it's ten am here in moscow eight am in cairo how many said no way and this is our top story egypt's muslim brotherhood has been striking back against security forces after a crackdown on their protest camps in the capital and they're not done yet they organize organize and wants all of those who supported ousted president morsi to join a march of anger on friday where the country's been engulfed in violence health officials say the number of those killed on wednesday its assault is at least six hundred and thirty eight this led president obama to cancel military exercises between the u.s. and egypt and criticize the interim government for the clamp down with already said obama's remarks could encourage further violence because the country is under

attack by terrorists so the answer meanwhile taking protection into their. own hands because the unrest is showing little signs of ending our true well true is in cairo and now joins us live from the egyptian capital well more retributions planned by the muslim brotherhood this friday tell us more about what we can expect . today people are bracing themselves across the country because it is the first friday after wednesday's massacre and traditional protest day the muslim brotherhood and supporters of mohamed morsi have said that they are going to launch twenty eight marches across the capital starting from the major mosques and ending up at state government buildings now this is obviously quite a worrying time because there's been a lot of clashes state buildings government buildings and of course with the security forces even off the wednesday's massacre the protest is no longer have the

two sit ins in the capital and therefore having to start at various different mosques i went back to their encampment yesterday and there was just really piles of burning tents and debris the mosque not the city where they had been living at was just a shell so people here are very anxious to this is going to end up in more violence the protests for their part are completely determined to keep going they've now lost so many relatives and fellow protesters they say they will not be intimidated by the army and the movement really just trying to identify what happened to their midst missing loved ones there are many makeshift morgues still functioning across the city that these protesters are going to literally going from body to body attempting to find what happened to you know missing protester or even relatives meanwhile there has been international condemnation of wednesday's action which was an extraordinary show of force from the security forces and no simply the u.s. has has condemned it in multiple statements president obama himself counseled

a joint military exercise between the u.s. and egypt saying you know off today said. very bloody events on wednesday secretary secretary of state john kerry said it was a deplorable action the e.u. as well has condemned it among many other countries including turkey france denmark pakistan afghanistan it's really been a collective show of anger against the egyptian government as this bloody events continue. bell true reporting for us live in cairo where mass protests are expected despite the violence the massacre like you say we saw it wednesday bell stay safe we will certainly be in touch with you throughout the day . well the military has been using live ammunition as we've heard from bell since this latest bout of on rest kicked off more shocking footage of civilians being fired on house or worse on line you can see several men helping each other another person i should say who appears to be wounded here several gunshots then heard in

the background when one of the men picked up the man he was just carrying wounded there are also reports that a british cameraman has reportedly died after being shot by a sniper while filming archies paul the slayer visit to moscow many of the bodies are being brought to and heard firsthand accounts of the clampdown. up to every battle days of reckoning this is where the tally for this week's deadly clashes is taking place here i mean that human must where the bodies of that date and burnt are being false and it was here finally with the fear held me mohammed found her son she learnt on facebook the twenty three year old had been killed she tried in vain to get through sniper fire to reach the doubly a mosque where he'd been camping for weeks. as he died from two bullets one was in his heart there are many claims the protesters had weapons but it was a peaceful sit in the police killed him they were standing on top of the roofs they burned some of the bodies and burned some people alive but it was egypt's most

bloody day of violence since the revolution two and a half years ago this old man managed to save his koran but not his wife she was among the hundreds killed many of them burned beyond recognition tears of anguish against a backdrop of angry demonstrations i think that's why you moshe sisi obey the the people when they go to the street in the jungles here it is i think you said that i listen a little baying the will of the egyptian people word to the street how about this we will watch they in the street for forty seven days then they will rise and their gift is to kill them dr. mohammad mahmoud was on duty when the first casualty started coming in within hours he treated several dozen patients they wounds were worse than anything he'd seen before marking a turning point he says from which there is no return the egyptian army usually defend people but what we know of

a gyptian army even in our religion we have some prophecies said these are the best army and over the world but not to kill his own people is the egyptians always we are our history with the egyptian army to defend us not to kill us because that's why i'm saying this is a very bad and black chapter of the accusations and counter-accusations are heating up each side blames the other for unprovoked excessive violence the army stands accused of firing at an armed protesters while the brotherhood is feared for spreading violence anything is possible now unfortunately in every single step that we've been witnessing from since january twenty five. we don't think the next step is going to happen it's so far away and then it happens so anything is possible now the interior ministry has given police a green light to use live ammunition against anyone who attacks government buildings while the muslim brotherhood is vowing nothing will stop its glorious

revolution in a country many fear is now teaching on the brink of civil war policy r.t. cairo. but we spoke to representatives of the muslim brotherhood after that outbreak of violence and they've insisted that only government security forces are to blame for the deaths but our video agency has obtained footage showing masked gunmen armed with automatic weapons firing back at police in cairo now it's not known if they are affiliated with the muslim brotherhood but it's clear the military assault on pro morsy camps has prompted armed resistance of the top me an award winning journalist and author says egypt is unlikely to veer from its current violent path. i think actually the worst thing that's happening now is not actually to the deaths but it's how objections themselves have changed the amount of people i've heard just yesterday talk about how 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'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 we had in egypt but just a 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 bernie the economy's in freefall the banks of close the stock markets lots of cairo airport emergency a lot of churches a trip burning tires felice 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 getting worse and worse. we're closely following the escalating tensions in egypt on the line for you had to argue dot com for live updates and of taiwan timeline of the unfolding conflict dividing the nation. plus artes you to behave you can find powerful images from cairo revealing the brutal standoff between security forces and protesters. the u.s. is boosting its military assistance to the philippines with fifty million dollars said to be provided in aid along with more navy vessels that's as tension in the region continues to rise over disputed resource rich territories in the south china sea and i would say it's an increasingly assertive china that seems to be the real

reason for washington's growing in gauge ment's in the region the us has been steadily beefing up its military presence in the region japan is among its main ally with fifty thousand american troops deployed there south korea comes in second with some twenty eight thousand u.s. military personnel there's also the american security hub guam which hosts several military bases under the asia orientated policy the us has been strengthening its alliances with australia the philippines singapore and vietnam deploying troops as well as seeking to sign cooperation agreements well america claims that it's just protecting its economic interests in the region but as our g.'s paul scott explains that doesn't seem to be the case. america's increasing interest in the asia pacific is defined by the white house as an attempt to strengthen economic and security interests in a paper released in two thousand and twelve washington makes no attempt to shy away

from the fact that china's dominance in the region is a concern saying its emergence has the potential to negatively affect america's economy and security but go some way to explaining exactly why the u.s. is beefing up its military presence in the region but the exact extent of their muscle flexing is causing some to suggest it's an attempt at containment which will only intensify friction in the region the idea that the united states is protecting the interests of the world against chinese influence is clearly absurd all the united states is doing is ratcheting up military tension and pressure when the world doesn't need it at all disputes over territory are the main reason for heightened tensions the south china sea rich in oil and fish is the main bone of contention washington is backing its ally the philippines in that dispute upping its military support to the nation by two thirds while also strengthening its military ties with indonesia singapore malaysia brunei and vietnam the united

states say there needs to be greater clarity over china's strategic intentions but as washington maintains they want dialogue they continue to expand their military presence on china's doorstep rattling the world's second largest economy a dangerous game of brinksmanship in a region where tensions are already high the philippines hope the united states may help counter china's territorial claims in the south china sea dr thorsten pants burke from beijing university says the u.s. is trying to work with china rather than countering it. the u.s. tries to kind of court saying china at the moment that china has a duty because of its military rise to actually challenge that reigning champion in the u.s. and likewise u.s. of course cannot retreat or retire it has to be very substantial and china's influence is growing even by western meddler standouts china's already the second

largest economy it is sure to surpass us i think there's no doubt that about this it's work to figure out the last so india and the u.s. has to work to gather with china instead of suppressing its rising influence. coming up quarter past the hour here and aren't just around the corner for you to cut. public spending is trained in the u.k. we host an expert panel discussion where britain's captious spent that's coming up . choose your language. calling we can without any financial literacy skills and the

the u.s. is becoming increasingly concerned over virtual currencies launching broad investigations into bitcoin and the likes virtual currency is not going away and needs a whole government response that's according to participants of the inquiry run by a senate committee on homeland security now unbanked and free from centralised regulation bitcoin has been gathering steam and pushing its way into the mainstream its value rocketed in april this year hitting more than two hundred dollars however big point success is marred by worries that can be used to evade taxes and trade drugs and pornography law makers and says digital money should be brought out of the darkness and regulated both in the interest of the public and the virtual currency its industry itself economist mark fortan says the u.s. is just worried about the dollar. their stated objective to investigate these currency these virtual currency is that they may be used for illegal means or they

may be used for tax evasion and money laundering purposes which of course that does occur but that also occurs with u.s. currency which is the major currency for drug dealers and smugglers of all sorts so we have to look a little deeper here at these investigations and what we find is that of course the major credit card companies are concerned about bitcoin is a competitor because it's cheaper and faster than their own services there's no fees involved and so they're concerned and also the federal reserve and the treasury are concerned that in the long run virtual currencies maybe siphon off some of the demand for the u.s. dollar so the government is concerned about it points popularity at many different levels the online currency has one official recognition with a u.s. federal judge ruling it is real money a texas man being tried for laundering billions of dollars using the bitcoin system

motivational magicians so have the government tried one trick too many to convince the british taxpayer that being careful with money or heads work i'm joined by three of them a girl from the taxpayers alliance. from left unity and john hillery from the world want to thank you very much for joining us taxpayers a lot of the areas that should be focused i mean i think those who are just absolutely i mean if you look at councils across the country they're spending local government itself is just wasting kinds of translators money. so if you look at central government itself i mean last year alone one hundred sixty six three million was spent on projects sector employees sending their kids to private schools these are kind of pings that you know people need to look into yeah but they sometimes i mean it's very easy to come up with these things and something tragic twenty billion pounds a year and this is some very very sad when you say about reducing huge amount on what you spent on magicians you know six considerably worse than that it's how it's

going to rain in a cup one consult and it's council time if there is nothing i want to know my money is going towards you know in terms of the different budget itself i don't want my money going towards consultants and the like from being wasted in that way and on pricey trips i want to know that my money is going to the poorest and we're expected to go on and i think that's the problem taxpayers want to know we're getting the best value for our money and i think the government needs to show that and look into this quite you know it's important critically critical political thing here is what you spend it on and one of the rich i think we both agree on this in terms of time the poor. strong tax revenue for public services for functioning social model think about that subsidy right i agree that if we if we close the tax gap then this deals with a lot of issues in terms of austerity and also actually closing the tax gap in the developing world is vital to move away from their dependence on aid you look at the

bumper book of government waste we found that one hundred twenty billion pounds last year alone was wasted on things like massive ticket searches i mean we looked at public sector fraud cost twenty billion last year all of this money against a four and a half pounds per family in the u.k. at a time when families are having a hard time tightening their budgets tighten their belts this is a massive amount of money because we're going to have to leave it there thank you very much for doing this. now to some other news making headlines around the world the brutal military crackdown in egypt continues to stoke international anger this time in libya where crowds gathered in front of the country's embassy in tripoli and egypt's army chief a killer of innocents they demand to be brought to justice for the victims of the end to morsi crackdown at the same time libya itself is struggling with controversal militias who gained substantial policing power at the ousting and execution of colonel gadhafi. while deadly weather fronts

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 peace. this looks like some sort of world war two game i mean and this type of game there's going to be a murdering of virtual rampaging through cities with rocket launchers so why did they start a petition to blogger called the bad comedian made a detailed 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 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. good afternoon and welcome to prime interests i'm parry and boring. and let's get to today's headline do it. up or knave patting himself on the back right now at least with respect to consumer price inflation which came and at precisely the two per cent target but for those of us who don't eat food or drive
