5:01 am
hello and welcome to see twenty four hour news life for most go. with the latest news and the week's top stories tens of thousands have been venting their anger over the u.s. made on to muslim film for two weeks now protesters have been gathering in a kind of germany and a zero schools have been injured in the campus of bangladesh protesters threw stones and set fire to cars while police used tear gas and batons touche the view crowds massive demonstrations were held in pakistan these descended into violence on friday killing at least twenty people and as thousands try to breach the u.s. embassy while another city is crowded set fire to cinemas on the banned list and church one pakistani minister offered one hundred thousand dollars to those who killed the may called the. islam fell however the country's leadership denounced
5:02 am
his move on his gun that account reports now the video is known to be only saying stop the anti american. the white house keep saying it was just the anti islamic video that calls the muslims wrath across the world this is not a case of. protest or wrecked it at the united states writ large or it us policy this is in response to a video that is offensive but that's a claim no one is buying it ministration wants us to believe it's not the administration's policies that have generated this behavior it's this one idiotic piece of so-called film which is right out there for two months but what if you know you think it's stupid film that nobody has seen causes people to assassinate ambassadors to storm the embassy and the question the us media keep asking why do so many millions of was once hate the usa but the answers they're getting are the answers very few in the us want to hear if you were to point to one thing that
5:03 am
makes some muslims hate the usa it would be. hypocrisy over democracy. while america the government now preaches democracy it has propped up authoritarian leaders but that's not the only accusation of hypocrisy that washington is facing there's also u.s. policy makers failure to condemn the violence when it suits their goals like the numerous terrorist attacks in syria washington seems to approve of them as long as they are targeting supporters of the government or another act of violence a rebel mob executing colonel qadhafi the us a true state cheered at the news yes we came we saw he died there. washington's failure to condemn all violence equally has prompted radicals to take an even more aggressive course if most americans understood what was being done in our name in the stabilizer. in the
5:04 am
middle east in north africa it would be absolutely horrified what other result to me expect these people to have no hope their economies are destroyed. they are calling for foreign invaders of course this kind of thing is going to happen when the tragedy in libya happened the international community wholeheartedly condemned the attacks on american diplomats but the u.s. for its part has been quite selective in condemning violence it could be that the white house thought by supporting revolutions by fostering regime change they were winning hearts and minds in the muslim world but that doesn't appear to be the case for now the obama administration constantly refers to the film as the sole reason behind what's happening a reasoning which basically allows them to avoid addressing the deeper issues in washington i'm going to. riot police in france are continuing to monitor the streets to enforce a bomb and crush us against cartoons mocking the prophet muhammad on saturday twenty one people were arrested when they're tempted to stage a small rally near
5:05 am
a power a small school where week ago and also rise demos a one hundred fifty people detained and let's not talk to independent journalists will be on this but behind us welcome to r.t. so if they were promoting sound when then wherry veils were arrested when it was suspected they were intending to take part in approaches has the government basically given the police license to saying anyone based on how they look well it's to be fair to the government. of the government but. these are demonstrations that have not been approved by the ministry of the interior you will be familiar with the program and therefore the government you can do that doesn't matter whether you're wearing a veil or not the government is doing a very difficult position because of their policy in syria and because of their various inconsistences. is law. so they have to crack down they have to make sure there is no. over excitement as a result of this. disturbance that has taken place in the muslim world outside put
5:06 am
in front of most of it and across it the situation has been exacerbated by a french newspaper called charlie hebdo which is the satirical newspaper and two religious which is published a series of and is not meant cartoons of a rather tasteless nature brazen so why has paris allowed the publication of the cartoons which many seen as a provocation against muslims that then banned people protesting against an eight things there's freedom of speech for only one side here doesn't it well and i think that's that's fair comment i mean that the rules in france are that you can do and say not do sorry you can say anything you like about religion as long as it's not actually positively defamatory and if it is defamatory then you go to the courts and you try and get a criminal conviction against the people who do it which are you have do have a record of of machine this sort of thing goes back about ten years and of course they're now in in
5:07 am
a bind because if they stop now when they must know that what they are doing you see trey then everybody is going to say your caving in to muslim pressure only if they go on people say you're throwing her on the fire but of course what one has to remember is that every time they do this sort of thing and it's not the first time they they printed the danish cartoons as well every time they do these sort of thing their circulation doubles they you mentioned earlier the french policies in the arab world and we've seen millions protesting against the french cartoons icons that said is it just they said terrible publications or are there wide away his friends sparks anger you know it's it's it's. clear that muslims are very upset by what has happened but the bulk of muslims in the province are reasonably moderate the extremists did demonstrate a week ago in a place where they knew perfectly well they had no right to demonstrate and they held a prayer meeting as well prayer public prayer meetings very sensitive issue in for . which is
5:08 am
a layer of public where religion should have no place so they knew they were actually provocative get there quite deliberately but on the other hand although the authorities have put out a huge heavy police presence their reaction has actually been quite mild because although they arrested a hundred and so people last week only one of them was given a prison sentence and that was i think the two months three months suspended and the judge who deals with these matters may decide that he shouldn't be in prison anyway and he was allowed to walk out of the court so it's that they're playing it both ways they don't want to enrage the the people of the alleged five million people of muslim backgrounds in france of honor a lot of people on the other hand think they've got to stick to their line that they allow free speech which of course is only allowed in france on certain subjects yes briefly again france has been supporting rebels in syria and started the bombing campaign in the lead there were so many civilians killed do you think the france or will reconsider a foreign policy in the face of such anger. well it's and we've talked about this
5:09 am
before on your program all french leaders like most european leaders are in the in the nato buying they they've committed themselves to nato tied up with nato france under so cozy committed itself more strongly than at any time since general de gaulle to nato and say there is the usual sore stick and carrots from from washington so that there's that aspect of it and also they want to appear to be punching above their weight to use a british expression in international politics because they want to keep their veto in the united nations so there is no difficulty on the other hand there is a growing feeling in left wing circles that says the government's policy is nonsense you cannot support it terrorism on monday and condemn it on tuesday and then support it again on wednesday and noticeable for all sorts of reasons not just this before as far as popularity has. just at
5:10 am
a record speed he eased his popularity ratings eleven percent in one month there's been nothing like it since general de gaulle declared independence for our geria and president chirac the last referendum on the european treaty i mean these are major events this is just general unpopularity of the new president robert harness independent journalist thank you very much indeed for your time. thank you . this week public anger has rocked georgia in reaction to a prison abuse scandal with the government now scrambling to save face peering flared after a leaks video showed inmates being tortured and raped by guards at one of the country's jails on friday four protesters were arrested after trying to break through a police cordon of this by the resignation of several georgian officials and the tearoom minister demonstrators say they won't rest until every one of us possible is held to account prison guards across the country have been replaced with police

5:12 am
prosecution as well. everybody knows this isn't just one case this happens all over this country which is in the atmosphere the entrance to the 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 leads brother has already spent seven months behind bars and says george's democracy beacon image in the west is merely a well orchestrated cover up of the chilly it's 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 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
