broadcasting live from moscow twenty four hours a day you're watching our carry just fine and overnight see an intense gun fight security forces stormed a mosque in central cairo where hundreds of business protesters were holed up the house of worship became a focal point for mercy loyalists after it was made into a makeshift hospital and moved the time of the government crackdown a correspondent bell true who's in the egyptian capital witnessed the raid. it's extremely tense and bloody standoff between morsi supporters and security forces and he did so finally after twenty four hours watching happen today i was there by this central cairo mosque a few kilometers away away from where i'm standing and there were about seven hundred to a thousand protesters holed up in a room barricaded in against the security forces that encircled this mosque following protests on friday that turned into clashes when morsy supporters and

members of big police force basically had a massive clash so what happened today was that these people were stuck in that they haven't had access to water or food for twenty four hours there were injured people in there they needed medical attention the security forces were firing tear gas and i mean into the building and about two pm three pm this afternoon a shooting from one of the minaret started firing on the security forces which then rocketed info in other bouts of clashes it was absolutely chaotic there was take us there were gunfire some foreign journalists themselves. very muddled up in the whole fray it was a complete mess basically meanwhile these protesters were stuck in this back room calling their relatives and also media attention they said they needed help especially the ones who were injured there had been a makeshift morgue at this particular mosque during the day on friday the bodies had been removed at the end just hadn't right now the latest be how the security

forces have taken them out of the mosque and arrested them so we have to wait to see how that story develops and the prime minister also released a statement said today saying that the muslim brotherhood should perhaps be dissolved and he also you mentioned that there have been a number of churches burned by is this is a misquote is of mohamed morsi as well as police stations attacked meanwhile in the brotherhood side we've had the fatality of the supremes mahomedan by the who is that kind of theological leader his son was killed so we're going to see a lot of anger from the muslim brotherhood side as well because a very divided egypt today with two science refusing to back down a lot of violence with the rising death toll this story isn't going to end anytime soon. we're continuing cycle of violence in egypt has led to growing fears about the possibility of civil war in the country both the muslim brotherhood and the army are blaming each other for the bloodshed but earlier my colleague marina joshing talked to supporters from opposite ends of egypt's political spectrum. we had protesters that were in a sit in and that was accused of criminal acts and accused of harboring

a fugitive and whoring militants and using kids and children as human shields and there's no political justification that can be put to put that there is a political demand that you put children as human shields and you use militants and you put children beside militants as human shields but there's a lot of stash where i live show and he was sorry for interrupting you but those protests were they were not as well they were sitting in there and just protesting against what they saw i apologize i apologize they were not they were not peaceful they were not peaceful i'll talk we also have the food and shelter task seemingly surrendering with with his hands out and what happens next is it's being shot at an investigation should be carried but you cannot there is no political cover there is no political reasoning to have a militant march in the streets of cairo whenever you see police or army marching through the streets of cairo you will not see you not see people terrified you're not seeing people scared away but if you see

a militant group like the muslim brotherhood marching through you know you'll find a lot of people screaming away and running away because we know that these are our men these are militants they are shooting at anybody that this agree with their political reflective there is no political cover for such acts there is no political cover to burn down churches when you have been attacked by the police if you're protesting in the police if you're interesting or we have you know when we are you should actually and then it's you should mean you are not go down and burn down churches it's not you know it's a terrible people it's actually not a little bit unfair i'll just try there are no two sides there only the egyptian nation egyptian people that has said there was no to conflict inside of what should all these people do then the thousands or hundreds of thousands of people on the street we can't see anyone with any with these women children. old horse. egypt it's not a fight. it's an attack of the system against innocent

peaceful demonstrations this is not a violence in the street these are not clashes these are people committing massacres against innocent people after all these thousands of killings and massacres we have seen. members of the military force unfortunately killing with with with the sort of gun that's only used in the battlefield against warriors against children and women and i'm sure many people have seen the images of those who have been killed with these sorts of illegal weapons i think at that stage the military coup has failed and it's gone far beyond any sort of free consideration. i had to r.t. dot com from egypt timeline and much more of what's happening in the country they'll find it firsthand accounts of the dramatic events plus videos and images of

. the flood stretch from east to west the distance of two thousand kilometers and from north to south a distance of five hundred kilometers now there was a real concern that the situation could get worse with more rain onto supply did over the next twenty four forty eight hours or so the flood levels are expected to peak in the middle of next week and in particular there are two. people a seriously concerned at least the hydroelectric power stations where water levels at the moment a critical level now is a real thing which you can see behind me could bust its banks one small you can power even an attempt to try and counter that's authorities are allowing water to flow through the dams an increased rate of twenty percent to try to relieve some of the pressure on the lower the floodwaters there around three thousand military personnel in the region as well there are hospitals and kitchens as well providing simple food such as bread to help those people who have been displaced doing it's

great to limit the damage being caused but the real concern with. more is expected in the coming days with the flood levels could rise the situation could be about to get worse. the seat and we'll continue to bring you the very latest as we get it. had it in the program we look at the basis of this into germany's political see. what the six month old alternative for germany party has in store as it attempts to challenge the major parties the upcoming general election. the implications of over a thousand bottles of h two o. that are consumed every minute in the us we tap into some industry facts which might seem hard to swallow a softer break. wealthy

about the program now u.s. lawmakers are calling for reform and more transparency at the national security agency this off it was revealed that congress which is supposed to provide

oversight was in many cases kept in the dark about n.s.a. activities and the intent in order it's also revealed thousands of incidents of unauthorized surveillance by the agency phinehas in a say has apparently been vomiting both its own rules as well as court orders issues become more the most pressing in a night of president obama's insistence that in the month that surveillance regulations were not being appeased. but you're not reading about is the government actually abusing these programs and. you're listening in on people's phone calls or inappropriately reading people's e-mails what your hearing about is the prospect that these could be abused now part of the reason they're not abuse is because there are at least checks are in place and those abuses would be against the law those checks are not working the way they're supposed to according to any support of it and any privacy information center she says the n.s.a.

is activities like accountability. the basic answer is there is no effective oversight to face a court there's a one party system they only hear one side of the argument congress is not effective oversight they aren't briefed on what's going on if they were they said that they could have had access to this report that they didn't know existed if they went to a specific secure room and didn't bring any staff and didn't bring in the attorneys and didn't bring anything to take notes on and then they could look at the document that they didn't know was there this this is no way oversight courts are supposed to be a two party process is supposed to be adversarial and you have one person going in and presenting an argument there's nobody on the other side now having somebody on the other side isn't going to fix that and less there's an extra piece put into place to make it a meaningful adversary you have public reporting you have some sort of accountability so that person isn't just another green light to let these programs move forward and they can continue to throw up the oversight flag. a lot on the on

now one of germany's biggest political forces the social democratic party is celebrating its one hundred fiftieth anniversary and then this weekend that the main challenges to the ruling christian democrats at next month's general election voters of recently been presented with fresh options one of the newest being the alternative for germany party held a rally at the suspect with a test addition to the country's a political scene is offering what for many it was like a fresh approach to other leading parties appear to be singing from the same hymn sheet and chancellor merkel's ruling party wants stronger ties between their pro european stance is shared by the rival social democrats. but terje for germany sees things differently suggesting that southern states should just leave the usa but on the economy the main rival parties largely agree with the calander social democrats saying it's too early to end austerity but in terms of germany thinks the cuts

should end now well further the co-founder of the european students for liberty movement says german voters have been disappointed by the coalition for some time that. the current parties in parliament and especially those in government do not meet the voters demand of solving the euro crisis by a more decentralized monetary policy in europe the coalition when they started collision about four years ago they were talking about reducing the size of government and cutting taxes more economic freedoms and if you look at the size of public spending is still around between forty five and fifty percent so not much has changed and the leftist opposition in parliament is actually threatening the voters with even more government more regulation higher taxes and more adept and that's not what people want rising house prices and falling salaries in the u.k. that's what our economy was. discussing today and you can catch reported little

over forty five minutes time here in r.t. but here's a quick preview. u.k. we just fall among sharpest in e.u. figures show real wage value is falling five point five percent since two thousand and ten more than in euro zone crisis countries such as spain cyprus wages used to provide the capital that feel the capitalist economy but the capital so-called that's fueling the speculation is borrowed money you don't need the wage earners anymore you don't need people working because you don't need their taxes it's a prayer for us in this economy you don't need that money because you can borrow from the bank of england for zero percent you don't need workers just like saudi arabia they don't need the people because they just sell the oil so there is all of archy there's a royalty there's five thousand princes then everyone else lives in abject poverty same thing in the u.k. you've got the bank of england which is a gusher of free money we don't need anyone else we don't need their wages we don't need their taxes so they can all just die and that's the message from cameron wake

up and die you sorry ass mo fo that's david cameron matters to you the united kingdom good luck with that. and some other world news in brief for you now that. more than twenty people have been killed in a string of brutal assault on a storm ten workers were shot dead as taliban militants to the sort rifles of type to vote construction crew just followed by a roadside blast in a suicide bombing at a private clinic in the knives balances increasing across afghanistan and sometimes scramble to gang territory nato pulled out in. the midst of a little known scottish defense in the march through edinburgh to demonstrate against islam is the u.k. over anti fascist left wing groups they used to rival dr evil most three times as

members to eighteen hours to count eight bags for the coins the money which is equal to fifteen hundred dollars as part of a contribution paid by shop owner who was fined for a fight with his customers the man they deemed the fine unfair and decided to pay part of it coins as a protest. now as drinks go bottled water takes some beating is being seen as a purist of the pure summing up images of mountain grasses and fresh springs but there's more to the multi-billion dollar industry than meets the eye especially where the environment is concerned i see it can expect. going a day without water is hard to imagine. but so was paying a lot more money for the same think that comes out of a task so. americans are the number one consumers of bottled water in the world but

why are people paying so much more than they have to cook the bottled water industry simply be tricking us pottle to our is a huge scam you know when you buy bottled water you're paying hundreds if not thousands of times the cost that you would be paying to simply access have already flown is almost half of bottled water is in fact just tap water. tap water that's just filtered by corporations instead of the consumer to home ads with the alluring glaciers on bottles and gorgeous celebrities make bottled water seem so much better people are like children you know you show and also the they probably design it so people like to hold it they sure like their beautiful people or rivers coming down long term it's all about health so yeah it is a weird total fools but you think experts say it's a common misconception that bottled water is more pure in cif than tap pure marketing companies are making billions of dollars in selling this product that's

more expensive than gasoline at this point to people and so they definitely benefit from people thinking that tap water is not as safe as a why or. why because they simply can get away with it. think outside the bottle campaign is one of an increasing number of groups challenging the corporations for the past three decades the bottled water industry namely coke pepsi and a slave have attempted to convince us that the only place to get clean and safe water is out of a bottle we all know is not the profit water industry is new we aggressively push it. grab a pole and put public water in that every human right into private hands or in countries where pollution is high people have no choice but for americans there certainly is expert see consumers just need to be more informed topwater is

actually more regulated by the environmental protection agency then bottled water is by the free drug administration well recycling is supposed to make consumers feel better in reality plastic accumulation is at a peak seventy five percent of bottles and up in our landfills oceans rivers lakes you now see them you know littering the landscape and they get only twenty five percent of them and every cycle and i think most people think that that rate is much higher in times when energy and water resources are growing scarce the pacific and found that the equivalent of thirty two and fifty four million million barrels of oil are used in a year by the bottled water industry and this is the equivalent it would fuel between one and two million cars a year this will keep up unless perceptions change. and we have a population growing so we're going to buy more and more bottle of water and more and more brand coming in every day pure pure of the water with it it's not just bottled water low it's like water with water with energy activists it's time to

break the myth for consumers to change habits before water is a human right is lost is it that we want to be providing our water. that our. water profit or is it that we want our own democratically governed. to be a good ones that are providing us water if we take into account the huge price markups for a product that's available in most polls as well as the health environmental and regulation concerns it might be a good time to stop and think does one really need this considering life on earth existed without plastic bottles just a few decades ago or is the trend just too resistible to stop the flow and. new york. i often break reports on a man who shelters children have been abandoned by both parents and some of the.
