let's begin with yemen. the capital, sanaa, really the latest flashpoint in this wave of anti-american violence spreading across the muslim world. hundreds of protesters rioted outside the u.s. embassy in the capital of sanaa overnight. the crowds scaled the embassy walls. they smashed windows. you see them there, hanging, banging on the burning tires. yemeni security forces, they were firing shots into the air, just trying to disperse the crowds. you see here on the ground. yemen's embassy in washington has now already come forward, condemned this attack, and says the situation at the embassy is under control and there were no casualties. >> not just in yemen either. tensions running high in cairo too. riot police firing warning shots there and tear gas outside the u.s. embassy overnight, trying to keep hundreds of protesters from storming the building there. demonstrators angered by the anti-islam film produced in the u.s. they were throwing molotov cocktails and rocks at the embassy. six egyptian police o

, yemen. but didn't breach the wall. no one was killed in the attack. that's the report from the yemeni government. we'll keep you posted on "morning joe." as we told you at the top of this show, details still emerging about the deadly attack at the american consulate in libya that took the lives of four americans, including u.s. ambassador to libya, chris stevens. he was one of the first diplomats sent to benghazi. chris stevens is the sixth u.s. am balances door killed in the line of service. the last to die as a result of violence was adolph dubs, an envoy to afghanistan who was kidnapped and murdered in 1979. >>> a quick break from the real news. we huddle around the water cooler to watch one of the most bizarre high-speed bank robbery chases you will ever see. it began around 10:00 in the morning. four armed men held up a bank of america fleeing in a stolen black volvo suv, one of the safest vehicles on the road. los angeles county police caught up, an 80-minute 40-mile chase in south los

is still at large in yemen who fired many who killed many peaceful protesters in yemen and still now own a t.v. station and the people seen you know saleh and his family as allies and less family for example his son the still the head of the republican guards and a lot of people say if it wasn't for the u.s. then. they wouldn't be in the country they would have been either prosecuted and behind bars so they are know that some of this rhetoric some of this hatred is not only being spread to the west they're also attacks going on of the embassies of the u.k. and also of germany can you talk about that maybe and it's not necessarily anti-american sentiment but an anti. western sentiment i look i focus more on yemen and i really can't speak about what's going on in london because they haven't even looked into that but i think this and against any kind of violence and i don't think this you know express an anger toward anything especially when we're talking about freedom of speech should not be done this way but there is a lot of things behind this basically that is an anger and a built o

in the case of yemen and yemen is a very troublesome country especially to the major ally of snow states which is so they really have any instability in yemen or out of control instability in yemen could influence or impact the richest region in the world in terms of floral and credit and the stability of saudi arabia that's one of the main reasons why do the u.s. is there the second is the of course the a public one which is after nine eleven. being the most people from the qaeda are doomed or deemed to have to come from yemen so that's why the u.s. is trying to. get to the nipped in the bud basically way attacking people in yemen unfortunately i think empires. we've seen this time and again in history and it's seen that the u.s. is doing the same mistake it's creating more and more hatred by doing this for instance when does thirteen people were killed probably most of them if not all of them are not involved in any way or another in any terrorist activity so that it creates more resentment and wishes for people from didn't really to take up arms or become activists against the policy

air strikes and his vice president seems to be even more so because more strikes have happened in yemen so is it only the u.s. that is. advocating for these drone strikes to save american lives and kill or enemies in the process or is it yemen as well well there are some other factors at work here so the more complex issue first of all there are people who are opposed to the status quo in the middle east many of them may or may not be associated with al qaeda most of them or islamised said at the moment sunni islamists governments would want to stamp our are happy in many cases to see these people vanish so there's a willingness to work with us to see their political opponents if you will people who could be destabilizing vanished from the scene there's another aspect and that's money if you want to do business with the united states if you want to benefit from foreign aid especially a poor country like yemen then you're predisposed to cooperate with us and you're not going to obstruct us because to obstruct us puts you in a very difficult position and very quickly we are just about our

calls well the same thing happened in yemen do you think. unfortunately i believe one of the more nasty things that has been happening in pakistan is this policy the follow up attack in which the drone will take out would it be sooner militants would often are civilians and then do a second strike killing the people who go to aid those murdered in the original strike and that has been very disastrous in pakistan and last july in yemen we had a similar process occurring and that can do nothing but alienate the locals now while the wars in afghanistan and iraq get all the attention the air strike campaign in yemen is where you mentioned by washington what is the u.s. trying to hide if anything. well actually even the war in afghanistan didn't get that much attention joe recently. the us is hiding a large part of this whole debacle is assisting saudi arabia their partners as well in the fiasco as syria did the g.c.c. in nato are hiring mercenaries there as well this is a saudi's interest the conflict in yemen is it has been going on since the s

let's start in yemen. from my contacts on the ground, i just spoke with, they tell me the situation at the u.s. embassy in the capital is now stable, that the crowd, mostly been disperse it was anything but that in the last couple of hours. people, i am told, were able to work their way in over the wall, the perimeter wall, over the security bastion, into the main compound area in front of the main building. they torched vehicles, smashed windows. they stole items, tore down emblems before the situation could get under control and that was with the help of a massive yemen security force there. it's my understanding and it's not confirmed, that much of the staff at the embassy in yemen at the u.s. embassy has now been evacuated. this a precautionary measure. then you switch over to cairo. we were talking to one of the officials there. he says that at the embassy itself, things are calm enough that they are getting on with their business. but outside of the embassy and that is right in the heart of things, w

cause well the same thing happened in yemen do you think. unfortunately i believe one of the more nasty things that has been happening in pakistan is this policy of the follow up attack in which the drone will take out what we soon militants but often are civilians and then do a second strike killing the people who go to aid those murdered in the original strike and that has been very disastrous in pakistan and last july in yemen we had a similar process occurring and it can do nothing but alienate the locals now while the wars in afghanistan and iraq get all the attention the air strike campaign in yemen is where you mentioned by washington what is the u.s. trying to hide if anything. actually even the war in afghanistan didn't get that much attention joe recently. the u.s. is hiding a large part of this whole debacle is assisting saudi arabia their partners as well in the fiasco in syria or the g.c.c. in nato are hiring mercenaries there as well this is the saudis interest the conflict in yemen is it has been going on since the sixty's thi

just yesterday, the friends of yemen pledged almost $1.5 billion to yemen. president hadi said it would help avoid a civil war, which could be a regional and possibly a global threat. the announcement came after president hadi called for more practical support from abroad to help his country fight al qaeda. he also said that internal as well as an external support for al qaeda must stop. in his first interview after his election he said that a comprehensive national dialogue was a top priority as his country moves forward. he promised to involve people from all political and social factions, including youth in his wide-ranging national discussion. something like the discussion we're having today. president hadi said he would engage in a conditional dialogue with islamic militants, including aqap, but only provided they put down their weapons first. mr. president, we share your desire for inclusive dialogue and we very much look forward to talking you this afternoon about a way forward for your country. after president hadi's remarks, frederick kempe will mod

cairo now growing to yemen. one would think that as quickly as word spread about this obscure video that got everyone upset, that word would spread just as quickly that the u.s. had nothing to do with this and it would calm the tensions. why do people continue to protest and why are they spreading? >> reporter: it is spreading because the hard liners who were so in-tur yated by that video, the hard linerses who were inspired to take to the streets aren't listening to that message, they are not the kind of people who want to hear what the secretary of state has to say. they would like to see the u.s. take action. they would like to see the people who matt videotape arrested, they would like to see changes in laws in the united states that prevent these kind of reported messages that are inflammatory blocked in the united states. the clashes are still very much ongoing here in cairo. we just came down from the middle of that fray and i can tell you we spoke to some of the protesters there. some of them are very yo

which is sort of any instability in yemen or out of control instability in yemen could influence here in the richest region in the world in terms of floral and could create in the stability of saudi arabia so that it does one of the main reasons why did the u.s. is there the second is the of course the a public one which is after nine eleven. being most people from the qaeda are doomed or deemed the two to come from yemen so that's why the u.s. is trying to. through that and nip it in the bud basically in a way that people in yemen unfortunately i think empires do not learn we've seen this time and again in history and it seems that the u.s. is doing the same mistake it's creating more and more hatred by doing this for instance when does thirteen people were killed. probably most of them if not all of them are not involved in any way on the other you know any terrorist activity so that it creates more resentment and pushes more people from dead religion to take up arms and become activists against the policy of snowsuits in the region so unfortunately i don't see why. the american. le

embassy in yemen with heavy gunfire heard and danger is reported on both sides. while on to american protests also continue to rage in egypt over the u.s. film that mocks islam has been used on protesters. welcome back this is the with the breaking news this hour of clashes in yemen as protesters break into the american embassy compound in the capital sana'a there are reports of injuries on both sides with smoke and gunfire around the area. and in the region reports. it's really really unclear what exactly the situation on the ground is one of my contacts is actually reporting that protesters in yemen have broken through the main gates of the u.s. embassy there reuters says hundred sky news sources say several thousands in total but again this is all based on eyewitness reports and so it's quite murky as to the facts what we did hear is that embassy employees in the u.s. embassy there had been moved to a safer location there were multiple reports of live ammunitions being used up potentially by the security forces to disperse the crowd there was also reports of s

well we've lost i think somewhere in the neighborhood of twenty strikes this year in yemen which is a significant increase over the past i think what's important to understand is that there are legal authorities that justify the use of force against targets overseas who are considered to be enemies of the united states now general michael hayden when he was the cia director said that liberal democracies do not normally wage war on the basis of memoranda locked away in a safe in the department of justice and he urged more openness but the truth is it's not open we really don't know the quality or the value of the intelligence that were provided and how these targets are selected and that's part of the problem and that is what president obama spoke about a little bit in that c.n.n. interview is that they that he wouldn't confirm his involvement or picking up the targets but that to some capacity he is involved now if they also carry with the taint and what tunnel bay for a number of years he also went through a saudi rehabilitation institution that's supposed to i want to get this right

not just in the city of s aanaa, the capital of yemen, but practically in all of the country of yemen. i've been to yemen several times, been to sanaa several times. i've been to the u.s. embassy. this site is not easily accessible to anybody. i spoke to activists in sanaa who said they were watching what was going on from rooftops of nearby buildings. they say they were absolutely shocked that this crowd, marching toward the embassy, was able to get as close as they did to the main gate and then that they were actually able to breach the compound. they were flabbergasted by this. they can't understand how yemen security could allow this to happen. in the ensuing hours more than 1,000 security officers surrounded the embassy, went to other parts of the city and tried to repel the crowd. they were using water canons at one point to disperse the crowds. we're told from officials that the situation has calmed sufficiently. now there are only tens of demonstrators outside as opposed to thousands earlier today. in the evening hours, will those crowds start marching again? will they try to
