well then five hundred people have now been killed nationwide in egypt. the country has seen. almost no sign that any solution is on the horizon. with the u.s. army. has been forced to apologize for war crimes in the hope of easing his sentence for espionage. and that the reign of the dollar as a global reserve currency is being. made mounting fears that u.s. central bank may not hold all the foreign gold that it claims to have.

the world's top headlines for this hour. thank you for tuning in. the death toll in egypt's latest wave of unrest has now exceeded five hundred this according to local health officials and more bloody violence is feared off the police who are authorized to use deadly force to protect themselves and that of the state institutions. true reports from cairo. the latest reports we 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 dispersed 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 to looking really at a very very tense atmosphere here 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 live ammunition in such an extent by the security forces in addition civilians are increasingly armed and so there have been reports all of mostly 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 see that this escalate this could actually escalate into its own kind of battle itself to seeing 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. reporting that in the meantime turkey's president has said the situation in egypt could worsen and. becomes similar to what is happening in syria. doesn't think the country will return to democracy any time soon let's have a look now at how egypt has been trying to achieve that elusive democratic change now for the past two and a half years president mubarak was forced to step down in early two thousand and eleven ending his nearly thirty years of rule and then 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 mohamed morsi and then achieved

a rather slim electoral victory to become the new president in the grounds of himself a sweeping powers and trying to push through an islamist type constitution last december of course that just caused a huge public outrage which continued until morsi was finally ousted by the military early last month so the country is ultimately come full circle back to the military control and he thought me an award winning journalist and author says that she sees no way for egypt to escape this vicious 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 square has been cleaned and 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 egypt is for their fellow egyptians and it isn't just christian muslim which is already a problem in and 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 path i think everyone is complaining here everyone's got 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 even pre-flood the banks of clothes the stock markets lots of cairo airport emergency there are churches a trade 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 get worse and worse along with the bring in political activists to ahmed the kiba for more analysis on the situation unfolding in egypt a big hello to you from all to moscow thanks very much for joining us on the

program today you were among those are calling for the ousting of president morsi six weeks ago now that he's been toppled do you support the violence that is being held against the pro morsi protesters. absolutely not so this is this is not what i have subscribed for when i went down the street on the thirtieth of june i did not necessarily want. anything but an early election a democratic two that is known to all democracies but what has happened now this is a fully fledged coup turning bloody not just that but that eat their young and the emerging the emergence of the mubarak regime with all the layers that are in place such as national security and it's all these violations and human rights violations and horrible track record as you say over the old pillars of the mubarak foundation coming back to take power there in cairo but but ultimately though i did flare up when morsi was in power but we've never seen such violence like this for so many

deaths occurring do you think that some are saying now that the country was much better and more secure under mohammed morsi well definitely the economic scene was quite back the security apparatus has always been loyal to the old regime and created security issues although morsi did jean we've all known that however what we what we see now this hump in. security measures not just the violations of human rights and also all the comeback of all the parliament that were ruled out of structure. in the in the national the are coming back with all the retired generals being replaced in playback in their positions that is a significant left of the the mechanic process that is not just that but also the full circle of corruption between corrupt judiciary corrupt military

generals. businessman and the pressure from the countries that are saudi arabia kuwait and it's a full circle a push against the success of a revolution in egypt now we certainly had a couple of analysts from the past twenty four hours who said to wait in saudi arabia are directly involved in this stuff funneling perhaps weapons but definitely cash into egypt what is their role in all of this well they are afraid of their own they realize that out of the lucian out of spirits that their drones are gone that is why the middest have been harboring the old eugene pillar such as the former candidate for the presidency should be and have been in close contact with the military generals in egypt and other opposition leaders from the national salvation front now what we see is that intervention will fire back at them either way the

people that evolution's assets are gone but in egypt to spend a lot bill over that is inevitable today. you know the radical cleric in saudi will more or less say that the saudis drones have betrayed islam and other. cleric and clergy in the gulf will inevitably go again those more not for that obviously we've got these clashes going on between the pro and anti morsi supporters on the protests as well the police have been authorized to use deadly force do you think the average person there on the street understands the external factors that are having an influencing hand as you said kuwait and saudi arabia. well not everyone definitely is on the same page and they don't understand the ramifications of what has happened what has happened not only will have this and into some perhaps of the war but also that we've seen the need of being

a menu to being unique understand the united states. a state has a sense statements that have cancer genes saying that they will not cooperate with them and that they will most probably be cleared of them as illegal illegitimate regime in egypt any to dream that kills its own people in masochism would sure be like what we've seen yet that they does not deserve to rule and has no digital read i've got very very little time left for finally we're hearing that dozens of coptic church of have been ransacked around the country throughout the day by islamists so why do you think the christian minority is now paying the price for the crackdown as well we'll have to understand the history of burning churches goes back to the mubarak regime where his own security forces used to make those events themselves and prepare them so that they can implicate the islamists i do not deny that there are radicals that have. to burn down churches and attack christians and this

perhaps will exasperate the problem but you never did rule out that what is happening is to implicate the islamists and make them look like that ever so yes they have history some of them have repeatedly used to hate rhetoric of hatred against cops but this is a scene that is very confusing and the mainstream media has been using the words terrorism and war on terrorism and we all know the conversation when it comes to the war on terrorism is to polarize the society to be either with or against the main establishment our political activist after might not be joining us live here in our to your great pleasure that's very insightful and thank you for your time that of. well it's good to have you with us here on r.t. i'm rory sushi american defense analyst and author ivan eland he says the fact that the u.s. will keep supporting the egyptian military or runs counter to washington's rhetorical stance on that of democracy. if you look at u.s. policy it's usually based on u.s. interests and the u.s. interests that the administration perceives in this case are supporting the

military which we've done since the late one nine hundred seventy s. to keep it in the israeli egyptian peace agreement and that's the core of u.s. policy is israel in the middle east problem is it's getting very embarrassing for the administration because the military really brutally cracked down on the protesters they promised to do it gradually to leave in a space for people to leave the camps if they wanted to use only non-lethal weapons and of course they came with snipers on buildings and now live ammunition and so it's a very embarrassing to the u.s. to have the military. and military behave this way when the u.s. is providing one point three billion in aid but of course that runs counter to the american position of supporting democracy rhetorically in egypt and other places. there is much more on what's happening in egypt on our website you can find

a detailed timeline of events on the first time accounts from people caught right in the thick of it that's for you this hour of right up at auty dot com right now. it's good to have you with us here on the program tonight a u.s. army was a bit of a bradley manning has startled his supporters by saying sorry for writing the largest leak of military date here in history but according to wiki leaks manning who faces up to ninety years in prison for espionage made the apology under duress in the hope of appeasing the judge at his court martial liz wahl has 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 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. now bradley manning is perhaps most famous for exposing this video right here which shows the u.s. military personnel gunning down iraqi civilians in cold blood he also leaked hundreds of looting u.s. diplomatic cables and war logs which of course were published then by wiki leaks and even u.s. officials have admitted that manning's actions did not directly harm anyone though the whistleblower how to actually previously defended the leak saying that quote i felt i had accomplished something that allowed me to have

a clear conscience based upon what i had seen and what i'd read about what i knew was happening on a daily basis both in iraq and afghanistan well earlier we spoke to norman solomon who spearheading a petition for bradley manning to be awarded this year's nobel peace prize for more than a hundred thousand people who have already had a go at signing. 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 and i'm still ahead for you this hour here on a watchdog slams british police for failing to address complaints of racial bias towards those who claim they've been abused and the rest of the world's top headlines in just a. little . technology innovations all the developments around russia. that's huge you're covered. sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you. are welcome is a big picture.

speak your language. programs in documentaries in arabic it's all here on. reporting from the world it's the v.o.i.p. interviews intriguing story are you. trying. to find out more visit. this is now there are fears 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 off to germany's central bank demanded the federal reserve return three hundred tons of gold says it needs back. the assets of foreign

nations in the fed may not be secure or for the matter that is that they may not 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 it's a wall this place is impenetrable for we 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 around the 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 been there there has been speculation for a long time that the fed doesn't actually have much gold that has either sold it all 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 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 take you back for a moment here in our city it was in one thousand nine hundred four that economies exhausted by world war two and seeking security agreed to use the u.s. dollar as a global reserve currency it was fixed gold at thirty five u.s. dollars per ounce the federal reserve started gathering other countries gold for safe keeping giving them certificates in exchange but in the nineteen seventies the link between the dollar and gold was cut and the world moved from gold standard to a paper money system since then the dollar has been printed out of thin air with the banking system expanding and the debts soaring and there's a growing feeling that the dollars days are out numbered meanwhile china is pushing its you one to become the new international reserve currency of beijing's been

gobbling up gold on mass speculation it could be holding up to ten thousand tons in the reserves all these venture capital show host katie pilbeam explains some of the chinese buyers have been snapping it up because it is cheaper price means they currently consider a bargain also a feeling demand is a desire for physical assets instead of bonds 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 all the dull years ago china's recent interest demonstrates the precious metals lost none of its sign. now if indeed the

dollar era does come to an end the world can change back to the gold standard and if that happens though china is most likely to come out on top that's according to james corbett of the corporate news report website and he was talking to my colleague andrew pharma 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 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 us dollar fee reserve system ok so let's a shame 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 eaning 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 be nancy in that game if it ever did come to that or before to the kaiser report let's give you this u.k. watchdog says british police need a cultural change and a bit to tackle ever snowballing claims of racism the latest figures show that black people are seven times more likely to be so it by police on the street than white people test ross any reports. one morning while driving to work nathan was stopped by the police and asked to step out of his car aggressively

. and you. saw. a priest lady was walking. you know. of anything. nathan says they grabbed his wrists at which point he started getting angry is anyone going to the police station he told me when he told me. fifteen 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 unwanted for work 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 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 at of more than one million stop and searches recorded each year only about nine percent result in the rest 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 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 lost in response to a report by the independent police complaints commission which found that startling 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 showing 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 a port of about nine times in one year you know it gets a bit does get frustrating are you so angry. well you know when i when i think back when i do i do get angry but i try to keep i just try to go materially from you

know treated unfairly again i can make sure i do take it well and to put in a complaint see where it gets tough so cilia artsy london. just a moment here in our next kaiser going up to the world's money makers and the scandalous manipulation of your time and your money. 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 changed 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 and this type of game there is 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 detail twenty five minute video depicting all the gross historical inaccuracies and exaggerations throughout the game but he 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 sitting right flawless infantry directly into machine gun fire was part of the soviet army manual maybe it's 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 historic. cation but that's just my opinion.

welcome to the kaiser report imax kaiser scientists say we can now control rates with our mines. for ben bernanke and mark carney the canal just stares the interest rate yield curve think real hard and make it do what they want now understand forward guidance. things is not rate it's a rat it's we can now control rats with our minds next stop.
