with the opposition. and you saw russia and iran the well this is all see with me you hello and welcome to the program. and we start with breaking news this hour at the snowden house was drawn his application for asylum in russia 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 being considered by almost twenty other nations all she's a nice in our nations for us he won't take this offer from russia from putin to be welcomed here and gain asylum based on the conditions that led to your preaching put out on monday which were that he had to stop quote harming his u.s.
6:02 am
counterparts to meet their discoveries putin spoke first and basically really. it reiterated this saying that asylum could only be granted if he seized his anti american activities obviously as we're reporting snowden refuse these conditions now piscopo also pointed out that snowden is a human rights activist and this means that extradition at least for russia is impossible especially to countries that have the death penalty he pointed out really that russia never extradite its 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
6:03 am
the question 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 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 in beginning that he would share the same fate as to you know 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 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. and steve flying from the china policy institute at the university of nottingham believes snowden is at risk
6:04 am
of losing influence if this stops or he's started. the value of mr snowden. and he still hostility to stay in the limelight depends on him being able to say that he's got more to say. and i'm sure it's got nothing to say then he's value. for us and is really just a matter of how he will be dealt with and by the americans will be dealing with him in the cauldrons with american law and all the other diplomatic one goes that will be involved in getting mr snowden to face. a justice system in the u.s. so he has a vested interest and you go. president barack obama is in damage control mode after the latest bunch of damning revelations from edward snowden so just think
6:05 am
washington has spy on the easy allies obama said this is how things are usually done with accounting the big policy is and edward and the european states do exactly the same even the u.n. chief is trying to distance himself and the international body has autism or in a person i 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 dogged at 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 subject to similar surveillance citing classified documents leaked by n.s.a.
6:06 am
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. that they're 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
6:07 am
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 of the greek u.n. mission was known as powell and the operation against its embassy was known as long 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 marina up for nine r.t. . this one has left a massive trade agreement between the two us and the european union hanging by a thread german politician and member of the european parliament rebecca holmes believes a lack of trust between the powers could kill the potential. this is
6:08 am
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 remember of the european parliament see those instruments we have to agreements. in between us and also europe and d'etat so this is the swift agreement and also the agreement of. data in the international flights p n r we could stop those agreements and. i really am convinced that we should you not open the negotiations on t.v. to this internet this united states trade agreement because this is also very very sensitive when it comes to debt up takes there is a complete different concept of privacy and predicting citizen freedom
6:09 am
also in the european union compared to the united states russia's prime minister has demanded a list of those responsible for space rocket crash and curse of sound on tuesday morning and manned space rocket fell to earth just seconds after launch it was carrying three satellites meant for russia's glow nasa global navigation system is meant in a cultural has been following the story for. it was indeed 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 go on our satellites now it went out of control moments into a launch and then the main part of the rocket just to rupture 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 accidents and surely it would be followed by some environmental impact is
6:10 am
while you talk about environmental impact also i suppose the risk to human safety you you talk about the baikonur cosmodrome if you will where the spectators start 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 the 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 mostly vaporized but still and created as a 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 whatever i mean we know the latest reports are from the baikonur
6:11 am
cosmodrome down the cause except 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 lot of successes however when it comes to this proton rocket this failure is not the first time it's happened indeed so that isn't did not as of. this type off a rocket now the program has suffered a number of failures and 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 the 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 and x.
6:12 am
where it say that the failure of it could head up to two hundred million dollars and last these are huge bigger yeah that's why that is a fifty price tag machine or one hundred million dollar launch when you talk about the three global i mean i have no idea how much they're worth 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 expectations when this blame game begins and it's 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 and twelve the hands of russian space systems and he was actually leading the glow on a project that 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
6:13 am
a nother rocket launch so clearly what we are observing right now is some massive restructuring process within the agency but again the most important thing is really to get to the bottom of what happened this morning at the baikonur cosmodrome do this. 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 policies within a culture of i think you. find out more details about the nation's crash and previous accidents on our website dot com. russia considers a real life gets out of jail free card but with a catch a national wrong good on both unlucky enough to the bungle that tonks pulls could not invade prison brought under state if they want a rainbow as the government of theirs or whatever they may help with more on the law and conditions later this hour. on gun tunnel
6:14 am
the inmates to the government full force feeding them saying it's inhumane and violates human rights and on that right after the break. we'll look at. its technology innovation all the lives developments from around russia we've got the future covered. you know how sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture.
6:15 am
please speak your language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on all t.v. reporting from the world talks about six of the c.o.r.p. interviews intriguing stories for you. in trying. to find out more visit our big. dog called. you're watching r.t. live from moscow welcome back islam is a box egyptian president mohammed morsi is drastically losing the support of his cabinet along with the sympathies of the public at least five ministers resigned amid anti-government protests which were joined by millions with the military promising to deploy in tough square to guard the demonstrators truth has the latest
6:16 am
from cairo for us. the 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 as vague confusing he maintained he was working towards national reconciliation and said that the greatest things come out of the twenty five dilution was a civic democracy however he is losing support within his own administration we have 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 already most 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
6:17 am
their headquarters to be attacked by a bomb run site you see deadly clashes between those who support the president of those who are against the president leaving many to many deaths and injuries across the country to really what we're seeing 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 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 the group the president hails from the spokesperson of the muslim brotherhood said last night they reject all calls for early presidential elections and asked their members to mobilize and come to the streets you certainly seen running 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. and mark almond historian and middle east expert says the army's
6:18 am
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 you see there isn't an obvious alternative to morsi there isn't a clear figurehead for the opposition so even if we'll see just resign it was nobody automatic to take his place not least because the constitutional court would invalidated the elections to the polymer so that we have and 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 from the army and the police would refuse to defend himself and his party but whoever comes to power or if mr stays and it's difficult to see that the basic problems of poverty would lend her sources coming into the

6:20 am
students 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 to live in libya egypt and 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 to new middle east do. you check out our she's full interview with president mahmoud and larger job at twenty thirty g.m.t. in so he coped with selfish of a not. foregone time a bear inmates are seeing the u.s. government to put an end to force feeding a procedure they say is inhumane and torture is this comes in the wake of

6:22 am
happen before but it certainly a lot of war moves by group of people that don't have a lot of options. it is not a surprise to me that we have problems in guantanamo seringapatam a budget cuts we've spent a hundred and fifty million dollars each year in prisons hundred sixty six people become a symbol all around the world for america. first time financial news chief may soon fall under an amnesty if russia approves a draft law intended to give offenders a chance to pay fines that ill gotten gains it would cover many times of economic crime but has already split the public and business communities along and she's caved to pilgrim joins us now live to discuss the fine print that katie nice to see you so why don't the bill stand and eyes to see i'm going to break it down just now
6:23 am
with all the details so russia is expected to pause a draw floor for misty for those convicted of economic crimes which could lead to the release of around ten thousand prisoners and suspects of the idea was spoken in favor of by vladimir putin at the st petersburg economic forum last month and is intended to be a more humanitarian approach especially considering that not all crimes are intentional in the world of business now the amnesty however comes with conditions it is for a first offense and if the person repays the debt no economic crimes that qualify for the amnesty include insurance business bankruptcy fraud money laundering copyright breach tax of beige and among other things you can say now crimes with any connection to violence will not be pardoned or certain crimes towards the state
6:24 am
budget it's worth noting that. won't qualify for the amnesty because he's been convicted of multiple crimes and the business community understandably is over do it about the law or is tossed off on this one for entrepreneurs wright said it would be good for morale and ethics and prosperity is one of the bill is not without its critics including the head of the second largest then de haye in russia be to be on the take will stand who suggested it was offering impunity to representatives of big business. so while there might be some animosity too this could soon be the law of the land so mixed reactions that it's always the case that in lorries and that there's always going to be disagreement. so we're watching the situation absolutely keep watching the situation in case you come over and report about it and i think you
