worldwide news live from moscow this is the with me rule re sushi thank you for joining us today we start immediately with breaking news for you this hour edward snowden has withdrawn his application for asylum here in russia and the whistleblower was apparently unwilling to stop leaking damaging revelations about washington's surveillance habits which was one of moscow's conditions he still has requests for refuge of being considered by almost twenty other nations let's cross live now. joining us here on the program giving us the latest developments on this breaking news story so what exactly caused this turnaround do you think. well snowden has blatantly kind of said that he doesn't want to he won't take this

offer from russia. from putin to be welcomed here and gain asylum based on the conditions that led to put out on monday which were that he had to stop quote harming his u.s. counterparts. to meet their discoveries putin spoke person basically related it reiterated this saying that asylum could only be granted if he ceased his anti american activities obviously as we're reporting snowden refused these conditions now he's got also pointed out that snowden is a human rights activist and this means that extradite extradition at least to russia is impossible especially to countries that have the death penalty he pointed out really that russia never extradite it's only exchanges and he also highlighted that edward snowden never actually crossed into russian territory and that russian intelligence has not and does not work with edward snowden this twist what does it

mean it means that all options are becoming more and more limited for edward snowden russia was welcoming him he's put in his request for asylum to twenty one countries we already know that poland has denied him so the question now is is what choice is he going to make venezuela is still an option but now russia is out of the question because rather bizarre news he would basically seeing what originally started as many nations around the world welcoming him as some sort of golden child an emblem of freedom of speech and so on and so forth now although it looks like people are starting to close the doors to him where will be off to next do you think. it does indeed and it's interesting because like you said there's been a real change in tone from a lot of countries one of them is ecuador rafael correia last week saying he wouldn't bend to any kind of u.s. pressure this week much colder sentiments towards snowden basically saying that he thinks he's. he is a very complicated man and calling him

a spy ecuador is clearly not going to be. a place that will give him asylum some people thought the beginning that he would share the same fate as true you know found one of his last options it's looking is going to be venezuela nicolas maduro is here in moscow and he has already said that. asylum is a possibility for snowden but when asked today whether or not he could possibly fly back with him he did refuse to comment on that question so it's very unclear but what is standing out is that more and more countries are making it clear that they are very reluctant to reach out and help snowden russia was one of them that was willing to help but like we're reporting this breaking news he has officially himself withdrawn this application refusing these conditions put out by pledging we're divided on this breaking news story here on our way thank you. well in the meantime steve xining i spoke to a bit earlier he's from the china policy institute at the university of nottingham

he believes snowden's at risk of losing influence if indeed he stops what he started. the value of mr snow. and he's capacity to stay in the limelight depends on him being able to say that he's got more to say. and once he's got nothing to say then he's bad. for us. all how he will be down to it and americans will be dealing with him. was american. and all the other diplomatic language that will be involved in getting mr snowden to be a justice system in the u.s. so he has a vested interest in people. i know hearing here on r t that finland says that it did receive an asylum request from snowden but it cannot accepted as such an asylum request must be made from within the country president barack obama is in

a state of damage control 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 are doing exactly the same thing and even the u.n. chief is trying to distance himself and the entire international body. this report . united nations secretary general ban ki moon is urging nations to protect the integrity of 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 are 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 un mission in new york were being spied on by the n.s.a. according to the guardian newspaper the eavesdropping on the greek 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.t. . of a spy leak has left a massive trade agreement between the u.s. and the european union coming by a thread by german politician

a member of the european parliament rebecca holmes she believes a lack of trust between the two powers at the end of the day could 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. i really i am convinced that we should not open the negotiations on teeth to this

internet this united states trade agreement because this is also very very sensitive when it comes to daytime action there is a complete different concept of privacy and predicting citizen freedom also in the european union compared to the united states. on a visit to our spanish studios on monday bolivia's president evo morales told us that the sheer scope of u.s. surveillance it leaves others no choice but to prepare to fight it themselves. 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 live from moscow this is r.t. and russian space rocket has crashed to earth just seconds after launch it was carrying three satellites meant for russia's glow a nasa global navigation system let's talk about a further been a caution about is joining us a live in the studio you've been following this story very very closely exactly what happened well it wasn't the to rather shocking morning for those at the baikonur cosmodrome this this morning and as you can see here there is to be a russian prato on rocket which was carrying three golan asset lights now it went out of control moments into lines and then the main part of the rocket just to wrap it into a massive fireball and then the smaller parts of the rocket just crashed onto and then habitat's area so clearly it was a massive accident and surely it would be followed by some environmental impact as wow when you talk about an environment variable in part also i suppose the basic

risk to human safety you talk about the baikonur cosmodrome if you will where the spectators stand it's about two or so kilometers away from the launch pad a good safe distance however with a rocket that shooting up into into the sky at a very very high speed exploding during the launch what kind of dangers does it pose well it a post some dangerous of course and experts say that in total it was carrying over six hundred tons of fuel not to mention of course the toxic fuel and the sad lies that it was carrying together whether it now but while reaching the earth the fuel most t.v. . but still it creates this cloud of dangerous pollutants now that information of course was getting the story it is quite worried and there were even fears of a possible evacuation as clearly it is a troubling and well i mean we know the latest reports are from the baikonur cosmodrome down the cause extent the weather is clear there are no high winds of the bombers there's no concern right now of some sort of

a toxic pollutant cloud disposing over the area but when it comes to the russian space program typically it's used to a big line of successes however when it comes to this proton rocket this failure is not the first time it's happened andy said that is and not as of. this type a rocket now the program has suffered a number of failures in the past two and a half years now in particular back in two thousand and another three navigation satellites were lost in the pacific ocean due to the rocket launch failure than in two thousand and eleven here i'm talking about the failure of that progress rocket so clearly some failures but they all come with huge financial losses now the launch rockets cost somewhere around one hundred million dollars an expert say that the failure of it could head up to two hundred million dollars and last and these are huge bigger that's why that is a hefty price tag midian or one hundred million dollars launch when you talk about

the three gloated of satellites i mean i have no idea how much they're each a piece of being lost in the tip of this new proton rocket you see the one thing i do know is that the russian space agency has been restructuring certain levels of its employees an expectation is when this blame game begins and the heads going to roll exactly well the russian space agency has been changing quite significantly and the past couple of years well we've seen resignations with seen people being fired and in particular back at the end of two thousand. the hands of russian space systems and he was actually leading the glonass projects and he resigned following really a massive corruption scandal then also and the same two thousand and twelve at the height of the main constructing center also resigned following a failure a nother rocket launch so clearly what we are observing right now is some massive

restructuring process within the agency but again of the most important thing is really to get to the bottom of what happened this morning at the baikonur cosmodrome news of baikonur and so it's a big loss this morning a three global board proton rocket lost today as the rocket lost its trajectory and exploded over the chasm within a culture of i think you well you can find more details about the latest crash and our previous accidents on our website of course on t.v. dot com for all those we come to you live from moscow this is r t and the islamist about egyptian president mohamed morsi drastically losing the support of his cabinet along with the sympathies of the public at least five ministers resigned amid antigovernment protests which were joined by millions with the military promising to deploy on to rear square but not to control the violence rather to guard the demonstrators r.t.l. true fall this report a short while ago from cairo. egyptian president finally responded to

a military ultimatum giving him just forty eight hours to meet the demands of the people otherwise they will intervene the president said that he didn't know about the statement before was released and slammed the language has begun computing he maintained he was working towards national reconciliation and said the greatest things come out of the journey which divided dilution was a civic democracy however he is losing support within his own administration we had the latest resignation just hours after his statements the foreign minister quit following four other resignations in the last two days meanwhile hundreds of thousands of egyptians returned to the streets on monday for a second day calling for the ouster of the president they say he's incapable of running the country we've seen no change in the last year we've got major fuel water and electricity and bread prices there's no employment they said enough is enough he must go there all remains of the army will be deployed to the streets in the growing violence a number of the muslim brotherhood this is the group that the president has from

their headquarters to be attacked by a bomb run site you see deadly clashes between support the president to those who are against the president leading many to many deaths and injuries across the country so really he was saying here is a lot of tension and further violence on the rise and meanwhile just a few kilometers from where i'm standing there is a protest in support of the president happening right now they say that the president was democratically elected and therefore he should not be from office and less is through the ballot box at the end of his term which is largely spearheaded by mr brotherhood because the president hails from the spokesperson of the brotherhood said last night they would all calls for early presidential elections and ask their members to mobilize and come to the streets we've certainly seen rallies in support of the president yesterday and across the country we expect more on the horizon with this deepening rift neither side backing down with little dialogue on the horizon many looking to the army to intervene to solve the deepening crisis. belcher in cairo well mark almond 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 there isn't an obvious alternative to morsi there isn't a clear figurehead for the opposition so even if morsi was to resign it was nobody automatic to take his place not least because the constitutional court would invalidated the elections to the parliament so that we have in the 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 refused to defend himself and his party but whoever comes to power or if morsi stays in power it's difficult to see that the basic problems of great poverty will in her sources come into the country terrible problems about paying for the import of vital resources including food

those can easily be resolved whoever is in power. thanks for joining us here on r.t. as russia considers a real life get out of jail free card though it comes with a catch financial wrongdoers and those lucky enough to bungle the tax forms could now evade prison via amnesty if indeed they fully reimburse the government hotness for whatever they made off with more of the low and conditions after the break.

of the things iran's outgoing president mahmoud ahmadinejad told us here at r.t. during an exclusive interview right here in moscow today. are there for. the westons don't want the syrian issue to come to an end there are two objectives first the continuation of this crisis is in the favor of design this regime it's provided the zionists with the historical opportunity in libya in egypt in syria there are conflicts in all the regional countries so nobody's paying attention to israel so they can rest easy the second thing is that under the pretext of the syrian question they want the crisis to spread out to neighboring countries to iran to lebanon and to turkey because they want to affect the whole region they want a new middle east. in a checkout artie's full interview with president mahmoud ahmadinejad that's twenty thirty g.m.t. the program so if we go with artie's so if we are not saying. now four

guantanamo bay inmates are suing the u.s. government to put an end to force feeding a procedure they say is inhumane and torture us and this comes in the wake of a hunger strike which has now lasted for months and seen more than forty of the hundred six inmates taking part being forced to eat or robert naiman from the just foreign policy think tank or use a visa any shouldn't even be at get a mo in the first place the u.s. court been inconsistent granted that any number of detainees have gotten. relief from u.s. court room court. in each detainee do have a b.s. corpus or a. do on their dance in some of the detainees have been released there's a rule. worked out all the war who are sued are all you can use that have been cleared for transfer by the u.s. government so the u.s.

government case for all these years. holding them at all is. certainly the u.s. government or for treating or even weaker no one can say what and how the work but it's certainly a lot of war movies why group of people they don't have a lot of options. it is not a surprise to me that we. during a time of budget cuts we spend one hundred fifty billion dollars each year to imprison one hundred sixty six people get more it's become a symbol around the world for america. for the kaiser report first though the world update go to kabul where at least ten people have died in an assault on a company in the afghan capital that supplies nato forces a car bomb ripped through the entrance to the compound before five attackers

started shooting all of them were killed along with four company employees under civilian. and violent clashes with police have broken out again in brazil as protests against transport costs continue across the country rioting in the northern city of mine now us vehicles were smashed and set on fire and the truck drivers in sao paolo brazil's largest city they started blocking highways angry at highway toll prices and the cost of diesel. first time a financial mischief may soon fall under an amnesty or approves a draft lower intended to give offenders a chance to pay back their ill gotten gains it would cover many types of economic crime it has already split the public and business communities alike auntie's katie pilbeam reports now on the fine print. russia is expected to pass a draw a floor for those convicted of economic crimes which could lead to the release of

around ten thousand prisoners and suspects now the idea was spoken in favor by vladimir putin at the same pieces the economic forum last month and is intended to be a more humanitarian approach especially considering not all crimes are intentional in the world of business now the embassy however comes with conditions it is for a first time offense and if the person repays that debt now economic crimes that qualify for the amnesty include insurance business bankruptcy fraud money laundering copyright breach and tax evasion among others crimes with any connection to violence or not be pardoned or certain crimes towards the state budget it's worth noting that gel tycoon mikhail khodorkovsky won't qualify for the amnesty as he's been convicted of multiple crimes now the business community understandably is over joyed about the law for us tossed off on this man for entrepreneurs wright

said it would be good for morals and ethics and further prosperity but the bill is not without its critics either including the head of the second largest lender here in russia b t v ordinary course to who suggested it was offering impunity to representatives of big business so all that might be some animosity to misty could soon be the law of the land. ati's katie co-payment right there but it's been a pleasure having you with us today here on. news and half an hour's time for now though is the kaiser report.

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. welcome

to the kaiser report imax guys are there but for the grace of bad english goes the japanese banking system so said the also in charge of japan's finance ministry he said that and i paraphrase japan's banks emerge from the global credit crime crisis largely on the scales because managers did not speak english well enough to understand the complex bogus to read of contracts that these cancers from wall street as successful.
