moments after launching from the qassam drone now here you can see well on some of that yeah here you can see as horrific explosion is really now is the rocket split out of control descend to create it and the main part of the rocket just in dropped it into a massive fireball than it's split in two different pieces and lenses on to this inhabited area now of course we are talking about a massive accident and it is a rocket carrying three satellites and if you only did you bring up you bring up the point i mean not just these three global satellites but also the fact that ultimately this rocket is absolutely full to the brim of rocket fuel just a couple of seconds into launch it blasts off as you can see right here the trajectory goes a roy seconds and into the launch for you talk about the environmental impact to me do you know i mean so if you there are spectators within a kilometer or two all of the lord geria what can you tell us about absolutely

robbery we're are talking about a massive environmental impact from this accident just imagine this rocket here just a couple of seconds and so launching exploding so fast afterwards and it was filled with fuel now some experts say that in total it was carrying up to five hundred tons of fuel plus three said lies also fueled filled with the fuel but toxic fuel now of course this is getting a story it is really worried and as it could of course bring a lot of troubles onto the area and there are figures of possible evacuation of this inhabited area and we have already received reports is that some of the workers are the cost of the baikonur cosmodrome have already been evacuated from the area and the launchpad as you know of course you've been there is located a bit far away from the city itself but. we'll we are talking about

a massive environmental impact here absolutely we talk about what must be talks at rocket fuel and here we have the rocket again this startling footage here just a couple of seconds into storage this proton rocket here this russian rocket basically losing control and exploding ultimately though when you when you talk about of the history of the russian space program all in all for the most part it's very very successful however this is not the first time it's happened that was yes indeed the sad news is that it is not the first failure of this type of rocket now the problem has suffered a number of failures and the past two and a half years and i have to point out here two accidents now first back in two thousand ton there were as there was one failure also connected with three other navigation satellites and these navigation plays were lost they disintegrated into the pacific ocean now x. rays of blame at that time the fail if you will a miscalculation that prevents it the machine from reaching the orbit and of course

there was another failure back in two thousand and eleven here i'm talking about the failure of the progress rockets now when parts of the progress rockets reach the earth now witnesses said at that time that the explosion could be heard within one hundred kilometers so we are talking about another environmental impact here and course there were some fears that the i assess crew. would have to just start saving the supplies and we of course have to talk here about the some of the financial losses now the i would just give you some figures the single launch of the prophet prophet on rocket cost one hundred million dollars and now x. prison assuming that the failure of this project the one that we are seeing right now in this video cost to to hunt. million dollars and i don't really mean

a huge impact you know that's a that's a lot of money up in smoke right there but when it comes to i mean the early hours early days you know since this explosion happened this morning but one might imagine the blame game indeed has already begun we know investigators are on the scene the scene work we'll show you from here on out but again this breaking news media culture of the latest so we have a russian baikonur cosmodrome exploding basically with three glowing of satellites just seconds into the launch thank you for covering the breaking news for us here on the program. well for the meantime here on our edward snowden's quest for asylum appears to be hitting a wave of antipathy with nations apparently reluctant to get involved ecuador supporters been lukewarm at best and are russia says he can stay but only if he stops leaking information now as some of those leaks have indeed alienated even washington's closest allies that's now a top so nice and now way for more on snowden's i saw it for asylum and he said good morning to you he's been granted asylum he's still searching for asylum was it

looking good for him at this point or what. was now clear that snowden along with the help of wiki leaks has applied for asylum in some twenty one countries but it's becoming even more clear that more and more governments are very reluctant to reach out and help snowden president putin has said that snowden is welcome in russia if you quote stops harming our u.s. partners he added that russia will not be giving anyone off that they've never given anyone up and that the u.s. has never given anyone up to them pointing out that snowden needs to choose his final destination and go there the problem is that his options are certainly narrowing down he has made a statement after a long silence in which he says that he believes the u.s. is illegally pressuring other countries not to help them and it looks like if that's the case it's working. as you say if indeed washington is pressuring other countries to stay away from snowden it would appear that perhaps these charges of

asylum looking at rather point. they are slim the consensus seems to be worldwide mostly is that to avoid snowden really at all costs rafael correia which initially was sort of a ray of hope possibly for snowden has now said that it was a mistake that his country made it possible for snowden to travel from hong kong to moscow and that now he's russia's problem this is certainly a shift in tone that we heard just last week where he was speaking about how ecuador one band to u.s. pressure or blackmailing that they would do what they believe is right we don't know why but we do know that last thursday there was a phone call from the u.s. vice president joe biden to korea and since then his sentiment has certainly changed but let's remember that it's easy to forget in the midst of all of this scandal noise searching for snowden the question of where snowden will go to lose

understanding of the scale of what he's done the scale of these leaks they've already had repercussions worldwide shaken up geo politics and that mixed with possible pressure from the united states is not making it look good for him in terms of options of where he could go where he can possibly go in season needs and is still holed up at the ecuadorian embassy in london he has said that mr snowden is still in limbo the wiki leaks we'll continue to see how it pans out he's a nice they will and in fact i just want to point out at the beginning it looks like possibly he could share the same fate as julian assange and graham made it very clear that he doesn't see them as the same kind of figures in fact he said he wouldn't even want to meet snowden that he's a complicated guy and he's been a spy for a long time but was getting very much indeed laura downtown moscow thank you. norman solomon of the co-founder of the hands off snowden campaign he believes the n.s.a. whistleblower is accusations towards washington

a fully justified. the conduct of the u.s. government including statements made publicly by president obama and vice president biden from the very beginning several weeks ago intended to deprive edward snowden of basic rights innocent until proven guilty first amendment and the freedom of speech that he had isn't title to you as are all american citizens so i think the statement put out today by edward snowden is quite reasonable quite accurate and the united states from a tactical standpoint as the government has attempted to use the calling of those passport as a weapon and that's just wrong and president barack obama is in damage control mode after the latest bunch of damning revelations from edward snowden suggesting washington has been spying on its easy you allies obama said this is how things are

usually done when it comes to big politics and european states do exactly the same even the u.n. chief is trying to distance himself and the international body as artie's marina portnoy reports. united nations secretary general ban ki-moon is urging nations to protect the integrity of and diplomatic missions on their soil the u.n. chief's comments come amid allegations that the u.s. has been spying on the european union and other allies over port by german weekly der spiegel says that the national security agency bogged it the e.u.'s mission in washington d.c. and also popped into its computer system to be able to access e-mails and other internal documents the e.u. delegation at the united nations was reportedly subjected to similar surveillance citing classified documents leaked by n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden the weekly says that france italy and greece are among

the thirty eight u.s. surveillance targets now while the news has blindsided and shocked many european leaders u.s. president barack obama has downplayed the surveillance story saying that it's basically political protocol between friends they're going to be trying to understand the world better and what's going on in world capitals around the world . from sources that aren't available through the new york times or n.b.c. news. there that they're seeking additional insight beyond what's available through open sources. and. if that weren't the case then there'd be no use for an intelligence service. and i guarantee you that in european capitals there are people who are interested in if not what i had for breakfast at least what my talking points might be should i end

up meeting with their leaders but not everyone is seeing the circumstance so casually greece's foreign ministry says it will be investigating reports that its embassy in washington and the u.n. mission in new york were being spied on by the n.s.a. according to the guardian newspaper the eavesdropping the greek u.n. mission was known as well and the operation against its embassy was known as wanda and snowden well that's just the name of the american that leaked the surveillance information that the world is now talking about reporting from new york marine up or nine r.t. in the meantime the spy leak is after a massive trade agreement between the u.s. and the european union now hanging by a thread a german politician a member of the euro palm and rebecca hommes believes a lack of trust between the two policy could ultimately kill the deal. this is a huge spying attack from the united states help especially by the united kingdom

against against their friends in the european union we have certain instruments as least i as a green member of the european parliament see those instruments we have two agreements. in between us and also europe on data so this is this with agreement and also the agreement of. data in the international flights p n r we could stop those agreements and as green i really i am convinced that we should not open the negotiations on t.v. to this internet this united states trade agreement because this is also a very very sensitive when it comes to debt up there is a complete different concept of privacy and predicting citizen freedom

also in the european union compared to the united states. and the sheer scope of u.s. surveillance is leaving others no choice but to prepare themselves to fight it that's according to bolivia's president evo morales he visited r.t. spanish studios on monday as he was in the russian capital for this gas exporting countries for. i know that the empires have an espionage network and are constantly conspiring against the so-called developing countries and in particular against those which are rich in natural resources bolivia as well as venezuela and ecuador are exposed to constant surveillance from the us empire and when we hear the espionage claims we have to get well prepared to resist any sort of political military or cultural aggression so it with. suppliers need to stand up for themselves and hit back against custom was that was the takeaway message from moscow summit with the world's leading exporter it's gathered

to address the challenges facing the industry this story and so much more after a very quick break.

early hours of tuesday morning the tipton president finally responded to an ultimatum by the minute tree giving him food t. a our ways to fill the demands of the people otherwise they would intervene the president said that they admitted that he didn't know about the military ultimatum before it was released and slammed the language of the statement as confusing and fake he emphasized that he was working towards not sure national reconciliation and the greatest thing to come out of the journey to deprive evolution was a democratic civilian states however he is losing support within his own administration in the early hours of tuesday morning we had that there was the final resignation all the foreign minister this following school other resignations of his cabinet old saying they're in supports all the protests against the president meanwhile hundreds of thousands of people returned to the streets of egypt for a second day cooling for the ouster of morsy like those behind me at the presidential promise this happens across across the nation people off hearing there will be more

violence there are rumors abound saying that the military will intervene in the background of the continuing violence the military for their part obviously released this ultimatum to have said that they will not get involved in politics meanwhile is mr putin's all the president's are saying he was legitimately elected and therefore he can only be mery from office through the ballot box they are saying that many rejecting calls actions the missing mother had spokesperson for his part said that they will not have any elections and that the president must fulfill his four years in office this comes against the backdrop of a lot of violence towards the muslim brotherhood group number of their headquarters have been run sacked in firebombs and leading to several fatalities they have instead said they will have they will have their own counter protests across the country in the coming days and they've been calls for them to come to the streets so what we're seeing now is a divided egypt to be supporting the president maintaining that he is the just meant they will come to the streets and back in even though the military has really . controversy also makes him meanwhile the opposition figures are saying they won't

stop until so mostly is ousted crossways campaign the sequel to these protests that tomorrow the rebels they've said they will have must stage a civic disobedience if he stays in office so really we're seeing i continued good luck with the military getting involved as well. reporter belcher right there and a historian and middle east expert he says the army's decision to step into the conflict may well do more harm than good 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 see there isn't an obvious alternative to morsi there isn't a clear figurehead for the opposition so even if will suit was to resign it was nobody automatic to take his place not least because the constitutional court invalidated the elections to the parliament so that we haven't it is

a very very difficult situation as only one post 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 but whoever comes to power or if most of stays in power it's difficult to see that the basic problems of great poverty. was sources coming into the country terrible problems about paying for the import of vital resources including food those can easily be resolved whoever is in power. finally time for the r.c. wild update but for now for guantanamo bay inmates are suing the u.s. government put an end to force feeding on its pursuit of a say it's inhumane and torture arrest now this comes in the wake of a hunger strike which has now lasted five months and seen more than forty of the hundred six inmates taking part all being forced to eat or robert naiman from the just foreign policy think tank he believes the detainees shouldn't even be there in

the first place the u.s. court has been inconsistent granted in need some of these detainees have gotten. relief from you in a court room court. in each detainee to have a vs corpus or a. stew on their detention some of the detainees have been released as a result work out of the war who are sued are all uni's that have been cleared for transfer by the u.s. government so the u.s. government case for holding the. holding them at all is. certainly the u.s. government or force reading or even weaker none of us can say what's going to happen before but certainly a lot of war moves group of people that don't have a lot of options. and altie world update time straight to kabul we go where at

least ten people have been killed in an assault on a company of the afghan capital that a their job was to supply nato forces it was a car bomb that ripped through the entrance to the compound before five attackers started shooting all of them were killed along with four company employees anderson . and violent clashes with police have broken out again in brazil as protests against transport costs continue across the country rioting erupted in the northern city of menow was where vehicles were smashed and set on fire and truck drivers in sao paulo brazil's largest city while they blocked highways are still fuming over a highway toll prices on the soaring cost of diesel here. who are now the world's biggest gas producers have got to stop letting clients dictate policy and prices this coming from vladimir putin at a moscow energy summit attended by some of the world's largest gas producers a look at the various challenges facing the industry details on this now to katie

pill. 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 least 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 and talking to them while the members this thirteen in total

russia is joined by the likes of cats are wrong on the idea of venezuela and egypt where 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 and 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 on 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 talk about 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. warsaw sound and chemical as you can see it head i want this results in these fishes these fishes that you can see and through these for 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 environments are concerned because there is a risk that the warsaw groundwater can get contaminated from the process live from moscow this is our to you straight back to our breaking news story for you this hour an unmanned russian space rocket has crashed to earth a baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan just seconds after launch it is feared that around five hundred tons of toxic fuel could have spilled uncontaminated the area where the rocket came down because of a thorough use of evacuate evacuate all the personnel from the launching pad and are considering a possible evacuation all around the crash site and witnesses say the rocket which

was carrying three satellites meant for russia's glowing us global navigation system was out of control as soon as it took off it was back in two thousand and ten the same type of proton m. rocket also failed to put glow in our satellites into orbit and falling instead into the pacific ocean the incidents have led to a major overhaul in the russian space agency. all right up next here on our t.v. we have bite you to a rather unconventional form of theater i hope you can stay with us live from moscow it sounds. south carolina's playing around with the idea of using shane 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 the 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 or 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. the man. at the.
