whistleblower edward snowden. dismissing the conspiracy theories of u.s. officials as. meanwhile the u.s. is trying to throw the world prisms saying it's spying project only terrorists on social networks and i phones. in the first. economics the u.k. chancellor has more bad news in store for the british public he said to lay out his plans to slash another. half billion pounds from government budgets.

it is a nine am in moscow good morning to you from all of us here at our pleasure to have you with us today. russia has all but ruled out any chance of extraditing america's most wanted man u.'s holed up in transit at a moscow airport now edward snowden's never crossed into russia territory declared by the russian president vladimir putin rendering him immune to and outside the government's reach let's cross now live to watch news alexina chef at the airport with snowden is a believed to be good morning to you alexey the russian president laying it out all pretty clearly i thought. well ever since edward snowden touched down in moscow on sunday it's been the biggest mystery for the last seventy two hours or so what his next move would be he was supposed to fly to have on the from moscow on monday he was checked in supposedly for that flight but never made it there ever

since it's been speculated that he may have left the country on a different flight he may have left it elsewhere even some have been alleging that he may have been detained by the russian authorities delighted to be extradited to the united states both of these claims were in fact quashed by the russian president who compared mr snowden to the case of another very famous whistleblower . snowden's case is similar to that julian assange both called themselves defenders of human rights and fight for the freedom of information you have to ask yourself do such people need to be hunted down and put in prison but i personally would like to avoid cases like these just like sharing a pig knots of shrieking little fun. while the russians were rather clear in their explanation as to why snowden would not be extradited to the united states the explanation coming from the chinese authorities

as to why they didn't deny the extradition to united states was deemed hilarious and amusing by many own line i'll believe it or not the hong kong authority said they would not extradite snowden because in the paperwork that the united states provided to the chinese. for the extradition of the former n.s.a. man they did not specify what the j. in the edward j. snowden stood for joan or james so that's why they denied the extradition so of course there's been lots of uproar about that coming from across the atlantic with some of the politicians in washington pointing the finger at moscow and beijing for not cooperating with washington on the whistleblower on edward snowden some have even been alleging that snowden has been working together with the russian and the chinese special services this claim was yet again by both the russian foreign minister and the russian president. any accusations against russia and nothing but rubbish simply ravings special services never interacted with snowden

and the not doing same today. edward snowden is not only the most wanted man across the atlantic he's also the most wanted man by the media now this blind he was supposed to board on monday carried more than a hall full of moskos international press corps basically they want on a three day holiday to the caribbean and now it's also speculated what's his next move would be some are saying that he may wait for the dust to settle down and then move elsewhere some are saying that he may wait for his asylum plea to be satisfied by either ecuador venezuela in any case we have. bored waiting for the next move of the world's most high profile whistleblower and. when i was talking to you off air a few minutes ago we understand the snowden is alleged to be in that building behind you at a summer inside the at moscow's airport. thank you. well russia may face consequences for its inaction this a warning from senior u.s.

officials foremost among them secretary of state john kerry though it's not just moscow the may face washington's ati's guy nature can has this report. u.s. secretary of state john kerry hinted at possible consequences that russia may face for its response on snowden saying at times russians have criminals in the us there were looking for and he said the us has cooperated on handing over seven of them and it passed two years although if it were a russian whistleblower who stood up for civil liberties in russia it's kind of hard to imagine the us handing them over very quickly especially the us were not legally obliged to do so and in the case of snowden we heard the russian president say russia had no legal authority to stop him from traveling formally he hasn't crossed the russian border is a transit passenger didn't need a russian and he hasn't committed any crimes in russia moscow says russia doesn't want to have anything to do with mr stone but it's amazing how this story which had

absolutely nothing to do with russia is all about russia now much of the media here has turned the whole snowden story into a story about putin they invite lawmakers and experts who focus on russian putin here's for example senator mccain weighing in on the story. we got to start dealing with bladder mir putin in a realistic fashion for what he is he's an old k.g.b. colonel apparatchik that dreams of the days of the russian empire and he continues to stick your stamina for a broad variety of ways this kind of narrative in the media that's focused on russia certainly helps build up negative public opinion on snowden and eventually discredit his revelations the focus is not just on russia but also on china and here u.s. officials blast hong kong for letting small one fly about one of these revelations the fact that the u.s. spied on chinese research centers and universities here's the explanation that we heard from secretary kerry our surveillance activities on them it's our surveillance activities anonymously on thousands of chinese and the chinese

university mostly in order to be able to track terrorism if there is an act of terrorism or some linkage. that is appropriate some indicate on whatever it is could be anywhere in the world whatever it is then you have to go to court and you have to have court approval in order to do anything that is actually name specific person specific so secretary kerry said the u.s. was spying on chinese research centers and universities to find terrorists a lot of people would find that response quite confusing china would probably not buy it so you see u.s. officials being quite a vase if on what they're actually doing preferring to focus on the messenger instead on edward snowden and here's my colleague on associate york in a on how the media here goes along with that narrative some journalists believe the shocking us government spying scandal is the biggest story of our lifetime i sit in

my desk certainly have the authorities to to wiretap anyone from as you or your accountant to a federal judge to even the president if i had a personal e-mail but big brother shamelessly watching millions of people in secret seems to be turning into little more than a cat and mouse chase by the american mainstream media snowed snowed snow in my mind the only thing that's very really important. is it's really how the government is cracking down on. your mail over the place but that's far from most of the media's focus instead snowden is the source not the substance of the n.s.a. scandal is all the rage betraying your country is kind of a fashion statement what to me the national security kim carr dash and all technique all change the subject when you don't like what the subject is about you change you personalize it or you try to see what the problems are with the people who are delivering the message and ovoid actually explaining the message itself in

this case a massive spy scandal has been turned into a possible case of treason as an alice in wonderland first comes the verdict then the trial with pundits. eager to shoot the messenger we need to get very very serious about treason and old by the way for treason as in the case of bradley manning or edward snowden you bring back the death penalty from questioning whether the reporter who broke the scandal with snowden as his source should be punished along with the whistleblower why shouldn't you mr meanwhile be charged with a crime to news reports focused on snowden's girlfriend what's curious she also packed everything up and left for the mainland to pointing fingers at any other government but their own whether china or russia has been able to sort of suck out that knowledge from those computers while he's been in the countries of voiding the issue at hand seems to be a priority it doesn't surprise me that there should be this focus on. snowden so

the private is useful for his is it private affairs or his whereabouts and travel instead on the credibly important revelations that he has given us the answer to the question why is simple because they failed to do their job to actually expose all this so now they're blaming somebody who has exposed it and it makes them look bad ditto for the government the media coverage of the n.s.a. scandal a litmus test for journalism that most are failing instead of cleaning up their act and dwindling ratings networks are busy looking for bad guys elsewhere instead of looking the real villain in the face when you consider that as recently as one nine hundred seventy richard nixon was forced to resign in large part because he thought well. this is a huge change in our perception while a media war breaks out over supporting or hating edward snowden as little airtime as possible is actually dedicated to the spying on unsuspecting citizens itself the

biggest privacy leak in recent u.s. history has shown the media to have little ability to deal with complex issues instead indulging themselves in a manhunt you. again but then again this shouldn't be too shocking when the finger pointing every now and then is paused it's stories like this that fill air time albert gore and the sound of your holiday yani hey wait. a minute archie new york and eric draitser a new york based geo political analyst and believes the government and media are in cahoots wedging a concentrated smear campaign against mr snyder in the united states we see a concerted propaganda campaign designed to demonize and to destroy the image if not the total character of snowden and we see this happening from the right wing and also from the left wing those who are attacking glenn greenwald for his

revelations and snowden themselves this is now becoming a real story in the united states the way in which the controlled media is attacking snowden and serving the interests of the surveillance state and the partisanship behind president obama the united states certainly will not give up we've seen cases of extraordinary rendition from all over the globe carried out by the united states and it wasn't just in the context of so-called terrorists if i were snowden i would be working under the assumption that there really is no place anywhere on earth that will be one hundred percent safe but i think that the strategy that he has taken incorporating china incorporating russia using the infrastructure built up by wiki leaks is absolutely critical to ensuring his safety . and while washington maintains the large scale surveillance project exposed by snowden saying it targets only terrorism well it apparently it turns out that a sky being googling and changing the likes on facebook on something potential

terrorists tend to do. is here to tell us exactly what part of cyberspace instead they occupy is it more or less true than every new that that extremist elements radical elements tend to avoid the popular networking site absolutely it is true because when we're talking about prison and what it does we have to understand that it actually covers a very small portion of the internet in fact prism only is basically involved with the largest companies such as google or facebook or you tube and that's where most of its search is done but then of course most of these web sites aren't are really the focus of the jihad that is they have a tendency to look for terrorist related information and they can find it on the appropriate forums which in fact are hidden deep within the so called underwear but if you look at this you can you can imagine it basically as an iceberg at the tip of the iceberg is everything that prism is focusing on but underneath there is billions and billions of bits of data which is not covered by prism and all of

these are all of the all of the information that's extensionally underneath underneath the iceberg is not indexed by the major search engines in fact google has at one point admitted that it only indexes less than one percent of data that's available on the web according to that do the dutch intelligence service but digital terrorists have a tendency to go to war forums which are highly encrypted and hidden within the deep web so they really have to know what they're looking for and where to find it for example a case in point could be the brothers they have turned to one of the more known radical sources sometimes referred to as the vanity fair. and the web site existence is no secret for some reason u.s. security services failed to try. the brother is active in sea even after a tip off from russia and thereby they failed to prevent the boston bombings so really when we're talking about prism. looking at the information and supposedly

using it to prevent terrorist attacks such as the boston bombings or whatever it may be they're actually will reading e-mails and facebook accounts and really failing to look where where some people actually know for a fact terrorists go to to look for information indeed it can't be that complicated for america's intelligence he was saying you know for the biggest in the world these are going to go thank you. all right while a human rights activist arpita touch on the meantime he believes the u.s. is trying to twist the snowden case and what it classes as his shameful revelations trying to sky is the fact that it's being caught red. well of course the united states government will try and spin it whatever way it can to discredit edward snowden and to put its own policies in the best possible light but the fact is instead of going for the messenger public focus and government focus should be on the messages given which is that millions of people worldwide who are entirely

innocent have been subjected to mass surveillance by the u.s. administration without the approval of congress congress never voted to put this system in place nor have the governments of any other country this is rogue spying by a rogue state i mean if it was it would snowden had been an iranian whistleblower who exposed global snooping by the terror own regime he would have been hailed by the united states as a horowitz whistleblower or he would have been lauded and praised. and today's edition of cross talk also focusing on snowden's actions and what could awaiting the future talk about some intense debate you can watch your seven thirty g.m.t. before we get there though for now a very quick preview. pretty clear that the longer he goes out on the lam so to speak and particularly the places he's going or purported to going china russia

cuba these are not places that are known for internet freedom so to speak either so i only i don't hear that those i always hear that i mean internet freedom is not really interrupted here in russia but it's said all the time over and over again so and there's no evidence that he's there and he's going to be saying let me say let me tell you that he's there is no evidence that he's met with russian officials he's on even entered the country so we'll see what that means you want to reply that you know just a little matter if just to correct on ecuador you know ecuador has vastly i think they've had one of the fastest rates of growth of internet anywhere in the hemisphere. since korea has been in office and there's absolutely no monitor there's no censorship of internet and no evidence that the government is doing any kind of monitoring so you can definitely leave ecuador out of any list of countries that you think is not a pioneer of internet freedom. they

were ready to do anything for their country to try to love their country more than yourself if you join the military any other reason that you're probably not going to have a good day they were in the hands of the state. they live remembering that is impossible to get rid of. the war. but it ever good people get heard. i've heard good people be silent. but would prefer not to be sometimes i feel like. i should have died over there. because i. i saw some people who. are is cheaper than therapy.

thank you for joining us today on rory sushi in moscow here i see that the u.k. chancellor george osborne is set to announce even more sweeping national cuts in his upcoming spending review he's already said that almost twelve billion pounds need to be shaved from government budgets and he's going to tell the british people just who is going to suffer the most. now reports on the issue they're cutting crucial services back to the bare bones might well have a devastating effect on the lives of the most fun or. once

a place of sanctuary now a peyton symbol of austerity burson a small garden with west often sought refuge from her financial worries it was here she'd raised a family but when her son moved out she was caught by the new government scheme the bedroom tax those in social housing with spare rooms must face a cuts to their housing benefits all moved to somewhere smaller less than a month ago and the fifty three year old grandmother of one killed herself by stepping in front of the meeting lori she left this suicide note behind for her devastated family about god with her world she loved about god. and. all that she'd know. the government that the cuts are necessary and that the current changes to the benefit system will eventually improve the lives of some of the poorest family but

as part of the welfare taking place right now angela murray had essentially slashed from twenty hours a day to just three earlier this week she delivered a petition signed by forty five thousand people calling on the chancellor to invest in say. if you think. you haven't committed any crime. and you've been restricted to. prison. for how. could you face another fifty years of. people. having to pay. just. to have. this problem was caused. this problem was caused by regulation of the.

small tight knit communities like this one. might be a long way from westminster because many of the people who live in communities like that have been among some of the hardest hit by the government. i'm sure i wouldn't . i'd rather be that one of them with the money. because what we all got. to watch somebody in your community do what they've done to be. experts have said situations like stephanie's are avoidable and point to iceland as an example

the country saw a collapse of its banking system a few years back but protected spending cheesing stimulus save austerity jaring their banking crisis so i turned into a three percent growth in two thousand and twelve compared to just point two percent in the u.k. but with the government seemingly committed to that there will sterrett he drive the worry is that these cuts will for many more people across the like stephanie boucher's friends and family have affects the irreversible so r.t. . and a world update time here on r t starting with the e.u.'s decision to postpone further toll on turkey's membership of the law or at least for months ultimately balun to pressure from germany and other capitals of criticized for cracking down on anti-government protests at least twenty people were arrested in the city on tuesday for their alleged role in attacks on police during an rest up. an american

president obama and his afghan counterpart have agreed to open talks with the taliban just a day after a shooter sold on the presidential palace in kabul and the two leaders also supported the recent opening of a taliban office in qatar though it is of four extremists under three security guards died in choose days attack of the militants used fake i.d.'s to get into the zone and let the blast off one. of the five being killed when a roadside bomb attached to a motorbike blew up in the southern city of karachi in pakistan a senior judge was thought to be the target he was seriously wounded after the suicide bomber rammed his vehicle at this point no one's claimed responsibility for the blast or the judge had reportedly been receiving death threats. the dominance of america's big three credit ratings agencies could be under threat a new hong kong based international agency has entered the arena of the s. and p.

moody's and fitch were accused of being financial in forstmann arms of america heavy pilbeam reports. the big three have had their own way for over one hundred years but were ridiculed for not just failing to see the financial crash coming but making the situation worse by dishing out optimistic ratings for toxic mortgage backed investments and giving investors the confidence to pile it on until now accusations they knew exactly what they were doing which is that accusations but now it appears there might be some proof that the agencies were deliberately fooling investors rolling stone magazine has published details from a san diego based law appeared to show the mood is an s. and p. have been exchanging high ratings for cash according to the article e-mails have been found from s. and p. alice with with comments like this has to be the stupidest plays i've watched it out as you know i had difficulties explaining how we got those numbers since there

is no science behind it these allegations are quite frightening considering the rating agencies put their rubber stamp on multi billion dollar deals are still seen by many in the financial world as the backbone of the credit body i'll turn it into these agents is not before time so kid universal credit rating group says it intends to reform the current regime the company based in hong kong will be made up of china's dugong u.s. agency jones and russia's reason writing on the head of research says it's all about balance rating agency that is based in hong kong it is so that we can provide to the investment world. views that can be used to balance their investment views from the united states so the dominating days of the big three could be over and it may now be their turn to get downgraded.
