3:05 pm
afghanistan and pakistan as people demonstrate that anger with the u.s. it's all on her twenty feet but paula slid under school. from the pack nationalist forum says the protests and all aimed at the video but all the result of long pent up anger. these demonstrations really are not really directed at the film itself they are a result of an accumulation over the past few months and years the good film right now has acted as the sparkle that really exploded as a result of the failure of the us government to contain what many many muslims are seeing right now as an organized campaign in inside the united states not very timid speech but an organized campaign to insult and humiliate this religion i think most of the demonstrations we're seeing right now most of them were spontaneous with the probably one exception of the attack and the murder of the u.s. and the house that are in libya that was that appeared to be the work of militant
3:06 pm
groups on the ground ironically i think them and chris stevens who actually advocated that the united states and nato arm the militants in libya eventually fell prey to the same militant groups on the ground so with the exception of that one unfortunate incident i think most of the demonstrations we're seeing right now are really spontaneous and the pain and the anger is really genuine after a decade of intense focus and relationship building in the middle east much of washington's work is now in danger of being undone the pressure is now on america's diplomats to minimize the fallout and as marina portnoy reports they've got their work cut out. 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

3:08 pm
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 it 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 this trucks. 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

a treaty was signed it michel 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 the best is for europe i have my job because of greece. and the show 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

3:24 pm
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 has already already has been on with 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 and then doing well for crude but the end of the day that didn't actually yield anything but massive humanitarian suffer suffering and then eventually this movement for a disastrous invasion. the russian gas giant gazprom is fighting against a you pray. over the company's pricing policy european commission launched a case accusing the supplier of violating the law on tuesday the russian government
