hello and welcome to the program it is friday here in moscow and four o'clock on karan tara well the day of prayer in the muslim world is once again dominated by anti-american riots over the film which mall islam the flashpoint to this time is pakistan where police have clashed with protesters trying to reach the american embassy in islam a bot at least one person was reportedly killed and fifteen wounded when police opened fire on rioters are set to cinemas a blame the violence comes despite the government declaring friday a public holiday and encouraging people to protest peacefully right here live pictures coming right out rallies are also. taking place in other muslim countries

as you can see these live pictures are from levanon well have the latest from our correspondent in the region in a few minutes right here on our team. five right now let's get some faults and analysis from somebody. who is the president of the arab lawyers association and he joins us live from london thank you so much for finding the time today for our team now washington has denounced the controversial film and distance itself from it but we are ten days into the protests which actually show no sign of coming what is still driving them. there are at least two reasons one of them is the u.s. is continuing to insult the beliefs in the feelings of the muslim countries of the freedom of. expression which the u.s. is relying on does not actually apply equally every quarter stance google which owns you tube still refuses to remove. pictures from the web site despite

the demand by most of the muslim countries of the arab countries and in fact even the russian minister of communications. were awful has called on that but the u.s. seems to be oblivious to that and this is a situation which is continuing despite the fact that for instance in the u.s. you cannot and many other european countries you cannot even question historical events like the holocaust it's called. we have a second reason for why it is going on is the continuing political problem that the u.s. has with the out of the muslim countries its foreign policy is so and it is viewed by the overwhelming majority of the number one it's against them and number two is a supporter of israel there is a complete contradiction in policy between the foreign policy of the usa with the muslim and arab countries all the issues whether it's the relates to democracy freedom. politics israel palestine or any of these issues and in addition to that

the u.s. continues to go around playing the role of destruction of countries we've seen what they have done in libya and we all remember for instance what happened there the situation in syria is now not any different or any better the u.s. continues we have than a standard we can. also things so there is politics number one and number two is the insult of their beliefs and ideas and i do want to add that washington has now spent seventy thousand dollars to promote a short clip in pakistan where obama and hillary clinton speak out america's defense as well as convince anyone do you think at this stage i don't think this will convince them i think because we all remember when he didn't and so the killing of that in libya she said we came we so he died she didn't think that

was that death was any more difficult than the beginning regrettable as it is of the. american embassy and american ambassador in libya these double standards are no longer possible to continue the idea that you can somehow pay some newspapers to put some adverse when many of the people who would read it and even those who read it will not believe it so i'm not sure i do want to ask as i start interrupting but america's unmanned drones have been carrying out deadly strikes across the muslim world for years yet that has been tolerated why is that it's not been this is this is the reaction we're seeing now is part of that the drones are now being used now today in libya and yemen and in sudan and these drones policy people cannot go out on the mystery against the drones that are up in the sky so they would. they would take at. against the things that they're in front of

them whether it's the the all shops all over there it's the us embassy it's this is the reaction of the people and this policy not only draws people don't forget alabama stan and fled iraq and palestine and all these. situations so these reactions are as i said it's part. of the foreign policy of the usa live from london somebody president of the arab lawyers association thank you. the georgian government is struggling to save face has public protests continue in reaction to the prison abuse scandal fury flared after a leaked video showed inmates being tortured and raped by guards at one of the country's jails the authorities have already arrested several suspects including the head of the facility georgia's interior minister and corrections minister have both stepped down over the scandal prison guards have across the country have also

been replaced with police officers but protesters insist that's not enough to make up for what's being compared to guantanamo as you go to school no reports. this story is continuing to unfold here in georgia of the interior minister has resigned and our team managed to meet with the started all this the former staff member of the group by the president who released this shocking footage of georgia authorities to claim that he didn't know what was going to be the grounds that this is not the case at all. really was fully aware of what was going on when i was appointed minister in two thousand and four the system was very far from european standards then really appointed the minister. started taking very tough steps he would change security forces to prison he would break into prisons and. even. would often be very 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 this was going to be look as he is now in belgium is asked for political asylum where he claims that georgian authorities are still looking for him while he says that for anyone who wants to war in the security services be police 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 an enemy he would pick him up with this system is extremely politicized if you work in the prison system or in the police you must be loyal to the cycles of the regime no criticism. should either leave or they will be enjoying watching how helpless people here. one see t.v. prison you are nobody you have to concede this is why these videos are causing such

an outrage 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 the crowd himself says that he decided to show this footage to the world for everyone to see how the georgian leader really treats this it is a. transparent see if you will no way to zero tolerance. the videos that hurried toward his 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 just ask of that bus illegal human dignity is the last thing they care about you know what i never believed them just one bit and i left about the most. thousands protested would.

only address the georgian authorities some are comparing the footage to that from guantanamo even though these are. not terror suspects many not only want the sacking of officials responsible for the police in the prison system but the prosecution as well. everybody knows this isn't just one case all over again which is in the atmosphere at the entrance to the good money 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 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 of the chilly really pretty on the outside sure it's easy for europe but no one really knows what's happening behind these walls

president saakashvili came as a standing thought 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 every family in one way or another either relatives or friends or neighbors and as the nation prepares to vote for a new problem and a look to work the damage to georgia's leaders may be too much for the reputation to be rescued in time he was a school of r t e c georgia and we're closely following developments and georgia just stay with us for the full interview with the man who released the videos of torture and georgia's called army prison it airs at fourteen thirty g.m.t. that's also right. to watch all law and are to dot com. back to our top story now

the anti-american protests raging across the muslim world and we're joined by our middle east correspondent paula sawyer paul of the situation in pakistan is spiraling out of control again what is all the latest from there. yes certainly the situation in pakistan is spiraling out of control so far at least one protester killed when demonstrators clashed with police in the city of peshawar now the at the same time the protesters put fire to a cinema complex that took authorities some sixty minutes to bring under control there of course a protest against this american made film and the recent publication by french magazine of caricature of the prophet muhammad in the last week of violence some three people have died just in pakistan on tuesday we saw two thousand protesters take to the city of islamabad and we haven't hear witnessed any violence in islamabad today friday but certainly there was a standoff there between the police and protesters who were trying to make their

way to the u.s. consulate building the army has been called in at the same time we're keeping a watchful eye on lebanon where tens of thousands of people are gathering in heat of a call by the his ability to hassan and this trial or now those protests are happening in the east and live in these the city of rome big as i say they are being organized by hizbollah but later today friday they will be in another protest organized by sunni clerics there hasn't been any violence in lebanon but no doubt tensions are running high all french schools in lebanon as well as the ambassador's residence has been closed today lebanese security on high alert now we're ten days into the protests and the fury still rages across the muslim world what is driving the marlins. while the main reason for this violence is of course this fourteen minute trailer that appeared on you tube it is cool to the innocence of muslims and it depicts the proper. mohammed in

a very crude way there was also this recent publication of these caricature of the prophet in this french magazine called shyly him door so this is for that info inflamed tensions both in north africa the middle east as far field as sydney australia and several european cities but the protests are much more than just this they really are calling up and go against the united states that many say has been a simmering below the surface for quite some time so what we're witnessing is really now the spock to the fire that is seeing tens of thousands of people take to the streets there will be cities to really hold the united states responsible for what they say is the worst attack ever on islam all right archies paula so we are live from tel aviv thank you poll. more stories coming up in a few minutes after a very short break do try and stay with us. culture is that so much of it which of course he's right on it because of you and your own weirdness the

occupy movement stand is it now just a passing fad there was a lot of outrage and even violence but what about. tucked in between the russian mainland japan and the suckling island is the island of minute on named after french seafarer who discovered it it is described as the pride of the sakhalin region we'll take a look at what's in store for us here. until two thousand and four the island was part of the boarders own and was completely restricted to visit is now the speech risk place is open to tourists unique plants and animals are its top attraction. really has been exploring the deaths on the world seas for several decades but it's

here at more your own island where he has finally found what he'd been looking for . the water here is very clear the visibility is very good and the underwater world here is extremely rich i've been to many diving locations across the planet including the island of bali on tops my list while some go to the cycling region to enjoy the sights others convert the island's nature's riches into a healthy dollar it is home to the biggest seafood processing factory in russia the tonight shock hundreds of thousands of tons of fish get caught in the nets too late to produce delicious salamon caviar and necessary attribute of anything in russia the owner of the enterprise says a good fishing season can bring in more than one hundred million dollars net profit . at a large extent this is old to do what succulent offers environmentally. they do my job operates in only and natural habitat and mild climate unique natural sights and

delicious seafood. over a diverse holiday but those who are not afraid to travel ten thousand kilometers from europe the question is whether this distant land would ever be able to become a major tourist destination. welcome back i'm karen taraji and you're with r.t. while greece's leaders finalize the detail to convince global lenders to release more cashed police are investigating thirty two politicians for embezzlement it's part of the government's tax evasion crackdown to raise vital funds for more now let's talk a lot of to social and political philosophy lecture by your this is from the university of thank you so much for joining us now with dozens of high profile people accused of corruption how much faith remains in the government's ability to

steer the country away from total collapse. well the problem is that core oxen and graceful use much more structurally not. although it has been announced that a political person which includes when a thesis or director to public utilities or better than anyone who has some kind of office is under investigation as the problem is that it is common knowledge that a large very large parts of the political class here in greece are in very strong ties with the business elites most of the media elite and the business elites so i'm not i'm not very sort of that this supposed the crackdown on corruption will bring back sound confidence in most. cities as to the ability or governments there are deal with care and problems and the finance ministry said it will raise crucial funds by pursuing tax evader says that plan working out so far well the problem is

that greece has a very strong problem on stocks and their base of. mass by big business but also by the professional classes but i think that most of the plans from that part of the gravel government to deal with the problem with increased taxation on people who are actually paying taxes leddy's wage earners and that has been the most of the rest of the year in tax reforms been in place i think they will also raise taxes and on the professional classes that means not towards lawyers etc but the very big problem legitimate science or reduce taxation for big business for example for the sitting industry in greece will remain in place and where anger the challenge problem with public revenues in greece has much more to do with the recession around with none with tax evasion with a country that has rates more than twenty percent g.d.p. an adoption in the last four years already this is also probably gradually going

down and with a projected recession. for this year i'm going next year one can only expect expect a diminished are bigger than you and the greek finance minister is set to agree on the measures with the lending proca how much of a blow do you predict for public sector workers well they're going to take them up very very big part of the attack because the truth has insisted that living around there are dozens of rule in the way of metal measures to be implemented this means redactions those sort of decks and so this is our lives are going to get much most of the attacks because it's going to increase the reduction in or. benson's and then it died an executor. or workers who are also going to get the increased wage reductions but more or less because as you must all have take into consideration that the this back to his nearest of the goods also includes sharply dioxins in.

benefits and land where i live there are layers of mass layoffs in the public sector so i think. this is we're reaching beyond a limits we would consider social cohesion during greece. must accept expect some sort of social exclusion has i fixed a month's all right thank you lecturer by now you know this such a family university of the live from athens. my anam are as prominent a dissident and democracy i can almost sun suu kyi has become the latest star supporter of the jailed russian punk band pussy riot calling for their immediate release joins the raft of global celebrities who's backing the group including madonna staying a red hot chili peppers and yoko ono russia is stressing at the decision of the court should be respected band members were jailed for two years for hooliganism

today that b.p. is very much interested. in boosting its stake in raw snap and he says welcomes this initiative very much now this could be done through the sale of b.p. stake in the russian british joint venture to t.n. k b p now this could be an extremely important deal for both companies but notably for b.p. whose expansion progress has somewhat altered over the past couple of years especially given that its previous deal with rosneft to develop the arctic shelf was blocked by the russian part this. piece so b.p. for a long time has been wanting to get out of this joint venture now ross never would pay for this stake free market mechanism notably with cash and with its own shares boosting b.p. stake the twelve and a half percent in ross never which would make it the second most important shareholder in gross net and the russian oil giant has always strived to reduce

the state's stake in the company so it's in the mutual benefit but we will have to wait until the seventeenth of october to hear any kind of confirmation on the deal being signed because until that day the russian partners in t. and k b b have a priority in purchasing b.p. stake the rich medvedev shares are doing very nicely on that news is up on the minus six the price is higher by almost a dollar today isn't hurting the totally the group is looking to go out on a high after a pretty terrible week the euro is still very fairly flat on the greenberg. is best performer in europe of one point three percent on reports the e.u. is reading a new rescue plan for indebted spain and also we've got time for more stories for the next hour i think for that ted turner that's next peter lavelle ask says gas carry a controversial film mocking islam really be the only reason behind the protests taking place across the world that's coming your way shortly on cross talk after
