2:02 pm
the world here's archies posterior. tens of thousands of protesters have taken to the southern lebanese city of tire this is in line with a call that went out earlier by the hizbollah leader hassan nasrallah where he called for his supporters to show their anger inmates in a shouts and in their faces he says that this form is the worst attack ever on islam and also for the demonstration is peaceful if one is a demonstration on monday in which more than a hundred thousand hizbollah supporters took to the southern suburbs of beirut now and that's one that has called for staggered protests throughout this week we understand that the next protests will be on a friday in the east and lebanese city of baalbeck but at the same time we are hearing reports of an american food chain kate if seen that for the second time has been attacked in lebanon now this comes on wednesday as clashes erupted here between palestinian protesters and israeli security forces at least twenty people
2:03 pm
were injured when the clashes erupted near a border crossing in east jerusalem the protesters threw firebombs as well as stones at the security forces they responded with tear gas and rubber bullets we're also seeing again protests in the pakistani city of karachi hero hundreds of protesters have stormed a barricade around the u.s. consulate building we're seeing the same kind of banners the same kind of anti american rhetoric most of it focusing on calls for the american ambassador to pakistan to be expelled now hundreds of protesters also took to the indonesian city of medan here they are calling for the united states to be punished for allowing such a movie to be made. also on wednesday there's a lot of attention focused on paris where a weekly newspaper by the name of charlie hebdo has published a crude caricature of prophet mohammed we understand that some of them are showing him naked now this has sparked
2:04 pm
a fierce debate over the whole issue of freedom of speech with the french foreign minister saying that they will be consequences with god in this publication and he has condemned these caricature as being published in the first place but we are hearing from the french prime minister that the freedom of speech is something that is protected although something that needs to be used responsibly nonetheless muslims that in this country have been organizing themselves for protest so far that protest has been banned but it is likely to go ahead we know also that they believe this is a cult kool-aid to move and that it has nothing to do with freedom of speech french police a position themselves outside the headquarters of this magazine it's a magazine that was firebombed last year when it published an edition that mocked radical islam at the same time at least twenty french embassies are on lockdown around the world for fear that there will be reprisals and revenge attacks. the justification for posting more inflammatory material so far has been that there are
2:05 pm
no limitations to freedom of speech but journalist and writer barren land says it's money that's really motivating the paper. their motives are mixed i'm sure publicity has had something to do with it but we definitely their circulation is going up every time they've done it and so there's. a lot of money by doing it but as far as the question of no limits on freedom of speech i've been looking at the law lives across here and in fact there are limits to one freedom of speech and those limits you hear regularly in many countries perfumes in germany in the netherlands with any kind of publication more communication in which a soul human dignity of others are insulting to maliciously maligning or defaming segments of the population in germany when you're going to assure them three months to five years or publishing going to such a thing also what we know that denying the holocaust is
2:06 pm
a crime in most european countries not in the united kingdom but certainly in france and germany and i would argue that a rollercoaster nearly is very similar to attacking one's religion and in the case of judaism so in fact there are limits on. what the muslim world gripped by ray this one big question question that's being asked across america just what or who are the protests aimed at while some are adamant it's all about the movie others. can reports at no such illusions. 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 it 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
2:07 pm
piece of so-called film which is about out there for two months well it is stupid film. 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 dollars almost hate the usa but the answers they're getting are the answers very few in the us 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
2:08 pm
a rebel mob executing colonel qadhafi the u.s. secretary of state cheered at the news yes 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 if most americans understood what was being done in our name in the stabilizing the middle east and north africa it would be absolutely horrified what other result can we expect these people they have no hope their economies are destroyed. they'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 u.s. 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 film as the sole reason
2:09 pm
behind what's happening a reasoning which basically allows them to a. would addressing the deeper issues in washington i'm going to check and. the legislators from washington to indonesia have called for an end to global protests saying they only inside more islamophobia but jack g. shockey an author of the real bad arabs documentaries says there isn't side meant in the muslim world to. hear swarm of older. exists in wall kills like in the middle east there are some who are not and so i think there's a lot of water that needs to go on both. of them through syria one more i think with this it's those regions that you see. spark the question why they hate us it's all there so like it would free. and love with all. that flow
2:10 pm
test against them that quote this is really what it's what we're all do that we all see the fruits wrong with the invasion of iraq the very wealthy and off on this all the arabs it's really helps to be an issue and so it's the who are in the thick wall you know if you believe. america it's the suits it was the us war for real value to all the suits in the region. video pictures and the full spectrum of opinion on the global islamic protests all at r.t. dot com there you can also find out more about the aggressive steps hillary clinton has promised to protect u.s. embassies abroad all that at r.t. dot com.
2:11 pm
to syria now where two bands have reportedly exploded near a school and to mask a suburb causing heavy casualties that's after the u.k.'s foreign secretary said it's quite possible london will start to send arms to rebel militias amar cafe manber of the syrian social club thinks it's the civilian population that will pay . every single state has saw in the syrian conflict a sort of opportunity to go in and try to influence the outcome so that it would be to their fair advantage and we all know that that certain countries in the u.n. have certain economical problems and they would want probably a more favorable government in damascus and seal off the middle east as an economic
2:12 pm
region in probably what they see as a lot of rivalry that is heating up with the brics countries for example but actually all this has led only to the destruction bloodshed and so on and so forth president assad being less popular he would have been ousted long time ago as scandalous flaring up between moscow and washington after russia's decision to end the work of the u.s. agency for international development in the country says the decision was prompted by u.s. aid attempts to influence the political process inside russia parties or in english to has the details. yes it is going to zation which is being sponsored directly by the u.s. state department and it is to its primary goal is to promote u.s. interests abroad now in russia has been operating for the last twenty years to it is known that the organization has directed two point six billion dollars towards its operation in russia has been financing various n.g.o.s for example one of them
2:13 pm
is a goalless who filed. a who have said already that they will have to seize up nations in the country they have been receiving at least three million dollars annually probably these problems that you would say i see now a zero zero it is important to know if that's just in all goes to the russian parliament has passed a law this so-called foreign agents law which specifically says that organizations which are participating actively investors internal politics but are being financed from abroad have to be thoroughly investigated laws similar to this one also exist in the united states and in europe so really a lot of the observers said that it's no surprise that such a law has been filed in russia and likewise in this particular circumstance of course you also have a because you have human rights activists in the in russia for saying that this will provide an enormous blow to the world when right situation in the country where is also there are people for saying that this particular development is
2:14 pm
actually beneficial to the country. to be distributed the russian government is doing what it's meant to do according to the constitution namely protecting the country's interest and sovereignty it may become another stumbling block in relations with the u.s. but washington only respects strong partners. or others like it will make the americans be more attention to russian interests on the. it's important to know that the minister of foreign affairs have said that they're ready and willing to work with the usa i see it it definitely is here in capacity that is to provide aid to third countries in all matters to military and as long as the agency respects russian law and does not meddle in russia is the threat of politics. more still in store for you this hour including deadlock over songe. trials between britain and ecuador remain locked over the whistleblowers a solemn bit critical sexual assault evidence is discredited by expert analysis.
