if you just joined us for a good evening to you watching the weekly here on our t. with me kevin i know it's a round of the big stories of the last seven days and first vermund and the american protests have been shaking the muslim world for nearly a fortnight now but they've lost a little steam nonetheless tens of thousands demonstrated in several countries with rallies turning especially violent in pakistan at least twenty people were killed there on friday in clashes with police who were cracking down on mobs targeting american diplomatic missions meanwhile some pakistani officials have condemned a statement by the railways minister he offered one hundred thousand dollars to kill the maker of the controversial film that sparked the protests efficient also called on taliban and al qaeda brothers to take part in assassinating the coolest cell in a cooler is currently in hiding in america but as art is going to teach you can
1:02 pm
reports now is amateur film was only a catalyst for theory that has deepened. the line house keep saying it was just the anti islamic video that caused the muslims wrath across the world this is not a case of. protests directed at the united states writ large or it us policy this is in response to a video that is of fans. 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 you know if you know you stupid film that nobody's seen causes people to assassinate ambassadors 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 very few in the u.s. want to hear if you were to point to one thing that makes some muslims hate the usa
1:03 pm
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 u.s. secretary of state cheered at the news yes we came we saw that 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 can we expect these people they have no hope their
1:04 pm
economies are destroyed. they're calling for foreign invaders of course this kind of thing is going to happen when the tragedy in libya happened in your national community wholeheartedly condemned the attacks on american diplomats but the u.s. for its part has been quite full like a tipping 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 saw them behind what's happening a reasoning which basically allows them to avoid addressing the deeper issues in washington i'm going to. london based journalist blogger joins us now to give us. a very good evening to you thanks be with us now this latest wave of violence seems to be subsiding as we're seeing at the moment do you think the morgue's of what are the stable or is it more washington is damage control is working what's the real
1:05 pm
picture do you think. i mean it was inevitable that sooner or later the process will have to subside that can't go on forever and i very much doubt these men of us government has had any good result at all i mean after all we are protecting freedom of speech here this is filmmaker. was entitle the american constitution. to make it feel mohammed the only reason why movements are protesting is because there is. in islam it's forbidden to portray mohammed in any way. i think are insulting but it does raise the question why this film and the other the other material just a couple of clicks away on the internet the could be equally as insulting what if this film i don't know. anybody i don't think anybody knows i think it was
1:06 pm
a pretext it was for me and it is for man t. . i carried out by radical islamists this is obvious by the same time why did so many museums become who were so easily provoked this and the reason is that because as i said easy has very strict laws sharia law. that. smoke damage from be portrayed but the problem is that they are trying to impose those all over the world all muslims have to comply or no muslims as well as muslims are compelled sharia law this is what islam means submission of the submission is not just for muslims it's for everybody and no more so we should stand firm this is adult really thought us to protect our rights there's no reason why in america or even any living america can make it feel.
1:07 pm
in fact you should know more about mohammad we know so lisa. in the west you know what i mean i guess the film we're talking about. was a low budget film. solve it it was pretty against a line you can see where people could take offense but anyway let's talk about what some in pakistan that's been the latest hot spot pakistan's role in minister. last forty eight hours to put a bounty on the head of the still make it ban the controversial video and his love about officials insisting it's not reflective of government policy so that's really the case. where that it reflects government policies or not the fact is that any civilized tree. a government made this is an incitement to murder not only he should resign he should be arrested he's committed a crime i mean this we go back to the point i was making before this tells you
1:08 pm
something not just out of extreme it is something our whole culture of the all counts. they obviously there must be a lot of people in our town who are behind position of people like the railway minister otherwise he wouldn't be allowed to stay there in his position and to make these statements with impunity and that we've only got about thirty seconds left for you because we're going to ask you positional number of washington about what you think america's going to do next washington's no pledge to avenge the killing that some parts of the threat of saddam has what next what america will do next i can't predict i doubt that it will start another war but i know what america should do america should stop giving every question to look at battered wife syndrome here if you try to change your if you are battered wife and you try to change your house you are not going to me change you have to change you know says let's let's

1:19 pm
an end to the movement after months of camping out here in the financial district the body part to what seems to be the peak of occupy hundreds of protesters are back here on the first anniversary of the movement to show that it's very much alive. 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 the wrong longer represents people who don't have the money to compete and one of occupies key achievements so far triggering a national dialogue about what matters 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
1:20 pm
like the civil rights movement it would say that you know it 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 the same are what will bring tangible change to the u.s. as the party. the rest and some to turn bahrain's majority shiite population from campaigning for equal rights they were out in force again this last week in their efforts to convince the ruling western but want to keep to end repressions but it didn't take long for the police to move in with tear gas rubber bullets to disperse the crowds and detained dozens of protesters since their campaign took hold twenty months ago around one hundred people have died here thought he's also targeted key figures like opposition leader who's been jailed for taking part in rallies and stoking support as the us with investigates the response
