from stupid. stunts on t.v. dot com. a six day of fury shakes the muslim world as protesters across the globe riots against america but it's following the release of a controversial film made. by diplomats rush to douse the flames and salvage ties with the muslim world will experts point to america's a mideast policy as ultimately being responsible for the unrest. plus you're opposing the austerity protests once again as people want the belt tightening measures to end over a million and a half people in spanish catalonia calling for independence.

with the top stories of the week and of today this is the weekly on arts he with me rule research shine theory rage and protest old touring across the muslim world this week in a fierce showing against an american film that ridicules islam centered in a region still reeling from over a year of unrest it's become one of the bloodiest episode since the dawn of the arab spring. a dozen u.s. embassies and a western that linked targets were threatened and seized in international protests with nearly four dozen killed an ensuing violence but the anger is quickly crossing borders with europe asia and australia witnessing must demonstrations on melees

over the film it's all been a magnet for the more extremist factions such as al qaida which have called for more violence and more attacks. reports the united states has it would it be needed to speculate stand up for the non essential u.s. diplomatic stock and the families from sudan. in a statement issued by washington it said that all u.s. citizens should need to miss it he immediately now the u.s. has been refused permission to send the means to sudan this is because the government of the team says it can deal with the security situation there now with the u.s. now we have arrived in the yemen i kept up some of this might by no call you not your makers that they should be expelled immediately we are hearing from outside it to swish attacks against u.s. embassies to be going down this line that started on tuesday it's a capital of cairo we know it to me. that they keep these at some of the thousands

each we paid to do so regardless these protests leads me to libya where the u.s. ambassador and the other american citizens were killed no investigation going on there has seeds for people the way said the u.s. as well as to say they believe that this attack has the kind of the kind it has not taken down with the sponsibility that it has issued a statement in which it says that the attack was in response to being of all kinds is number two by the u.s. marines from libya the mind and spirit of the. doesn't go to heaven on somalia iraq pakistan. dawns and even a small demonstration is over the weekend there were demonstrations in the french capital of paris in the demonstrations.

and. the. civil have a continent. sadia with at least five deaths on protests and civil. rights and. it appears on. the innocence of muslims. this is not simply. coming at least. this is a and a. great life so certainly a lot of anger a lot of mind and the situation the screaming that think it's ok to say the city is a region. also leading our coverage of the latest anti american unrest doing so from cairo with protests and violence showing few signs of waning she's tweeting the latest news on pictures on her twitter account as you can see at the bottom of your screen right there you could follow paula i fall asleep underscore i see.

now the film's creator reportedly an egyptian coptic christian is now going into hiding after being questioned by police his former cost though has rebelled the entire crew disavowing their work and declaring they were deceived dr charlie other dean of the john doll school of international affairs believes the protests are about much more than just a film. the producer don't know where in australia or in foreign countries are we genevieve from baby center of the arab spring region i think those are more spontaneous but of libya egypt yemen these are like post evolution of societies and this is where you have seen the brunt of the violence and the skill of the seven brothers height and i do these are politically orchestrated by noble actors who are being backed by some of these rich donors from these don't want to also behind him dollar through assad in syria so i see this as

a you know what you know in many ways an extension of the proxy war that is going on studio with sophie some extreme fundamentalists have been unleashed in the name of toppling the assad regime seem selfies are no money for student loans in a violent and reactionary manner cranky food that you know been ignored is a connection did not of these you cannot be you know. we need to look at it in all of it to get the right guy. and now in the wake of the violence which did begin in cairo barack obama has said that the u.s. does not consider egypt an ally of the afros triggered by a you tube film posted in the states swiftly undid years of efforts by the u.s. government to establish friendly relations with cairo and other muslim communities have a story now to r.t. as marina portnoy. 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 for the muslim world is to communicate with americans are now you out of washington invested huge resources in building a massive. 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 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 that is inadequate and doesn't call for dialogue doesn't call for development doesn't call for progress it calls for the moving of those unions because that 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 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 bush shutdown but tensions in the muslim world seem to be only increasing there has been a lot of simmering nancy american feeling right across the entire world it's their worst. we're all show that we're ninety percent of pakistanis americans the primary enemy america's middle of blunders and it's. then abuse 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 for the friendly part of the policy the world wide web also serves as the platform that enabled one american extremists to infuriate millions overseas and the real heroes of progress marina poured ny artsy me on and the u.s. secretary of defense leon panetta admitted that washington expects the protests to

continue less violently journalist and broadcaster neil clark says america should have seen this coming. remember the old saying you reap what you sow and the us are reaping what it's so that sit 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 christine romans and of course the people responsible are those who carried out the killings we've got to put this in its wider context and this would have happened had nato not intervened last year the government is losing its grip in libya in egypt that going 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 the region change again i mean we had this last year i mean exactly what was it take it was a stable country the u.s.

and they decided to of didn't mean anything if we look across the globe everywhere where nato has to be has been a disaster looking around one million people killed there you go slower because of it 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 when we learn because least more death and destruction and while first condemning the violence the u.s. has also come out against the film in question in an effort to calm the fury of joining them with the un secretary-general ban ki moon he slammed the production as to the privilege designed to sow bigotry and bloodshed and there was also reaction from russia with president putin saying that all governments should work to prevent religious provocation. if misty 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 people 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 should be should not forget their personal responsibility for what's going on in their territories which are the pictures and i with the protests continuing across the muslim world on violence still very likely we've got the full coverage on our website on. the full timeline from the moment the first protests began as well as the profile of a form of pornography and convicted fraudster that produced a scandalous film that has so much more at r.t. dot com.

this is r t with me rory soon shea the financial crisis has spurred separatism in spain's catalonia over a million and a half people packed the streets saying the region needs financial sovereignty or at least to be fully independent state course a sociologist at pump university things possible. procession protests. the difference between this year and last year particularly is that now the body of a lot is in the government and it's there a lot more aggressively centralist and and it's and there are a lot more aggressive against sort of the autonomous rights that the regions that like that feel themselves as nations like the loony our the basque region they're a lot more aggressive in and posing that sort of identity of this could certainly.

service an impulse to to more sort of secessionist secession is i guess sensibilities. now spain's capital madrid also saw tens of thousands strong protests against planned austerity measures the government is set to announce a new pack of cuts by the end of september imports cause capital lisbon and angry mob pelted the local headquarters of the international monetary fund with tomatoes and fireworks john laughlin the director of studies at the institute of democracy and corporations says the government's over of p.t. in 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 he's going to make that problem go away even budget cuts are not going to make the essential problem go away which is that the states are too heavily

indebted and even meet 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 the european union for many decades now 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 furniture now germany's highest court has cleared the way for a fresh five hundred billion euro bailout fund for euro zone countries written with debt rejected iraq have legal challenges aimed at preventing the crisis fighting tools from becoming a law critics said the planning committed into potentially unlimited funding of eurozone stands by the crisis the ruling though kept germany's contribution to the rescue fund leaving it to a one hundred ninety billion euros political risk consultant john holzman believes the motion is only prolonging europe's suffering. the germans are stirring up

hostages to fortune they're going to need more than the five hundred billion euro because italy and spain to some extent certainly spain will need a bailout greece probably will need a third bailout. and then you have to go back to the bundestag because the court capture him in liability one hundred ninety billion euro sounds like a lot of money frankly it's not given the money they're going to need and it's some point somebody in the bush to stop is going to get up and say this is madness we can no longer pay for the rest of europe they're beginning to see these points of friction coming out more and more and more often and as they do eventually you're going to have the problem to deal with totally donor weary supporters in the north and so i think that there's still a long way to go in this crisis because they have installed the ultimate problem these countries in the south remain on life support the countries in the north are going to have to pay for them forever and so you get economic productivity on the table were just thrown plates in the air. people in the netherlands have decided to put their trust in the e.u. voting in favor of to produce or appear in union party

a certain early general election this means the country is likely to stick to a german led way out of the financial crisis because it is test for australia reports a rethink of some austerity measures looks inevitable. it was back in ninety ninety two when a treaty was find in this château in maastricht in the netherlands is that wishing 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 the best this 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 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 well we are protesting against our liberal government you know made to distinction between which. part of the problem is you know do 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 that. are becoming less convinced of the rationality of continued austerity policies. begin to vote for parties who pose the lord you call for austerity 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 it is a pleasure to have you with us here on our just a few minutes away here on the program a protest still kicking one year on anti corporate activists in the united states they have to regain momentum and preparing for a massive new rallies on the first anniversary of the occupy wall street. and iran balances a rise in oil sales as western efforts to cripple the trade make little or no impression. just turning twenty minutes past the hour here in moscow no trace of

julia songes d.n.a. was found on a torn presented as evidence in the sexual assault case brought against him in sweden the forensic findings outlined in a police report did not support the alleged victim's story and imply the proof she submitted is fake astonished denies the charges saying they're just a way of getting back at him for his wiki leaks activities and he's recently hired a distinguished spanish human rights investigator. in order to ahead is legal team their ultimate goal is to keep him away from extradition to america goes on is that renowned for fighting the most controversial cases having previously confronted terror cells dictators and american politicians he says his client did nothing more than only express his freedom of speech. i do not think mr saunders a spy all he did was exercise his right to freedom of information he received and shared it with much. no surprise that there's be no investigation into the glaring crimes documented in those leaked reports featuring us interference with issues

that have absolutely no relation to either national security all the safety of american citizens or defense. now we've also got our plenty of news stories features analysis on our website r t the top called let's have a look now see what else is there a saturday seeing the russian opposition supporters flooding back on to the streets you can head to our to talk calling for a detailed timeline and reporting the rally. and the chameleon women some of the top agents speak about their movie star lives are revealing what lengths ladies spies will and will not go to for the sake of their country. it's good to have you with us on r.t. today shutting down intersections and getting arrested those are the festivities

planned for occupy wall street's first anniversary the anti corporate movement it started a year ago in new york quickly and gulf to many other major american cities and even spread abroad they often faced heavy handed action by police with numerous activists injured and tent cities torn down by the occupiers are determined to show the world they are still alive and kicking to regain momentum a year on the activist caleb maupin believes the anticapitalist movement can be reborn in many more ways than one. 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 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 i mean there. isn't. the last profits rule and we just get more as we just get on foreclosures we just get mass unemployment get all

this wealth exist but it is not utilized for so absolutely we're going to see the word old it may take on a different character you know organized labor chicago the chicago teachers strike that maybe cause more problems than it was in the early days of occupy wall street but there's going to be more confrontations as the system dies and of course here at r.t. we will be following the events planned by the occupy wall street movement in new york and other cities if you can do stay with us for more on. what's being. spread worldwide. i. 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. be occupied. on our team.

just a few moments on the on c world update for now iran's oil exports are now exceeding a million barrels a day it's mostly making a mockery of the western sanctions that are designed to curb the oil trade washington has had way for structures for japan and several e.u. nations as they rely heavily on iranian oil the sanctions are aimed at forcing terror on to stop its atomic program which it insists is for peaceful purposes but jamal abdi the policy director of the national iranian american council believes the sanctions only force iran to spend even more on nuclear research. 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 has already already has been on which. 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 and 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 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 oil for food but 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. by the from iranian oil now to the russian gas giant gas problem which is fighting against e.u. pressure over the company's pricing policy that the european commission launched a case accusing the supplier of violating anti monopoly nor what you said the government officially for a big gas problem to do to disclose any information to foreign parties without the kremlin's permission rusher insists it's protecting gas problem from aggressive attempts by the e.u. to get a gas discount the company's spokesman pretty young off says that europe didn't

even try to resort to dialogue. during this past year the european commission didn't take a single step to resolve any of the present disputes through dialogue while we have always insisted on the open discussion and many undecided matters time and again gazprom and the russian government invited the start dialogue but were ignored. for its northwestern pakistan opens up the world update it's where at least fifteen people have died in a blast right near the border bus carrying locals to a marketplace was hit by a roadside bomb explosion all the victims were civilians the pakistani taliban who set up bases in neighboring afghanistan after the government pushed them out of the area have claimed responsibility for the it. peaceful march of. several hundred striking miners has been blocked by south african police the workers were demanding an end to police violence
