3:01 pm
you're watching the weekly here on r.t. with me kevin owen it's our round up of the big stories of the last seven days and vehement anti american protests have been shaking the muslim world for nearly a fortnight now but they've lost little steam either tens of thousands of demonstrated in several countries with rallies turning specially violent in pakistan more lately at least twenty people were killed there friday in clashes with police who were cracking down on mobs targeting the american diplomatic missions there meantime 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 the caller purcel in a cooler who's hiding in america right now and you can report for r.t. next his film though was only
3:02 pm
a catalyst for fury that has deeper roots it seems. the line house keeps saying it was just the anti islamic video that caused the muslims wrath across the world this is not a case of a protester wrecked it at the united states really large or at u.s. 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 what out there for two months well it is 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 muslims 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 makes some muslims hate the usa it would be. hypocrisy over democracy. while
3:03 pm
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 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
3:04 pm
economies are destroyed they see they're calling for foreign invaders of course this kind of thing is going to happen when the tragedy in libya happened be our 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 one. 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 same type of 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 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 and two ministers a step down of the scandal while the president replaced prison staff was police
3:05 pm
offices but demonstrators say that's not enough they're calling for the prosecution of everyone responsible for the abuse revelations come just days before parliamentary elections the government's popularity already falling and his legal case cannot trust. the public is in fact still so shocked and angry that there are comparing the footage from georgia for those with back from guantanamo except it convenes suspected terrorists like here we're talking about georgia in me another factor irritating the public right now is the recent arrest of one of the poor meters of the school paul just mentioned that she ignored and he was detained on saturday by traffic police so lightly or officially for not abiding to be authorities orders he was put in prison for ten days but it is reported that he was there when he climbed the wheel off before stopped by the police early are to marry me to the marital slaughtered all this release the video of what they were to the crowds that were used to be one of the senior staff members of the who believes
3:06 pm
that in b.c. place the person only shot me or p.c.b. also he also said that the interior minister filmed the video himself and personally showed it to president saakashvili all of this is definitely a huge blow to be a mutual theo cornice since the election to parliament is going up on the first of october at a boarding feeling in his rules both president saakashvili and the ruling party have already almost up to twenty percent of all supporters. well there's more to come from the former stuff warden of the infamous georgian prison who leaked the have received videos his name is that he tells his story to us next hour again. over under ninety people were detained as occupy wall street protest movement one year anniversary this last week hunter has descended on new york's financial district and try to block the entrance the city's stock exchange. reports.
3:07 pm
the occupy wall street movement is here after its inception. takes the big apple by storm in a few hours i think by the. norse back and behind barricades from the wee hours of the morning. marches and acts of civil disobedience all day long images that have become all too familiar throughout the past year reoccurring protesters thrown to the ground people there to document the action knocked down the activists attempting to help others wrestled by police. arms twisted hancock's left and right over one hundred 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 that nearly have a democracy for years now occupy has fought for eradicating wealth inequality and
3:08 pm
social and economic injustice and the us give people jobs give people an education give people help you you have to help the masses. no accountability for wall street bankers here is after the family 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 flourish. 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 sukiyaki park during 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. 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
3:09 pm
us out here in the first place of economic disparity and a political system that no 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 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.

3:11 pm
allegations that were stress caused be plagued by accusations which have cost him his career last may a new york hotel maid accused him of attempted rape he was later cleared the charges. up ahead the flights of the french are finding things are getting too taxing. they are quite responsible for this crisis and they should be more than the rest since they have more meat on site but instead the big good is a bailing out of places where they don't have to share their poles of caution with anyone else. the sun rises over what seems like and most forest here in the new directions quite hundred kilometers north of life are stalked as in much of the world it's disappearing at a catastrophic rate. mortgages

both illegal and those finding ways to outsmart the system filing down the forests of the more secure region for them profit goes well beyond the future of our planet and the result could be an ecological crisis the world wildlife fund for nature makes regular trips to help local rangers do what little they can to stop the logging but it's not easy logger set up traps making them hard to reach in an already rough terrain and have mastered ways to jump through legal loopholes this. is a nature reserve were only sanitary logging of disease trees is a lie out according to law and not a single berry can be picked up along like this used their sanitary logging permit to cut down absolutely healthy trees and sell the profitable timber over the border in china we are on the hunt for illegal loggers and it's not going to be easy to forests. and our chances are slim now for now we can stay in our dreams but as soon
3:13 pm
as we find tracks we'll have to drop our wheels and get out silently in order not to scare them off alexander someone has been a ranger for over twenty five years he can spend weeks at a time tracking a single group of loggers easier to work. with 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 twelve tractor trails are very fresh which means that we need to be quiet in order to not scare them off as we get closer. to 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 overwhelmingly outnumbered there are too few rangers working in the region and the w w f says the government isn't doing enough to stop it.
3:14 pm
and according to. the guys in the forest through this still. no one tries to stop them in just five years the force will be gone. what will the people who live afterwards do. it's a question more and more people are aware of today claim. change in the safety of our environment as a whole are being discussed around the world and perhaps it's those small steps that might be a start to people living in harmony with nature. world . science technology innovation all the developments around

russia we've got the future covered. hello again you're watching a weekly here on our team from moscow with me kevin oh in the wrestling climbed haven't deterred bahrain's majority shiite population from campaigning for equal rights they're out in force again this last week in their efforts to try to convince the ruling western backed want to keep to end repressions but it didn't take long for the police to move in with tear gas and 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 the authorities have also targeted key figures like opposition leader now bill read who's been jailed for taking part
3:16 pm
in rallies and stoking support this laura smith investigates the response from western nations though remains strangely muted compared to the deep animosity towards others in the region. but i think i also find a light 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 that 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 normally still 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 includes the millions of people who were just released in the last day or two.
3:17 pm
says have not stopped. of course the use of sectarianism as. is their. teargas more than that is the kidnapping he 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 whose 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 antigovernment protests in the resulting crackdown around one hundred have been killed with sixteen hundred in jail including sixty children and full 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 to long standing historical connection between britain and
3:18 pm
bahrain which was in fact holland in seventy one certainly the 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 have been a common sight at the u.k.'s major events this summer king how mad 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
3:19 pm
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 the metropolitan police's 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 at this moment has. the bahraini opposition and their supporters aren't calling for intervention but
3:20 pm
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 a smith london. some of france's richest people are packing up the designer suitcases and taking their families and wealth abroad it's because the president's plane that hit them with a seventy five percent income tax. explains now aiming at the highest earners to plug the budget gap might create a bigger hole instead. when the world's fourth richest men a frenchman bernard i know asked for belgian citizenship some of his compatriots took offense with one left wing french newspaper publishing this image with this headline the mayor of this area in the brussels capital region is confirmed has indeed establish residence here but the french tycoon denies his move had anything to do with french president francois laws one to impose a seventy five percent income tax on those earning above one million but many
3:21 pm
suspect otherwise and the rich have become the subject of much discussion. they are quite responsible for this crisis they should pay more than the rest since they have more me. because it is the people who are responsible for the crisis. so. it depends on the rich bankers who contributed to the crisis should pay as well. along to set to soak the rich even more as he struggles to raise the money to fill a thirty billion euro hole in the country's finances the tactic of mr. against president sarkozy was to say that sarkozy was the president of the rich friends of income tax rates going up but on top of that. and then the top of the state taxes. and on top top top of that we had the seventy four percent tax that's where really
3:22 pm
thinking about moving outside friends started but the move did go down well with everyone including some french taxpayers who fear having to foot the bill if the tax the rich strategy fails all their fears are well founded as businesspeople consider losing three quarters of their income across there simply unable to bear like thirty year old entrepreneur jamie to fetch he hasn't made the jump just yet but he says he may find himself with no choice is clearly that the course. it that's that that's found. that's found a haven in france. which which basically promotes stigmatize ation of success wealth and bishan and so on and france is definitely worth its taxes to a certain extent but if the don't work in my head anymore if i'm certain you're create more value than for others then that i do for myself with the implementation
3:23 pm
of those seventy five percent and so on clearly i will relocate as an individual and become a tax it is an a for another country like belgium for example but belgians have already taken to the streets to protest against what they call a lack of morality of the rich who come to their country to avoid a certain taxes in francis case this super tax may affect as little as three thousand people out of sixty six million and if that elite minority continues heading for the door the deficit hole will only grow and a lot it may be forced to embrace the one policy he rejected throughout his election campaign a stereotype. tester sylvia r.t. brussels. coming up after the break we reveal the deep rooted deceit is calling americans out of millions.
3:24 pm
the friendship asian of russia has started again after two hundred years up at the . jet the emperor napoleon has arrived from overseas to lead the army i have to really take my time to prepare myself to get it right. the bloody battle near moscow is going to start over. james brown will reveal the victor the soldiers are back to do it all again.
3:25 pm
3:27 pm
3:28 pm
let's get. back. to. we say we live in the capital is big society but the bad mood. capitalism is our way of life the market system its highest expression our media hypes it in quasi religious terms even if its impact is sometimes quite negative and even debated in classrooms can't we agree that capitalism is an economic system a system for the production and distribution of things we need one i want to treat that not the kind you think i'm about government to there have to be a legal basis for an economic system to operate.
3:29 pm
most of us recognize we live in an inherently volatile system problem free but so the conventional wisdom goes better than any alternative many still believe the free market is our salvation even as our economy has crashed brought down to not just by greed but calculated scams and schemes the slow out of the intent of our laws in ridged a few and devastated the economy leading to a massive loss of jobs homes and personal wealth. in two thousand and six my film in debt we trust warned of a coming economic collapse. the stock think the next great economic crisis mr bush will be brought about by the debt which it will create an economic crisis so deep that of threats as i was called.
