i. a day of bloody riots seize a month long state of emergency declared in egypt at least two hundred eighty one people were killed nationwide after security forces deployed to gas snipers and armored diggers to clear protest camps. unexpected apology military whistleblower bradley manning says he's sorry for the biggest leak in u.s. history sparking speculation he's being pressured to soften his stance. and sitting on a gold mine no more the u.s. federal reserve loses trust amid mounting concerns that it no longer holds the amount of precious metals that he claims.

are good morning washing with me and. now egypt is locked in a state of emergency after nationwide street battles which saw tear gas gunfire and nearly three hundred deaths security forces swept through two protest camps full of supporters of the ousted president mohamed morsy we have to warn you that you're about to see some disturbing images from the scene these are just some of the two hundred eighty one victims of the deadly clashes between protesters and security forces but the muslim brotherhood claims the real number of casualties is nearly ten times higher than officially meted authorities are now in forcing a curfew in cairo and several other provinces across the country the interim prime minister defended the military operation insisting his government is committed to

democracy but vice president mohammed el baradei resigned saying there should have been a peaceful solution so let's get the latest now from marty's bell true who is in cairo and joins us now. terrible things yesterday what is the situation in cairo this morning. sorry. repeat the question can you hear me you're going to present. ok we'll come back to belle i think she's having difficulty hearing us at the moment so what will come back to a short will shortly when we can meanwhile the images we're back to show you of the authorities confiscating guns and ammunition from one of the pro morsy sixteen camps but mona. who is the spokesperson for the muslim brotherhood in the u.k. told us that security forces are to blame for all the violence signaling a return to

a military state. it's all in the union and it's coming from the paramilitary forces the violence and the killing has only been from one side trying or not trying to frame some of the peaceful protesters will not help because the number of casualties is actually striking the international community is more corrupt one of the worst massacre in the modern history of egypt hundreds were killed in call of innocent peaceful egyptians who went there calling for the democracy back we're shocked 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 three egypt it's about the democracy it's about the human rights in egypt we're seeing that return of a military state of. emergency law which which has only been used to violate our human rights as free egyptians. now there has been plenty of shocking footage after the military used full force when swooping on pro morsy protesting camp let's take

a look at some of what's being caught on camera at the moment you can see people moving in one direction and then one of them appears to shoot another man if we can see these pictures in the lower part of your screen the muslim brotherhood as we just heard is saying that the government is responsible for all of the violence but there have been accusations of morsy supporters firing at police too and it's not clear who is shooting who in this video and we don't know whether the victim died or not ok well i believe now we can go live to mohammed abdul aziz who's head of the sacramento islamic center for a bit more of this thank you very much for joining us this morning. do you believe that a one month state of emergency that hasnt been declared is going to be enough to

restore stability. can you hear me mr lizzie's. current i'm afraid we do have some technical problems at the moment we will try and get back to him shortly too. i believe but let's continue with a different story for the moment u.s. private bradley manning has apologized to the court hearing the whistleblower responsible for the biggest leak of classified data in american history said he never meant to cause harm to his country manning faces ninety years in jail and is awaiting his sentence artie's this war has more. bradley manning talk of the stand he remained silent throughout the trial but he did give a very brief statement and i think what he said during that statement shocked a lot of people he started off by apologizing he said quote sorry that i hurt the

united states he said he has suffered from issues and there's no excuse for that he said i can't go back and change things i want to go forward i want to be a better person and it got to the point where it seemed like he was just leading to the judge pleading for his life he said to the judge i hope you can give me an opportunity to be a productive person and i say that these statements come as a shock because it was a very different bradley manning than the one we heard during the pretrial hearings where he said that he did what he did because he was trying to do the right thing and that he was a whistleblower. while bradley manning is perhaps most famous for exposing this video we showed us civilians being killed by u.s. troops in iraq and he's also passed diplomatic cables and war logs which were all published by wiki leaks so his apology and call came as something as a surprise to many people just several months ago the whistle blows actually chewed

appeared to be a lot different he said and i quote here i felt i had accomplished something that allowed me to have a clear conscience based upon what i had seen what i had read about and knew was happening in both iraq and afghanistan every day we can leak says that manning's apology was extracted by extreme force and that he simply run acts of options earlier we spoke to norman solomon who's spearheading a petition for bradley manning to be awarded this year's nobel peace prize more than one hundred thousand people have signed it already. well the prize has been tarnished in recent years for instance to give the nobel peace prize to president barack obama obama when he was in the midst of escalating the war in afghanistan the nobel peace prize needs bradley manning at this point much more than bradley manning needs the nobel peace prize and by that i mean that no one can doubt the

advocacy and the risk for peace that bradley manning has undertaken but there is serious doubt about the commitment by the norwegian nobel committee to peace on an independent basis in the form of awarding the nobel peace prize. still ahead for you this hour we will tell you hi china may make its currency a major player by pushing the financial bring back into gold also coming up black and white police in britain are accused of racial bias and abuse of power over the targeting of black people for random checks despite no evidence of wrongdoing. the u.n. ready. for an inquiry into allegations of chemical weapons use in syria finally gets the go ahead we'll have all the stories from quite bright.

week with. some of. the consumer. choose. to. choose to stories could impact the.

speech. i. welcome back let's return to our stop story egypt is locked in a state of emergency after a nationwide street battles which saw to gas gun fire and nearly three hundred deaths and to tell us more about this in the situation car at the moment we're joined by a bell tree live from cairo bell terrible scenes yesterday but what is the situation on the street in cairo this morning. well we had a very uncomfortable calm here in the capital overnight as families went home because of this a government in force curfew this morning egyptians seemed to be getting on with their daily lives despite the fact that so yesterday so probably one of the most bloodiest days in egyptian modern history however we are expecting more protests as

the day goes on and in particular funerals for the two over two hundred people who were killed yesterday across the nation in these very bloody clashes between supporters of ousted leader mohamed morsy and security forces now the muslim brotherhood who are largely spearheading these protests are saying they are not going to back down the bloodshed is really just adding to their defiance as they will push for morsy to be reinstated on the constitution and many people are actually saying this is going to intensify the protests in the coming days as protesters have now lost several friends and family members in these extremely bloody clashes and i was there yesterday on the scene in the way another city sit in the main encampment and it really was continuous gunfire from security forces who were firing on protesters both inside to come up with the most anyone attempting to access them with knives on the mission and gun shop automatic weapons as well as tear gas it's also sectarian violence across the country which exploded

yesterday in my supporters of mohamed morsy attack the christians accusing them of basically being responsible for the ouster so you've got a lot of bubbling tensions here in the capital with a very fractured government we expect a lot of violence on the horizon and just quickly we know that officially they're saying two hundred people had died but we hear that the muslim brotherhood is saying that is ins may have died in this is there any indication a clearer picture of the number of deaths at the moment or will take some time to find. i think as you say it will take some time to find is a very chaotic scenes yesterday a lot of the bodies were actually catch in a makeshift morgue inside the mosque in. the city in which is of course is surrounded by security forces to physically couldn't get the bodies out the official death toll will be from the proper move here in the in the capital and also from the main hospitals because not everyone was ferried in this market number does sound a little bit high at two thousand however i was there i was fired up continuously for about five or six hours so i expect there to be

a lot of death possibly more than two hundred already mentioned so we're going to see in the coming days when people first who died from injuries are only getting better reports from their moves just how many people did die in yesterday's bloody clashes ok thank you bill let's artie's belcher a live from cairo we can go to a guest we're trying to get in. because he's the head of the sacramento islamic center and joins us now i hope. mr abdul aziz thank you for coming on to the program again a one month state of emergency has been declared is that enough to restore stability do you believe i don't think any military regime in egypt i don't think there's anything we can do restore stability. and really have crushed the hope of millions of the divisions that just. a few months ago looking

for a democratic story before going through the rule of law. hoping for economic prosperity there is nothing the military can do that will. make people forget the blood that yesterday it was the massacre. every single aspect of the word and you say that and prime orsi protestors have carried out revenge attacks after that crackdown is this country heading for civil war do you think. i sure hope that that is not not the case i i have so many friends that are that were in those sit in i still have family relatives involved with them and most of them are actually not necessarily from the muslim brotherhood they're not from the they were they were rather people who were so part of democracy in the. one of the democratic process to take its course and who refused to be ruled by the rest any more and this

is particularly relevant for me as an objection american and i feel james that my tax money is being collected by the federal government define it as a fascist military that's a plan that's guns to to the very people that flows to understand that but what is the way forward then to stop this descending into civil war what has to happen what those have been and can happen after a situation like this enough of the terrible things that we saw yesterday. well first of all the u.s. needs to take a clear stance on this by suspending military aid to egypt in our. democracy is a resort. and that also involves a heavy brokered on part of the u.s. and the international community together or even each of the sit down on the table and to just a side the language of and the language of exclusivity and bring everyone to the to

be able to chart a map. over the next six months that will hopefully bring some cause to the streets to the streets and that will have to involve a little brother and we'll have to in well every other group but the u.s. needs to play a much bigger and a first step to be taken in that regard it's a suspension of one point three billion dollars we sent to those military generals every year ok thank you we do have to leave it that's mohammed abdul aziz head of the sacramento islamic center thank you if you well it's much more home what's happening in egypt on our web site to a detailed timeline of events that are in first hand accounts from people who were there and so what was happening and we put it all covered for you dr del called i want you uprising a web site makes you will check can't get photo gallery we have lined up the most

striking pages from the country's capital a not so just a click away. now the world is losing trust in the dollar as a safe haven a major blow came after germany's bundy's bank demanded the repatriation of a big chunk of its gold being held in the us because as our seas gani reports some are concerned the assets of foreign nations in the federal reserve on not secure or even their. behind these walls is one of the most secretive organizations in the world u.s. federal reserve where the try to audit them hit the wall this place is impenetrable for three years the u.s. federal reserve has been the place where many countries have stored a big chunk of their nation's well as the country's weathered different waves of

economic crises instability the federal reserve seems to them like a more or less secure place to keep their funds but are the funds really secure or are they building there has been speculation for a long time that the fed doesn't actually have much gold that it has either sold it off lent it out or used it as collateral for borrowings either way there are many claims that the gold that is being stored on behalf of many nations doesn't actually exist germany has recently decided to bring home all its gold but the federal reserve said that it's not possible that he would need until two thousand and twenty to be able to accomplish such a transfer germany then asked to visit the fed's vaults to make sure that the gold is actually there but the fed first refused to permit germany to exult examine its own gold then the germans apparently assisted in the fed did open only one of nine rooms but they were not permitted to either enter or touch the gold the german government has stored about half of its pooled supply with the us federal reserve

so they are understandably nervous this makes not only germans nervous of course u.s. financial institutions have a history of selling things that don't exist one example last year goldman sachs were proven to have been selling gold certificates to the public saying that they were backed by real gold in their vaults but the story leaked out that they'd fact it held no gold at all and we're doing the so-called fractional reserve gold banking on the basis that few people would want to claim their gold at any one time and looking further back in history during world war two when the fed came to many countries evasion of life in america and africa. and told them their gold holdings might not be safe because of the war and that they should permit the fed to take all of it to the u.s. for safekeeping many countries have done that receiving fed gold for the pickets in exchange but when they later tried to cash in those who defected and reclaim their gold they were told the certificates were fake that they contain spelling and other

mistakes so on and so forth and the fact still has all that gold the problem of the u.s. federal reserve has grown dramatically especially since the one nine hundred seventy s. when the u.s. cut the link between the dollar and and gold that allowed u.s. dollars to be bought and sold freely on the market and with the u.s. dollar being the main reserve currency the us has basically been able to tax the whole world it can just devalue other countries holdings by printing more money now we see many countries trying to maneuver away from the u.s. dollar is the main reserve currency and we see many central banks increasing their own gold reserves and he seems after all these years the world decided they put too much power in this one building. meanwhile china's gold consumption has skyrocketed by more than half this year it's been buying up gold all mass fueling forecasts it's preparing a revolution in the world's financial system the wall of the speculation suggests

beijing could be holding up to ten thousand tons of yellow metal i'm preparing a return to the gold standard and that's lighting up the whole market is artie's venture capital show host bring explains. sadly chinese buyers have been snapping it out because it's cheaper price means they currently consider a bargain also a feeling demand is a desire for a physical assets instead of bombs or betting on foreign exchanges so here we go then these other countries are the world's largest gold reserve. although it's actually suspected that china has far more than these official figures suggest it may even have more than that of the us china is also the world's largest producer of gold and could soon become the biggest consumer pushing india off the top spot in that department. so despite a rather dull year for gold china's recent interest demonstrates the precious

metals lost none of its sign. a quick look at some other news happening around the world this hour the un says its chemical weapons that are ready for an imminent departure to syria this comes after assad's government gave its formal approval to the team to conduct an inquiry into the possible use of toxic weapons led by the swedish scientists they will conduct investigations at three sites one of them is. aleppo where the rebels are accused of using chemicals in march. in the german city of selling going to stand there were white anglo merkel protests on wednesday demonstrators came out in their droves to the chancellor launched her new election campaign locals reputation has been seriously damaged by recent revelations that her government had been spying on citizens foreign agencies like the n.s.a. . and racial injustice is still an issue in britain figures show that black people

a seven times more likely to be searched by police on the street than white people are most of the time without any evidence artie's testers investigates accusations of intrusive stop and search discrimination. one morning while driving to work nathan was stopped by the police and asked to step out of his car aggressively . and. you know. kind of this lady was walking. you know doing. anything and. nathan says they grabbed his wrists at which point he started getting angry is anyone to go back to the police station what he told me is when you told me. fifty to forty speeding yeah so. you know nathan's experience is just one of numerous other stories of black and minority ethnic youths who feel

they've been unfairly targeted or treated by police a sentiment that's fueled riots in the past. home secretary theresa may order the police watchdog to conduct its first ever study into the use of stop and searches and deemed wanted for were unlawful warning that black and minority ethnic groups were stopped more than white people janet hill's a detective at the metropolitan police service says she's been stopped herself and more times than she's personally use the power on other people i've been stopped and searched in my time and again the way i view it is that whenever i've used that power it's always been about the intelligence around stopping an individual not just because they just happen to be hanging on the street corner and of more than one million stop and searches recorded each year only about nine percent result in an arrest which the home secretary described as quote far too low for comfort many of the people we've spoken to don't have

a problem in theory with the stop and search powers of the police but the problem arises in individual cases where people walk away feeling like they've been on the receiving end of injustice and the repercussions these experiences may have. it can have a very negative impact of it's done in the wrong way and it can make people feel really hated it can make them feel to me and they can leave very serious mental emotional trauma if it's if they feel they've been abused which then creates resentment and the trust and confidence that you know the police will destroy the community should have in the police is lost in response to a report by the independent police complaints commission which found that scotland yard is failing in the way it handles complaints of racism and discrimination the metropolitan police sent us this statement we determined to be less defensive in except when we're not performing as well as we should be it's powerful sharing the way we deal with complaints involving racism is letting down the public we need to

understand more about what we're doing wrong as well as taking the best out of where we get it right i do realize that the police have a job to do but in winning it poured over about nine times and in one year you know it gets a bit. frustrating are you so angry. well you know when i when i think about going to do i do get angry but i try to keep i just try to get on with it really you know cheap you don't fit in again i can make sure i do take it and to put my complaint and see where it gets me just so so yeah r.t.d. london. thanks for being with me this morning i'm back in half an hour with more news up next i was breaking the set with host abby not to. interview.

more news today violence is once again flared up. and these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations rule today.

you live on one hundred thirty three bucks a month for food i should try it because you know how fabulous i had lunch. i mean . i believe that i'm still really messed up. in the all very slow motion. that's. the worst for the little thing the white house or the. radio four minutes from. one local are about to get you never seen anything like this i'm told. what's going on guys i mean martin and this is breaking the set the summer iraq sides to the deadliest month since the height of u.s.

occupation that the country seems more unstable now than ever before just yesterday i woke up to the tragic news of yet another wave of bombings which killed at least twenty thousand people it's clear that iraq is on the verge of a full blown civil war at this point because by the violence plaguing the nation the pentagon has just announced a new arms sale to iraq to the tune of two point seven billion dollars stockpile would include six hundred eighty one and aircraft missiles forty missile launchers three anti-aircraft batteries as well as two hundred sixteen a hawk missiles now like me you might be wondering why the pentagon wants to sell billions of dollars worth of weapons to a country in the verge of collapse all sorts make a little bit more sense when you consider how the u.s. is seizing on iraq's instability for its end goal in syria so right now you're wrong is able to fly over iraqi air space to give weapons and aid to the assad regime and according to the pentagon this latest weapons order could secure a no fly zone over iraq limiting the shipments of weapons for.
