6:02 am
has been pushed back wiped out of this area although there are still a few hundreds on on saturday morning but certainly nothing like the scenes we were witnessing over the past few days there is still a pretty strange to off 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 is reaching the american embassy which is just on the other side i spent several hours one time in that line and because there's simply no way to run to all the shops a barricaded the windows as well as the doors by the hotels in the area had closed down and that continued pretty frightening when you have protesters on the one side holding these two chunks of glass and concrete at the security forces who were firing constant rounds of tear gas overnight there was also an attack by forces on an american base in the afghani stump up in helmand now at least two of us movies were killed in the atlantic stale the isle to security perimeter you know that this
6:03 am
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 australia with civil hundred protesters chanted messages such as down down you escape the police the city this into a gas to disperse those crowds the demonstrations are now spreading like wildfire across north africa and the middle east of course the anger being expressed on the streets is anger against this american made film that that mocks prophet mohammed we've seen demonstrations in bags the dish 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 tried to reach the american embassy and to that end the united states is sending remains to back up security where the german as well as the british embassies were also under attack. in yemen with these people have been killed or wounded in space and they're u.s.
6:04 am
marines have wives kept the city of sun up to try and defuse the situation in tunis we're hearing that at least two people have died this happened when khalid scaled the walls of the american embassy and managed to get inside the compound basically fire on some of the keys inside the compound and at the same time they set fire on an american school even a constant levanon at least one person there has died in a chain restaurant hayman fire massive columns of course at the gathering not only there nor the middle east if you tickle me look at this it's a prison and in the capital city of beirut at the same time if you take the deal with the fighters up to that point to say the american ambassador there as well as any other personal needs to do this mission there has been a terrorist the united states as well as the live in the first years have been opened an investigation there have made several arrests in the hearing from them that they believe that this has all the telltale signs are kind of the mood is
6:05 am
incredibly volatile across the region with the demonstrations today saturday. policy there from cairo what in the meantime a journalist afshin rattansi believes that well this arrest was a long time coming and it's not going to end anytime soon. and now twenty different countries had terrible hear about the deaths of people sensibly over this ridiculous film but as to where diplomatic relations live the leaders of those countries will be telling washington if they indeed have relations with washington . and it seems like the chicken is going on to roost it's difficult to see how it could have been. people who make me feel he designed this to happen we don't have fire in a granny tree as in the crowded 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 in their manners policies in the past five years have been so. debilitating to so many millions of people it's not
6:06 am
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 they will be targeted and it's not a good time now for u.s. diplomats around the world. there is a much more opinion and what's happening in the arab world online fuel dot com of course our web site here we are posting the latest. right as they come in it's also a timeline of how the situation is developing. los angeles police interview the suspected director of the american made and seen muslim film which triggered an arab run the islamic contrast i don't see it on.
6:07 am
this is 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 condemned the film and stressed it had nothing to do with it but as a tease guy nature kind reports the video is now the only grievance the protesters have. 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 were really are and have been in the muslim world america's a front 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
6:08 am
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 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
6:09 am
relatives that have been killed in this process and we're building an enemy's 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 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. and i with the words are from washington having little effect on the arab protests greece says their actions the u.s. can take to show its goodwill and try and calm the situation down. i would say that
6:10 am
there are a number of things that should be done immediately first of all what the troops should be withdrawn from are going to stand immediately that would be a huge signal in the muslim world that america didn't intend to continue the neo conservative foreign policy of earth the last ten years or so they could immediately withdraw the covert assistance which 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's 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 who don't can be 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
6:11 am
include his involvement in the attack on libya so surely it should be a moment where a responsible leader of a country that has done that take some action on a film is produced of this kind which in those circumstances is bound to result in anger across the middle east. well or russia's muslim population has also been offended by the u.s. made film protest rallies have been staged in the country which are several predominately muslim regions at the leader of one of these are russia's republic of chechnya has said no violence will be allowed to take place but they cut off criticized those who incite mass unrest with anti islamic films and publications in fact that he said russia's most simple leaders were outraged by the hatred towards their faith expressed in the film it off said the u.s. should prosecute creators of the film and charge them for the deaths of the people killed in the protests which included the american ambassador to libya.
6:12 am
live from moscow this is our two rushers open walks out on what is expected to grow into its first big rally after a summer low marches are taking place all across the country the largest being staged right here in moscow and for the first time opposition groups are joined by teachers and other public sector workers all these are going to go it's a sunny bar for us live right now really good to see you can you just explain to me and i know if you as well what exactly is the protest all about. well from the
6:13 am
beginning these protests were at ballots at the change of government basically they called for free elections and for extraordinary parliamentary and presidential elections but now they have decided to add several social issues to the list of grievances among them is the empowerment of labor unions the creation of a greater pensions increase in salary wages but they're also saying that there are several laws which there are within a month as there is a lot of people in the. foreign aid agency which should means that every group which is actively participating in the political life of the country would be fully present for where its finest coming from and. they would have to make a note here that every group which is being funded from the broad will be thoroughly examined the force that doesn't concern groups which are being funded about by the russians or from within russia no there is also there is also disagreement over a one particular state duma deputies was just effected from the state duma for
6:14 am
overstepping his official. powers the opposition though the opposition leaders are saying that is that because of his affiliation with them but really it's a wide variety of troops and people of all coming here to express what they're unhappy with how we're talking about everybody from ultra nationalists to a group supporting gay and lesbian rights even tool something that i would call ultra christian opposition groups which are literally going to go against the flow they're going to walk against the current at all as they march according to them and i'm quoting right now this entire affair is something that's been thought out by satan so really a wide range of people here must not forget that the communist party is also making their appearance at this rally but generally they have been there for being there valley says separately but this time is the round it is decided to join it the opposition is well must not forget of course also the fact that one of the biggest
6:15 am
slogans here today is pussy riot that their people are calling for freedom to move the event the three members of the punk group elected who were found guilty of inciting religious hatred and looking as i'm just in august of this year after their. whole function here at the crisis neighborhood are also a lot about it was show of support for that group here as well so people are gathering in the center and then that will be taking a walk down the boulevard bring in moscow i mean as you say as you say it is quite tough to talk about all of the different political demands but because as you just mentioned there are so many groups taking part in this rally here that when it's when it comes to the number of people last year we did see quite a large amount come out of the streets of what it was about a number if you think of the same about maybe less maybe more this time around. well it will be interesting to see because the last rally but they have held until this one that was in june and they have gathered around twenty five thousand different people and of course the. issue with these rallies is that
6:16 am
generally what happens is that the police gives you one number which is usually a lot less that what the opposition leaders are saying they have actually gathered for example this time around at the moment we're looking at around five thousand according to the ministry of interior at the same time the organizers are saying that they have amassed already fifteen thousand right here in the center of moscow they are not allowed to bring out more than twenty five thousand by the way of course to one of the problems is also that day everybody's waiting to see if any of the problem patients will be happening during the rallies in may there were people who were throwing stones and rocks at the police that those the protests have turned violent but the ones that were happening in june it actually worked quite peaceful so there is hope both among the police among the thirty's and among the protesters that this time around there will be a nonda of that happening so of course we'll be bringing you more pictures you
6:17 am
probably are seeing pictures of what's happening in the center of moscow live right now we'll be bringing you more as it happens throughout the day indeed we shall here on our. thank you. art a lot of us all here on our tweets or not to tweet we ask the question. put another there for the general public so. it's going to be used against me in court you know we said it you know he's going to incriminate himself. well after new york court orders the release of private tweets so the resident wonders whether free speech is at stake on the web. for now britain has ordered financial watchdogs to investigate a possible oil prices scandal the traders on city speculators who are accused of rigging markets to make sure that price drops are not passed on to the consumers. reports the costs of pushing up britain's pay for all of the goods. the city is
6:18 am
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 real terms than they've ever seen pump prices are quick to fill when the oil price rises very slow to full when it goes down petrol price campaigners are 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. since early july to around one pound forty elites and that high price builds is down into the entire economy ninety percent of everything we have in our homes is delivered by laurie and with fuel prices so high school it's companies are full of to post that expense to consumers making literally everything food clothes domestic
6:19 am
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 travelling some distance to the fuel price can even if it's on the unemployment rate which is hovering around eight percent at the moment what's not clear is what the alternative is speculating on what is 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 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 in europe. lower smith right now if there are across that's your live pictures for you here in our to your in. well tens of thousands are on the streets so once again
6:20 am

6:21 am
at the beginning of august forcing the closure of full mines belonging to anglo american platinum that is now the world's largest producer. for duchess of cambridge are suing a french magazine published topless pictures of kate middleton at the pictures were taken while the couple will hold a day at a private chateau in france a legal proceedings have been launched in the country over alleged breach of privacy william and kate currently they want to se asia and the south pacific to mark the queen's diamond jubilee. has agreed to hand over the deleted tweets of an occupy wall street protester who was among those charged for blocking the brooklyn bridge last year of a social network was threatened with sanctions if it didn't give up around three months worth of the activists records to a new york. treats allegedly undermine the protesters claim to the police intentionally. the crowds onto the bridge only to arrest them for obstructing
6:22 am
traffic. well critics say that are twitter's decision sets of president where authorities can now obtain information which was assumed to be private our senator laurie often is to enter 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 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
6:23 am
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 broadcast yet so i appreciate that about we're going to hope that never stops as he's put out there for the general public so. it's going to be used against when court you know we shouldn't set 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 or to commit a crime and get away with it and do it on television you know smile felt i think the most interesting thing about twitter is 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
6:24 am
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. kind of screaming out a window or posting it on the internet. so things like most people agree because social media is more important role in social justice change and counterculture the laws around social media are going to have to evolve as well. this is where the worlds biggest conglomerates bring their business to the most. sacred corners of the earth they usually heard much more than just people's beliefs the. tribe of prosperity and the technological leap into the future.
