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 us 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 all of us 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. professor

of politics at new york and adversity patricia de janeiro believes the u.s. should rethink its regional policies if it wants to get relations back on track. the house been going on for weeks but i think it has been brewing for decades the u.s. has had kind of an ad hoc foreign policy in the middle east for over sixty years now they've been starved supporters of israel no matter what happens within the context of the arab community in the arab region and in the muslim reason as are seeing now in pakistan and afghanistan their policy has also been kind of way or in and ad hoc nonexistent so i think if anything's going to happen they're going to have to be very engaged right now of why i really think that the u.s. is a bit confused about what it should be doing and how it should be moving forward it's trying to step back and allow some of you know the arab world basically in the muslim world to make its own decisions but there's such
7:06 am
a there's such chaos going on right now i think we need to be more engaged and more active this is about really qualifying down stopping the rhetoric against iran and moving forward to more peaceful and better relationships and better respect with each other so they can have a good future and so can we. so closely following the arrest in the muslim world of our dot com and with more on the provocative western portrayal of the middle east are one site. fantastic and i am for the queues of inciting hatred will go up across the new york subway as u.s. authorities say the billboards are justified based on the basis of free speech. also online an actress in the anti islam film that sparked the mideast protests files a lawsuit against its producer as well as google and she fears for the safety of her family more details on r t dot com. georgia's interior minister has
7:07 am
resigned days after a video surfaced which appeared to show in may it's being tortured and sexually abused by prison guards the footage prompted outrage in the country with thousands taking to the streets saying they won't rest until every one responsible as helped to account. reports from. the story is continuing to unfold here in georgia of the interior minister has resigned and our team managed to meet with them a little started all this the former staff member of the group by the prisoner who released this shocking footage georgia authorities still claim that they didn't know what was going on but according to the grads it this is not the case at all saakashvili was fully aware of what was going on when uncle i was appointed minister in two thousand and five the system was very far from european standards then saakashvili appointed a fellow minister and that fellow started taking very tough steps he would change security forces to prison he would break into prisons and beat up in me even
7:08 am
so it would often be there with a camera filming everything and then i think he would shoot those videos to saakashvili in order to show him what kind of prison he had built was going to be low in belgium is asked for political asylum where he claims that drug. tories are still looking for him while he says that for anyone who wants to work in the security services be we or the jail system in georgia no criticism of president saakashvili is allowed he just did it for entertainment or if an inmate had something to do with politics if he was saakashvili as enemy he would pick him this is them is extremely politicized if you work in the prison system or in the police you must be loyal to the psychos freely regime no criticism is a right you should either leave or they will get to enjoy torturing home helpless people
7:09 am
and they are hounds one see take you to prison you are a new party you have a new dignity this is why these videos cause such an outrage in georgia 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 be 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. transparency human rights zero tolerance. the videos that bury 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 cesco that. human dignity
7:10 am
is the last thing they care about and never believe this worse than just one bit about the most the many. 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 but i want your justice that i don't know but everybody knows this isn't just one case this happens all over the country which is the atmosphere at the entrance to the golani prison is extremely intense but 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 these brother has already spent seven months behind bars and says georgia's democracy beacon image aimed at the west is merely a well orchestrated cover up of the chills really pretty on the outside sure it's
7:11 am
easy for europe but no one really knows what's happening behind these walls president saakashvili came out blaming as a static fault several prison officials are now under a criminal investigation and all jail staff have been temporarily substituted with police officers the head of the ministry responsible for the penitentiary system has resigned 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 in delicto over the damage to georgia's leaders may be too much for their reputation to be rescued in time you've got this kind of r t b c georgia and you can catch the interview with the former deputy warden at george's county prison throughout the day right here on r.t.
