an. the wrath of muslim protesters in response to an american film mocking is. more countries. today we report from the front line. thousands take to the streets of egypt capital street battles between protesters and security forces in front of the american embassy at least one person is killed in the worst mining since the brotherhood comes to. washington to save face and contain the scandal which ignited a keg of anti american sentiment that according to opinion polls has been brewing for years. and after

a summer break russia's opposition comes together once again in demonstration with public sector workers now joining the rally the first time. it's a pleasure to have you with us here on r.t. today. life in the russian capital fierce anti american protests by muslims have gone global on their fifth straight day as demonstrators clashed with police outside the u.s. consulate in sydney i mean time over in yemen security forces reportedly fired warning shots to disperse a fresh more gathering there near the american embassy in the u.s. itself the alleged creator of the controversial film which sparked the protests has now been questioned by authorities. is suspected of violating his probation after being released from prison last year after doing time for financial crimes

meanwhile on rest also continues in egypt where police pushed demonstrators out of to rear square and away from the u.s. embassy on saturday all the latest details in our. reports from cairo. look behind me you will see the security barrier that the security forces bulled on friday morning and this was to try and stop protest is reaching the american embassy which is just on the other side i spend several hours pool time in that environment because there's simply no way to run to all the shops and barricaded the windows as well as the doors that the hotels in the area have closed down that continues pretty frightening when you have protesters on the one side holding these chunks of gloss and concrete at the security forces who were firing constant rounds of tear gas overnight there was also an attack by the city on an american base in the afghanistan problem of helmand now at least to be doing this movie as it were killed in the atlantic stale the aisle to security perimeter know that this is also

the base the way the british prince harry was stationed but that he managed to go on hard and there have also been protests taking place as khalid field as australia wait several hundred protesters chanted messages such as down down usa in the city you see to the 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 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 tried to reach the american embassy and to that end the united states is sending marines to back up security where the german as well as the british embassies were also under attack in yemen with varying that of these poor people have been the

children various patients there u.s. marines have a wife to be kept the city of sun up to try and diffuse the situation in two minutes we're hearing that if these two people have died this happened when khalid scaled the rules of the american embassy and managed actually to get inside the car . basically fire on some of the keys inside the compound and at the same time they set fire on an american school even close to eleven on at least one person there has been a chain restaurant hayman fire massive crowds have also been gathering not only there in newton or the east of tripoli but also expressing anger in the capital city of beirut at the same time if you take the findings to. the american ambassador as well this week personal needs to be dismissed and there has been the united states as well as the live in a first news having opened an investigation there have made several away from hearing from them that they believe that this has all the telltale signs are all

kind of incident we have seen all kind of things at demonstrations i'll swim in the regions at this at this moment the mood is incredibly volatile. let's go live now to sydney and get some more reaction from middle east analyst it's good to see you today thanks for coming on the program we were just listening to our correspondent paula so we are in cairo she was talking about the regional tensions there but we also know in sydney the muslims there have also made a scene of muslims that they really make up a very small percentage of the population in australia yet hundreds already clashing with police outside the u.s. consulate does it come to you as a surprise. oh and so it does not come. from community. it was actually the. subsection. of the. shoes of the great. it's a jewel. in the book and there it was. protesting the

actions and some of the actions in two regions of the quarter which is almost certainly just tends to often lead attorney to internalize the city and if you can play the innocent kids around this for you know. a contrast to. also with his own entity who knew subculture of the. list and. so it wasn't just wasn't so much the building you know. do you think that you think that this the showing of anger outside the u.s. consulate in sydney do you think there are other factors involved perhaps some of them involved some of the people involved were just looking for an excuse to voice their anger over a broad range of issues. there is an opportunistic. tends to be. over the years the instrument.

of growing conservatism and should i say. it's not an excuse what happened today. and. certainly as you and i speaking at the moment we've been showing pictures on our show quite an aggressive response by the police there and said trying to well basically crack down on these protesters there but now according to opinion polls america's popularity in the muslim world has been falling in the past number of years so how would you explain that. somehow it was for the. wrong. turn and. the wrong to the point was foreign policy so in this case. there are

no standards that's. between. israel and. find this is probably the number one this is not. so it's one of the also it's possible. for you i mean. but you talk about the hypocrisy of the u.s. when it comes to foreign policy i mean one thing i must ask you is that you know here we have a u.s. embassies and consulates around the world that are basically under attack and out of washington says that it doesn't that it doesn't consider the attacks on its embassies to be an act of war so it might be surprising to some of what's holding america back because it perhaps fear of not fueling the tension even further. one minute the u.s. has strategic interests in the region. and i don't want to happen because of the terrorist incident. that declares that. the others were an election

in the united states is not an election. in order to find out there's a lot of mama. obama's going to hold up fine line. into consideration you know the rest of. the manse which expect him to act. because when norwich on. international relations. was one of them or now is that it's not just about us. just the prophets you know more it's meant to us. it's what's happening in some ways you can egypt for example. when you find. the mystic. each other. person is. the sum of its muslims. and something like. this also. knows what to do to.

people. who. are committed to trying to ignorance legitimacy and you didn't. i mean once again not religious but. preaching to the fire. ministry. certainly has given a lot of a lot of groups around the world a reason to to get together to coagulate and certainly a joining chorus what with their with their with a i suppose a certain subset in this and just being frustrated with what's going on with this film that allegedly. middle east analyst at the university of sydney where on day five of these protests and i will we'll see if they show any sign of calling down for now their notes but thanks very much for coming on the r.t. program today thank you. but we're also we're closely following the violence that

continues to unfold throughout the arab world at r.t. dot com with the protest timeline and in-depth analysis as well as the full profile of the man behind the scandalous anti muslim film you can log on to find out. now washington is struggling to contain this ongoing scandal as always you're saying though it's we're into the fifth day of protests now washington condemning the controversial film while also calling for calm but it's not he's gone a teacher can report to the n.c. american fury has deeper roots than a simple reaction to a clip on you chew. as angry mom does in muslim countries stormed u.s. embassies in burn 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 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 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 had 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 they've ministration is trying to somehow contain the blowback over the same type 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 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 the us made film is also a friend of the muslim community here in russia which makes up around fifteen percent of the population however no protest rallies are being held in the country at this point some of russia's muslim officials have condemned the anti american riots abroad and the head of russia's republic of chechnya says. will not be tolerated but i was on it cut it off did however condemn the film stressing that those behind it are the ones responsible for the killing of innocents by angry protesters.

it's a quarter past the hour moscow time this is our teeth thanks for joining us russia's opposition has gathered for what is expected to become its first large demonstration since june and for the first time the anti-government movement is joined by public sector workers are going off standing by for us live right now your god it's good to see you can you tell us right now i know there are crowds behind you there on the big screen t.v.'s stage at least one or two of them what's happening at the demonstration as we as we look at it. well so far everything has been going on quite peacefully police say that the rally was. visited by attended by around twelve thousand people opposition leaders say we could have been tens of thousands of activists i can tell you that even though the rally was authorized until ten pm moscow time most of the protesters have left before that radical opposition leader said you guys off has been calling on the protesters to stay put but judging by the situation it's really very likely that while there will

be no my done here in moscow this saturday or you go to we suddenly got some swelling crowds i'm not really sure what the figures are at this point but regardless of the numbers what about the voices what exactly have people calling for that. we are hearing very different demands both on social issues like the freeze of tariffs for utility bills and the arrays of salaries for budgets steer workers to political demands like early presidential elections and in early parliamentary elections there's lots of criticism being voiced around a set of new laws which have been recently passed like a lot of n.g.o.s and so the law aimed at protecting children from potentially harmful content in the media of course the controversial pussy riot case is also being discussed and so is the case around now former deputy of the state duma who

was released from his duties just yesterday and many people here say that is because of his connection with the opposition when it comes to the people who came to this rally will they do represent very different movements probably these movements would not ever be able to meet anywhere like anarchists and. nationalist communists socialists liberals two gay rights activists and environmentalists so obviously they do. very different believes. this rally i guess is a good platform for them to be able to voice freely with their personal views all right are you going to live in central moscow thank you. good to have you with us here on r t r still ahead for you this hour the right to tweet. for the general public so. it's going to be used against one court you know we shouldn't said it was going to incriminate himself that's his own fault as twitter is forced to surrender private records to

a new york court and we asked the people in the city if they're concerned about their internet. now britain has launched an investigation into the scandal involving oil traders and city speculators who allegedly rigged markets to hike up the pump prices are soaring cost of fuel in the u.k. saw among consumers are already struggling with the country's double dip recession . this latest report. 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 raking over the petrol price it's meant fulls in the oil price on passed on to consumers making petrol and diesel more expensive in real time than they've ever seen pump price is quick to fill when the oil price rises but very slow to pull 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 he'd been. around one pound forty in the. high price filtered 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 all it's companies are full of to post. to consumers making literally everything food clothes to messick 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 if it's on the unemployment rate which is hovering around eight percent once you know what the alternative is speculating on the money it's the price is one of the consequences of free market capitalism which often results in corporations getting

rich 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. petrol pump prices in the u.k. now to iranian oil which as i want to get into bondage despite. an e.u. embargo on u.s. sanctions the international energy agency says tehran sold more of crude in all goods done in july despite being hit with even more international restrictions are the measures are aimed at forcing iran to end its nuclear program which tehran maintains is for peaceful purposes but now the agency says oil sales are edging over a million barrels a day of the country's resources are much in demand in china and india currently the top importers meanwhile the u.s. treasury claims the sanctions are yielding results that have actually slashed

iran's crude exports but the policy director of the national iranian american council says nuclear ambitions won't be affected at all. 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 that it's already already has been on sanctions you know there's no perfect sanctions regime there's always going to be a whole there's always going to be loopholes there's always going to be this game of whack a mole where you draw a response in the u.s. tries to ratchet up and you're never going to get a perfect embargo. so i think that the question 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 have been doing well for crude but the end of

the day that didn't actually yield anything but massive humanitarian suffer suffering and then eventually this movement for a disastrous invasion. all right it's a world of daytime here on r.t. will start with spain where tens of thousands of demonstrators are marching through the streets of madrid in protest against new economic reforms the government is due to announce a fresh set of spending cuts by the end of the month with public sector workers fearing they'll be hit the hardest by the latest round of austerity is expected to boost spain's economy and keep it from seeking a multi-billion euro bailout. the new un envoy to syria says the crisis in the country is escalating and poses a danger to the entire world locked up or he me is now in damascus he's already met with the president out of president assad as well as some diplomats and opposition leaders of both the rebels and government forces though still ignore the calls to end the fighting battles continuing in syria's main cities including i left homes

british activists say that one hundred sixty people were killed across the nation on friday. a new york criminal court has forced twitter to surrender the records of an occupy wall street protester who is among those charged for blocking the brooklyn bridge last year at the social network was threatened with fines if it didn't give in to the prosecutor's request for the tweets allegedly undermine the protesters claim that the police intentionally pushed the crowds onto the bridge only to arrest them for obstructing traffic. well the battle for access to the activists tweets attracted mass attention with many saying prosecutors are violating privacy laws our resident lawyer half mr hits the streets of new york to find out how people really feel about the virtual freedoms. 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 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 broadcast yet so i appreciate we're going to hope that never stops to see footnote out there for the general public so if locals it's going to be used against him in court you know he 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 to commit a crime and get away with it and do it on television you know 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 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. public do you know what cave it is so yeah it's kind of a canvas screaming out a window and you're posting it on the internet bedrock 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. it's good to have you with us here on r.t. today you know just a few minutes we report on the faith of a man who's been led to death rows execution chamber ten times only to be told his death has been delayed a special report from deep inside a texas prison in just a. wealthy
