very early. on the latest numbers here on r.t. more than five hundred people have been killed nationwide in egypt in the bloodiest violence the country has seen since the toppling of hosni mubarak with almost no sign that a solution is any way. wiki leaks claims the us army bradley manning has been forced to apologize for appealing war crimes perhaps in the hope of easing his sentence. and the reign of the global reserve currency is being threatened with mounting fears the u.s. central bank may not hold all the foreign gold it claims to have.

its just moments off the ten in the evening here in moscow it's r t with me will receive this hour's top headlines for you the death toll in egypt's latest wave of unrest has now exceeded five hundred deaths according to local health officials and more bloody violence is feared after police were authorized to use deadly force to protect themselves and state institutions correspondent bill true has this report from cairo. the latest reports we've just had 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 on which to hundreds die and security forces who promised to do a peaceful disperse vote all of the supporters of move in and sit ins basically

opened fire for several hours causing a huge death toll there are also expected to be marches later this afternoon run by the missing brotherhood and the supporters of morsy who 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 to set with families who are identifying the dead they are as i said extremely determined and very angry up to losing their sons and husbands and brothers so 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 we're seeing such bloody scenes really unprecedented in the recent history of egypt certainly the use of light on the mission in such an extent by the security forces in addition civilians are increasingly armed and so there have been reports of morsi supporters is particularly in the giza camp firing back at the police and also civilians in terms

of residents attacking supporters in addition we've had this new choices he said of sectarian violence dozens of churches have been ransacked raided and torched including christian buildings and homes many to feed that this escalate this could actually escalate into its own kind of battle itself to assing a massively divided country civilians increasingly arms as well as sick tarion issues on the horizon so you know at the moment people are wondering that this might actually descend into a full blown civil war. artie's belcher reporting there now in the meantime turkey's president has said the situation in egypt could worsen and ultimately become similar to what is happening in syria. doesn't think the country will return to democracy any time soon let's have a look here on r.t. how egypt has been trying to achieve that elusive democratic change now for the past two and a half years of president mubarak he was forced to step down in early twenty eleven ending is near thirty year rule of the country voted in a parliament a year later but the results of that election were an old and declared

constitutional of the muslim brotherhood to mohamed morsi then achieved a rather slim electoral victory to become the new president he granted himself sweeping powers and try to push through an islamist type constitution last december and that just cause huge public outrage which continued until morsi was finally ousted by the military early last month so ultimately the country's come full circle back to the out of military control and me an award winning journalist and author says that she can see no way for egypt to escape from this dark circle. 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 thank god 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 is 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 we 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 they die but at least now we can be free of the terrorists in and that i think is one of the worst in the scariest developments and that's what's going to lead egypt down a dark cap 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 a condom is in freefall the banks of clothes the stock markets lost cairo airport emergency a lot of churches a trip burning tires for lease and it's just like oh my god am i watching we how is this how are we two and a half years on and things are only and worse and worse and i we spoke to war correspondent margulies he says that we're seeing

a many factors now coming into play in egypt ultimately though they're just adding up to one explosive situation. 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 areas going to violence 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 a reactionary group of security officers police 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 has to have a patron in 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. there is much more in what's happening in egypt on our web site of a you can find a detailed timeline of events on the first time the counts from people caught right in the thick of it right now that's up at auti dot com this hour. it's good to have you with us here on r.t. today i'm real research now u.s. army will blow a bradley manning has startled his supporters by saying sorry for orchestrating the

largest leak of military data in history but according to wiki leaks manning who faces now up to ninety years in prison for espionage he might have made the apology under duress perhaps in the hope of appeasing the judge orders court martial details here to ati's lives while. 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 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 this video right here which shows u.s. military personnel gunning down iraqi civilians in cold blood he also leaked hundreds of thousands of documents including u.s. diplomatic cables and war logs which were then published by wiki leaks now even u.s. officials have admitted that manning's actions did not directly harm anyone it was a blow had previously defended the leak ultimately saying quote that i felt like i accomplished something that allowed me to have a clear conscience based upon what i had seen a what i'd read about a new what was happening in both iraq and afghanistan on a daily basis i hear it out to you a bit earlier we spoke to norman solomon who's a spearheading a petition for bradley manning to be awarded this year's nobel peace prize so for more than one hundred thousand people have already signed it. while 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. it's ten minutes past the almost go time still ahead for you in this program. british police for failing to address complaints of racial bias towards those who claim they've been abused that is just ahead for you with the rest of the world's top headlines.

choose your language call it a killer though if. someone. chooses the consensus to. choose the opinions that. choose the

stories that impact. choose peace. officers. live from moscow it's r t there are fears the u.s. dollar is losing its former glory and the world its trust in the currency is a safe haven a major blow came after germany's central bank demanded the federal reserve return three hundred tons of gold bullion says it needs back artie's guy nature can explain the assets of foreign nations in the fed may not be very well secured or perhaps when be even be there in the first place. behind these walls is one of the most secretive organizations in the world u.s. federal reserve websites to audit them hits the 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 nations well as the countries whether it's 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 the reason being there has been speculation for a long time that the fed doesn't actually have much good that it has either sold it all lent it 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 but the federal reserve says 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 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 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 now we see many countries trying to maneuver away from the u.s. dollar is the main reserve currency and we see many central bank. increasing their own gold reserves anything after all these years the world decided they put too much power in this one building. or let's give you more scope on the story it was back in one thousand nine hundred four that economies exhausted by world war two

and seeking security agreed to use the us dollar as a global reserve currency that was fixed to gold at thirty five u.s. dollars per ounce the federal reserve started gathering other countries gold for safe keeping or giving them significant in exchange for the nine hundred seventy s. the link between the dollar and the gold was cut and the world moved from gold standard to a paper money system since then the dollars being printed out of thin air with the banking system expanding and the debts soaring and there is a growing feeling the dollars days are numbered meanwhile china is pushing its you on to become the new international reserve currency of beijing's being gobbling up gold on mass and there's speculation that it could be holding up to ten thousand tons in its reserves aussies venture capital show host kitty pilgrim reports savvy chinese buyers have been snapping it out because it is cheaper price means a currently consider all good also a feeling demand is a desire for a physical access instead of bombs or betting on foreign exchanges so here we go

then these other countries of 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 or all the year for gold china's recent surge in interest them astray is the precious metals lost none of its sign. now if the dollar era is coming to an end the world could change back to the gold standard and if that happens china is most likely to come out on top that's according to james corbett of the colbert report news website he spoke to my colleague andrew farmer a bit earlier in the day if we start to see that u.s. 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 to 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 assume 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 under-eating some of 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 and

i think they are definitely at an upper hand in that sea in that game if it ever did come to that. to open up the aussie boat update or at least fourteen people have been killed over two hundred wounded following a blast in a hezbollah stronghold in lebanon's capital and the explosion occurred on a main road army officials say was caused by a car bomb just last month a similar attack killed fifty in a neighboring suburb and sectarian tensions have been high in lebanon to do to hezbollah's active involvement in the ongoing civil war in syria. and un chemical weapons experts say they're ready to head to syria indeed to probe claims of chemical weapons use the announcement comes after damascus gave the u.n. a green light to conduct the inquiry and the inspectors are planning to stay for at least two weeks and visit three sites where toxic substances may have been used over diplomats and experts have cost the doubt on whether the u.n. team can find anything since the alleged attack took place and also for months ago

. more than thirty people have been killed and dozens wounded after a wave of car bombings in baghdad one of them targeted the so-called green zone a highly fortified area housing western diplomatic missions and today's blasts of the latest basically almost daily sectarian attacks which of claim nearly four thousand lives since the start of the year. now u.k. watchdog says british police now. a cultural change in a bid to tackle ever snowballing claims of racism in figures show that black people are seven times more likely to be searched by police on the street than white people and as test arsole are found out most of the time is without any probable cause. one morning while driving to work nathan was stopped by the police and asked to step out of his car aggressively.

so i. kind of miss a piece brady was walking. you know. anything i was going was going to mason 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 he 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 but i've been stopped 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 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 it's done in the wrong way and it can make people feel really going to 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 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 when you get pulled over about nine times in one year you know it gets a bit does get a bit frustrating are you so angry when you're when i when i think back on it i do 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 well and to put my

complaint. tester cilia r.t. london let's go about our top story of the past two days here on r.t. and the violence in egypt where the bloody standoff between the supporters of the toppled president and the police backed by the army is now claiming hundreds of lives are more analysis on the situation dollars talk to political activist mohamed how are you joining us live here from cairo good to see you today thanks for coming on the program what are you thinking ultimately of the best words to describe what's happening in egypt right now we're hearing from all sorts of analysts around the world they keep throwing out the term civil war what's your thoughts. the i think it's a very farfetched to describe what's happening as a civil war what we really have right here is a insurgent group that was trying to hijack the country for their own good and you basically have the whole country policing this. sorry

to say this terrorist group and the whole country is now these two this terror and what we have egypt right now is a typical war on terror unfortunately the western media is not recognizing so as i'm sure you bring it you bring up the word of terrorism and terrorists and just exactly who you are referring to and. talking about the muslim brotherhood who very openly threaten the bible and terrorism that's going on inside night will not stop and until that president morsi is reinstated an artist this is as obvious as you can get in the terms of. threats on earth when are you i mean you talk about the muslim brotherhood you're calling them terrorists let's see the latest assertion by the egyptian authorities now authorizing police to use deadly force to protect themselves and state institutions from attack so what do you make of that ruling because we've got over five hundred

people killed in the last couple of days. well. i wonder is it ok for the west to combat terrorism with deadly force and we are not allowed to use the same. how do these double standards come off. the fact of the matter is tons of weaponry were caught in that sentence of rubble and over a month up there was no way to disperse them but to use force and actually. dispersing of the citizens was very gradual they were given and want them to disperse and on the day of the operation they were given several warnings to disperse and who ever was left where armed individuals of the muslim brotherhood not peaceful protesters and we saw all of the lines of peaceful but we are only

sorry when you talk about terrorism terrorists and peaceful protesters we've got reports all even some civilians having weapons so i suppose my question is how women and children becoming casualties in all of this. it's a tactic that has always been used by the muslim brotherhood. and they use the always use women and children as shields and. i believe that the police used the most restraint they were able to use to see the lives of these women and children and innocent protesters in the middle of the violence. all right a political activist mohammad how are you joining us live here on i cairo thank you very much for your time today thank you it was a pleasure having having all of you with us here on our team today coming up in just a moment it's prime interest how you can stay but us for that. exactly

what happened that day i don't. build. 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 to get 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 do what they wanted they can say what they wanted and there was no evidence of what they did or what they said. to me. more news today violence is once again flared up. saying these are the images cold world has been seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations are ruled the day.

and good afternoon welcome to prime interest i'm marianne blowing and i am bob english it seems to me about. the london whale has its cape the prosecutorial in that are no excel the j.p. morgan chase trader who earned himself the nickname after a six billion dollars trading loss last year is off the fishing hook so to speak the recent agreement with the us authorities yesterday so it looks like the mainstream media has successfully floated his freedom but now it seems federal authorities have another fish to fry today they moved up the food chain charging pixels former boss with wire fraud and a conspiracy to also play records now they've decided not to go after extolled so that could crack the case wide open and that's because he will be used as a witness for the prosecution so let's see how.
