part in this place in the cool of a cell in a cooler who is in hiding and america but as the energy and reports his amateur film was only a palace for fury that has people. it's. 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. protest or wrecked it if united states writ large or it us policy in 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 that stupid film that nobody has seen causes people to assassinate ambassadors 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 the very
8:03 pm
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 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 of the us a place they 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 are the result to me expect these people to have no hope their economies are destroyed they see. we're calling theatre we're 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. france was also targets of this week after french magazine published caricaturist of prophet mohammad police in paris arrested twenty

one people for the fine the ban on protests rallies now france has a wes and hopes the largest muslim population at around five million their outrage over the latest cartoons was then compounded by the far right leader in the heart who wants a ban on the public wearing of muslim headscarves france they sternness robert always says paris only has itself to blame for falling out of favor with followers of islam. the government is in a very difficult position because of their policy in syria and because of their various inconsistent. is alarmed all french leaders like most european leaders are in the in the nato buying they've committed themselves to nato tied up with nato france under so cozy committed itself more strongly than at any time since general de gaulle to nato and so there is the usual sore stick and carrot from from washington so that there's that aspect of it and also they want to appear to be
8:06 pm
country in a way 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 stick to their line that they allow free speech which of course is only allowed in front on certain subjects. and if you prefer that we have r.t. dot com our work in our eye on the latest developments of the on the protests over the u.s. produced film of course and the family of the fallen u.s. ambassador to libya as as well. just out of the media for making the concept of office private diaries found at the scene of the tragedy public more on that all the details are to dot com. now in georgia the prisoner abuse scandal

8:12 pm
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 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. . party. and still to come to china and japan say it's world this food the spark that once again as brazen calls office a liberation to mark forty years of the plots of toys with soap and all over some uninhabited islands we'll tell you why a little bit later also. when they stand up in public and say we oppose this torture we oppose these autocratic regimes.
8:13 pm

me marina costs are now china has called off a celebration marking forty years of diplomatic ties with japan that's because of they're on guard for a group of strategic islands they both lay claim to mass protests have been held for out the week across both china and japan with some turn in violence no one lives over the speeds of the archipelago so to hold vast reserves of natural resources beijing also slammed the uighurs for building up military activity in the asia pacific region which it claims is a boxer in tokyo to challenge china and such to speak out its national affairs and the fans are the last liles solves the elusive washington it's far more than simply an onlooker. but they had to say the secretary of defense that he fears that there are these territorial dispute could be the war between japan and china he also expressed that the united states is going to support the pad so that means that if people come to blows let's hope let's say that the china would send their naval
8:18 pm
force to try to apply the lesson he said each force if they if they change fire a bit of course china tries to follow their measures like try to locate. them further south then the united states would eat turkey that will pick the sea lanes of communication and that could lead to a major regional war i mean at least to be. in the us once china will deal there. there are some clampdowns haven't deterred bahrain's majority shiite population from campaigning for equal rights they were out in force again this week in their efforts to convince the ruling western backed monarchy and the repression but i didn't take long for the police to move in with tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse the crowds and detain thousands of protesters since our campaign to call twenty months ago around a hundred people have died here courses have also targeted the feeders like opposition leader nothing over job has been jailed for taking part in rallies and

8:21 pm
government says nothing to longstanding historical connection between britain and bahrain which was in fact holland in seventy one certainly the association with the u.s. fifth fleet there 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 was there a process 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 much 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 numb didn't pick games but it
