the muslim protesters in response to an american film. more countries as demonstrations for a fifth day. say face and contain this scandal which ignited a. sentiment that according to opinion polls has been brewing for years. and after a summer break. comes together once again. with public sector workers joining the rally for the first time.

it was a pleasure to have you with us here on r.t. today i'm live in moscow. anti-american protests by muslims have gone global now on their fifth straight day as demonstrators clashed with police outside the u.s. consulate in sydney meantime over in yemen security forces reportedly fired warning shots to disperse a fresh mob gathering near the american embassy there are yemen's al qaeda branches calling for more attacks to expel the u.s. diplomatic missions from muslim countries and then america itself the alleged creator of the controversial. film which sparked the protests has now been questioned by authorities. in a cooler 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 push demo. traitors out of to rear square and away from the u.s.

embassy on step today now with the latest report from cairo. where. if you 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 spent several hours before time in that line and 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 huge chunks of gloss and concrete at the security forces who were firing constant rounds of tear gas overnight it was also an attack by forces on an american base in the afghani stump up in helmand now at least two u.s. movies were killed in the two thousand and its tail the aisle to security perimeter you know that this is also the base where the british prince harry was stationed but that he managed to go on holiday and there have also been protests taking place

as part of field as australia which several hundred protesters chanted messages such as down down usa mississippi to 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 by that mocks prophet muhammad we've seen demonstrations in bangladesh in malaysia in gaza also in iraq in sudan at least three people are known to die 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 the means to back up security where the german as well as the british embassies were also under attack in yemen with varying that these people have been killed in various stations there u.s. marines have a wide capital city of summit to try and just use the situation. in tunis we've

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 seven of the keys inside the compound and at the same time they set fire on an american school moving across to get in on at least one person there has died when a chain restaurant hayman fire massive columns of course at the gathering not only there in the northern middle east if you tickle me this explicitly in the capital city of beirut at the same time if you can appear with the privacy rights to that point to say the american ambassador there as well as me personally needs to be dismissed and there has been a terrorist you know the united states as well as the live in a friend who's had an open investigation there have made several arrests in the hearing from them that they believe that this has all the telltale signs of al qaida and certainly we have seen that means at demonstrations elsewhere in the region such as at this moment the mood is incredibly volatile. poulos we're right

in the meantime dr charlie or the dean of the jindal school of international affairs believes that people should search deeper for the root cause of the protests. but through district nobody in australia or in foreign countries which are obvious from the epicenter of the arab spring region i think those are more spontaneous but libya egypt yemen these are like post evolution of societies and this is where you have seen the brunt of the islands and the skill of the previous seven rather high and i do these are politically orchestrated by local actors who are being backed by some of these rich donors from these don't want to also behind . assad in syria so i see this as a you know in many ways an extension of the proxy war that's going on cd it was so fierce an extreme fundamentalist have been unleashed in the name of toppling the assad regime the same some of these are not many just of intelligent violent and reactionary man who do outrank you feel that you have been ignored it is

a connection did not these you cannot separate dream we need to look at it in all of you to get the right guy. well here at our table also closely following the violence that continues to unfold throughout the arab world of course of doing it r t v dot com always a protest timeline in-depth analysis as well as the full profile of the man behind the now scandalous anti muslim film you can log on to find out more. in the meantime i washington is struggling to contain the scandal condemning the controversial film while calling for calm but it's not his guy nature can report so the anti american fury has deeper roots than a simple reaction to a clip on you cheer. as angry mobs in muslim countries stormed u.s. embassies and burn 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. and that we care not just about our own country not just about our own interests but about theirs that even as voices of suspicion and 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 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 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 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 flames of rage now sweeping across the arab world in washington i'm going to. and antiwar activist john reese says washington isn't doing enough to calm the fury ongoing in the muslim world. 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 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 was the rather than president obama ringing up president morsi and lecturing him for twenty minutes by all accounts about how his

government knew more pro-american it will be better if we dealt with the people whose own country 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 it's important in the attack on libya now 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. while the u.s. may feel was also offended the muslim community here in russia which makes up about fifteen percent of the population however a protest rallies are being held in the country over it and some of russia's muslim officials have condemned the anti american riots abroad the head of russia's republic of chechnya says violence will not be tolerated but i'm done cut that off i did however condemn the film stressing that those behind it are the ones

responsible for the killing of innocents by angry protesters. it is just after ten minutes past the hour moscow time this is on t.v. russia's opposition has gathered its first major demonstration following a some a break however in much smaller numbers than previously seen for the first time the anti-government movement is joined by public sector workers. going off is there the rally to tell us the latest now what's developing this hour you go to see you now you and i was speaking just a few moments all fair you were saying the numbers are really dwindling at the

moment what is the scene of the demonstration. of the rally has been going on the peacefully the official part is over now and well i think it's fair to say that by this point well only around fifteen hundred well maximum two thousand people activists protesters of me here in central moscow earlier but we said that up to twelve thousand protesters attended the rally opposition leaders seats tens of thousands of people but since the rally was awful right still. moscow time it's fair to say that the majority of the protesters left we need more than one of the a radical leaders of the opposition. of the opposition is that you know that soft is still calling from time to time on the remaining protesters to stay but judging by the situation i think it's very unlikely that there will be any money done in moscow this saturday i tell you go to as you say as you say the numbers

a down at this point in the early moscow evening is now at about seven twelve pm now but are suffering their voices were heard today what exactly are the people calling for. been hearing different demands from those. connected with social issues like to freeze the growth of tariffs for utility bills and to raise the salaries of those working in the social sphere also when it comes to the political demands it's early presidential and parliamentary elections there's been lots of criticism of rounds of several new laws which are going to recently passed like the law on foreign agents which basically puts n.g.o.s was born sponsors under special government control and also this law which is aimed at protecting children from potentially harmful content in the media well of course lots of talk is around the controversial pussy riot gays this case also around one of the now

former deputies of the state duma who was released from his duties and meet people here believe that is because of his connection with the opposition but well just to tell you a little bit about the people who came here today they do represent very different movements and do do have very different views from his to do socialists communists and liberals to gay rights activists and environmental so it's very unlikely that they will be able to meet anywhere else and i think that rallies like this they do provide a platform for all of them to be able to voice their personal views freely all right how it is that you're going to live in such a muster thank you. and a political analyst. says that opposition leaders don't provide the support with the clarity and motivation needed to unite them. speaking about the number of the demonstrators we have already seen that they were waiting in the big keep waiting

for us and. months once again is the response all the rules and regulations we have to move out of the very spirit. bring people in the very most of age that bring people into the streets and those people who really need to be motivated the mole in all the agenda that they are all having those national leave the community and so on the liberals the ones that age talking to people asking for different things only is only confusing for the girls of the population because they cannot stolz and these are the for the opposition movement. across roots levels they still face a lot of problems and challenges and they don't get much the bowls from the official of the grassroots and that is the fault. this is still to come for this hour the right to tweet. there for the general public so look

of it's going to be used against one court you know. it's going to incriminate himself. twitter is forced to surrender private records to a new york quarter we ask the people in the big city if they're concerned about their own internet freedom. and there's been an increase in. health issues between. the. london based enterprise targets of india with promises of prosperity and progress however the true costs proved to be an awful lot higher the full story just ahead. now britain has launched an investigation into the scandal involving oil traders and city speculators who allegedly rigged markets to hike up the prices at the pump or the soaring cost of fuel in the u.k. uproar among consumers already struggling with the country's double dip recession

this latest report laura smith. 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 posts on to consumers making petrol and diesel more expensive in real time than they've ever seen pump prices are quick to fill when the oil price rises but very slow to cool 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. . to around one pound forty elites and that high price filtered 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

things but the consumer is 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 at the moment wants to know what the alternative is speculating on what is the price of it 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 after all sixty percent of the price consumers pay at the pump is tax the highest in europe. one of the founder of a british company out of a fair fuels u.k.

says the country's recession is directly related to that of your oil prices. there is actually ok it's very. there are many families who are having to choose between food and actual diesel in the car or less mall wound it really is that bad prices are now all commodities back at record levels the petrol and diesel are all keeping which we present to the u.k. government in the high petulant diesel prices are one of the major call that the economy has slipped back into recession the fact here a families are having to spend. they simply cannot. make the economy. part of the pump prices in the u.k. now to iranian oil that is once again in high demand despite an e.u. embargo and u.s.

sanctions i think the national energy agency says tehran sold more crude in or go stand july despite being hit with additional international restrictions and the measures are aimed at forcing iran to end its nuclear program which tehran maintains it's peaceful but now the agency says oil sales are edging over a million barrels a day of the country's resources much in demand in turkey china and india currently the top importers meanwhile the u.s. treasury claims the sanctions are yielding results and eventually slashed iran's crude exports. policy director of the national iranian american council says tehran's nuclear ambitions they 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 iran is probably continuing down that path that has 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 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 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 food but the end of the day that didn't actually yield anything but massive humanitarian suffering suffering and then eventually this movement for disasters invasion. but now it's time here on our two you will start with spain where tens. thousands of demonstrators from all across the country now 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 the latest round of austerity is expected to

boost spain's economy and keep it from seeking a multi-billion euro bailout. police in south africa have fired rubber bullets at striking mine workers in the magic area and this after a raid on hostels used by workers resulted in the arrest of at least she's already halted production of several platinum and gold mines the unrest erupted last month off the police shot dead thirty four striking workers. a new york criminal court has forced twitter to surrender 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 it prison that you might think is a terrorist might feel like they're just expressing them there 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 we're going to hope it never stops there for the general public so. it's going to be used against when 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 state 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. on television. 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. other things that might be written in print media 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 that person's right to their own tweets and their privacy depends how serious the mire

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 it in the public you don't put it out on the public. so. 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. but from this is are now in big business arrives in a small town where the promise of employment and opportunity is never far behind but when the dream turns sour it's often the little people who are left to pick up the pieces. that one indian community who are refusing to back down. it's one of the most serene and sacred places in india me i'm gary hills home to

the dong khan tried it 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 and its refineries specially built nearby but the social and environmental costs have been high. 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 and leave 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 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 the illusion which is led to many health issues. and. 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 company that have just been broken and that they not 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. who will work towards our development and he will not say we want to live the way we did go down to came here and it seems like they might have the chance to do just that the dungaree ican say they'll fight for what's there is no matter who they're up against preassure either party or india. but in a just a few minutes here at r.t. we'll be talking to a young woman who overcame losing and to go on to set a new world record a london paralympics that'll be interesting moment after the headlines.
