u.s. embassy in yemeni capital of sanaa. these right here these are live pictures of what's going on right now outside the u.s. embassy compound in the city of sanaa. >> barbara, we understand you have been to that particular embassy. what can you tell us? >> those pictures are very familiar zoraida and christine. this embassy is located on a very busy, commercial street in the capital. what i can tell you this is one of the most secure embassies that the united states has. it looks like they are very close to that front gate situation. the yemeni forces control the street the outside perimeter of the embassy. there are checkpoints and anyone on that street who tries to approach the embassy is stopped well before they get there. this is a place that has seen many protests has seen attacks, seen attempted attacks. one of the most secure. but let's be very cautious here. we have seen the unrest at u.s. installations over the last few days. reports are the yemeni forces are trying to control

repeated u.s. statements that washington has no affiliation with the offensive internet movie that sparked this crisis aren't being listened to here. just religious passion and the blindness of a mob. and egypt's new president isn't doing much to calm things. president mohamed morsi from the muslim brotherhood says he supports protests against religious insults but also denounced attacks on foreign embassies. it was a condemnation but a couched one. egypt needs the west. morsi is looking for nearly $5 billion in loans from the international monetary fund. the protests in egypt and yemen are small, but not isolated. there have been angry demonstrations in 11 countries so far. half of them in places where washington supported protesters who toppled their regimes, bringing more democracy, but also unleashing deep hatred and zealotry that's now focused on u.s. properties overseas. >> joining us now live from cairo is nbc's chief foreign correspondent richard engel. richard, thanks for being here again.

the u.s. foreign service. but it's been many years since someone of this level has been killed in an attack like this. so i think there's going to be a lot of shockwaves through the state department. after all the u.s. has done for the libyans. using force to get rid of moammar gadhafi, to help libya stand up as it moved towards elections, as it tries to start anew. i think there's going to be a lot of gut checking right now about how the u.s. wants to proceed. not just with libya. but with a lot of countries in the middle east. i mean if you look at the islamic wave that has swept the middle east in terms of these revolutions, the u.s. was very apprehensive, that we are going to support democratic movements. but they also said, secretary clinton has also said that an election does not a democracy make. and so these countries are not going to necessarily hold up to their end of the bargain. there are diplomatic conventions about protecting u.s. facilities. about holding to democratic values. a

the u.s. is also dispatching about 50 u.s. marines, part of a rapid reaction force that could move quickly on any leads. barbara starr is following all these latest movements and joins us now from the pentagon. tell us more, barbara. >> reporter: i do need to jump in and amend one thing there. this is not a marine quick reaction force. this is basically a force of 50 marines only that will go to the u.s. embassy in tripoli, in the capital, and they will be there to provide security for the embassy installation and any americans that may need assistance in being evacuated out of the country. strictly a security force. they will not operate on the ground in libya. only for the embassy. okay. so, that said, what do we have -- u.s. drones continuing to fly in eastern -- over eastern libya. they have done that in the past. they look for intelligence, overhead imagery that they gather, to try and find essentially al qaeda or militant strongholds, camps, evidence of militant activity in eastern libya, east of benghazi, where they thi

two u.s. diplomatic compounds overseas. first libya where militants staged a protest outside the u.s. consulate in ben za lee leading to clashes with security forces and the death of a security department officer. >>> the other powder keg is in cairo where several men managed to scale the walls of the u.s. embassy. take a look at this. they tore down all the american flags. ian lee is live from cairo this morning. i want to start with what has caused all this outrage. >> reporter: well, zoraida, it focuses around a film. and the film is very amateurish. it's a mishmash of clips. it is really incoherent, i have watched the clip, but it has a lot of things the muslims would find offensive about their prophet. so this is what sparked the clashes that we saw last night when thousands of people gathered outside the u.s. embassy where a handful of protesters actually breached the embassy compound, tore down the american flag like you just saw and ripped it apart. and these protesters are also callin

the u.s. government according to many experts a large majority of the arab world has grown too familiar with the anti muslim sentiment america is accused of cementing the policy of the americans towards this part of the world is inadequate it doesn't call for dialogue doesn't call for development it doesn't call for progress it calls for the moving of those units because it puts american interests and some western interests a cause for war and the invasion of iraq as we have seen destruction of afghanistan no progress on the peace level in pakistan thinks the spark for it to you know all come out in violent forms as we can see now on the screen and this is what's happening within forty eight hours the fury that began in egypt spread to libya yemen lebanon and iran in afghanistan you tube was shut down but tensions in the muslim world seem to be only increasing there has been a lot of simmering nancy american feeling right across the entire world it's there it's worse in pakistan where all show

the u.s. embassies found themselves under attack by outraged mobs and in some cases forces fired on mobs with deadly consequences and all of it caused a dramatic shift in the presidential campaign as foreign policy suddenly took center stage. ben wedeman is back in cairo. it seems that this weekend there seems to be a cooling of heads to a certain degree in egypt. is that what you're seeing, ben? >> certainly among the leaders of the muslim brotherhood and in the administration of the egyptian president, there is an attempt to calm down the situation rhetorically. and certainly we've seen in messages conveyed by leaders of the muslim brotherhood and the egyptian president, they're trying to send a message of reassurance to washington. but at the same time they're kind of walking a tight rope between washington and the street here in egypt, where there is anger, where we have seen these protests really going on around the clock. and therefore there's a difference between what we're hearing in e

part of the anti-u.s. sentiment, and there is an anti-u.s. sentiment in the clashes today and in the protests on tuesday and in the various countries where the protests are taking plaes, the u.s. has been -- egypt has been a major ally for the u.s. to the extent that five different u.s. administrations supported our dictator, mubarak. i think the white house realized, because over the past few minutes i've been reading statements, the white house realized what a shocking statement that was and it looks like they're trying to back pedal from this idea that egypt has been demoted as an ally. i think everybody right now feels how sensitive the situation is and understands this political jockeying for power and again to reiterate, it's -- the revolution and its goals, freedom and dignity, but not be derailed. i think it's imperative for the u.s. administration as well as the egyptian administration to focus on those goals and not allow the right wing to derail us. >> mona, what is the reaction of people in egypt, though, to those statements, to t

the u.s. government is responsible and part of the obama administration's damage control work has been to make it clear that they too find this film despicable in hillary clinton's own words this gusting and reprehensible she also said this let me state very clearly and i hope it is obvious that the united states government had absolutely nothing to do with this video we absolutely reject its content and mass. but the words apparently did not make it to the right ears and the rage went on in egypt in libya in tunisia and in yemen people stormed u.s. embassies despicable violence became the price the leaders of those countries have paid for letting the mob vent out this initially but the u.s. appears to be in a difficult position now they can't really lesh out of those. yours or the people there because washington cheered so greatly for the changes that swept the region of the current levy and government essentially ols its powers in the united states also there are still questions as to whethe

the u.s. financial relation was this decision to back off the money market funds. do you see that as we have had some regulatory action on the banks, shadow banks much, much less, the money market funds are a part of the system, and they are busy saying we can't do this. does it leave -- it is and ought to be fsoc or what happens next? >> this is an important issue. in some ways, they have made the case already that the money market funds are a systemic issue. i think there has been a lot of work, and consensus around that, some of it done by some people in the audience here. i think now the fact that they have been unable to address this one of the things fsoc was put into place to do is address the situations where you have a systemic issue that isn't being address by the primary regulator. and so now this is very much in the fsoc's agenda. i think it has to become and if there is obviously complicated questions about exactly how you do this. one option is to be essentially put it back to th
