counterparts to meet her scope was 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 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
7:03 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 correa 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 truly 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 believe it is also ready to shelter the whistle blower that was going to fund by president ever

sun from the china policy institute are begin of us to have an all seeing and believes snowden is at risk of losing influence if he stops what he started. the value of mr snowden. and he stuck to stay in the limelight depends on him being able to say that he's got more to say. and then she's got nothing to say then he's bad. for us and is really just a matter of how he will be dealt with by the americans will be dealing with him in accordance with american law and all the other diplomatic one goes that will be involved in getting mr snowden to face he just is just in the u.s. so he has a vested interest and you go. president barack obama isn't damage control mode after the latest bunch of damning revelations from edward snowden suggesting
7:06 am
washington has spied on its allies obama said this is how things are usually done when it comes to big politics and european states are exactly the same even bigger one chief is trying to distance himself and the international body as a. report. 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 subject to similar surveillance citing classified documents leaked by n.s.a.
7:07 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
7:08 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 un mission was known as powell 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 for night r.t. . this finding has left a massive trade agreement between the u.s. and the european union hanging by a thread german politician on member of the european parliament rebecca holmes believes a lack of trust between the powers could have the potential deal. this is
7:09 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 as a green member of the european parliament see those instruments we have two agreements. in between us and also europe on data or 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 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 take there is a complete different concept of privacy and predicting citizen freedom
7:10 am
also in the european union compared to the united states and then monitor russian space rocket fell terms just seconds after launch it was carrying three satellites meant for russia to glance global navigation system and earlier today my colleague while we sushi i discussed this with culture has been following the story. it was indeed to a 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 glonass satellites now it went out of control moments into a launch and then the main part of the rocket just a ruptured end to a massive fireball and then the smaller parts of the rocket just crashed onto and then area so clearly it was a massive accident and surely it would be followed by some environmental impact as
7:11 am
wow you talk about an environmental impact also i suppose the risk to human safety you know 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 that pose well it a post some dangerous of course an expert say 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 if you will mostly vaporized but still created 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 whatever 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
7:12 am
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's that is and 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 sad lives 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
7:13 am
are huge bigger that's why that is a hefty price tag million or one hundred million dollars lost when you talk about the three global i mean i have no idea how much they're worth each piece 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 seeing 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 than also in 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
7:14 am
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. 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. and you can find more details about the latest crash and previous accidents as well when our website called. russia considers a real life get out of jail free card about whether courage financial wrongdoing those unlucky enough to go bad tunks forms could not evade prison van and the state of play for you wayne bust the government all partners or whatever they made up with. and later this hour.

down low give up location so. stream quality and enjoy your favorite. if you're away from your television well it just doesn't work so well with your mobile device you can watch your t.v. any time anyway. you're watching r c coming to you live from moscow islam is blocked egyptian president mohamed morsi is try to secure losing the support of his cabinet along with sympathies of the public at least five ministers resigned amid antigovernment protests which were joined by millions with the military promising to deploy untucked leave square to god the demonstrators are now till his spokespeople have also reported liquids on his belt true the latest from cairo. egyptian president
7:17 am
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 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 because the president has from their
7:18 am
headquarters to be attacked by a bomb run site you see deadly clashes between those who support the president to those who are against the president leading many to many deaths and injuries across the country 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 saying that the president was democratically elected and he should not be removed from office and less is through the ballot box at the end of his term this is largely spearheaded by mr brotherhood because 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 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. and armand a historian and
7:19 am
a middle east expert says the army is the solution 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 see this to resign it was nobody automatic to take his place not least because the constitutional court 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 and from the army of the police to refuse to defend himself and his party but whoever comes to power or if mr stays in power it's difficult to see that the basic problems of great poverty would lend her sources

westerns you 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 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 to new middle east. and you can check out artie's full interview with president mahmoud ahmadinejad at twenty thirty g.m.t. in south dakota with selfish haven't. forgotten about in may soon the u.s. government to put an end to force feeding a procedure they say is inhumane and tall trees this comes in the wake of

a hunger strike which has now lasted for months and seen more than forty of the one hundred six inmates taking part being forced to eat and robert naiman from the just foreign policy think tank believes the detainees shouldn't be in gun tunnel or in the first place. the u.s. courts have been inconsistent brant is it any some of these detainees have gotten. relief from you in the court room court that is in the detainee do have a b.s. corpus right. to stew on their detention some of the detainees have been released. or battle the war who have sued over all you need that have been cleared for transfer by the u.s. government so the u.s. government case for holding them. holding them at all is. certainly the u.s. government case or for treating them is even weaker than it was can say what's going

to happen before 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 have problems in guantanamo during a time of 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 while. satisfying financial miss chase my son for land and i'm in a state if russia approves a drug you know intended to give offenders a child to pay bond that ill gotten gains what kind of many types of economic crimes that have already explained the public and this is coming it isn't like his case appeal than sorry. russia is expected to pass a draw a floor for those convicted of economic crimes which could lead to the release of
7:24 am
around ten thousand prisoners and suspects now the idea was spoken in favor of by vladimir putin at least some 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 their debts 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 is worth noting that gel tycoon mikhail khodorkovsky won't qualify for the amnesty as he's been convicted of multiple crimes on 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 bt v. or a course student who suggested it was offering impunity to representatives of big business so all that might be some animosity to misty could soon be the lore of the land. for some other international news headlines at least ten people have died in an assault on a company in the afghan capital that supplies nato forces a car bomb blast to work through the entrance to the compound before five a time because that shooting all of them were killed along with four company employees and a civilian. 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 ny now swear vehicles were smashed and set on fire truck drivers in some parallel brazil's largest city a block highways and agree at highway told prices and the cost of diesel fuel. and coming up next to the latest edition of breaking the set without a mouse in. 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
7:27 am
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 culture 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 scene like a bit of a shady thing to me but that's just my opinion. looking
