that it has to do with freedom of exhibit. meantime here in washington, lawmakers are warning countries that help snowden are risking a relationship with the united states. edward snowden's end run around extradition to the u.s. got under way sunday. the former contractor and spiller of secrets arrived in moscow on a commercial flight. snowden fled from hong kong where he'd been hiding out since revealing details of the nsa's phone and internet surveillance programs earlier this month. snowden is now trying to seek asylum in ecuador. wikileaks founder julian assange was granted asylum in ecuador and was living in the london embassy since last year. >> he has for obvious reasons good knowledge of extradition and we have acted as go-tweens.

>> snowden seized on the chance to leave after hong kong officials rebuffed the united states' request to extradite him. state department officials tell cbs news snowden's passport has been revoked, and in a statement said persons wanted on felony charges such as mr. snowden should not be allowed to proceed in any further international travel other than is necessary to return him to the united states. >> i think the chase is on. >> on capitol hill lawmakers are accusing china and russia of siding with snowden. >> i had actually thought that china would see this as an opportunity to improve relations and extradite him to the united states. >> i hope we'll chase him to the ends of the earth, bring him to justice, and let russia know there'll be consequences if they harbor this guy. >> the u.s. government is charging him with three crimes, two of which fall under the espionage act.

if convicted he faces a maximum of 30 years in prison, but right now, anne-marie, authorities just can't seem to get their hands on him. >> tara mergener in washington. thank you, tara. well, the south african government says the former south african president nelson mandela is in critical condition at this time. he's been in the hospital for two weeks fighting a lung condition and his condition has deteriorated within the past 24 hours. mark phillips is in pretoria. mark, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, anne-marie. well, the government's assessment of nelson mandela's condition has changed pretty dramatically from what was seen as hopeful to now pretty grim. this came after south african president jacob zuma visited him at the hospital yesterday. he consulted with the medical team. they issuesed a statement saying the condition had gone from what they had previously said, stable to critical. this corresponds to what we understand has been a general

decline in nelson mandela's condition, in fact, over pretty much the two weeks he has been in hospital that the initial lung infection he was initially admitted for had become even more complicated, that he was not experiencing other vie tall organ malfunctions and is not encouraging at all. the statement here is the doctors are doing everything to get his, nelson's condition improved and are making sure he's comfortable and in good hands. that's a remarkable change in tone to what they had previously been saying. there had been hope in the previous descriptions of the condition. and now it seems the world is being prepared for the worst. >> mark phillips in pretoria. thank you, mark. this morning trial is scheduled for george zimmerman. zimmerman says he acted in self-defense when he shot and killed florida teenager trayvon martin last year. marley hall is in sanford, florida. good morning, marley.
