six am in moscow i met très a good to have you with us here on r t our top story anger and protests tore across the global muslim community this week in a fierce outpouring against a film made in the states that ridiculed islam centered in a region still reeling from more than a year of unrest it's become one of the bloodiest episode since the dawn of the arab spring. western diplomatic missions and businesses have been targeted by mobs of protesters incensed by what's seen as a direct attack on the prophet mohammed washington's ordered most of its diplomatic staff out of tunisia and sudan after attacks there led to casualties protests

erupted in dozens of countries across the world with clashes in europe asia even australia the violence has left at least a dozen dead over the last week or peace paullus leader has the latest from cairo. clashes have erupted in me pakistani says we are watching where at least one person has been killed and some often doesn't injured as thousands of people passed with security forces not far from the u.s. consulate building in the city now the police fired warning shots into the air they used tear gas as well as come in to try and dispersed. also on sunday to the demonstrations held in various cities across the country in the city of this while hundreds of other local business to watch lakeport for the american ambassador to pakistan to be expelled they will support a boycott on the e.u. its goods and services now because the some authority substance blocked access to this on you tube it is a fifteen minute trade out of

a film that has been titled innocence of muslims leaving me playing topless photos taken into placement in the united states has since been released although he has gone into hiding also on sunday to meet the needs of the poor hundreds of people took to the streets taunted him to marry women and returned so this is only intensifying and to the aggravating american afghani relations this violence comes and while the united states has to do things to move this to happen why women who vote in local the make their way into the into the fold the means to the mind mission for mobilizing in sudan the government to say that they could do it this is a situation by themselves the demonstrations all the way to the north africa and in the east the approach is happening in lebanon in somalia in iraq in turkey in gaza

and even in tel aviv it also free to do it tyrus their protesters took to the streets near the american embassy in the building city of and for at least one hundred twenty people were detained this weekend off the demonstrations. and this is far afield of australia where the police were forced to pick a yes this is not existing can be combined with the emirate on. mary and that's a very noble and noble bring me in mind peace to be on the go there not the united states has wanted it back to raise. money and still diplomats and the families come down as well as anybody holding american citizenship and these who want to this is just me and it seemed to me very dynamic situation to. temples amani i'm not yet at the situation will be coming down in the coming days.

paul is heading up our coverage of the anti us on arrest with the latest developments and updates on her twitter feed you can find out all the whole asleep underscore our t.v. on twitter. made caray she from the pack nationalist forum says the controversial video may have been the spark that lit this bonfire but i am against the us has been simmering in the arab world for a long time. 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 film right now has acted as the sparkle that really exploded as a result of the failure of the u.s. government to contain what many many muslims are seeing right now as an organized campaign in inside the united states not be timid speech been 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 us that are in libya that was that appeared to be the work of militant 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 did history as we're seeing right now are really spontaneous and the pain and the anger is really genuine. mending relations with the middle east has been a top priority of president obama's administration but now years of work are in danger of coming on arrival because of the you tube clip diplomats are under pressure to limit the harm done by the film and if you use the anger felt by the muslims artie's were in a portal has more on that. 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. and arabic language channel my job to the muslim world is to communicate that americans are now your enemy 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 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 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 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. baki saddam we're told show them over ninety percent of the pakistanis to know americans the primary enemy america's net lot of bloggers and it's made them 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 and the real years of progress marina portnoy artsy me are us i strongly condemn the production

in an effort to calm anti-u.s. fury and un secretary-general ban ki moon joined the chorus of their disapproval saying it was deliberately designed to instill bigotry and bloodshed while russia's president putin warned that all governments should work to prevent religious provocation. it's because. 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 insulted ones start to defend their own interests sometimes this can lead to wide bloodshed we 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 that they should not forget their personal responsibility for what's going on in their territories with protests continuing across the arab world you can find full coverage on our website our team dot com there as we have

a timeline charting the evolution of the protests plus profiles of a former pornographer and convicted fraudster thought to be behind the film's production and much more on that and more at our website. the e.u. financial crisis has led to renewed calls for catalonia to separate from the rest of spain more than a million and a half people packed the streets of barcelona thursday to demand independence from madrid the country's financial woes and perceived interference contributed to the region's desire to go it alone carlos del close a sociologist at pump a new fabry university thinks it could be the first of many such protests. the

difference between this year and last year particularly is that now the butt of the local law 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 regions like that feel themselves as nations like a balloon you know or the basque region or a lot more aggressive in posing that sort of identity of this certainly. service bills are sort of recession is. secession is i guess sensibilities. the spanish capital also saw tens of thousands protest against planned austerity measures the government said to announce a new package of cuts by the end of the summer while in the portuguese capital lisbon an angry mob pelted the local headquarters of the international monetary fund with tomatoes and fireworks john lackland from the institute of democracy and

cooperation says 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 in any other future occasion is going to make the 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 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 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 germany's highest court cleared the way for the country to proceed with plans for a fresh belle out fund the five hundred billion euro fine intended to help euro zone countries riddled with debt germans fear the project could commit berlin to

paying unlimited amounts to struggling states but the judge or a strict in the contribution to one hundred ninety billion euros doctor got her 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 not curing the disease. the past is an imperfect guide to the future so far the german parliament has always approved aid i think we are reaching a point where germany has spent so much money that she's logged 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 program in southern europe i can see that happen the economic situation in southern europe is dire every indication we have is that it's getting worse if you probably sub wired 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. an early general election in the netherlands shows the eurozone is still trusted by the people there with a majority of votes going in favor of two pro european parties as well as the country's more likely to back a german led solution to the debt crisis but as our reports a rethink of some austerity measures could be inevitable. it was back in ninety ninety two when a treaty was find it 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 is the best is for europe i have my jobs because of greece. and the netherlands it's

a pro european country of course it shouldn't come to the extreme 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 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 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. voters. are becoming less convinced

of the rationale of the continued austerity policies and begin to vote for parties who oppose the logical full 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 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 so you r.t. the netherlands stay with us still to come this hour a year out of the occupy protests to live in taking anti-corporate activists in the u.s. to return to the streets of new york ahead of the first anniversary of the start of the occupy movement blocks. western sanctions to pressure iran into talks over its

at least twenty activists arrested in new york when they gathered for herself for monday's occupy wall street march in downtown manhattan the anti-corporate movement started a year ago in new york and rapidly spread to other major cities and abroad and often faced heavy handed response from police with numerous activists injured in tent cities torn down occupiers though are determined to show the world they're still going strong and ready to regain momentum activist caleb moppin thinks the anticapitalist campaign can be can be reborn in 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 to 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 economy in the world capitalist economy is in a state of collapse profits rule and we just. morris we just get home foreclosures

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 that path that has already already has been on 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 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 well for food but the end of the day that didn't actually yield anything but massive humanitarian suffer suffering and then eventually this movement for disasters invasion russian energy
