good morning from moscow. just after eight am in the russian capital straight to our headlines for you right now believe it was left outraged after a number of european states refused to let a plane carrying its president. space all because of rumors that surveillance was a blow edward snowden may have been on board let's get more on this right now of course live to watch this going off more on this. good morning to you isn't this all going just a little bit too far i mean here we are basically denying refueling to an elected president. well absolutely evil morales was flying back home from the major gas supplier summit in moscow on his plane and when it needed refueling portugal and france denied landing and actually did reach

a point when the plane began dangerously of running out of fuel and they had to conduct an emergency landing in austria and france of first said that it was due to technical reasons but then it was then it turned out that it was because of rumors that edward snowden may be on board something which is denied by. the president's staff and people on the plane it's actually confirmed by the austrian foreign minister that snowden is not on that plane nevertheless italy closed down its airspace for the same plane for the second quarter of its journey now believe ians are absolutely outraged in fact that the country's defense minister is on that plane he says that the europeans have actually placed the president's life in danger and also many latin american countries are outraged by the whole situation as well but what's even more interesting is that all of this has happened despite so many european officials obviously actively in reacting to snowden's

revelations and while they are really in gauging with american authorities over the latest revelations that the n.s.a. has been spying on european officials doing that demanding explanations and song but in reality it turns out that these countries are doing everything possible to avoid. having to do anything with him whatsoever even if it means lending for refueling of a presidential plane now one of the reasons why these rumors began that snowden may be on that plane is because earlier in an exclusive interview to our t.v. the libyan president said he was going to was ready to provide political asylum to the former n.s.a. contractor. no of course the situation is far from ideal his case is constantly discussed on an international level bolivia is ready to give political asylum to the people who expose spying and so to speak have you received

a request for asylum i expecting months you know but if we receive a request we're willing to consider it and enter into discussions. another leader of course seems very sympathetic also to mr snowden and his revelations is the president of venezuela and r.t. also managed to catch up with him. this young man has to be protected by the international community he dead we've dignity to tell the world that there are mechanisms to spy on it even on your own allies if snowden stays alone he will be destroyed by protecting snowden we will protect peace. i do have to stress though that both venezuela and bolivia said that they still haven't received an official request for political asylum from mr snowden at the same time he retracted his asylum request to russia after hearing conditions voiced

by president putin said that snowden could steve he wanted but then he'd have to start working against washington he did send out requests to twenty other countries where ten of them have already officially rejected including india and brazil and eight e.u. member states who are saying that under their walls all applicants have to be on their territory and since snowden has been inside that transit of transit zone off limits of our airport then technically they're not able to begin processing these requests and nevertheless washington is still calling for his extradition moscow did say they're not planning to do so since the c. snowden as a human rights activist they don't see it possible passing him over to the west where the death penalty is still actively used but for him the a list of the countries where he could potentially go is definitely becoming shorter and while

there's a definition of this all issue of many just trying to avoid him all together what we see from this latest incident words of the believe in president aircraft yeah indeed you go we're seeing such a turning of the tides here many international analysts saying it's remarkable how so many european countries at first were open to welcoming edward snowden hailing him as a hero but now they don't want to touch him with a ten foot. paula many saying washington must be living some severe threats some of these are european leaders and other leaders around the world as well so still this continues to play out with whistleblower edward snowden has gone off thank you. well in the meantime a acquittal has found microphones sprinkled around its london embassy mere days after revelations of the us had physically bugged dozens of e.u. diplomatic outposts but gang chairman of germany's party of reason says he's not surprised at him that governments will always use whatever powers they've given

this whole affair just show a little what happens when government spends out of control whenever you give government power points or so much our government will use that power and turn it around and use it against their own people and use it against their and their allies and there will definitely i think there will definitely be a fallout from from this affair what the fallout will be we don't know yet but the question is not why was germany or why was this or the other country a target it just shows that whenever a government has the possibility to do something it will use that possibility what government will what the government can do what the government will eventually do and once again shows how important it is to fight that and to to go against this use of power. you're a craton public figures are like a demanding answers from the u.s. or at least justification for why it was spying on europeans on mass of the feeling

of betrayal is so strong even proposed trade pact between the two allies is now under threat this report to r.t. is maria from russia. no lice between allies no privileges for the one's proven false fronts has been so furious of america's in couldn't spying that it's almost straightforwardly rejected the e.u. us years long project the world's biggest free trade zone now we have this political and diplomatic debate is it normal that one states united states with the help of the united kingdom takes the ability to spy on every communications all over the world there's a lot of people who tend to think that not normal that's not morally and politically justified according to recent leaks of the us national security agency has carried out covert surveillance on the french and e.u. high ranking officials both of home and abroad monitoring millions of emails and

calls blogger and internet freedom fighters and musk says paes have always existed but the way the game is played has been transformed what is interesting it's to figure that the n.s.a. doesn't spy on people only for terrorism to fight terrorism but also for political and also economical reasons because we know that they're using this spying system to help american companies steffanie used to work as a journalist in the soviet union at the time of the cold war he says he has an impression that nothing has changed since then or almost nothing france america's nato partner has been support in its most controversial initiatives over the last decade sharing risks and expenses cost in both money and human lives. we're asking for confirmation or if i'm asian of it so as not to prejudge it but the roots already a sufficient amount of elements for us to ask for an explanation what will be the

consequence and sort of course first for it to end as soon as possible i would see immediately but some doubt that france will go beyond wars in the circulations believing that paris will continue to dance to america's tune france has demanded a clarification from the u.s. but has so far been denied an answer this is one of thousands of cameras we can see around paris and it can see us one the government is using for security reasons france may not be a world leader on the list of big brothers but even these has sparked a tense discussion here over freedom and privacy violation of an ordinary citizens the reaction has been more vocal when politicians and diplomats found themselves in the spotlight and all the way big surveillance system it's too early to say whether paris and washington will ever be able to small this bone of contention and move on or they'll always look bad. otty from paris.

or ten minutes past the hour we're coming to you live from moscow and eastern promise for pakistan the nation focuses on building relations with china as the u.s. turns from friend or foe in the wake of a wave of unaccountable deadly drugs drugs. for another would least sixteen people have been killed and more than two hundred wounded overnight in fierce clashes between pro-government protesters and riot police in the egyptian capital eyewitnesses reported gunshots new cairo university and tear gas fired to disperse angry crowds a clashes flared up ahead of president mohamed morsi was televised debate where he rejected any threats to his rule claiming he is the legitimate leader details now from cairo and artie's beltran. we've had clashes between supporters and opponents of the president and here in the capital very violent civilian and civilian crashes this is escalated now with protesters fighting the police said take out is being

used birdshot bullets handmade guns and weapons so we're already seeing escalating violence and tensions across the country this is the background of the violence the leader this has been leading up to these nationwide protests people are fearing they're going to see further violence on the rise in particularly on the speech which really hasn't offered anything fuel his opposition to says the president was resolute he is not resigning he's staying correct he said he was democratically elected and therefore the legitimate president he can repeat this word to dismiss a he said he would call that interesting to see with his life and he saying was he said his will is the will of the people another sticking point that he mentioned which will cause conflict between him and the opposition forces and also the army is under the constitution he said we must stick by the phone she made already drafted in tips in ministries rosemount egypt these leaks to the press in that were not concrete created a new threat of a new constitution so with the president saying they will stick with the old woman

expect to see conflict between him and the army as well as the opposition forces here waiting for reaction from the army because this is directly conflicting with that to see how a deadline they gave them to respect the demands of the people and otherwise they will intervene to be seeing really the presidency and the army at nova heads directly right now. reporting that now we did manage to speak to middle east analyst our culture he says it's easy to understand why people are protesting against the morsi government however it believes the existing opposition in egypt is no better. so you seem to never lose that information when the new one is this popular anger listen and even says nothing has happened during this year a lot of sectarianism not the budget kind of negative language from the government then it's had president morsi but same time there's the other eleven which is almost. upon us eyes almost on the popular demonstrations now calling it that's not

able to express its demands in a clear political language i'm able to propose reed political platform to move one forward for egypt so it's just simply trying to appease them in the to get on the military sites to confront. but ultimately the process if it went culminate in the army taking over and simply giving ultimatums to elected officials this is an incomplete aberration it's instore shin 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 then ends up undermining elected officials. and i while the public outrage against the islamist president explodes his supporters so vile to fight to the and for their leader policy i want to find out exactly what their motives might be. egyptian president mohamed morsy supporters are gathering has not far from the presidential palace but you have a good line of mustard and obviously honest groupings here you have the muslim

brotherhood you have the salafist manuals that have ordinary egyptians really supposed one hundred morsi you know who i'm here to support a businessman should be good to have owned the rights to be and that is this nickel in egypt and other people trying to destroy our country like by by strike and by motor told by by and by fiat so i can hear the support that is that morsi was just one person i know needed to go see i hear that you get it but is it into these if they try to be plan upon the democracy then they won't because they want us to come back to the first of the mubarak determined hero is most he's made on every way men with helmets and sticks preparing for a showdown why are you here with the helmets and the battens ok ok well i have a question on the heart of the left that we're wearing the helmet said all the

entrances to the square the body search everyone the enters and secure the area sometimes the thugs hired by the national democratic party used to attack us with rocks and shotguns and we need to protect ourselves. you have to be building a dedicated phone and the video ready for any. bad situations and the message from people here is that president morsi is he just missed and they are ready to defend him policy our team time and. in the meantime some experts believe the gyptian military is on track to claim power nazis' the fight show cross talk of piddle of al is asking his guests whether an army backed coup could be imminent is a preview of what's to come out that'll be coming your way on r.t. at seven thirty am g.m.t. . the two questions i had on the one was do you think that this will actually be a coup or just a means of transition by other means and also what about the the model of the world as it is. brian right well when the military is coming in and taking

a level of authority away from a democratically elected regime that meets my standard of a coup we can call put lipstick on a pig and say it's a transitionary phase or but i think of those are the words that have been uttered in every coup that has ever taken place throughout human history also the words this is not a coup have been said in every all i'll take the power and i'll give it back to you maybe in the future ok sounds like algeria to me one hundred ninety two in two thousand and eleven i don't think that we have a reason not to trust that the military will do the generals until we did a remarkably good job in my opinion given the challenges that he faced when he was head of the army into those eleven and he steered through that transition. hard across talking seven thirty am g.m.t. here on our finale new figures show the youth on employment in europe has reached a new record high more than twenty three percent of the people are left without

work or german president has labeled it as the european union's most pressing concern and twenty e.u. leaders will be meeting in berlin to thrash out ways to combat the issue of german trade unions think not enough is being done to get young people back to work and are planning protests in response and other nations are being far worse hit as artie's over nicolas go out in italy. i come true with a glorious past and a very uncertain future the word crisis has been used so often in recent years with an e.u. nations that it may have lost all meaning but recent elections in italy have shown a total collapse of might in one steerage the measures which were supposed to yank the country out of economical yet didn't achieve much other than create division and uncertainty right there for everybody understand that we have a deep crisis and no. proposition

from the side of the power they have no position ok now you have to make sacrifice . look fights are very serious we have. seven eight million families not going to go to the last days of the month with their. new terrible situation two trillion euro that's the amount of italy's national debt threatening to force entire cities to declare bankruptcy tax hikes pay cuts sporadic corruption scandals and youth unemployment at over thirty percent these are the top of the list of reasons italians say they have lost faith in country's politicians and that is largely wife february's elections were described as a victory for better agree of those five star party a movement which positions itself against everything italian politicians have done or said in the last two decades different italy will change the position. regarding

europe for instance this will influence a very largely the european politics that means the equilibrium. political life is very important not only for italy but for or you italy is european union's third strongest economy thus any small storm in the country may pretend a tempest for europe putting the future of the euro at stake some analysts say the e.u. states may share common currency and enjoy open borders their attitude towards one another is infused with discord for the moment it has been yes. well we could do a much much more you know by agreeing among countries under financial attack with being so disparagingly called pigs. it's not pigs it's it's financial attack it's a private attack this is the reality of this called euro crisis italians headed to

the polling stations desperate for a leader who could bring back stability and prosperity the nation once enjoyed but the results seemed to show unity only in the resoundingly no to this territory measures put in place by mario monti begging the question just what kind of future is in store for the euro zone. in rome even r.t. . we'll get to the outside world update shortly here on the program for now though is limited tighten the screw in war torn syria a muslim women in the nation's biggest city could now get in trouble for the way they dress with the prospect of sharia law rears its head details at this hour. of space travel you can watch the spectacular footage of a russian rocket crashing to earth literally seconds off the launch and find out what might have caused the accident those details this. is not a surprise to me that we've got problems and during

a time of budget cuts we spend one hundred fifty billion dollars each year to imprison one hundred sixty six people did most become a symbol around the world for america but. thanks for joining us here and he said today in a public show of its priorities pakistan's prime minister has picked china for its first official overseas trip since taking office back in may of the two nations are building their friendship with the oriental powerhouse winning the hearts and minds of pakistanis. found out why people there are giving their sympathies to the. god. mandarin chinese it may be one of the hardest languages to learn but it's the most popular course at this school in islamabad teachers here say in rome and in chinese classes has more than tripled in the past three years some of the students

are hoping for a job with a chinese company in pakistan others hope to go to china to further their education university courses there cost a few thousand dollars compared to the tens of thousands charged by american and british colleges forget harvard or can bridge for some of these young pakistanis china is replacing the west if i am going to learn what to do and if i were learning chinese i like stern and that china would have a good friendship do. each other in difficult times around eight thousand pakistani students are already studying in china and this group is planning to join them some years before boxing people. want to go to america and another country or to endorse a model or study as it were trying to go right now. james game time is gone and you miss dear. their money in pakistan to do. business so

that's why. i wanted to get a job with chinese people. and really rewarding. because of the product which i was good at making in. infrastructure work. the water poured in baluchistan province is one of beijing's many large scale infrastructure projects it gives china access to the arabian sea commercially and if need be militarily china builds two nuclear power plants here and is contracted to build two more. beijing is pakistan's main arms supplier and the two countries are jointly developing this fighter jet. but for most pakistanis china's influence is felt in more practical ways in their wallets and at the local markets and while pakistan's main trading partner is still the european union trade between china and pakistan surpassed twelve billion dollars for the first time last year and thanks to

a free trade agreement signed in two thousand and six chinese consumer products have flooded pakistan and they're impossible to miss almost everything sold at this shopping center is made in china the cheap imports have been blamed for hurting some local industries but many of the shopkeepers we met were happy with the way business was going. through people. who returned through a five year. old. road to be a friend of her. and when it comes to pakistan's other friend and superpower the united states. while it is more of a good thing and that's a common view here according to a recent pew research survey nine in ten pakistanis describe china as a partner well seventy four percent said they see the u.s. as an enemy pakistanis are by and large both china by and large anti-american because the feel. that china has never been. a constant.

feeling that you know the u.s. is just. coming smash things up without the god for the consequences but most of these students aren't motivated by politics rather still hope for better opportunities they may not know exactly what changes the coming years will bring with the betting that china will play a key role in shaping their future. bardsley monopod focused on getting our structure the off the world update now starting with the canadian police arrested two people suspected of plotting an attack in british columbia during canada day the man and woman who were allegedly planning to adopt the tactics of the brothers who are believed to be behind the boston marathon blasts police say there appears to be no support or involvement of any known terror groups in the plot was unassisted. a bus trip has ended in tragedy close to peruse
