protests across the globe rage on for a sixth day in golfing even more countries as muslims vent anger over a movie made in the u.s. that mocks islam. washington condemns the film in an effort to contain the scandal but there are some opinion polls showing that anti-u.s. sentiment has been simmering for years. russian opposition groups marched through moscow after a summer low numbers fell short of previous turnout despite public sector workers joining in for the first time.
10:01 pm
six am in moscow i'm 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 been spreading to new countries and continents with clashes even happening in sydney australia earlier this week mobs struck u.s. embassies in more than a dozen islamic states 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. has the latest from cairo. 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 it has threatened reinforcements to the capital yemenite city of samarra at the same time request to send its marines to be capital city of kut soon sudan was rejected by authorities there they say that they can deal with the
10:02 pm
security situation by themselves from libya we're hearing and of course this is where the american ambassador and three other high ranking u.s. stopping the killed someday be fearing that for a grace has been made we have no information at this stage as to the identities of those are wasted 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 america and three now also on saturday there were demonstrations in the capital from city of paris the other demonstrations were taking place near the american
10:03 pm
consulate there were also being demonstrations in belgium 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 more protests and also more killings of american staff members on saturday would be the one of the shots fired in yemen during clashes two programs the crowds of protesters from the to the american embassy there were also being demonstrations in sydney australia where the police used tear gas to fire at crowds we know. that the muslim population in australia is the next increase the same but anger there is bubbling under the i mean there were demonstrations in eleven on somalia iraq. and turkey so as you see this and high school it across the whole region in the united states who believed create this film nakoula basseley has been taken in by american mccarty's for questioning now he has said that he does not look great making this film although
10:04 pm
he does with great the loss of life but we are hearing that he is considering releasing the full version of the film 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 speak to me is all still cleaning up the degree the gloss 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 is 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 lie while at the same time he does not consider them and then the. doctor serum charlie a dean of the jindal school of international affairs things 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 obvious from the epicenter of the arab spring region i think those are more spontaneous but of libya egypt yemen these are
10:05 pm
not like post evolution of societies and this is weird you have seen the brunt of the islands and the skill of the previous segment 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 be smaller also behind. us of in studio so i see this as a you know what you meant is an extension of the proxy war that's going on c.d.o. with so few cynics who fundamentally said we don't need in the name of calling the assad regime this seems selfies are no money just in terms of violent and reactionary manner to a crank you feel that you have been ignored it is a connection you know these you cannot be separated dream we need to look at it in all of it to get the right people. were also closely following violence continuing to unfold throughout the arab world on our website our team that they will find a timeline of events plus the full profile of the man thought to be behind this scandalous and he muslim film that sparked the protests log on to find out what.
10:06 pm
the u.s. has ordered the evacuation of most of the diplomatic personnel from embassies in tunisia and sudan because of the ongoing demonstrations washington's been trying to diffuse the wave of discontent with the u.s. coming out strongly condemning the film and calling for an end to the violent protests start he's got a chicky on reports there's more behind the anti-u.s. fury than muslims are reacting to a single controversial you tube clip. 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 where we 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 theirs that even as voices of suspicion mistrust seek
10:07 pm
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 react 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
10:08 pm
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 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 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 check on. despite the u.s. speaking of democratic change while promising support for the arab spring countries washington is actively supporting autocratic regimes in bahrain and saudi arabia
10:09 pm
george kenney a former u.s. foreign service officer thinks the anger against the u.s. is fierce because the country 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 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 poor and the struggling middle class in these countries then there would be 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
10:10 pm
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 also offended the muslim community in russia which is about fifteen percent of the country's population but no protests rallies were being held here in the country some russian muslims though publicly condemned the anti-american riots that of russia's republic of chechnya says violence won't be tolerated ramzan kadyrov though did criticize the film stressing the stressing that those behind its production are responsible for the deaths of protesters. but.
10:11 pm
russia's opposition gathered for its first 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 off as. 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 the for the people not to leave at least before ten pm we've heard be different demands today ranging from social related issues like to freeze the tariffs for utility bills and to raise the salaries of social sector workers to political demands like early presidential and parliamentary
10:12 pm
elections there's also been a lot of criticism of several new laws we should been 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 they want to aimed at protecting children from potentially harmful content in the media which many here people say that that's a new form of censorship if we talk about who attended this rally then they do represent completely different movements and ideas from 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 sell about says opposition leaders don't provide their supporters with the clarity and motivation necessary to unite them all. speaking about the number of the demonstrators we have already seen that they were waiting
10:13 pm
in the big keep waiting. and why it's again is that despite all the rules and regulations we have the very spirit it's great it's people on the very motivation that brings people into the streets and those people who really need to be motivated to bowl all the agenda. happening nationally. and so on a liberal's. talking to people asking for different things is only confusing for the growth of the population because they counted. on the opposition movement you see. they are very very mix we see teachers who sing students we see nationalists and they need to be given some pull. rather than again a collection slogan sometimes victorian age. and still to come this hour the right
10:14 pm

measures to be enacted by the portuguese government protesters threw fireworks and tomatoes at the local headquarters of the international monetary fund chanting out of here and the i.m.f. is hunger and misery they blame last year's tax hikes and budget cuts for pushing the unemployment above fifteen percent and driving the country into the deepest recession since the one nine hundred seventy s. the demonstration follows massive and are staring the protests in neighboring spain or madrid is due to an hour announce a fresh set of spending cuts by the end of the month alessandro polony a political and strategic analyst thanks governments need to take a different approach to end the debt crisis. i think that spain is deep in watch. financially globally is really would like to do and what we are doing is extract you know all the number of us which they're really. which have a very low guarantee to be repaid this is the name of the game now what the
10:16 pm
spaniards that doing is trying to resist the salt or falls fix pro-creation we thought doing a series to do it all gets everybody talks about spending reviews or cuts but no one really nukes into the debt and how we've just been formed by whom and here you think that must be you know much more serious european political action instead of just saying yes all paying blindly that sort of debts the risk to live an arab situation you know what has happened the other side of the mediterranean is not sleuth far from what we are living here so i think that this is the risk that these governments are running against in a rather well short time because when people are caught. they exhaust. patience and they will result will switch more violent protests ukase launched an

10:19 pm
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 u.s. last year with massive rallies against economic inequality happening in dozens of cities police cracked down on several demonstrations unleashing tear gas and making thousands of arrests of victim tent camps for public parks activists kaleb map and things the anti-corporate movement may take new forms but is something in some way here to stay. i would say without a doubt if 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 u.s. is exceptional and it's just a small passing phase i mean the u.s. is part of the world capitalist economy in the world can't use the kind of using the state of the last profits rule and we just get more as we just get home
10:20 pm
foreclosures we just get mass unemployment get all this well the exist loose not utilized for you to do it so absolutely we're going to see more of it may take on a different character you know organized labor or the chicago industry kind of teacher strike that they become more prominent than it was in the early days of the you by wall street 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 activist attracted wide attention with many saying prosecutors violated privacy laws our resident laurie harshness took to the streets of new york to find out how people there really feel about their virtual writes. a manhattan judge has ordered twitter to release the tweet that an occupy wall street protests and those tweets are expected to be used against them in a criminal trial if that and invasion of his private the and right to free speech this week let's talk about that so let's say it was
10:21 pm
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 terrorists and it christian that you might think is a terrorist might feel like they're just expressing them their need them what they're frustrated that. i don't know it's that we always seem to be you know. giving you information that you haven't been revealed yet or are broadcast yet so i appreciate that we're going to hope that never stops as you put it out there. for the general public so if you look of it's going to be used against him in court you know he shouldn't said it you know he's going to incriminate himself that's his own fault that what you say under free speech has to 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 it's my own fault i think the most interesting thing about twitter is that if the internet is not
10:22 pm
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 it in the public you don't put it out on the public to you you would keep it to you so yeah it's kind of a canvas screaming out a window if you're posting it on the internet. so i think 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.
