film fury of muslims across the globe and their anger with protests and violence for a six day following the release of a movie made in the u.s. that mocks. washington slams a film of the damage control mission while condemnation is also voiced worldwide with russia calling on governments to regard people's religious feelings. tens of thousands protest against austerity measures in spain and portugal as the debt crisis prompts renewed calls for separatism in catalonia.

from moscow i'm reading today we take a look at the top stories of the week and it's been a week of anti-american fewer across the muslim world with protesters rising up against a film mocking as law countries which less than two years ago witnessed the dawn of the arab spring are once again and gulf violence. u.s. embassies in more than a dozen islamic countries have been attacked at least seven people have died during the violence including the american ambassador to libya the violence has also spread to your asia and even australia with clashes taking place in sydney falsely are reports. the united states has it would it be immediately back to a send up or a non essential u.s. diplomatic stop and the families from sudan and there's yet in

a statement issued by washington that said that all u.s. citizens should leave tunis yankee media fleet now the u.s. has been refused the mission to st louise to sit down this is because the government in khartoum says it can deal with the security situation there however u.s. marines have arrived in the human eye capital of some of this despite was by local human i can all make this that they should be expelled immediately we are hearing from our clyde a fresh attacks against the u.s. embassies to be carried out this is why the sawtooth on to stage the egyptian capital of cairo we're not hearing any gypsy prime minister that these that some of the thousands of people. were in fact paid to do so regardless the protests immediately spring to libya where the u.s. ambassador and three other american citizens were killed knowledge of the investigation to go in with their tests even for people the race to the u.s. as well as to say they believe that this attack has the most of all high back al

qaeda has not taken directly sponsibility but it has issued a statement in which it says that the attack was in response to me of all kinds is the number to fight us the means from libya the violence across the whole region it doesn't go countries such as we have been on somalia iraq pakistan to keep gone even a small demonstration intel up is over the weekend there were demonstrations in the french capital of paris to the demonstrations took place here that you. can see you. at least off the shelves all these things with the tape over the weekend because this it will spread to several other continents in sydney australia where the police five hit the gas on protesters and civil unrest they were made. i think that that has erupted. over the place that it appeared on in tights in the sense of who was then the person wasted in the united

states the creator of this film has say he does not like the stand. and he is considering actually that he says the whole film and this is in the mind of feeding the state of the state that he would great loss of life so certainly a lot of anger a lot of violence the situation extremely funny child i think it's safe to say that the city is a region. artist falsely or is closely watching the anti-american unrest from cairo as the violence shows no signs of letting off in check her twitter feed for the latest updates and photos from the dixon capital work and started to unfold earlier this week. american journalist anti-war activist don de bar says the core of the issue lies deeper than just the film. the movie or actually just the trailer really which is what's been available on you tube may be serving as a catalyst but certainly the animosity goes much deeper and the issues run much

deeper people do not go into the streets over a movie and bring r.p.g. s. with them first of all they generally don't carry them around either this is a case of blowback as many people are saying without or someone else being responsible for this and the issue being this movie and then if you look at egypt the situation there is one where the government the president morsi has made a break with the people over two major issues in the last week or two of his coming down on the side of the united states over the over the situation in syria and iraq with israel neither of which are with the center of gravity exists among the egyptian people and they've had an almost continuing revolution since january or february of last year where each time when they felt the revolution was betrayed they went into the streets so the dynamics underneath this i think are much more complex than this movie first of all in libya al qaida and the united states were allies to where the ground troops in the u.s.

the air support in the early stage with united states u.k. and french troops arming and guiding them from february twenty third on as reported in the pakistani observer back then. is in many people's minds a creature of the united states intelligence operation. in the wake of the violence which started in cairo groc obama said the u.s. doesn't consider it to an ally triggered by you tube film posted in the states swiftly and did years of efforts by the u.s. government to establish friendly relations with cairo and other muslim communities has the story. anger is rising rage is spreading and american flags are burning throughout the arab world this isn't exactly the type of relationship washington envisioned after barack obama became president i've come here to cairo to seek a new beginning between the united states and muslims around the world the new u.s.

leader promised to turn the page and mend relations tarnished by george w. bush's war on terror he even granted his first foreign television interview to al arabiya an arabic language channel my job to the muslim world is to communicate with americans are not readily washington invested huge resources in building a massive social media presence comprised of nearly two hundred different accounts to spread its message of friendship by the end of last year the u.s. had spent seventy million dollars assisting foreign citizens with the resources to bypass online firewalls and censorship. the bitter irony is that a youtube clip posted by one american instantly buried massive efforts made by the u.s. government as americans were being held hostage by a small group of extremists people here in america think when they put their views on you tube and now the technology is such that it can be seen all over the world i

think people in. some of these places don't understand this is not the view of most americans this is not the view of the u.s. government according to many experts a large majority of the arab world has grown too familiar with the anti muslim sentiment america is accused of cementing the policy of the americans towards this part of the world is inadequate and doesn't call for dialogue doesn't call for development it doesn't call for progress and calls for the moving of those units because that food american interests and some western interests a cause for war and invasion of iraq as we have. no progress on the peace love and i think the spark for it to you know all come out in violent forms as we can see now on the screen and this is what's happening within forty eight hours the fury that began in egypt spread to libya yemen lebanon and iraq and afghanistan you toothless shut down but tensions in the muslim world seem to be only increasing

there has been a lot of simmering nancy american feeling a right across the entire arab world it's their worst in pakistan where polls show they were ninety percent of pakistanis feeling marriage as their primary an enemy america's middle of blunders in the area and it's made enemies in the arab spring countries america helped revolutionize the line between friend and foe it was blurry despite all the time and money washington has spent using the internet to promote its there's a lot of friendly foreign policy the world wide web also served as the platform that enabled one american extremist to infuriate millions overseas and the rail of progress. we are now the u.s. has strongly condemned the film in an effort to calm the anti-american fury u.n. secretary general ban ki-moon also slammed the production saying it was deliberately designed to sow bigotry and bloodshed there was also

a reaction from russia with president putin saying all governments should work to prevent religious provocation. if steve doesn't react in a timely and tough manner to provocations that are directed against the religious feelings of people then what happens is that the humiliated and the sultan once you start to defend their own interests and sometimes this can lead to wide bloodshed to the region it could fall into chaos for you which is exactly what's happening now in this respect i'd like to remind the rulers of these new governments and states are in there under one serious changes year to shoot that they should not forget their personal responsibility for what's going on in their territories which was the picture. keeping was escalating tension in the region charlie had grass and the panties had a tear in the u.s. as it was only a matter of time for the rest of the region boiled over. we have this convoluted destabilization throughout the middle east and north africa and you know

this is the end result i know this. innocence of muslims video is being blamed for all this but i mean really this is a powderkeg looking for a spark i believe that if most if most americans understood what was being done in our name in the stabilizing the middle east and north africa they would be absolutely horrified and what other result can we expect these people you know a lot of cases you know they have no hope their economies are destroyed they see their calling for poor and invaders in their land flying drones over their country their leaderships being assassinated and these forms of government to be an insult of course this kind of thing is going to happen i'm surprised it's taken this long and i also wouldn't be surprised if we see it escalate from here if we were going outside in having predator drones blowing up buildings in our neighborhood if we were constantly under for an assault we'd too would take the same position i think that a lot of these people are. we're also closely following the violence that's continuing

to unfold throughout the arab world on our website r.t. dot com we've got a timeline of events as well as the full profile of a man who is thought to be behind the scandalous and a muslim film that sparked the protest to log on to find out more. the e.u. data crisis has sparked renewed separatism calls in spain's catalonia this week over a million people took to the streets of barcelona to call for an a pansy blaming central government over economic woes this was followed by fresh air and protests in the capital madrid with tens of thousands of spaniards voicing

outrage over a new wave of belt tightening the government is due to announce a fresh set of spending cuts by the end of the month and their message was later and code in portugal's capital lisbon were protests are through fireworks and tomatoes at the local headquarters of the international monetary fund john laughland director of studies at the institute of democracy and cooperation says governments are focusing on the wrong issue when it comes to fixing the crisis. the basic problem in europe indeed other countries of the world is of course that there is too much debt both private and above all a blick and nothing today and nothing on any other future occasion he's going to make that go away even budget cuts are not going to make a social problem go away which is that the states are too heavily indebted and even the various so-called good sturdy programs which have been imposed i'm not going to produce a budget such as which is the only way to get unless of course there is economic

growth and there's a final court this is the european union for many decades that is played a game of smoke and mirrors whenever there's a crisis whenever there's a problem to be solved it rearranges the institutional further. germany's federal court has backed a motion considered crucial for containing the continent's debt crisis that approved the nearly five hundred billion euro bailout fund for struggling eurozone countries whatever they're willing comes with several conditions including a restriction on the size of berlin's contribution for gone back a specialist in law at the school of oriental and african studies in london says the motion won't bring any long term solutions the policy is an imperfect guide to the future so far the. german parliament has always approved age i think we are reaching a point where germany has spent so much money that she's knocked in and parliamentarians will continue granting further assistance every time the only way of getting out of

this vicious circle would be the success of the savings program in southern europe i card see that happening the economic situation in southern europe is dire every cation we have is that it's getting worse if you promise you will gobble up his government debt to a limited extent it will take away the incentive for cuts it will not enforce it. voters in the netherlands have elected to continue on a pro european past bradley sticking to german a lot of way out of the financial crisis the conservatives claim victory but may have to form a coalition with labor which holds similar economic views however despite rejecting parties calling for an exit from the euro zone a rethink of some osteria measures looks inevitable as are celia now reports. it was back in ninety ninety two when a treaty was signed it. and another less establishing the economic and monetary

union later paving the way for the creation of the single currency but today mounting a euro skepticism has spread to even countries considered poor eurozone nations including the very one where it all began so i don't know. what the best is for europe i have my jobs because of greece. and the netherlands it's a pro european country of course it shouldn't come to the stream level that we see greece in a repeated fashion this annoyance among the dutch at having to bail out greece again and again has reached a point where some dutch customers refuse to pay the bill of greek restaurants because well they've already paid with bailout money taking on a euro skeptic and brussels stat has become a popular campaign strategy from the far right freedom party which is called for the return of the dutch guilder to the once fringe leftist socialist party openly challenging the german led a steady strategy for europe well we are protesting against our liberal government

you know made to distinction between the rich. part of the problem is you know did europe brussels has a lot of power now and people feel like they have nothing to say about what's going on with their money or we cannot make our own decisions anymore and we can see in europe that. voters. are becoming less convinced of the rationality of continued austerity policies and begin to vote for parties who oppose the logical for stereotype we've seen it in france we've seen it in regional elections in germany which makes america very worried about the elections next year in the end it was the center right liberals who claimed victory followed closely by the center left labor party both viewed as pro europe but the fact remains that discontent has risen to the surface among citizens of

a nation part of the so-called core of the euro zone does or sylvia r.t. the netherlands and coming up in just a few minutes thousands of afghans across the u.s. to root for another round of anti-corporate action as the occupy wall street movement marks its first birthday. an average to cripple iran's economy and the rail its nuclear ambitions seem to be failing us to iran post huge oil sales or face of western sanctions. which they said is they're doing assad continues his illegal tug of war with the u.k. as he holds up inside a car doors london embassy he's been there for several months with a south american country recently granting him political asylum one is still refusing to grant the whistleblower free passage from the embassy threatening to arrest him once he steps foot outside a sound as lawyers also remain wary of his extradition to sweden saying his hearing rides will be put at risk they fear stockholm with past him over to the u.s.

where he could face the death penalty if tried in charges of espionage for his role with wiki leaks the sounders lawyer baltazar garzon says he's kline did nothing more than express his freedom of speech. last night i do not think mr assange is a spy all he did was exercise his right to freedom of information he received and shared it with much more surprise. there's been no investigation into the glaring crimes documented in those we can put out featuring u.s. interference with issues that have absolutely no relation to either national security or the safety of american citizens are different as if you mean for the wealthy we have plenty more news for you on our website or to call head there for the latest. on saturday saw russian opposition supporters flood back on to the street so go to the column for a full report on yesterday's rally and moscow also a student's video project worth an eight plus earns attention ali from his class teacher but also from the federal intelligence agency learn more on that story.

in the u.s. thousands brace for rallies against fat cat corporations had of the occupy wall street movements first anniversary activists are hoping to regain some momentum by rallying support for demonstrations massing on new york's financial district protests snowballed last year with dozens of cities across the u.s. were raiding corporate america for its role in the country's failing economy police were accused of using heavy handed tactics to break up several events and arrested thousands and a victim tanned tam's from public parts however activist col of mopp and believes the anti-capitalist movement can be reborn in more ways than one. 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 greece everywhere there's a confrontation yes 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 characteristic of using the state of the last straw. it's the rule and then we just get more as we just get home foreclosures we just get mass unemployment get all this wealth exists but it is not utilized for him to do it so absolutely we're going to see more it may take on a different character in organized labor the chicago this chicago teachers' strike that maybe cause more problems than it was in the early days of our if i wall street that there's going to be more confrontations as the system dies. and our team will be following the events planned by the occupy wall street movement in new york and other cities across the country so stay with us for more. plus be gentle spread worldwide. the

ninety nine percent versus the one percent with all the money. are they getting equality into the economy. with the recession ahead can we afford not to listen. to the occupy movement more on are today. western sanctions on iran in a while seem to be having little effect as sales increase to more than one million barrels a day the u.s. hoped strict regulations would force iran to hold its atomic ambitions which it maintains are peaceful you know while washing the extent of exams and waivers for japan and several other e.u. nations as they rely heavily on the reigning oil job the policy director at the national running american council at least monster green program hasn't been thrown off course. 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 the path that it's already already has been on with sanctions you know there's no perfect sanctions regime there's always going to be holes there's always going to be loopholes there's always going to be this game of whack a mole where iran responds or than 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 the say she is 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 and then doing well for food 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. the russian gas giant gazprom is fighting against pressure on the company's pricing policy that's after the european commission launched a case accusing the supplier of violating european anti-monopoly law on tuesday the

government introduced a new law which forbids gas from from disclosing information to foreign parties without the kremlin's permission while the e.u. insists gazprom has abused its dominant position russia says brussels is trying to interfere in the energy market to get a gas price discount while analyst alexander it is our says the e.u. is only looking out for itself. these looks like to me as. goods protective measure which may wark may not work but all other countries will know that russian companies will be supported by russian government in case of any. approach. now let's take a look at some other stories from around the world for western troops have been
