In Jerusalem, Israeli police fired tear gas at a crowd of Palestinians who joined Muslims in the Middle East, Africa and Asia to target U.S. embassies and those of their western allies who protest the anti-Muslim video that despaired Islam's prophet Muhammad. They scaled the walls of the US embassies in Tunisia and Sudan, and set fire to part of the German embassy. In Nigeria, soldiers reportedly clashed with youths following Friday's prayers. Egypt's Islamist President Mohammed Morsi called for restraint in Cairo, where police fought with protestors near the US embassy. A marine 5 rapid response team arrived in Yemen's capital today as protests erupted at the US embassy there.
 
Speaking today to an annual gathering 6 of religious conservatives in Washington D.C., Republican vice 7 presidential nominee 8 Paul Ryan covered a range of topics. NPR's Don Gonyea reports Ryan included an attack on White House handling of anti-American violence in the Muslim world that claimed the life of a U.S. ambassador.
 
Ryan opened by expressing condolences for the US lives loss before launching into this strong critic.
 
American foreign policy needs moral clarity and firmness of  purpose. Only by the confident exercise  of the American influence are evil and violence overcome.
 
Though the bulk of Ryan's speech was on other topics, repeating assertions that the president has failed economically. He also did something neither he nor Mitt 9 Romney have done much of which is to deliver a lengthy 10 criticism of the president on the issue of abortion 11. Don Gonyea, NPR News, Washington.

Equity's trader Kweku Adoboli is accused of lying to UBS, inventing clients and fictitious 15 deals and breaching 16 bank rules by high risk gambling 17. The 32-year-old from Ghana is the son of a diplomat 18. His deals cost UBS 2.3 billion dollars and when the fraud was disclosed last year, 4.5 billion dollars were wiped from the value of the bank. The prosecutor 19 claims he risked the very existance of the bank for his own benefit. That his system crashed like a car hitting a wall at high speed. She says the amount lost could have paid the salaries of 70,000 nurses or built six new hospitals. Adoboli denies the charges of fraud and false accounting 20.
