turned on lebanon in light of a televised address given by the leader has done in this trial that not his beloved leader has poured forth staggered protests often even on this week starting monday evening in the southern suburbs of beirut he says at this moment is the worst insult to islam that he has put the blame squarely on the shoulders of the united states also eleven on the foreign minister there is warning for an emergency meeting of the arab league. to discuss this film now the united states has been same thing additional security has been sending the weeds to beef up security in cities around the region this is only inflaming tensions on the ground with many people unfortunately asking the question whether or not the united states is not benefiting from this mind this is a powerful as the excuse to send the suits on the ground here in time of the situation is calm for the moment although tensions are running high he said he can
11:09 am
feel the pull to sixteen teams the possibility that any kind of violence could be one any time. on his policy reporting right there from cairo while speaking about america's forces build up in protests stricken regions foreign affairs editor of chronicles magazine sort of coverage says it will only lead to ruin. it only means that the u.s. is getting deeper and deeper into a potential quagmire if they had any sense in foggy bottom inside the beltway that they would be disengaging and not extending their engage so what do you do with these forces do intervene now against the libyan authorities that you helped usher in last year against gadhafi do you intervene against the egyptian muslim brotherhood that you aided and abetted and put the pressure on the gyptian generals to cede power you know it's absurd but of course the u.s. policy in the region has been absurd in the russian for a long time the u.s.
11:10 am
state department and the policymaking community in washington were blinded by their own ideological blinkers far from bringing western style democracy human rights and all things bright and beautiful i don't think it's requires a degree tomic physics to grasp the reality of that in the use why make world democratisation means islam is ation. and over the riots violence and protests raging the white house has hit a cyber wall in its damage control efforts google and its you tube web site have declined to take the controversial video down despite u.s. government pleas as artie's guy in h.d. can explains their decision is in keeping with washington's stance from not so long ago. film may not have been the only reason behind the mass rage in the muslim world but it did provide the spark that lit the power to catch the.
11:11 am
the obama administration began their damage control efforts by bashing the film this video is disgusting and reprehensible but the same time maintaining that internet freedom cannot be curtailed we do not stop individual citizens from expressing their views no matter how distasteful they may be when the rage against the u.s. spread like wildfire with people in different countries storming u.s. embassies was the white house asked you tube to quote review the video to see if it was in compliance with their terms of use end of quote the company determined that the video was within guidelines but they did block it in a number of countries including libya egypt pakistan india and indonesia but i don't think there's much that they can do about the fact that these social network
11:12 am
tools are now in play in a situation where the effect is clearly going to be to mobilize anti american sentiment in an america and american activity in the wake of the arab spring the obama administration has been advertising the internet as a great tool to bring about change the policy involved spending millions of dollars to train activists in the muslim world on how to take advantage of the internet. we want to keep the internet open for the protestor using social media to organize a march in egypt the college student emailing her family photos of her semester abroad the lawyer in vietnam blogging to expose corruption but nowhere on hillary clinton's plans was there a person with a film mocking the prophet muhammad or thousands of angry people panting their rage over american policy towards the muslim world it seems a very work in the state department hoped would further the arab spring has now
11:13 am
backfired the fact of the matter is that the air net as wonderful as it is is also full of junk which means anything in offensive text an offensive film can potentially provoke mass where a different parts of the world many now see that the internet alone can bring change and sometimes it can be the fastest way to spread violence and chaos in washington i'm going to check on that. while many are wondering just who is responsible for stirring up the muslim world that's one of the issues we discuss with a former extremist now on the trail against radical islam i think if you would offer a tough economy this coming up next hour here on our say.
11:14 am
live from moscow this is our it's he it is exactly a year since the occupy wall street movement kicked off in new york's zuccotti park protesting against corporate greed it spread across the u.s. brought despite a typically heavy handed response by police and all of the occupiers want to regain new momentum. mass rallies on the anniversary of the movement to use marina portnoy as the epicenter in new york join us live here and i'll tell you it's good to see you again certainly the police there in downtown new york very busy clad in their riding gear apparently we're hearing reports they've already arrested seventeen people so far. that's right and that number is climbing according to the president of new york city's national loyal lawyers guild at least eighty five people have been arrested since the occupy
11:15 am
demonstrators began a few hours ago on monday now of course this event marks the one year anniversary of this grassroots movement a movement that many say the u.s. has not seen in decades now it began in zuccotti park when hundreds of activists were camped out to fight up to fight against and speak out about the economic inequality in the u.s. and particularly about corporate influence on u.s. politics now when the activists were removed from their camp crowds here in new york city and throughout the country the movement did suffer somewhat of a blow because the activists were organizing indoors they were not allowed to really be out on the streets the police crackdown against their the type of dissent that they wanted to show publicly but earlier today i had a chance with to speak with pulitzer prize winning journalist and author chris hedges who says the occupy movement is still a very powerful force here in the u.s.
11:16 am
. i think the occupy movement was a seismic shift not only in terms of the discourse but in terms of identifying the centers of power and how to respond to them i think we have to look at occupy as a tactic and because the ruling class has responded exclusively in the language of force by trying to eradicate it race these encampments rather than respond rationally hundreds of thousands of americans have lost their unemployment benefit . it's there's been no attempt by the ruling elite to address the chronic under employment and unemployment this political paralysis is very dangerous because in evidently routines a backlash were not guaranteed to remain nonviolent or that it will remain inclusive in a way that the occupy movement has meant now merino obviously it's been a very tough year for the occupy protesters are doing member you covering this story a year ago there in new york there was one one isolated case of a retired new york police officer actually crossing the picket line and joining the
11:17 am
protesters ultimately that was a bit of an isolated event but now as we know it's been a tough year what kind of hurdles have they had to leap over to get to continue the momentum here. well it's been quite a difficult year for these activists and their supporters let's remember over the past year according to the occupy movement more than ten thousand people have been arrested across the country coming onto the streets and supporting the movement supporting the message of economic inequality supporting the ninety nine percent you know were seven weeks out from the u.s. election and this movement really resonates with the majority of americans because the recession is still a humongous problem but there have been several several hurdles for these activists to overcome throughout the past year and to take a look back we turn to our tease on a sausage or cannot. remember one triggered by wealth inequality inspired by
11:18 am
the arab spring occupy wall street a movement of the people bringing up real dialogue over the need to improve the way america runs. spilled onto the streets when the same bankers but the economy were bailed out by our taxpayer money that provoked occupy wall street and what we hope to do with frame that outrage outrage about very basic issues that most americans and to a group understand. the big apple became the birthplace of the occupy movement just one week into the protests all hell broke loose. police brutality was brought into the spotlight protesters often confronted by tear gas and pepper sprayed even war veterans injured. faces bloodied demonstrators beaten with but tons and dragged journalists abused and arrested. camps in major cities eventually
11:19 am
eradicated by officials one after another remembers a comedy park in new york's financial district it was here that the first occupy camp was set up hundreds of people meet mr mock thousands. no we weren't in a fight but she eventually got cleared out and stands largely empty today i can buy up to the same change the format it's not going to and while critics say occupy did not bring the change and accountability it fought for few would argue that the economic and social issues that triggered occupy have been solved about one third of the american public is either in poverty or on the cusp of poverty that's one hundred million people and yet you hear virtually nothing about poverty in this election closing the gap between the rich and poor eradicating sky high student debt bringing accountability to wall street all major issues yet to be tackled in the us two thirds of the u.s. senate are millionaires forty five percent of the house of representatives are
11:20 am
millionaires we have the best democracy that money can buy and actual democracy made a little more possible with the seeds sown by occupy and stacy churkin or r.t.e. new york. and here in auto you will have plenty more on the one year anniversary of the occupy wall street movement will have a throughout the day here including interviews with activists and ultimately old i was getting involved in the ongoing movement. what began to spread worldwide. with ninety nine percent versus the one percent with all the money. are they getting equality into the economy. with the recession ahead can we afford not to mention. the occupy movement. on our team. and out he is coming to you live from moscow and japanese protests have now hit china at the volatile dispute over who
11:21 am
owns a series of islands escalates the fallout over the archipelago dispute has been widening between tokyo and beijing since japan decided to bypass china and buy the territories from private investors as comes as washington on tokyo agreed to put a second anti missile defense system in japan claiming it will be focused on deterring north korean aggression but james corbett the editor of the colbert report who lives he lives in japan thinks the system will be deployed for all the wrong reasons. there is going to have to be some sort of dialogue and one certainly hopes that it will come quicker because of the demonstrations are starting to get out of hand in china and so some real damage is being done of course not only to to japanese interests but even to owners of japanese restaurants or people who drive japanese cars in china are now being attacked in these protests and as a result we're starting to see the mirror opposite here in japan and obviously not
11:22 am
rioting or anything of that sort but there is an increase in the rate we nationalists driving around with their loudspeakers with their anti chinese slogans at cetera so it's definitely creating increased tensions and the only way out of this is for some sort of diplomatic breakthrough and it doesn't look like the two parties are really willing to come to the table at this point to the idea that this new expand radar is going to be really aimed at north korea not to china is that is about as silly as saying that the. the missile defense shield going up in europe is not aimed at russia i think we all know that it is expressed in beijing and beijing this intercontinental ballistic missile capabilities which are only increasing as they continue to spend more and more on their military capabilities so it's definitely going to have an effect in ratcheting up tensions even further for a just a moment here on r.t. for done your bushel with the business for now and once celebrated as an icon of bravery after surviving the seven seven london bombings in two thousand and five is now facing deportation from the u.k. immigration authorities say
