10:01 am
this is coming to you live from moscow hello and welcome to the. a vigorous police crackdown on the sections supporting egypt's ousted president mohamed morsi have turned cairo into a battlefield and turns gunfire puddles of blood snipers on rooftops and lofty barricades have been seen in the egyptian capital today health and security officials are so far only talking of dozens of confirmed casualties although the muslim brotherhood claims more than five hundred have been killed and let's get more live from r.t. is about truth who was inside one of the protest camps where it was being attacked . you are literally in the midst of the band. the very latest you've been seeing there right now. with the very latest we've heard is that the
10:02 am
egyptian president he has now announced a one month state of emergency across the country in the growing violence he called on the gypsum president the interim president adly mansour who called on the army to support the ministry of interior and its police force in this now i have been in the heart of the clashes the main sit in for ousted leader mohamed morsy in your city and the scenes have been extremely bloody we've had reports of at least two journalists killed including a sky news cameraman who was shot dead it's been very very violent as the security forces moved in on these encampments in giza whereas the second city in the incoming was completely destroyed its. uses pushed all the shelters and the tents off the firing volleys of tear gas and bullets on the protesters there however the clashes continue on their extremely fierce in the rubber of the way a mosque in nasr city security forces moved in on protesters at around six thirty
10:03 am
this morning and started firing at them at seven am using birdshot bullets tear gas and also live ammunition which i have actually seen with my own eyes and they have surrounded it continued to surround the entire city and firing. both are protesters inside and also anyone attempting to get in the background to this is that the supporters of ousted leader mohamed morsi said that they wanted him to be reinstated and the constitution they started these two sit ins in the capital and across many different governorates over a month ago saying they will not leave until he is put back in place and the constitution as he was democratically elected security forces over the course of the last few weeks have talked about dispersing these two camps however there has been movement from within the interim government particularly from the liberal leader mohamed el baradei who is the vice president to not have this kind of violent crackdown instead preparing a kind of democratic reconciliation through talks that was clearly the idea was clearly trashed this morning when both the police force and the military basically
10:04 am
attacked these protesters which include women and children i saw women and children trapped inside taking shelter behind sandbags and crank concrete walls so this idea of some kind of peaceful dispersal clearly never happened yet but how real was the danger you experienced. it was very real as i approached the sit in security forces as i said blocked off every entrance even the smallest sorry streets where this resulted in was basically the side road battles where the police and the military would fire heavily on anyone approaching including journalists like myself residents and families of those people trapped inside i had to duck behind cars behind any concrete barricades that i could find. was being fired at me both from above and from the fronts including tear gas the air was stinging it was almost impossible to breathe it was on i was unable to
10:05 am
ascertain whether this was in fact like i mean ition but i heard a lot of automatic weapon fire and also i heard what sounded like rifle rounds i then went i managed to make my way into the sit in after hours of being shot at and found protesters as i said trying to find shelter and like i said women and children in there as well the field hospital itself is in the heart of the clashes you have to run through a corridor of live ammunition to get some protesters were doing meanwhile others that were wearing the qur'an around their neck and chanting defiantly against the police post saying they will not be intimidated paramedics were carrying stretches to the front line with their uniforms covered in blood saying that number of people had died in the ambulances i then watched one particular protester shot in the chest he was actually killed she died in front of me the paramedics in the ambulance attempted to resuscitate him but it didn't work he died right there with a gunshot wound to his chest and another one to his leg so clearly it looks like the security forces are shooting to kill my contacts inside the field hospital they
10:06 am
say that people have been shot to the head the face the neck and the chest. please please be careful stay trying to say in a safe place and yet just one more question if you don't mind seeing outside the campus so how serious is the situation. well it looks like these clashes have spread across the country if i don't number of reports from various governments outside of the capital including for the two major cities like the coastal city of alexandria where clashes are happening between supporters of mohamed morsi and his security forces as well. and also in fear you another thing that we've heard very recently has been attacks by islamists supposedly linked supposedly supporters of muslim mohamed morsy attacking churches which is a government in the non citizens of actually formed a human shield around one particular church now these islamists are blaming the
10:07 am
christians because the pope the coptic pope the second came out in support of the june thirtieth protests which preceded the ouster of mohamed morsy and they are targeting the christians who they believe to be against morsi himself and this isn't necessarily fair as a lot of christians are saying this is really sectarian violence and they using it as an excuse so we're seeing chaotic very bloody scenes across the capital and across the country with no signs that this is going to end anytime soon. truly live from cairo well thank you very much indeed for that. you can follow on twitter for instant updates on what's happening in cairo throughout the day she's been sharing her thoughts on what's it like to be caught up in the very the storm as the police to move in on protesters there and then let's now turn live to mona ali who's a spokesperson for the muslim brotherhood in the u.k. for his reaction to the unfolding chaos there welcome to the program thank you very
10:08 am
much indeed for joining us now so it gyptian being held by by government forces in their own capital what can you say to those who are giving the order. the international community is it is. one of the worst is the worst massacre in the modern history of egypt hundreds if not thousands were killed in call of thousands of innocent peaceful egyptians who went out there calling for the democracy back where shot in cold blood that reports from the makeshift field hospital where over two thousand two hundred innocent peaceful civilians were killed on my way to the studio i received the news that my seventeen year old friend was shot in cold blood i've received a few news some news about some of my very dear friends and the husbands of my friends were shot today in cold blood today is
10:09 am
a sad day not only for egypt is for the entire humanity humanity is standing side and watching innocent peaceful civilians shelter in cold blood one exercising their legitimacy right of freedom of expression and freedom of assembly yes it's very sad day indeed mourn and condolences about your friend but look gyptian t.v. has reported that weapons and ammunition was found inside the camps and the police had no on the trunk choice but to take these measures what can you say. the only violence we're seeing the violence is only you need not to it's coming from the part of minutes he forces the violence and the command post only have been from one side trying or not trying to frame some of the peaceful protesters would not help because the number of casualties is actually destroyed and why are they trying to stop judas from recording what is happening why do they not want any documentation
10:10 am
of the massacres that is happening this car news reporter was shot this camera man was shot also a gulf news woman where a reporter was shot. also come out a man was shot we're talking about targeting of people with chemicals multiple now . in the international community to witness this massacre what we're seeing now is the silence when the international community is sun is actually is giving a monday for the killing that is happening as we're speaking now hundreds of people are being killed in cold blood when we speak it was some speaking to you know the u.s. is giving aid of one point three billion dollars to the egyptian army and this army has only used this what its weapons against the egyptian people yet we're seeing killing. of innocent people whereas the international community is silent about what is happening. very briefly you're talking about hundreds of those killed but can you name your soul spies'. so you can use that as my as well as is the
10:11 am
doctors yes so my sources other doctors. the doctors at the make a makeshift field hospital they produced a report saying at least two thousand two hundred bodies are their only good other than to five three hundred but because there are thousands of people injured the estimation of the people injured is around ten thousand people injured the protest has been true has mentioned the protest has spread all over egypt what's happening now is much bigger than the muslim brotherhood is much bigger than the president morsi it's about egypt it's about three egypt it's about the democracy it's about the human rights of egypt where saying that or turn of a military state or turn of. emergency law which which has only been used to violate our human rights as a free egyptians today from your camera i would like to urge the international community not to stand silent in front of those violations in front of this nasty clinic that is happening in twenty thirty in the silence of the international
10:12 am
community ok you're talking to the international dressing the international community but what else from your point of view needs to be done to resolve the situation what can you tell to the government to the interim government now. so as we are the victims one of the egyptian people i am one of the people who is unable to express her eyes my personally my brother has been kidnapped since the military coup because he was a presidential aide was president morsi i don't know where my brother is someone like hundreds of other people we're talking about hundreds and thousands of people being killed tortured in prisons also people being arrested you're talking to the victims they have they did not she show even a single sign of goodwill gesture and they did not show any step towards reconciliation what they're doing is that they are actually making the polarization within egypt even deeper they are we hold genesee see the military junta and all the egyptian authorities and with the civilian facade we're holding them
10:13 am
responsible for every single egyptian drop of blood that is shed but what about the the response from the muslim brotherhood themselves is shooting back at the police with machine guns and tool trying christian churches in cities across the country their right to the government's actions or do you think because there are some instances of that. so we are peace and we have been peaceful and we're always peace for we're faced atrocities we're faced the. military before during and also stalin says nine hundred fifty four and we stayed peaceful we face more water with our peacefulness and we're facing general sisi and his civilian lucky's. also with our peacefulness our peace our protests has been there for over forty eight days they have been more give you peace than obviously the peace they pulled us are not centralized protests we have no control about what is happening in the other cities what happened what it up to today in every single province of egypt is

10:15 am
israeli drones have carried out and asked trike on the gaza strip just hours ahead of the much anticipated resumption of peace talks with the palestinians negotiations have been in deadlock since two thousand to ten and with israel recently announcing plans for more than two thousand new settlement homes in the west bank and east jerusalem the already fragile looking talks are under ever greater pressure he's put a clear has the details. today for the first time in three years israelis and palestinians will be resuming direct talks in jerusalem this follows preparatory talks that will hold a fortnight ago in washington but both sides are skeptical and no one is expecting a breakthrough the problem is that these talks are resuming against the backdrop of an announcement by israel that it is expanding its system and the european union has warned that this is the palestinians also warning that this will cause the negotiations to collapse before they even begin they accuse the israeli government
10:16 am
of trying to sabotage these talks and they also complain that the current israeli settlement growth is at president levels his role has rejected this criticism it says that every peace initiative so far has proposed that the settlements affected become part of the israeli territory the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has officially said that he wants these talks to succeed but the problem is that both his government and the israeli public all spiffed over them earlier twenty six of one hundred and four palestinian prisoners that israel is releasing as a confidence measure to bolster these talks we'll see if we convicted by israel of carrying out attacks against israelis before he also holds all nine hundred ninety three israeli government said that this was a difficult but necessary step but there has been demonstrations in this role by both the wife from protesters and this with friends and family of israelis who were killed in attacks carried out by at least some of these prisoners you should know
10:17 am
that it's majority help to get it out eighty four point nine percent are gangs deal many people here and he's out here to the point you and i agree. and government we feel betrayed because we are we trusted them as for the palestinians in cells hamas which is the leadership in gaza is not part of these negotiations and refuses to be the palestinian. president mahmoud abbas as he comes to these talks is definitely not talking with a united palestinian voice as is neither the israeli prime minister want to see on television. while palestinians in gaza and the west bank have been celebrating the return of twenty six prisoners released early from israeli jails and the a.p. poll murphy believes the move simply diverts attention from the reality of israel's tactics the release of prisoners i mean it's twenty six were released thirteen were
10:18 am
arrested simply on on monday so as many as were released and it's simply it's something to give to abbas to say that the israelis are serious but the true story is told by the settlements it's the palestinians who have their lands occupied who have or are only able to access military justice in the occupied territories who face a inhuman humane and illegal blockade in gaza. that the concessions here have to be made by the israeli establishment in terms of you know laying the basis for a viable palestinian state with a capital in east jerusalem with control. rights of control over its own economy over its resources they are reading preconditions for a peace and they're all moves that in my opinion need to be made by the israeli establishment side. coming up later this hour leaving the danger zone but is that enough and the ego is big is close to looks not fully out of recession which
10:19 am
explains shortly why there's still a long way to go before people can breathe a complete sigh of relief to stay with us on that. i would rather as precious the people in positions of power instead of speaking on their behalf and that's why you can find my show larry king now right here on our t.v. question more. wealthy british style. is no time to. go. to.
10:20 am
market why not. come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with my next concert for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into kaiser report. this is i'll see welcome back and your privates his condo has erupted in the u.k. outrage was revealed high tech trash cans spying on the debts trends in london the bins placed in the city's financial district by an advertising are able to identify and track mobile phones through a wireless connection authorities have ordered the surveillance to stop and the country's data protection watchdog says it will investigate all she's pointed boyko has want to. just
10:21 am
a ben think again these nifty looking lesser bins are connected so why five and that means that they can track the movements of each and every person walking down this street as long as they've got a smartphone that's connected to why fine now the digital stalking is all in the name of advertising simply by knowing who you are and where you're going they can alter the images on the screen here to tailor the advertisement to whoever is walking down the street in the city of london corporation have said that they also use the sun by despite technology that they've asked the company responsible for the bins to switch them off the local authority here say that schemes like this require the backing of an informed public but just how aware are all the british public of the erosion of the so-called digital privacy in the wake of the n.s.a. scandal it's been revealed that it's not just camacho companies but entire governments that are spying on us citizens and just last week we found out that just telecom on vodafone have been secretly crossing on details of their customers
10:22 am
conversations over to intelligence agency g c h q coming into my privacy. my knowledge it would be a cause of concern is a breach of law as a breach of confidentiality i just wouldn't have nothing to hide so i don't really care but still i don't think that. that's fair from them not telling us that to me because information to governments who are true in your twenty's citizens private information should stay private i've got nothing to hide so it doesn't matter. all that stuff is very much the other side is there anything in the final things i shouldn't do. to be honest with you must surveillance is now a reality of our everyday lives t.c.h. to call it day to hoover and according to experts they screw up as much information as possible online and through telephone traffic in order to school through it so there's that there'd be paying him much. in the made in many of the uses even the
10:23 am
bad boy. and across the atlantic the white house has a backtracked on suggestions intelligence chief james clapper will need a probe into the n.s.a. spying scandal clapper was forced to apologize to congress for denying the n.s.a. collected information about millions of americans meanwhile the price tag of the fallout from the scandalous chiral as a recount reports. it's very difficult to put a price on trust but in business customer trust consumer confidence is money according to the information technology and innovation foundation the n.s.a. leaks will cost us tech companies up to thirty five billion dollars in the next three years according to the cloud security alliance after the leaks ten percent of two hundred seven non us companies canceled contracts with the u.s. providers also fifty six percent of non-u.s.
10:24 am
respondents are now hesitant to work with u.s. based cloud operators this is bad news for us tech companies because cloud computing and storage is a huge expanding market a market based on trust but do companies have a choice other than to share their users private information most recently the highly encrypted email service called level it has gone off line among its users was edward snowden lavabit claims the company is legally barred from explaining why it shut down but its owner wrote this i've been forced to make a difficult decision to become complicit in crimes against the american people or walk away from nearly ten years of hard work by shutting down love a bit after significant source searching i've decided to suspend operations i wish that i could legally share with you the vents that led to my decision i cannot all other u.s. internet services that cooperate with the n.s.a. are also legally required to keep their mouth shut but tech companies are of course
10:25 am
not the only ones grappling with a costly trust issue the white house is doing its own damage control the president has announced that a group of quote unquote independent outside experts will review the government surveillance and intelligence gathering programs the privacy advocates do not expect that this so-called outside review could actually result in changes in the programs but one change that we can expect the. is more measures to stop future and weeks and one of them could be this the director of the n.s.a. said the agency is going to cut the number of its system administrators by ninety percent less people knowing about the details of the programs less chances to have and those who do know something are strictly required to keep their mouth shut like the founder of that e-mail service love a bit in washington i'm going to check out. more evidence that privacy is becoming a relic of the past as presented to you on. legal advice from google has surfaced

10:27 am
france which is building the momentum finally i'm not here with bad news here so good news for germany and france but what about the rest of europe and all the rest of the zone growth no point three percent so again we've got guys i know that doesn't sound particularly sizing certainly not parties in the top but when you consider they've endured six quarters of contraction is a positive bass the concern is with the other peripheral southern countries that a father entrenched in debt is going to take longer for those countries to crew themselves out of recession which mean at the moment i'm thinking about spend a greece in particular the unemployment rate that is the real problem still stubbornly over twenty percent in europe as a whole twenty six million people still looking for work so at the moment the data is positive a long way to go on day. coming up your way the second part of our report on russia's best known defense aircraft after just ahead.
