ecuador says it can grant asylum to the one on the run and whistleblower and word snowden while he's not on it so well the n.s.a. leaker remains holed up in a moscow airport. in the hills 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 egypt's military bracing itself for mass rallies with the opposition for perry to take to the streets to bandits anger at president morsi who's about to mark his first year in the top job.

this is coming to you live from moscow i'm marina joshie welcome to the program. ecuador says there are obstacles in granting asylum to whistleblower and word snowden the development was revealed in a press conference by the country's government in ecuadorian capital snowden himself remain somewhere in the transit zone of moscow's sheremetyevo airport lucy coffin of brings us the latest from outside the airport. 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 the bees 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 party do that without a passport good question the second problem force is there's now issues with ecuador in order to apply for asylum here portly needs to be an ecuadorian soil and

actually we did hear from the secretary of political affairs abedi told about this issue at a press conference earlier thursday and here's what she had to say the quote dorrian government has not authorized and has sort of safe passage documents allowing mr snowden to come to our country we also have not considered snowden's asylum request because he is not an ecuadorian territory as the law requires us. 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 what they are doing 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 we did speak to air a flow that's the airline that's operating those flights to have an acute but they said that he is not on any of the passenger lists for the coming few days knowing reportedly didn't 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 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 so far the u.s. has been using traditional diplomatic channels to try to get him back and 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 president 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 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. and russian human rights activists want the government to let snowden stay in the country if the thoughts of the are foreign colleagues at amnesty international saying the thirty year old has not committed any crime exposing the vast global surveillance by the us 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 put his decision not to extradite a 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 he says it's a good signal 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 transgress here yet. 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 could you come on of says he's ready to write a letter to putin urging him to keep snowden in russia is it a. sprint 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 is 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 x. to dieting snowden now would be like shooting oneself in the foot alexy russia reporting from moscow. on 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 and social networks the spy the fact that all facebook and twitter users are actually choosing to make their data public the news has sparked major concerns among privacy groups sara further explanations. but 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 state 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 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 in that what we're putting out those being constantly monitored i think also they can 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 this 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 you know the huge storm at the moment the u.s. and u.k. . intelligence gathering after the revelations about. being described as prisons a little is that. well i think for a lot of people it will be about i mean when you 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 and so we do feel like i'm in a state basis there should be some safeguards in place for people to go around in and complete freedom unless we do something wrong and the same should be put forward in terms of social media cover that to go to a stat about the information about. the cause the further discussion still rage is of course on the back of the revelations of prism well despite the cost cutting drive being in full swing the e.u. is trying to mobilize billions to tackle youth unemployment now at the top of the agenda for europe's leaders and is about averting at tasker fiancee having a generation more on that shortly here on our team. military has brought in troops reinforcements near major interruption cities the

back here with our tina the soaring number of jobless use have put leaders on high alert fearing a whole generation could end up without ever gaining any employment they have. 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 argues kay pilgrim looks at the situation the last generation that is how

everyone is referring to the five point six million unemployed young people in europe and 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 or 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 will you leaders agree 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 the six billion euros the e.u.

is planning to spand on training the youth is not enough to fix a worrying trend is dr barbara colm president of institute in vienna explains and she says you are rigid labor laws need a major overhaul. to do something with these young kids that are on the street for example in greece they understand that things have been have gone wrong in this country they know that they that the system needs to change definitely that structural reforms need to be made and they need to take their fate in their own hands the labor laws that we have seen in europe are just 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. well if you've missed something on the air you can always catch up on our headlines and much more

online and here's a quick look at what's there for you. swallowed by flames a huge blaze in cattle stand gulfs an eight story building after a massive gas tanker blast so check out this fire breathing video on our you tube channel. and another line despair over guantanamo bay literally knows no limits that's after anti-government protests earth was arrested after she climbed over a white house fans for more details had to r.t. dot com. now with the u.s. president on a weeklong visit to africa there is controversy over the goals of his trip barack obama was once hailed a hero by matty africans but the popularity has slid away over military operations and cuts to eight with a tour now being touted as an attempt to strengthen ties which is going to count 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 basis 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 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 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 in this should if 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. around human rights abuses committed by the nigerian military

a major us count to tear apart 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 doesn't really change their calculations i spoke with the editor of pan africa news wire i buy you me as a key way 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 nothing regard to their foreign policy if there is no real strategic interest for the united states. of course maintain 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 oil producer 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 tax net so backlash in the form of extremism on the one end of the scale and tangible benefits on the other that could be the delay . 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 portland up with the governments in washington i'm going to check on. some of the stories from around the world starting with brazil worry fresh wave of violence once again spilled into the streets as protesters clashed with riot police near a stadium hosting a converter ations cup football match violence was sparked after the hands of thousands tried to march to the ground but were blog by security forces opened fire with rubber bullets and tear gas the country has been engulfed by the largest anti-government protest in decades demanding better social services. the former south african when you're 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 finding

negotiations which broke down three years ago and more than half a million israelis now live on land that palestinians consider their territory the ongoing settlement construction is deemed illegal under international law. while palestinians face off against israel they have found a frand in qatar the tiny gulf state is lavishing millions of dollars in rebuilding the territory while encouraging the ruling hamas group to emerge from international isolation are just fall asleep here reports that it's not all as selfless as it seems israel destroys and could tom rebuilds that's the message in gaza where streets damaged by israeli tanks are now being repaved with khatami money. could cost up to twenty one projects at 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 hamas branded terrorists by israel took over six years ago the manning mostly to support the population in order to gain back their well yeah i would say to quantify when you're serving me it's those from their backyards into israel lawyers in this is 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 doctors there was doing is they're broadcasting live from the places where the missiles were falling and that they were aiming the hizbollah so more accurately pointed out their missile for them and they called them our tears freedom fighters so there was no doubt no question that as there was identified with the cause of hezbollah for such a small country qatar yield significant financial and political global count it was qatari reels that financed and promoted to the islamist opposition forces that overthrew moamar gaddafi in libya. the muslim brotherhood in egypt and is now banqueting the free syrian army in syria. we see that catalog is 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 on aware of what is happening across the border they know full well khatami's financing anti israel activities white under the 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. well europe today here on r t and up next everyone martin will be breaking the sad on gay marriage so stay with us.

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 hosp. from tracheotomies throughout the state now how did the f.b.i. find out about this with 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. to live on one hundred thirty three bucks a month for food i should try it because you know how fabulous i'm glad i got so

many i mean. i know that i've seen it really miss. the old story so personally. it's. the worst cheaper to live through the white house or for the. radio guy and for minestrone. what what we're about to produce never seen anything like this i'm telling. you guys i'm having martin and welcome to breaking the set so big crowds came together on this through the steps of the supreme court today his rulings came down on two important elements the same sex marriage debate the first is huge news for the l g b t community in the golden state of california after a five to four ruling that struck down proposition eight as unconstitutional a law that had originally banned gay marriage in this state the other ruling was in

regards to one element of the defense of marriage act or doma and in that five to four ruling the supreme court justices determined that this law which denied benefits to same sex marriages was also unconstitutional now as a result of these rulings all same sex marriages in the states that recognize it will be eligible for help tax and pension benefits that are already in. to their heterosexual counterparts the court's decision also prompted defense secretary chuck hagel to announce that quote benefits will be available to all military spouses regardless of sexual orientation as soon as possible guys this is fantastic news that a huge step in the right direction for the community and for humanity at large but there is still much more to be done the way the supreme court ruled it leaves some glaring problems first of all same sex marriage can still be banned in the thirty six states that have yet to rule on it secondly the benefits now allotted to same sex couples.
