south so mating the cool of us enough pool of who is in hiding in america but as you can reports his amateur film was only a catalyst for a fury that has deeper roots. 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. proof. directed at the 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 the administration 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 said it's stupid film that nobody has seen causes people to assassinate ambassadors to storm the embassy and the question the u.s. media keep asking why do so many millions of hate the usa but the answers they're getting are the answers very few in the u.s.
9:03 am
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 for 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 so true state cheered at the news came we saw he died but 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 to me 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 here a national community wholeheartedly condemned the attacks on american diplomats. but the u.s. for its part has been quite selective been condemning violence it could be that the white house start 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 check on. in georgia the prison abuse scandal has now led to a group of opposition activists calling on hunger strike they want the release of several arrested colleagues who are among thousands protesting after

a leaked video shed light on the torture and rape in me spy jail guards two ministers have stepped down over the scandal while the president replaced prison staff with police officers but demonstrators say that's not enough and are calling for the prosecution of everyone responsible for the abuse revelations come just days before parliamentary elections but the government's popularity already failing parties you've got this kind of has more. transparency you would. do all. the videos that all those image making efforts in a matter of minutes. of torture beatings and the sexual abuse of inmates allegedly in one of the country's most exemplary prisons just ask of the. human dignity. of i never believe with you or them just one bit about them to the many. thousands

protested with so is reading the. address the georgian authorities. from guantanamo even though these are. not terrorist suspect many not only want the sacking of officials responsible for the police in the prison system but the prosecution. everybody knows this isn't just one case this happens all over the country. the atmosphere at the entrance to the 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 in the west is merely a well orchestrated cover up of the chills really pretty on the outside sure it is a 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 affect nearly every family in one way or another by those relatives friends or neighbors and as the nation prepares to vote for a new policy to look toward the damage to georgia's leaders may be too much for the reputation to be rescued in time. of r t e c ga r.t. talked of bloody met a bit of card same as a former staff member of the infamous charge and prison who leaked the shocking video and you can watch a full interview with him and me next hour right now here's a preview. of. george's interior minister should be videos to the

president it was just for fun for no particular reason it was like we do what we want with people want you to presume you're nobody you have new dignity this is why these videos cause such outreach in georgia this is why all those young people who are protesting only on. people came to putin into water for a lie has been doing the couloir has resigned but this is not enough he should be arrested and tried and succor surely must resign saakashvili knew very well or by suit he just did it for entertainment or if an inmate had something to do with politics if he was suckered from his enemy they would pick him the system 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.
