today's news on the week's top stories deadly violence stoked by an anti is one of the rampages across the muslim world as crowds call for revenge on the. questions over georgian democracy protesters demanding an end to brutality videos alleging or church in the country's prisons come to light. and over one hundred eighty occupy wall street activists are arrested in new york as they march to mark eight years since the first american and social equality.

and i thank you for joining aren't sunday here two o'clock in moscow and i'm karen taraji well tens of thousands have been venting their anger over the u.s. made on time muslim film for two weeks now protesters have been gathering in canada germany and israel scores have been injured in the capital of bangladesh protesters threw stones and set fire to cars off police used tear gas and but tongs to subdue crowds massive demonstrations were held in pakistan these descended into violence on friday killing at least twenty people in islam a mob thousands trying to breach the u.s. embassy while in other cities crowds set fire to cinemas and burned a lutheran church one pakistani minister offered one hundred thousand dollars to those who kill the maker of the anti islam film however the country's leadership

denounced his moves as artie's going to church again reports the video is not the only thing stoking anti-american anger. the white house keeps saying it was just the anti islamic video that calls the muslims wrath across the world this is not a case of. protests to read. if united states writ large or a 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 about out there for two months well what if you think it's stupid film that nobody has seen causes people to assassinate ambassadors and to storm the embassy and the question the us media keep asking why do so many millions of dollars almost hate the usa but the answers they're getting are the answers the very few in the us want to hear if you were to point to one

thing that 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 our saudi government or another act of violence a rebel mob executing colonel gadhafi the us so true state cheered at the news came restart died that. 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 stabilizing the middle

east and north africa it would be absolutely horrified what other result we expect these people they have no hope their economies are destroyed they see their calling for foreign invaders of course this kind of thing is going to happen when the tragedy in libya happened to a national community wholeheartedly condemned the attacks on american diplomats but the us 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 this 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 ban on protest against cartoons making marking rather the prophet muhammad on saturday twenty one people were arrested when they attempted to stage

a small rally near a paris mosque where about a week ago an unauthorized demo some one hundred fifty people detailed independent journalist robert harness says muslims are also angry at france following nato's foreign policy read the government is in a very difficult position because of their policy in syria and because of their various inconsistences on is alarmed all french leaders like most european leaders are in the in the nato and buying though 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 carrot 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 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 they're playing it both ways they don't want to enrage the the people the alleged five million people of muslim backgrounds in france are a lot of people on the other hand they stick to their line that they allow free speech which of course is only allowed in france on certain subjects. this week public anger has rocked georgia in reaction to a prison abuse scandal with the government now scrambling to save face here a flared after a leaked 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 horder despite the resignation of south georgian officials and the interior minister demonstrators say they won't rest until every one of sponsible is held to

account president guards across the country have been replaced with police officers but inmates say they fear the brutalities will continue parties you've got this kind of reports from tbilisi. transparency human rights zero tolerance. the videos that burry george's 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 here's this guy that. human dignity is the last thing they care about i never believe this worse than just one bit but then with the many. thousands protested would signs reading the reply apparently addressing georgian authorities some are comparing the footage to that from guantanamo even though these are ordinary inmates not to are suspect. many not only want the sacking of officials responsible for the police and the

prison system but the prosecution as well. everybody knows this isn't just one case this happens all over the country. the atmosphere at the entrance to be going to any 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 georgia's democracy beacon image aimed at the west is merely a well orchestrated cover up of the jilt real pretty on the outside sure it is a for europe but no one really knows what's happening behind these walls president saakashvili came out blaming as a static fault several prison officials are now under 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 affect nearly every family in one way or another either through relatives friends or neighbors and as the nation prepares to vote for a new parliament in october the damage to georgia's leaders may be too much for their reputation to be rescued in time. of our tea. georgia. party caught or with a former staff member from the infamous georgian jail who leaked the shocking videos bloody murder by the cards he has left the country and is now seeking political asylum and belgium he claims georgian officials knew about the case with the regime's ideological opponents often becoming the victims of torture. you know george's interior minister showed the videos to the president it was just for fun for no particular reason and it was like we do what we want with people once you take you to prison you are nobody you have no dignity this is why these

videos caused such outrage in georgia this is why all those young people who are protesting are all young people came out to protest into water for a lie has been doing alkali has resigned but this is not enough he should be arrested and try and psychos freely must resign saakashvili knew very well about it he just did it for entertainment or if an inmate had something to do with politics if he was suckered philly's enemy they would pick him this is still 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 lie you should either leave or they will get to. you can see the full interview with the former staff member from the guild banning prison in just about twenty minutes here on our t.v. but if you can wait till then it's also available right now at our web site. also

a ranger for over twenty five years he can spend weeks at a time tracking a single group of loggers it's easier to work when snow falls in autumn it's impossible to find human tracks and even transport tracks are hard to see after hours of driving we get sent in the right direction by word of mouth you can see that the ground is soft here which means that there's twelve the tractor trails are very fresh which in fact means that we need to be quite. in order to not scare them off as we get closer. this team says they're illegal but have no documents now xander can now call the police to take over his work here is done he is overwhelmingly outnumbered there are too few rangers working in the promote the region and the w w f he says the government isn't doing enough to stop it i guess the government now is a start of that are for more fall for this legislation so as soon as the polls and so on we've got the new forest court and according to. every for us this is the

images that have become all too familiar throughout the past year reoccurring protesters thrown to the ground people there to document the action knock down. activists attempting to help others wrestled by police. arms twisted and cops left and right over a hundred and eighty people of rested in one day when there's no place for people to come outside and to meet each other and talk about issues when that is so dangerous that you get such severe violence and police repression then we don't really have a democracy for a year now occupy has fought for eradicating wealth inequality and social and economic injustice and us give people jobs give people education get good we help you you have to help the mess. no accountability for wall street bankers years after the comic collapse. that. still has people outraged expecting it may be naive but demanding it is and it starts with

making a statement and that's what the people here are doing skeptics had hoped that occupy camps which once flourished over the west but now have cleared out would put an end to the movement after months of camping out here in the financial district the party hard to what seems to be the peak of occupy hundreds of protesters are back here on the first anniversary. we have the movement to show that it's very much alive. yet the lack of encampments protesters say has not been an obstacle we've really been able to focus on the issues that are important to us and that brought us out here in the first place of economic disparity and political system that no wrong longer represents people who don't have the money to compete and one of occupies key achievements so far that triggering a national dialogue about what matters to the majority of americans the occupy movement has kept a dialogue around fairness and equality and access to the good

things that we all want that should be available to everyone and that dialogue is now in the public the occupiers intend to do their best to keep this dialogue alive like the civil rights movement it would say that you know still has a long way to go. and it's been you know since before i was born i think occupy will have a similar history i think there's so much that has to be done that change is not going to be handed to us with a bow on it with no miracles just around the corner patience and perseverance they say are what will bring tangible change to the u.s. and. r.t.e. new york. anti-government rallies in bahrain showing no signs of dying down with shi'ite activists calling for a home to what they say is discrimination by saudi monarchy on friday security forces in the capital manama fired tear gas and stun grenades at demonstrators dozens or arrested although the country's leaders agreed this week to accept most

of the un human rights pledges to suppress violence and improve the treatment of political prisoners reports of torture and abuse by the regime continue however the ongoing crisis is attracting a little international attention despite dozens in fact has lost less reports some states also seem very selective when condemning bloodshed and every attack. but i think i also signed on like for the whole world on the nature of this conflict only oppression and brutality of the regime one day no matter how long it takes there will be a day of reckoning for this dreadful regime up in arms about syria and they've put their money where their mouth is giving five million pounds in so-called non-lethal aid to those trying to oust president assad but less than a thousand miles away in bahrain there's another human rights crisis ongoing and on that leaders remain conspicuously silent their g.m.

has not spared any means of repression torture has not seized at all and that was the one is of people who were just released in the last day or two. have not stopped. of course the use of sectarianism as. is there well for you guys but more than that is the kidnapping they would not if you people from each village say three or four beat them up torture them not inside the torture chambers but in farms in what they call the woods houses bahrain is home to a forgotten revolution ignored by the international community under reported in the media since february last year there have been almost daily anti-government protests in the resulting crackdown around a hundred have been killed with sixteen hundred in jail including sixty children

and four of bahrain's most prominent human rights activists all that in a country of only one and a half million but the u.k. government says nothing longstanding historical connection between britain and bahrain which was in fact holland in seventy one certainly in association with the u.s. fifth fleet is the oil problem and that's the banking problem along this is harmful to our interests because sooner or later all the gulf markets are going to disappear in a puff of smoke and then the regimes that succeed them will not be friendly country which is their oppressors far from being condemned representatives of the bahraini regime has been a common sight at the u.k.'s major events this summer king how much was invited to the queen's diamond jubilee celebrations in may his eldest son visited david

cameron at downing street and his youngest son who allegedly sanctioned the torture of dissident bahraini athletes was at the opening of london's olympic games but it goes further and deeper than that despite the brutal crackdown between july and september last year the u.k. sold. two point two million pounds worth of arms to the bahraini regime shortly after that the u.k.'s most famous military training school accepted a three million pound donation from the king of bahrain and to the metropolitan police its former assistant commissioner was appointed as an advisor on security to the regime with no objections from the u.k. government bahrain campaigners say it's ruining the government's credibility it's only when they stand up in public and say we oppose this torture we oppose these autocratic regimes and democracy only then will the british

government have any credibility whatsoever and at this moment has. the bahraini opposition and their supporters aren't calling for intervention but they do want the international community to condemn the regime that they say is at least as oppressive as the syrian regime that western powers are so desperate to get rid of. r.t. london our team is working twenty four seven to provide you with the best stories and pictures online have a look at what we have prepared for you on our website r.t. dot com right now. iran accuses german companies siemens of finding explosives and its equipment in order to destroy the country's program find out online whether there are grounds behind the rumors. plus facebook may be switching off its facial recognition tool in europe but in the u.s. there are those passing ahead with their collection of private songs find out more
