think. so. more of the five hundred people have been killed in nationwide in egypt in the bloodiest violence the country had seen as the toppling of the dictator hosni mubarak with all that snow sign a solution to the point is on the horizon. he makes claims u.s. army whistleblower bradley manning has been forced to apologize for revealing her crimes in the whole book easing the sentence for i spend. the reign of the dollar as a global reserve currency is being threatened and made known to be is the u.s. central bank may not hold all of the foreign gold it claims it has and it's called .

this is coming to live from moscow hello and welcome to the show. the death toll from street battles in egypt continues to rise every hour and has now exceeded five hundred according to health officials the unrelenting bloodshed is about to become as deadly as it was during the twenty eleven revolution when scores of people were killed and on a crackdown and you may find the images you are about to see now disturbing cairo descended into chaos on wednesday when security forces swept through protests count full of supporters of the ousted president mohamed morsy the clashes have now ratcheted up by multiple levels away from the stone throwing mobs of the mostly air the capital cities shootouts between groups of masked gunmen and police snipers the

rest has also adopted a sectarian twist as islamist supporters of morsi started raiding christian churches and let's now cross live to r.t. as well truth who is live in cairo for us about nice to see what are the latest developments on the ground now that. the latest reports we just of the supporters of ousted leader mohamed morsi have attacked a governor building here in the capital just in giza which is on the outskirts of cairo they are obviously extremely angry are following yesterday's bloody onslaught which some of hundreds die in the security forces you promise to do a peaceful dispersal of support as it moves in one city and you know obesity opened fire for several hours causing a huge death toll there are also expected to be marches later this afternoon run by the muslim brotherhood and supporters of morsi you basically are rejecting the way that the security forces treated them and saying they will not be intimidated they

want to continue protesting until mohamed morsy is reinstated and the constitution now i just came back from a mall which is where the protests are starting with families who are identifying the dates they are as i said extremely determined and very angry after losing their sons. husbands and brothers too looking really at a very very tense atmosphere in egypt as the security forces go head to head with the muslim brotherhood and supporters of mousavi and where is the ongoing turmoil needing egypt. with this is the biggest question everyone's asking at the moment we're seeing such bloody scenes really unprecedented in the recent history of egypt even from the eighteen days or so a lot of certainly the use live ammunition in such a stance by the security forces on protesters had never been seen before in addition civilians are increasingly armed and sorry to have been reports all. these accounts firing back at the police and also you civilians in terms of residents

attacking supporters in addition we've had this new traces you said of sectarian violence dozens of churches have been run raided and torched including christian buildings and homes leaving many to be that this escalate this could actually escalate into its own kind of battle itself to see a massively divided country civilians increasingly arms as well as terry in issues on the horizon so you know at the moment people are wondering that this might actually descend into a full blown civil war. live from cairo about thank you very much. meanwhile president assad this iteration egypt could was an undercount similar to what's happening in syria abdullah go doesn't think the country will return to democracy and anytime soon either and let's not take a look at how egypt has been trying to achieve that elusive democratic change for the past two and a half years president mubarak was forced to step down and twenty eleven and his

net says he is trying to hold on power the country voted in a palm and a year later but the results of that election were an out and declared unconstitutional the muslim brotherhoods mohamed morsi then achieved a slim electro big trade to become the new president he granted him some. so whipping powers and trying to push through an islamist type constitution last december and that caused huge public outrage which continued until morsi was fine and ousted by the military last month so the country is it come full circle back to military control and at our top me an award winning journalist and author can see no way for egypt to escape from this dark path and i think actually the worst thing that's happening now is not actually to the deaths but it's how injections themselves have changed the amount of people i've heard just yesterday talk about how the square has been cleaned even the word in arabic it's such

a strong word to use that it's been cleaned up the muslim brotherhood there's so much hatred i have never seen so much hatred from egyptians for their fellow egyptians and it isn't just christian muslim which is already a problem you had in egypt but just in difference an ideological perspective say muslims talking about their other fellow muslim egyptians in the sense that they deserve to die that we're so sad eyed but at least now we can be free of the terrorists and that i think is one of the worst and the scariest developments and that's what's going to lead egypt down a dark path i think everyone is playing here everyone has their own agenda everyone has their own reasons and in a very sad way everyone has something to benefit from this but again like i said i think the biggest loser is just egypt as a country you know the footage we've been seeing aerial footage everything burning economies in freefall the banks of close the stock markets lost cairo airport emergency light churches a trip burning tires felice and it's just like oh my god am i watching we how is

this how are we to and a half years on and things are only get worse and worse and royal correspondent eric margolis has written extensively about the made me state says western powers doing anything to help 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 as you head into upper egypt the people get more militant there and it's historically in areas larger violent so it's very worrisome what they've done is they've overthrown a one of the arab world's only democratically elected governments they've reimposed the reactionary group of security officers leaves 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 he there has to have a patron and the united states or with the gulf arabs in the gulf arabs are deathly afraid of a revolution by their people so of course they're helping the counter revolution in egypt. and as much malls happening in egypt now websites and you can find links halle's timeline of events and first hand accounts from people they pay to let them go you're covered.

u.s. army whistleblower bradley manning has startled his supporters by saying sorry for orchestrating the largest leak of military data in these tree but according to wiki leaks manning who faces up to ninety years in prison for a spent made under duress in the hope of appeasing the johns at his court martial oh he is liz will has the details 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 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 bradley manning is perhaps most famous for exposing a base vizio which shows u.s. military personnel gunning down iraqis civilians in cold blood and he also leaks hundreds of thousands of documents including u.s. diplomatic cables and warlords which were published by week in leaks even u.s. officials have admitted that mining actions did not directly harm anyone the whistleblower had previously defended the leaks saying quote i felt i had accomplished something that allowed me to have a clear conscience 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's spearheading a petition for bradley manning to be awarded this year's nobel peace prize more

than a 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 what's he and so i had for you in the. emotional slums where dish pennies failing to address complaints of racial violence for those who claim a thing against the. old

you're watching all us here live from moscow welcome back there are fears the u.s. dollar is losing its former glory on the woad its trust in the currency had to say pay when a major blow came up to germany's central bank demanded the federal reserve three hundred tons of gold but it says it needs by see is again a trick and explains now the assets of foreign nations and the fed may not be secure or even that will. behind these walls is one of the most secretive organizations in the world u.s. federal reserve whether it's nice to audit them it's a wall this place is 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 not 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 the reason being 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 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 these gold with the federal reserve says 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 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 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 balls but the story leaked out that they in 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 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. back in nineteen forty four economies exhausted by world war two and seeking security agreed to use the euro as dollar as a global reserve currency it was fixed to gold at thirty five years dollars per ounce the federal reserve started gathering other countries gold for safe keeping giving them stiff accords in exchange but in the nineteen seventies the link

between the dollar and gold was caught and the world moved from gold standard to a paper money system and since then the dollar has been printed out of thin air with the banking system system expanding and debts soaring and there's a growing feeling that dollars days are numbered meanwhile china's pushing its yuan to become the new international reserve currency beijing has been gobbling up gold on mars and there's speculation it could be holding up to town thousand tons in its reserves venture capital show host katie people being or explain some of the chinese buyers have been snapping it up because it's cheaper price means they currently consider a bargain also feeling demand is a desire for a physical assets instead of bonds 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 suggested 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 all the dull years ago china's recent surge of interest demonstrates the precious metals lost none of its sign. and if they do all the air and the wild could change back to the gold standard and if that happens china is most likely to come out on top on james cool but at its over the colbert report news website told my colleague and her followers if we start to see that u.s. dollar being chipped away as the 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 use we saw in the wake of world war two we saw the bretton woods system of fixed exchange rates so it was

a system that 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 u.s. dollar fee reserve system ok so let's ashamed that. 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 under-rating some of their their their gold supplies so it would create a very different economic landscape the chinese 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 screen underlying twenty four seven and here's what we're

nathan was stopped by the police and asked to step out of his car. so i said you know. a priest lady was walking. you know to do anything and. nathan says they grabbed his wrists at which point he started getting angry is only when i got to the police station and what he told me is when they told me. to do fifteen or 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 tech and the intelligence around stopping an individual not just because they just happen to be hanging on the street corner and have 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 of these experiences may have. it can have a very negative impact if 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 then the trust and confidence that you know the police will destroy the community should hide in the place is the last 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 realise that the police have a job to do but in winning the port of about nine times in one year you know it gets a bit. frustrating are you so angry where when i when i think back on it i do i

do i do get angry but i try to keep that to 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.e. london. and that's again the pentagon's decision to sell billions of dollars worth of weapons to an increasingly unstable iraq break just. the video game company of heroes two is facing a lot of heat from gamers inside the former soviet union in fact fourteen thousand people thus far have taken the time to sign a change dot org petition to get the game removed from former communist shelves

across the land why are people so mad this looks like some sort of world war two game i mean in this type of game there's going to be a murdering of hawkers or virtual rampaging through cities with rocket launchers so why did they start a petition for you to blogger called the bad comedian made a detailed twenty five minute video depicting all the gross historical inaccuracies and exaggerations throughout the game the game prefers the soviet army as a pack of slave driving before with every soviet officer wanting nothing more than to shoot his old soldiers in the back or send them to the gulag forthwith according to polygon dot com the game exploits rare moments in the wars history like some very limited battles or soviet soldiers went in unarmed and made it look as if sending right fullest infantry directly into machine gun fire was part of the soviet army manual maybe it is a bit oversensitive to flip out over a dumb video game but lies repeated often enough will become true in the minds of millions of people who play the game and that's why you can't back down when it

comes to historical falsification but that's just my opinion. to live on one hundred thirty three bucks a month for food i should try it because you know how fabulous bad luck i got so. i mean. i know that i'm supposed to really mess. and we're all very slow actually. a. little worse for the little thing going to lie down to the. radio guy for a minute i think i want to go for

a budget because you've never seen anything like this i'm telling. you. what's going on guys i mean martin and this is breaking the set the summary rock sides to 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 a.
