6:02 am
know what was going on but according to the guards that this is not the case at all . saakashvili was fully aware of what was going on when a fire was appointed minister in two thousand and five the system was very far from european standards he started taking very tough steps he would send security forces to prisons they would break into prisons and beat up inmate even if colline himself would often be there with a camera filming it and then i think he would show those videos to saakashvili in order to show him what kind of system he had built was going to be because he is now in belgium is asked for political asylum and he claims that georgian authorities are still looking for him while he says that for anyone who wants to war and the security services be police or the jail system in georgia then no criticism of president saakashvili is allowed of the media they
6:03 am
just did it for entertainment or if an inmate had something to do with politics it was saakashvili as enemy they would pick this it in is extremely politicized if you work in the prison system or in the police you must be loyal to the circus we receive no criticism is allowed you should either leave or they will get to you they enjoyed watching how helpless people were in their hands once they take you to prison you know but you have no dignity this is why these videos cost such an outreach in georgia and this is why all those young people are protesting because also says that president saakashvili is purely an american project and washington will do everything for him to remain in power here in georgia and well get the crowd himself says that he decided to show this footage to the world for everyone to see how the georgian leader really treats his citizens.
6:04 am
transparency human rights zero tolerance. the videos that buried george's image making efforts in a matter of minutes scenes of torture beatings and the sexual abuse of inmates allegedly in one of the country's most exemplary prisons. but human dignity is the last thing they care about and never believe this worries them just one bit. thousands protested with signs reading the reply apparently addressing georgian authorities some are comparing the footage to that from guantanamo even though these are ordinary inmates not terrorist suspects many not only want the sacking of officials responsible for the police and the prison system but the prosecution as well. everybody knows this isn't just one case this happens all over the country. the atmosphere at the entrance to be going to any prison is extremely intense but
6:05 am
this is not a protest rally these people are relatives of inmates who are still inside the prison and they are demanding an explanation that needs brother has already spent seven months behind bars and says georgia's democracy beacon image in that the worst is merely a well orchestrated cover up. the chill real pretty on the outside sure it is a for europe but no one really knows what's happening behind these walls. president saakashvili came out blaming as a stepping fault several prison officials are now under a criminal investigation and all jail stuff has been temporarily substituted with police officers the head of the ministry responsible for the penitentiary system as a result but for many georgians it's too little too late in a country with a population half the size of paris twenty five thousand inmates is enough to affect nearly every family in one way or another either through relatives friends

or neighbors and as the nation prepares to vote for a new problem until october the damage to georgia's leaders may be too much for their reputation to be rescued in time he would discover of r t v v c ga you can see the interview with the former deputy warden at georgia's prison and twenty minutes right here on r.t. . now local t.v. reporter says his driver has been killed twenty five police fire to disperse crowds as fresh protests are wrapped in pakistan demonstrators have set cinemas on fire and the northwestern city of peshawar angry over the u.s. made anti islam film fifteen other people have also been injured in the clashes
6:07 am
earlier thousands clashed with police in pakistan security forces fire tear gas and warning shots to push crowds back from the american embassy some fifty people have been injured pakistani t.v. channels are showing clips of president obama denouncing the film which it's hoped will come the protestors but as archie's got next to cannes reports many believe washington's efforts in the region seem counterproductive. as anti-american fury rages on across the world it also raises the question whether washington's efforts to export democracy to muslim nations have instead radicalize the region in libya radical islamists are on the rise especially in the part of the country which the u.s. hoped to quote unquote liberate in the first place a source familiar with ambassador stevens' thinking says that in the months before his death he talked about being worried about what he called the never ending
6:08 am
security threats specifically in benghazi the source telling us that the ambassador's specifically mentioned the rise in islamic extremism with the country's internal situation getting increasingly unstable libya now appears to be as far as it can get from the route that washington invision for the libyans when they do when bombing the country our goal is focused our cause is just. and our coalition is strong having also cheered on the revolution in egypt the obama administration is now unclear whether they ended up with a more friendly or more hostile country though i don't think that we would consider them an ally but we don't consider them an enemy but looking at their flags burning and mobs chanting death to america many americans ask themselves doesn't the widespread on rast in the muslim world mean the president's policy is there are flawed or maybe dangerously naive i don't think it's requires a degree in the tomic physics to grasp the reality that in the slum equaled
6:09 am
democratization means islam is a show i believe that the u.s. state department and the policymaking community in washington were blinded by their own ideological blinkers in afghanistan washington's efforts to make friends also seem to have failed afghan police and soldiers have killed more than fifty u.s. and coalition troops this year alone and many of the attackers have been trained and armed by the u.s. their basic loyalty is to their families you're not going to upset and change two thousand years coachable matter you can influence of but you cannot change so this is where we have to be smarter about how we proceed doing the same thing over and over about get a better result washington is actively backing armed rebel groups in syria again with no guarantee that those who they helped now will not turn into their number one enemies eventually just like al-qaeda did it may be that the us sees its

mission as one way hostile into being where they can but the strategy has been shown to backfire time and time again with the us ending up supporting forces who then turned their arms against america in washington i'm going to second. we're also closely following the unrest in the muslim world r.t. dot com and we've more on the provocative western portrayal of the middle east on our web site. anti palestinian operatives accused of the inciting hatred will go up across the new york subway as u.s. authorities say the billboards are justified on the basis of free speech. also online and an address in the anti islam film that sparked the mideast protests files a lawsuit against its producer as well as google and you tube that she fears for the safety of her family more details that are called. myname are as prominent dissident and nobel laureate aung sun suu kyi has become the latest star

6:16 am
welcome back you're watching r t with me. now when politicians say sorry it usually means they're trying to wriggle their way out of a sticky situation well that's exactly what the u.k. his deputy prime minister was attempting to do but he landed himself in an even bigger one his apology was viral as an auto tune remakes. released as a single nick clegg was apologize. for breaking a pre-election promise not to increase tuition fees but his party back to the tripling of fees to nine thousand pounds and made it he should have never made the pledge to begin with the speech was shown ahead of the liberal democrats convention nick clegg's popularity has flatlined recently and political blogger george eaton believes his own party will likely get rid of him but two different lines on this
6:17 am
in clegg and his apology suggest that the party of made the pledge in the past but because there's no money around would have been too expensive to buy now what song that's saying is we would have kept the pledge but it was part of them could submit them government but it kept us are actually the lib dems haven't got one single message and i think until they until they do then it will be hard for the latest take. seriously clegg's bets at the moment is that his best hope of turning his party's fortunes around is to show that they can achieve things for the country and government rather than spend time arguing with the conservatives trying to differentiate themselves it remains to be seen by the out while i think that clegg is probably finished and that's the party will replace him for the next election so why do disastrous. musical apologies aren't the only concern for the u.k.'s coalition at the moment as cuts are piled on to the british public was laid off

who's the expansion progress has recently been stalled and also by the fact that its russian partners have been preventing it from signing any other agreements with other companies including rosneft and this would give it very strong ties with the company providing it with the second most important mistake of the government in a row snapped now also that was the keynote address by russia's prime minister dmitry medvedev who has been complaining that the recent poll on the competitiveness on the global scale puts russian sixty seventh place and something else to be done about that notably russia has to fight corruption russia has to increase the effectiveness of state institutes and to boost competition on the goods and services market but that's already happening as russia has joined the world trade organization and finally has said that investment is method and is still playing a key role for russia's economy and needs to be boosted from the current fifty three billion dollars a year which we saw last year to around sixty seven three billion dollars back to

cards and who needs to be tales of inmates danny prison in billings eating torches or the big leadin it was hello has this been seeking please how long have you been filming is this long. you know i've been working as the. as deputy chief warden since two thousand and eight sincere with all of the above all who gave the orders and who in the government knew what was going on and who kept this matter under wraps. nobody just the chief warden and i was deputy chief ford and he wanted me to film some interesting moments for example when police arrest an opposition activist or a prominent figure is arrested he wanted it on tape probably they intended to use those videos later against those people and i made those videos over the period of a year or maybe six months i'm not sure i didn't meet them in a day or two they were accumulated over a period of time and eventually i had two hours of video
6:29 am
a big chief warden would take those videos to a liar and then a liar would take them to the president they used it for entertainment the enjoyed watching how helpless people were in their hands one city future prison you are nobody you have a new dignity this is why these videos caused such an outrage on georgia this is why all those young people are protesting at how do you know that interior minister a homeless soul that t.d.o. how do you know he was aware of what was going on. i just it will tell you as told to to i made those videos for him and then he would take the tape and i don't know what he would do with it but i feel i would often come to because the only person with perhaps once or twice a week like he used to spend a lot of time talking to the chief warden in his office i feel i was a very close ally of president saakashvili in president bush called a beacon of democracy that he was fully aware of what was going on in prison.
