rights. and. it appears on the innocence of muslims. in the united states the c.p.a. said this. he does not simply. use the ring at least. this isn't even the seeds. that he would supply so certainly a lot of anger a lot of mind and the situation it seems funny how that think it's ok to say that the city is a region. is closely watching beyond rest from cairo as the violence shows no sign of letting up you can check a twitter feed for the latest updates and photos from the egyptian capital that's where the events are started to unfold. meantime american journalist and antiwar activist on the boss says the core of the issue lies much deeper than just this film. the movie or actually just the trailer really which is what's been available
7:05 am
on you tube may be serving as a catalyst but certainly the animosity goes much deeper and the issues run much deeper and people do not go into the streets over a movie and bring our 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 kaido 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 is coming down on the side of the united states 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 a almost continuing revolution since january february of last year where he each time when they felt the revolution was betrayed they went into the streets so the
7:06 am
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 who were the ground troops in the u.s. the air support in the early stage with the 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. and in the wake of the violence i watched it starting cairo barack obama said that the u.s. doesn't consider egypt an ally of the outrage triggered by a film posted in the states swiftly on did years of efforts by the u.s. government so you try and stop his friend friendly relations i with cairo and other muslim communities. as the story. anger is rising rage is spreading and american flags are burning throughout the
7:07 am
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 now you're out of 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 you tube clip posted by one american instantly buried massive efforts made by the
7:08 am
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 that is inadequate and doesn't call for dialogue doesn't call for development doesn't call for progress and calls for them moving because you know it's because the american interests and some western interests a cause for war and invasion of iraq as we have seen this trucks. afghanistan no progress on the peace level in palestine i think the spark for it to you know all
7:09 am
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 iran in afghanistan due to push 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 there it's worse in pakistan where polls show that over ninety percent of pakistanis marin's their primary an enemy america's middle of bloggers in the area and it's made a lot of enemies in the arab spring countries america helped revolutionize the line between friend and foe has blurred despite all the time and money washington has spent you see with the internet to promote its friendly party policy the world wide web also serves as the platform that enabled one american extremist to infuriate millions overseas in the real years of progress. we are.
7:10 am
at for the meantime the u.s. has strongly condemned the film in an effort to calm the american fury u.n. secretary general ban ki moon also slammed the production by saying it was deliberately designed to sow bigotry and bloodshed and it was also reaction from russia with president putin saying that all governments should work to prevent religious provocation. because. if history 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 salted ones start to defend their own interests sometimes this can lead to wide bloodshed you could feel the region could fall into chaos which is exactly what's happening now in this respect i'd like to remind the rulers of these new governments and states. that underwent serious changes that they should not forget their personal responsibility for what's going on in their territories which are typical and
7:11 am
keeping up with the escalating tension in the region charlie mcgrath an independent news editor in the united states says it was only a matter of time before the unrest in 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 this video 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 in 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 foreign invaders in their land flying drones over their country their leaderships being you know assassinated and these forms of government are being installed of course this kind of thing is going to happen i'm surprised it's
7:12 am
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 too would take the same position i think that a lot of these people are. well head r.t.o. we're also closely following the violence that's continued to unfold throughout the arab world we're doing it or not just on air but online at odds he dot com is that we've got a timeline of events as well as the full profile of the man who is thought people high in the scandalous and muslim film that sparked the protest just on to the website find out much more.
7:13 am
live from moscow this is r.t. thanks for joining us today the e.u. debt crisis has sparked renewed to step. some coals in spain's catalonia this week over a million people took to the streets of bosler not to call for independence blaming the central government over economic woes and this was followed by fresh and your stereotype protests in the capital madrid tens of thousands of spaniards voicing outrage over a new wave of belt tightening and the government is due to announce a fresh set of spending cuts by the end of the month the message was later echoed in portugal's capital lisbon where protesters threw fireworks and tomatoes at the local headquarters of the international monetary fund john austin the 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
7:14 am
and indeed in other countries of the world is of course that there is too much debt both private and above all public and nothing today and nothing on any other future occasion is going to make that problem go away even budget cuts are not going to make the central problem go away which is that the states are too heavily indebted and even need various so-called austerity programs which are being imposed are not going to produce a budget surplus which is the only way of repaying debt unless of course there is economic growth and there's a final point this is the european union for many decades now it's played a game of smoke and mirrors whenever there's a crisis whenever there's a problem to be solved it rearranges the institutional furniture. germany's federal court has backed a motion considered a crucial for containing the continent's debt crisis it approved the new five hundred billion euro bailout fund for struggling the eurozone countries however the ruling comes with several conditions including a restriction on the size of berlin's contribution dr gunn are back
7:15 am
a specialist in e.u. law at the school of oriental and african studies in london says the motion won't bring any long term solution so. the past is an imperfect guide to the future so far the german parliament has always approved aid i think we are reaching a point where germany has spent so much money that she's knocked in in parliamentarians will continue granting further assistance every time the only way of getting out of this vicious circle would be the success of the save big spro grab in southern europe i can see that happen the economic situation in southern europe this dire every indication we have is that it's getting worse if you probably. you will gobble up his government debt to about limited extent it will take away the incentive for cuts it will not enforce it. felt voters in the
7:16 am
netherlands have elected to continue on a pro european path broadly sticking to a german led way out of the financial crisis the conservatives claim victory but may have to form a coalition with labor which does hold similar economic views however despite rejecting parties calling for an exit from the euro zone a rethink of some austerity measures does seem to be inevitable as artist has now investigates. it was back in ninety ninety two when a treaty was signed of michelle to win maastricht in the netherlands 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 at this moment what is the best is for europe i have my jobs because of greece. and the shelf and the netherlands it's a pro european country of course it shouldn't come to the stream level that we see
7:17 am
greece now 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 anti 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're protesting against our liberal government you know made a distinction between which. part of the problem is you know did you run brussels has a lot of power 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. are becoming less convinced.
7:18 am
of the rationality of continued austerity policies begin to vote for parties who oppose the logical force territory 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 claim 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 are still the coming out just a few minutes here on r.t. thousands of activists across the u.s. regrouping for another round of anti call for action is the occupy wall street movement marks its first day. and efforts to cripple iran's economy and do well its nuclear ambitions are seen to be failing restaurant potions shoots all

7:20 am
shared it but much more surprised that there's been no. investigation into the glaring crimes documented in those leaked reports featuring u.s. interference with issues that have absolutely no relation to either national security all the safety of american citizens or defense. but live from moscow this is our t. plenty more news for you on our website odds he got dot com you can head there for the latest for example saturday so all russian opposition supporters are flooding back on to the streets on our web site you can get a full report on yesterday's rally right here in central moscow. plus a student's video project are worth a estimated one a plus attention not only from this class teacher but also from the federal intelligence agency learn more about that at r.t. dot com.

it's a three twenty pm on sunday here in moscow this is our t. in the united states thousands brace for rallies against fat cat corporations ahead of the occupy wall street movements a first anniversary activists are hoping to regain some momentum by rallying support for demonstrations are massing on new york's financial district and the protests snowballed last year with dozens of cities across the u.s. but rating corporate america for its role in the country's failing economy police were accused of using heavy handed tactics to break up several events arresting thousands and evicting tend comes from public parks however activist caleb maupin believes the anticapitalist movement can be reborn in any number of ways. i would say without a doubt one looks at the world right now one looks at what's happening in the middle east in spain the grease everywhere there's a confrontation going on against the one percent so the idea that somehow the u.s.
7:22 am
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 exists but it is not utilized for him to do it so absolutely we're going to see more of old it may take on a different character in organized labor of chicago this chicago teachers strike that maybe cause more problems than it was in the early days of our in my wall street but there's going to be more confrontations as the system dies. and we will be a following the events planned by the occupy wall street movement in new york and other cities across the country if you can stay with us for more on that. spread worldwide. the ninety nine percent versus the one percent with all the money. are they getting equality into the

economy. the recession ahead can we afford not to listen to the occupy movement. on are today. it's good to have you with us here on our western sanctions on iranian oil seem to be having little effect sales increased to more than a million barrels a day the u.s. hope the strict regulations would force to iran to halt its atomic ambitions which it maintains a peaceful and meanwhile washington extended exemption waivers for japan and several other e.u. nations as they rely heavily on iranian oil jamal abdul the policy director of the national iranian american council believes terrans a nuclear program has not 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
7:24 am
frankly with the threat of war i think iran is probably continuing down that path that it's already already has been on you know there's no perfect sanctions regime there's always going to be whole there's always going to be loopholes there's always going to be this game of whack a mole where the wrong response within 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 and then doing well for crude 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. well from oil to gas and now as the russian gas giant gazprom is fighting against you pressure on the companies pricing policy it's off to the european commission launched a case accusing the supplier of violating european anti monopoly little on tuesday
