news n r t ecuador says it can't grant asylum to the one on the run whistleblower edward snowden and while he is not on its soil the n.s.a. leaker remains holed up in a moscow airport. while snowden's revelations of a new case huge phone and online tapping hasn't put the government off to staying the spying budget despite toughening a serious. ban ages military bracing itself for mass rallies with the opposition preparing to take to the streets to vent it sangar president morsi who is about to mark his first year in the top job.

five pm in the russian capital and breaking news this hour here on our t.v. ecuador says there are obstacles in granting asylum to whistleblower edward snowden the development of was revealed in a press conference by the country's government in the ecuadorian capital snowden himself remains somewhere in the transit zone of moscow's sheremetyevo airport of god to r.d.s. lucic often of outside the airport to bring us the very latest was a talk us through the very latest on snowden that we have so far. hi there so now that we've heard from ecuadorian high level officials there their government has said today just a few shortly that it has not processed the former american spy agency contractor edward snowden asylum request because he has not reached quote any of its diplomatic premises what does that mean he's not an ecuadorian soil nor has he been able to reach an embassy which would officially count as ecuadorian soil that is because edward snowden blew here to moscow on

a transit ticket that was supposed to take him to have vanna and of course journalist speculates to ecuador later on there are. of course no direct flights to ecuador which is why he was he had to go here through through russia and would presumably go through a band now he paces a few problems the united states of course revoked his passport which means that he neither has a visa to enter russia nor can he directly buy a ticket to ecuador or to have bana without that valid passport how he's going to be able to get out of that we don't know the airline that operates that flight to havana aeroflot has said that he has not been registered on any of the upcoming flights for the next three days we did have one of our reporters in the transit area and she was able to give us a bit of an update about how he is not on the flight that had left at two pm today let's play you that sound bite. i was actually snuck a peek at the computer because i asked of snowden has registered and i guess lucky me the clerk at the registration didn't know who snowden was apparently there is a person out there who's not keeping up with the with the news but i stuck

a peek in the computer and there was no edward snowden registered for this flight so that means this wonder exactly where and when mr snowden is going to go. so what we know from that if he's still holed up here at sheremetyevo in the transit zone in order for him to actually legally apply for asylum through ecuador according to officials in that country he would somehow have to enter ecuadorian soil that could be for example the embassy here in moscow but again without a russian visa without a valid passport it's really difficult to see at this point how he would be able to do so will of course keep you up you up to date on those developments as they develop now what is the united states doing to try to get him back so far the u.s. has been working through diplomatic channels secretary of state john kerry has been in touch with the russians the u.s. can't officially ask russia to extradite snowden because there is no extradition treaty although the country can ask russia for example to expel him from here and

in order for him to get back to the states into custody no indication so far from president vladimir putin that russia is willing to do that now we did hear from president barack obama who spoke at a press conference in senegal and he basically said that there is a he said that he has not spoken to putin directly about this neither has he spoken to the chinese president directly he said that he shouldn't top two that the regular diplomatic channels should be enough and because of the massive amount of trade that the united states does with both russia and china president obama said that he he's not going to have one case i'm quoting here of a suspect who we've been trying to extradite suddenly being elevated to the point where i've got to doing start doing wheeling and dealing and trading on a whole host of other issues so at this point the u.s. is still trying to figure out a way to to get its hands on snowden through regular diplomatic channels but of course no progress on that point at this moment or at least he thinks so for this on date and of course we'll continue to monitor the situation and bring you all the very latest as we get it how

a human rights activist want to government to let snowden stay in the country and act the fox of their foreign colleagues at amnesty international saying a thirty year old has not committed any crime by exposing a vast global surveillance by the u.s. our dislikes here shift he explains. while the world decides where the edward snowden is hero or villain russia's human rights activists have clearly made their minds up it's not too often they see eye to eye with russia's president but they welcome to put his decision not to extradite the former n.s.a. employee still outraged by washington st mint of the whistleblower the ask more school to take more than just a neutral stand. in the current situation russia has to do everything in its power to aid snowden he cites for those exact principles that the u.s. doubts that in fact transgressive yet the more i hear and i think russia should now act according to the law to not let the man be led like

a lamb to slaughter the head of russia's anti-corruption committee went even further kilgobbin of says he's ready to write a letter to putin urging him to keep snowden in russia. despite the fact that he has no passport let him go to those countries that are willing to accept him we cannot act like a weak country that understands exactly what's going on but at the same time says no stay away from this. edward snowden has never asked for political asylum in russia but with heavy support coming from the human rights camp you couldn't rule out a positive response from the kremlin if you did his active asylum pleas are still pending a decision from ecuador and venezuela snowden himself was still presumably sitting tight inside most schools a report which leaves a lot of space for more twists and turns to this song former officers of security services describe the snowden as a gift to the intelligence they're usually used for in the exchange between countries but with such strong reaction coming from russia's human rights activists

many agree that extraditing snowden now would be like shooting oneself in the foot . reporting from moscow it appears the u.k. sweeping surveillance is going beyond g c h q phone and online eavesdropping a special police unit has reportedly been scanning what british citizens are posting online in social networks well let's get the details from r.t. sara for us now. so how much of a shock really is this news i mean given the fact that most facebook and twitter users actually choose to make their data public. exactly what we know and we we when we post something on facebook there is it's well known of the possibility of course that that's going to be seen you're putting out there in the public sphere but i think these revelations really causing concern because of the scope of the intelligence gathering this is twenty four hours a day seven days

a week your facebook twitter you tube and it's a little known unit in the metropolitan police known as succulent it's social media intelligence and they've been working as a lead to the team of around seventeen offices combing through this information now it's not brand new news because we covered this story recently we've been looking at the rise for example of the number of arrests that police have been making on the back of what people have put on their twitter accounts but of course now you've got this in the context of the revelations over prison and that's really blowing the debate wide open about intelligence gathering in the u.k. and the u.s. in about exactly what privacy means in the digital age well to talk more to us about this i'm joined by big brother what is deputy director and the. other thank you very much for joining us i thought every time that we speak of this sort of black mirror esque reality i mean it really does seeing the stuff of fiction is

becoming part of daily life and that what we're putting out those being constantly monitored i think also they can very importantly prism of course you've got information being got the should be hidden from the world the scene is private but of course the sock meant this is stuff we're putting in a public forum so why is this a problem surely this is exactly what the police should be doing well what the problem is is that there's no safeguards there to protect people and protect the police officers who are going in getting that surveillance there's lots of safeguards in place already where the. to the full extent of an argument about this if it's in our ordinary day to day world in terms of how much surveillance you can be part and so can somebody tap your phone and somebody intercept your letters or can someone follow you around with a camera and see what you're doing but there's no such thing when it comes to the internet so when not saying that this shouldn't take place what we're saying is

that is it necessary proportionate isn't actually in the public interest and if so then there needs to be a framework there to see consistency throughout all of the police forces you know the huge storm at the moment the u.s. and u.k. intelligence gathering after the revelations about for as a sock minutes being described as prisons a little brother is that that well i think for a lot of people it will be that bad i mean when you come down to the very small nuances of it it's you know it's our private information and what we perceive to be private and you know we all know the digital world and quit and things that we know it isn't actually as private as we'd like it to be and so we do feel like on a day to day basis there should be some safeguards in place for it to go around in in complete freedom unless we do something wrong and the same should be put forward in terms of social media important point is that. you guys at big brother watch say that this is about the regulation of it because you know the police say that they're doing this to you know for example what we saw in the london riots in two thousand and eleven

a lot of people will understand that and say you know that's exactly what the police should be. saying there's this kind of gap in the regulation whereby you know no one really knows what what's allowed and what's not exactly and that has to be proportionate i mean we see far too often where people make very silly comments online and they're immediately arrested because of some outrage of some of the people on online and there isn't actually a legal basis for that and so the other hand we see people who are probably you know. who are organizing big protests or riots who are getting wise to there seems very moving further and further underground so there has to be a level of proportionality there in terms of what information is being gay. there's a more. thank you very much for joining us the met police have in that city go to get about the information about. the cause the further discussion as this still rage is of course on the back of the revelations of prison . sarah thanks very much indeed for this update and i was responding to her first

in london talking to am a car from big brother watch. now meanwhile it appears the revelations over the u.k.'s massive snooping into have failed to embarrass the british government the latest public spending review is promising the intelligence services and nother one hundred million pounds annually from twenty fifteen and i six of my five and it's listening facility g c h q will get a three point four percent budget rice that's more than any other department including the health service and education contributor option returns he says the attempt to justify the move by referring to the terror threats is not convincing. all this extra money for m i five six and g c h q when previously the government said they were causing it they're trying to spin this is something to do with the woolwich attack here in south london when a british soldier was beheaded seemingly but that in a terrorist incident but as we know and as we've got it on this channel that itself

was an m i five operation in the sense that the s.e.'s recording with m i five because this man had been in kenya in the somalian border why are they doing this right now and how all of that while they're cutting the science research budget pollution controls flood controls closing down libraries hurting the dispossessed the people with fragile lives they want to put all this money into the intelligence agencies and also i should add they're also increasing the aid for in aid budget which so many of the ferry strange operations also occur in the name of foreign aid to help other countries well despite the cost cutting drive being in full swing the e.u. is trying to mobilize billions to tackle youth unemployment it's now at the top of the agenda for europe's leaders and is about averting a catastrophe and saving a generation more on that shortly here on r t.

security forces is not something the very least when people are really worried is that if they're buying coffee this morning that it may get worse in the lead up to the anniversary protests continue with private jets on the horizon all of you missed something on the air or you can always catch up on our headlines and a much more online so here's a quick look at what's there for you today. swallowed by flames a huge blaze in council standoffs eight story building after a massive gas tanker blast check out this fire breathing video on our worry you tube channel. and another earthquake away online despair over going tom obey literally knows no limits that's after him to give him a protester was arrested after she climbed over a wide house fans for more details. of the story number of jobless used have put e.u. leaders on high alert fearing

a whole generation good and up without ever gaining an employment they've just struck a deal on the much debated seven year budget at a summit in brussels and are set to focus on finding a plan to help the youngsters get a job are you skeptical of him looks at the situation the last generation and that is how everyone is referring to the five point six million unemployed young people in europe and overall use drop us rate of twenty three percent in greece and spain the situation is even worse way that youth unemployment over fifty percent while these numbers sound pretty about the consequences are even worse young people who have studied hard to achieve the best grades and yet don't get to reap the benefits of such dedication unless they resent those who will succumb to it which could ultimately result in social unrest especially as these energetic young people are so afraid of tear gas and so. that they will not voice their discontent on the streets also the employment gap on a resume is also seen as a negative by employers added to this the fact that these citizens are not able to

contemplate to the growth of their own amaze that's pressure on the whole financial system so what is being done to avoid total mayhem on the streets and the shuttering of young people. well the e.u. leaders are planning to splash out six billion euros to tackle the escalating problem writes we can all relax e.u. is on to us but while the european financial crisis is still in full swing the question is where exactly is this cash coming from well it is agreed back in february that they would set aside the money from the twenty fourteen twenty twenty budget for the youth guarantee projects but this is yet to be approved by the european parliament so good intentions but no policy in place yet to do with the situation and even if this money is finally found it may not be enough since it has recently turned out that south european states on the alone in their misery while overall unemployment may be lower in scandinavia young people make up the bulk of

the unemployment rate so the more time mrs tate to come up with the cash to solve the problem more problems will be caused by the shattered dreams of the restless young. now the six billion euros the e.u. is planning to span on training or use is not enough to fix the worrying trend as dr barbara home president of the hague and so you do in vienna explains she says europe's rigid labor laws need a major overhaul. do you have to do something with these young kids that are on the street for example in greece they understand that things have been have gotten wrong in this country they know that they that the system needs to change definitely that structural reforms need to be made and that they need to take their fate in their own hands the labor laws that we have seen in europe are trusts not flexible at all and they really do not support employment as

a matter of fact they are against employment if no measures are taken no right measures are taken that really work out it could get worse. now with the u.s. president on a weeklong visit to africa there's a controversy over the goals if you strip barack obama was one sailed a hero by matty africans but that popularity has slid away over military operations and cuts to aid with the tour is being touted as an attempt to strengthen ties or she's got it she can reports some see it as an effort to counter chinese influence on the continent. right now africa is in the center of america's so-called war on terror we hear about a new drone base is popping up on the african continent in countries whose governments we see from the u.s. in one form or another we hear about the u.s. army and training security forces in a number of states in africa then we learn how some of those forces commit most horrible atrocities and get the u.s.

doesn't stop to take a second look at who they empower just a few most recent examples a you when we poor found us train troops in congo guilty of mass rape another trustees human rights watch released a report documenting the abuse rape and torture of at least one thousand somali refugees by u.s. backed kenyan police forces this follows a report by the open society justice initiative that connected u.s. counterterrorism and influence to systematic human rights abuses in kenya and uganda then you have secretary of state john kerry himself expressing quote deep concern around human rights abuses committed by the nigerian military a major u.s. counterterror partner his statement says gross human rights violations committed by nigerian security forces only escalate the violence and fuel extremism washington sees what's going on but does it really change their calculations i spoke with the editor of pan african newswire as he. may see that there too with the african

states. but we know from the history of the united states that they did not nothing regard to their foreign policy if there's no real strategic interest for the united states. of course maintaining a relationship with all these different african states and at the same time to edge out the people's republic of china which is pretty sort of them out. in africa just over the last few years that china has become the number one trading partner of the african union in africa is an extremely rich continent the case for terrorists may not be the only reason the u.s. wants to have as much presence as possible there take a listen to what mr as he was said about that many of the countries in west africa a large or produces for example nigeria which is the largest u.s.

importer. of oil into the united states from africa in east africa they have been a huge finding of all of natural gas all along the eastern coast of africa from somalia all the way down to tanzania so this in my opinion explains why we have this escalation of u.s. military intervention on the after the continent so backlash in the form of extremism on the one end of the scale and tangible benefits on the other that could be the dilemma that the u.s. is weighing in africa now but as we've seen reports about gross human rights violations haven't stopped us from partnering up with use of government in washington i'm going to check out and now more news making headlines around the world starting with brazil where a fresh a wave of protests once again spilled into the street as protesters clashed with riot police here a stadium house

a year confederations cup football match the violence was sparked after tens of thousands try. to march to the ground but were blocked by security forces who opened fire with rubber bullets and tear gas the country has been engulfed by the largest anti-government protests in decades demanding better social services. and the condition of former south african leader nelson mandela is reported to have considerably improved overnight the change comes after a warning yesterday the health of the ninety four year old was extremely critical the current president jacob zuma even canceled a trip abroad the country's first black president has been in hospital fighting a recurring lung infection for almost three weeks now thousands of supporters of the anti-apartheid i can have been gathering outside his hospital lighting candles and praying. hundreds of protesters clashed with police over night in the chilean capital santiago police used water cannon and tear gas to disperse riot in

crowds more than one hundred people were arrested protestors were demanding educational reforms chile has experienced a resurgence in student protest over a soaring cost on affordable loans and poorly trained teachers. well this brings us up to date here in our team coming up next as prime interest a look into the f.b.i. clampdown bitcoin dealers. i love life but there is a lot of sick stuff going on on this planet for example according to bloomberg a hospital in chicago has been accused by the f.b.i. of cutting the throats of patients for big bags of cash a tracheotomy is

a procedure to get air directly into the windpipe of someone who can't breathe by cutting a hole into it an f.b.i. affidavit based on tape recording says that the hospital knowingly and purposely sedated patients to the point that they couldn't breathe properly and would need tracheotomy and as you know in the u.s. health care system nothing comes cheap trick out of his own days cost about one hundred sixty thousand dollars a pop this alleged conspiracy between doctors and management is not the first of its kind at this hospital an administrator and five doctors have already been charged for medicare fraud for giving and receiving kickbacks not only is having a hole punched in your neck for money disgusting but it may also be lethal because patients at that hospital in chicago are three times more likely to die than patients at other hospitals from tracheotomies throughout the state now how did the f.b.i. find out about this well three employees ratted out the hospital and worked with the f.b.i. to make a lot of incriminating voice recordings these people risk their jobs and possibly

much more to do what was right and i salute them reading out evil is no wrong deed but that's just my opinion. but in the prime interest i'm perry and boring bright. as live out of washington d c let's get to today's a prime had winds. they old as one federal reserve and the f.d.i.c officials were hauled in front of congress to answer and guess what the president of the dallas into richmond fed beings were not too optimistic that too big to fail is a thing of the past and the f.d.a. see a vice chairman a thomas pawning as said regulators that must eliminate the subsidies to do it the big bang. ok we're going to hold our breath on that one and drive interest producer adjusting under hell it will demonstrate just how big the belled actually were

later in the show. and more bad news for hedge fund titan steve biko when government lawyers are saying he turned a blind eye to alleged criminal insider trading activity at his front this was a similar claim against martha stewart just don't talk about john korn sign you didn't seem to know that m.f. global was a legally binding customer funds to j.p. morgan and finally we've been reporting the clamp down by the feds on basically dealers but now the states are getting involved california new york and the virgin yet have sent letters to certain cryptocurrency converters that threatened to shut their operations down and while it's easy to transfer big coins once you have them to change them and out of another currency is a bit more tricky and requires compliance with numerous laws will get to this the ramifications of the n.s.a. whistle blowing scandal on the us dollar and other matters with those of salerno in

just a bit and here is what's in your prime interest. a run on the bank is one of the most threatening mechanisms to ensure banks are adequately financed traditionally we think of bank runs as depositors flocking to the banks to withdraw their funds at the same time pushing the bank into insolvency but as we saw in the most recent financial panic there was a different type of run on the bank in the so-called shadow banking sector earlier i spoke with joseph salerno he's the academic vice president of the wood with the bottom mrs institute and professor of economics.
