that as the army demands hit address close to quit buying millions of protesters while senior government officials resigned in solidarity with the opposition. international news and comment live from moscow this is all she with me hello and welcome to the program. edward snowden has was drawn his request for asylum in russia it follows a statement by the russian president that the fugitive whistleblowers welcome to stay only if he stops harming washington details now live from. going off was joining us from metro airport in moscow igor nice to see you will top and that. well at first there were lots of conflicting reports over whether or not snowden
10:02 am
had asked russia for political asylum and it turns out that late on sunday he passed an animal up with a written request to representatives of the russian foreign ministry through the legal expert from we could leaks was accompanying him on this trip at airports but then took the request back after hearing what russia's president putin had to say on this and he boies this condition saying that moscow is not planning to extradite him but he could stay but only if he stopped working against washington before a leader heard from the president's press secretary. who added that russia considered snowden human rights activists and asking him over to the u.s. where the penalty is still actively used is impossible and we also know that edward snowden has apply see twenty one countries for asylum what's been the response. in the same on a law passed to the russian diplomat well it contained the applications to twenty
10:03 am
other states and ten of them have already rejected the request including brazil and india eight member states including spain and germany have also given the green red light so far saying that under their rules all applicants for political asylum have to be on their territory so you are the. official obstacles in this process now so for venice a while and bolivia seem to be ready to provide political asylum to the former n.s.a. contractor and earlier artie's spanish channel managed to speak exclusively to the presidents of both countries and hear what this was what they said about this. yes why not of course the situation is far from ideal his case is constantly this. custom an international level. bolivia is ready
10:04 am
to give political asylum to the people who expose spying cities so to speak so this young man must be protected in terms of international and humanitarian law because he's being pursued by the u.s. vice president vice president by the secretary of state why is he being pursued what kind of crime has he committee has he launched a missile or killed anyone no he hasn't seen on the country he's doing everything to prevent it was to prevent any kind of illegal action against the whole world. or was the first crunchy words snowden asked for political asylum that we've heard from the country's president who said that he has to be at least on russian territory in order for them to start processing it but snowden is strongly believed to be still staying in the transit zone airport where he arrived to around a week ago from hong kong with the invalid american passport the u.s.
10:05 am
is still asking for his extradition and while snowden is promising more revelations . all right i can all fly from share matter airport so you go thank you very much indeed for the update. and political commentator alexander in the cross of joining us now live from london mystic process thank you very much indeed for joining us here at r.t. great to see you so what do you make of snowden's refusal to take the lead in a putin's offer. well to be honest with you i think this whole story doesn't resemble the fuss of i think that president putin did the right thing by saying that snowden has to stop this until american activity if he is because i think what president putin did basically was cut off and your route to russia for snowden and children immediately said as long as a part as i understand from the reports that no he will not be asking for the
10:06 am
political asylum. from the russian authorities but to be honest with you it's the american squad behaving in a very strange way because for them to be saying now that they want all the countries to help them get snowden without really saying so to at least for spying practically on everybody including their allies and for president obama and joe biden and barack obama to basically shrug off that most important part of death row and just say well these things happen and the doesn't really matter much but but we want snowden i think that this is really really outrageous meanwhile still not willing to extradite snowden what kind of reaction can we expect from washington can be can we do anything to get him back at this point. well washington obis lee would want him back and want him to put on trial simply because
10:07 am
it wants to show to cover showcase that other agencies working for the secret service or will not do similar things but what does as i said it's quite bizarre reading that now we see a european countries finding out you know allies of america finding out that they were being spied on although i must tell you personally that i think everybody probably suspect that the americans were using the internet to spy on others because they've invented the internet then they threw it all over the world and to expect them to give that away for free and get nothing back and that it took them well that was a bit naive and silly of people but i think that put it this sions in the west basically knew that something was going on and now they have to pretend that they are outraged by this because they just need to play the public relations card and that's for this whole story ending i don't really see it ending quickly because snowden now feels that he's fretting snowden feels that he's bookstand i don't know
10:08 am
what we can leaks what their role in the whole of this situation but i don't think we can leaks can count him out and i think we'll see this continuously going on with snowden asking one country after another whether they will give him political asylum or not the kind of course we also need to remember that people who work for intelligence services they should expect that if they stop revealing secret information they will be punished or they will be you know sort off the by their governments right so it's a very strange story it's it's like a film ok very briefly if you can of russia and the u.s. of course have a long history of tabula introductions does this signal any kind of change. well i personally think that there are two kinds of relations going on between the west and russia and america as well in russia they have business relations which are growing all the time and developing and we have political relations when we
10:09 am
have put this since posturing and saying things that don't really mean and i don't think that america and russia will fall out over snowden it's just that snowden is not that the big issue for the americans and russians they have so many other headaches they have to sort out see if they go for it to sort out so many other things but it does make a good sound bite you know when come in take to say ah yes the cold war is back which is a complete rubbish actually and that's why we will see hacks continue to put on the pressure and say all those things no no i don't see any serious problem with the relations between russia and the west now right alexandra and the cross of political commentator live from london mr process thank you very much indeed for sharing of he's with us thanks thank you meanwhile be us attempting damage limitation up to the latest leaks by snowden revealed washington has spied
10:10 am
extensively on its european allies barack obama's claims this is usual practice and make politics has not claimed calmed the outrage in the e.u. and the un as he's there in a fortnight 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 subject to similar surveillance citing classified documents leaked by n.s.a.
10:11 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 or 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
10:12 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 the u.n. 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 our war 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 not our take. on the edward snowden's case has response the debate on whether whistle blowing can't possibly be done through proper channels and in your show breaking to set in motion talks to one woman who attempted to stand. i want to emphasize i requested to testify through proper channels i was
10:13 am
a whistleblower but i did it through congress i tried to do it through congress and and a lot of whistleblowers are citing my case as evidence that going through the proper channels is not going to work and is not going to protect the public or the whistleblowers it makes no difference if the government feels threatened they will attack you you yourself were subject to really harsh crackdown from the government i mean even the altar of the patriarch those that he said that he never intended it to be used in the way that it is now i mean what do you think when you're looking at everything that's happened over the last decade did you foresee it ever getting to where it's gone and how pervasive it's because i was the second arab american ever indicted on the patriot act and the patriot act has criminalized dissension it says that sedition is the act of opposing the government through nonviolent means has become such
10:14 am
a threat that free speech itself is now criminalized by the patriot act and i think we're going to see the patriot act applied to many more people. were. never seen anything like that. russia's prime minister has demanded a list of those responsible for a space rocket crash in kazakhstan on tuesday morning seconds after takeoff the unmanned rocket fell to the ground and exploded within the by canoe cosmodrome it was carrying three satellites meant for russia's glow nost global navigation system . gave the full details to my clinical research. 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 product on rocket which was carrying three go on our satellites now it
10:15 am
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 accident and surely it would be followed by some environmental impact is 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 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 that pose well it of 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 it creates this
10:16 am
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 what i mean we know the latest reports are from the baikonur cosmodrome 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 line of successes however when it comes to this proton rocket this failure is not the first time it's happened indeed said that isn't deed 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 their progress rocket
10:17 am
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 fifty price tag maduna one hundred million dollars launch when you talk about the three global floods 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 has 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
10:18 am
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 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 launched today as the rocket lost its trajectory and exploded over the policies within a culture of i think you. and you can visit our website for more details about the rocket well as a timeline of previous space students and some ahead for you this hour

10:21 am
hyping up in egypt they were eating muslim brotherhood has a should a warning claiming that outside forces of all the top protestors against president morsi the clock is also taking for the islamist leader as the on his one state ultimatum for government action approaches into immense crowds the term into hours there is a mislead it showed no intention of leaving cairo's tahrir square and now live pictures from the scene where protesters are chanting anti government slogans on mass for a third day in a row meanwhile president morsi is suffering have a political blows to his spokesman have reportedly now quit only white following the resignations of the foreign minister and other cabinet members of his boat trip reports now from cairo. egyptian president finally responded to a military ultimatum giving him just forty eight hours to meet. 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
10:22 am
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 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 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 leading 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
10:23 am
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 therefore he should not be from office and less through the ballot box at the end of his term is largely spearheaded by mr brotherhood because the president hails from the spokesperson of this brotherhood said last night they reject all calls for early presidential elections and ask 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 on and historian and middle east expert says the all of his decision to step into the conflict may be a huge step backwards for egypt. 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
10:24 am
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 parliament 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 street from the army and the police would refuse to defend himself and his party but whoever comes to power or if most he 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 the head of france's far right national front of marine le pen has been stripped of her right to legal immunity as an m.e.p.
10:25 am
exposing her to the possible trial of racism charges the decision follows a request by a court in the own three years after she was accused of inciting racial hatred for comparing muslim street prayers to the occupation of france by german nazis and they were sent to interview to see le pen said she's been hunted for quite some time for expressing something no one would dead in paris and brussels. so truth is the censorship reigns in france and we are hunted down in all circumstances because we express an opinion that is different from the one way track of thinkings developed by the european union and also by the socialist party and the right wing parties in france have been hunted down for saying i think it's not normal that prayers should be allowed to take place right in the middle of the street blocking traffic it was a territorial occupation that is unacceptable it's the law and yet i'm being hunted down for having said this it's not a big deal it's
10:26 am
a source of pride for me to be hunted down by the system was about hagar to me the more the. do you feel less secure because of that notion resample most no i don't feel any less safe but still it shows that although france bans a lot of time preaching freedom to the entire world it should probably deal with its own issues for the dr and for all the thoughts in the marine le pen gave to r.c. in that interview head to our web site where you can find the full version of no holds barred discussion with the nazi and also on our website one mogul's misbehave russian media tycoon alexander negative is sentenced to one hundred fifty hours of community service for both he started during a live t.v. show find out the details of the drama on r.t. dot com. piece in series not all the west wants that's according to iran's outgoing president mahmoud ahmadinejad in an exclusive interview to he told us some powers were in the
