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 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 egypt and libya and 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
8:09 am
development doesn't call for progress and calls for the moving of those units because it puts american interests and some western interests a cause for war and the invasion of iraq as we have seen destruction of afghanistan no progress on the peace level in palestine i think the spark for it to you know all come out in vine. 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 and afghanistan due to bush shutdown 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 bucky saddam where polls show there were ninety percent of pakistanis americans their primary an enemy america's middle of blunders 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 me internet to promote its friendly part of policy the world wide web also served as the platform that enabled one american extremist to infuriate millions overseas and the rail years of progress hurry up or deny r.t. we are. and in the meantime the u.s. secretary of defense leon panetta admitted that washington expects the protests to continue less violently journalist and broadcaster neil cloggs says america should have seen this coming. remember the old saying you reap what you sow and the u.s. are reaping what it so that sent back to two thousand and eleven the u.s. took nato in the attack on iraq is libya really debt and destruction and they've created this sort of violent situation so what of course we condemn the terrible attacks on the u.s. consulate the murder of events and of course the people responsible are those who
8:11 am
carried out the killings we've got to put this in its wider context and this would have happened had native not intervened last year the government is losing its grip in libya in egypt in across the region and the u.s. it is the car that's been stoking all this up the u.s. has been aggressively supporting. writings of course across the region for its own interests and now it's a kind of blowback time the u.s. is getting it back and you know i think you know interference is the best way to go really what are they going to do reaching change again i mean we had this last year i mean exactly what was it take it was a stable country us and they decided to of did we think that if we look across the globe everywhere where nato has to be has been a disaster looking around one million people killed there you could slow because of what we have the ethnic cleansing of surgeon roma somalia chaos and they're going to start living is a war and yet we still get the same or people calling for intervention across the globe. because least more death and destruction at a while the first condemning the violence or the u.s. has also come out against the film in question in an effort to calm and tea
8:12 am
american fury joining them was our u.n. secretary general ban ki moon he slammed the production is deliberately designed to sow bigotry and bloodshed there was also reaction from russia with president putin saying all governments should work to prevent religious proper cation because the. it 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 insulted ones start to defend their own interests sometimes this can lead to wide bloodshed with them who feel the region can fall into kiryas which is exactly what's happening now. in this respect i'd like to remind the rulers of these new governments in states that underwent serious changes which the day should not forget their personal responsibility towards going on in their territories which was the peak and with protests continuing across the muslim world and violence still very likely we caught the full coverage on our website on t.v. dot com we got the timeline from the moment the first protests began as well as the

democracy and cooperation says the governments are repeating their mistakes when dealing with the crisis. the basic problem in europe 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 in 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 the various so-called austerity programs which should be imposed i'm 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 and germany's highest court has cleared the way for a fresh five hundred billion euro bailout fund for eurozone countries riddled with

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 said if for cuts it will not enforce it. people in the netherlands have decided to put their trust in the you voting in favor of two pro european parties that early general election this means or the country is likely to stick to a german led way out of the financial crisis but as artie's test for australia reports a rethink of some austerity measures looks inevitable. it was back in ninety ninety two when a treaty was signed it michel to win maastricht in the netherlands establishing the economic and monetary union leader 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
8:18 am
the best is for europe i have my jobs because of greece. and the shelf and another lands it's a pro european country of course it shouldn't come to the extreme level that we see 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 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
8:19 am
with their money or we cannot make our own decisions anymore and we can see in europe. are becoming less convinced of the rationality of continued austerity policies. begin to vote for parties who pose 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 are you watching r t live from moscow still to come in just a few minutes protests still kicking a year on. productive first in the united states hope to regain momentum preparing

war i think iran is probably continuing down that path that has already already has been on with sanctions you know there's no perfect sanctions regime there's always going to be a whole series always going to be loopholes there's always going to be this game of whack a mole where iran respond. that in the u.s. tries to ratchet up and you're never going to get a perfect embargo. so i think that the question is the question is ok now you have these stations 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 at the end of the day that didn't actually yield anything but massive humanitarian suffering suffering and then eventually this movement for disasters invasion. now the russian gas giant gazprom is fighting against e.u. pressure over the company's pricing policy of the european commission launched a case against the supplier of violating anti monopoly rules on tuesday the
