far east after heavy rains bring the worst devastation and more than a century. good evening i'm carol lin you're watching the weekly our roundup of the top stories of the last seven days here on r.t. from moscow and first egypt is the top story again tonight seeing its deadliest violence since the twenty eleven revolution with more than eight hundred people killed across the country over the past week supporters of the ousted president mohamed morsi and the authorities on the other side blame each other for provoking the carnage the situation escalated this week after security forces broke up anti-government citizens and is the most rioters retaliated by setting fire to official buildings and attacking christian churches artie's bell trues been

witnessing the mayhem in cairo it firsthand. 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 that we could 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 would be turned into a field hospital on friday afternoon so this finished saturday afternoon but with security forces essentially storming this building and the protesters there most of them being arrested now since wednesday when the security forces violently cleared that two encampments in cairo they have used a lot of force against any more protests already 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 the to rub out the way it in which is now no longer an encampment at that point i saw 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 huddled in a corner behind sandbanks they 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 with extremely bloody someone people missing their heads some people too beyond recognition the security forces say that their officers have been killed meanwhile we've had some major deaths from the mizzen 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 and. tragedy to

families for is a changed by the violence engulfing egypt. cats 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 taught it to beat me with stones one of them hit me with an axe in my head they put the church on 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 a ministry when he says muslim brotherhood leaders stormed it bashing him on the head with heavy sticks they're on opposite sides of the political divide but both families will forever carry the scars of this week's deadly violence. divined and

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 its arrested and detained hundreds of its leaders and supporters among them romney's brother has some whom he hasn't heard from for days now being worried i called him yesterday was the last call between. getting on him and he was in the house the national security hospital 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 these 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 burnt and loose hit around 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 and there's a battle i feel that the rest in pursuing brotherhood leaders and starting an investigation and prosecution is a good sign in the street the muslim brotherhood is starting to have major losses announcing the state of emergency a lot of the police do have a chance. but a chance at what many are asking as each hour brings with it more violence and uncertainty to a country seemingly on the path to civil war policy r.t. five city egypt. well despite several protests being canceled in cairo the violence is continuing unabated reports are just coming from local media say that thirty eight was the brotherhood supporters of died during an attempt to break them free

while the being transported to a prison to get more insight now go live to egypt we're joined there by dr derek is a senior member of the muslim brotherhood's freedom and justice party dr thanks for being with us i'm sure you just heard the figure i just spoke of now. on top of that today the muslim brotherhood. fortunate just as are about to go to the news that we've lost the line to dr derrick rose sorry we are to have lost it we'll try and get back to him a little bit later i can promise you because a lot of relevant stuff that i want to put to him we'll try about some of this a little bit later let's for now look at the timeline of what's been happening in egypt sure we looks like this scene came across evidence of course r.t. dot com any time from us we've got firsthand accounts of the dramatic events as well as video and images right from the heart of the armrest we're also asking for your view as well really important all the big stories we want to know what you think this is such a big story what you think about the state of emergency in egypt right now and

what's going on there this is what you're telling us thanks if you have a. to the release of the majority of your sixty three percent fear it's a precursor to egypt sliding further into conflict and you can see the fifteen percent see it's an essential measure to restore democracy by the same number of years little less think it's a return to them the mubarak era on the cards here the smaller share again this i believe the crackdown shows the army's inability to deal with protests r.t. dot com is the place to get that we can't go back to our guest just yet we're still trying to make a connection with you so it does appear right in front of us we'll try to get bouts of in a few minutes of you can stay with us. and focus in there for a moment on saudi arabia people there who oppose the regime of barely getting a chance to have their voices heard some were jailed simply for posting a message on twitter while the total number of political prisoners in the gulf

kingdom is believed to be more than thirty thousand the intensifying cracked under a sense even cause the royal family member to defect artie's arabic 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 guarded 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 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 by means 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 opposition used to demand wider people's 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 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 because i mean riyadh what the white house certainly does maintain a longstanding alliance with the leaders of saudi arabia cemented by common interests in the middle east to that end there are classified contacts between area the. 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 the kingdom that instead they are merely urged by reforms that the regime might fall unless it reforms itself oppression is widespread in saudi arabia there is no free speech no freedom of expression corruption is rampant in all areas from the level bureaucrats to hiring officials every civil servant is very skillful in using bribes in their operations to be. tossed top sort of repeated so we do have a direct a senior member of the muslim brotherhood's freedom justice party back on the line so nice to see you i don't recall the last question to a put it to you again the muslim brotherhood called off rallies today in cairo is

that a one off because of the security situation or are you scaling back in protests now actually this is what happened. coalition for democracy did not call all of the stations it was just some sort of redistribution. in order to avoid clashes with the police. are you really in control of the people who support the muslim brotherhood. well let me clarify something which is very important in my opinion what we are seeing a sport this is not just the most weather what we're seeing is. a coalition composed of several banks of the egyptian expertise some independent egyptians were not organized and any kind of organizations or protesting and marching to the game that we see back it is not as it is being tried to perpetrate to be portrayed as it is the muslim brotherhood versus the military or versus other forces it is not of

what the muslim brotherhood it is about who is fighting who the city who is fighting who simply the people who are interested in regaining their democracy people who are not happy about losing the. minute. form the genuine pollution these are the people who are fighting an emerging every day for the last two months fighting against who they are not fighting just marching peacefully expressing themselves there is no fun so who is attacking them what are we saying on the streets this is kind of a mental picture what i want trying to get at you know i hear what you saying so who is clashing with who are the people clashing with the people you are talking about i will if you if you if you followed the report by ben true by its correspondent in the beginning she clearly said that there were peaceful demonstrators attacked by the security forces and the military police so it's not a fight this is the army as well as. yes. that are fact they were yesterday.

friday actually there were helicopters. flying on top of the demonstrators and shooting everything was so it is i was there not so much so of course the army says something completely different ok i do want to ask you though of course over the last couple of weeks the last couple of days indeed so many christians. searches have been attacked it's certainly not done if you like the p.r. cause for the muslim brotherhood any good as it what is your thought on. well actually it's not just a thought this evidence actually is this these allegations have been proposed by the current who regime. oppression that's being done against the protesters for the most normal nor responsible. definitely know they have as about effect that most of the other with all will be protecting churches and let me just refer you to the statement issued by the priest taking care of the largest church

in media he said very clearly that there were orchestrated by thugs. with the security forces the priest has been calling for the security forces to protect the churches from. that they didn't listen there is no single evidence that that was the brotherhood or any actually other movement civilians were involved in taking churches or book public buildings or whatever. just because this week from from the interim government whatever you want to call them will call me interim government for now on the side they've been caused to the muslim brotherhood how would that work how would you react briefly of cancer. well actually the muslim brotherhood has been there for more than eighty years. during the kingdom during very public at different ages and different governments attempts were made to ban the brotherhood but it's still there it is the largest organization in egypt it has

always been peaceful has supporters everywhere because it all was built peaceful means and measures to to be close to the egyptian people that's where it has almost been bare become of band and i'm going to say shit like that from the hearts of the people they can benefit legally if they are legal i mean this so-called interim government doesn't even have an authority to ban anybody so let them say what they want to say very clever got to catch up with dr ahmed senior member of the muslim brotherhoods of freedom and justice party live from cairo thank you thank you. so i had to fear this and wants washington to put the money where its mouth is the u.s. is sitting apparently on piles of german gold but it's big more than little obstructive and letting the access to its people and we talk about that after this break.

we speak your language. news programs and documentaries in spanish matters to you breaking news a little tonnage of angles stories. for you here.

in the spanish to find out more visit. britain is once again at the center of a new surveillance scandal this time though over street side the rubbish or receptacles these high tech trash cans of it installed in london capable of identifying passers by through this cellphone just ends up in the states a target advertisement. takes a look at these devious desperate. 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 the 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 messages and just last week we found out that it just had a bomb on vodafone have been secretly costing on details of their customers conversations over to intelligence agency g c h q coming into my privacy. my knowledge it would be a concern is a breach of law is a breach of confidentiality i just wouldn't 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 we present information to 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. all that stuff is very much the other side is there anything in the final things they shouldn't do. to be honest with you must surveillance is now a reality of our everyday lives c.c.h. cuchulainn say so hoovering according to experts they screw up as much information as possible online and through telephone traffic in order to school through it so there's that to marry these things to a much more. to me and many of you said even from back alley boy i feel like. over the web sites life insurance for wiki leaks the world's leading whistleblower platforms released over four hundred gigabytes of highly sensitive data encrypted form why well they're promising to release the key if anything happens to the web site key figures r.t. dot com you can read more about that if you like. pressure cookers don't see those

very often being used in france not only for making hot meals but also for storing plutonium a practice has been going on for decades apparently when we have more about that rather bizarre twist to it patty dot com is the place to be as well. big stories but developing here in the week sadly catastrophic flooding in russia's far east has put more than one hundred thousand people at the risk of losing their homes as all area here in the worst such disaster more than a century nearly twenty thousand people have already been evacuated to safety but that number is expected to rise with heavy rains likely to last until september those floods hit more than one hundred twenty villages with locals being moved to

shelters for food and medical care much of the surrounding countryside is submerged with the damage currently estimated at around sixty million dollars artie's paul scott reports next from the scene of the day. with the water levels in some parts of the region having risen seventy two centimeters on saturday alone the evacuations are continuing the worst case estimates suggest that one hundred thousand people may be forced to leave their home however it is hoped that that final number will be substantially lower. the worst hit areas of the remote rural villages such as this one damage to infrastructure such as communication and transport networks in places like this operative the isolated but help is that hands on saturday moscow provided fifty tons of humanitarian aid including food boats 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

grow things like tomatoes and potatoes and sell them locally they also produce oil which is sold in nearby 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 you know really bad news there a lot of the worst hit areas will continue to bring you the very latest of course as it develops it's twenty three minutes past eleven at night now moscow time let me take you through some top world news stories making headlines heavy seas in the philippines people but this yesterday's is still ongoing still holding rescuers and returning to that sunken ferry where they think they were a one hundred seventy people still our efforts were suspended later on saturday after six hundred of the eight hundred or so on board were rescued thirty one are known to have died when the vessel collided with a cargo ship on friday. thousands of syrian kurds are fleeing to iraq according to the un refugee agency kurdish areas in war torn syria right now an ongoing raids by

al-qaeda linked militants with reports suggesting thousands of lost their lives jihadists are thought to be trying to establish an islamic state in the north which is known for its vast natural resources. members and supporters of germany's far right national democratic party of rallied outside a mosque in leipzig chanting maria not sure rear protesters are urged the government to stop what they call the foreign infiltration of german society counted demonstrations saw more than one hundred fifty leftist activists staging massive protests. in. germany set to spend nearly a decade collecting hundreds of tons of it gold which is kept in u.s. vaults the bullion withdrawal comes at a time of growing pressure from seized up euro zone economies an additional push from those who believe america's already scattered berlin's wealth is going to change accounts got the story. behind these walls is one of the most secretive

organizations in the world u.s. federal reserve ever try 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 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 the reason being there has been speculation for a long time that the fed doesn't actually have much gold that he 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. in creating their own gold reserves anything after all these years the world decided they put too

much power in this one building. a correspondent in washington that well from gold to blood sweat and tears for the break we put into the world of professional ballet enjoy that program i hope to see in just about an hour's time with another news update. the u.s. government project errol marty has been in place for twenty years this project was designed to break the media monopoly of cuban television by putting u.s. government propaganda on to t.v. screens this injection of american t.v. works with a blimp and a c one thirty military plane working in tandem you know this would actually be a major achievement in the history of technology if it actually worked this program

which over the years has built up a billion taxpayer dollars simply does not work but continues to exist despite the cuban government completely blocking the transmission the official logic of continuing the program is that it would send a bad message to the cuban government if they stopped brilliance and action but the big question is who gives the u.s. government the right to propagandize cuba is just because they have a different lifestyle doesn't mean it is wrong and the u.s. government does has the right to destroy it and even if cubans on mass actually do hate their system then it is their job to change cuba not the military industrial complex and it's cronies in washington but that's just my opinion.
