1:01 am
a very good morning to you from all of us here at r.t. moscow now it just after nine am here. with the worldwide headlines. bolivia's are crying foul after a number of european states refused to let a plane carrying its president their air space all because of rumors that surveillance whistleblower edward snowden may have been on board let's get more on this now across live to watch as you go to prison offer more on this a. good morning many are saying this is all going just a little bit too far denying refuse for an elected president. every day this story just gets more interesting now the president of bolivia was heading back home from the major gas suppliers summit in moscow and then when his plane needed refueling then portugal and france denied lending it actually reached
1:02 am
a point when the plane began dangerously running out of fuel and they had to conduct an emergency landing in austria france and first said that it was due to technical reasons but then it turned out that it was because of the rumors that edward snowden may be on board despite the bolivians claiming otherwise and actually even after the austrian foreign minister confirms that the former n.s.a. contractor is not on that plane several european countries including spain closed down their airspace for the plane to continue its journey so now even morales is actually stranded in austria waiting for an airspace corridor to continue his journey while speaking another absolutely unprecedented thing they've asked to inspect his plane themselves in order to provided this space corridor through their air space so this story is just getting more bizarre every hour basically and what's also interesting is that many european officials have reacted to snowden's
1:03 am
revelations as some have engaged with the west demanding explanations over the latest reports that the n.s.a. has been spying on europe but nevertheless many are still trying to avoid any contact with snored him by all possible means even all the way up to the point when the lead into a presidential aircraft in need of refueling now libyans are outraged because he's defense minister who was on board of that plane said that the europeans have put the president's life in danger we've heard from several latin american countries including cuba and ecuador and they say that this is an unprecedented fence. against. the entire latin america one of the reasons why france and portugal me have thought that snowden or was on board the plane is because earlier exclusively to or she said that his country was ready to provide political asylum to edward
1:04 am
snowden. why not 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 activities so to speak. another leader of. the seems to be sympathetic to snowden and his revelations is the president of venezuela and our team managed to catch up with him as well here's what he said on the whole situation around the former n.s.a. contractor 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 it even on your own allies if snowden stays alone he will be destroyed by protecting snowden we will protect peace. i have to stress though that both venezuela and bolivia
1:05 am
say that they still haven't received in the fischel requests for political asylum from mr snowden he did retract his request from russia after hearing the conditions voiced by president vladimir putin said that snowden could stay if you wanted to but then he would have to stop working against washington he also sent out a request to twenty other nations ten of them have already officially rejected including brazil and india and eight e.u. member states they say that under their rules or all applicants for political asylum have to be on their territory and since no one has been inside that transit zone actually most of the airports for the past week they're not able to even begin processing the request in the meantime the a list of potential countries where snowden good to get political asylum is getting shorter the u.s. is still asking for his extradition while moscow is claims that they're not planning to pass and more recently see him as
1:06 am
a human rights activist. and they don't see it possible extradite him to the u.s. where they still use the death penalty but well for edward snowden the still means this transit limbo continues for now absolutely snowden's limbo does continue and what it what a turning of the tide so you go to leaders around the world particularly europe at first hailing him as a hero for his his leaks is there of this information of america's espionage and spying programs around the world now suddenly they don't want to go anywhere near him essentially whatever the games are behind closed doors in washington d.c. they're being pretty effective at the deadly piece going to thank you. and the latest we have here at r.t. ecuador has now found a microphone sprinkled around its london embassy merely days after revelations that the us had physically bugged dozens of diplomatic outposts i know but gang the chairman of germany's party of reason he said he's not surprised i think that governments will always use whatever powers they can get their hands on this whole
1:07 am
affair just show a little what happens when government spins out of control whenever you give government power point more of it too 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 what the government can do the government will eventually do and once again shows how important it is to fight to to go against this use of power and france is at the forefront of the e.u. as a rhetorical offensive against washington surveillance activities officials have even
1:08 am
said that a massive trade pact to be negotiated by the atlantic allies could well be sunk by spying revelations this report to oddities maria financial. no lice between elyse no privileges for the ones 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 state 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 u.s. national security agency has carried out covert surveillance on french and e.u. high ranking officials both of home and abroad monitoring millions of emails and
1:09 am
calls blogger and internet freedom fighters and mark 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 are 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. at least it was clear at the time there were two sides two lines today it's not certain who is friend who is rival there's good question if there are friends at all true friends not sure it is. france america's nato partner has been supporting its most controversial initiatives over the last decade sharing
1:10 am
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 result ready a sufficient amount of elements for us to ask for an explanation what will be the consequences firstly for it to end as soon as possible i would see mediately but some doubt that france will go beyond wars in the second is ations believing that paris will continue to dance to america's cheering. we think alone should start in negotiations over the free trade zone but we sure he's not going to do this because he's key logic is to keep good relations with the us. and this is a big problem for europe even humiliated and violated by america we still want to have special relations with this country. france has demanded a clarification from the us but has so far been denied an answer this is one of
1:11 am
thousands of cameras we can see around perry's 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 un ordinary citizens the reaction has been more vocal when politicians and diplomats found themselves in the spotlight and overweight big surveillance system it's too early to say whether paris and washington will ever be able to small disposing of contention and move on or they'll always look bad. otty from paris. and other things coming here live from moscow with eastern promises for pakistan and 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 drones. and at least sixteen people have been killed
1:12 am
and more than two hundred wounded overnight in fierce clashes between pro-government protesters and riot police in the egyptian capital eyewitnesses report gunshots near cairo university and tear gas fired to disperse angry crowds 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 of the latest details 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 conscious this is escalated now with protesters fighting the police said take as 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 and particularly on this speech which really hasn't offered anything feel for the
1:13 am
opposition forces the president was resolute he is not resigning he's staying friends he said he was democratically elected and therefore the legitimate president he can repeat this word is dismissing and he said he would call that interesting to see with his life and in his 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 into fifteen minute trees rosemount egypt these leaks to the press in that were not concrete created a new threat 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 otherwise they will intervene to be seeing really the presidency and the army and noga heads directly
1:14 am
right now. reporting from cairo we spoke to middle east analyst culture he says it's easy to understand why people are protesting against the morsi government but he believes the existing oprah zisha in egypt is no better. do you think tonight was that information on the new one is this here and i'm going to just print 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 this time they're now which is almost. upon us eyes almost on the popular demonstrations are full of it that's not able to express its demands and if you want to can languish i'm able to propose reed political platform to move one forward for egypt so it's just simply trying to be submitted to get on the military sites to confront swished but ultimately the process if it went culminates in the army taking over and simply giving ultimatums to elected officials this is an incomplete aberration it's in store shelf democracy
1:15 am
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. and while public outrage against the islamist president explodes his supporters of vowed to fight to the end for that meta audience policy they want to find out exactly what their motives might pay. egypt's and president mohamed morsy supporters are gathering has not far from the presidential palace but you have a headline with mustard and obviously on this groupings here you have the muslim brotherhood you have the salafist manuals that have ordinary egyptians are not really supposed to hummock morsi you know who i'm here to support business mostly because they have owned the rights to be you know to this to egypt and other people trying to destroy our country but by by strike and by little fight by and by fiat
1:16 am
so i can hear the support that is the morsi was just one person oh narrators go see i have his that he 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 man with helmets and sticks preparing for a showdown why are you here with the helmets and the best to. have a question in the heart of the. wearing the helmet said all the entrances to the square we 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 very very careful and be very deep 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. well thank you for
1:17 am
joining us here on our to today i'm rory sushi and now unemployment reaching record highs across europe the details after the break. egypt on the brink mohamed morsi and his democratically elected muslim brotherhood face massive protests in social upheaval as one revolution ended in another started opposition figures have asked the military to step in to restore order if the military again becomes the key power broker in egypt what does this mean for democracy in the arab muslim world. speak your language.

1:19 am
a planning protests in response although the youth in other countries are struggling to even get the qualifications they need to build a future as i found out in. italy was one for thing. because philosophers and artists known for its own universities and schools now however the tables have turned as more and more students choose not to receive higher education for the simple reason of not being able to afford it and i couldn't make say no one but the government is to blame the country's national university council estimates in roman to italy universities dropped by nearly sixty thousand applicants in ten years that's equivalent to losing an institution the size of the university of new lawn in the last six or seven years we had. diminished from twenty percent. to the access to university. twenty percent in five years that meet young people understand that even if they

displacement is something students seem to share with the faculty who have an equally dismount perception of the situation. but i feel quite awkward talking about. but we the professor is really felt the strain we haven't had a similar raise in a decade but we have it easy and can't complain in comparison to the students in normal families who don't think of hyde occasion as a stepping stone for the future it's no longer considered a worthy investment and a lot of families can't afford the fees for a country with a glorious past where times people were literally ready to die for knowledge this trend does not bode well for a bright future in rome in a go school r.t. . it's good to have you with us here on our team today as islamists tighten the screws in war torn syria a muslim women in the name biggest city could now get in trouble for the way they dress and the prospect of sharia law rears its head those details this hour on the

web site right now. and the ups and downs of space travel you can watch the shocking footage of a russian rocket crashing to literally seconds off the launch and also find out what might have caused the accident also what r.t. dot com for this hour right now. it is not a surprise to me that we've got problems in guantanamo during a time of budget cuts we spend one hundred fifty billion dollars each year to imprison one hundred sixty six people get more it's become a symbol around the world for america that. ok so maybe it's time for the update for now though the latest u.s. drone strike has killed at least sixteen suspected militants in pakistan but often civilians can be found among the dead after these attacks and that's causing a rapid deterioration in relations between the countries so stepping into the void
