watching r t n live at eleven pm from moscow. first this late friday night the prayer the day of prayer in the muslim world once again been dominated by anti american anger over that film which mocks the main flashpoint pakistan deadly clashes between police and protesters who are trying to reach the american embassy in islamabad at least seventeen people reportedly been killed hundreds wounded across the country security officers used tear gas and fired warning shots to try to disperse the violent mobs and this chaos comes despite the government declaring friday a public holiday and tried to encourage people to protest peacefully and washington is promoting a video on pakistani t.v. two in which president obama and hillary clinton denounced the film thousands also took to the streets in iraq and lebanon to protest over the. was in the midst.
3:02 pm
of the riots in islamabad. as he's standing here around one hundred fifty meters from the diplomatic area where the american embassy and the french and british embassies there are these professors are determined to exist in restrictions i head that they were in that area where the security forces actually has very tight security army and when you're morse's are the powers that be have here some protesters are burning the american flags. they're burning tires we would. be able to break and i would show you how anger these are tires that the band american flags. here and i think i guess the american. i guess that america begins. the american. makers the empty measures and i guess this is propaganda and the american
3:03 pm
government has. made your advertisements on t.v. and here we're going to look at seven hundred thousand dollars. what if you had nearly. run pakistani cities through the local channels a correspondent there in islamabad the reaction from middle east expert dr yunus about u.b.s. joining us on the line live from new york good evening to you now america's chief diplomats just met pakistan's foreign minister in washington let's start off by listening in to what she and every clinton had to say about the relations between the two countries in view of what's going on today. i can assure the people of pakistan that the united states remains committed to this important relationship and we are confident we can continue to move forward together one step at a time to reach our shared strategic objectives if i were to take
3:04 pm
a judgment call today i think in the last few months we have done rather well in some ways almost better than we could have expected to do in building the trust and if it to do and at a time of opportunity. you know if you heard what they had to say there but the seem to be getting on well like on the streets of pakistan their statements not entirely sane reflect what their own people think. well absolutely do seem to get along fine and it was interesting to hear the word we every time from both are representatives we refer to the states and the people who control the states that are represented people there is absolutely the script received between what people perceive as the reality on the ground and what the states man and woman are saying absolutely of course the background here we've seen them very down to american protests in pakistan several times before in response to the killing of civilians by u.s. drones each time the washington the never changed his policies in the region do you think this will be the catalyst for change or will be more of the same ahead. we'll
3:05 pm
be disappointed if we expect a change because at the end of the day this has happened so many times time and again we think that things will change and indeed not we have to put this in the larger context to remember that the united states had a positive image in the out of the muslim world during the second world war and immediately after in the fifty's the special we intervened to stop the aggression by israel france and the u.k. against egypt but at the end of that period. the americans had become just another empire like any other part of the british and the french before and things have gone from bad to worse so people can no longer believe what the what the representatives are saying they only see that their life is getting worse and worse and they can only blame the policies they've been implemented on today's wave of protests across the muslim world does seem to be slightly less than what we witnessed last week do you think this will be the extent of it or do you expect
3:06 pm
governments in these countries to be tougher in future on america the offense caused when i think the government already becoming tougher in tunisia they just issued a statement. saying that they were lower than any demonstrations egypt is also. going tougher on demonstrators they're trying to avoid an escalation of this situation because that would threaten their own power remember we are still in the middle of this week mainly spring or some media like to be presented and these new governments are not still comfortable seated in their in induced seat of power so they are afraid that this might turn against them in the short run but at the end of the day as long as we don't find a solution to leave peacefully and to stop these provocations from time to time this will continue again and again especially that we don't see any real changes in these policies what were the talks would like
3:07 pm
a final thought from you the syria and the anti american protests have also been held there even as washington continues to support arcadia linked rebel elements there that's a catch isn't it what ramifications will this u.s. policy have syria on the entire region you think well the first thing that comes to mind is this might play well into the hands of the syrian regime in proves yet again and maybe there is a conspiracy against syria and this can be used to tell the syrian people listen we've been telling you. the west or the united states is not intervening for the sake of the modesty but it is intervening for its own interests so this will be probably used in such and such a way but this will not necessarily solve the issue because there is more they mentions of the syrian crisis and just intervention from abroad of course we appreciate your thoughts my life new york middle east expert dr yunus there by you thank you. well. the georgian government struggling to save face tonight
3:08 pm
is public protests continue in reaction to the prison abuse scandal their fury flared after a leaked video showed inmates being tortured and raped by guards at one of the country's jails and the authorities have already arrested several suspects including the head of the facility georgia's interior minister and the corrections minister both stepped down over the scandal to prison guards across the country have also been replaced for now with police officers some georgians are comparing the jail though to america's notorious talum obey where terror suspects are held and abused parties you go to skin off reports. this story is continuing to unfold here in georgia of the interior minister has resigned and our team managed to meet with a male who started all this the former staff member of the group by the prison who released this shocking footage of jordan are forty still claim that he didn't know what was going to be the grads this is not the case at all saakashvili was fully aware of what was going on when i feel i was appointed minister in two thousand and
3:09 pm
five the system was very far from european standards then saakashvili appointed acholi minister and then started taking very tough steps he would send security forces to prison he would break into prisons and beat up in me it's even the fellow 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 prison he had built it was going to be. 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 always for 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 you would saakashvili as an enemy he would
3:10 pm
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 saakashvili regime no criticism is a right you should either leave or they will enjoy torturing her helpless people and they are. one c.t.c. to prison for your new beauty you have new dignity this is why these videos caused 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. themselves says that he decided to show this footage to the world for everyone to see how the georgian leader really treats his citizens.

london. business now it's twenty two minutes past eleven moscow time i'd take a big step to securing its presence in russia. before still the country of course produce no deep and toys with russia nor for rosneft our correspondent richmond va doing good splendid. the head of russia's the largest oil company rosneft you could say has confirmed today that b.p. is very much interested in boosting its stake in ross net and he says welcomes this initiative very much now that this could be done through the sale of b.p.'s stake in the russian british joint venture t m 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 ross never to develop the arctic shelf was blocked by the russian partners in t. and k b p so b.p.
3:23 pm
for a long time has been wanting to get out of this joint venture now ross never would pay for this stake through market mechanism no sleep with cash and with its own shares boosting b.p. stake the twelve and a half percent in rosneft which would make it the second most important shareholder in 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 a deal being signed because until that day the russian partners in the have a priority in purchasing b.p. stake traders didn't care for news rosena shares closed down here in moscow despite the higher oprah's and a mostly market pool is expected to sell six million new by firm forbes around the world by monday person to take. on the dollar slipped to almost one point three on

you. still. live. in. a low in welcome to cross talk here a little here 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 live. and. still live. to 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
3:29 pm
he is the c.e.o. of i.q. ventures across the grows 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 wrote 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 encouraging 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 in 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's too early to tell make any kind of.
