calls for an uprising in egypt as the muslim brotherhood claims the army massacred dozens of supporters calling for alstom president morsi to be freed the military insists so-called terrorists are to blame. fresh revelations from edward snowden the claims the u.s. national security agency worked closely with germany contradicting chancellor merkel's recent anger at america's cold war tactics. plus the wounds of civil war in mali are yet to feel as the country heads towards its first post conflict election with security threats still looming.

thanks for tuning in at one pm here in the russian capital i'm lucy confident of and you're watching our t.v. well on to our top story a peaceful sit in to support egypt's ousted president mohamed morsi has turned deadly with forty two people now understood to have been killed the muslim brotherhood claims police and the army use live bullets and tear gas on campaigners during dong prayers outside of the republican guard headquarters but the military blames the gunfire on so-called terrorists saying that five people have died well live to cairo now to our middle east correspondent paula slayer paul walk us through the events of this morning what happened. well the situation here in egypt is deteriorating and deteriorating fast the latest figures we have from the health ministry of cheap people did. and some three hundred and twenty two people

injured we do expect those figures to climb and climb dramatically there in contrast to the figures we're receiving from the army they say that five people were killed now the entire at nasa city where these clashes happened is in lockdown the military has closed off the whole area and as a result ambulances are unable to reach the injured inside we are hearing that a makeshift hospital has been set up eyewitnesses there saying that bodies are literally being laid out on the ground doctors also telling us that many of the people have been shot in either the chest or they hid and many of them have actually been fired at from behind now among the dead is at least one woman and five children including a six month old baby these reports to correlate with what we're hearing from the muslim brotherhood who says that it was holding peaceful dawn praise it was holding a peaceful sitting in front of the military barracks where it is believed that president morsy is being held when the group was suddenly fired on by the army and as

a result the military brotherhood is calling for an uprising it says that this is a massacre it is calling for international intervention to prevent the situation here in egypt from descending to quote a mother syria the army has a different version of events they say that protesters stormed the barracks and that armed gunmen and to quote the military terrorists took aim either way certainly live ammunition was used a lot of tear gas and a deadly fatality this that just keeps climbing or paul with the muslim brotherhood now calling for an uprising with the army sticking to its position there are fears of the situation escalating to more dangerous level. well there are fears that the situation we're escalate either into martial law into some kind of civil war or possibly both both sides now are calling for the protesters to come to the streets we're keeping an eye on this we are concerned that there will be mass demonstrations again today we're hearing from the al-noor party which is the second largest islamised party. they have withdrawn from negotiations in light of these

killings and this is this is posed a huge setback for the interim president who's been struggling for days to try and create some kind of interim government to manage this country so against this growing violence and this growing anger on the street you have an interim government that's simply unable to even establish itself and certainly the politics are critical here it's an important situation but the problems facing egypt are more than just political aren't they. they said we are more than just political you need to remember that underlying both what's happening now in egypt and the revolution that ousted mubarak are very real concerns about the economy in this country what most egyptians want is bread and butter issues forty percent of this country lives below the bread line which is some three dollars a day one of the biggest criticisms against morsi is that he spent his first year in office consolidating his own power rather than trying to address the economy and improve the daily lives of people living here and so he this is going to have to be

one of the issues that this new interim government if it's if it created addresses . those who can have long since left trading cairo for quite a sure it's lived this real estate broker panicked job is finding homes for those with cash to pay up front but now she's thinking of closing up shop because business has never been this bad this sort of when you want to launch a new project in real estate everything is put on the whole it stops foreign buyers don't want to come and invest in egypt lack of security the lack of parliaments lack of in stable government so. we do nothing but disrupt the way economists say it's no surprise president morsi was overthrown he spent his first year in office tightening his grip on power rather than trying to rescue the country's floundering economy food prices have rocketed the country cannot pay off its debts to major oil companies and forty percent of egyptians live below the poverty line on less than three dollars

a day on top of that major international investors have pulled out and sold their assets the safest decision in a repartee deteriorating environment for the foreseeable future it looks like egypt will have a government that again is unable to as to policy and as a result unable to provide investors with the confidence that they would need to begin to sing it but here in tokyo square protesters are not sorry the western giants are leaving. just about starbucks i thought that i already have a zero this car leasing business men tells us he's fed up. before morsi was ousted we're begging for the i.m.f. loan of about four point seven billion dollars a year now we don't want it we're all as business men collectively decided to support the egyptian economy and one day we collected over fifteen billion dollars in donations were a large economy we can rely on ourselves but the facts tell a different story for each day these demonstrations continue the egyptian economy

is forced to cough up another one billion dollars the ripple effect is more insecurity in an already unstable region if is anyone benefiting from these revolutions it's people right here in tahrir square you can pick up whatever souvenirs or gimmicks you want from flags to posters to key rings and even a koran code. maggie mohamed used to work as a sales agent but his company was forced to shut down after mubarak was all stood for two years this has been his office the same spot on to his square business isn't brilliant but at least he can put food on the table. i couldn't find a job but after the revolution i came here so i could make a living or i have children and i just want to move. the egyptian flag is waved to both the pro and yes it's about the only thing common between the two camps threatening to take egypt apart but if things don't improve soon the financial

lifeblood of the country will be completely drained and whichever flag waving group eventually prevails may find very mishal to celebrate policy r t kyra. party is the true is also in cairo went out to find out exactly what's motivating morsi supporters to stand up to the army. a lot of people are saying that it was a popular whale the first time and mostly out of the face of what is your reaction to that actually. first of all i want to say that i am one of the people who went out in history and generate going to school going through my daughter and d.v.d. that. what is happening right now is to get moved out of again and. i hope it split it in five elections among the last thirty months and we want to proceed with the democratic way overruling the state. and now we ought to be and that if it. is trying to leave

a big portion of the egyptian population they don't want to hear our voice they are closing t.v. the t.v. stations and they are interesting people without anything we don't have a constitution that most of the people has approved only six months ago. correspondent bill true has also made her way to the protester sit in the nasr city and now she's tweeting online you can follow her right there she managed to speak to a number of people who say that they saw what happened to told her that shots were indeed fired at them reportedly with life on the mission she also spoke of their attempts to flee to safety so again you can follow her on twitter at bell true for more. well let's get some analysis now with neil clark is an investigative journalist who's written extensively on the middle east and joins us live from london sir i know it's a bit difficult to comment on this from the u.k. but how do you foresee this violence and unrest affecting the situation and stability in egypt what it's

a very dangerous escalation i think because whether we take the line from the army that you were before to kill them or marks obviously a very dangerous situation and the muslim brotherhood really has got the keys to this situation out of so what will they do next they call for an uprising against. the salafist groups a consequence of that and we have very dangerous situation where we could see egypt break and full scale civil war let's hope that doesn't work and i think the main point now could be to to to offer an olive branch the opposition in this in the state of affairs at the moment you say the muslim brotherhood has the keys to the situation here but it seems unlikely in the way that things have been developing on the ground that it's really the military that has the keys to the ongoing unrest i mean if as reported and again we are getting conflicting reports if it is the military indeed that opened up fire i mean this is setting the country up for a massive clash and how do you see that being resolved while the most the supporters will decide what they really want i mean they haven't got the strict i mean to actually take. that have the majority or the army's got the guns to pretty

good to be simply and so therefore they're going to decide what their strategy is and i think that actually they're hoping that they'll get some kind of offer to join the government join into got morsi could come back in some capacity some deputy capacity for example as a some way of saying this is going to actual sort of emergency government be one way out of it whether the army police need to do that it depends really on how strong their position is and so the next few days can be absolutely crucial in deciding what happens and granted the political talks were in a dangerous sort of territory even before these clashes took place but the second largest is in this part of the eleanor party has already withdrawn from talks discussions to form a new government how do you think this is going. to affect things i mean are talks completely breaking down or is this still salvageable i think there's still hope i think that obviously going to get what we're going to see this week we're going to get more demonstrations counter-demonstration a small one it's not right and it all depends on whether some kind of political solution and the economic opportunity lucio what this is all asleep and said

political debate needs to go on but the fact is the economy is getting worse millions of egyptians are starving virtually there i'm employed one in four young people are employed red cross the going up and it doesn't matter who is in power unless the economic problems we addressed urgently then these that this unrest will continue and any government that console these economic problems will get the support of the majority of people the trouble what morsi came into out with all these promises he didn't deliver there will be unrest against a group now we've got a new government but the demonstration will continue unless they get a grip on the economy well there's a big question about whether anyone as you said can get a grip on the economy again i mean considering that these protests are our feel of funneling so much money away from you except i mean they're furthering the economic devastation that has already taken place there i mean what is the way forward way forward is it is for egypt where he got his independence from the british empire time for egypt to close independence from the u.s. and really because the u.s. has played a bad role and it was because the u.s.

battles egypt to the tune of about one point five billion dollars or eighty year but you know because they do this they committed a hold over egyptian economic policies and foreign policy and this is the basic problem egypt doesn't need this this check from the u.s. it's only about one or percent of. egyptians government sent to the u.s. we don't want your money they'll be able to follow an independent economic policy a policy that well you're going to do actions first and i think that it appears to be fair i think at this point as an egyptian problem i mean the rhetoric about the military that is it gets a sort of a sideline here plenty of it were greedy and i'm well i don't read only speaking i mean we've seen it isn't a sort of come to power in several countries how does this bode for example for tunisia or for libya or other places that of so. in similar kinds of uprisings. i think we see this in the ranks of the children singing about their mission secular forces it all depends on the economy you see in any government in tunisia or egypt economy they will get majority support whether an islamist government or secular government you know when you haven't got a job when you have

a good read when you have a book when you haven't got hope you don't really care what the government is whether it's little discover or secular so you ask your question whether these limited governments are successful depends on whether they can almost as morsi didn't you why you lost power you didn't lose power because it was an islamist you lost power because it wasn't for the record i mean all of these and as i said with egypt point is that us has dominance over what it got only in may we had john kerry lecturing and he had to take the army you have to make structural economic reforms which would be more privatized cutting subsidies etc so i think it is very crucial this u.s. check that they get to each sheet own economic policy that was majority of egyptians first and until they do that then these demonstrations will continue will better bread and butter issues that more neil clark thank you so much for weighing in live from london thanks very much lisa living on fugitive was a lower edward snowden has struck again this time claiming that the n.s.a. is in bed with germany as well as what the number of other countries when it comes

to global surveillance the former cia employees says that the partnership is set up in such a way they can protect top level politicians from any backlash if he does that their collaboration do become public now the revelations certainly undermine berlin's recent furious comments about the extent of america's spy operation with chancellor merkel accusing the united states of cold war tactics snowden's previous revelations involved extensive spying programs run by france as well as britain meanwhile journal journalist manuel oxon writer says the german politicians are furious but about being exposed not by being spied on. they are angry that it came to public that not all the facts are that the citizens can see what is going on because i wouldn't believe any hurt right now on a government politician by the way also not often oppositional politician the driven parliament and when we listen very well to. the mainstream politicians in germany we are right now. this. cooperation

how they call it they say it's for our security they say that this is a partnership that this is a friendship but of course it's not it's pure spying and we have to watch a little bit back in the past we had in the one thousand nike's that. it was also it was. in europe especially in germany and this was especially for economy and spew and german companies the german economy was. higher in the u.s. secret service so what we see here is that germany has behaved the moralists like well let me say i like to state clearly on the profile of the u.s. without any independence and the scandal it's not just that you are doing this the scandal is that the german politics are not doing something against the.

brushing the dodgy surveillance aside the europe and the u.s. have some big money to talk about they're about to discuss joining up create the world's largest free trade region i had we ask whether they'll get what they're bargaining for plus. like a top. when in tough economic times and peace could be in line for ten thousand pound pay rise it's not to make british taxpayers headspin their politicians are in line for have to pay rise the details on that in just ahead. european or european banking system destroyed by by the action since people feel believe that you know this happened cyprus explain portugal it to me right oh. oh

. welcome back i'm lucy catherine of mali is gearing up for

a presidential election later this month it's the country's first ballots in civil war broke out nearly two years ago the state of emergency which had been in place since january had been lifted ahead of the poll u.n. peacekeepers aided by outgoing french intervention forces will help provide security during the election but some local officials say mali will still be hard pressed to hold a credible vote hundreds of thousands of people remain displaced by the country's north where radical islamists were recently driven out is said to be seeing a very fragile peace now reports from the volatile country. and these people from a small village to the west of mali's capital may be muslim. but the also have the very traditional beliefs stretching back generations using nuts to help predict the future and influence the weather you know not looking to. it's people like these who helped form africa's unique and diverse cultures but it's exactly these types who would have been a trieste of an isolation had the militants who took control of mali's north in the

name of radical islam also swept aside the authorities here. have a lot bar they say they're not muslims i don't like these people and other spiritual groups they think the same way if they find us they'll kill us that. french troops intervened in northern mali in january as the insurgency made a push towards the capital two months later paris proclaimed the north liberated but for some followers of traditional islam that was already too late. twenty three year old son a man from the gal region claims al qaeda linked fighters chopped off his right hand and left food after he a father of three and a muslim who prays several times a day refused to join their ranks and in a fit they brought the chair to a squirrel in the center of gower they tied me up they gave me an injection and put a bandage here brought the knife like this and cut it. however some people from

solomon's village claim has a speech which the radicals punish him for one to shari'a law they imposed or do so we're against their opinion that they don't consider the muslim they have their own interests and are aware of what that travelling to was the north we make no one who sympathizes with the insurgents and their rigid religious themes and that even goes for the next generation you want to fight against then why are they bad bad all of a lot of man yes they are bad bad for our country. but when those ringers of shari'a law to call to the north a significant number of mali is either join them or help them. some suggest by their wallets militant. have capitalized on widespread poverty while others have been joining by they slogans. now many people who join the radicals understood they

were mistaken and they've joined the side of the mali an army to fight against those people are you guys are afraid that these people will come back. they will not come back. ok oh why they will never come back here. because mali and france now years. that's fronts is drawing much of it's been a treat and the very people paris claims to have driven out still and p. to be very much around the same groups that his nose claimed responsibility for in terra tack on the french wrong uranium facility in neighboring new share while the very factors that allowed to their rise in the north pole with a feeling of injustice and general frustration us to very much evident. care and. make.

certain i don't know. how one can restart. the missing plane. written off now from mali. the talks are about to start in washington to create the world's largest free trade zone between the united states and the e.u. this despite europe's integration over america's market surveillance and threats by the french president over the deal economist patrick young believes that no matter what they think of each other right now the deal is vital for both sides. the u.k. in particular put a great deal of store into the idea of creating a free trade agreement across the atlantic the united states of america under the obama presidency you have been seen to be pretty much anti business and anti free trade also one could say that the obama presidency on a broader basis is ultimately headed towards failure so you've got two prime

ministers presidents heads of state who are each unbuckled and they want to create a win win situation it is an incredible opportunity for the frankly currently all full european union predicament canonically to manage to fight back the emerging nations of the world they're the benchmarks and hard to do exports right now if they're going to continue to grow whether this free trade agreement happens or not but ultimately the president of the united states of america and the european union can alter forward in the current economic circumstance where their lunch is being eaten by the emerging east not to come up with a do. i will ask anyone in britain who they think deserves a pay raise right now and i have a feeling the feel will be you know likely to say that members of parliament are it while just about everyone else is being asked to either freeze or cut their pay check lawmakers are in for a month of salary hike from london here's our teens are for. my theme a topsy turvy world when in tough economic times and peace can be in line for ten

thousand pound pay rise in the body the first salaries really think. but as with so many things like this inflation. there's more to the story than meets the eye. but it's never that simple of course nothing simple it's easy for the general public the general public has a pay freeze employees are paid more already they will have a field day they will terrorism. if we have a huge increase when they get in nothing but worse politicians from the prime minister down make bluster and prick claim that the over fifty years any pay rise it's not actually a choice the decision is down to independent body he decide how pay should be set and it says chairman has criticised the party leaders for voicing their opposition prior to and peace at their own pay and well we all know how that ended up as

members of parliament. you know if you sat around with them different independent body. as well that m.p.'s salaries are already now far more than double the average so what do the british public have to say about it will their responses when quite what you might think anyone should be and i should pay for. it stops are kind of things where you know. anything will. work and the job. you want to the money comes the expenses of. expenses and all of you know extracurricular activities which make a lot of money. in the current climate it's. really an embarrassment that yeah. well you said if you. go in on the fly and sudden there's more people using food banks in the. british peacetime history is. quite understandably

mention of the pay rise the politicians has provoked anger and confusion amongst many in the public but in the wake of members' expenses scandals this pay rise could also be linked to an end to outside earnings the n.p.a. which many say will be a chance for real reform and as this debate hot stuff even further in the coming days that's certainly going to be something to reflect upon sarah artsy london. more news in interviews coming your way you're watching our. remember how all of a sudden an afghan card protest group became world famous and in were completely forgotten by next month yeah i'm talking about the feminist punk rock group pussy

riot that performed a vulgar anti prayer and one of moscow's most famous orthodox cathedrals one possible reason for their explosive popularity in the media's eyes was revealed recently by german actress on a tell buck the actress claims a german t.v. channels e.t.f. paid her a large undisclosed amount of money to come out on behalf of the activist band show said on a t.v. discussion that she doesn't even remember what she said except for wishing them well with dealing with their incarceration it would be very odd for an actress to just make up a bribery scandal especially one she was complicit in but it makes you wonder just how many other people's e.d.f. may have been given all extra motivation to cry travesty overall i think that most important of what said her public revelation is that she said that you know what it's a bit dumb when actors talk about politics and i couldn't agree with her more but that's just my opinion.

right to see. her street. and i would think you're. on a recorder's twitter. instagram. to be in the. hello and welcome to this edition of sophie and co the ones economies suffering through worse turbulence since the time of the great depression an attempt to stay afloat the western states come up with some of the most radical solutions but the question is is it working.
