thank you so much for joining us here on our today. life in moscow with a very busy program for you let's get straight to it now a vigorous police crackdown on the city and supporting egypt's ousted president mohamed morsi tun cairo into a battlefield. puddles of blood snipers on the rooftops and lofty barricades have all been seen in the egyptian capital today and health and security officials are so far only talking of about one hundred confirmed casualties although the muslim brotherhood claims it's many times that figure. true was inside one of the protest camps while it was being attacked she has details now. presidency has now announced a one month state of emergency across the country in the growing violence 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 enough for city on the scenes have been extremely bloody we've had reports of at least two journalists killed including a sky news camera man 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 and the incoming was completely destroyed. all the shelters and the tents off the firing volleys of tear gas and bullets on the protesters there however the caches continue on their extremely face in the rubble of the way a mosque in nasr city security forces moved in on protesters at around six thirty this morning and started firing at them at seven am using bullets tear gas and also live ammunition which i have actually seen with my own eyes and they have surrounded it that continued to surround the entire city and firing both the protesters inside and also anyone attempting to get in the background to this is

that the supporters of ousted leader mohamed morsy said that they wanted to be reinstated on the constitution they started these two sit ins in the capital and across the many different governorates over a month ago saying they will not leave until he is put back in place as i approached the city and security forces as i said have blocked off every entrance even the smallest sorry streets which resulted in was basically these side road battles where the police and the military would fire heavily on anyone approaching including journalists like myself residents and families of people trapped inside i had to duck behind cars behind any concrete barricades that i could find i mean being fired at me by. from above and from the fronts including tear gas the i was stinging it was almost impossible to breathe it was on i was unable to ascertain whether this was in fact like i mean 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 stressed out and found protesters as i said trying to find shelter and i said women and children in mary's well the field hospital itself is in the heart of the clashes you have to run through a corridor of the night i mean to get back 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. from my contacts inside the field hospital they say that people have been shot to the head the face the neck and the chest and you can follow along

twitter for instance updates on what's happening in cairo throughout the day she's been sharing our thoughts on what it's like to be caught up in the very i over the storm as the police continue to move in on the protesters. over the other in the program how to respond to a. spokesperson for the muslim brotherhood in the u.k. let's get her reaction to the unfolding chaos. the international community is it is . one of the worst is the worst massacre in the modern history of egypt hundreds if not thousands. thousands of innocent peaceful egyptians who went there calling for the democracy back where shot in cold blood the reports from the makeshift field hospital there over two thousand two hundred innocent peaceful civilians were killed you are talking about hundreds of those killed but can you name your source please my sources other doctors. the doctors at the make

a makeshift field hospital as they produced a report saying at least two thousand two hundred bodies are there only could identify 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 spread all over egypt what's happening now is much bigger than the muslim brotherhood it's much bigger than the president morsi it's about egypt it's about free egypt it's about the democracy it's about the human rights in egypt we're seeing that or turn over a military state or turn of. emergency law which which has only been used to violate our human rights as free egyptians today from your camera i would like to urge the international community not just turned five in in front of this violation in front of the few mass killing that is happening in twenty thirty in the silence of the international community. or just give you some of the news we've just received right now from egypt the country's vice president mohamed el baradei has just resigned from the government over its handling of the sit in protest you may

remember him about a day the former chief inspector for the i.a.e.a. let's bring in some analysis on this right now with mohamed el masri an assistant professor at the american university in cairo for more reaction good to see today thanks for coming on r.t. many of mentioning the words civil war in the build up to all this violence people dying from weapons all over the country your assessment on that. well i think everybody hopes that it doesn't lead to an all out civil war but one of the things that i keep going back to a lot of the political scientists who have been writing about this military coup for the last six weeks have said that it's not uncommon in fact it's it's quite common that after a military coup we see massive repression in order to maintain the coup and that's what we've seen in egypt in fact really right away immediately

upon and now and seeing the removal of the forced removal of mohamed morsy we saw. the television networks be shut down we saw a mass political arrests without due process and then we saw the. you know the brutal i say shit in the streets the intimate intimidation of protesters but short of enjoying it call it conall just be one sided though because what we've been seeing the violence erupting from the opponents on the supporters of the ousted president morsy the military stepping in again to break up the break up these sit inside so you can't just be a one way street. well there have been before today there were two large massacres one on july eighth and one on july twenty seventh in both cases the rhetoric coming out of the military and the police forces were that the the and the protestors had began the violence instigated violence and they were armed and and dangerous when all of the human rights organizations including amnesty international and others

human rights human rights watch said that what happened in both cases was and were massacres. excessive force against civilians and that's clearly what has happened today within two or three days when i mean you're right we know we're not seeing any shortage of condemnation against the volunteer particularly against out of the protesters a washington certainly condemning it a european leaders also following suit but that being said neither the u.s. or other key global players are actually getting directly involved to make any concrete steps steps that it stopped. yeah you know i think the united states' position is you know consistent with his store u.s. foreign policy the united states is interested in stability they're interested in safety and security for the state of israel and they'll pretty much go along with whatever leader is in power they thought you know the. you know the the the ruler of the day was a. but by him i wouldn't be surprised to see them sort of flip flop here in the

coming days depending on how things go but just one more thing if you don't mind about the violence and i think you know violence on all sides should be condemned but i think we would be naive if we acted surprised that after beating these protesters into submission for six weeks with several massacres and killing hundreds of people we would be naïve i think that you know if we thought that at least a small minority from amongst those protestors wouldn't turn to violence. that's what we're seeing now in the streets and i think it's very it's tragic some of my comedy in that case in that case i mean there's no disagreement there's no disagreement on my part here but who's going to be held responsible than for the deaths that have happened and that those that continue to happen. well i mean to me the primary responsibility responsibility lies with this interim government that instigated a military coup and then proceeded to carry out mass repression anytime you deviate

from democratic norms it usually it spells disaster in egypt we had a democratic system in place the opposition could have competed in elections that have competed for parliamentary seats we had regular elections scheduled we had term limits we had a balance of power the prime minister was about as powerful as the president i could go on the right to form political parties for anyone the right to to establish a newspaper without permission from the government now all of that has been abandoned and we're living in a centrally a military state and some people continue some of the people who supported this coup are continue to to state that they're optimistic about the future although frankly i don't understand how people can be optimistic based on the realities that we're seeing on the ground in terms of the violence and also in terms of policies and the correspondent who's there in cairo true who are following we're following

on twitter as she was that a witness the violence and actually ducking behind vehicles and concrete walls to avoid the gunfire mohamed el not so many an assistant professor at the american university in cairo many thanks indeed for sharing a time with us here on today. we are also helping you to keep track of the developments on our website if. we go to a live feed of the raids and all the pitches and reaction from the social media as well. it's good to have you with us here on our. israeli jets have carried out and strike on the gaza strip just ahead of the much anticipated resumption of peace talks with the palestinians let it go she asians of ultimately being in a state of deadlock since twenty ten and with israel recently announcing plans for

more than two thousand new settlement homes in the west bank and east jerusalem they are already fragile looking talks are on the even greater pressure let's get details now from. 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 eagle palestinians also warning that this will cause the negotiations to collapse before they even begin they accuse the israeli government of trying to sabotage these talks and they also complain that current israeli settlement growth is at president of levels israel 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 accords all of the nineteen ninety three israeli government said that this was a difficult but necessary stick but there has been demonstrations in this role by both whites from protesters and also friends and family of israelis who were killed in attacks carried out by at least some of these prisoners you should know that it's majority oh it didn't help he's out eighty four point nine percent are gangs deal many people here and he's now you know disappointed and angry you know prime minister and government we feel betrayed because we are we trusted them as for the palestinians themselves hamas which is the leadership in gaza is not part of these negotiations and refuses to be now the palestinian president mahmoud abbas as he

comes to these talks is definitively not talking with the united palestinian voice as is neither the israeli prime minister. on teen television. all right allison our bring in former spokes person of the israeli prime minister's office and currently c.e.o. of the world form of russian speaking jewelry starting us are joining us i should say now much more on r.t. good to see today thank you very much for coming on the program the first time the two sides are coming to the negotiations table in three years now we've got the announcement of new settlements in the meantime the chief palestinian negotiator says it all undermines the peace process forcing them to leave the talks table is this is this a case of bad timing or what do you think. it was for hello nice to be here with you again but why don't you start your question with the. the peace talks begin from really release of palestinian prisoners

terrorists terrorists who killed. you know not policemen and not soldiers victims just citizens will release them as the sign of a good will and oh really you know a few days after already we see the palestinians don't want to talk but you know i think you know alex you call it you call it you call it a gesture of goodwill you call it a gesture of goodwill because as you as you say and you are right about this palestinian prisoner release one hundred of them said to be released the other thing the thing is though just in the past twenty four hours the israeli media suggested that the release of one hundred palestinian prisoners should guarantee that the israeli cabinet should then get approval for the development of twelve hundred new settlement homes is that some sort of perverted game of poker with unrealistic odds. no no no excuse me you want us to give you a sign of a gesture a gesture of goodwill of releasing prisoners and then again freezing the

settlements we already priest building certain lands you know in two thousand and ten i remind you what we got we got the unilateral steps of the palestinian authority going to the united nations i'll remind you something else in two thousand and five we gave another gesture a very big gesture of goodwill and we left gaza you know everybody said we should leave gaza we did that what we got we got thousands of thousands of rockets in our schools and you know what i'll remind you that we also in came david in two thousand gave palestinians almost all the land they wanted in the palestinian authority to build the palestinian state what we got violence and intifada so that you know alex alex that you bring you crazy you have more energy more alex that you know yet you say you get. thousands and thousands of rockets alex that's not exaggerate here i know you don't like me here when i say you could you and i have talked in the past you made that very very clear indeed but how are you supposed to

move forward when israel says netanyahu recently said that quote no one can stop us a building what we want where we want how is that going to move the peace process forward. two things first of all nobody will stop building in jerusalem and around jerusalem it's always story cloned second i'll remind you that these decision is not born yesterday it is a reaction of the really government to the unilateral steps of the palestinian authority going breaking the record so i'll remind you to the un and now you claim you know instead of going to the palestinians and saying to them to stop breaking or slow courts you come to us and you say that we should begin freeze and again ruiz and again given given give without getting security we want security and we

will build and we want to negotiate on all the issues with i'm very glad i'm very glad you want to negotiate on will the condition is i'm very new to you but the last time you and i spoke you called me a mouthpiece for the palestinians you said i was anti israeli and yet in the past forty eight hours the u.s. secretary of state john kerry said while visiting colombia that the u.s. views all of the settlements as illegitimate but i suppose alex that the israelis need somewhere to live you know i'll tell you that i think that you know as a c.e.o. of the world forum of russian speaking jewry presenting millions of russian speaking does all over the world living in the united states in russia in israel in europe and we call upon the u.s. and russia stop pressuring stop the pressure on israel and combine the effort against the pressure but what i sure as we're watching all of that are going to israel what is washington putting on israel with

a huge jewish lobby built billions in new york and washington d.c. and yet you really think that washington is pressuring israel we all know that obama and netanyahu don't like each other don't we alex. no no it's not about liking each other it's about interests and i'll tell you that what i see is that again and again we give gestures and we don't get back security negotiations we gave the palestinian prisoners we gave them gas that we give them almost in ninety nine i forgot all mertz. you know olmert talks that almost gave them everything and again we get violence we've been rockets but you know and what we were able to really learn to be a little bit palestinian land alexina look you've got a job to do i've got a job to you let me let's be honest shall we this whole peace process goes back beyond the nineteen seventies nearly half a century now clinton tried to move it forward even george w. bush tried obama's support of the creation of

a palestinian state but in nearly half a century nothing truly has been done alex go on why. why you know let's go to history in forty eight we said yes to the palestinian state they said no in ninety three we said yes and we got violence in two thousand and five and in two thousand every time we said that we want a palestinian state and we give the gestures and we give gestures and now you see the we are the barrier be for peace we give everything believe me that we can give without without damaging our security because our security is the highest priority for the jewish people for this tent for the state of israel and for the jews around the world because without strong state of israel and without security in israel jews cannot be secure in any place in the world and we know would have

well you know if you if you're going to say she was called we can sit here and anyone in any part of the i mean i love the history lesson i mean it's quality stuff you've done your homework and i'm grateful for that but when netanyahu was recently says that millen can stop us building what we want where we want guess what that's a dead end and it's not going to go any further and excelsior former spokesman a spokesperson of the prime minister's office i'm glad to see you've got a new job now currently the c.e.o. of the world for speaking jury thanks for joining us here on r.t. today i daresay i'll see you again. thank you or i will be got more news to come inside a lot of news to come after a very short break oh you can stay with us you're not.

we speak your language. programs and documentaries in spanish what matters to you. a little tentative angle stories. spanish. visit.

from moscow it's just a moment to break in the set but for now new privacy scandal has erupted in the u.k. after it was revealed that high tech trash cans are spying on pedestrians in london and 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 so we sent. to try and do our own investigation. just a ben think again these nifty looking lists of 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 wise by 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 he 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 best so-called digital privacy in the wake of the n.s.a. scandal it's been revealed that it's not just commercial companies but entire governments that are spying on their citizens and just last week we found out that just telecom on the verge of have been secretly processing on details of their customers conversations over to intelligence agency g c h q coming into my privacy on those issues without my knowledge it would be a cause of concern is a breach of law is a breach of confidentiality i just would 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. if you go along all that stuff it's very much the other side is this leaking into finding out things they shouldn't do. it to be honest with you must surveillance is now a reality of our everyday lives c.c.h. cuchulainn say so 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 is that to marry these things to much more information than many of it used to even put back when a boy i see one. has promised i would martin a break in the setting just to mark.

exactly what happened that day i don't know but a woman i killed. years later is when i got arrested for. for a crime i did not do. we have numerous cases where police officers lie about polygraph results. innocent people to confess the police officers don't beat people anymore i mean it just doesn't happen really. in the course of interrogation why because there's been this is like meant no because the psychological techniques are more effective in obtaining confessions than physical abuse and they were off taking they could get what they wanted they can say what they wanted and there was no evidence of what they did or what they said.

to live on one hundred thirty three bucks a month for food i should try it because you know how bad they went bad luck i don't get any i mean i have my hands down as i'm sitting here listening to it really messed up. and we're all very so personally apologize and. worse you're going to pay a flat out sick of it to the radio guy and for lauderdale minestrone cause they want you to watch quote for a budget deal because you've never seen anything like this i'm cold. what's going on everyone i'm having martin and this is breaking the set so we have

a packed show for you guys today i'll be speaking to governor howard dean and economist richard wolffe about everything from health care to drones to reg anomic stick around and let's break with that. a little more of the other she's going to be like. oh. today i had the chance to speak to former governor of vermont howard dean on the very few politicians who actually opposed the iraq war in two thousand and three as opposition became a defining factor for his presidential run the following year and although this may have helped him become the initial front runner he didn't ultimately receive the nomination instead he went on to chair the democratic national committee and although he's been on the political sidelines for the last few years his views have not been governor dean has been vocal on everything from the healthcare debate to the use of drones that's exactly what we talked about earlier in an exclusive interview take a look.
