a fifteen minute trade out of a film that has been titled innocence of muslims we believe playing topless photos taken in for questioning in the united states has since been released although he has gone into hiding also on sunday to meet the needs of. hundreds of people to stop talking to and to marry women and returns to them this is only intensifying and to the aggravating american afghani relations this fireman's fund says while the united states has to do things to me with these otherwise women who vote reopen the make there after the incident to be held in the midst of the mind mission for mobilizing in sudan the government is saying that they could do it and this is a situation by themselves the demonstrations all the way to north africa and in the east the approaches happening in lebanon in somalia in the one in turkey in gaza

and even in tel aviv they've also spread to europe and tyrus their protesters took to the streets near the american embassy in the build institute and for at least one hundred twenty people were detained this weekend after demonstrations. and this is on a field of australia where the police were forced to use gas to dismiss not existing then the mine was. made on a. very pastoral remember and now they have me in mind these days on the go to bed now the united states has wanted the evacuation of the one thing still diplomats and the families come down as well as holding and many of the citizenship of these who want to this is just me and it seems to me very dynamic trace him to temples amani i'm not. at the situation will be

calm down in the coming days. paulus leader is spearheading our coverage of the anti us under arrest with the latest developments and first hand updates on her twitter feed you can find out all of paulus lior underscore our team. made caray she from the pack nationalist forum says the controversial video may have been the spark that lit the bonfire but i'm sure against the us in the arab world has been simmering 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 good film right now has acted is the sparkle that really exploded as a result off 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 to be timid speech but an organized campaign to insult and humiliate this religion i think most of the demonstrations

we've seen right now most of them were spontaneous with the probably one exception of the attack and the murder of the u.s. and now us that are in libya that was that appear 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 demonstrations we're seeing right now are really spontaneous and the teen and the anger is really genuine. mending relations with the middle east has been a top priority of the obama administration but now years of work are in jeopardy of coming undone because of a single you tube clips to you tube clip diplomats are under pressure to limit the harm done by the film and diffuse anger felt by muslims parties marina portnoy has more. 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 to the muslim world is to communicate with the 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 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 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 food 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 right across the entire. it's their worst inbox. all showed they were ninety percent of pakistanis americans their primary an enemy america's never loved blunders 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 see real

years of progress. r.t. me on. the us strongly condemns the production of an effort to calm anti-u.s. fury but u.n. secretary general ban ki moon joined the chorus of disapproval saying it was deliberately designed to instill bigotry and bloodshed russia's president vladimir putin warned that all governments should work to prevent religious provocation. it's because. if you study 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 that 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 issue to be should not forget their personal responsibility for what's going on in their territories which is the picture with

protests continuing across the arab world you can find full coverage on our website our team dot com there we have a timeline charting the evolution of the protests plus profiles of the former pornographer and convicted fraudster thought to be the film's producer more on that much more at r.t. dot com. getting news into our team that's only come our way in this past hour a russian soyuz spacecraft carrying the thirty second has landed safely in kazakstan after successfully endako from the international space station a few hours ago for more on this we go live to our correspondent tom barton

standing by for us at moscow's star city so tom tell us what's happening now and how did the mission go. yes the astronauts joseph and the cosmonauts. and revenue they're all back on earth safely after four months up and the international space station they landed in the step in kazakstan . by the teams that have come out to make sure they get safely out of their capsule they're on the step now wrapped in thermal blankets making calls to their loved ones to tell them tell them they're ok they've been up there for months now with three of the crew members maintaining a presence in space conducting experiments up there and maintenance on the international space station one notable piece of ingenuity up there was their use of a toothbrush to help mend a solar panel up there they use that to help lubricate one of the parts. there now

don't have to worry about things like that anymore they're back on earth and they're reentry came in over the mediterranean and all went without a hitch right that's great news to the russian space program has had several setbacks over the last year tell us more on that. it has indeed there have been a list of mistakes in the russian space program in the past year and a half including a supply rocket that fell back to worth the loss of a number of satellites and also the failure of a mission to try and investigate one of the martian moons all of those very expensive if unmanned mission failures which have caused considerable embarrassment and concern in the the russian space program it's likely that as a result there will be

a restructuring of the russian space agency ross cosmos there have also been a number of high profile resignations as for manned missions those have continued without any major problems this is the latest of those that's has gone a successfully and after the u.s. and nasa retired its space shuttles these soyuz missions remain the only link to the international space station. thank you very much in speaking with us live from cairo you of in the moscow region thanks for that update. the e.u. financial crisis has led to renewed calls for catalonia to separate from the rest of spain more than a million have people packed the streets of barcelona thursday to demand independence from madrid the country's first call was in perceived to be interference contributed to the region's desire to go it alone carlos da close a sociologist at pompei you fabry university thinks this could be the first of many such protests. the difference between this year and last year particularly is that

now the butt of the 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 regions like that feel themselves as nations like up a little you know our the basque region they're a lot more aggressive in posing that sort of identity on that this could certainly . service an impulse to more sort of secession is. secession is like a 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 september while in lisbon the portuguese capital an angry mob pelted the local headquarters of the international monetary fund with tomatoes and fireworks john lackland from the democracy institute for 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 a blip and nothing today and nothing in any other future occasion is going to make that opium go away even budget cuts are not going to make the central problem go away which is that the states are too heavily indebted and even meet various the 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 not just 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 has cleared the way for the country to proceed with plans for a fresh bellowed fund the five hundred billion euro fund is intended to help the euro zone countries who are at all with debt germans fear the project could commit berlin to paying unlimited amounts to struggling states but the judge restricted

the country's contribution capping it at one hundred ninety billion euros dr gunnar back a specialist in e.u. law 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 and if you probably sub wired 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 . still to come this hour a year on the occupy protest still alive and kicking anti-corporate activists in the u.s. set to return to the streets of new york ahead of the first anniversary of the start of the occupy movement plus. western sanctions to pressure iran into talks over its nuclear program having little effect as the country announces oil sales on the rise. but before we get to that julian assange could find himself in the clearest forensic evidence in this swedish sex assault case against him is pointing to the alleged victim's story possibly being untrue there was no trace founder julian assange d.n.a. on a key piece of evidence submitted to support the allegations of songe always deny the charges maintaining they were trumped up to get back at him for his wiki leaks activities a distinguished spanish human rights lawyer. is now heading his legal team the

a new type of mosquito that could put hundreds of. thousands of wives that arrests i don't why. at least twenty activists were arrested in new york when they gathered for hearst monday's occupy wall street march in downtown manhattan the anti-corporate movement started a year ago in new york rapidly spreading to other major cities and abroad it often faced a heavy handed response from police with numerous activists injured in tent cities torn down occupiers though say they're determined to show the world they're still going strong and are ready to regain momentum activists things the anticapitalist campaign 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 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 then 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 so absolutely we're going to see we're told it may take on a different character you know organized labor is chicago this chicago teachers strike that may 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 we're closely following the events planned for the occupy movement in new york and other cities so stay with us for more info on that. general spread world wide. ninety nine percent versus

the one percent with all the money. and they get you quality into the home of the. recession ahead. not. the occupying. aren't. violent uprising in afghanistan is for u.s. soldiers were killed in a suspected insider attack the american servicemen were coming to the aid of afghan police after getting reports of an attack since the incident three of the four local officers have disappeared off the base this a day after two british soldiers were killed trying to help a man dressed in an afghan police uniform this brings the overall death toll from so-called green on blue attacks to fifty one in the last few months meanwhile eight women have been killed in the nato air strike targeting suspected militants some of the victims as young as ten why it's officials admit the strike on armed insurgents may have included some civilian casualties. iran's oil exports are now exceeding

a million barrels a day flouting western sanctions designed to curb the trade washington's had to waiver instructions for japan and several other e.u. countries that rely heavily on iranian crude sanctions are aimed at forcing tehran to halt its atomic program which it insists is peaceful. policy director at the national iranian american council thinks the sanctions only force iran to spend even more on nuclear research. i don't know that you could actually look at the last 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 with sanctions you know there's no perfect sanctions regime there's always going to be. whole 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 suffering suffering and then eventually this movement for disasters invasion russian energy giant gazprom lashed out at the e.u. for what it claims as blatant political pressure from brussels to get better gas prices the european commission launched a case accusing the supplier of violating an anti monopoly law tuesday russia's government officially barred gazprom from disclosing information to foreign parties without kremlin permission moscow says its protecting gazprom from aggressive attempts by the e.u. to get gas discounts the company spokesman. says europe didn't even try to negotiate a solution. during this past year the european commission didn't take
