from the still christian. stance on t.v. dot com. place news the week's top stories thousands more people accused in clashes across the muslim world in the second week of anti american riots sparked by the huge boxes. zero public tolerance for prisoner abuse and the arrest of activists in georgia but demonstrations continue in reaction to leave but also to behind. the occupy wall street movement marks one year anniversary with the demo new york saw over one hundred eighty activists the rest.
2:01 pm
you watching the week later on r t with me kevin owen it's our roundup of the big stories of the last seven days and first vehement anti american protests have been shaking the muslim world for nearly a fortnight now but they've lost little steam tens of thousands of demonstrated in several countries with rallies telling especially violent in pakistan at least twenty people were killed there on friday in clashes with police crackdown on the mobs targeting american diplomatic missions some pakistani officials have condemned a statement by the railways minister for offering 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 a cooler purcell in a cooler who's currently in hiding in america but is gonna change you can reports now here's how much the film was only a catalyst for fear that has deep. it's. the white house keeps saying it was just
2:02 pm
the anti islamic video that calls the muslims wrath across the world this is not a case of. protests to rectify 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 well it's you know you think it's 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 muslims hate the usa but the answers they're getting are the answers very few in the u.s. want to hear if you're to point to one thing that makes some muslims hate the us a it would be. hypocrisy over democracy. while america
2:03 pm
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 is 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 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 economies are destroyed they see. they're calling for foreign invaders of course
2:04 pm
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 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 of them behind what's happening a reasoning which basically allows them to avoid addressing the deeper issues in washington i'm going to check and france is also targeted but by this week after a french magazine published caricatures of the prophet muhammad police in paris arrested twenty one people for defying a protest rallies france's western europe's largest was the population of around five million their outrage over the latest cartoons was then compounded by far at least have read the person who wants a ban on the public wearing of muslim headscarves transpose cheerless robot on a
2:05 pm
says paris only has itself to blame for falling out of favor with followers of. the government is in a very difficult position because of their policy in syria and because of their various inconsistency. is alarming all french leaders like most european leaders are in the in the nato buying they've committed themselves to nature tied up with nato france under sarkozy committed itself more strongly than at any time since general you go to nato. air is the usual sore stick and carrot trum from washington so that there's that aspect of it i'd 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 surfboards that the government's policy is nonsense you cannot support terrorism. on monday and condemn it on tuesday and support it
2:06 pm
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 got to stick to their line that they allow free speech which of course is our new allowed in france all certain subjects that's still to come china or japan keep on crossing so with. the celebration to mark forty years a diplomatic ties with you know all over some uninhabited islands we'll tell you why shortly. but next in georgia the prison abuse scandal has now led to a group of all physician activists going on hunger strike they want the release of several arrested colleagues who were among thousands protesting after a leaked video shed light on the torture and rape of inmates by jail guards two ministers to step down over the scandal while the president replaced prison stuff with police officers but demonstrators say that's not enough they're calling for the prosecution of everyone responsible for the abuse revelations come just days
2:07 pm
before parliamentary elections with the government's popularity already pulling piskun off. the public is back to full shocked and angry that there are comparing the footage from georgia for those with merit from one count of all except it convenes suspected terrorist plot here we're talking about were the georgian me another factor irritating the public right now is the recent arrest of one of the border meters of the student protest movement got to be ignored and he was detained on saturday by truck or police so widely or officially for not abiding to be authorities orders he was put in prison for ten days but it is reported that he wasn't even the crime the wheel of before stopped by the police early or to murder me to the medical fraud and all the release of the videos of i think to the crowd that we used to be one of the senior staff members of the who believe that in the b.b.c. claims personally shot me of these videos but he also said that he. syrian military

2:11 pm
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 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 and 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 in our party. gathered you can get updates and have our stories and much more
