edward snowden rejects russia's asylum condition that he stops working against washington as his options begin to run one by one. president obama says every country spies in a bid to calm the outrage over america's blatant snooping on its european allies. launch into nowhere and amanda russian rockets loaded with navigation satellites a minute after takeoff engulfing the accident site in clouds of gases and sparking fears of an environmental disaster. and live pictures. here square is egypt's president mohamed morsi faces one blow after another as the all meet demands he addressed to quit millions of protesters government officials

resigned in solidarity with the opposition. international news and comment line on screen twenty four hours a day this is. edward snowden has withdrawn his request for asylum in russia it follows a statement by the russian president that the fugitive whistleblower is welcome to stay only if he stops harming washington details now from going to. there are lots of conflicting reports over whether or not snowden had asked russia for political asylum and it turns out that late on sunday he passed an animal up with a written request to a representative of the russian foreign ministry through the legal expert from we could weeks was accompanying him on this trip at airports but then took the

request to back after hearing what russia's president putin had to say on this and he was this condition saying that moscow is not planning to actual date him but he could stay but only if he stopped working against washington before 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 he is still actively used is impossible the envelopes passed over to the russian diplomat also contained applications to twenty other countries for political asylum and ten of them have already officially rejected including brazil and india eight e.u. member states i've also given the red light so far including germany and spain they say that on the very rules all applicants for political asylum have to be on a very territory now venezuela and believe you are the countries which seem to be ready to provide political asylum to mr snowden and early r.t. spanish channel managed to speak exclusively to the presidents of both countries

yes why not of course the situation is far from ideal his case is constantly discussed on an international level. here bolivia is ready to give political asylum to the people who are exposed to these so to speak. this young man must be protected in terms of international and humanitarian law because he's being pursued by the u.s. plays a 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 know. he hasn't on the contrary he's doing everything to prevent the rules to prevent any kind of illegal action against the whole world in ecuador was the first crunchie wish snowden asked for political asylum and now we've heard from the country's president who said that he has to be at least on a russian territory in order for them to start processing it but snowden is

strongly believed to be still staying in this transit zone. where he arrived to around a week ago from hong kong would be invalid american passport to the u.s. is still asking for his extradition while snowden is promising more revelations. let's take a closer look now at edward snowden's asylum dalai lama he originally asked for refuge in iceland and ecuador which was followed by a request to nineteen of the states so far several countries have denied his bid some of them said they would only consider it if the thirty year old was on that territory he has also refused to stay in russia rejecting the offer by president putin meanwhile others remained tight lipped on the issue leaving the former n.s.a. contractor with only two options and it would snowden has threatened new leaks over u.s. spying programs political commentator alexander nicholas of believes that president putin's assad in condition for the fugitive whistleblower reflects the relationship between moscow and washington 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 weak of political relations when we kind of put it this sounds 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 critics that have to sort out syria because of what to sort out so many other things but it does make a good sound bite you know when come into it to say ah yes the cold war is back which is a complete rubbish actually and that's why we will see facts 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. meanwhile the u.s. is attempting damage limitation after the latest leaks by snowden revealed

washington has spied extensively on its european allies broke obama has since claimed something everyone does turkey an epic he's a belgian m.e.p. from the european conservatives and reformist group and he believes this simply won't be enough for europe europeans are very angry they are enraged about what's happening they were always big admirers of barack obama they regarded him as the man next to jesus christ and now this man is spying on them particularly in germany is a very sensitive issue people are very angry because the fuel's being supplied by an ally that has targeted germany which basically is a very strong ally of the united states or is a huge disappointment the popularity of obama is dropping by the day and in fact obama is heading for some trouble with europe the closest ally you could think of if you look at the number of communications intercepted in germany five hundred million dollars really excessive it goes against all data protection legislation

that we have privacy isn't is intruded this way oh by the americans and we do not know what a scope is and what they do with the information. amid the circus surrounding snowden's fate it's fair to say the revelations he initially made have been somewhat lost but to find them again you can head to our website r.t. dot com for a full timeline of events around the whistleblower and of course the n.s.a. leaks that rocked the international community. russia's prime minister's demanded a list of those responsible for a space rocket crashing kazakstan on tuesday morning seconds after takeoff the unmanned rocket fell to the ground and exploded within the baikonur cosmodrome it was carrying three satellites meant for russia's last global navigation system earlier artie's within a culture never gave the full details to my colleague received. it wasn't deede to rather shocking morning for those at the baikonur cosmodrome this morning and as

you can see here there is to be a russian product on rocket which was carrying three golan asset lights now it went out of control moments into a launch and then the main part of the rocket just to rub 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 while you talk about an environment in part 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 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 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 and what. 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 zied not 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. where it say that the failure of it could head up to two hundred million dollars and last and these are huge bigger that's our that is the price tag machine or one hundred million dollar 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 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. or to talk more on this joined live from london by dr

patrick fuller he's founder of capital science connections and a long time observer of the russian space industry patrick what could have caused this failure do you think well bill let's begin by thinking about what has to go right under these circumstances just to get something into space if you imagine the space rocket rather like this pen which i'm attempting badly now to balance on my finger in order to propel the rocket up into space we've got a fire a large volume of gas out of the base of the rocket and got to manage to keep that balanced in some way and as we saw in this particular case that bouncing out that has to take place just didn't quite get right under these circumstances so the thing tipped over and fell and of course once the things starts to veer off course badly like about the aerodynamic stresses and all the other kinds of things that the rocket is just not engineered to take cause the thing to break up with the

inevitable results that we saw in that film now there have been thirty six proton launches since two thousand and ten and four of them have failed is that a good or a bad statistic in this type of industry. well it's you know of course we can we can bring lady bracknell up to date here can't we by saying to lose three glow now satellites is unfortunate to look to lose six looks like carelessness but to be serious about the whole thing right now the proton program looks as though the failure rate of a round about ten percent over the life of the program and remember this is a launch vehicle that's been going since the very beginning of the soviet space program it actually began life in design as a launch of our i c b m's. its it's not a great record but let's have a look and see what's going to happen over the next six to twelve months over the next series of launches are we going to see any more failures that's the crucial

thing i think another one more really tip the balance that this is damaging to the russian space program isn't it something like this happening well the thing is that space programs are very complex things i mean we're focusing very much now on the technology but when you look at the failures that have happened in space launches across the world you're looking at the complex relationship between the technology between the people and the systems that are involved in managing the technologies and the interesting thing is that at the heart of all these failures usually there is some kind of failure of the system some kind of failure in the decision making process that's had to take place and the crucial thing right now and i know ross cosmos will be looking at this immediately the crucial thing right now is to look at the systems that are in place to look at the decisions that were made to

identify where the failures were and to take some action and show that action is being taken to alleviate that problem and finally patrick just briefly why does appear that manned flights are safer than these unmanned ones. well it's very good that that's the case isn't it and certainly i would feel quite confident sitting on top of a soyuz launch or going into space right now that's that's no problem at all there are two very different launch vehicles the fuel systems that are used are very different in this case in the case of the proton it's a hyperbolic system a combination of hydrazine nitrogen tetroxide which is the reason that people are very concerned about the environmental impact of this in the case of the soyuz launcher the rocket fuel liquid kerosene and liquid oxygen which is a very different proposition so the two launches a very different and it's very difficult to compare the two and clearly in manned

space flight everyone always has taken a great deal of care to ensure that the thing is saluted you're safe as possible and i'm very grateful that it is talk to patrick for the founder of capital science connections live in london great to talk to you thank you very much indeed for that well still ahead french far right leader marine le pen's been stripped of her immunity afforded to her as an m.e.p. with the disease even away in france after she compared praying muslims on the streets to the nazi occupation. and in an exclusive interview to r.t. iran's president mahmoud ahmadinejad's tells us who he thinks has been skimming the cream off the syrian conflict all that and more after the break.

continues here naughty the clock is ticking for egypt's president mohamed morsi as the army's wednesday ultimatum full government action approaches crowds determined to else the islamist leader showed no intention of leaving his square meanwhile morsi is suffering heavy political blows with senior politicians resigning one after another is true with more on these developments. maids' growing tensions across the country on the third day of nationwide protests against the president the muslim brotherhood the islamist group the president has from released a statement saying they expect imminent attacks on to harry's square and presidential palace witnessing antigovernment demonstrations right now they say this will be on they don't know who's behind these in intact to talk about but it sets up to frame the muslim brotherhood and divide the nation some people are

dismissing this statement as a means of them trying to get people to leave anti-government demonstrations in fear however the crowd he is taking for the president the hour winds the military had given him to meet the demands of the people in closing i meet with hundreds of thousands of people coming back to the streets calling for his ouster they said he had enough the president is unable to to rule they see no change in the last year and they're staying put until he resigns the president appears to be losing support from within his own administration we've already had five minutes to resign in the last few days and today two presidential spokespersons and the spokesperson to the cabinet have also resigned and the president for his part has met with the minister of interior and the ministry of defense in a bid to try and solve this crisis however many are protecting that we may see presidential elections coming soon in addition we've had comments from the u.s. president obama who's pulled on the most see actually listen to the people saying

that democracy is not just through about it books this comes amid growing fees from the americans the u.s. embassy has closed off to the has been a lot of a matter of anti-american sentiment expressed in protests here on to his square and also in the presidential palace i've certainly seen a lot of bomb is targeting the u.s. ambassador to egypt and passive en masse and sorry i'm saying the missing brotherhood is following a u.s. agenda what's happening right now is a severely divided egypt with tensions rising an expected violence on the horizon. well true there are mark ullman he's a historian a middle east expert he says the army's 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 is that there isn't an obvious alternative to morsi there isn't a clear figurehead for the opposition so even if morsi was to resign there's nobody

automatic to take his place not least because the constitutional court had invalidated the elections to the parliament so that we have a 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 curves in the streets from the army and the police who refuse to defend himself and his party but whoever comes to power or more sustained in power it's difficult to see that the basic problems of great poverty driveline poor sources coming into the country terrible problems of boat paying for the import of vital resources including food those can easily be resolved whoever is in part well you can give your own forecast for where egypt is heading at the moment of the dot com there we have our latest poll waiting for you and looking at the results on the screen so far most of you predict that the president will allied with the army to suppress dissent and rule on a dictator

a little less think that the government is bound to collapse leading to chaos and a humanitarian catastrophe and just over a quarter say there will be a military coup that could bring some degree of stability and only eight percent that we can see think that mubarak is officials they will take over after morsi is imminent resignation so those are your thoughts at the moment online at r.t. dot com. the head of france's far right national front marine le pen has been stripped of her right to legal immunity as an m.e.p. exposing her to a possible trial over racism charges the decision follows a request by court and three years after she was accused of inciting racial hatred for comparing muslim street pros to the occupation of france by german nazis in a recent interview to r.t. le pen said that she's been hunted for quite some time for expressing something no one would do in paris and brussels. even from the new 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 thinking developed by the european union and also by the socialist party and the right wing parties in france have been hunted down first 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 get i'm being hunted down for having said that it's not a big deal it's a source of pride for me to be hunted down by the system was about. more than. do you feel less secure because of that knowledge an example 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 first of all you don't have dr well for all the thoughts marine le pen gave to r.t. in that interview head to our web site where you can find the full version of

conflicts in all the regional countries so nobody's paying attention to israel so they can rest easy this is the second thing is that under the pretext of the syrian question they want the crisis to spread out to neighboring countries to iran or to lebanon of them into turkey because they want to organise the whole region or that your they want a new middle east when you can watch the full interview with president mahmoud ahmadinejad at twenty thirty g.m.t. or more news for in about thirty minutes from now with me and the news team and meantime coming up it's the kaiser report after the break. the news a secret laboratory to mccurdy was able to build a new its most sophisticated robot which all unfortunately doesn't give

so here we're going to introduce this first headline poor english saved japan's banks from crisis this is from tara so the finance minister and he says many people fell prey to the dubious products of so-called subprime loans japanese banks were not so much attracted to these products compared with european banks mr also told a seminar in tokyo managers of japanese banks hardly understood english that's why they didn't buy he said. well i can understand where he's coming from on that you know and i said a lot of french t.v. i would call jamie diamond lloyd blankfein curse words and names and all kinds of scatological references to their being and the french of course didn't speak english so they would just say yes i agree with you that's fantastic well but the other thing of course is that he could argue this but the fact is also that the english speaking of.
