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 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 the person that you might think is a terrorist might feel like they're just expressing them their needs and what they're frustrated. i don't know if we always seem to be you know. giving you information that you haven't been revealed yet or a broadcast yet so i appreciate that a but we're hoping 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 should've
4:22 am
said it you know he's going to incriminate himself that's his own fault that what you say under free speech 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 turn on television. smile faults i think the most interesting thing about twitter is if the internet is not journalism but writing is going to start to save 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 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 a 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
