protesters across the globe. following the release of. the. foreign policy being responsible for the. protests once again people. people.

with me will receive highlight the week's top stories here. protests are tearing across the muslim world this week showing against an american film that ridicules islam centered in the region still reeling from over a year of unrest it's become one of the bloodiest episodes since the dawn of the arab spring. a dozen u.s. embassies and western linked targets so were threatened and seized in international protests with nearly four dozen killed in suing violence the anger quickly crossing

borders with europe asia and even australia witnessing mass demonstrations and melees over the film it's only a magnet for the more extremist factions such as al qaeda which have called for more violence and more attacks artie's paul asli of reports. the united states has it would it be needed next to a sign up or a non essential u.s. diplomatic stop and the families from sudan and in a statement issued by washington that say that all u.s. citizens should need to visit he immediately now the u.s. has been refused permission to send in the weans to sit down this is because the government in khartoum says it can deal with the security situation there where the u.s. marines have a riot in the yemenite capital of some of this despite by the local human akio make as if they should be expelled immediately we are hearing from our clyde at question attacks against the u.s. embassies to be carried out this line of thought is on tuesday's gypsy capital of

cairo we're not hearing any egypt's prime minister they keep these at some of the thousands of people who. were in fact paid to do so the goddess these protests immediately went to libya where the u.s. ambassador and three other american citizens were killed knowledge of the investigation to go in with their test see for people the race to the u.s. as well as to say they believe that this attack has its own hider a kind it has not taken directly sponsibility but it has issued a statement which says that the attack was in response to me of all kinds is the number to fight us the means from libya by them spread across the region it doesn't go on t.v. such as given 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 congress there the demonstrations to make you. sick. and

you. at least this is the eldest son of the sixty's with the take over the weekend it was just a little strange just several other continents in sydney australia where the police five deaths on protesters and civil unrest that made the. that doesn't rock. that appeared on. this and create this he does not like the sting of. living up to. this is a. great life so certainly a lot of a lot of fine in a situation that screams out of think it's safe to say the city is a region. leading our coverage of this latest anti american un restos he's doing so from cairo with protests and violence showing a few signs of waning she's tweeting the latest news on pictures on her twitter

account as you can see at the bottom review of your screen right there it's on fall asleep underscore. the film's creator reportedly an egyptian coptic christian has now gone into hiding after being questioned by police his former cast there has rebelled with the entire crew disavowing their work and declaring they were deceived the author and journalist afshin rattansi believes this on rest was a long time coming and it's not going to fade away any time soon. it it's difficult to see how it could have been averted the people who made the film as it is this to happen terrible to hear about the deaths of people or the sensibly over this is a ridiculous film that has to we have diplomatic relations like any of those governments twenty countries is it the now who are reporting violence on the streets the leaders of those countries will be telling washington if they indeed have relations at washington. it seems like the chicken is coming home to roost it

just goes to show that there is no easy way out now for the united states i suppose the easiest way would be if china and russia called for an emergency u.n. security council resolution if the fighting doesn't cease in these twenty countries thirty countries it is the entire global south. and in the wake of the violence which didn't begin in cairo barack obama said the u.s. does not consider egypt to be an ally of the outrage 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 artie's marina portnoy 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 envision 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 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 doesn't call for progress and calls for the moving of those units because that puts american interests and some western interests a cause for war and invasion of iraq as we have seen destruct. no progress on the peace lebanon 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 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 their worst. poll showed they were ninety percent of pakistanis americans their primary an enemy america's middle of bloggers and it's made 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 it'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 in the real eras of progress. r.t. we are. the u.s. secretary of defense leon panetta has admitted that washington expects the protests

to continue i'll be at 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 so that sent back to february two thousand and eleven the u.s. to nato in the attack on iraq is libya really debt getting destruction 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 will not happen had mated not intervened last year the government is losing its grip in libya in egypt it 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 not 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 the u.s.

and nato decided to didn't mean anything if we look across the globe everywhere where nato has to be has been a disaster look at iraq one million people killed there you could start because of that we have the ethnic cleansing of surgeon roma somalia chaos and there afghanistan eleven years 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 a while first condemning the violence the u.s. has also come out against the film in question in a effort to calm the fury joining them with our u.n. secretary general ban ki moon he slammed the production as deliberately designed to sow bigotry and a blood shed there was also reaction from russia with president putin saying all governments should work to prevent religious proper cation. it's because of that's 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

can feel the region can fall into chaos 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 your issue that they should not forget their personal responsibility for what's going on in their territories which is the picture. although with the protests continuing across the muslim world and violence still very likely a full coverage on our website i thought that we've got the timeline from the moment the first protest began as well as the profile of the form of pornography and convicted fraudster that produced the scandalous fields that have much much more to come.

and so i could have you with us here on r.t. today thanks for joining on the program but the financial crisis has spurred a separatism in spain's catalonia over a million and a half people packed the streets saying the region needs financial suffering at least or to be a full independent state law say socialist university things that are barcelona could see even bigger process session protests. the difference between this year and last year particularly is that now the party a whole 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 a loony our the basque region they're

a lot more aggressive in and posing that sort of identity upon that this could certainly. service an impulse to more sort of recession ist secessionist i guess sensibilities. and spain's capital madrid also saw tens of thousands strong protest against planned austerity measures the government is set to announce a new pack of cuts by the end of september and then portugal's 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 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 on any other future occasion is going to make that go away even budget cuts are not going to make the central problem go away

which is the states are too heavily indebted and evenly various the so-called austerity programs which have been imposed 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 and whenever there's a crisis whenever there's a problem to be solved it rearranges the institutional furniture. and germany's highest the court has now cleared the way for the country's president to ratify a fresh belle out fund for the five hundred billion plan it's intended to help eurozone countries riddled with debt let's learn german sphere the project could commit burley into paying unlimited amounts for states hit by crisis but the judge restricted germany's contribution to the rescue fund to one hundred ninety billion euros dr beck a specialist in e.u. law at the school of oriental and african studies in london says the motion is dealing with the symptoms but is not curing the disease itself. the past is an

imperfect guide to the future so far the german parliament has always approved aids i think we are reaching a. point where germany has spent so much money that she's locked 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. in southern europe i can see that happen the economic situation in southern europe this dire everyday cation we have is that it's getting worse if you promise you will gobble up his government debt to a not limited extent it will take away the said four cuts it will not enforce it. and now people in the netherlands have decided to put their trust in the e.u.

voting in favor of two pro european parties at an early general election and this means the country is likely to stick to a german led way out of the financial crisis but as artists or australia reports a rethink of some austerity measures looks inevitable. it was back in ninety ninety two when a treaty was signed of michelle toe in 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 the best is for europe i have my jobs because of greece. at the shelf and the netherlands it's a pro european country of course it shouldn't come to the stream level that we see that greece now in a repeated fashion this annoyance among the dutch of 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 which. 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. are becoming less convinced of the rationality of continued austerity policies begin to vote for parties who oppose the lord you call for stereotypes we've seen it in france we've

seen it in regional elections in germany which makes america very worried about to 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 all right are still to come in just a few minutes here on r t of protests there still kicking a year on the anti corporate activists in the u.s. hope to regain momentum preparing for the massive new rallies on the first anniversary of the occupy wall street group. and iran announces a rise in oil sales as western efforts to cripple the trade make little or no impression. almost twenty minutes past the hour moscow time by no trace of julian assange and his 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 i do not support the alleged victim's story and implied the proof she submitted is fake denies the charges saying they are just a way of getting back at him for his wiki leaks activities he has recently hired distinguished spanish human rights investigator both as articles on what's ahead his legal team their ultimate goal is to keep him away from extradition to the u.s. like a song is renowned for fighting the most controversial cases having previously confronted terror cells dictators and american politicians he says it's high and did nothing more than express his own freedom of speech. i do not think mr resound is a spy all he did was exercise his right to freedom of information he received and 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 or the safety of american citizens or defense. but we've also got a plenty of news stories features analysis on our website that's awful to see what's standing by to talk. saturday saw russian opposition supporters flooding back onto the streets you can head to the web site for a detailed timeline and a report from the ground. and the chameleon women some of the top agents speak out about their movie star lives revealing what lengths and lady spies will and will not go to for the sake of their country. and watching the weekly on our to you now are shutting down intersections and

getting arrested those are the festivities planned for occupy wall street's first anniversary of the n.c. corporate movement started a year ago in new york it quickly engulfed other major american cities and even spread abroad they've often faced though a heavy handed action by police with numerous activists injured and the tent cities being torn down but the occupiers are determined to show the world they're still alive and kicking to regain momentum a year on and activist caleb maupin believes the anticapitalist movement can be reborn in many ways but. i would say without a doubt if one looks at the world right now one looks at what's happening in the middle east. greece. everywhere there is a confrontation going on against 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 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 exist but it is not utilized for even good and so absolutely we're going to see more of old it may take on a different character in organized labor as chicago the kind of teacher strike that they become more prominent than it was in the early days of occupy wall street but there's going to be more confrontations as the system dies. and i hear about say we will continue following the events planned by the occupy wall street movement in new york and other cities and if you can do stay with us from. spread world wide. i 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. be. on our team. and in just

a few minutes here on out he will get to the world update for now though iran's oil exports are now exceeding a million barrels a day it's making a bit of a mockery of the western sanctions designed specifically to the oil trade and washington as a way for strictures for japan and several e.u. nations as they rely heavily on iranian oil for the sanctions are aimed at forcing tehran to stop its atomic program which it insists is peaceful. 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 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 in 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 have been 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 move. for a disastrous invasion. well from iranian oil now to the russian gas giant gazprom it's fighting against a huge pressure over the company's pricing policy the european commission launched a case accusing the supplier of violating anti monopoly law went to say the government officially for a big gas problem to disclose any information to foreign parties without the kremlin's permission by russia insists it's protecting gas problem from aggressive

attempts by the e.u. to get a gas discount the company's a spokesman pretty off says that you 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 well we have always insisted on the open discussion and many undecided matters time and again gazprom and the russian government invited the you to start dialogue but were ignored. for us as promised now into the r.t. world up there we go with the least fifteen people having died in a blast in the northwestern pakistan area near the afghan border a bus carrying locals to a marketplace was hit by a roadside bomb all the victims were civilians the pakistani taliban who set up bases in neighboring afghanistan after the government pushed them out have claimed responsibility for the attack. a peaceful march of several hundred

striking miners has been blocked by south african police the workers were demanding an end to police violence a day after tear gas and rubber bullets were used to disperse similar protests the south african government has recently announced a crackdown on widespread minor undress that has already halted several platinum and gold mines the protest movement was galvanized after police shot dead thirty four miners last month during a strike over low wages. four nato troops have been killed in southern afghanistan in the latest so-called insider attack this incident brings the total number of green on blue attack victims to an unprecedented fifty one this year elsewhere militants wearing american uniforms attacked a u.s. base where the u.k.'s prince harry is stationed two marines died during that the taliban claimed the attack was aimed at the prince and as a reaction to the anti islam field film that was made in the united states.

cordin are just a few minutes here on see we bring you an interview with a man who's had first hand insider experience with one very well known militant group that will be right after the week's top headlines.
