if. ecuador says it can grant asylum to the one on the run whistleblower edward snowden while he's not on the soil the n.s.a. leaker remains holed up at a moscow airport. and on the heels of snowden's revelations about britain's huge phone and online tapping it turns out the u.k. police are secretly monitoring social networks on a daily basis. and egyptian military is bracing itself for mass rallies with the opposition preparing to take to the streets to van its anger at president morsi who is about to mark his first year in the top job.

six pm and moscow you're watching our joshie welcome to the program well agrah door says there are obstacles in granting asylum to whistleblower edward snowden the development was revealed in a press conference by the country's government in ecuador in capital snowden self remains somewhere in the transit zone of moscow's sheremetyevo airport where we got our teams losing often outside the airport to bring us the very latest. so what is the latest that we know snowden and specifically is where abouts. by their marina what the latest information we have from at least one report is that snowden reportedly did check into a capsule hotel at the transfer area here at the sheremetyevo airport this is one of those you know temporary little hotels we can get a room with a bathroom to stay according to that report he reportedly remained there for about four hours and then left with a group of men unclear where he left to. but to the best of our knowledge at this

point he remains inside that transit zone in that airport now he got to russia because originally he was supposed to fly to havana cuba presumably on the way to ecuador that's how he was able to get to russia on a transfer flight he doesn't actually have a bit of visa in order to russia and he ran into a few problems number one is that the united states has cancelled his passport so because he missed that original flight to cuba he has to book another one how do you do that without a passport good question the second problem for us as you mention is there is now issues with ecuador in order to apply for asylum here portly needs to be an ecuadorian soil and actually we did hear from other secretary of political affairs abedi tola about this issue at a press conference earlier on thursday and here's what she had to say. equador and government has not authorized and is sort of safe passage documents allowing mr snowden to come to a country we also have not considered snowden's asylum request because he's not an

ecuadorian territory as the law requires. so what does that mean he can't get to ecuador because right now he doesn't have documents to fly there and he also can't get to for example the ecuadorian embassy in moscow this is what julian assange did with. an embassy in london because he doesn't have a visa to be in russia and the russian officials haven't indicated that they're willing to help them to do so so he's essentially stuck in limbo for the forseeable future now while we did speak to air a float that's the airline that's operating those flights to have been a q but they said that he is not on any of the passenger lists for the coming few days we also did hear from the united states for example so far the u.s. has been using traditional diplomatic channels to try to get him back the americans can't actually ask russia to extradite him because there is no extradition treaty between the two countries they can ask the russians to for example expel snowden but president vladimir putin here and russia said that he is not willing to do that at this moment but we did also hear press. obama speak at

a press conference in senegal he said that he has not personally spoken to for example the chinese president or president putin about the snowden case sort of trying to downplay now taking a softer stance on this issue he said quote i'm not going to have the case of a suspect who we've been trying to extradite suddenly be elevated to the point where i've got to start doing wheeling and dealing and trading on a whole host of other issues and what he said is that the u.s. of course has major business deals with both russia and china and they're not really willing to jeopardize those in the hunt for that one man of course the reaction from the capitol hill in washington has been a lot more stringent i guess we should say that least one lawmaker threaten to put trade relations with ecuador in jeopardy over this case but so far the administration seems to be still determined to try to get snowden but not to the point of ruffling too many diplomatic feathers with the countries that it deals with at this point back to you marina moralising thank you very much for bringing

us more information on this and we'll of course be getting it to our viewers as soon as we get more on the case of snow and lucy coffin of their reporting outside sure medical airport. so russian human rights activists want to government to let snowden stay in the country and echo the thoughts of the or foreign colleagues and amnesty international saying the thirty year old has not committed any crime by exposing the vast global surveillance by the u.s. are just like here chefs he explains. well 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 putin's 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. such as supported us in the current situation russia has to do everything in its power to aid snowden he cites for those exact principles that the

us doubts but 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 to you come on 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 airport which leaves a lot of space for more twists and turns to this saga former officers of security

services describe the snowden as a gift to the intelligence they usually use for an 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. well it appears the u.k. is sweeping surveillance is going beyond the g c h q phone and online eavesdropping special police unit has reportedly been scanning what british citizens are posting online and social networks despite the fact all phase we're going to twitter users are actually choosing to make their data public the news has major concerns among privacy groups r.t. sarah first explains. we know when 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 soccer meant its social media intelligence and they've been working as a lead to the team of around seventeen offices combing through this information recently we've been looking at the rise for example of the number of arrests the 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 prism 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 we'll talk more to us about this i'm joined by big brother what is he 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 there is being constantly monitored i think also they could very importantly prison of course you've got information being gathered should be hidden from the world the team is private but of course the sort commitment 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 when not saying that because shouldn't take place what we're saying is that is it necessary as a proportion it 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 huge storm at the moment the u.s. and u.k. . intelligence gathering after the revelations about. minutes being described as prisons and little brother is it that bad well i think for a lot of people it will be about i mean when we come down to the very small nuances

of a it's you know it's all private information and what we perceive to be private and you know we all know the digital world is and christian and things that we know it isn't actually as private as we'd like it to be in so we do feel like on a day state basis there should be some safeguards in place for people to go around in and complete freedom unless we do something wrong in the same should be put forward in terms of social media. to get about the information about. the certainly going to be a cause the further discussion as is still rage is of course on the back of those revelations of prism meanwhile it appears the revelations over the u.k.'s massive snooping into tidies have failed to embarrass the british government the latest public spending review is promising the intelligence services and now they're one hundred million pounds annually from twenty fifteen and i see my five and a listening facility g c h q will get a three point four percent budget rice and that's more than any other department

including the health service and education r t contributor option returns he says the attempt to justify the move by referring to the terror threat 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 then trying to spin this as something to do with the willage 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 covered on this channel that itself was an m i five operation in the sense that the s.a.'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 what 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 foreign

aid budget which so many farias and strange operations also occur in the name of foreign aid to help other countries. while the spy the cost cutting drive being in full swing the e.u. is trying to mobilize billions to tackle youth unemployment is now at the top of the agenda for you were absolutely uterus and is about averting a catastrophe and saving a generation more and that shortly here on our team. they were ready to do anything for their country to try to love their country more than yourself if you joined the military or any other reason that you're probably not going to have a good day they were in the state now they live remembering that which is impossible to get rid of. the war. but i'll ever good people get

hurt. but i've heard good people them to be silent. but would prefer not to be sometimes i feel like. i should have died over there are. those. i saw some people who died. there is cheaper than paid. on our. welcome back this is our egypt's military has brought in troop reinforcements near

a major egyptian cities and the country seen clashes between supporters and opponents of the president with a major protests expected on sunday two people were killed and hundreds injured in street fighting as the islamist leader was preparing for a national address marking his first year in power well that's a meadow a wave of fresh calls for president morsi to step down as artie's beltre reports. on the store is a non delta city this a few hours drive from the capital to have been put on the street battles between those in support of the president and those the against the president said the addiction police are desperately trying to contain the violence using tear gas they have been reports all for bird shot but it is related weapons and fire bombs in this clash it started with no support to insult them is a brotherhood criminal from which the president hails from decided to have a protest off the afternoon press i'm witnessing so so i can fix reports said i the look cool residents attacked said the most of

a good group all thugs who are against the islamist group the president mohamed morsi in his speech did little to assuage fears he did admit that the year has been very tough for the presidency and that he himself had made mistakes although he failed to go into the details of these mistakes he also controversy once again praised the police in his speech at the police of the touristy brutal here in egypt we've seen an increase in amount of violence from the security forces over the course of the last year resulting in many deaths people here in the presidency praising the security forces is not something the very pleased with what people are really worried is that if the buy in chicago thing this is going on in the week that it will only get worse in the in the lead up to the anniversary protests and continue with the deaths on the horizon. well if you missed something on air you get always catch up on our headlines and much more online here's a quick look out was there for you. swallow by flames a huge blaze and cattle standing goals and eight story building after

a massive get a stinker blast check out this fire breathing video on our you tube channel. and another like away on line despair over going time of day literally knows no limits that's after it and i get no bird house or it was arrested after she climbed over a white house fans for more details had to calm. the story number of jobless you have put on high alert fearing a whole generation could and up without ever gaining any employment they've just struck a deal on the much debated seven year budget at a summit in brussels and there are set to focus on finding a plan to help youngsters get a job killed him looks at the situation. the last generation that is how everyone is referring to the five point six million unemployed young people in europe an overall use jobless rate of twenty three percent in greece and spain the situation

is even worse with youth unemployment over fifty percent of all these numbers sound pretty bad the consequences are even worse young people who have studied hard to achieve the best grades yet don't get to reap the benefits of such dedication left feeling resentful towards their countries which can ultimately result in social unrest especially as these energetic young people are not so afraid of tear gas and stun grenades 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 contribution to the growth of their economies puts pressure on the whole financial system so what is being done to avoid total mayhem on the streets and the shattering of young people's ambition 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 it but while the european financial crisis is still in full swing the

question is where exactly is this cash coming from or leaders 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 are not 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 with the u.s. president on a weeklong visit to africa there's controversy over the goals of his trip barack obama was once hailed a hero by many africans but that popularity has slid away over military operations

and cuts eight with a tour now being touted as an attempt to strengthen ties as art is going into each account before it's some seed 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 new drone basis popping up on the african continent in countries whose governments we see aid from the u.s. in one form or another we hear about the u.s. army in 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 say you when we poor found us train troops in congo guilty of mass rape and other atrocities 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 by you know me as they may say that they are there to enhance the african states national security capacity but we know from the history of the united states that they do not. regard their foreign policy there's no real strategic interest for the united states. or maintaining a relationship. at the same time to edge out the people's republic of

china which is. just over the last. two years that china has become the number one. trading partner of the african union africa is a new rich continent the taste 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 azikiwe said about that many of the countries in west africa a large oil producer for example nigeria which is the largest u.s. importer. of oil into the united states so massacre in east africa there have been huge findings. of natural gas. 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 african continent so backlash in the form of extremism on the one end of the scale and ten jubal 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 partner up with the governments in washington i'm going to check up. now israel has approved the construction of sixty nine new housing units in east jerusalem authorities say the move is simply to ease overcrowding in the area but the plan could sward washington's push to revive peace talks between palestine and israel and make things difficult for us secretary of state john kerry he is meeting leaders from both sides later today in an attempt to renew negotiations which broke down three years ago and more than half a million israelis now live on land that palestinians consider their territory you

know going settlement construction is deemed illegal under international law. while palestinians face off against israel they have found a friend in qatar the tiny gulf state is lavishing millions of dollars on rebuilding the territory while encouraging the ruling hamas group to emerge from international isolation but our disposal your reports it's not all as selfless as it seems. israel destroys and qatar rebuilds that's the message in gaza where streets damaged by israeli tanks are now being repaved with khatami many . contrast out to twenty one projects of the same time so there are a lot of new jobs it's simple mathematics give people food homes and cash and they'll support you no matter what. israel is worried by the growing relationship between cantarell and hamas israel is concerned because it is strengthening hamas

and hamas is getting more military and political power projects like this are part of the four hundred million dollars pledged by the emir of qatar last october it was the biggest injection of reconstruction aid for gaza after parts of it were devastated during the last wars with israel for years the tiny arabian gulf nation has supported the palestinians but observers took note when she hunted been felafel tiny chose to visit gaza and not the palestinian leadership in the west bank he was also the first head of state to visit the strip since her most branded terrorist by israel took over six years ago the manning mostly to support the population in order to gain back their loyalty to continue serving miss those from their backyards including israel lawyers in this his radio civil rights organization devote their time to going off to states they came to sponsor terrorism qatar is right up there five years ago after the last israel lebanon war they bought

a civil lawsuit against the qatari funded al jazeera channel what those there was doing is they're broadcasting live from the places where the risk they were falling and that they were aiming the hizbollah so more accurately point out their missile for them and they call them marketeers freedom fighters so there was no doubt. no question at that as there was that then to live with the calls of his but for such a small country qatar yield significant financial and political global count it was qatar wheels that financed and promoted to the islamist opposition forces that overthrew moma gadhafi in libya backed the muslim brotherhood in egypt and is now bankrolling the free syrian army in syria. we see that catalogs trying to control the region we saw this in libya and egypt and of course in syria cats are his goals qatar is part of

a plan that wants to change the arab world but not towards democracy in the arab profits because cats are itself is not a democracy and people there have no freedom. and from the sidelines the u.s. commie watch is keeping mum because of its basted interests in khatam the military base oil and defense corporation it's not that the israelis unaware of what is happening across the border they know full well khatami's financing and israel activities white under their noses but with the us keeping quiet prime minister netanyahu doesn't really have anyone to complain to point to see on t.v. tel aviv and next in our team the soldiers who hide the horrors of war at the bottom of the glass with alcohol.

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 discussed thing but it may also be lethal because patients at that hospital in chicago are three times more likely to die. then patients at other hospitals from tracheotomy 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. just for headaches this is for sleep this is a tranquilizer too if i have any episodes xanax because the blackout substances. struck me kind of which is present nightmare because. i can't get off of it. and

build it is kind of to use it for me because sometimes i have episodes where i won't be able to. i think something will trigger me and which i'll just keep on working and working and working or live. like seventy two hours just so exhausted. and i can take him because. i'm so out or. something i mean what i go by different that you gave me i could have made a lot more money out of it i wanted to i just it depends on what we're doing and to . be kept saying i knew that there were rebuilding iraq your words into little rock . i was kind of sick of hearing c.n.n. and fox news like bark each other about one. of those i know the horrible things they are i mean i kind of way to see it for myself you know.

it was a teenager nineteen in basic training. like halfway through my tour i told my unit that i was willing to kill any any human beings. start major said. ask him this one question are you willing to do your job if i was a say no it would have been like oh this guy's being insubordinate throw in jail you know i mean so like i came to conclusion like they're basically enslaving me here i have to say yes you know i'm actually walking the town with a rifle but instead of using the camera. this is one of the girls and it's her town. one boy they don't know where the other bullet him.
