muhammad now at least twelve people have been killed in the afghan capital of kabul . nine of them foreigners when a female suicide bomber blew herself up in protest against the city so certainly a lot of anger and we're also keeping tabs today tuesday on the europe where a french newspaper has reportedly published caricature is of the prophet mohammed and if this indeed is true it will lead to food on from age in european cities run those across the arab world north africa the middle east and this was field as australia and we will likely just to see the anger continue to grow and as you said we'll be monitoring the situation thanks very much indeed for your reporting from tel aviv now across the atlantic there is a one big question occupying hearts and minds why is there so much hatred of the u.s. while the white house believes the movie was the only reason behind the violence
3:05 am
the problems revealed by the anti-american rallies remain unresolved are just going to take our reports. the white house keeps saying it was just the anti islamic video that calls the muslims wrath across the world this is not a case of. protest or wrecked it at the united states writ large or a us policy this is in response to a video that is offensive but that's a claim no one is buying the administration wants us to believe it's not the administration's policies that have generated this behavior it's this one idiotic piece of so-called film which is right out there for two months well it is you know you stupid film that nobody's seen causes people to assassinate ambassadors to storm the embassy and the question the us media keep asking why do so many millions of hate the usa but the answers they're getting are the answers very few in the u.s. want to hear if you were to point to one thing that makes some muslims hate the usa

it would be. hypocrisy over democracy. while america the government now preaches democracy it has propped up authoritarian leaders but that's not the only accusation of hypocrisy that washington is facing there's also u.s. policy makers failure to condemn the violence when it suits their goals like the numerous terrorist attacks in syria washington seems to approve of them as long as they are targeting supporters of the government or another act of violence a rebel mob executing colonel qadhafi the us a police state cheered at the news yes we came we saw our died but that. washington's failure to condemn all violence equally has prompted radicals to take an even more aggressive course if most americans understood what was being done in our name in the stabilizing the middle east and north africa it would be absolutely
3:07 am
horrified what other result can we expect these people to have no hold their economies are destroyed. we're calling for. foreign invaders of course this kind of thing is going to happen when the tragedy in libya happened the international community wholeheartedly condemned the attacks on american diplomats but the us for its part has been quite selective in condemning violence it could be that the white house by supporting revolutions by fostering regime change they were winning hearts and minds in the muslim world but that doesn't appear to be the case for now the obama administration constantly refers to the film as the sole reason behind what's happening a reasoning which basically allows them to avoid addressing the deeper issues in washington i'm going to check on. that on the deeper issues behind the anti-american uprising experts point to washington's decision making about muslim countries which has been in action for decades now and that's a view shared by a british m.p. george galloway that only ever was international terrorists inside afghanistan
3:08 am
because britain and america. in the 1980's to fight the red army on the principle that my enemy's enemy is my friend this is an absolutely futile exercise it was wrong from the start i said at the time it's clear that the insurgency the resistance in afghanistan is winning the war it's everywhere it's setting up courts it's collecting taxes we have a right to be concerned involved. to go back to afghanistan but of course the law in afghanistan anymore there in syria britain and america have sent the next the very people who most of the american ambassador in benghazi well the people that we sent into libya and bombed libya so that they could come to power there so that they could force everybody knows the americans now acknowledge that the al qaeda does inside syria in very significant numbers. and you have full coverage of the global rallies on our website where we've got

highest number of deaths ever recorded in u.k. prisons what stands behind the scrim statistic last year alone seventy one prisoners committed suicide by hanging themselves shockingly that includes the deaths of three miners while in custody all the deaths among prisoners have been attributed to natural causes as well as an ageing prisoner population but critics say many of the so-called natural deaths all entirely preventable just this month the u.k. prison service came under fire for allegedly refusing medical treatment to daniel whole a prisoner with a red degenerative condition from which scrubs the prison behind me the thirty two year old man's complex medical needs. even though the governor of the prison had given assurances that he would be taken care of he ended up on a life support machine and hospital his family are now campaigning to keep him out of prison in order to safeguard his health prison reform groups here in the u.k.

say that the government is focusing on saving money rather than lives also it emerged this summer to have three u.k. prisons suffer from severe overcrowding detainees are held in cramped accommodation in cells that are meant for a much fewer occupants and then adding to the criticism but the country's top prisons inspector a man who's no doubt seen many a harrowing image he said he was kept awake at night by scenes that he had seen in women's jail in london where there were up to seven incidents of self home in one day he said the government should be quote a cost under shamed at the shockingly high levels of self mutilation within women's prisons in the u k. civilian deaths from drone strikes continue in the middle east but the u.k.'s involvement has gone largely unnoticed next hour t speaks with human rights activist carol grayson she's working to hold both washington and london to account for their devastating actions here's

a preview. initially the drone operators from britain were going over and operating out of the us recently they were relocated to a lincolnshire air base the program again is secretive this questions being asked of our government at the moment but we don't know where you know where the drone strikes are going we don't know necessarily who's being killed and it's also some people think it's a positive to have the drone industry here in terms of it will create jobs but it created for jobs creating jobs for sume and destroying the lives of others. the world's leading computer security developers have identified three more cyber viruses modeled on the us warm stuxnet which infected iranian nuclear facilities back in two thousand and ten experts say the programs were directly designed to be used for cyber war or espionage whether it's origins possibly lying in the united
3:18 am
states or does it work is going off has more. but i must say this looks very much like a classics store you've got an awful infiltration of state borders of classified information and more but we're not talking about people what about computer programs like the one which attacked the iranian nuclear program in two thousand and ten and now antivirus developers from russia and the united states have been investigating servers which connect to computers infected by this spyware program very similar to the one which attacked iran back in two thousand and ten and they reveal traces of totally new and still clearly unknown programs which are the same time very active especially the one called me and s.p.d. and they say what's very interesting about it is that unlike traditional spy ware which in fact thousands or even tens of thousands of computers a vis particular program has in fact only a few dozen all in the middle east in countries like iran saudi arabia and
3:19 am
palestine and they say that it's very unlikely that these computers have the most interesting information on them and this software is none other than cyber weapons if you will so these viruses are used not to kill for money as cyber criminals usually do but rather to bill for information pursue some national interests and what makes it very difficult for the specialists to identify these programs is first of all the a very sophisticated and second of all the control servers that we move around and the geography is really impressive i must say since it's europe the middle east and asia they do see they have an idea of which western state on the other side of the atlantic could be behind it but they say until they are one hundred percent sure they won't disclose the name of the country. the latest cyber developments are also covered on our jewish news program which is back on air and only available and our

website what's more at r.t. dot com. thank you. i've. i've what you need just to this if you wish to dish and use me a series of refuse to listen with me rather foster this evening with activity dell to get the facts which affect all of us who put on this internet and i'm going to give a special welcome to all the ladies and agents from the n.s.a. a few of my five glad you're listening in because today is a lot of out statements in which spreading from the streets in swat modems as we speak laws are being tested written in to implement ways of controlling the expanse of the internet to keep us safe we're told but from what. everyone knows you could trust the government now if you've got the dot i gotta worry about. what you are afraid of tiny's fishing boats and several patrol ships are reportedly preparing to swarm waters near the disputed islands that japan now

consider if it's found the falls wave of anger in china triggered by the sale of the territory to japan by a private owner the move cost public outrage with protests and japanese owned businesses across the country some of them turning violent it's already caused huge financial damage while man staff are ready to the first of hills of k. from hong kong singing a rickety thanks chad i was forced to respond with a backlash. it is basically a show that you ought to some. bowl certainly would like to demonstrate on this of the sons. of china there is considerable ngo dinh chinese people with what they see as a kind of. trade a kind of give and wonder of the japanese government to could trace these islands.
3:22 am
both the chinese government and the chinese people. they have to respond in to respond strongly so to me in the straits of kind of rising nationalism in both countries. now take a look at some other stories from around the world at least twenty six people have been killed and dozens injured in an explosion and blaze at a gas plant in northern mexico the adjacent pipeline has been damaged forcing the operating company to hold distribution in the area the cause of the blast is yet to be established but the illegal tapping of pipelines has been the cause of many similar incidents. a wildcat strike by south african miners that claimed the lives of forty five people and that after a workers accepted the twenty two percent pay rise turned deadly a month ago when police shot and killed thirty four people in stride dozens of minors were arrested over the deaths but charges were dropped after an international outcry the country's economy lost at least three hundred million dollars due to the hole in production. british foreign secretary william hague has
3:23 am
admitted that talks with ecuador over the fate of joining us on this is have reached a stalemate this follows a recent d.n.a. test which shed doubt on the rape accusations made against it we can make senator sanders now sheltering in a bit with the word embassy in london and the fear is that if he went to sweden he would face on more of extradition to the u.s. . and right now it's time for the business update we're turning to haiti so clearly the world's third biggest economies now following the global prayer they're making moves to boost it yet the markets roll the light this idea is the bank of japan they've expanded their stimulus program method to prevent a rising gand from undermining an economic recovery in the economy and what was happening was because the yen was getting stronger this was really taking its toll on exports is so with all of this in mind let's check out the markets and see what
3:24 am
is happening and have a look at some numbers because they always tend to speak for themselves as you can see the nikkei that one point two percent up in positive territory none this move by japan is hot on the heels of the u.s. federal reserve's growth boosting measures and as i say it met the young was getting stronger so this move that they've decided upon today is intended to counter around that and as a result the asian stocks are actually heading for their highest close since man i now say with asia if you want to me where your chances of doing so are the highest in asia according to the world wealth report the number of millionaires in the asia pacific has increased by one and a half percent and that's actually overtaking the u.s. but age is riches people want unscathed by the european crisis with the wealthiest losing five point two percent of the us. did i without that my will have
3:25 am
a look at the european markets because they've been open now for about twenty five minutes or so so it is early days but as you can see we've got gains and so far in germany six tenths of a percent a lot is reading in reaction to the japanese decision to act as more cash into the system as i say that's following on from what the fed did with china last week that infrastructure program and to mention the e.c.b. as well. formed by it seems to be a trend that is going on and also if we look at the figures it's holding a two day declines of the european region now so european currency that it is indeed gaming probably not a surprise as we've just seen yet continues and as you can see there one thirty to sixty two for the traders favorite pair want to mention this spain is going to be a topic today because the boring calls are once again around the six percent mox so that's a concern the russian ruble though it's still managing to get a equities to say are we going responding as well to this stimulus that is going on
3:26 am
as a little bit of momentum brady investors as well the risk appetite seems to be once more in force on this was that we've got oil dating to help me also to see what you're going to pay for a barrel to die that's when you go up the prices on the screen i want to mention as well this is a ploy that i could potentially be on the rise of the oil markets they are wasting a supply report some more that will determine whether or not it is necessary to tap into a merger and see the result so we're awaiting that won a war of the top a president vladimir putin the surprise meeting with b.p. . executives life and cheese day the gathering took place in salt shade and it was focused on expanding b.p.'s presence in russia and the some of b.p. says it would start selling fifty percent stake in russian. pay now one month later confirmed it is in talks to buy hall of the company and on the topic we're
3:27 am
talking about right here is gas probably because the rumble with three rushes gas from the european commission it does indeed continue now i'll teach you mention member danko he talked to constantine seaman all from russia's national energy security fund and he says that can be no winners in a conflict where both partners are vital to one another. most broom was formed a month so there is only worm. the truth. and signed serious conflicts with china and other asian consumers is a ready to do that i don't think it is china is ready to do it the question of course is price that is why i said that there will be fools us of course it's a problem for russia it will be impossible to fly and. seem comfortable consumers you chinese not going to put the same amount of money as you can when it comes to china i think china right now is standing on a very comfortable position where it's signed a memorandum of understanding with russia while it's actually doing business with other nations in central asia so russia is not
3:28 am
a big priority for china their main question is what will be the consumption of gas in china for example eighty years later because no better little forecast but the main question are they real not because we see that and sampson obviously chen is drawing very very fast it's actually a different story than you would have so that is why i guess from central asia ellie's you from australia is good good ideas but it will be not enough that is where change is rate the main question is amount and price of course can gas from afford to provide discounts for your. already do it for example this year got sprong will return four billion dollars to european consumers a lot of european companies. they do discounts several times for example if they don't count on any. given give a discount to this company so that is why we see that. promo is already a flexible indiscretions but for european companies often i laugh it's not that
