color you're watching the weekly here on r.t. with me marina course around this of course our roundup of the big stories of the last seven days and first we start with the vehement answer american protests which have been shaking there was limbo world for nearly two weeks now but the last little scene in greece riot police used tear gas and pepper spray to disperse demonstrators on sunday just days after rallies turned violent especially in pakistan now at least twenty people were killed there on friday in clashes with police who cracked down on mobs targeting american diplomatic missions meanwhile some pakistani officials have condemned the statement by the railways minister who offered one hundred thousand dollars to kill the maker of the controversial film that sparked the protests first also called on taliban and al qaida brothers soon
6:02 pm
to take part in assassinating a cooler selling akula who's in hiding currently in america but ask can reports this amateur film was only a catalyst for fury that has deepened. the white house keeps saying it was just the anti islamic video that caused the muslims wrath across the world this is not a case of. protester wrecked it of the united states writ large or it 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 so if you know you think it's stupid film that nobody has seen causes people to assassinate ambassador to storm the embassy and the question the us media keep asking why do so many millions of hate the usa but the answers they're getting are the answers very few
6:03 pm
in the us want to hear if your 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 government or another act of violence a rebel mob executing colonel qadhafi the us so true state cheered at the news yes we came re sorry he died but that. washington's failure to condemn all violence equally has prompted radicals to take an even more aggressive course if
6:04 pm
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 to have no hope their economies are destroyed they see it would be. calling order foreign invaders of course 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 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 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 well france was also targets of this week after a french magazine published caricatural as of prophet muhammad's police in paris arrested twenty one people for the final ban on protests rallies now france has
6:05 pm
a western europe's largest muslim population around five million their outrage over the latest cartoons was then compounded by far right leader marie upon who wants a ban on the public wearing of muslim headscarves front space journalists reports are in a paris only has itself to blame for falling out of favor with followers of islam. the government using a very difficult position because of their policy in syria and because of their various inconsistency. is law all french leaders like most european leaders are in the in the nato buying they committed themselves to nature tied up with nato france under sarkozy committed itself more strongly than any time since general de gaulle to nato. there is the usual sore stick and carrot from from washington so that there's that aspect of it i'd also they want to appear to be punching above
6:06 pm
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 terrorism on monday and condemn it on tuesday and 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 want to stick to their line that they allow free speech which of course is only a loud in front on certain subjects. and those laws want to come here and i see like china and to parents territorial disputes which a spark of once again and the sets facing because of the celebration to mark forty years of the plastic ties with tokyo all over some uninhabited islands tell you why a little bit later. but first in georgia the prisoner abuse scandal has now lets
6:07 pm
a group of opposition activists going on a hunger strike they want the release of several arrests of colleagues who are among thousands protesting after a leaked video showed live on that's what you and rape of and made spy jail guards now the two ministers have set down over the scandal while the president took place person staff with police officers but demonstrators say that's not enough and are calling for the prosecution of everyone responsible for the. their relations come just days before parliamentary elections were the government's popularity only ready for. this kind of has more. the public is back to full shocked and angry that there are comparing the footage from the georgian for those would vary from one kind of well except it convenes suspected terrorist plot here we're talking about or georgia in me another factor irritating the public right now is the recent arrest of one of the foreign leaders obesity report just got you to react he was detained on saturday by truck people these are visually we're not abiding to the
6:08 pm
authorities orders he was put in prison for ten days but it is reported that he wasn't even the crime the wheel of the car stopped by the police early or demanded . meet the man who started all the severe leaks in their videos to the crowds that we used to be one of the senior staff members of the body for that n.b.c. claim that personally shot many of these videos but 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 since me election to all and it's coming up on the first of october fourteenth you believe in. both president saakashvili and the ruling party have already lost up to twenty percent of supporters. and there's more to come from the former staff more than at the end from his georgian president who leaked the horrific videos but what about the cards that tells his side of the story to artsy
6:09 pm
and about twenty minutes. now over one hundred eighty people were detained as allco also protesters marked the movement's one year anniversary this week active as the sun their new york's financial district then tried to block the entrance to the city's stock exchange season a situation are reports. after the occupy wall street movement was here after its inception the takes the big apple by storm in for a few hours i think i think it was more spac 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 oh activists attempting to help others wrestled by police. arms twisted and
6:10 pm
cops left and right over a hundred and eighty people arrested 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 we don't really have a democracy for a year now occupy has fought for eradicating wealth inequality and social and economic injustice and the us give people jobs give people an education give you to help you you have to help the man. no accountability for wall street bankers years after becoming a collapse the scene. that was just 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 all over the west but now have cleared out would put an end to the movement after months of camping out here in the financial. since
6:11 pm
the comedy 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. 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 triggering a national dialogue about what matters to the majority of america it's 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 it still has
