procedures it taper down to increase as the work week begins tomorrow auntie's polis we're live in cairo thank you. one of the films cast has also were dealt with eighty people disavowing their work and declaring they were deceived they say the lines were voiced over and that they had not been told of any point about what the film was truly about the american journalist and antiwar activist don de bar says the core of the issue lies deeper than just what the film itself. 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. ease 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
11:07 am
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 a 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. while in the wake of the
11:08 am
violence which did starting cairo barack obama has now said that the u.s. does not consider egypt an ally the outrage triggered by this you tube film posted in the states. of efforts by the u.s. government to establish friendly bin laden's with cairo and other muslim communities it's more important as 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
11:09 am
with americans are now you 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 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
11:10 am
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 the foods american interests and some western interests a cause for war and invasion of iraq as we have seen destruct. 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 push shut down 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 arab world it's their worst. poll showed they were ninety percent of the pakistanis
11:11 am
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 its islamic 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. r.t. we are. and in the meantime a u.s. secretary of defense leon panetta has admitted that washington expects the protests to continue i'll be less violently journalist to broadcast and the clock says america should have seen this coming. remember the old saying you reap what you sow and the us has been what it so that sent back to every two thousand and eleven the us took nato in the attack on iraq is libya really debt getting destruction and
11:12 am
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 carried out the killings we got to put it wider context and this would have happened had native not intervened last year governments losing its grip in libya in egypt in across the region and the us 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 delete anything as we look across the globe everywhere where nato has to be has been a disaster look at iraq one million people killed there you go slower because of it 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
11:13 am
globe when we learn that it just leads to more death and destruction. than a while first condemning the violence so the u.s. has also come out against the film in question in a temper to calm the fury of joining them was u.n. secretary general ban ki moon he slammed the production as the deliberately designed to sow bigotry and bloodshed there was also reaction from russia with president putin saying all governments should work together to prevent religious provocation. 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 you've issued that they should not forget their personal responsibility for what's going on in their territories which is the picture i know
11:14 am
where the protests continuing across the muslim world and very violent certainly expected to continue as well i've got the full coverage on our website our dot com recall the timeline from the moment the first protests began as well as profiles on the form of pornography and the convicted fraudster behind the production of the film that and much more all on our website. so just on a quarter past the hour here in moscow thanks for joining us on arts he today the e.u. financial crisis has spurred separatism in spain's catalonia over
11:15 am
a million and a half people packed the streets saying the region needs financial sovereignty at least or to be a full independent state college step closer as a sociologist at pompei a university thinks that her boss alona could see even bigger 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 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 the this could certainly. serve as an impulse to sort of recession ist secession is i guess sensibilities. well as spain's capital madrid also saw tens of thousands strong
11:16 am
protests against planned austerity measures the government is set to announce a new pack of cuts by the end of september in portugal's capital lisbon an angry mob pelted the local headquarters of the international monetary fund with tomatoes and fireworks john laughlin the director of studies to be interviewed of democracy and corporation says the governments are repeating their mistakes. 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 the states are too heavily indebted and evenly various so-called austerity programs which have been 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 this is the european union for many decades now it's played
11:17 am
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 court has cleared the way for the country's president to ratify a fresh bell out fund of the five hundred billion euro plan is intended to help eurozone countries riddled with debt and the germans fear that the project could commit further into paying unlimited amounts to struggling states but the judge restricted germany's contribution to the rescue fund to one hundred and ninety billion euros dr gunn are back 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 it's not curing the disease itself the past is name perfect 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
11:18 am
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 can see that happening the economic situation in southern europe this dire every occasion 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 if for cuts it will not enforce it . but people meantime 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 result these tests are sillier reports a rethink of some austerity measures seems to be inevitable. it was back in ninety
11:19 am
ninety two when a treaty was signed and vish out 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 job because of greece. and the shelves in 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 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
11:20 am
challenging the german led a stair the 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 any more of we can see in europe. are becoming less convinced of the rationality of continued austerity policies begin to vote for parties who oppose the logic or 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 claim victory followed closely by the center left labor party both viewed as pro europe but the
11:21 am

11:22 am
a way of getting back at him for his wiki leaks activities he's recently hired distinguished spanish human rights investigator. in an effort scuse me to head his legal team at their ultimate goal is to keep him away from extradition to the united states is renowned for fighting the most controversial cases having previously confronted terror cells dictators and american politicians and says his client did nothing more than just. yes his freedom of speech. 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 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 of the media for both you and i we've also got a plenty of news stories or features and analysis on our website r.t.
11:23 am

11:24 am
faced a heavy handed action by police with numerous activists injured and ten cities torn down but the occupiers are determined to show the world they are still very much alive and kicking to regain momentum one year on and activist caleb maupin believes the anticapitalist movement can be reborn in many more ways than. 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 every. where 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 home foreclosures we just get mass unemployment get all this wealth exist and is not utilized for even good so absolutely we're going to see it may take on a different character in organized labor that's chicago this chicago teachers strike that maybe more prominent than it was in the early days of occupy wall
11:25 am
street that there's going to be more confrontations as the system dies. and of course i hear it all too we'll be continuing to follow the events are planned by the occupy wall street movement to a new york and other cities if you can do stay with us for that. spread world wide. i 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. the old you. are today. thanks for joining us here on the program today 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 to the oil trade and washington has had
11:26 am
to waive restrictions for japan and several e.u. nations as they rely heavily on iranian oil sanctions are aimed at forcing terror on to halt its atomic program which it insists is peaceful but jamal abdi the policy director of the national iranian american council believes the sanctions only for seron to spend even more on nuclear oversight. 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 that 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 whole series always going to be loopholes there's always going to be this game of whack a mole where iran response 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
11:27 am
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 disastrous invasion. from iranian oil to the russian gas giant gazprom it's fighting against e.u. pressure over the company's pricing policy the european commission launched a case accusing the supplier of violating the monopoly is what you said the government officially for a big gas problem to disclose any information to foreign parties without the kremlin's permission rusher insists it's just protecting gas problem from aggressive attempts by the e.u. to get a gas discount the company's spokesman. says that europe didn't even attempt to start a 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
11:28 am
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. and straight to south africa now to open up the art world update is where a peaceful march of several hundred striking miners has been blocked by a start african police the workers were demanding an end to police violence the 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 unrest 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. in china anti japanese protests or escalators police have to use force to disperse crowds japanese businesses factories and vehicles have been attacked in major chinese cities the demonstrations were sparked
