and britain lead the largest naval exercises off the iranian coast while israel steps up its tough talk on terror. it is a pleasure to have you with us here on r t today rory sushi live in moscow the number of dead over an amateur film to riding islam is now more than fifty just one week since the protests began and the latest victims were a dozen people in kabul killed instantly when an afghan suicide bomber rammed a car full of explosives into the many. joining the fray now is thailand where rank of one of the. of riot police formed

a perimeter outside the u.s. embassy hundreds more protesters marched on the mission waving banners and chanting against america at the embassy was put on lockdown ahead of the protests and all non-essential staff were sent away for safety pretreated now reports on the most violent of recent episodes. more than ten people have died in kabul afghanistan today after a vehicle flammed into a minivan full of aviation workers we know that most of those individuals that were killed in the attack today were foreigners now all of this is happening as a result of an american made movie called the innocence of muslims the group that has taken responsibility for this attack in kabul is known as the party of islam and they're closely tied to the taliban and they believe that there should not be foreign forces in afghanistan at this suicide incident actually happened a day after there were protests across kabul we've also seen violence increase in

pockets than tension between police and pakistani citizens as a result of this video has led to at least two people being killed me soft tens of thousands of people protesting in lebanon the leader of hezbollah has asked for the people of his country to lead a week long protest as a result of this video which he believes has been the strongest attack against islam that he has ever seen. but the protests have been spreading i look at the map right here they are springing up in more than thirty countries in just one week and violent episodes have been on the rise as well militants and terrorists seeking to capitalize on the anger more large scale demonstrations are now planned in iran and lebanon and more now on the attack in afghanistan of the increasing role of militants in this conflict with international consultant and former deputy speaker

of the belgian parliament load of unused good to see you today as i'm sure you are listening to the report this bombing in afghanistan isn't the first such attack attributed to the film it is the deadliest yet many saying we are starting to see a trend. well first of all that may remark that whatever is circulating on the internet nothing can justify crimes these people who commit this crime has been prosecuted and convicted having said that i mean the people who produce such kind of thing no knowing what the consequences will be are also guilty of other crimes which is not to say that the crimes that are now being committed are just the fire of all the thing is if we just look at did this so-called spark to devolve this film i mean this is it is far more than that the these are people most of these protesters are people without a job without any economical perspective having seen the humiliation of having lived under dictatorships mostly supported by the u.s.

by britain by the european union for decades and basically what it is this is this is an expression of anger of humiliation of frustration which is not a say again about your position it's not i'm sort of jumpy but you're saying basically regarding what some are calling a very weak and diluted video on youtube people are just actually using this as an excuse to vent our anger that's been building up for years. i'm not talking about it these protesting in general many of these people are genuinely protesting against this and sold in for what they believe in but is absolutely sure that there are also organization who use this for their own goals extremist movements i mean we all now begin to see that the attack on the consulate in libya was actually a very well prepared commando attack i mean the d.c. the anger is always there this is always happening whenever there is revolved whenever there are protests people will use that as a as

a vehicle for their own agenda dishpan is perfectly clear that what is going home is partly anger and frustration of many people and on the same time this is being used by extremist movements. so there is only so much of what we're seeing is now spreading all across the world it's been going on for just a week over fifty approximately now have been killed in the violence over thirty countries we're seeing the short term effects talk about the long term effects. well i think the short term effects of course you have to do whatever you can to stop these protests but under the long term effect if we do not analyze profoundly and look at the reasons the long historical reasons for why these people are so frustrated and why they always say react in this manner these things are going to repeat themselves again as long as we do not look into ourselves what have we been doing there for decades what are we doing there right now when i say we i mean the west i mean as long as we do not face that reality these things will occur or let's

turn our attention out of out of our europe in belgium there were clashes a few days ago between a hard line islamists and police or is it a charter that would actually harm public opinion on islam. well yes of course this does harm public opinion on islam but i happen to be very well aware of what happened in the city of and to up and this was a largely i'm very sad to say but this particular incident was a very. exaggerated by our media here actually it was only five six people who started shouting and then the police who reacted i mean but this is what happens when you have these tensions going on and this is also what happens even when you do not consider the deeper frustration most of these kids that you saw on the street are jobless didn't don't have proper diplomas setter as long as we in the long term we do not look at these deeper causes these things we reoccur in europe and elsewhere for a lot of our new stuff former deputy speaker of the belgian parliament thanks for coming on today always a pleasure thank you. well with

a passion burning strong across the religious divide there's no shortage of provocative especially in europe nationalist far right german group in berlin says it wants to stay. just screening of the film that began it all. reporters something to worry here. it started in the middle east. but now the protests against a film a slim say it's an insult to islam have spread and they've arrived in europe the at least a hundred twenty muslims were arrested at a protest in. it's no longer about burning down u.s. embassies in muslim countries in europe they're calling for holy war. munden saw similar see demonstrators outside the u.s. embassy following friday prayers and up to a thousand again on sunday tempers flared and flags were burnt.

out of this point out this move scale of european protest compared to days in the middle east but they say local islamists are using this to recruit new members a worrying sign. as i say mainstream extremists want to a better word groups that are looking to exploit this in order to encourage usually young men to come and join them and try to get into the habit of protest a habit of extremists demonstrations and that's always there is be concerned about and it's already prompted a backlash as u.s. embassies all over europe come under siege from angry muslims a phone right islamophobia group in germany says it wants to put on a screening of the film the innocence of muslims the proof citizens movement say it's a question of art and freedom of expression but germany's interior ministry has accused

them of recklessly pouring oil on the fire it's a fire the radical muslims in the u.k. are all too happy to fan the flames of the muslims are rising loneliness. even in the west we want to some of the of the shari'a people hate the americans and the hate out lies and i think this is a very good turning point for the process was sparked by the film but they've taken on a why did i mention that also about foreign policy of america and its allies the fact of matter is the american behind the foreign responsibility was in place they had troops inside the release of killed most in the occupied land and it is always a sad life unfortunately the only thing sells to blame on what started as a conflict between east and west threatens to become a domestic struggle inside europe laura smith r.t. . or you can always i see the full time line as well as a past and present coverage of the global rallies on our website where you can also

read about how u.s. intelligence report warning that the american embassy in cairo is an active target all that i'm much more. we are coming to you live from moscow this is our t. at least three chinese patrol vessels briefly entered waters around disputed islands and japan it considers its own the tensions between the two countries escalated after tokyo brought the territory's from private investors bypassing china political analyst from hong kong professor george chang things beijing is sending japan a very clear message it is basically

a show that you ought isn't the goal certainly would like to demonstrate on its citizens. days considerable pain go in and out of the chinese people with what they see as a kind of. trade a kind of ads on the japanese government to goods phase these islands from the owner all the time these government and its chinese people. have to respond and to respond strongly certainly in the threat so kind of rising nationalisms in both countries. qualify japanese businesses billions of dollars are at stake to arrange protesters in beijing literally smash their shops along with their plans for short term prosperity of the country has

been plagued by and tokyo sentiment stephen clemons from the atlantic magazine believes the whole situation is a snapshot of the future relationship between both countries. and what we have both sides doing is probing weaknesses of the other china feels that it's a do more respect than it is using issues like the island issue or using. some skirmishes over japan just having consented to place another ballistic missile defense system has essentially two powers squaring off and while it looks like china japan and there are certainly deep historical grievances this is really about china testing the united states and its alliance with japan and to some degree i expect these kind of scrimmage is to continue for a long time be the it's games of brinksmanship it will continue to look tense and dance and dance and then you'll have moments of relaxation so what we're seeing today is a snapshot of what we're going to see for the next decade or more. now on monday at the u.s. defense secretary leon panetta sealed an anti missile defense deal with japan's

leaders decided to accept a second system on their territory to countries claim it is aimed at deterring possible north korean aggression but bruce co-founder of our space for peace says the world should not be buying this excuse. clearly the u.s. . working in her heat of tensions in the east pacific region. just in the past year is announced is. one of the military. is that the. pentagon will move sixty percent of its military forces into this region and it's not to worry about north korea surround north korea it's about surrounding china clearly the united states is intending to jack up the arms race and at the same time the must be said the u.s. is also doing the same thing to russia expanding missile defense throughout the.

europe and into central asia and clearly the u.s. is looking for trouble now to. it watching r.t. coming your way and i just a few minutes full of steam one year on occupy wall street marks its anniversary away from massive action in new york nearly two hundred arrests to attract more attention to the activists call us. naval war games are underway in the persian gulf but the was flying middle eastern flags rather those of britain the u.s. and their allies at the jeweler's happening in the strait of hormuz such just off the coast of iran as reports pour in that israel is preparing a military strike against it sara further explained that today seems even more likely than half. versus one of twenty five countries taking part. a twelve day exercise in the strait of hormuz in the largest wargames ever undertaken in the

region now this comes as fears grow that israel is preparing to launch a preemptive strike against iran's alleged nuclear weapons program now israeli prime minister netanyahu has said that iran's six to seven months away from having ninety percent of what it would need to create an atomic bomb not these are claims that iran vehemently denies and they've also warned that they will retaliate across the region were they to come under attack now here in britain at the same time the former liberal democratic defense minister nick harvey has claimed that he was fired in the recent cabinet reshuffle to avoid a damaging coalition split a preemptive strike on iran that now he's reported to have told friends that he was fired in that reshuffle to allow the deputy prime minister says sign up to an israeli u.s. preemptive strike and his criticisms of israel's actions could prove embarrassing

for the coalition will this comes on the back of continued concerns here that these war games and the recent statements are all signs that israel and iran edging ever closer to the brink of war and author and middle east expert tariq ali believes that israel will never be able to strike iran if it isn't backed by the western powers. netanyahu being sweet scent is not something new he and various members of his government are at their wits a low number of questions but the feeling is that is washington and its vassal state soon europe going to back an israeli attack on iran without washington's greenlight this attack cannot take place because american interests are very directly involved in the entire region so if it looks now it is two degrees it will long be no two no it will be the united states giving him the green light certainly the temperature in jerusalem is high nature neanderthal and his foreign

minister have been threatening iran quite seriously for the last four months and the west of course has let them get away with it i mean just imagine if any other country were threatening another sovereign state there would be some here wouldn't cry in international waters not in looking a severe stroke so the very notion that israel has the right to invade another country because it has nuclear weapons when israeli israel itself is a nuclear but is slightly grotesque. but it's always a much more on our website r.t. dot com here's something of what you can find there are at this hour right now the latest in cyber warfare web security researchers believe the us has created a whole series of computer super viruses in the wake of the iranian systems in two thousand and ten. health over security find out why controversial full body scanners are to be banned from u.s.

ports are that and a lot more lined up on our website. now nearly two hundred occupy wall street protesters were arrested in new york as they mocked the movement's one year anniversary a peaceful anti corporate activists flooded the streets trying to block the entrance to the stock exchange but police resorted to using force as seen over the past year aussie's more important was that to witness the offense the day began with hundreds of optimus and their supporters storming through lower manhattan some attempting to block the entrance of the new york stock exchange to take photographs we saw many clashes between the new york city police departments and up to visit that were walking through lower manhattan chanting we are the ninety nine percent

and pioneering a message that began months ago a message that started in new york city and then you might nationwide and ultimately global but the most important thing to note on monday when these optimists gather together for the one year anniversary is that they are still very much committed to their fight against income inequality against corporate influence on us politics but what also remain what the heavy handed tactics used by the n.y.p.d. against optimus some participating in civil disobedience my medications we saw that might be pushing up to this to the ground a lot of us feel disillusioned and kind of put down like we can't there's nowhere to go and there's no recourse that isn't violent you know they're the violent ones they're putting us in a position of violence and they're acting violently against us which i like. much disruption as we could you know to show people that we still run in that the

measures just do the same they're you know they still a lot of economic inequality in this country and the corporations are running away with power you know with the political game such genealogies because you don't see us here every day doesn't mean that we're not here it's actually something that gives me a lot of hope personally and something that makes me feel hopeful for the future to see all these people involved. everybody down here now all summer criticize this man as not bowing beyond civil disobedience are chanting or yelling still very clear that the frustrations that ignited this movement are still very much alive where it will go from here only time will tell but it will be interesting to see how and if this event this movement has any impact on the u.s. presidential election that is just seven weeks away the activists i spoke with throughout my day say they are committed committed to this movement and will be doing everything they can even if it means to civil disobedience to cause

a change in their system that they believe does not on behalf of ninety nine percent of the country reporting from new york. are now joining me live in the studio to discuss american internal policies ahead of november's big presidential election jeffrey summers associate professor at the university of wisconsin milwaukee thanks for coming on the program today we just heard marina's report of the occupy movement certainly highlighting some very real concerns plaguing america right now are they having any effect i think unfortunately they're having very little effect and i'm hoping that in the future they will have more effect but i think the most important thing that they are addressing that might have some impact in terms of the u.s. presidential election is the debate about student loans and the huge amount of debt burden that students are being saddled with so to my mind this is the issue that might resonate the most over the long term so you talk about the whole issue excuse me of student debt and i understand that many of the students out there whether

it's in medical or in law as soon as they go into their further education they already one hundred thousand dollars and the numbers can be enormous precisely and of course not all of them are becoming doctors or working on wall street. exactly or is there no to yes or section to them becoming schoolteachers indeed so here we have the two big wigs now on capitol hill. i want to stay in for a second in romany you saying that he's the man who can present real change do you think when it comes to the occupy wall street is who are they looking towards obama or romney i think for the most part they dislike both but that said people who are interested in this issue of student debt relief are more likely to side with obama . so there is some overlap between the larger movement of people who are concerned about this issue and occupy but i think occupy on the whole is unhappy with both candidates over the past four years but we heard president obama during his campaign rhetoric as he was getting into the white house we had changed change and change change have you seen any in the past four years i think there's been very

little and there are two reasons for this primarily one is the fact that obama just by his inclination and personality does not seem to be that interested in taking on in powerful entrenched interests he seems to see himself as potentially being the great conciliator the person who can bring together different interests and i think we're at a time in our history where the country is very divided so i think he's misread his world in history and consequently he has not introduced that much change in our stars from domestic and economic issues what about foreign policy you know obama was saying that guantanamo bay will be shut down within months of him coming into the white house is that still wide open that's still working that american military bases still in over one hundred countries worldwide have we seen a big distancing from all of the above administration from that of george w. bush is pretty well i don't think we've seen the degree of military adventurism that we saw with george bush and so that's a good sign and i think that with obama presidency we might see over turn to that in fact i think romney has suggested that he would essentially reprisal the military keynesianism of reagan so in effect i think there are some differences

between the two candidates that said i mean we have not seen obama address many of the issues as you just cited that he claimed that he would now we've certainly heard a presidential candidate this republican mitt romney he had a statement to say just in recent weeks when he was doing his campaigning on the trail to say that america's biggest enemy to date is russia right. you see him following through those words if he does make it to the oval office i think that's part of that. with the republican party and in terms of their desire to reprice the military keynesianism of the reagan administration so all they did cried the debts that have been incurred under the obama administration i think their actual plan is to actually juice up government spending in order to make the con of me recover and they think that perhaps they can present russia is the enemy again so it's a very dangerous situation i think it a very good one now when it comes to when it comes to luring in the voters a fool for the final ramp up to this election what does obama need to focus on what does romney do focus on would it be a. defense industry foreign policy or water well in terms of actually winning the

election i think the republican strategy has been to kind of juice up again this frustration and anger that resides with the american people and i don't think romney is saying which success i don't think that's resonating enough to actually win the election in fact the american press today they just released a video clip in which he said that forty seven percent of the electorate he's not even interested and he calls them the moochers you know very low it is a very low does exactly and these are people who are attending a fifty thousand dollars plate fund raiser so you know i think ultimately his prospects for one of the elections are are rather small i think obama's. chief strategy in terms of winning is just presenting himself as not romney at this point so he can actually not perform all that well and yet still win the election for someone who is a professor at the university of wisconsin milwaukee thanks so much for coming on the program today delightful to be here thank you thank you. arwa live from moscow this hour thought see that's ahead on your bush when all big demand to buy spare buying daniel the news you have is what you have us right the soul of the state to

morrow has been twice oversubscribed rubenstein. has time to write. the reason for the financial sector is getting really strong and russia's pacific. is improving so basically we think it's a great time and i think bankers are going to. be the first one of the russian companies that plan to appear to i.p.o.'s in the near future and i think burbank is going to sarah a good standard it could have plays the itself three three to eight percent higher i think it's very reasonable and smart to give investors some room to for appreciation let's check markets because until thirty protests at the weekend in europe are still weighing on the e.u. stock market z. can see the biggest fall in a fortnight for emerging markets as the price of commodities like oil slipped just get the russian figures up there for you both the years and my six slightly down on

the choruses the euro is retreating to the dollar follows a flat session against the greenback yesterday and russia's wrote your ninety percent of north korea's eleven billion dollars that most of which dates back to soviet times in return gets to invest in north korean energy health care and education is also interested in building a gas pipeline to energy hungry south korea for the north over the multi-billion dollar projects unlikely to take off all the north and sells officially still it's wall street futures all down or weak u.s. data will have the opening rates from new york for you next hour we are looking for to daniel thanks very much indeed. for the headlines in just a moment here on r t then it's going to be our spotlight all going off the focus.
