hello and thank you for joining r.t. it is friday here in moscow and seven o'clock i'm karen taraji well the day of prayer in the muslim world has once again been dominated by anti-american anger over the film which marks islam a flash point to this time in this friday rather is pakistan in deadly clashes between police and protesters who are trying to reach the american embassy in islamabad a sixteen people have reportedly been killed and more than one hundred wounded across the country security officers are using tear gas and firing warning shots to disperse violent mobs they chaos comes 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 our choose policy player with the latest from. they're of course protesting against this american made film and the

recent publication by a french magazine of caricature of prophet muhammad 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 with tens of thousands of people are gathering in heat of a call by the his ability to run an astrologer now those protests are happening in the eastern eleven is the city of rome big as i say they are being organized by his villa 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 in lebanese security on high alert the protests on much more than just those 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 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 is. analysis now from journalist and broadcaster neil clark neal thanks for joining r.t. today now the mockery of the muslims has been hailed as the worst attack ever on islam it's triggered an enormous backlash of american hatred how long will it continue rising he's going to continue there's no i decide he's there i think people are very very angry and i think there's an arabic sorry. and i think that this film has been the straw that broke the camel's back i mean it's been. justified anger i mean i was three hours of the group be killed in illegal drugs actually pakistan's government has done the government hasn't done enough and that's. people are taking to the streets they're really really angry now do you

think you just saw the pakistani government hasn't made enough efforts what could they possibly do to keep the anti western demonstrations under control they're going to be a lot stronger about the us i mean you know three thousand dronett three thousand people killed in drone attacks they've got these provocations going on about except the pakistani government to say look you know to get tough with of course they're worried about the us and. that's the problem they're in now approve the leaders of many countries have been trying to deal with the increasingly calling on their people to protest peacefully and do you think that's even possible at this point because it would be very hard with the anger that's about and don't forget the radical islamic groups are playing a large part in this you know their public lives on is on the rise and it's on the rise because of the us policy the us is aggressive policy by actually encouraging radicalism growth because the radical islamic groups within hours of the us all over the region so it's really blow back time to the us now let me out for the u.s. does entirely losing pakistan's people's trust mean losing the trust of the

pakistani government very much so yes i mean those are the it's a really tough situation here and i think the pakistani people are fed up with a government which hasn't been strong enough in standing up to the u.s. and so i said you know i don't know what's going to happen it's going to be really interesting. the second week of unrest and we're seeing police in pakistan throw stones back at protesters it's a tactic that's enraged crowds further in other countries so why is it that they're doing and why they're proceeding in this manner it's the wrong course i mean they should just allow these protests to take place the violence this very take place and they want to deal with it but i think it's going to encourage more violence and i think the problem is you've got governments across the region which don't reflect the people in bahrain we see this bahrain got recently carol where we've got the. police and we haven't got democracy in this region we've got pro u.s. governments and people want changes and on you know something's got to change in this. well there. broadcaster here neil clark there joining r.t.

thank you for a time thanks gary. the georgian government is struggling to save face as public protests continue in reaction to the president views scandal fury flared after a leaked video showed inmates being tortured and raped by guards at one of the country's jails already as have already arrested several suspects including the head of the facility charges interior minister and corrections minister have both stand down over the scandal present guards across the country have also been replaced with police officers some georgians are comparing the jail to america's notorious kuantan i'm obey where terror suspects are held and abused archies you've got this going off reports. this story is continuing to unfold here in georgia oh 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 of georgia authorities still claim that they didn't know what was going according to the grads that this is not the case at all

saakashvili was fairly aware of what was going on when i feel i was appointed minister in two thousand and five the system was very far from european standards then really appointed a colonial minister and that fellow started taking very tough steps he would chain security forces to prison he would break into prisons and beat up in it's even himself would often be there with a camera filming everything and being 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 because he is low in belgium he's 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 police or the jail system in georgia. no criticism of president saakashvili is

a way out he just did it for entertainment or if an image 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 psychiatry regime no criticism is a right you should either leave or they will be enjoying torturing her helpless people here. one c two you could see prison and movie you have to consider this is one of these videos caused such an outrage and georgia this is why all those young people are protesting because also says that president saakashvili is truly an american project and the washington will do everything for him to remain in power here in georgia while give the crowd themselves says that he decided to show this footage to the world for everyone to see how the georgian leader really treats his citizens are closely following developments in georgia stay with us for

policies as 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 government has appointed ninety of them over the past two years they include celebrities like mary porteous who's famous for how to make television show she was charged with making the u.k. high street over the past few years the u.k. government have appointed only everything and surprise digital communication and even housing but most of them are from the television there are so many of them that they could almost full marriage celebrity in many cabinet serious questions about exactly why these people will be going to these rules and the. people to. whom. he was very funny which were political analysts say they're worried about the increasing number of policy

advisers as i made the coalition governments pledge to cut public spending it isn't just best swelling number that's worrying it's a question of their competence this year the british government's back to work sorry no businesswoman emma harrison who was appointed to help problem families find was forced to stand down from her role a major concerns over a role within her company critics say the increasing number of cars within the u.k. government points to a deeper question about how the country is run and where the civil servants lack the expertise necessary to do that job properly. more from the wiley world of westminster to come including the deputy prime minister who's just covering that saying sorry sooner. that song. may claggy may be slumping in the polls over broken promises but it pianos number

and ambush and august by islamist militants killed sixteen egyptian soldiers at a military outpost. now scraper twenty five bodies has been discovered in the syrian capital victims showed signs of torture and had been allegedly abducted and killed by the rebels meanwhile fighting continues on the country's border with turkey where opposition fighters seized a strategic crossing on wednesday on qatar responded by deploying military personnel to the area. turkey's also dealing with problems of its own verdicts are coming in in the trial of hundreds of military officers charged with planning a coup three generals have been sentenced to life and thirty four others acquitted they were all accused of orchestrating and eventual army takeover. through blowing up and storage mosques in the capital and sparking a conflict with greece to deny the charges two year trial is being closely watched as to whether it encroaches on turkey's secular principles of which the military

seem the main enforcers. thirty three thousand american troops have been recalled from afghanistan that's according to u.s. defense secretary leon panetta he stressed that the soldiers had succeeded in their essential mission of boosting the capability of afghan security forces over sixty eight thousand u.s. troops still remain in afghanistan with all foreign military set to leave the country by the end of twenty four child. while greece's leaders finalize the detail to convince global lenders to release more cash police are investigating thirty two politicians were embezzle mint it's part of the government's tax evasion crackdown to raise final finance social and political philosophy lecture at these so it is believes the new initiative will do little to help the country's economy. but later large parts of the political class here in greece are in very strong ties re the business elites most of the media elite and the business and it's so i'm not i'm

not there is sort of that this i suppose their crackdown on corruption will bring back some confidence in most breaks citizens to the ability or governments to deal with care and problems i think that most of the plants from that part of the grab government to deal with the problem. again increased taxation on people who are actually paying taxes leddy's a wage earner and that has been most of the most of their during tax reforms made in place i think they will also raised taxation on the professional classes that means nocked orse lawyers etc but the very big problem of legitimate forms oh right reduce taxation for big business for example for the sleeping industry in greece will remain in place or over the carriage problem with public revenues in greece has much more to do with the recession around with than with tax evasion. britain's

beleaguered deputy prime minister faces a tough crowd this weekend his own angry party it's the liberal democrats annual gathering and they're not happy at getting voter vitriol over tearing up key pledges and easily submitting to the conservatives coalition government nick clegg tried a reputational rescue remedy with a video apology but it's opened him up to even more ridicule sarah further has the story this isn't close he might still be able to hear the echoes of laughter in the hallowed halls of westminster in the week that thing nick clegg's apology video remake going viral the chief whip in the thought that the public and the local councillor get arrested britons have taken to social media to discuss the fact that something funny used to be going on in government. the video is certainly got

a lot of loss but the so-called apology just didn't save the rise in tuition fees it's just the latest in a long line of broken promises and government turns and it's losing the government credibility another apology came today from the government chief whip angie mitchell he told police offices and in another twist tory brian coleman has been arrested for alleged assault on a member of the public so it's not looking good for the government this is the apologies come thick and fast people are finding it harder to exert some students with degrees and are struggling to get employment cleaning toilets and as many of being quick to point out it's not just who is struggling in the midst of a double dip recession everyone's feeling the pain with things looking a little bleak in britain right now or perhaps one of the if that you a thing where if you don't love your cry but underpinning the humor and there's a serious point being made and that's that the coalition government starting to look like a bit of a joke it's not

a very funny one. arty london. political blogger george eaton believes nick clegg has driven himself into a corner. but two different lines on this clegg and his apology suggest that the party made the pledge in the first place because there's no money around it would have been too expensive to rent now what song by the saying is well we would have kept the pledge but it was a hung parliament that very good that. would have kept us are actually the lib dems haven't got one single message on this and i think until they so they do then for the very just take them seriously craig's best of 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 governed by the spend side arguing with the conservatives trying to differentiate themselves. 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. my animals prominent dissident on democracy i can all the sand suci has become the latest star supporter of the jailed russian punk band pussy riot calling for their immediate release suchi joins the raft of global celebrities who've been backing the group including madonna staying the red hot chili peppers and yoko ono russia stressing the decision of the court should be respected the band members were jailed for two years for hooliganism motivated by religious hatred after they pulled an anti putin stunt in the country's main cathedral the president recently told r.t. that he's aware of wrinklies but won't interfere with the sentence there punk prayer was followed by a wave of the anti-religious vandalism ranging from cutting down classes to throwing nk at icons in the same cathedral. let's join daniel for business and sochi is hosting the eleventh international investment for and.

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 didn't like the news rosena shares just closed down here in moscow discourse of generally positive markets and a higher order for us today is expected to sell six million by phone worldwide by monday said the tech heavy nasdaq up after almost two hours for trade and the dollars slipped to one point three on the euro the rules had a nice to offer an awful week as you can see there madrid saw a bit the best performer in europe up two percent now from reports the e.u.

thanks thanks thanks. thanks. thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks . it. was. a low in welcome across town people over a year on where does the occupy movement stand is it now just a passing fad there was a lot of outrage and even violence but what about the substance supporters of the occupy movement disagree they claim they have changed the political conversation in

the us and possibly the world about social justice. and. cross talk the occupy movement one year on i'm joined by joseph palermo he's an associate professor of history at california state university sacramento in london we have charles cook he's a writer with the national review and in islamabad we cross to solomon hyder shake he is the c.e.o. of i.q. ventures in effect gentlemen that means you can jump in anytime you want charles one year on the occupy movement would you say it's a lot of heat but not much light yes and i think it was from the beginning i went down there right at the beginning i covered it for a few months and it's funny if you look back at the first thing i rode i said this is a collection of progressives who have had these ideas for a very long time there's nothing particularly new about it. and it would go nowhere because it was encouraged and it was diffused and there wasn't anything new in

there offering and i think a year later it has fizzled with the exception of the line one percent or ninety nine percent that has stuck around that and that is now part of the conversation but in terms of the other things i heard that they wanted it was a pretty standard ragbag of progressive wishes ok joseph jump in what do you think . well i think as a historian it it's too early to tell make any kind of dance on the grave of occupy wall street right now i think they did shift the conversation that's true but i think they did more than that you don't see a movement go from new york city all the way across the globe like that very often and three hundred sixty five days really isn't a very long. right now in some towns and in the u.s. there are people occupying homes that are about to be foreclosed to try to prevent banks from foreclosing and there's been all sorts of new relationships between labor unions in particular and a lot of the occupy wall street.
