why not. why not what's really happening to the global economy with. no holds barred look at the global financial headline news. report on our. relations between washington and cairo borrowing for a major test as president morsi is in the us of a growing tension between the way with the untapped market. david europe the filth you respond to music day defiance the bonnet the ceiling agrees muslims continue to vent their anger in the arab states. plus our poor in the u.k. over the billions spent on foreign aid and so huge salaries to british consultants and board of the programs while she told me that brace for her benefit concert and

price hikes. international news and comment live from moscow this is. the welcome to the program as american sentiment across the arab world gathers pace tension between washington and the largest the regional powers also grow the biggest question mark is over the future of american to gyptian relations and present morse's visit to the u.s. for the un general assembly might clarify its set make shoes and a habit for the head of his trip more secure washington i'm having a biased policy in the region and vowed to demonstrate more independence from the us than his predecessor. gauges the possibility of that actually happening. mohamed morsi came to power on promises to make could the capital of palestine and

open up egypt's corridor with gaza his presidency promised his supporters a chance to reclaim egypt some pride especially on the international stage one of the curious things is that the americans have been to egypt since morsi was elected and they congratulated him but morsi didn't rush off to united states he went to china instead and also to iran which was a diplomatic snub to you know it it states but the snub it seems more of a token gesture because when angry egyptians took to the streets to protest against the united states the muslim brotherhood kept in the background and president morsi criticism of the u.s. was muted dr saeed sadik a longtime observer of egyptian foreign policy says morsi cannot replace the united states with another world superpower but godless of how much he might want to to change your foreign policy or restructure it's a big process and you need alternatives and the alternative is not i don't think china is for. placement the fact is there for egypt to prosper and solve its

economic problems it still needs washington cairo receives close to two billion u.s. dollars a year in economic and military aid and so two and a half months into his presidency the new muslim brotherhood president is having to maintain an increasingly delicate balancing act his hardline supporters on the one hand the west and washington on the other prompting many observers to ask what if anything has changed since mubarak's era it today is not very different than it had been under mubarak egypt u.s. relations during the mubarak era or quite strong the u.s. is an important partner in economic partner for egypt and it would be very difficult for us to any president coming in during konami crisis to rock the boat but the recent violent demonstrations during. talks of a proposed one billion american dollars in debt relief to egypt and although

washington stresses this is merely temporary and there's no major shift in u.s. aid to egypt and the relationship between the two countries remains strained this wall was erected several days ago to prevent protesters from reaching the american embassy on the other side but there is no sign of anyone wanting to take it down a physical reminder of the growing barrier that now exists between cairo and washington but it's a barrier that neither side wants to make permanent because while morsi might be poles apart politically from his predecessor on the international front he's trading remarkably close policy r.t. . and earlier they gyptian leader gave an interview in which he said it's up to washington now to mend ties the handed me was explicitly said of america's conditional support for israel and that all dictators in the arab world most only tetra from people in the region find out what else he had to say to the american public as. in europe outrage over an american

film mocking islamizing golfing new countries clashes have now erupted in the greek capital as muslim protesters try to break through the u.s. embassy in athens forty people have been detained it follows that western science when muslims took to the streets after a french magazine published caricatures of prophet muhammad police in paris arrested twenty one people for defying a ban on protest rallies and reaction to the publications hundreds of students gathered in tehran to call for the expulsion of the french ambassador from around times based journalist robert harness tyrus only has itself to blame for falling out of favor with foreigners of islam. the government is in a very difficult position because of their policy in syria and because of their various inconsistent. is alarming all french leaders like most european leaders are in the in the nature. bind 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 washington so that there's that aspect of it and also they want to appear to be a country 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 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 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 only allowed in front on certain subjects. the syrian conflict has made many nations in the region see it's replications but in neighboring lebanon people are already feeling the clashes between those supporting

and opposing syria's president assad have the come a common sight on lebanese streets and everything points of the country are being dragged into the war. and if explains. another day another battle in syria. it's a war that has taken on increasingly sectarian tones that some fear could in gulf neighboring countries it's the states outside that are more vulnerable the neighbors of syria that could be said to be more vulnerable than syria itself called for gratian and civil war lebanon stands right in the path of the blast waves lebanon fought its own civil war on sectarian lines for fifteen years and now the syrian conflict is literally spilling across its border syrian troops have carried out incursions into lebanese territory while rebels take shelter in lebanese towns it has aggravated i'm healed wounds from the past storing fears of a new civil war that's already has had effect here in lebanon. the

polarized politics of lebanon. it is resulted in conflicts that have taken place in tripoli it is resulted. that have happened in beirut. of course vulnerable to this type of sectarian conflict lebanon sunni's mainly support syria's rebels including the powerful militant group hezbollah tend to back president bashar al assad a member of the alawite sect was divided between the groups that support that the syrian syrian regime and those people who actually. hoping and cup the lies in going there for what they scold the free syrian army nowhere is that divide more violently visible than in tripoli on the streets of lebanon's second largest city and sunni gunmen have been battling it out this is been

a flashpoint for years but the fear is the violence could spiral out of control and spread across the country when we arrived a shaky cease fire was being monitored by the lebanese army but we spoke to fighters on both sides who showed no willingness to disarm. ok. you know this is the leader of a sunni militia here in tripoli is babble to ban islam i asked him whether peace with his opponents is possible. as long as assad remains in power there won't be peace in syria lebanon or iraq or powerless done through be no peace while he is in force and neighboring general must send an alawite fighter shows me the destroyed remains of his home when asked to explain the recent fighting with his sunni neighbors this was his response not the dollars just we are defending ourselves against machines of terror and mercenaries who are being brought in from abroad. even the push to defend islam is most unifying figure the prophet muhammad wasn't enough to bridge lebanon's sick tarion divide in beirut separate protests against

an anti islam video has turned tens of thousands of she is to the streets days later a hardline sunni cleric who gathered his own supporters in the capital he may have been united in their outrage but protesters carried flags that left no doubt which side of the syrian divide they're on for now lebanon is holding together but some residents here wonder whether this is just the calm before the storm this is such as are going to go. they're going to have their start they can start their careers in the streets here that. they're going to fight like that so it's never going to get this shelled out buildings stands in beirut green line which for nearly two decades divided this city journal lebanon's bitter civil war christian communities lived over here to the east muslim communities lived across the street to the west but as the armed conflict in syria continues to escalate just across the border many here in lebanon fear that the fragile peace could yet again be shattered and

that sectarian tensions could once again plunge this nation of nearly four million into another civil war for our team and lucy california in beirut. coming up a little later this hour in georgia of thousands of people keep up their protests against the police abuse of invades several top georgian officials have already lost their jobs but it's not well in the anger of the people who are demanding all those involved in this standoff held accountable. and in the business later this hour a legendary investor a german rogers is a very bullish on the russian ruble this story and a lot more in about ten minutes. but now while many households in the u.k. struggle to make their ends meet the government is tightening its grip squeezing out additional cash to me just international status britain has now topped the list of foreign aid spend does but is also used to boycott reports the multi-million
