there's a russia and around the world this is an see with me follow it thanks for joining us from says russian to ensure the safety of its diplomatic missions abroad after a french satirical magazine published cartoons of the naked prophet muhammad perez was shot and this is and schools in some countries to minimize risk but the prime minister has defended media freedom let's not talk to maria for notion of a lot of those good morning to you maria so it's a tough time to be a french minister now isn't it how all day dealing with this situation well you're absolutely right surely it's a very hard time for the hell wald right now and for france especially it's a very sensitive issue all across the war old now when. protests continue following

the american made and. prophet muhammad and it's a very sensitive issue for france especially with almost five million strong muslim population the biggest in western europe and of course we've been hearing and seen lots of things and actions from french authorities and we see how they tried to balance in this difficult situation the try to satisfy all the sides been involved all sides that may be potentially involved in this conflict and this debate i've been hearing from one hand from prime ministers saying that freedom of speech the freedom of expression should be guaranteed in a democratic society and this is one of the french republics fundamental principles but at the same time they've been stressing that it should be done with care respect and responsibility and for french foreign minister has made it clear that

he condemns these behavior. he has question whether it is appropriate and intelligence to fan the flames in the situation this dangerous situation and the answer is no so we've seen. very different comments from french side but we understand that their right now goes through tough times but they say defending the freedom of expression and democratic. rights in this society that if someone feels hurt by this. publication he or she should go to court and here was here where many think people see a tricky thing because they say yes like in a case with the royal family member catherine the duchess of cambridge where it was easy for royal family to go to court or to define. there rights of privacy.

french court has ruled to stop or distributing these photos of pictures contrary say that controversial pictures of topless catherine in the case of muslims all around the globe may feel hurt by this publication it's very hard for them to go to court and to defend their rights and this is why many say bold double standards in this situation. the double standards the. presence of. miss injuries to the rest of the world or once a few years but now. on the other side of the good to be the only strikes and that was the issues of the would be to do so this is a bit of a sort of reaction from the government and friends. shortly after publication the fischel website all for the french satirical magazine has been hacked and this just

proves that some people don't see any. democratic option in this situation in how to react to that to what they think. of their feeling and this is how they react this is their way to react quite violent and of course undemocratic way to react very controversial issues you just mentioned but as you say in the muslim world has already been inflamed by the u.s. made film mocking the prophet mohammed the timing of these cartoons could have hardly been y.s. that absolutely true of course those behind these publications are aware about possible consequences of this behavior and including tragic ones because this is why many have asked the question why they're doing this and while they are continuing to say that they're defending their. right to freely express

themselves and their freedom of speech and expression some accuse them of poor in. some more oil on the fire that is already as big as at least thirty people killed in international tensions all around the globe so this is why again many point that it is necessary and it would be vice to. more carefully in this situation. issues. freedom of expression and the other one is responsibility choosing this caricature. and. it's not reasonable it's not responsible. because he's more of a notion of reporting maria thank you very much for that. meanwhile the anger over

us made so mocking islam has not died down as protests rage across pakistan a group of several hundred lawyers broke into protective district housing foreign diplomatic missions in the capital but police and security guards prevent as the demonstrators from reaching the american embassy thousands also took to the streets of leviton in process called by the sheer movement has some people have been killed across the muslim world in clashes over there so in the past week including the u.i. some boss of the to libya and professor of middle eastern history lawrence state but some believes it's not just that the zio that's using anger with washington. about the. ruler and much all the. anger in the little we. received today is the same. those who are on the march. those attacks the context of those who were.

formed. united states. who are. very general. policies of the united states that. we have not addressed at all or even where. we see it again. and so i had fear this serious stalemate as the u.s. says a military solution is normally on so the u.k. is mulling over sending weapons to syria and rebels to find president assad's forces. gets billions each share. america for defending itself reveals what it is rose spends the money on all this and more shortly here in our

city for you. in georgia the police have been put in charge of all jails after the president ordered the suspension of the country's entire prison staff they says thousands took to the trees in response to the u.s. to the t.v. broadcast of a video showing inmates being tortured and sexually abused by guards. has the details from tbilisi for. these on the biggest posters that are george are seen in years and i'm not talking about all the thousands of people who've taken to the streets of the capital in the field but also many other major towns and cities across the country the public spirit is really a family and this is really not a big country and you think you're really that was so controversial videos show just to watch your isn't it seems it was seen by quite a lot of people and some of them told. their own relatives as those in the

allegedly obscene and old is happening where you give a major public to the campaign held by the authorities promoting the bill we can reform the penitentiary system which go down george and geos are transparent as it gets him made very large there's no cash in these jails to prevent corruption. and so on so the image is being promoted largely in georgia and especially in the west and this is definitely a log close to the image of course and eventually this them says we have to. go over the not in a very easy for vision to the bottom entry elections which is coming and while there is already tension in the air the opposition is being very active in that president's office he said that to deal with the members of the opposition bribes

the deals that workers in order to discredit the authority is yet to be seen whether that's true or not but it is a fact that the public now compares videos with those from guantanamo but there's a big interesting thing is that was one done and was a burden for the syrian people on these videos are just ordinary enemy not connected in any way with suspicion or. norf is following the story for us in tbilisi and you can follow the latest developments on his twitter feed and eric draitser political analyst full stop imperatives in dog home believes the roots of the problem can be found within the regime itself. we've seen over the course of a number of years the saakashvili government has demonstrated that they have little to no regard for human rights we only need to look at the conflict in south the

city and in a positive to see what the saakashvili administration actually is interested in they're not interested in human rights they're interested in aggression and most importantly they're interested in shoring up their relationship with the united states darkish really is without a doubt one of the most egregious violators of human rights and human dignity anywhere in the world and i stress that once again that saakashvili cannot exist without the united states we remember his close close relationship with the bush administration so after she leaves desires to put nato into that to put georgia into the nato sphere of influence into nato is for a bit and so yes there is absolutely a trend and this is precisely why the united states is able to continue to support saakashvili in the same way that they've supported brutal dictators all over the world for the last few decades. in bahrain hundreds of shamrocks have as have taken to the streets to demand they are given equal rights my the sunni

looking as well as remnants of the political prison and the government has been violently coming down on protests putting past eighteen months with accusations of brutality by the regime or about a kingdom has pledged to improve its treatment of political hit send try to prevent violence against ethnic and religious communities that's out of the u.n. from why it's council criticised bahrain a shit answer coming to actions but western leaders have effectively close their eyes on what's happening in the country with other concerns in the region as laura smith reports. but i think by all sort of final light for the whole world on the milieu of this conflict only oppression and brutality of the regime one. takes that will be a reckoning for this dreadful regime. about syria. and they put their money where their mouth is giving five million pounds in so-called non-lethal aid to those trying to oust president assad but less than

a thousand miles away in bahrain there's another human rights crisis ongoing and all that leaders remain conspicuously silent their g.m. has not spared any means of repression torture has not seized at all and that includes the millions of people who were just released in the last day or two. says have not stopped. of course the use of sectarianism. is there. more than that is the kidnapping he would not if you people from three or four beat them up tortured them not inside the torture chambers but in farms in what they call the whose houses bahrain is home to a forgotten revolution ignored by the international community under reported in the media since february last year there have been almost daily anti-government

protests in the resulting crackdown around a hundred have been killed with sixteen hundred in jail including sixty children and full of bahrain's most prominent human rights activists all that in a country of only one and a half million but the u.k. government says nothing longstanding historical connection between britain bahrain which was in fact holland in seventy one certainly the association with the u.s. fifth fleet is the oil problem and that's the banking problem along this is harmful to our interests because sooner or later all the gulf markets are going to disappear in a puff of smoke and then the regimes that succeed them will not be friends. country which is. far from being condemned representatives of the bahraini regime have been a common sight at the u.k.'s major events this summer king hamad was invited to the

queen's diamond jubilee celebrations in may he is eldest son visited david cameron at downing street and his youngest son who allegedly sanctioned the torture of dissident bahraini athletes was at the opening of london's olympic games but it goes further and deeper than that despite the brutal crackdown between july and september last year the u.k. sold two point two million pounds worth of arms to the bahraini regime shortly after that the u.k.'s most famous military training school accepted a three million pound donation from the king of bahrain and the metropolitan police's former assistant commissioner was appointed as an advisor on security to the regime with no objections from the u.k. government bahrain campaigners say it's ruining the government's credibility it's only when they stand up in public and say we host this torture

we oppose these autocratic regimes and we democratize only then will the british government have any credibility whatsoever and at this moment has. the bahraini opposition and their supporters aren't calling for intervention but they do want the international community to condemn the regime that they say is at least as oppressive as the syrian regime that western powers are so desperate to get rid of. r.t. london. and are also closely following developments on that story it. is a quick look at also go there for you right now. alarming research ransford a diet of genetically not. if i had corn produced by u.s. chemical giant monsanto stuff that you is and other kinds of symptoms. in line of got more details and reaction to the discovery of when you discovered

fourth century paris where challengers of one of the cornerstones of christian religion that jesus was celibate the true story on point. while having fighting between government and opposition forces rages on those the un chief said as a military solution is not the way out of the conflicts there syrian rebels have seized another border crossing into turkey which could have been a new army supply route the u.k. foreign secretary william hague also said it's possible with and it was found sound rather weapons stop position fighters meanwhile israel has staged a surprise live fire war games at the border with syria although saying. routine drills israel's concerned that some of syria's chemical weapons could be located to lebanon base to hezbollah and. the prover forward service says some states are looking to benefit from serious crisis in. 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 fear advantage and we all know the countries in the un have certain economical problems and they would want probably a more favorable government in damascus and seal off the middle east as an economic region in probably hear what they see is a lot of rivalry that is heating up with the brics countries for example but actually all this has led only to the destruction of bloodshed and so on and so forth president has been less popular it would have been ousted long time ago. american taxpayers contribute more to the israeli defense budget than israelis themselves that's according to the head of the israeli defense force washington spends more than three billion dollars they get to prop up the country's military well don't know any other nation and stephen seems a professor of international relations at the university of san francisco says the

money isn't being spent just on defense lots of the money is geared towards the occupation and not not to mention the fact that he urged all the arab states agreed to make peace with israel with security guarantees and everything else in return for an israeli raid to draw from the occupied territory so not only is a lot of the money for the military going into the occupation itself but were not for the occupation they would need nearly as much. military spending as. they claim they do today but what's also interesting is if you look at u.s. policy in this is both republican policy and democratic policy is that. they say we shouldn't just give israel the necessary military equipment and military assistance force necessary defense and to have at least a strategic balance or deterrent role to any combination and of interviews but to

have a qualitative military superiority in other words what we're looking for is not of the offense israel but for israel as a regional hedge amman as a as a as a dominant. force in the region. and while israel is ramping up belligerent rhetoric against iran over the country's nuclear research to iran is preparing for more international talks on the diplomatic option is the best way forward says one man who used to be in charge of israeli missile defense. if you do the national community. with the worst of the worst of the international community would. he do a should we give on where you could be clear would it. be able. to. be true because even if the iranians want to admit it but it's a reclusive ration that there is some kind of red line beyond which. way.

this is maybe the third way. and you can catch the full interview with easy rubin in just over ten minutes time here on c m o or the world's main news this hour an israeli airstrike targeting a car has killed three put stimulus and the gaza town of rough on the egyptian border listing officials say of the victims or security officials responsible for building tunnels to import goods from egypt but israel claims the men were terrorists planning attacks on history tree. striking south african miners at anglo american platinum have filled by overnight clashes this police dispersed crowds of protesters using rubber bullets and tear gas meanwhile striking writers at the longman platinum mine are returning to their jobs after winning pay rises of up to twenty two percent but the wage hike has led

to calls for policy among mind is elsewhere rather for minors elsewhere and raised fears of fires on rust and let's say the political and economic fallout that had the reelection campaign of president jacob zuma. time now for business with k.c. good morning k.c. so are you sure was the reason for the gays in the global markets on wednesday but it looks like today it's quite a different story exactly that you really is what a difference a day makes because right now we've got the asian stock market is there actually we're treating from their highest lows and that's because there's been a report showing that japan's exports fell for a. mild mass adding to concerns that the global lexy growth is that should be slowing also got china's manufacturing activity contract ing in september the eleventh straight month that's according to a glimmer report by hate just b.c.

and away with check out the wall street moderate guy that was supported by the strength in the housing sector but the energy stocks dragged on the market and all futures fell sharply just before the release of an official report on the weekly all in venture is and they stayed down after it showed that a large expected supply increase is expected which meant that energy shares were the worst performers in the session brings us on to oil that they are indeed the price is trading at the lowest level in more than six way to solve the stockpiles rose the most since march in the u.s. and of course the u.s. is the world's biggest crude consumers that's what has such an effect and added to that as well we had saudi arabia or ministers saying earlier this month that prices were too high i made fears that expensive energy would undermine attempts to boost

the global economic crisis now speculation in the country will increase supply as get on to russia them because the markets closed before the report came out but they did end up in negative territory down around two percent for the r.t.s. so great news for consumers you know struggling at the pump but. not so great for energy dependent of rush of course. that brings us onto the egg which is then we'll get out and see what the russian ruble did because it did indeed finish lower against the basket of currencies we're happy everything goes with both the actors and the car is in less than two hours time now we've got a common currency as well that is declining as you can see ben bernanke you stimulus plan has kept the dollar broadly and some fundamentals believe the dollar may ultimately falter. as the easing takes effect so that is indeed the markets. and i'll be with you in another fifty five minutes or so please do

katie thank you very much indeed for that update and in a few minutes we'll be looking at the war words between israel and iran in today's interview sound to an update on today's headlines.
