president putin says the fugitive whistleblower edward snowden can stay in russia this if he stops harming washington amid speculation the whistleblower has. meanwhile e.u. leaders demand an explanation from their american ally on the latest revelations of note and as the u.s. remains tight lipped on the issue. live pictures from. the army and that country says that it will take matters into its own hands this if the government fails to address the people's demands within forty eight hours all

of this comes in the wake of massive countrywide demonstrations that have been calling for president mohamed morsi to step down. the civil war. and fears of an all out bloody conflict in the country intensify as the muslim brotherhood. after its headquarters were ransacked and torched by rioters. thanks for tuning in this evening i'm lucy catherine when you're watching our team we've got twenty four hour a day a live news and analysis for you when we continue with our breaking news president vladimir putin said that the n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden could stay in russia but with one condition. has been following the story so igor what is that precondition that mr putin has set out

well before we go further into the details of the story i have to say about russia's migration service has just rejected the rumors that edward snowden has asked russia for political asylum and this of the speculation began spreading shortly after the president said that edward snowden is a free man he could stay in any country he wanted including russia but only if he stopped working against the u.s. . but you know snowden the concern is i must really like him he's not a russian agent and he's not working for us the time we don't work with him he's a free live let me just if you want to fly some way he can be sure if he wants to stay here she's only one condition he has to stop his work that is undermining our american colleagues and strangers that may sound coming from me nationalist.

the president also added that at this point moscow is not planning to extradite mr snowden to the u.s. and he also said that he doesn't know whether or not. snowden could leave the country along with one of the delegations taking part in a. gas supplier summit in moscow since earlier the president of venezuela who is currently in the russian capital he said that there is a great chance noton could you see for a little asylum in his country if he asked for it in the meantime a snowden has already asked ecuador for political asylum there are still reviewing his the request but there is speculation that the decision is still very far from being made since it seems that ecuador is under a lot of pressure from washington like right now after intimate granted political asylum to julian bond earlier who is also wanted in washington and. order that the n.s.a. may have even started intercepting ecuador's government telecommunications after

the full story with edward snowden began so the chances of him receiving political asylum in venezuela are actually higher than in ecuador edward snowden just to remind you arrived to the transit zone or should i mean to an airport around a week ago from hong kong with an invalid american passport and the u.s. is still asking for his extradition arrival looks like more questions than answers in the story for now mr snowden remains in limbo r.t.c. group is going to thank you for that update. well germany has summoned to the american ambassador for explanations on the leaks that have been published in germany via revelations suggesting that the n.s.a. has spied on the e.u.'s internal computer networks to spawn a wave of outrage in berlin and the news room chief of artie's video agency ruptly lizzie failon reports 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 the us eagle which revealed that. half a billion communications including phone calls text messages and e-mails monitored 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 the program including the united kingdom new zealand australia and canada so questions are being off the wire germany has been specified as a target and some official in germany commented that of course the u.s. 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 outrage across europe so it's not just the u.s. and german relations but indeed the entire trends that relationship between europe and the united states that is under threat. meanwhile the e.u. leaders demands for an explanation from washington have gone unanswered thus far as maria has more from new york the obama administration is reportedly still evaluating the spying allegations but so far u.s. officials are not offering any apologies u.s. secretary of state john kerry briefly address the situation saying that it's not unusual for lots of nations to spy on one another insisting that every country in gauged in international affairs undertakes lots of activities to protect national

security but kerry refused to comment any further until he said he had all the facts and finds out precisely what the situation is what's clear is that washington will not be able to sweep this problem under the rug or downplay these latest revelations now last month many may remember when americans discover that the u.s. government was collecting the daily phone records of some one hundred million americans u.s. president barack obama defended the massive made it made a data grab by saying no one is listening to conversations it's highly doubtful that type of response is going to appease european leaders many of whom have already demanded immediate explanations for in light of the spying allegations the president of the european commission has a manual so has ordered a comprehensive security sweep of commission offices spokes person described the spying allegations as quote disturbing news obviously the united states has a huge diplomatic problem on its hands america's trust and credibility has arguably

been globally compromised and the fallout of this is only beginning look nobody would be happy to discover their friend their spouse is bugging their phones or reading their emails and text messages so imagine the betrayal and anger america's european allies are feeling and must have felt after reading reports that the land of the free has been spying on them. meanwhile the sheer scope of u.s. surveillance against europe has prompted analysts to look for motives with one intelligence expert saying that it's all down to industrial espionage this is spying for economical reasons mainly it is economical espionage as a might seem to steal national secrets from companies 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 that is a reality about what we do with the public is just to say hello it is the chinese

to spy for economical reasons because the russians it is south korea or whatever it reality of the biggest enemy of the united states is the united kingdom so it's elyse spying against alliance well just ahead here on our t.v. we examined the unrest in egypt which is going through a new spiral of protests with millions demanding the resignation of president mohamed morsi.

i would read that as questions for people in positions of power instead of speaking on their behalf and that's why you can find my show larry king now right here on our t.v. question more. wealthy british style it's time to. go. to. market so why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy is a report on our. welcome

back egypt's military has given politicians forty eight hours to meet the people's demands saying that the army will provide its own road map otherwise talk where square is flooded with a sea of anti-government protesters for a second day in a row this comes after the headquarters of the country's ruling muslim brotherhood was left in tatters by an angry mob at least sixteen people died on sunday in clashes as millions turned out for pro and anti-government demonstrations across the nation are days. drew has been following the developments for us in cairo. has said that most of his opposition has. greenidge mons all the people are the right things. for the future which basically means they will intervene this is something that people have been discussing a lot with some people on one side the military could. be coming could be quite.

likely could new clashes across all the government a government which had seen several people die on the other side people experience so that the military taking. charge of egypt after hosni mubarak stepped down. a transitional here during a lot of human rights violations number of attacks on the military people who are very unhappy military and. political actions which is. really what we're seeing at the very minute the crime to the president. at the moment because the people. resigned that he resigns or in forty. minutes he will take i really can't really see how there's any other option for him to carry forward. a speech this afternoon or this is expected to be a press conference a presidential contest to see what his reaction is. let's get more analysis

now on the stalemate in egypt or joined live by mark all men he is a historian and middle east expert sir thanks for taking the time to speak with us i want to begin with this announcement made by the army in egypt centrally coming out in support of the protesters how do you read into this of course it does raise perhaps fears of military intervention in a country that probably has had more than its fair share of that. you know it seems very much that the army is essentially trying to determine the future and that could well be a return to the past because what is very striking is that there isn't an obvious alternative to morsi there isn't a clear figurehead for the opposition so even if morsi was to resign there's nobody automatic to take his place not least because the constitutional court had invalidated the elections to the parliament so that we have been in egypt a very very difficult situation as only one person with any kind of democratic

legitimacy that's the president and his own legitimacy is now under attack from huge crowds in the streets and from the army and the police who refuse to defend himself and his party at the same time i just played out those advocate according to a statement read out by the army on state television they said that they had a responsibility to act because egypt's national security is facing quote grave danger i mean doesn't the country's military in fact happen responsibility to ensure security. of course egypt did a very difficult situation there is an internal security problem both there was violence on the streets last night in egypt there has been violence in sinai for instance repeatedly we've seen the terrible riots at football the so but also there is the basic problem that the economy is spiraling downward and the government has no real viable economic policy it's really living from hand to mouth from day to day so we'll see the company has failed to fulfill its election promises that it would turn the economy and it's also failed really to establish

a clear line of authoritarian state so yes in that sense the army is one of the few institutions in egypt that still functions and perhaps still has respect morsi has been in power for a year perhaps is a mistake to say that he could fix all of those issues within one hundred days but when you look at the demands of the protesters asking for mr morsi to step down given the divisions in the country and the fact that mr morsi has only won with fifty one percent of the vote if there is. a new election is there any guarantee that there won't be further chaos again given those divisions. i think this is the big problem isn't it that we have a situation where the constitutional court invalidated the elections to the parliamentary chambers the president's election was certainly disputed by his opponents it was a very narrow result a lot of the people who voted for him then seem no longer to be happy with him now that can happen in any democracy but of course egypt isn't just any democracy it's a country that is suffering a very severe economic crisis it's trying to create institutions of

a viable state and democratic system but instead it seems that the changes since the fall of mubarak are really spiraling to a situation out of control and that tends then to suggest that somebody with power real move to calm a step in but of course the generals may be popular with the crowd on the street today if they want to topple morsi but whoever comes to power or if morsi stays in power it's difficult to see that the basic problems of great poverty. her sources coming into the country terrible problems of paying for the import of vital resources including food those can easily be resolved whoever is an excellent point and i'm just curious i mean given the intense protests on the street given the military's comments what actions could you foresee mr morsi taking perhaps in order not to lose his grip on power very briefly. i think he's in a very difficult position if the generals really push he will fall what may be his best hope his would you like to replace him would you like to be the person who

took responsibility and carried the can and faced in six weeks or six months down the line people in huge numbers saying well you got rid of morsi a lot of youth are you haven't solved the problem so maybe saved by the fact that it's a very unenviable position to be in charge of it all right well thank you so much for a weighing in there mark all meant historian and middle east expert thank you for your time sir. thank you all right while the outrage at egypt's islamist government is being backed by washington pardon me it comes in the wake of president obama's tour of africa now and crosstalk coming up later today peter lavelle's guess debate the focus of the obama administration's matches whether that matches the you know what to say two and a great program coming right up. what you know a future that this man bring to the world we don't want to use money we want a world we. are going to be able to we be able to have

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 the book but if he doesn't like one of my friends what you can do is send it don't kill him and kill everybody it only has 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. is focused has been misplaced. moving on the u.k. is calling on the european union to embrace genetically modified foods and ease tight regulations on it now 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 to those claims now g.m.

products and golf a wide range of foods from corn and rice to chocolate milk even meat monsanto and american among multinational corporation grows around ninety percent of all those genetically modified seeds which has caused at least in the past global controversy especially over its domination of the market now it has been accused of crushing small businesses and farming enterprises even driving some farmers to suicide that is as anti g.m. activists warned that the modified food may be deadly allergies liver and immune system problems these are just a few of the reported side effects well arty's probably boyko has delved into the issue deeper and filed this report. 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. like 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 eels it hasn't actually occurred through g.m. it's occurred through 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 particularly 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 better. 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 us 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. meanwhile the world's largest gas producers are gathering here in moscow to sift through the challenges facing the industry on the table financial troubles new

technology as well as the controversial practice of cracking details now from artie's katie. russian president vladimir putin has just addressed the forum and he spoke about the need for thera formula to price gas so he was saying that it should be linked to oil because oil prices are standardised whereas gas prices are different for different countries now he also accuse other countries or presumably outside of the form of excluding russia from the market and that is the consumer that suffers at the end of the day he also spoke about the third energy package now to just explain this simply the producer of gas cannot be the seller as well so can't sell directly to the consumer so one company can't control the whole journey if you like now this is an e.u. pants but putin says is unfair on the consumer ultimately so. he spoke about the need to continue as well with protecting the environment as well supply empty to

talk about who's he talking to them while the members this thirteen in total russia is joined by the likes of cats are wrong nigeria venezuela and egypt there we've also got the leaders of iran and venezuela here in moscow right now in the orange here on the map you can see these are the observers combined the blue in the orange sixty two percent of the world's gas reserves that's what all of those countries are quite now this form is very timely because right now the u.s. is in the brink of becoming a major exporter of l.n.g. and that's thanks to the fracking led boom which has been the u.s. gas prices have collapsed at a time when prices in the rest of the world especially europe have jumped gas prices are actually five times higher in europe than in the u.s. so this were fracking the process of it right here so this is what it involves you have to dig deep down into the ground to get your shale rock and then what happens

here you can see it going sideways just here you plummet a very high pressure. water sound and chemicals you can see it here what this results in these fishes these fish is that you can see and through these through the fragments of the hole in the rock comes the bubbles of gas they make their way up to the surface and that's how you can extract your natural gas now environment's is our concern because there is a risk that the water the groundwater can get contaminated from the process around out of the sports news is up next with kate partridge there with us.
