far east after these heavy rains bring the worst devastation in more than a century we'll bring you up to speed on that one too this. is going to be watching the weekly from r t it's a roundup of the top stories of the last seven days and first egypt seeing is deadliest violence since the twenty eleven revolution with more than eight hundred people killed across the country over the past seven days supporters of the ousted president mohamed morsi in the authorities blame each other for provoking the carnage the situation escalated after security forces broke up anti-government sit ins an islamist rioters retaliated by setting fire to official buildings and attacking christian churches bell trues been assessing the mayhem in cairo at first hand. well the tensions are palpable here in the capital cairo as today marks

the start of what the morsy supporters have called departure the coup week which is a week long series of protests and rallies in the capital and across the country particularly yesterday we had this twenty four hour standoff between morsy supporters and security forces which resulted in a very bloody gun battle yesterday afternoon as hundreds of protesters had basically been trapped in a central cairo mosque. with the injured which had been turned into a field hospital on friday afternoon so this finished saturday afternoon but with security forces essentially storming this building and the protest is that most of them being arrested now since wednesday when security forces violently cleared that two encampments in cairo they have used a lot of force against any protest all rally including on friday we saw live ammunition being fired at protesters who attempted to set up another sit in on

wednesday morning i got a panicked phone call from a protester rushed to bits about the ways in which is now no longer an encampment at that point i saw the security forces opening fire with live ammunition an automatic weapon and anyone who was approaching the encampment meanwhile after four hours of gunfire i managed to get inside where i saw protesters women and children from the corner behind sandbanks there were the injured you've been shot in the head the chest the stomach being taken to field hospitals and then the next day of course they had their makeshift morgues in a mosque two hundred bodies just laid out there with extremely bloody some in people missing their heads some people beyond recognition the security forces say that their officers have been killed meanwhile we've had some major deaths from the missing brotherhood's leadership the supreme guide to the eyes which could lead to lost his son my colleague paula has also been on the ground here in cairo she brings you this report the tears are the same as is the heartache. tragedy to

families for is a changed by the violence engulfing egypt. cats to some said he died from two bullets one was in his heart the police killed him they were standing on top of the roofs they burned some of the bodies and they burned some people alive. the muslim brotherhood believes that the christians in egypt have a hand in what is going on this doctor to beat me with stones one of them hit me with an axe in my head they put the church and fire and threw molotov cocktails at it sophia sun up till belong to the muslim brotherhood he was just twenty three when he was killed by police on wednesday iman is a christian he was protecting them on a street when he says muslim brotherhood leaders stormed it bashing him on the head with heavy sticks they were on opposite sides of the political divide but both families were forever carry the scars of this week's deadly violence. violence started on wednesday when police moved in to break up protest camps set up by

supporters of ousted president mohamed morsy hundreds were killed. dozens more died two days later when security forces laid siege to a mosque where protesters had taken refuge by sunday morning they'd cleared it out but the confusion remains the government has announced plans to outlaw the brotherhood it's arrested and detained hundreds of its leaders and supporters among them romney's brother has some whom he hasn't heard from for days counting worry i called them yesterday was the last call between. between me and him and he was in the house both national security was full and he told me that he's alone and he's worried that the policy which they can. plan to do to do this plan to kill this this people. but the same charge is leveled at the brotherhood critics say that they as much as the police planned to kill this is one of the churches that was

destroyed. this week more than fifty churches were burned and looted and round the country what was valuable was taken what remains fear and uncertainty for egypt's future bashir may have shows me around what remains of his church he's placing his faith firmly in the police. but i feel that the arrested in pursuing brotherhood leaders and starting an investigation and prosecution is a good sign for the muslim brotherhood is starting to have major losses announced in the state of emergency a lot of the police to have a chance to. but a chance at wash many are asking as each hour brings with it more violence and uncertainty to the country seemingly on the part to civil war policy r.t. five city egypt. as you know what she has been getting opinions and insight from those involved in the political standoff howry from egypt constitution party believes that even though the muslim brotherhoods borne the brunt of the casualties the movement is solely to blame we had protesters that were in

a sit in in rubble 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 is no political justification that can be put to 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 this city then rubble continually. spread out marches through the neighborhoods and to the surrounding neighborhoods where a lot of militants were shooting at rampage at any crowd or any civilians in the streets that were anti morsy what anti the muslim brotherhood i've been shut out for about i've been caught in a crossfire between the muslim brotherhood they were shooting at civilians for three hours during the past month. the cares to go for good ship forcing its western allies to rethink their relations with the country being you which is a major source of aid to egypt as said the killings over the last few days cannot

be justified and it's the government's responsibility to end the violence it comes after similar strongly worded statements from the us to which was canceled joint military exercises with egypt but aside from those drills in america's aid to the egyptian military looks set to continue as planned this is what it looks like in fact is worth one point three billion dollars a year includes fighter jets apache helicopters and surface to air missiles as well as high tech surveillance hardware so while condemning the ongoing violence in egypt the white house has refused to call the sting of president morsi all the way along here a coup that carefully avoided that word so that it would require of course to freeze military support a spokeswoman from the british egyptians for democracy group spoke to us and we could says washington's position therefore runs counter to its pro-democracy rhetoric. well it's actually quite shameful to see countries and leaders of western governments who hail themselves as speakers of democracy supporting the slaughter of democracy and its supporters in egypt what obama came out and said simply not

enough this is what the obama's one point five million of subsidies to the army buys the slaughter of innocent men women and children the army may have pulled the trigger yes but it was the west that loaded the gun and the west must take an active stance against this it's not too late to side with democracy in egypt they must come out they must reject what is happening in egypt these cosmetic diplomatic maneuvers of free calling ambassadors and the tepid statements again they are not enough we are talking about people dying and revolution this is a revolution and they must side the west the world must come together and side with those who have been oppressed in egypt. coaching people across the latest developments in egypt only time out r.t. dot com our web site there we got firsthand accounts of the dramatic events as well as video and images right from the heart of the unrest your chance to take part in the big stories as well of the day this is certainly

a big story we're asking what you think about what's happening here in egypt at the moment and what about this ongoing curfew it's a vote this afternoon thanks for voting if you have this is what you're telling us sixty three percent of you the majority of fear it's a precursor to egypt sliding further into conflict as you can see fifteen percent say it's an essential measure to restore democracy run about the same number of a figure return to the mubarak era is on the cards the smallest still it's been for a few hours believe the crowd at the shows the army's inability to deal with the protests if you think differently you believe that should be different tell us r.t. dot com is the place to cast your vote always good to hear from you. people of saudi arabia who oppose the regime of barely getting a chance to make their voices heard some are jailed simply for posting a message on twitter while the total number of political prisoners in the gulf

kingdom is now believed to be more than thirty thousand the intensifying corrected on descend seaven calls of all family members to defect artie's arabic sister channel spoke exclusively to the saudi prince who accuses the monarchy of silencing all voices of discord. the government is obviously scared of the arab revolutions and they responded as they usually do by resorting to oppression violence arbitrary law and arrest but the easiest thing they can do is deprive you of your salary or fire you altogether so the ruling regime is not guided by justice and this is especially true of the ministry of interior there is no independent judiciary that has both police and the prosecutor's office are countable to the interior ministry the ministries officials investigate crimes they call them crimes related to freedom of speech so they fabricate evidence but don't allow people to have attorneys things like that happen all over the place they even put people

under arrest for an indefinite amount of time even if a court rules to release such a criminal or the ministry of interior keeps him in prison even though there is a court order to release him and there have even been killings killings and as for the external opposition saudi intelligence forces buying these people abroad there is no safety inside or outside the country could you describe these people who oppose the royal family and what are their goals like opposition used to demand wider peoples representation in governing bodies more rights and freedom but the authorities reacted with violence and persecution instead of a dialogue and now the opposition wants this regime gone but we both know that despite the numerous human rights violations and saudi arabia your country seldom faces straight decision from the west and from the united states in particular when senior u.s. officials meet with their saudi counterparts basically can't be any critical

comments from washington visibly riyadh what the white house certainly does maintain a longstanding alliance with the leaders of saudi arabia that cemented by common interests in the middle east to that end there are classified contacts between area in. the u.s. administration in recent time they've been employed to step up the government administered reforms but those reforms are not driven by the elites desire to empower the people of that that instead they are merely urged by reforms that the regime might fall unless it reforms itself pression is widespread in saudi arabia there is no free speech no freedom of expression corruption is rampant in or areas from the level bureaucrats to hiring officials every civil servant is very skillful in using bribes in their operations. well the first term is probably asking from the times explain to us what's behind the saudi authorities way of dealing with those demanding reform basically it's carrot and stick carrots in the form of

a sixty billion dollar handout program by the dollar at the beginning of the arab spring in two thousand and one style those were horrified by the beginning of the arab spring in neighboring bahrain soul they bribed their own subjects number one number two this is against the shiite minority of roughly ten percent of saudi arabia who lives in the eastern province that's where most of the oil is by the way so it's a normal sleepwalker see this to the americans and they tell the world that they are intervening in syria for a more democratic syria and inside saudi arabia it's the sunni shiite divide and they go against ten percent of their own population britain as one center of a new surveillance scandal this time there were over street side rubbish receptacles high tech trash cans were installed in london capable apparently of a deadly find passes by through their cell phones extensively they say to target advertisement artie's probably takes a look at these devious dust. just

a ben think again these nifty looking lesser bins are connected so why five and that means that they can track the movements of each and every person walking down this street as long as they've got a smartphone that's connected to why fine now the digital stalking is all in the name of advertising simply by knowing who you are and where you're going they can alter the images on the screen here to tailor the advertisement to whoever is walking down the street in the city of london corporation have said that they also use the sun by despite technology that they've asked the company responsible for the bins to switch them off the local authority here say that schemes like this require the backing of an informed public but just how aware are all the british public of the erosion of best so-called digital privacy in the wake of the n.s.a. scandal it's been revealed that it's not just commercial companies but entire governments that are spying on their citizens and just last week we found out that

just telecom on the boat the phones have been secretly processing on details of their customers conversations over to intelligence agency g c h q coming into my privacy. my knowledge it would be a cause of concern is a breach of law is a breach of confidentiality i just would have nothing to hide so i don't really care but still i don't think that. that's fair from them not telling us that to me because information to you governments who are true in your twenty's citizens private information should stay private i've got nothing to hide so it doesn't matter let's have identity get along all that stuff is very much to the other side is there anything in the final things i shouldn't do. this really must surveillance is now a reality of our everyday lives c.c.h. cuchulainn day to hoover and according to experts they screw up as much information as possible online and through telephone traffic in order to school through it so if there is that there'd be paying him much more. came from

humanitarian aid including food and life jackets and eleven thousand military personnel are also aiding local services now the biggest industry in this region is the farming industry people great things like tomatoes and potatoes and sell them locally they also produce oil which is sold and made by china but with four hundred thousand hectares currently under water it's clear to see that it's not just people's homes that are being damaged but also potentially their livelihoods. still in one of the worst hit areas we will continue to bring you the very latest of course as it develops over the coming hours days and weeks no let me bring up to date on some world news in brief happening right now as well the heavy seas in the philippines are still holding but rescuers from returning to that sunken ferry we're told where this yesterday one hundred seventy people are still missing tonight efforts were suspended late on saturday after a six hundred people of the eight hundred or so on board were rescued thirty one

additional push from those who believe america's already scattered billions wealth he's going to teach you can scott the story. behind these walls is one of the most secretive organizations in the world the us federal reserve website 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 weathered different waves of economic crises not 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 even 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 this gold with 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 goals. now we see many

countries trying to when you were away from the dollar i mean. with the many banks increasing their own gold reserves anything after all these years the world decided they put too much power in this one building. over on a website called life insurance the wiki leaks seems the world's leading whistleblower platforms now released over four hundred gigabytes of highly sensitive data encrypted for promising to release the key to what if anything should ever happen to websites key figures interesting read we've got the details and pressure cooker is being used in france not only for making hot meals you don't see so many of these days but also for storing plutonium or if you practice is the going on for decades you want to read more bizarre story again it's.

like. the world championships are drawn to a close in moscow with dozens of nations having taken part russia tops the medals table followed by the u.s. and kenya there was much to be celebrated sports wise despite those protests of course as well over russia's law against the promotion of homosexuality to young people. was at luzhniki stadium. it has indeed been a smooth ride through the track and field championships both for sportsmen and for spectators alike we've had nearly two thousand athletes hailing from two hundred six countries around the world converging on the very center of the russian capital and it has been quite a sight to see these people who dedicate so much of their lives to preparing for these sports to see this level of athleticism is just amazing for this is really been a testament to the fact that russia has the chops to host an event of this size we've

got some winter olympics coming up in just a couple of months and then of course world cup after that one thing that has been really great in these competitions this week is that the weather has held up as the first track and field championships that has been held in open air and the sun has been shining with blue skies very little rain all week long which has been wonderful now it despite the initial social call cast over these games by the disagreement over the laws that was passed by the russian government just a little while ago that bans propaganda aimed at minors that promotes a nontraditional sexual lifestyle. that has really been pushed to the side by a lot of these athletes many of the athletes have come forward and said we want this to be about the games about sportsmanship and we want this to be about the sport and that has really held true very successful on their part not to allow this

to be made into a sort of political agenda. and he fronts reporting i'm kevin and thanks for being with us this hour of you watching around the world more news in our round up of it was on to the last week in about thirty five minutes time between now and then we report on the life of a couple of dedicated themselves to saving children abandoned by society a great story coming up to stay with us. 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 to 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's going to be a murdering of all 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 words history like some very limited battles are soviet soldiers went in unarmed and made it look as if sitting right fellas 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 lives 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.

well suppose you knew someone. you would you tell to bring everyone together here everyone's here. see everyone fifteen people really pleasant right i was wondering what fishing with you my eyes deceive me on yes the world. when it comes out fishing he can do without for now i suppose that i ask him to call everyone together and nobody will hear why you're late what's the problem he was not listening you always mess everything up with you is what you.
