pm in the russian capital you're watching r t with me now at least twenty palestinian protesters have been injured in east jerusalem during one of the latest anti-american demonstrations a u.s. made film ridiculing as long continues to cause turbulence across the globe dozens have been killed in the week long on dressed as al qaida is calling for more attacks on u.s. diplomats. hundreds of palestinian protesters have clashed with israeli police at a border crossing in east jerusalem at least twenty people were injured when the protesters threw stones and fire bombs at the security forces who responded with tear gas and rubber bullets now this follows nearly

a week of protest here in the west bank and gaza over this film entitled innocence of muslims we've seen protests and demonstrations in the west bank city of ramallah as well as in gaza where both the israeli and the american flags have been burned with people chanting death to israel and death to the united states the palestinian . as he is calling for the united states to apologize over this film and we're hearing the same kind of course come from the hamas prime minister ismail haniya he says that the film must be removed and that washington needs to apologize to the arab and islamic world for the offense that it caused demonstrations continue for the third consecutive day in the pakistani city of karachi here hundreds of protesters continue to march they are holding up banners they continue to keep saying slogans calling for the american ambassador to pakistan and add their countries in the region to be expelled immediately we are also seeing hundreds of protesters taking to the streets like you study city of peshawar here the police

fired tear gas rubber bullets and also used battens to disperse the crowd as they came close to the american embassy we're keeping an eye only been on the way we've seen the greatest number of protesters take to the streets so far in this week long show of protest and demonstrations yesterday monday at least one hundred thousand protesters turned out in the southern suburbs of beirut off took away. his ability to house on this rather for people to show their rage over this form that mocks the prophet mohammed and we're also keeping tabs today on europe where a french newspaper has reportedly published caricature is of the prophet mohammed and if this indeed is true it will need to throw that off with age and european cities as well as across the arab world north africa middle east and this was field as australia and we will likely just to see the continue to grow. falsely reporting there now across the atlantic there is 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 the problems revealed by the american rallies remain on results are just going to count reports. the white house keeps saying it was just the anti islamic video that caused the most. rath across the world this is not a case of. protests to rectify 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 it ministration 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 what out there for two months well it's you know you think it's stupid film that nobody's seen causes people to assassinate ambassadors and 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 gadhafi the us a police state cheered at the news as we came we saw that he died but that. washington's failure to condemn all violence equally has prompted radicals to take an even more aggressive course most americans understood what was being done in our

name in the stabilizing the middle east and north africa they will be absolutely horrified what other result to me expect these people to have no hope their economies are destroyed they see their calling for foreign invaders of course this kind of thing is going to happen when the tragedy. behappen 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 thought 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 same type islamic 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. and among the deeper issues behind anti-american uprising experts point to washington's decision making about muslim countries which has been an action for decades now and that's a view shared by british m.p.

george galloway. their only ever was international terrorists inside afghanistan because britain and america sent them there 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 so 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 the troops are coming home in boxes the war will end on exactly the terms that it could have ended last year ten years ago we have a right to be concerned about where to go back to afghanistan but of course the law in afghanistan anymore there in syria britain and america have said 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 they could

arm us there are forces there and everybody knows the americans now acknowledge that the al-qaeda is inside syria in very significant numbers i think myself that it's a good thing when america realized that they cannot go around the world invading and occupying other people's countries whenever they feel like it that's the empire strikes back. now you have full coverage of the global rallies on our website where we've got a timeline of the events plus you can also find out about how you tube could be in for a total ban in russia along with other countries where the web site is already inaccessible all that much more at the dot com.

now the french president's plans to pose a seventy five percent tax rate on the rich are forcing the country's highest earners out of the country as francois hollande is struggling to fill a massive gap in the budget the tax strategy threatens to backfire with france losing an entrepreneurial class bass stable to revive its economy reports. when the world's fourth richest men a frenchman bernard i know asked for belgian citizenship some of his compatriots took offense with one left wing french newspaper publishing this image with this headline the mayor of this area the brussels capital region is confirm that there has indeed establish residence here but the french tycoon denies his move had anything to do with french president francois laws one to impose a seventy five percent income tax on those earning above one million but many suspect otherwise and the rich have become the subject of much discussion. they are

quite responsible for this crisis and they should pay more than the rest since they have more. people. for the crisis. so. it depends on the rich bankers who contributed to the crisis should pay as well. along to set to soak the rich even more as he struggles to raise the money to fill a thirty billion euro hole in the country's finances to tactical use to our own doings of people should make sure no against president sarkozy west who says that's because he was a christian it's so much the friends of yours the income tax rates are going up but on top of that. and then on top of that you have a state tax. and on top top top of the seventy four percent tax that's where really thinking about moving outside friends started with the move did go

down well with everyone including some french taxpayers who fear having to foot the bill if the tax the rich strategy fails their fears are well founded as businesspeople consider losing three quarters of their income across there simply unable to bear like thirty year old entrepreneurship would need to fit he hasn't made the jump just yet here and he says he may find himself with no choice is clearly that the course. it that's that's that's found. that's found a haven in france. which which basically promotes stigmatize a sheen of success wealth and so on and france is definitely worth its taxes to a certain extent but if the don't work in my head anymore if i'm certain you're create more value than for others then that i do for myself with the implementation of the seven percent and so clearly i will relocate as an individual and

become a tax it is an a for another country like belgium for example but belgians of already taken to the streets to protest against what they call a lack of morality of the rich who come to their country to avoid a certain taxes in france's case this super tax may affect as little as three thousand people out of sixty six million and if that elite minority continues heading for the door the deficit hole will only grow and along it may be forced to embrace the one policy he would ject it throughout his election campaign a stereotype. that tests are still here r t brussels. and staying with friends of the hands to salvage its economy a french parliament is set to discuss the ratification of the european fiscal pact which is seen as a key measure in combat and europe's burgeoning debt crisis well for some insight on the issue now we're joined by a political and economic analyst alex korb alex thanks very much for being here

with us in the program first off how democratic in your opinion is the idea that brussels will monitor the budgets of member nations and punish those who don't stick to the rules. you know in this e.u. fiscal pact there is the close that particular country is in the middle of exceptional situation it can simply ignore the fiscal pact all together so are you really are you really thinking that math clearly is going to bring along into court in front of the european court of justice of course not and all along that we live simply said that the countries in the middle of an exceptional situation and just ignore the all go back to it well it's interesting to see how it panned out because i mean if we take grace into account as we see there is more and more flexibility being shown towards the struggling contrary which as we can see as well as failing

to cut its budget yet its creditors keep giving the country more time now how athens be able to follow the stringent rules that would be in place or will these rules be different from greece. you know let's let's take a step back the average french worker is sixty five percent ok the public that is that eighty seven percent of the g.d.p. the state can control fifty seven percent of the economy and you have political parties in france especially the greens especially the extreme left center left center right extreme right there only solution is tax more spend more control more the economy this is madness we are not going to go out of these crazies by doing the same thing that we have done for two years. well that as you can see on the other hand i mean seventy five percent tax is a huge ron imposed on the richest in france so is there

a chance that this may actually backfire on a lawn because most of the country's entrepreneurs in fact those who could boost the economy will be leaving the country. of course you know if you don't put in the incentive to create a world what the wealth is going to do they're going to leave they're going to stop working they're going to you know in france we are in a situation where the country is broke the country has no innovation the country is no dynamism anymore and the solution of this government is the same as the solution of the sarkozy government of the show a government of these respond go go and spend more tax more create more dipped. well as we saw earlier the euro zone public increasingly falling out of love with a monetary union and of course the stereo measures are not popular with the people there in the belt tightening measures as well so how do you think this will. be

received by by people on the streets i mean are we likely to see more discontent. you know it's it's the same thing with germany german like the german to be typical footer is going more and more euro skeptic and more and more you know you're a scary bit skeptical on on on the actions of the government and with the. e.u. fiscal pact and with the police here of the e.c.b. the typical german voter cannot give ease opinion in the battered books. anymore because you know you just see no the reason the election there is no we don't ask for for for for their opinion what is going to happen the you know the police you have the e.c.b. is that we are going to to fire the big bazooka and print more money in order to to buy more time for bankrupt countries to.

to deliver some structural reforms guess what they are never going to deliver the structural reforms price easily because they will have more time and in the end the fault of my own. of my you dragged to. like sacrifice didn't democracy in order to save the euro is just going to sacrifice and democracy in the end. i always go about thanks very much indeed for your insight on the european thank you packed. your tonight you live from moscow still had for you in the program china's anger grows over japan's purchase of disputed islands as a chinese fishing boat tail and quoting several patrol vessels reportedly set sail towards the territories in question. and cyber revelations the world's leading anti-virus developer stumble on an arsenal of super viruses eerily similar to the

stuxnet worm. the world's leading computer security developers have identified three more cyber. a virus is modeled on the u.s. worm stuxnet which infected iranian nuclear facilities back in two thousand and ten experts say the programs were directly designed to be used for a cyber war or espionage with its origins possibly lying in the united states is going up has more. but i must say this looks very much like a classics store you've got unlawful 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 named speed and they say what's very interesting about it is that unlike traditional y. where which infects the 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 palestine and they say that it's very likely that these computers have the most interesting information on them and this software is none other than cyber weapons if you will so you know these viruses are used not to pilfer money as cyber criminals usually do but rather to bill for information some national interests really don't what makes it very difficult for the specialists to identify these programs is first of all they're 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 we 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. your reporting there now the latest developments are also covered on our jewish news program which is back on air and only available at our website which more actually . afraid of chinese fishing boat and several patrol ships are reportedly preparing to swarm waters near the disputed islands that japan now considers its sound as follows a wave of anger in china triggered by the sale of the territory to japan by a private owner the move caused public outrage with protest at japanese island businesses across the country some of them turning violent that's already caused huge financial damage while nattie staff are waiting to hear professor joseph kang

from hong kong city university thinks china was forced to respond with a backlash. it is basically the go pro job to the bowls so to me would like to demonstrate all of this of this and the long to china there is considerable anger out of the chinese people with what they see as a kind of dirty trade a kind of cold bucket because it's under what the japanese government too could squeeze these islands from the owner of the chinese government and it's time these people believe they have to respond and to respond strongly certainly in the threats of kind of rising nationalisms in both countries. now similar to 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 be jason's 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 has ended after workers accepted a twenty two percent pay rise the walkout turned deadly a month ago when police shot and killed thirty four people in the strike 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 hold in production. and british foreign secretary william hague has admitted that talks with ecuador over the fate of join a sounders asylum bid have reached a stalemate this follows a recent d.n.a. test which showed doubt on the rape accusations made against the we can accept it or sanders now sheltering in victorian embassy in london he fears that if you went

to sweden he would face on board extradition to the u.s. . switching out of the world of business over to katy and japan has now joined the stimulus army what's that all about yes that's right marina in the fight against the global slowdown of all the banks and taking measures to boost the economy and japan is the laces one to join in the bank of japan today they have expanded the stimulus that says all demonstrated their gratitude towards. really expressing the this was what they were waiting for this is what they wanted and they all three much pleased that japan the third biggest economy in the world is indeed going to do something to counteract the fact that the yen that was actually increasing and that was really hurting exporters also growth in the second quarter was actually haul of what was expected as well so

there was certainly a lot of reasons to do so lots of justification so with that in mind that see the markets now it would be our last look at the age of august because they are done for the day and then make a finished up one point two percent in positive territory today so as i say the real concern was the fact that the yen it was growing in strength and that was putting pressure on exporters that are very much exposed to europe and the u.s. as a wells has helped take some piece of. the response is being seen across the globe as well with check out the other markets to buy us want to mention the fact that if you do and i meet a millionaire let's face it who doesn't then your chances of doing so are both of the highest in asia now according to the world world report the number of millionaires in the asia pacific region has increased by one and a half percent that's what she overtaking the us now but asia's richest people

wonder. why the european crisis with the world he is losing five point two percent of their food was there we are so this talk about your of them will head into the market is that they're now in the second hour of trade and they're still managing to stay up in positive territory we've got stocks gaining really tracking the gains that we just saw in asia after the japanese announcement to use that asset purchase in program and hold to today decline in europe out today so with that in mind we see the europe we. currency and see how always sentiments are feeding into it just now we can see it's responding one of thirty to sixty two so it is climbing indeed the russian ruble is also managing to gain against a basket of currencies that has a risk appetite is restored because essentially there's more money in the system this is the russian existential when see what's happening here because it's a little topsy turvy because we've now entered the red territory as you can see

just where we've duped into negative territory not by much though it's pretty flat to negative just now so there was an upbeat momentum because of the international mood but that's actually a lost some traction in the last twenty minutes or so ready and that's despite the fact that oil prices are continuing to rise now the only justification i can think of is that there are supply concerns going forward and that's because there is a report due to come out tomorrow that will determine whether or not it is necessary to tap into emergency reserve waiting to hear on that one and president vladimir putin he held a surprise meeting with b.p. executives late on tuesday another gathering took place in sochi it was focused on expanding that presence in russia and in the summer before he said it was start selling its fifty percent stake in his russian oil venture. one month later.

it was in talks to buy of of the come away another story we're following is gas ball because the rumble continues to rumble on and it's pretty russia's gas problem on the european commission. to constantine see one off from russia's national energy security funds and he says there could be no winners in a conflict where both partners are vital to one another. room was for in the months or there is only worm. commission to change our energy policy and science 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 us it will be impossible to fly in the same comfortable consumer as you chinese not going to pay 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 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 or not because we see that and sampson will be a cinch in that he's drawing very very fast steps of a different story than you would have so that is why the gas from central asia elegy from australia is good good ideas but it will be not enough that is where china is ready to buy our goods the question is a mom and price of course can gas from afford to provide discounts for your. already do it for example this yeah wrong 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. room is already flexible in this questions but for european companies not enough is not that more more more more so it's a question of greed. mol mol mol murray and of us what it's all about i'll be back in about fifty five minutes with all our right and we are graded from our as you know thanks very much for their k.d. and see you next hour and i'll be back with our recap of our top stories very shortly stay with us. thank you.
