little. more than five hundred people have been killed mation wide and in the bloodiest violence the country has seen a big toppling of dictator hosni mubarak was little find a solution to the prices is on the horizon. wiki leaks claims u.s. army whistleblower bradley manning has been full stop apologizing for revealing war crimes in the hope of easing his sentence i spend on. i am the reign of the dollar as a global reserve currency is being threatened amid mounting fears the u.s. central bank may not hold all the foreign gold it claims it has in its confidence.

this is aussie coming to live from moscow hello and welcome to the. the death toll from street battles in egypt continues to rise every hour and has now exceeded five hundred according to health officials relenting bloodshed is about to become as deadly as it was during the twenty seven revolution one scores of people were killed and on the crowded down and we have to warn you some of the images you're about to seen are disturbing cairo descended into chaos on wednesday once security forces swept through two of the biggest protest camps full of supporters of the ousted president mohamed morsy the clashes have now ratchet up by multiple levels away from the stone throwing mobs of the air at the capital saying shootouts

between groups of masked gunmen and police snipers violence was quick to spark in other cities and adopt a sectarian twist as islam supporters of the former leader rate of christian churches and all the turmoil which is raising the specter of civil war from aussies belcher and higher. this morning it seems to be getting on with their daily lives despite the fact that so yesterday we saw probably one of the most bloodiest days in egypt in modern history however we are expecting more protests as the day goes on and in particular funerals for the people who were killed yesterday across the nation in these very bloody clashes between supporters of ousted leader mohamed morsy and the security forces now the muslim brotherhood you are largely spearheading these protests are saying we are not going to back down the bloodshed is really just adding to their defiance as they will push for morsi to be reinstated and the constitution many people are actually saying this is going to

intensify the protests in the coming days as protesters have now launched several friends and family members in these extremely bloody clashes and i was there yesterday on the scene in the city sit in the main encampment for boise and it really was continuous gunfire from security forces firing on protesters both inside to come up with the news or anyone to tell. and to access them with live ammunition and gunshot automatic weapons as well as tear gas is also sectarian violence across the country which exploded yesterday as it is impossible to vomit morsi it's hard because 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 do follow bell on twitter she is always on the move to be the first to know and to keep you posted online. as president has done this iteration in egypt could worsen and become similar to

what's happening in syria abdullah goal doesn't thing become true will return to democracy any time soon either let's now take a look at how egypt has been trying to achieve that elusive democratic change for the past two and a half years so president mubarak was forced to step down early twenty's and during his near thirty eight strangle hold on power become true voted in a parliament in galle later but the results of that election war or no and declared unconstitutional the muslim brotherhoods mohammed morsi then achieved a slim electoral victory to become the new president he granted himself sweeping powers and trying to push through an islamist type constitution allows the center and that caused huge public outrage which continued until morsi was finally ousted by the military earlier this month so the country has come full circle back to military control or correspondent every margolis who's written extensively about

the mubarak the middle east says a western powers and doing anything to hold the situation which means the violence could get even worse. we are very close to the civil war in egypt not only in cairo but in that alexandria and down the nile that has headed the upper egypt the people get more militant there and it's historically areas that are violent so it's very worrisome what they've done is they've overthrown one of the arab world's only democratically elected governments they've reimposed the reactionary group of secure. bureaucrats judges they've taken over the media completely and all this is being financed with money from saudi arabia and kuwait and it's being allowed to happen because the western powers are turning a blind eye to what's going on they're saying tut tut tut it's not good but in fact

they really haven't done anything substantial to stop this putsch egypt cannot live without foreign financial support it cannot feed its own people it has to put fifty percent of its food so that. it either as they have patron in the united states or with the gulf arabs and the gulf arabs are deathly afraid of a revolution by their people so of course they're helping the counter revolution in egypt and in blunt has the middle east and step with a london based gone to newspaper says the muslim brotherhood's defeat sends a bad message to the rest of the region about the prospects of peaceful change. the striking fact about the state of emergency is of course that takes us back to the days are three. courses for barak's presidency with the man who was overthrown in the revolution of two thousand and eleven so in all these these laws are of an

indicator of how serious the crisis is in egypt and how polarized the country is as in many situations of confrontation internationally there is no security solution to a problem which in a fundamental sense is political you look around the region know the pictures very grim egypt and syria of course. the hopes for a peaceful change have largely been disappointed and put things in egypt matters that happen it matters to you because egypt's muslim brotherhood is the direct cendant of all of the original muslim brotherhood which began the wave of political is just being important across the middle east in recent years and especially during the period of spring so defeat of this kind for the muslim brotherhood and of course with the removal of president morsi. sends

a very negative signal about the prospects for peaceful change carried out like islamized parties and that doesn't auger well for egypt or indeed if the rest of the arab world. there's always there's much more what's happening at age of on our website you can find details a timeline of events and fast hand accounts from people caught in the think of it i've got you covered at aussie dot com. u.s. army whistleblower bradley manning startled his supporters via saying sorry for orchestrating the largest legal military date in history but according to wiki leaks manning who faces up to ninety years in prison for spend hours made their policy under duress

in the hope of appeasing the judge at his court martial of his elizabeth. 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 has suffers from issues and there's no excuse for 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. bradley manning is perhaps most famous for exposing this video which shows us

a poster now gunning down civilians in cold blood and that he also leaks hundreds of funnels of documents including u.s. diplomatic cables and war logs which were published by weekly x. even u.s. officials have admitted that manning's actions did not directly home anyone the whistleblower had previously defended the leak saying quote i felt a cold pushed something that allowed me to have a clear conscience and based upon what i had seen and what i had read about and knew was happening in both iraq and afghanistan every day and earlier we spoke with norman solomon who is spearheading a petition for bradley manning to be awarded the she is a nobel peace prize and more than one hundred thousand people have already signed it. 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. this is all see and so ahead for you in the program i will sponsor british police won't say anything to address complaints so racial bias will talk to those who claim they've been abused just ahead.

welcome bonobo shows on t.v. there are a fee is the u.s. dollar is losing its former glory on the world its trust in the currency as a safe haven a major blow came after germany central bank demanded the federal reserve return three hundred tons of gold lynn says it needs bonk she's ganna chicana explains now the assets of foreign nations and the fed may not be secure or even that a chill. behind these walls is one of the most secretive organizations in the world u.s. federal reserve websites to audit them hits the wall but wait to be impenetrable for three years the u.s. federal reserve has been the place where many countries of the word a big chunk of their nation's wealth as the country's weathered different waves of economic crises is not a disability 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 going to be there has been speculation for a long time that the fed doesn't actually have much good that he has either sold it all lent out or used it as collateral for borrowing 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 these gold with the federal reserve said that it's not possible that it would need until two thousand and twenty to be able to accomplish such a transfer germany then asked to visit the fed vaults to make sure that the gold is actually there but the fed first refused to permit germany to exempt examine its own gold then the germans apparently assisted in the fed did open only one of nine rules but they were not permitted to either enter or touch the gold the german government has stored about half of its schools supply with the us federal reserve so they are understandably nervous this makes not only germans nervous of course us

financially. commissions 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 as if they'd fact held no gold at all and were 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 the fed came to many countries in asia latin 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 us for safekeeping many countries have done that receiving said gold certificates in exchange but when they later tried to cash in those specific kids and reclaim their gold they were told the certificates were fake that they contain spelling another mistake so on and so forth and the fed still has all that gold the

power of the u.s. federal reserve has grown dramatically especially since the one nine hundred seventy when the us cut the link between dollars and and gold that allowed the u.s. dollar 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 in just the value of the country's 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. china's been gobbling up gold on mars so much so the country's consumption of the precious metal jumped more than fifty percent in the first half of this year and there's also speculation beijing could be holding up to ten thousand tonnes and its reserves and potentially preparing

a return to the gold standard venture capital show host to people be explained that the chinese buyers have been snapping it up because it's cheaper prize music currently consider a ball good also 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 with 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 your all the dollar year for gold china's recent interest demonstrates the precious metals lost none of its sign so if the dollar and the world could change

a bunch of the gold standard and it doesn't happens china is most likely to come out on top that's what james corbett as it's over the corporate report news website told my colleague andrew from. if we start to see that us dollar being chipped away as a global reserve the question is what will be around to replace it and one of the answers one of the possible answers could be a system like we used we saw in the wake of world war two we saw the bretton woods system of fixed exchange rates so it was a system but in some way you could say was backed up in some form by gold mostly gold that was held by the u.s. at the time and i think we could see a similar type of system take take the place of the current us dollar fee at reserve system ok so let's ashamed that does happen what impact on the well to call me will that have well it would certainly put. a central bank like china which presumably has been adding furiously to its stockpile in recent years although we don't know the exact numbers on that but it would put

a country like that in a relatively stronger position than other countries which have either not been adding quite as much or even been undermining some of their their their gold supplies so it would create a very different economic landscape the chinese owned state owned companies have been buying up so much of the mining infrastructure around the world for gold mining i think they are definitely at an upper hand in nancy in that game if it ever did come to that. all scurrying around on line twenty four seven and here's what we're covering at altitude of call right now boosting public diplomacy the israeli government says to recruit students as undercover agents find out more about the new force in the making. and day you are buying a moon calls for unmanned aircraft to be used for surveillance and not as weapons we've got the full story at i'll take off for you.

and i think. we're going to. now and that is some other today's headline is your own chemical weapons experts say they're ready to head to syria to proclaims of chemical weapons use that ousmane comes after damascus gave the yuan a green light to conduct the inquiry the inspectors are planning to stay for at least two weeks and to visit three sites where toxic substances may have been used however diplomats and i expose have comes down to whether the u.n. team will find anything since the alleged attacks took place several months ago. while those thirty people have been killed and dozens wounded after a wave of car bombings in the iraqi capital baghdad one of them targeted these

so-called green zone a highly fortified area housing western diplomatic missions today's blasts are the latest in what are almost daily sectarian attacks which have claimed nearly four thousand lives since the start of the here. or you can watchdog says british police need a cultural change in a bid to tackle of a snowballing claims of racism figures show black people are seven times more likely to be searched by police on the street and white people and us to senior found out most of the time it's without any evidence. one morning while driving to work nathan was stopped by the police and asked to step out of his car aggressively showered. and useful of paris so i said to him you know sort of in your own cars i've asked for cigarettes they don't kind of miss a piece lady was walking past me so i said you know to do anything and her reply

was that he was going to check your car may have been says they grabbed his wrists at which point he started getting angry is only when i got to the police station what he told me is when he told me. to do fifteen or forty speeding yeah so. i don't 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 unwanted 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 tech the intelligence around stopping an individual not just because they just happen to be hanging on the street corner ed 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 his done in the wrong way and it can make people feel really going to be 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 then the trust and confidence that you know the police will destroy the community should hide in the place 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 when you get pulled over about nine times in one year you know it gets a bit. frustrating are you so angry where when i when i think back i do i do get angry but i try to keep i just try to get on with it really from you know treated unfairly again i can make sure i do take it and to put in a complaint. just are still here r.t. london. coming up next it's wells upon.

what defines a country's success. faceless figures of economic growth. or a factual standard of living.

more news today in holland says once again flared up. saying these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. shining corporations are the day. exactly what happened that day i don't know but a woman i killed. piers later is when i got arrested for. her crime i did not do. we have numerous cases where police officers lie about polygraph results. people to consent to 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 taking they could do what they wanted they could say what they wanted and there was no evidence of what
