the wrath of muslim protestors in response to an american film mocking islamic countries as demonstrations raged for a fifth day. washington braces to say facing contain the scandal which ignited a powder keg of anti-american sentiment but according to opinion polls has been brewing for years. and after a summer break russia's opposition comes together once again but in smaller numbers and with public sector workers joining the rallies for the first time.

international news and comment from the new center in moscow this is r t with you twenty four hours a day 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 over in yemen security forces reportedly fired warning shots to disperse a fresh mob gathering near the american embassy yemen's al qaeda branch is calling for more attacks to expel u.s. diplomatic missions from muslim countries and in america itself the alleged creator of the controversial islam which sparked the protests has been questioned by authorities it could have a cell in a cooler they suspected of violating his probation after being released from prison last year after doing time for financial crimes meanwhile unrest also continues in egypt where police pushed demonstrators out of tahrir square and away from the u.s. embassy on saturday. is that. if you look behind me you will see the security. area

that the security forces built 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 and barricaded the windows as well as the doors that the hotels in the area have closed down and that continues pretty frightening when you have protesters on the one side holding these huge chunks of gloss 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 ninety's and it's stale the aisle to security perimeter you know that this is also the base the way 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 where several hundred protesters chanted messages such as down and down the u.s. state of mississippi 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 mohammad we've seen demonstrations in value the dish in malaysia in gaza also in iraq in sudan at least three people are known to die in demonstrations in the capital city of cartoon 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 hearing that if these people had been still doing various stations there u.s. marines have a quiet community capital city of summit to try and diffuse the situation in tunis we're hearing that if these two people have died this happened when called scaled the rules of the american embassy and managed actually to get inside the compound basically fire on the. one of the pieces by the compound and at the same time as

a file on an american school or even a concert to more than one at least one person there has to a way to change the restaurant fire massive crowd sourcing gathering not only there in northern and eastern turkey but also it's facing a capital city of beirut at the same time if you look at the way the fighting for the two countries told the american ambassador as well this week i've personally seen the western suburbs have. the united states as well as the live in a focus have an opening to enter the situation would have made several arrests and hearing from them that they believe that this has all the telltale signs i'll kind of second we had seen al-qaeda linked at demonstrations elsewhere in the region such as at this moment the world is incredibly volatile. and dr. dean of the school of international affairs believes people should search deeper for the root cause of the protests but protester don't 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 evolutionary societies and this is weird you have seen the brunt of the winds and the skill of the progress seven rather high and i do these are politically orchestrated by noble actors who are being backed by some of these rich donors from these don't want to also behind them dollar through assad in syria so i see this as a you know it in many ways an extension of the proxy war that is going on in syria where so if it's an extreme fundamentalists have been unleashed in the name of toppling the assad regime the seams selfies are no money just to themselves in a violent and reactionary manner to a cranky food that you know been ignored is a connection did not these you can are you know separate dream from shall we need to look at it not all of it together right our we're also closely following the violence that continues to unfold throughout the arab world at r.t. dot com that's a website a lot of the time with the pope. timeline and in-depth analysis is what is the full

profile of the man behind the scandalous anti muslim film you can log on to find out more on that. washington struggling to contain the scandal condemning the controversial film while calling for calm but authorities got to reports the anti-american fury has deeper roots than a simple reaction to a u. cheap clip. 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 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 their. 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 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 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. do you want to miss joel reese's washington isn't doing enough to calm the anger 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 the in the 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 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 murray very serious ignores the 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 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. u.s. made film has also offended 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 some of russia's muslim officials have condemned the anti american rights abroad the head of russia's republican chechnya says that violence will not be tolerated. however condemn the film stressing that those behind it are the ones responsible for the killing of innocents by angry protesters.

this is all t can be live from the russian capital coming up to eleven minutes past the hour now russia's opposition has gathered its first major demonstration following a summer break however in much smaller numbers than previously and for the first time the anti-government movement is joined by public sector workers will his artie's he has been off his life day in central moscow that it's happening at the demonstration at the moment there you go the was the official part of the rallies all were police say that he was attended by up to twelve thousand people the opposition leaders say it's tens of thousands but i can tell you if the rally was authorized until ten pm moscow time most of the protesters left away before that one of the more radical leaders of the opposition sort of yoga itself was actually speaking again right now he's calling on those remaining not to leave so well right

now i can tell you it's maybe a thousand to twelve twelve hundred people tops the now a number of movements with different interest in taking part in this rally what exactly are the people then calling for. we're going to hearing very different demands ranging from social related issues like to freeze the tariffs for utility bills and raise the salaries of social sector workers to political demands away early presidential and parliamentary elections there's also been very much of criticism all of the new laws which have been passed recently like the one on n.g.o.s on foreign agents which basically of why edges and geos to be on or special government control if they have four sponsors there's also the one which is aimed at protecting children from content in the media which could be potentially harmful

to many here say that it's a new form of censorship many other issues were discussed including of course the controversial. cases we talk about the p. who came here they do represent completely different movements and. from. communist socialist democrats liberals to gay rights activists and environmentalists and it's very unlikely that they would be able to meet anywhere else so rallies like this are a good platform for them to be able to voice their personal views freely. thanks very much indeed for that you know forest in central moscow and political analyst alexander. says that opposition leaders don't provide their supporters but the clarity and motivation needed to unite them. with the demonstrators we already seen waning in the big keep waiting. and my point again is that the rules and regulations would have to be very

spirit. people and the very motivation that brings people into the streets and those people who really need to be motivated to bowl in terms of the agenda. at the national leave. and so on and liberals. talking to people asking for different things only is only confusing to the population because they cannot. solve the opposition movement. they still face a lot of problems and challenges and they. support from the officials of the grassroots and that is the. still had the right to tweet freely. put that out there for the general public so. it's going to be used against mccord

you know he said it was going to incriminate himself. which was forced to surrender private records to. the people in the city if they can. internet freedom. the first britain has launched an investigation into the scandal involving oil traders and city speculators who allegedly rigged markets to hike pump prices the soaring cost of fuel in the u.k. so uproar among consumers already struggling with the country's double dip recession smith reports. 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 pulse on to consumers making petrol and diesel more expensive in real terms than they've ever been pump prices are quick to fill when the oil price rises very slow to full when it goes down

petrol price 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 feet in the early july to around one pound forty elites and that high price spilt of 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 on to consumers making literally everything food clothes domestic appliances more expensive it also impacts on labor mobility say 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 of 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 perpetrator as 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. with the founder of a british campaign fair fuel you can he says the country's recession is directly related to the old 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 their small wound it really is that band prices are now almost back at record levels for petrol and diesel are all keeping which we present to the u.k. government is high petrol and diesel prices are one of the major called that the

economy has slipped back into recession the actually huge if families are having to spend nearly eight you know ninety pounds sterling to show back how are they simply cannot spend on all the other things that make the economy moving. tens of thousands of spaniards are marching through the streets of madrid in protest against a new wave of measures the government is due to announce a fresh set of spending cuts by the end of the month well for more on this i'm joined live by a large she's an economics professor and labor market specialist at the business school in madrid now teachers firemen and other public sector workers they're being hardest hit by. why spain's wealthiest citizens being made to play their part in this this is something which of course is making those affected by these these latest round of austerity cuts very angry. that's true but we have to remember also that at the very beginning of this when the conservative government to power. the

income tax and it's quite sharply progressive. you know with the budget deficit also raise the tax on. families that have. you know assets property and so there. really. are. the unemployment level in spain is what almost twenty five percent and it's really the younger generation being affected most there you are in a business school what do you say to your students one of their future prospects is very difficult. young. were reduced. we don't have statistics of course but i would say. close to half of them are looking outward you see it is janet jobs but you'll see people going to the u.k. where there are a couple years i brush my teeth we're actually going to latin american looking for

work engine using a few france would you really are switzerland somewhere in the united states so there is an exodus. of young people from you mentioned some countries there which of course in the eurozone so the prospects in the neighboring countries. not much better so you really are looking at have to go much further afield as you say that in america this is a desperate situation for those younger generations of them. that's right it's very difficult and especially. to stay close to heart this is one of the european countries where you know the least i see a great said to it is because since it is a very. close one tree the young people whose generations before sour how it will come back i would assume the majority would come back because you know spaniards love their country and you know they asked me about it so they come back with qualifications and language just as the spanish love their country and not

loving the government by the looks of things at moment what is the feeling i mean you're there in madrid what is the feeling there is the economic crisis and the angry sentiment reflected in daily life just what is it like to be in madrid a moment. right now what you see is people working very very hard you try to keep their distance is a. much credit and there isn't much demand very hard to find jobs like i said going abroad i don't see there's beginning to be some anger toward it may be true of the rest of europe some frustration with the government but i don't think any here yet but i think towards rest of europe feeling they're being demanded two. measures which are really difficult for a country. in recession how do you send that teams of troops not the last ten days or so in europe so i really think the worst of this is a reverse thing but though but is there a lot of anger toward central government in madrid at the moment we've seen what's going on cuts alone at the moment those big protests in barcelona perhaps could we

see maybe the calls for independence from central government being motivated now by the financial crisis is in spain in jeopardy in that respect and there's always been these independents can and you're absolutely right now the crisis. in the catalan region there is a tendency to blame madrid very thing that's going on which obviously doesn't arrive since this is a global financial crisis and spain is sucked into it where you know this is where . they are but they catalans are taking that approach. and we need to. consider of course it can't use the largest deficit recent g.d.p. of any of the regions of spain. but you know it's very easy to blame somebody else and difficult to go you're an economics professor the latest round of austerity hopes to boost spain's economy avoid a bailout even the prime minister said willy laying a foundation for

a recovery is that really true is not a bailout inevitable. i think we need to avoid it there i believe with interest rates have been coming down in the last few weeks especially after all these changes in europe you can drive these new. plan and generally prove the financial stability mechanism victory out of the european market in other words things are looking up for our european friends and my hope is now that europeans understand the different ones that have to do something to save a country like spend it doesn't look so bad if it's good it's just seen me be able to make it without. crisis because this are serious just pushing through here and i don't extent they really see the light until. two thousand and fourteen interested to hear thoughts thanks very much indeed for joining us economics professor and labor market specialist at the business school in madrid thank you.

there's. more world news in brief for you the new u.n. envoy to syria says the crisis in the country is escalating and poses a danger to the entire world looked up to him is now in damascus and has already met president assad as well as several diplomats and opposition leaders both the rebels and government forces still ignore calls to. and the fighting with battles continuing in syria's main cities including aleppo and homes british activists say one hundred sixty people were killed across the nation on friday. police in south africa have rubber bullets striking mine workers in the area this after a raid on hospitals used by workers resulted in the rest of at least twelve people on friday the government enough to crack down on the strike which is already halted production at several platinum and gold mines restaurant to last month after police shot dead thirty four striking workers. the 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 the social network was

threatened with fines if it didn't give in to the prosecutor's request the tweets allegedly undermine the protest the police intention pushed the crowd onto the bridge only to arrest them for obstructing traffic. while the battle for access to the activists tweets attracted mass attention with many saying prosecutors are violating privacy laws our resident hit the streets of new york to find out how people really feel about their virtual freedoms. a manhattan judge has ordered twitter to release the tweet of an occupy wall street protester and those tweets are expected to be used against them in a criminal trial is bad and invasion of his private b. and right beat this week let's talk about that so let's say it was a terrorist saying ok let's go attack somebody 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 threatened that you might think is a terrorist might feel like they're just expressing their need them what they're prostrated. always seem to be. you know. giving you information that you haven't been revealed yet or are broadcast yet so i appreciate that about when i hope it never stops as he's put out there for that general public so to still feel ok that'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 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 felts 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 that it probably needs to be treated similar sue newspaper up beds 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 that 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 it's in the public you don't put it out on the public to you you want people to use oh yeah it's kind of a canvas screaming out a window if you're posting it on the internet that draws 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. well very shortly we'll bring you an unconventional take on the international
