a pro mercy sit ins in the capital the former president's backers responding by torching government buildings ortiz world true in cairo has been witnessing firsthand the deadliest violence since the twenty eleven revolution. 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 protest or 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 the to the about the way it's been which is now no longer an encampment at that point i saw security forces opening fire with live ammunition an automatic weapon any 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 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 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 from the makeshift morgues after every battle there is a 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 up being false and it was here find any way sophia helmi 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 baba a dummy a mosque where he'd been camping for weeks as well as died from two bullets one was in his heart there are 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 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 march a city obey the. people when we go to the street in the jones here it is i think it said that i listen and i am obeying the will of the egyptian people went to the streets how about this bieber watched day in the street for forty seven days then they would rise and their gift is to kill them dr mohamed mahmoud was on duty when the first casualty started coming in within hours he treated several dozen patients the 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 are they gyptian army even in our religion we have some proof they said that these are the best army and over the world but not to

kill his own people his bishop sions all as we our history with the egyptian army to defend us not to kill us this that's why i'm saying this is a very bad and black chapter the accusations and contact his. patients are heating up each side blames the other for unprovoked excessive violence the army stands accused of firing at unarmed protesters while the brotherhood is feared for spreading violence anything is possible now unfortunately in every single step that we've been witnessing 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 teetering on the brink of civil war policy r.t. kind. generous to north

a human thinks that egypt's military government will be on able to keep the situation the country under control it seems that anything is possible egypt is obviously sliding into a very desperate condition and the future is highly uncertain and all the predictions so far about what's going to happen in egypt volta about to be wrong what's clear is that egypt is a very divided society the islamists having won the last four democratic elections or elections. very popular they can't just be swept under the table it's not possible to turn the clock back to the mubarak era and that seems to be the plan at the moment for general sisi and his backers to try and go back to the kind of status quo ante before the two thousand and eleven revolution but i think if that is their plan they are dreaming because islamists in egypt are now used to being free and being able to practice their religion the way they want and it's not going

to be easy to deny these people. well chaos on the streets egypt's western allies have come out of strong statements against the violence but as yet little action the u.s. has refused to stem the flow of military aid to the country it is shadow to continue as usual of currencies one point three billion dollars a year in hardware and services and includes fighter jets apache helicopters and surface to air missiles as well as high tech surveillance equipment ministration has also been reluctant to avoid calling the ousting of a president who because doing so would legally require it to cut military support a spokesperson from the british egyptians for democracy group says that exposes washington's double standards. well it's actually quite shameful to see countries and leaders of western governments who held themselves because 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 goes who have been oppressed in egypt. are also asking today for your views on what the violent crackdown of protesters a state of emergency in egypt will lead to here's how the web site voting looks so far the majority sixty two percent there it's

a precursor to egypt sliding further into conflict sixteen percent say it is an essential measure to restore democracy about the same number think a return to the move burke era is on the cards on the smallest share of you so far if the crackdown shows the army's inability to deal with the protests we go to r.t. dot com and cast your vote where you can stay on top of the latest developments in egypt any type of r.t. dot com we have dramatic pictures from the heart of the unrest as well as a timeline and first hand accounts of the troubles. russian authorities have reiterated guarantees that the civil rights of both gay athletes and spectators will not be infringed at next year's sochi winter olympics

a softer european and u.s. activists called for a boycott of the games over a law banning giving information about homosexuality to underage teens parties and these are now in research a sat down with a panel of guests to discuss the media frenzy surrounding the legislation. we are it international community bonded by the homophobia that affects all of us and what we have to do is take a stand against the fact that the government is actually preventing education rather than propaganda that is desperately needed feel people who are growing up lesbian and gay growing up with prejudice this causes death it causes distress anti gay bullying is terrific but it also is deep in issues because of the huge find it imposes an organization and individuals who even mention gay rights but i'm going i just you know i like you i constantly as a journalist hear us and see the sides but you know i constantly as a journalist here go on about gay rights in russia on this channel i've spoken

various networks around the world about this i've not been penalized or find out or i'm just trying to give you good people at home the reality of the situation here i posted on facebook on saturday probably about one face rather than the protests and as as basically a scouse journalist here i know the reality of life and i just wanted to put to stop the exterior you know it doesn't snow all year around there's a simmering active thriving gay community in russia and indeed in sochi when i was filming the last week and there is one that i just wanted to actually get my car on humble mature opinion regarding gay life in russia and i was nothing short of i was assassinated for a for having possibly you know you know pro you know thoughts on russia which is seen as as evil russia want to talk about it's a political commentator. there london as well as the recent levada poll recently saying that more than half of russian support the law and conservative traditions alexander your thoughts on that well i think first of all i've been asking some

people here what is it exactly that british athletes are playing to do in sort of other going to. gay lifestyles are they going to compete actually in the games themselves let me tell you something. about the libor log here and the game will be as well we have that none none existing debate about gay marriage same sex marriage the debate was suppressed by the liberal elite nobody was allowed to say anything the moment you questioned you know whether it's a wise thing to do you were immediately accused of being called before i think it's done for the gay community to realize you cannot prevent the people for having their own views and in london you know of what those who are on computers and i think it's total intolerance dolan's by the good by the liberal elites that note a lot of this political correctness has turned into censorship all of the countries

and i think this gets forgotten have signed in a lympics charter which states that there is no kind of demonstration or political religious or racial propaganda allowed to any olympic sites venues or other areas is the l z b t community going to allow this olympics to become about gay rights and not about the olympics and also what about other minorities that feel like they need to have their say at the olympics how many protests are we going to see or we're going to have a gay pride protest and then a protest about western countries that what russia to intervene in syria and then another protests from the environmentalists they don't think the olympics should be held there at all everyone is going to want to have their say. well russia's leading gay activist has been infuriated by other sponsors of the international media police twitter page nikolai alexei overwrote he won't be giving any interviews to western journalists so nearly slow the country's name is anger was sparked by an article in britain's guardian newspaper suggesting the russian government could eventually remove children from same sex couples.

in saudi arabia those opposing the ruling families policy is now been joined by a member of the royal family itself a prince of the house of saudi left the country citing his increasing anger over the kingdom's human rights record on the arabic spoke exclusively to the defector cues is the regime of violence and oppression. 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 the ministry of interior keeps him in prison even though there is a court order to release him 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 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 numerous human rights violations in 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 be any critical comments from washington. 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 areas. 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 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 or areas from the level bureaucrats to hiring officials every civil servant is very skillful in using bribes in their operations. well the first turn this pepe escobar from the asia times and sunny redness routers often focusing this sickly its 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 stick 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 ziploc recy they say 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. well coming up on l.t. seeking refuge tens of thousands flee their homes one of the most devastating floods in a century it's russia's far east. where of rubbish bins on the streets of london

it's emerged the u.k. is using smaller bins to attract the small buttons also is but one that after the break. well. it's technology innovation all the leads developments from around russia we've got the future covered. wealthy british stock. markets why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy. there are no holds barred look at the global financial headlines in two kinds

a report. and. and.

themed. welcome back to the program. around one hundred thousand people may have to be evacuated to safety in russia's far east he said devastating floods and the huge has already forced many twenty thousand people to abandon their homes water levels the highest in over a century according to officials were caused by heavy rains in july. meteorologists predict that the worst is yet to come with

a high watermark expected later this week the floods have affected three of russia's largest regions leaving much the surrounding countryside submerged of the damage to farmland is currently estimated at around sixty million dollars scott reports from the scene. with the water levels in some parts of the region having risen seventy two centimeters on saturday a line 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 the final number will be substantially lower now 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 on saturday provided fifty tons of 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 grow things like tomatoes and potatoes and sell them locally they also produce oil which is sold in may by china with four hundred thousand hectares currently underwater it's clear to see that it's not just people's homes that are being damaged but also potentially their livelihoods. well over a web site now a french nuclear scientists don't seem to bother the where they store radioactive material it appears that they consider a pressure cooker is a perfectly normal place for holding to tell you the full bizarre story plus. decide what you don't like and what you don't know the hope of a new virus which creates internet hype to sensationalize products and social media that's all web site r.t. dot com to learn how people can be mis directed by false. if

you're walking down a london street there's a high probability of being spied on but it's not about c.c.t.v. it's been revealed that some seemingly harmless street side rubbish bins are capable of tracking passers by. exactly how the high tech trash cans work. 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 small phone 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'll go and 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 bought 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 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 camacho companies but entire governments that are spying on their citizens and just last week we found out that just telecom on devoted a phone had been secretly processing on details of their customer's conversations over to intelligence agency g c h q coming to. 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 governments who are truly 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 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 money. in many of us knew that even. the. u.s. says it will take nearly a decade to return hundreds of tons of gold to germany had stored in american vaults so after berlin asked the federal reserve to return its billion instances

stoke fear is the fed new longer possesses the gold that's been holding for germany and other countries what is going to teach a kind of force. behind these walls is one of the most secretive organizations in the world u.s. federal reserve whether it's nice 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 the 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 the reason being that there has been speculation for a long time that the fed doesn't actually have much good that it has either sold it all lent it out or used it as collateral for borrowing 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 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 banks increasing their own gold reserves and he seems after all these years the world decided they put too much power in this one building. i'll be back with more news around fifteen minutes time now but before that we have the latest business news in venture capital katie pick up the break stay with us.
