and him or confuse me flaring across the muslim world for a second fight in a row as casualties mount and protests rage across the region. also on our t.v. angry georgian prout's keep up the pressure over the prisoner abuse scandal while the man who leaked the footage off the jail guard just brutality speaks to r.t. . grafton greece police investigate dozens of politicians for embezzlement and a tax evasion crackdown while the country braces for the latest verdict on its low .

thank you for joining r.t. where we bring you the latest news twenty four hours a day seven days a week on screen and online of karen taraji well the day of prayer in the muslim world is once again dominated by anti-american rage over the film which mocks islam the flashpoint this time is pakistan where police have clashed with protesters trying to reach the american embassy in islamabad at least three people have reportedly been killed and fifteen wounded when police opened fire on riders who set to cinema a blaze the violence calms despite the government declaring friday a public holiday and encouraging people to protest peacefully rallies are also taking place in other muslim countries here's artie's polis leader with the latest from the region. they're of course protesting against this american made film and the recent publication by a french magazine of caricature of prophet muhammad in the last week of violence

some three people have died just in pakistan on thursday we saw two thousand protesters take to the city of islamabad today friday 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 that has been a leader hassan nasrallah now those protests are happening in the eastern eleven is the city of baalbeck 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 the protests on much more than just as they really are calling up anger against the united states that many say has been simmering below

the surface for quite some time so what we're witnessing is really now the spock to the fire that is seen tens of thousands of people take to the streets in all these cities to really hold the united states responsible for what they say is the worst attack ever on islam. let's get some reaction and analysis from anthony while had all the think tank web site the daily dot com anthony thanks for joining our team today we've seen ten days of protests already with dozens killed across the muslim world how could all of this have been caused by a short amateur clip on you tube. well first of all i don't believe that it is the cause so much as the spark the cause of what we're seeing here today is many decades of foreign policy. interventionist type of occupation in countries around the world the middle east is just another region

that has been destabilized as the u.s. who really play the role as the front line in the international spread of democracy on behalf of western intel the u.s. has built you know over nine hundred bases one hundred forty five countries around the world spreading democracy at the end of a gun barrel or with drones flying overhead forcing citizens that never asked for the for the u.s. invitation to come to the envoys to come into the into their countries to democratize them is what is causing these these conflicts that you're seeing today this crisis is warranted because of u.s. foreign policy in the interventionist style the tactics that are utilized in order to occupy these nations and create chaos out of which centralization is the desired goal and in addition america's unmanned drones have been carrying out deadly strikes across the muslim world for years why has the practice been largely tolerated all this time. well first of all the people on the ground have very little that they can actually do other than what you see today which is to rise up

in discontent and how can you blame them for being discontented with what has been happening the leaders who have been deposed many of which over the past decade throughout the middle east have been replaced with puppet regimes those puppet regimes in the day of the internet reference reformations we call it in which we live today are exposed for exactly what they are which are really nothing more than . fictitious elements of western intel that have been put in place in order to supposedly care about the interests of the local people when the drones are flying overhead and dropping bombs and killing civilians at will on people who've never been tried by the way in a court but who are branded as terrorist because of their point of view this is not something that you could expect to happen in america by another nation for people to stand by idly after a period of time so the leaders in those countries are facing discontent by the populace who now understand and realize that they are simply put under the thumb of western intel led by the us led by nato and led by international banking syndicates

now we've seen flags being flown during these anti-american protests well washington see this as a wake up call to rethink its support al qaeda linked rebels in syria. well first of all i don't believe that the u.s. wants to see that happen i think the u.s. is happy to see it and once again western intel power is happy to see the conflict in the crisis that is happening without that there is no justification for further occupation in these countries and without the occupation there is no justification for the centralization of power in the middle east which is the desired goal so i don't think washington really cares too much about whether they're on one side or the other of the supposed. situation bill do whatever is necessary in order to maintain the conflict so that their their their purposeful on the ground position is maintained and actually elevated so the crisis plays into the hands of those who wish and desire more centralization of power and finally i do want to draw attention to government orders to protest peacefully they're largely being ignored

in some countries why aren't those people listening to their leaders. because they don't believe in those leaders as being leaders for the people or for the interests of the country they believe that those leaders are nothing more once again than fronts for western power and the us if they're not happy with whoever is city. an office exercising the control and will of the u.s. state department then they'll be they'll be ousted it's that simple so the people i think see that i think they see that you know the leadership in pakistan is it's not real leadership so they're not they're not about to listen to what what their leaders have to say all right inside an analysis live from canada from anthony while head of think tank website the daily belt dot com thank you. georgian government is struggling to save face as public protests continue in reaction to the president you scandal harry 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 well step down over the scandal prison guards across the country have also been replaced with police officers some georgians are comparing the jail to america's notorious one china mulvey where terror suspects are held and abused parties you've got this kind of reports. this story is continuing to unfold here in georgia oh the interior minister has resigned and our team managed to meet with him a little started all this the former staff member of the group by the prisoner who released this shocking footage of georgia authorities still claim that he didn't know what was going on but according to. this is not the case at all saakashvili was fully aware of what was going on when i was appointed minister in two thousand and five the system was very far from european standards then really appointed

a low minister and that fellow started taking very tough steps he would change security forces to prison or he would break into prisons and. even the killer himself 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 person he had 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 work 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 this is them is extremely politicized if you work in the prison system or in the police you must be loyal to the cycle

should be reached no criticism is a right you should either leave or they will feel he enjoyed torturing her helpless people here in town. one city could see prison you are nobody you have no dignity this is why these videos caused such an outrage in georgia this is why all those young people are protesting because also says president saakashvili is purely an american project and washington will do everything for him to remain in power here in georgia 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 that. we are closely following developments in georgia stay with us for the full interview with the man who at least the videos of torture and charges danny preston airs later this hour.

politicians are elected to make tough decisions but in britain they're increasingly needing outside help while the rest of the country runs itself in during recession once ministers finest are splashing out on a league of advisors to help draft policy and as polyploid explains there are some pretty bizarre roles being created zaz the russian empire had twenty six of them but it looks like the british government suppose that number a long time ago here in the u.k. a policy is an individual appointed by the government to find solutions in difficult areas of public policy and according to their research about to be released by king's college london the coalition of government has appointed ninety

race it's not surprising they love it this trail ira mazie. but even more amazing is the story of how racing first started here at all it wasn't the tough mushers of sled dog racing who set the trail ablaze but a nun and for all friends who brought their idea to life. five years ago mother put a scare of a bill to dog kennel in the village kids from the local open age came around to take care of the dogs and one day they state their lives might seem extreme to some the boys wake up at six to feed the dogs before school in the evening they spend up to three hours training their four legged friends but smother her scare also encourages her kids to become dad hands on the computer and internet the boys who regularly update their website and they're in touch with their busy mother twenty four seven on the phone. but children are the most important thing my only interests not play any rule any more and regardless of whether part of schemas

huskies window raised or not she hopes the competition will take place in the village next year. but called these dogs and the children it really is not the weaning but truly just the taking part that counts. welcome back you're watching r t with me karen tara tree it's time now for some news and brief for you this hour israel claims a failed infiltration attempt led to a shoot out on the border with egypt that's killed at least three militants on soldier gunmen opened fire at israeli troops standing guard at a point where the border fence is under construction the sinai peninsula remains highly volatile an ambush in august by islamic militants killed sixteen egyptian soldiers at a military outpost. a mass grave with twenty five bodies has been discovered in the

especially given that its previous deal with ross so you would develop the arctic shelf was blocked by the russian partners in peace so the people a long time has been wanting to get out of this joint venture now ross never would pay for the stake free market mechanism notably with cash and with its own shares boosting b.p. stake the twelve and a half percent in gross now which would make it the second most important shareholder in gross never 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 the have a priority in purchasing b.p. stake traders don't like the news rosena shares n l sliding despite the higher
