right and if you move. from the front stoop. down don't come. this news and the week's top stories here on ars see dozens more people are killed in clashes across the muslim world in a second week i don't see american riots sparked by the film which mocks islam. any spark of tension between asians powerhouses to chinese surveillance ships have entered territorial waters near a disputed islands in the east china sea which japan claims ownership to. zero public tolerance for prisoner abuse and the arrests of activists in georgia where demonstrations continue their reaction to leaked footage but framed as he's behind

bars. and the occupy wall street movement marks its one year anniversary with a demo in new york that saw over one hundred eighty activists arrested. you're watching the weekly here on r.t. with me marina costs about the some of the big stories of the last seven days now we start with the vehemence anti american protests which have been sprouting up around the world for almost two weeks now in greece rise police used tear gas and pepper spray to disperse demonstrators on sunday this was just days after riley search especially violence in pakistan at least twenty people were killed there on friday in clashes with police who cracked down on the mob targets an american diplomatic mission it's. meanwhile some pakistani officials have condemned this

statement by the railways minister who offered one hundred thousand dollars super kill the maker of the controversial film that sparked the protests here first also called on taliban and al qaeda brothers to take part in assassinate in the cool of a cell in a cooler who is in hiding in america but this guy that you can report says amateur film was only a catalyst for fuel that has deeper it's. 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. protests directed at 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 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 right out there for two months but what if you

know you think it's stupid film that nobody seen causes people to assassinate ambassador and to storm the embassy and the question the u.s. media keep asking why do so many millions of hate the usa but the answers they're getting are the answers very few in the u.s. 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 goal like the numerous terrorist attacks in syria washington seems to approve of them as long as they are targeting supporters of the outside government or another act of violence a rebel mob executing colonel gadhafi or the u.s. . so true 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 are the results we expect these people to have no hope their economies are destroyed they see their calling for 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 u.s. 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. france was also targeted this week after french magazine published characters floors of prophet muhammad's police in paris so i guess that's one to one people for define the ban on protest rallies now france has a western europe's largest muslim population at around five million their outrage over the latest cartoons was sent compounded by far right leader marine hong who wants a bad on the public where in all of muslim headscarves transposed journalist robert owned a says paris only has itself to blame for falling out of favor with followers of islam. the government as you know very difficult position because of their policy in syria and because of their various inconsistency. is a large pool of french leaders like most european leaders in the in the nato bombing they've committed themselves to nature tied up with nature. france under so

cozy committed itself more strongly than at any time since general google to nato and say 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 punching above their weight to use a british expression in international politics because they want to keep their veto in the united nations so they are in a difficulty on the other hand there is a growing feeling in left wing circles that the government's policy is nonsense you cannot support it 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 have 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 only allowed in front on certain subjects. now you can also check out r.t. dot com we're keeping our eye on the latest developments surrounding the steering

of a b. and c. as one film and very did not supply and how the family of the fallen that's the last letter to libya the most prominent victim of the scientific language has lashed out i have been ethiopia making the content of his private diary public all the details of r.t. dot com. tension between beijing and sold has been sparked yet again following a week long standoff two chinese patrol ship south entered the territorial waters surrounding the disputed islands in the east china sea also known as senkaku in japan and china which claims ownership to for trying the ships are also patrolling just outside of the consider own now this comes after all trying these patrol ships were seen to have left the waters over the weekend and just one day earlier china

postponed a ceremony marking the what do you found the worst of the establishment of the ties with japan over the territorial spat mass protests have been held throughout the week of course both china enterprise with some turn in violence no one lands on the disputed archipelago but it's such a hold vast reserves of natural resources beijing also slammed the u.s. for building up military activity in the asia pacific region which it claims is bolstering so go to challenge china in such the speeds international affairs and defense analysts and liars as the police washington is for more than simply an onlooker. but it does say the secretary of defense that he fears that there are these territorial disputes could lead to war between japan and china he also expressed that the united states is going to support your pad so that means if people come to blows let's hope that let's say that china would send their naval

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. the further south then the united states would eat turkey to open the sea lanes of communication and that could lead to a major regional war at least to be the u.s. of one side and china will deal there. now in georgia the present abuse scandal has now led to a group of opposition activists going on a hunger strike they want the release of several arrests of colleagues who were among the thousands protesting that's after the video shut the lights on that's what for and rape of a night spy jail guards to ministers have set down over the stand over the parsons who placed prison staff with police officers but that once writers say that's not enough and are calling for the prosecution of everyone responsible for the. revelation comes days before parliamentary elections the government's popularizing

already called like our citizen going to school off has altered his house. the public is in fact shocked and angry that the comparing the footage shown forging for those with learn from guantanamo except. suspected terrorists was here we're talking about george and me another factor irritating the public right now is the recent arrest of one of the peacekeeping force just think you've got to be thinking react he was detained on saturday by traffic police officer we were not abiding to be a police he was put in prison for ten days but it is reported that he wasn't even the time the wheel or stopped by the police early or to manage to meet the man who wanted to be clear video even to the crowd we used to be one of the senior staff members of the gun even brazilian b.b.c. firstly. these videos he also said that the interior minister filled video

from cell phone personally showed it to president saakashvili this is definitely a huge blow to be a mutual feel since me. for women is growing up on the first look to work in reporting she believes now. both president saakashvili and the ruling party have already lost up to twenty percent of supporters. over one hundred eighty people were detained as occupy wall street protesters marked the movement's one year anniversary this week activists descended or new york's financial district then tried to block the entrance to the city's stock exchange are teasing us a sense of can i was there for us. but i. have heard that the occupy wall street movement is here after its inception of takes the big apple by storm in full force i think five years that it is up to so it 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 control there to document the action knocked down. activists attempting to help others wrestled by police. arms twisted and cops left and right over a hundred and 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 then we don't really have a democracy for a year now occupy has fought for eradicating wealth inequality and social and economic injustice in the us give people jobs give people education get good wealth you you have to help the mess was. no accountability for wall street bankers years after comic collapse. that was down it still has

people outraged expecting it maybe 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 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 the party hard 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 wrong longer represents people who don't have the money to compete and one of occupies key achievements so far at 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 the party. turned us in author christopher hitchens says the authorities oh my god a mistake barbarous for dancing all the parts of this with force. i think the occupy movement was a seismic shift not only in terms of the discourse but in terms of identifying the

centers of power and how to respond to that i think we have to look at occupy as a tactic because the ruling class has responded exclusively in the language of force by trying to eradicate it race these encampments rather than respond rationally hundreds of thousands of americans have lost their unemployment benefits there's been no attempt by the ruling elite to address the chronic under employment and unemployment this political paralysis is very dangerous because it or never receives a backlash we're not guaranteed that or would be nonviolent or that it will remain inclusive in a way that the occupy movement has been. now there's lots more so it's a calm here and i feel like the flights of the french were fine and things are getting a little. they are quite responsible for this crisis and they should be more than the rest says they have more meetings but instead of the big donors are

bailing out to places where they don't have to share their piles of cash with them and they want to else. coming up for a seraph's on clampdowns have been deterred by her and majority shiite population form campaigning for in cool rights they're out in force again this week in their efforts to convince the ruling was from back markets and the repression but it didn't take long for the police to move in with tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse the crowds and the same thousands of protesters says her campaign so-called twenty months ago of round one hundred people have died as he's have also targets of key figures like opposition leader in the bill over job who's been jailed for taking part in rallies and still can support those who are some of the investigation so a spot on this from western nations remains strangely compared to the deep on the mall city towards others in the. 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 there will be a day of reckoning for this dreadful regime off in arms about syria and they put their money where their mouth is giving five million pounds in so-called lethal 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 all that leaders remain conspicuously still there g.m. has not spared any means of repression torture has not seized at all and that includes the one is of people who were just released in the last day or two. since have not stopped. of course the use of sectarianism as. is there well for you guys what more than that is the kidnapping they would not if

you people from each village say three or four beat them up tortured 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 anti-government protests in the resulting crackdown around a hundred has been killed 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 longstanding historical connection between britain and bahrain which was in fact in holland in seventy one certainly the association with the u.s. fifth fleet well. there is the oil problem and that's the banking problem in the long term this is harmful to our interests because sooner or later all the gulf

markets are going to disappear. and then the regimes that succeed will not be friendly country which is. 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 to deliberate games but it goes further and deeper than that despite the brutal crackdown between july and 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 host this torture we oppose these autocratic regimes and democracy only then will the british government have any credibility whatsoever and at this moment has. the bahraini opposition and their supporters aren't calling for intervention but they do want the international community to condemn the regime that they say is at least as oppressive as the syrian regime of western powers are so desperate to get rid of. now let's take a look at some other world news in britain this hour at least one person has been

killed in an explosion outside a hotel in damascus the bomb hidden in the blood bags loaded just meters from where an opposition conference was. the attack happened as the free syrian army recently announced it's moving its command center from the turkish border into syria itself . two separate sunni insurgent attacks have hit iraq's capital claiming the lives of at least five people for a police general and his assistant were killed in a drive by shooting in the western baghdad the other incidents occurred in the shiite neighborhood north of the capital an explosive device placed under a minibus went off killing three people and seven others. libyan authorities have vowed to break up all illegal militias following the american ambassadors and murder earlier this month came shortly after the country's powerful militia group announced it was disbanding if you hours earlier security forces and

protesters from the city of benghazi and set fire to another militias compound. now some of france's richest residents are packing up their designer suitcases and sake and their families and their wealth abroad it's because the president's plan and soon hit them with seventy five percent income tax cuts are silly explains how a man at the highest earners to plug the budget cap might create a bigger hole instead. when the world's fourth richest men a frenchman 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 the brussels capital region is confirmed has indeed establish residence here for 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 suspect otherwise and the rich have become the subject of much discussion. they are

quite responsible for this crisis and they should pay more than the rest since they have more. people who are responsible for the crisis. so. it depends on the rich bankers who contributed to the crisis. 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 to tactical. against president sarkozy west who says that's because he was a christian it's the rich friends of yours the income tax rates going up but on top of that. and then the top tax. and top top top of the seventy five percent tax that's where real 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 their fears are well founded as businesspeople consider losing three quarters of their income across there simply unable to bear like thirty year old entrepreneurs. he hasn't made the jump just yet here and he says he may find himself with no choice is clearly that the course. that that's that's that's found. that's found a haven in france. which which basically promotes stigmatize ation of success wealth and so on and france is definitely worth its taxes to a certain extent but if the men don't work in my head anymore if i'm certain you're create more value than not for others then that i do for myself with the implementation of the seventy five percent and so on clearly i will work. as an

individual and become a tax it is an a for another country like belgium for example but belgians of 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 france this 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 stared. tests are still here r t brussels. now coming up on all the fiery debate courtesy of cross. and has to stay with us.

would be so much brighter if you move from place to the pressure. starts on t.v. dot com. the friendship asian of russia has started again after two hundred years up at the. sub 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 i know. 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. but you know version twenty plows on our team.

welcome to cross talk a little about is it merely a squabble over a bunch of rocks in the pacific or beijing's projection of power to. growing competition for sovereign control over a number of pacific islands highlights the growing instability among them fourteen trading partners what is driving this competition nationalism at home or all important geopolitical interests. to cross-talk this island dispute i'm joined by bruce clinger in washington he's a senior research fellow at the heritage foundation also in washington we have

brian becker he is the national coordinator of the answer coalition and if we cross the mark selden he is a senior research associate in the east asia program at cornell university all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect i mean you can jump any time you want to market how would you characterize what's going on between china and its neighbors and all of these disputes in particular the one that's going on in the pacific right now well i'd like to begin by locating it within a series of territorial disputes in the asia pacific seeds this means we're not just talking about it china japan dispute we're also talking about a japan korea dispute over duck though we're talking about japan and ongoing dispute with russia over the northern islands as the japanese call them we're talking about disputes in the south china seas between china vietnam the philippines and others so something is going on very large and significant around territorial issues.
