outrage in the e.u. as the latest revelations by edward snowden point to ramp and u.s. spying on european institutions with berlin someone in the us ambassador for explanations. for how stores in egypt ransacked the half waters of the ruling muslim brotherhood in cairo after millions turned out to demand president morsi renounced power by tuesday. and genetically modified diet for you or britain urges the e.u. to ease restrictions on g.m. products despite concerns that the government is treating people as guinea pigs.

and watching r.t. coming to you live from the russian capital marina joshua in the studio welcome to the program now in the fallout from the latest leaks by edward snowden germany has summoned the u.s. ambassador for explanations on the leaks published in the german media france has also called on the u.s. to immediately stop spying newsroom chief of video agency ruptly lazy felon reports from the german capital. there has so far been no comment from the u.s. in response to this latest round of revelations that have been published over the weekend by dust spiegel which revealed that. half a billion communications including phone calls text messages and e-mails monitored under the n.s.a. program each month and as in germany alone now the german justice minister has been absolutely livid she has described the tactics of the n.s.a. is similar to the tactics used in the cold war the german chancellor angela merkel

has said that she feels alienated which you know is obviously very curious as to why germany has been targeted by the n.s.a. program the n.s.a. have stated that there's very few countries which have been excluded from their program including the united kingdom new zealand australia and canada so questions are being asked the why germany has been specified as a target and some official in germany commented that of course the us is known for costing a wide net you know target whoever they want under the war on terror so our german citizens now also being treated as terrorists under this and i say programs of course it's not just germany that is reeling from these latest revelations there's been an outrage across europe including from the belgian pm who described this as these latest revelations is absolutely unacceptable there's been outrage from

france who has demanded answers immediately so it's not just the u.s. and german relations but indeed the entire trends that line thick relationship between europe and the united states that is under threat and the sheer scope of america's surveillance against europe has prompted analysts to look for motives was what intelligence experts are saying it's all down to industrial espionage. this is spying for economical reasons mainly it is economical espionage is the money to steal national secrets from companies to to destroy jobs and to import jobs to their own countries so what the americans like to do is to destroy jobs in countries like germany and countries like france but it is a reality about what we do with the public is just to say it is the chinese to spy for economical reasons it's a russian. or whatever but it really of the biggest enemy obviously

choose the united states is the united kingdom so it's elyse spying against. how meanwhile edward snowden could finally get out of his asylum limbo with venezuela's new president nicolas maduro is a tanning a gas summit and moscow the leader of the world's most oil rich nation has hinted that if snowden requested he could be given asylum by caracas well for more on this we're joined by art he's a bore piskun off your thanks so much for joining us so it seems like snowden's fate could be decided soon and. well the venezuelan president nicolas maduro is set to spend to be in the russian capital he's attending this massive gas suppliers summit but apart from that he's also widely expected to get engaged in edward snowden's case since earlier the venezuelan president himself said that there's a great chance that snowden could get political asylum in his country if he

officially asked for it in the meantime the former n.s.a. contractor has already asked for political asylum ecuador they're now discussing this request but there is speculation that the question is still very far from have been solved and it's causing lots of debate since ecuador has already granted. political asylum was wanted by the u.s. and it seems this whole story around edward snowden is creating even more problems for ecuador relations with washington a putting two week you leaks the n.s.a. may have even started intercepting ecuador's government telecommunications so perhaps the country is currently under a lot of pressure from washington right now actually the chances of getting political asylum in venice are well are much higher than getting it in ecuador and now the former n.s.a. contractor arrived to the transit zone of airport in moscow around

a week ago from hong kong and so far it's believed that that's where he's been this entire time he does have an invalid american passport and washington has been asking for his extradition. thanks very much for this update there. well nicolas maduro will be joining the leaders of some of the world's top gas producing nations in moscow on monday looking at ways to keep global energy supplies stable supply and demand as he of the summit at a time when the controversial practice of fracking is upsetting markets and the environment argues katie pilgrim will have more on that a little later. at the cairo headquarters a vigil muslim brotherhood lies in tatters after an onslaught by an angry mob at least sixteen people died in clashes as millions of outrage citizens flooded into the streets across the nation demanding president morsi down by tuesday or face

a mass rebellion artie's belcher reports from the egyptian capital. violent clashes erupted between supporters and opponents of the president mohamed morsi during a day of nationwide massive protests against the president on the first anniversary of his inauguration in office what happened last night was several hundred armed groups attacked the headquarters of the muslim brotherhood that the president. with monitor and rocks this was quite significant as this is the main building the main headquarters of this security forces at the time were not guarding the building they stepped in a few hours later attempting to clear the clashes with take us they were unsuccessful on sunday we saw massive dissent against the president they were nationwide protests in all the governorates including here in the capital where we people were saying this is the largest expression of dissent from the biggest protests they've seen since said the january twenty five revolution the opposition

say they are not going to back down president mohamed morsi must leave he's incapable of running the country they issued an ultimatum yesterday saying that unless he steps down by choose to fight pm they will instigate massive acts of civil disobedience across the country speaking to protesters yesterday told me that really nothing has changed in egypt over the course of the last year during president knows she's ruled this massive unemployment rate is a worsening fuel and water crisis is massive shortages this electricity outages in addition to a bread crisis on the horizon rights groups have released a number of reports said during the story of the president morsi surprise time in office saying that human rights abuses were rampant torture is still in their make amongst the police force people are saying is the demands that they came to the streets over to you know obviously go in a generation to five evolution have not been on set and the president is not making any changes in support of the president he does have a support base however maintain that he was democratically elected they say that he

cannot be ousted by these means by these what they call illegal means they were referred to particularly the grassroots campaign who are behind sunday's. protests call tomatoes or rebel to save collected twenty two million signatures calling for the ouster of president those who support the president say this is an illegal action that they are a thug group the moment the islamist groups who are behind the president say they will stay put and protect their votes and the president and the president saying that he must stay in office this is making people very fearful that we're going to see further violence on the horizon as these two groups refused to meet and have dialogue the army has been called to step in they for their part said that they don't want to get involved in politics however should the situation descend into what they what the defense minister calls a dark tabone tunnel of civil unrest they will have to come to the streets so it's very tense atmosphere here in egypt in particular in the capital as this belief this political stalemate continues neil clark and journalist focusing on the middle

east thanks danger of plunging into civil war if the president continues to turn a blind eye to the overwhelming public discontent he can't stay on the clear that the people had moved on and you know he's been a total disaster the year about he's broken every single progress that he made when he was elected and it's time for him to go if he doesn't go i think civil war could happen because you know people are extremely angry and they're angry about what happened in twenty eleven because they want to get a good turn into twenty seven they didn't just want to go right to your place by another us western part of what's happened there hasn't been any real changes to the economy people are getting poorer unemployment is going up and up and up and people want real change they're not going to be content with just another us student in cairo. egypt as long as government being backed by washington comes in the wake of president obama's tour of africa in cross star coming up at four pm g.m.t. peter lavelle's gas debate that's the focus of the obama administration matches the

true needs of the troubled continent. what kind of future does this man but into the world we don't want to use money we want a world where the model very views that are going to be able to we be able to have a a world which is peaceful we are going to be able to have a world where we can have with children being safe now to morrow obama can come with his checkbook but if he doesn't like one of my friends what he can do we send it don't keep him and kill everybody i don't mean it's been a strategy that hasn't focused on addressing the really serious and tough issues across the region but looking at leaders has a what he calls a young african leadership initiative is focused think has been misplaced.

wealthy british style its stock price hikes little.

guy. markets. find out what's really happening to the global economy for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines. comes a report on. welcome back you're watching r.t. live from moscow and the u.k. is calling on the e.u. to embrace genetically modified food and the tide regulations on it britain's environment secretary claims that g.m. farming is actually safer than many of the alternatives and beneficial for consumers as well as farmers but health organizations and activists are voicing strong objections while g.m. profits and golf a wide range of foods from corn and rice to chocolate me to milk monsanto an american multinational corporation owns around ninety percent of all modified seeds causing global controversy over its domination of the market its accused of

crushing small businesses and farming enterprises even driving some farmers to suicide that's as anti g.m. activists warn the modified food may be dad allergies liver and immune system problems these are just a few of the reported side effects are boyko delve deeper into the issue. it's controversial but britain's environment secretary says that the public should embrace genetically modified food is a hard sell the campaign is say it's dangerous to human health whereas the scientific community supports the technology and if it is a safe as they and the government to shore it is and the argument for g.m. food is quite compelling it would allow farmers to grow crops in tough conditions and thus help to feed hungry mouths around the world the u.s. and brazil already must have produces of the stuff and the british government says the u.k. shouldn't be getting left behind let's talk more about this i'm joined by dr robert

he's the founder of the alliance for natural health which campaigns against g.m. foods. there are a billion hungry mouths in the world and we're being told that this technology is safe shouldn't we embrace it in that case well if you look at all the real developments in raising the yields it hasn't actually occurred through g.m. it's because for conventional breeding practices some of the greatest success stories even in the last five years have been related to traditional propagation techniques we've got to remember that the safety issues divided between both health effects and environmental effects and we know that the european authorities have probably one of the most comprehensive evaluation systems compared with other parts of the world but only two crops have actually got through the net for cultivation over fifty have been approved for consumption but of course the majority of it is given to animals and not to humans what are the risks in this case how is it dangerous to human health people use the fact that there's been a lot of g.m.

produced of course a large amount of it going to animals but the u.s. population has been eating a lot of g.m. corner a lot of g.m. soy and they say well we can't see the effect we believe looking at humans as guinea pigs is not a great way of doing it because technically given the fact that we're only looking at really one or two generations of exposure why is the government so keen to develop this technology in that case and who would be bent. getting from it if they did but of course there are about a half a dozen companies that are the key players in this areas of which monsanto is the biggest and they've been putting huge pressure on governments and of course if you look at the concerns that for example the four hundred scientists involved in the big un study i started was recent two thousand and eight that said g.m. has no role to play in feeding the poverty in the developing world they're also saying that the biggest problem is concentrating the agricultural resource and particularly seed supply in the hands of a few companies and these companies have

a lot of sway with the major governments in the world including the u.k. government many thanks for your comments was one environmental group said the british government's attempt to get g.m. food back on the menu is like flogging a dead horse and despite any of the scientific arguments for it one thing that you can tell you with is that g.m. food just doesn't have a good reputation a survey last month showed that only twenty one percent of the u.k. population supports the technology. r.t. london now the us claims it's in control of where the arms could stand to syrian rebels are going to end up reports leaked earlier from the cia suggest that it's about to start funneling having weapons to rebel fighters but as advantaged account or reports there is concern that was the american political lead that extremist groups could be the ones to benefit. as war torn syria braces for an influx of u.s. arms some u.s. politicians ask whether president obama has carried out background checks on syrian

rebels before giving them weapons this is a tweet from senator ted cruz and it's a snarky comment given president obama's push for more stringent rules for gun and here in the united states as well flooding syria with weapons the administration's standards may be quite different from those applied at home the obama administration claims it's familiar with the backgrounds of those the u.s. is arming in syria there are greater guarantees now that the weapons are being transferred to moderates and to directly the syrian opposition but many ask how do you just heard me. moderate amid a bloody civil war where the opposition fight is riddled with horrifying executions scenes like the inevitability what happens is that. the more radical elements will have access to these weapons and that's and there's really no foolproof way of insuring against them the fear is that the libyan scenario is being set in motion

again this time in syria we as a result both the u.s. and nato intervention in libya the unleashing of a massive cache of weapons from libya both weapons that came from the west as well as weapons that were part of gadhafi is caches and then made their way across the borders into money to actually create havoc not only in mali put throughout the region u.s. politicians ability to do background checks on those who they backed has been compromised a number of times in the past whether it was with osama bin laden or with syrian kidnappers and criminals in senator mccain's photo album his office later issued a statement saying the senator did not know the rebels by their names when he agreed to take a photo with them it shows the utter confusion and. in the billet to determine who the good guys are and who the bad guys are the obama administration claims that it

decided to flood syria with more weapons because the u.s. has evidence that the syrian government has used chemical weapons the u.n. in the meantime says it has no proof as to who used chemical weapons in syria there are indications that chemical weapons went to turkey and into the hands of the oil ministry the united states in terms of looking at that you don't hear you hear people when the u.s. has ignited this one group in syria almost as a terrorist organization the rest of the syrian opposition criticize the u.s. for that that washington reversed its decision they were thankful for its insistence in fighting on their side and keeping that in mind one should ask are there any guarantees that those getting u.s. weapons in syria now will share america's values in washington i'm going to check out let's take a look at some other stories from around the world gratian became the twenty eight member of the european union sparking mass celebrations and festivities formerly

war torn state has gone through several years of tough and sometimes unpopular economic reforms to become a part of the e.u. though not joining the euro zone but mired in an ongoing recession and with rising unemployment there are widespread down it's over whether joining this sturdy head blog will actually bring any benefit. in hong kong souses have taken to the streets to denounce the city's chief executive people voice their discontent over his unpopular economic measures that have led to widening income gap and soaring property prices demonstrators also called for democratic reform so they can choose their own top representative instead of one picked by a mostly probing committee the annual rally comes on the sixteenth anniversary of the handover from britain. in the u.s. president obama has praised the nineteen firefighters killed while battling a wildfire that's been raging in the state of arizona the blaze raised through dry

brush and grass damaging buildings and forcing hundreds of residents in two towns to flee it's believed to have been started by a lightning strike in a forest spreading quickly and high winds. now the world's biggest gas producers are gathering in moscow to sift through the challenges facing the industry on the table financial troubles new technology and fracking details are now from artie's capel beam hi there katie so it seems like there is a lot of the play there yeah a lot indeed very much protecting the interests of the dominance of these members as well as the economic as well in these tough times particularly the euro zone technologies competing with the likes of shale gas and on top of all that looking after the environment to save plenty to chat about marina so what countries will be attending this writes about thirty members in toto move be able to see what counts are wrong nigeria that this way that you mentioned with egypt as well so plenty of

people coming and we've got them just here in the blue the these are the members and we do have the leaders from venezuela iran and vogue area coming to and with the or is just here these are the participants you've got norway just there up in the corner to all together this account. sixty two percent of the world's gas reserves so right now they do have the dominance but it's all about keeping it marina well as we can see the countries that are originality are all resources there so what can we expect to come out of this meeting then right well i did mention shell gas i think that's definitely going to be on the agenda right now the u.s. is on the verge of becoming a huge natural gas export and that's because right now they have a fabulous a supply surplus which means prices are low whereas in europe they're going to pay five times more for your gas so the u.s. is thinking of shipping it over that we're making a bit of cash so this talk about shell gas and the process that is really eating

a lot of a lot of headlines at the moment because there's a lot of controversial opinions on it particular from vladimir putin himself that what you do if you drill deep into the ground deep deep deep you go as you can see just here and you find these shell gas rocks and what you do is you pump water at intense pressure not just water but sand and chemicals as well and what happens is you result in these fishes of little fishes that will be able to see and what happens is the gas goes into little bubbles through these fishes right here right up to the surface and that's how you get your shell gas but the contaminating part is do with the sand and the chemicals which can occur and that is a problem and environmentalists including a lot of putin have flagged this concern marina or i give you thanks very much indeed for talking us through what's on the agenda of these talks that was katie pilbeam and of course you can read more about the story on our website r.t. dot com well there's plenty more to catch up on including human rights watch so

it's signed on saudi arabia the organization urges a country to keep its hands off the internet after a jailed seven people for inciting protests on facebook. and and new military build up on the korean peninsula as a norris is reported to be beefing up its troops on the border warns out at r.t. dot com. coming up after the break r.t. invites you to unconventional form of see it or stay with us. south carolina is playing around with the idea of using shame plates which are license plates that can display special messages the department of motor vehicles would have complete access to all these plates and be able to display text on them

like suspended uninsured amber alert or stolen you know i actually don't mind the idea of using shame as a punishment i guess it could be a real deterrent to have drunken loser written over the license plate of someone who drinks and drives in fact drugged driving plates have been in place in some states for a while but the problem is that more often than not shame penalties aren't a v. punishment for a crime but just a bonus one in my native ohio you can go to jail for three to thirty days and have your license suspended for one to three years for driving which is a brutal punishment in a country where everyone drives to work you see people are already punished for drunk driving and in america when you pay your debt to society i.e. you get out of jail you're supposed to have a clean slate but the bonus license plate suspension and possible punishment plates make this a triple sentence ignoring the fact that the government will be able to practically display words on your person like a brand on cattle is bad enough but multiple punishments for the same crime seems

like a bit of a she think to me but that's just my opinion. because the play is called two arrows. is about a tribe that lives somewhere separately. in a jungle. and most women just like us they love and struggle for power is a life. the

this is the graduation play put on by fourth year students at the state's special institute of arts. students all of the students are either hearing impaired or completely deaf.

to the specific it's a special institute of arts where hearing impaired people study and get a higher education. but unfortunately quite often the students can't find a job after graduating that are good. enough shrewd if this is why our institute rector gave us an opportunity to start a theater where our graduates can perform. just drive one spot let's do a run through gently from start to finish let's check everything repeated smoothly and with gusto for the home she's asked to repeat the dance again the final one right.
