square where in egypt the situation is false reaching a boiling point as the deadline for the president to address the calls of millions of protesters moves closer with every military is now proposing to scrap the constitution and dissolve parliament. internationally using comment online 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 edward snowden has withdrawn his request for asylum in russia it follows a statement by the russian president that the fugitive whistleblower is welcome to stay only if he stops harming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 meanwhile the venezuelan president nicolas maduro has been speaking exclusively to r.t. about the possibility of offering a safe haven to the thirty year old and we'll cross live

a little later talk course with his can of who was listening to be interviewed in full and we'll find out more about what madeira had to say well in the meantime edward snowden has threatened new leaks over u.s. spying programs political commentator alexander nicholas hoult believes that president putin's assad in condition for the fugitive whistleblower reflects the relationships 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 we have political relations when we. put it this 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 the bigger issue for the americans and russians they have so many other critics they 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 commentate to say ah yes the cold war is back which is a complete rubbish actually and that's why we will see 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 off to the latest leaks by snowden revealed that washington has spied extensively on its european allies barack obama's claims this is usual practice they have not called. the un. reports 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 common made 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 hopped 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. 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 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. reporting from new york marine up one night r t. well as we reported a little earlier the venezuelan president nicolas maduro has been speaking exclusively to r.t. about the possibility of offering a safe haven to edward snowden and we can now get all the details from his cannot

so you go what did the president have to say on the snowden issue. well despite the widespread expectation is that the venezuelan president would take i would snowden along with him to venezuela nicholas my door is heading back home from moscow a lot earlier he did say that snowden had a good chance of getting political asylum in his country if he asked for it but in an exclusive interview to our t. the venezuelan president said that first of all the still haven't received any requests from snowden on this issue he was clearly sympathetic to what the former n.s.a. contractor and his revelations and he said that if he did receive a request from him then he's not afraid of any pressure from washington their country is used to that we said that before making the final decision will have to weigh everything out that. this young man. has to be protected by the international community he dead with

dignity to tell the world that there are mechanisms to spy on the world even on your own if snowden stays here will be destroyed protecting snowden will protect peace. earlier the president of bolivia said that his country is basically ready to provide political asylum to mr snowden was trust that they've also haven't yet received any requests from him now the former n.s.a. contractor has retracted his political asylum request to russia after hearing president putin's conditions and he said that moscow is not planning to extradite snowden to the u. west's and he could stay in russia if you wanted but then you have to stop harming . and we've heard from the president's press secretary also said that moscow sees

norden as a human rights activist and sees it's not possible to pass a model to view west where the death sentence is still being used but we know of course that he's applied to twenty one countries for asylum tell us more about the response he's received so far. absolutely right he's also applies to twenty countries twenty one in total and ten of them have already officially given the red line to including brazil and india and eight e.u. member states including spain and germany he said that under their rules all applicants for political asylum have to be on their territory where they were snowden clearly isn't now ecuador of the country which snowden turned to first for political asylum we've heard from their president and he said that basically under variables he has to be at least on russian territory in order for them to even begin processing his request but since he's still in the transit zone actually

meeting airport then they're not even able to start doing that now snowden arrived to the transit zone around a week ago from hong kong with an invalid american passport and washington is still asking for his extradition while snowden is promising more revelations you go thank you very much indeed l.t.g. going to live in central moscow. well now we've got our to contribute a hash in return joining us live from london right now and the venezuelan president he said it's more important to talk about not what snowden is facing and his predicament but more about what snowden is actually revealed in the course in the wake of these latest leaks by him britain spying allegations let's talk about those because they've somewhat been overshadowed haven't they in recent events. that's right the media loves the bond like tale the jason bourne like tale but of course as i understand in the past few hours glenn greenwald the journalist who edward snowden confided in his said that there are about to be some shattering revelations

just around the corner because remember this is the tip of the iceberg so far but whatever is the case here is a man that only wanted i mean based on his releases so far is the up holding of the fourth amendment of the constitution of the united states and congressional oversight what did he get in reward for that president obama first of all these people saying he's very dangerous then president obama in africa saying he doesn't important is not important everyone spies on each other and then him banning u.s. army personnel from being able to see a newspaper just does breaking the first amendment of the constitution as well the reaction of the president of the a bomb or administration has been absurd at best so you don't think obama will succeed in any way in his damage limitation exercise . he's obviously trying his best trying to strangers leaking information about ecuador about glenn greenwald about edward snowden and

desperately putting it out in their chosen. chosen journals the wall street journal bits and pieces being leaked out into t.v. it's not going to work if glenn greenwald has way more stuff that is going to threaten entire trade deals which is the one between the european union and the united states which is certainly what the french foreign minister and the rest of any of germany saying they're going to be urging talks is not taken as a joke because in the european union they harp on and doggone about the data protection act i think everyone in certainly in britain is talking about data protection of european that just nation about it in other words the european union is pointlessly drawing up legislation about freedom of information when in fact all it means is that word military industrial information goes straight to washington ahead of the talks let alone defense matters because france is a nuclear power britain's codes and you are with washington you talk about industrial information many saying this is more about industrial espionage than the

national security interests or does this kind of spying industrial espionage leave us with less to worry about or is it just as bad. it's interesting to note from the numbers of countries that are being more sympathetic to certain and those who want because that is to do in a sense with industrial policy neo liberal ideas are being pursued in nations that don't want anything to do with snowden because they are in with the united states it's all about economics and don't forget if the united states has a cia agent's plan to die levels in governments in europe they'll also be able to take tabs on their agents as well as on the general talks that are being held in secret about trade deals between europe trying to forge greater links with brazil with china the brics countries and the european and therefore the united states can start to use that as different types of leverage against individuals against dealmakers warmakers. this is this is not as president obama said oh you know it's

about my breakfast it's not about that at all and what's really shameful is the way of those countries that the european union going through their immediately going absolutely not that we know what letting them in it's all about soils a little in norway which of course awarded him the nobel peace prize president obama. one of the first countries to deny asylum to someone who the u.s. constitution and of course the country which host you know well connection i think just into briefly obama really needs anything going to change in the light of what we've been hearing will lead us the u.k. or in fact any country actually stop spying on each other. laura fabulous was very quick to say that the whole of the european union must take a common common policy stance on this but him and his german counterpart are saying we must take it absolutely seriously here in london it's not taken seriously

because the cameron government seems to not well the n.s.a. has a base here and probably involved in it but certainly this will be talked about in stroudsburg and brussels and is being treated with the utmost seriousness and it won't just be sweeps that are done it may endanger actually vital deals and lead to who knows even geopolitical changes as some of the bravest politicians in the european union there are some i think will be treating this not with humor and not with this is what they do government spying on each other but you know the united states is breaking. incredibly important international law and in fact was kind of backed up by ban ki moon the in the united nations secretary general himself good to talk to you on this action thanks a lot for your thoughts r.t. contributor live there in london afshin rattansi. what amid the circus surrounding snowden's fate it is fair to say that the revelations initially made have been somewhat losses we're just talking about earlier 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. the clock is ticking for egypt's president mohamed morsi is the army's wednesday ultimatum for government action approaches it means crowds determined to oust the islamist leader still show no sign of leaving curry's streets and squares a draft plan drawn up by the military chiefs to solve the ongoing crisis has surfaced and he's our correspondent bell true on what it contains. the egyptian military's roadmap for the future of egypt was leaked to the press this afternoon what it said was it to be a new constitution a new parliament and an interim council to rule the country although the truck doesn't necessarily specify the president must step down this is putting a serious amount of pressure on the president is an indication that the the military are trying to push the future of egypt that could potentially not see him in power the fall is taking the food say our winds or the military gave the

president to meet the demands the people is coming so close to more tomorrow meanwhile as you can see behind me thousands of egyptians have continue continue to come to the streets nationwide calling for the ouster of the president is to been in scenes here from the presidential palace people almost celebrate celebrating what they think might be the night the president steps down meanwhile the missing father did release a statement earlier today saying that there might be unknown groups who will attack the train square and the government protesters and those here are the presidential palace they say in a bid to frame is the mystery and further tomorrow divide the nation some people slam this as merely a way to try and dissuade people from being on the streets and really what we're seeing at the moment is extraordinary levels of dissent across the country as people are calling for the president to step down if they think that he's not taking them on in the country has been no change in the last year is growing economic crisis job losses the president is seeing a lot of dissent from within his own administration

a group of cabinet ministers i resigned today including the foreign minister also to spokespersons for the presidency and the spokesperson for the shura council which is a worrying sign to the presidency he sat down with the minister of interior and the defense minister the head of the army in crisis talks however we're not sure what the results of it's going to be we will have a statement released this evening from the president the president doesn't have a support base here in egypt just a kid some of his away from here there is a sit in at home giving sittin in the food. morsi by the islamist parties according to mr motherhood's freedom and justice party they say that he dismisses the red line the president was democratically elected he cannot be ousted base in this manner he must appeal these four years in time and then have presidential elections so we're seeing a divided egypt with the military a positioning itself in the form of intervening and really we don't mention what's going to happen in the next few hours. that's not discuss the latest news coming out of egypt live with khaled sharia he's

a blogger focusing on the middle east so called protests as i said to be in jubilation at the news of the army's draft road map but is that really something to celebrate the possibility that the military could take control i don't think it's to be honest and i think the opposition and to take on the street should have been very careful enough opening up this possibility you know one thing we need to make clear i'm going to have thousands of egyptians or do you just wouldn't take to the streets if they didn't have legitimate grievances but ultimately the process if it went culminate in the army taking over and simply giving ultimatums to elected officials this is an incomplete operation it's a distortion of democracy so i think that's not something to celebrate and i think there's a danger in this kind of becoming an out of control vehicle that ends up somehow being distorted and ends up undermining elected officials so the next few hours are

they really that crucial could we see morsi actually go. well we're hearing a lot of rumors about that and you know typical rumor mill in the middle east is this actually there's momentum building up for doubt and i think there's quite a strong chance actually there might be a tip off so maybe the muslim brotherhood might choose to delay this confrontation under-served it scars because it on others can come back parts in the next presidential elections or parliamentary elections or it could just to go on its ground but i think what we have to remember is morsi wasn't really the chosen first candidate for the muslim brotherhood and hasn't particularly done well so there might be some form of compromise where the muslim brotherhood lets him go but that would be as that response to that manager of pressure not to the minute to go to the pressure on the street which i get highlights where there are a huge issue is over here so he does have morsi does go then some are saying the situation could get far worse i mean do you think the opposition is actually

capable of leading the country in chaotic times or whatever happens if he goes could it get far worse i have i have no faith in the oppositions i mean the form and opposition the national salvation front i use constituents to be able to lead egypt in this tough transition period they couldn't win a majority of votes in the parliament and they still wouldn't be able to do it now so that doesn't give them and it to me see and also it exposes very clearly their lack of cohesion stand ability to lead egypt during this transition so you're saying that the opposition is in no way united despite the fact what we're seeing now in tahrir square looks like a massive amount of people who want to see morsi goes it looks like a fairly united opposition on the face of it. not really because what we have to see is here we're seeing the pure kind of monte patient on the street that's goes out of the ordinary egyptians that will tell you that idea doesn't for example that either of their staff or the spokesman for the n.s.f. and the national celebration from isn't necessarily the political figure that

represents their aspirations so you seem to nevers their operation over here one is this popular anger legion grievances nothing that's happened during this year a lot of sectarianism a lot of it kind of negative language from the government then it's had president morsi but a same time there's the other level which is almost like a pirate sides almost on the popular demonstrations i don't call it that's not able to express its demands you know when it's a language i don't people to propose read political platform to move one forward for egypt so it's just simply trying to appease them in that you get on the military sites to your advantage but that's because replace them with so many factions at play so much anger we've got sectarian divisions as you say as well could perhaps egypt be facing some sort of civil war this has been understood and the word particularly the word dungy has been brandished a lot during the past couple of weeks in anticipation of what's going to happen on that end of join and i think you want to be down situation this situation in egypt

today is fundamentally different to what it was in and what you see a move that's more the kind of. thing about the end of conflict across egyptian society with the interference of one kind of pushing or stick parties and the manager trying to take advantage of situations and you would definitely see how much more detail you're getting security just kind of a situation deteriorating but you want to be on this scale for the civil war because the constituents pointed out aren't there in egypt when you chips in society now call thanks a lot culture of braga focusing on the middle east life here on r.t. thanks for your perspective on this. a special committee has been set up to reform russia's space industry now this news comes less than twenty four hours after an unmanned rocket fell to the ground and exploded at the baikonur cosmodrome just seconds after takeoff it was carrying three satellites meant for russia's global navigation system only artie's medina quote you never gave the full details to my

colleague researcher. 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 product on rocket which was carrying three glow on our satellites now it went out of control moments into launch and then the main part of the rocket just directed 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 while you talk about environmental impact also i suppose the risk to human safety 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 rock at this 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 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 creates is 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 cosmodrome the cause except the weather is clear there are no high winds at the bottom of those 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 isn't 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 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 have up to two hundred million dollars and last and these are huge bigger yeah that's all we've got is a price tag of a dinner 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'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 you fail or another 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. just come up to twenty seven minutes past the hour now more news in just a huff and puff now in the meantime we have the kaiser report. this short break stay with us if you can. 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 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 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 aso 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 skase because managers would not speak english well enough to understand the complex bogus to rid of contracts that these cancers from wall street had successfully pushed on other suckers from around the world yes what don't look for the japanese banks to have avoided jamie diamonds in.
