back to basics and the. protests across the globe rage on for a sixth day engulfing even more countries as muslims vent anger over a movie made in the u.s. that. washington is condemning the film in an effort to contain the scandal but opinion polls show that anti-u.s. sentiment has been simmering for years. russian opposition groups march through moscow after a summer low numbers fell short of previous turnouts despite public sector workers joining in for the first time.

in moscow it's good to have you with us here on r t our top story anti-u.s. demonstrations continue sweeping the globe for a sixth day protests have now been spreading to other countries and continents with clashes taking place even in sydney australia earlier this week mobs attacked u.s. embassies in more than a dozen muslim countries with violence leaving at least seven people dead muslims across the world are angry over a film made in the states that mocks the prophet mohammed ortiz paullus leader has the latest. the situation remains extremely volatile with western leaders and middle eastern leaders urging for calm the united states has beefed up its security in overseas missions that hide things reinforcements to the capital yemenite city of samarra at the same time quest to send its marines to be capital city of cops in the sudan was rejected by authorities there they say that they can deal with the security situation by themselves from libya we are hearing and of course this is

where the american ambassador and three other high ranking you are stopping this big killed from day one clearing the decks for a grace have been made we have no information at this stage as to the identities of those are great but we are hearing that an announcement regarding these of race will be made soon both the united states and the libyan authorities of pointing at al qaida they say that the attack has the fingerprints of al qaida and al qaeda has released a statement and although it doesn't take responsibility directly for this attack in benghazi it has said that the attack was in response to the killing of all kind is the number to buy you a stroke is at the same time we're also hearing that the f.b.i. has to respond a visit to libya to deal with the investigation because of security concerns in that country now also on saturday there were demonstrations in the capital from city of paris where the demonstrations were taking place near the american consumers there have also been demonstrations in belgian and american protesters

there clashed with police and as i mentioned earlier demonstrations also taking place in yemen where the local client that has scored for growth protests and also more killings of american stuff men those on saturday didn't want the shots fired in yemen during clashes to prevent the crowds of protesters from reaching the american embassy there were also being demonstrations in sydney australia where the police used tear the tear gas to fire at crowds we know. that the muslim population in australia is next increase the same but anger there is bubbling of i mean there were demonstrations in eleven on somalia iraq. and turkey so as you see this and a high school it across the whole region in the united states who believed create this film is not cool at best and he has been taken in by american authorities for questioning now he has said that he does not look great making this film although

he does with great the loss of life but we are hearing that he is considering releasing the full version of the film and certainly the demonstrations here in cairo have lost momentum right now it is essentially a mop up operation but as i'm speaking to you the street team is are still cleaning up the debris the goss the rocks and the stones that are left over from the last few days of my saying the united states and egypt are traditionally close talking as it does seem as if this relationship is very rocky at the moment the last word we heard from president barack obama is that he does not consider egypt and i while at the same time he does not consider them an enemy. dr serum charlie dean of the general school of international affairs think people should search deeper for the root cause of the protests. the producer don't know where in australia or in foreign countries which are the from the epicenter of the arab spring region i think those are more spontaneous but libya egypt yemen these are like ghost

evolution of societies and this is where you have seen the brunt of the winds and the skill of the seven drop the height 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 the edge of bullets what i saw in studio so i see this as a you know want you to be as an extension of the proxy war that's going on cd and we're so efficient extreme fundamentalists and we don't need in the name of toppling the assad regime this seems some of these are no money just in terms of violent and reactionary manner to old crank you feel that you have been ignored is a connection to all these you cannot be separated we need to look at it in all of you to get the right because we're also closely monitoring violence continuing to continuing to unfold throughout the arab world on our website our t. dot com they're all find a timeline of the events plus the full profile of the band thought to be behind this scandalous anti muslim film that sparked the protests for the.

u.s. is trying to diffuse the wave of discontent with washington coming out to strongly condemn the film and calling for an end to the protests there he's got a chicky on reports there is more behind the anti-u.s. fieri than muslims are reacting to a single controversial you tube clip. as angry mobs in muslim countries stormed u.s. embassies in burning 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 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 grab 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 in the in many cases they've had relatives that have been killed in this process and we're building a 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 the administration 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 it's rage against the united states has been brewing for a while and it seems to need it just does spark 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. despite the us speaking of democratic change while promising support for hours in countries washington actively supports autocratic regimes like bahrain and saudi arabia george kenney a former american foreign service officer thinks the anger against the u.s. is fierce because the country too often employs double standards. a large part of

the problem is that the protesters are poor they're on happy they would like to have a better situation for their lives and that puts the u.s. in something of a dilemma because here we are we're supporting saudi arabia we're supporting bahrain where we're giving some rhetorical support to the so-called arab spring but is it the case that we're really supporting economic justice genuine democracy in these countries i don't think that case has been made and so. if the u.s. were to genuinely support the aspirations of the of the poor and the struggling middle class in these countries then there we would have other problems in the in the consistency of our policy with regard to these these regimes that we're supporting for for other reasons for oil and so forth so it would put us in a very difficult situation and to be honest i'm skeptical that that hillary clinton or this administration is up to that challenge. the u.s.

made film is also offended the muslim community in russia which makes up around fifteen percent of the population but no protest rallies are being held in the country some russian muslims have publicly condemned the anti-american riots the head of russia's republic of chechnya says violence will be tolerated. criticize the film though stressing that those behind its production are responsible for the deaths of protesters. russia's opposition gathered for its first major demonstration since june but there was a much smaller turnout than in earlier marches and for the first time the anti-government movement was joined by public sector workers are going up as more. police say this

rally was attended by up to twelve thousands of protestors opposition leaders say it's tens of thousands but i can tell you if it was water rise to be held until ten pm moscow time move the majority of the protesters a left before that despite the calls from one of the more radical leaders of the opposition said again as i saw for them for the people not to leave at least before ten pm we've heard be different demands today i ranging from social related issues like to freeze the tariffs for utility bills and raise the salaries of social sector workers to political demands like early presidential and parliamentary elections there's also been a lot of criticism of several new laws michigan passed a recently like the one on foreign agents which basically obliges n.g.o.s with foreign sponsors to be under a special government control and also the one aimed at protecting children from

potentially harmful content in the media which many here people say that that new form of censorship if we talk about who attended this rally then they do represent completely different movements and ideas from honorary kids to ultra nationalists communists socialists democrats gay rights activists and environmentalists and it's highly unlikely that what they would be able to meet anywhere else so rallies like this are a great platform for all of them to be able to voice their personal views freely political analyst alexander sullivan of says opposition leaders don't provide their supporters 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. and my point again is that all the rules and regulations would have to be very spirits. people and the very motivation that brings people into the

streets and those people who really need to be motivated the mole intends all the agenda. now being national leave. communists and so on to liberals. talking to people asking for different things is only conclusive but in the words of the population because they cannot. solve the opposition movement you see looking at the crowd they are very very mix we see teachers who see students we see nationalists and they need to be given some pull. or then again a collection slogan sometimes contradictory nature. stay with us here on r.t. still to come the right to tweet freely. it worries it was an american expressing his views. you know just trying to get his message out there as twitter is forced to surrender private records to

in the u.s. the occupy wall street movement is writing to markets first anniversary and get back in the spotlight activists rallying support for demonstrations in new york before hoping to descend on wall street once again monday the movement spread across the country last year with mass rallies against economic inequality happening in dozens of cities police cracked down on several demonstrations unleashing tear gas and making thousands of arrests and evicting tent camps from public parks activists kaleb mop and thinks the anti-car corporate movement may take new forms but it is here to stay. i was. a without a doubt one looks at the world right now one looks at what's happening in the middle east in spain and greece everywhere there's a confrontation going on against the one percent so the idea that somehow the us is exceptional and it's just a small passing phase i mean the us is part of the world capitalist economy in the world capitalist economy is in a state of collapse profits rule and we just get more as we just get home

foreclosures we just get mass unemployment get all this wealth exist that is not utilized for even good so absolutely we're going to see more of old it may take on a different character organized labor the chicago this chicago teachers strike that they become more prominent than it was in the early days of occupy wall street that there's going to be more confrontations as the system dies the battle between twitter and authorities for access to the records of an occupy wall street activists attracted wide attention with many saying prosecutors are violating privacy laws our resident laurie harshness to 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 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. i don't want to be always seem to be you know. giving you information that you haven't been revealed yet or broadcast yet so i appreciate that about twitter no hope it never stops because 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 felts i think the most interesting thing about twitter is that if the internet it's 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 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 want keep it is so yeah it's kind of a canvas screaming out a way to get 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.
