ecuador says it can't grant asylum to the whistleblower on the run edward snowden while he's not on its soil the n.s.a. leaker remains holed up in a moscow airport. on the heels of snowden's revelations over britain's huge phone and online tapping it turns out u.k. police are secretly monitoring the social networks on a daily basis. egypt's military bracing itself for mass rallies but the opposition are readying to take to the streets to vent anger at president morsi who's about to mark his first year in the top job. eleven pm in moscow i'm good to have you with us here on r t our top story ecuador

says there are obstacles in granting asylum to whistleblower edward snowden the development revealed in a press conference by the country's government in quito snowden himself remains somewhere in the transit zone of moscow's sheremetyevo airport. the latest from outside. 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 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 tola about this issue at

a press conference earlier thursday and here's what she had to say the kodori in government has not authorized and has 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 the afghan 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 been a q but they said that he is not on any of the passenger lists for the coming few days noting 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 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 no i'm not going to be scrambling jets. to get a. twenty nine year old. 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. well this

document here initially cause some confusion over snowden's asylum status it appears to be paperwork granting the n.s.a. whistleblower safe passage to ecuador the ecuadorian government explain the initial confusion over whether or not it was a real document they said it was issued by a government employee but has no legal power because it wasn't authorized by authorities now we know that there are problems with snowden's asylum status because he's on ecuadorian territory russian human rights activists want the government to let snowden stay in the country they have echo the thoughts of their foreign colleagues at amnesty international saying the thirty year old hasn't committed any crime by exposing a vast global surveillance project or he's alexei or shows he has more. 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 will complete his decision not to extradite him to the summer and say absolutely still outraged by washington street window of the

whistleblower the oscar more school to take more than just a neutral stand but as such she says this is what's in the current situation russia has to do everything in its power to aid snowden he thought it was those exact principles that the us down but in fact transgression yet he had and i think russia should now act according to the law but to not let the man be led like a lamb to slaughter. the head of russia's anti-corruption committee went even further can you come on of says he's ready to write a letter to putin urging him to keep snowden in russia is it on the. screen 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 described this 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. reporting from moscow it appears the u.k. sweeping intelligence is going be on the phone and eavesdropping a special police unit has allegedly been scanning the british citizens post online and social networks despite the fact all facebook and twitter users are actually choosing to make much of their data public the news has sparked major concerns among privacy advocates are more. we know when 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 it 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 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 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. and 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 there is being constantly monitored i think also they could very importantly prison of course you've got information being at the 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 is not 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 often the revelations about. being described as prisons

a little is it not that well i think for a lot of people it will be that i mean when you come down to the 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 an encryption and 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 that 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 the met police have in that city go back to get about the information about. the going to be closed the further discussion about this still rage is of course on the back of the revelations of prison if you missed something on air you can always catch up on our headlines and much more online here's what's a click away right now. swallowed by flames a huge blaze in kazakhstan and also

reports. corteen minutes past the hour the soaring number of jobless you with leaders on high alert fearing a generation could end up without ever gaining employment it just struck a deal on

a much debated seven year budget at a summit in brussels are set to focus on finding a plan to help get the youngsters in jobs artie's katie pilbeam takes a look. 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 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 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 project 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. six billion euros the use planning to spend on training young people is not enough to fix the worrying trend is dr barbara coleman president of the hyatt institute in vienna explains she says europe's rigid labor laws need a major overhaul you have to do something with these young kids on the street for example in greece they understand that things have been have gotten wrong in this country they know that they need 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 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 take ten no right

measures taken that really out it could get there is a turning now to some other stories making headlines across the globe u.s. prosecutors have announced indictments against the surviving suspect in the boston bombing terror attack. officially charged on thirty counts including the deaths of four people in using a weapon of mass destruction the nineteen year old's been in custody since police captured him outside boston following the end of a long manhunt at the end of april he and his late brother are suspected of planting two homemade bombs near the finish line of the boston marathon. how the more than a dozen wounded in kosovo after police clash with demonstrators who gathered outside the parliament they've been i gritted m.p.'s inside the building for provoking for approving an brokered agreement on creating normal ties with neighboring serbia at least seventy arrests made following fierce fighting with security forces serbia lost control of the over the territory more than a decade ago during the bloody yugoslav war. in brazil

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 doesn't 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 nothing 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. few years that china has become the number one. trading partner of the african union in africa is an extremely rich continent to chase but terry's 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 produces for example marriage area which is the largest. importer. of oil into the united states. in east africa they have been a huge find a. natural gas. in 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 the governments in washington i'm going to check out israel's approve 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 washington's push to revive peace talks between israel and palestinians and make things difficult for the u.s. secretary of state john kerry was meeting leaders from both sides today in an attempt to restart negotiations that broke down three years ago more than half a million israelis now live on land palestinians consider their territory going settlement construction is deemed illegal under international law while palestinians face off against israel they are founded ally in the tiny gulf state

lavishing millions of dollars on rebuilding the territory while encouraging ruling hamas a group to emerge from international isolation but as our policy reports it may not be may not be all of 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 in 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 highly felt 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 loyalty to continue serving missiles from their backyards including 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 i do say i was doing is they're broadcasting live from the places where the missiles were falling

and i bet they were aiming to hizbollah so more accurately point out their missile for the next time they called the marketeers freedom fighters so there was no doubt no question that that as there was identified with a cause or has been 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 bankrolling the free syrian army in syria. we see that cats are trying to control the region we saw this in libya and egypt and of course in syria qatar has 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.

calmly watches keeping mum because of its vested interests in qatar the outdated military base oil and defense cooperation it's not that the israelis are unaware of what is happening across the border they know full well qatar is financing the anti israel activities right under their noses but with the us keeping quiet prime minister netanyahu doesn't really have anyone to complain to policy r.t. tel aviv. kaiser report coming up next 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 tracheotomies 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 and 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 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. welcome to the kaiser report on max kaiser l o l. r o f l m a o hahaha yes banks are officially in it for the locals and oh i how you. there have got the laws banks are is rolling around on the floor laughing their behinds off yes the same from which they are plucking the
