latin america is livid the e.u. states refuse their airspace and demand to search the bolivian president's jet. may have been smuggling whistleblower edward snowden to safety. egypt's ongoing political crisis leads to more bloodshed on the streets of the capital cairo the president says he is the legitimate leader though in defiance of an ultimatum by the army sparking fears of a military coup could be imminent. youth unemployment reaches another high across europe is unions and the e.u.'s economic powerhouse germany take to the streets in protest of government action.

good morning from moscow where it's now a just after eleven. world headlines and intercontinental scandal is a rupture in europe where the president's jet was forced to ground after being denied a space causing it to run low on fuel a furious latin america is vowing a response calling the situation and offensive reportedly it all happened because e.u. states believe the jet may have been smuggling whistleblower edward snowden out of moscow. now reports on the mile high asylum. so the president of bolivia evo morales was flying back home after this major gas supplier summit in moscow and when his plane needed refueling event france denied lending it first they said it was due to technical reasons but then it turned out it was due

to rumors that edward snowden may have been on board so the aircraft the aircraft staff asked other countries for assistance including portugal italy and spain and they denied landing as well and actually could reach the point when the aircraft began dangerously running out of fuel and they had to make a landing in austria but spain also demanded that the be allowed to check the aircraft for snowden something absolutely unprecedented this approach in dealing with a presidential aircraft so at this moment even morale is still stranded in austria waiting for an ace air space corridor or to continue his journey now and this is all happening despite the austrian foreign minister confirming that snowden is not on board that plane the bolivians are absolutely outraged the country's defense minister full is on board that plane says that the europeans have put the president's

a life in danger with her from several latin american states including cuba and ecuador they call this an unprecedented massive offense against not only believe year but the entire latin america and argentina and who are now talking about holding a major latin american states a summit to discuss this whole incident now it's interesting that many european officials are reacting to snowden's revelations some have engaged with the west demanding explanations over the latest reports that the n.s.a. has been spying on europe but then on the other hand many are trying to avoid any contact with snowden whatsoever even reaching the point when the denial lending to a presidential aircraft in need of refueling or are demanding to search the aircraft but one of the reasons why. the thought that snowden could have been on the plane is because earlier exclusively to our t. even morales said that his country was ready to provide political asylum to edward

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 exposed to the so to speak this is another leader who is who seems to be sympathetic to snowden and his revelations is the president of venezuela in order to manage 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 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 have to stress though that all of venezuela and bolivia say that they still haven't received an official request for political asylum from mr snowden he did retract his request from russia after hearing the

conditions voiced by the president vladimir putin said that snowden could stay if you wanted to but then he would have to stop working against washington the u.s. is still asking for his extradition while moscow's claims that are what they're not planning to pass and more recently see him as a human rights activist. and they don't see a possible actuating him to the u.s. where they still use the death penalty but well for edward snowden this still means this transit limbo continues for now. you got to kind of i spoke to him just a bit earlier in the program here on c.n.n. in the meantime ecuador has now found microphones sprinkled around its london embassy there days after revelations that the u.s. had physically bugged dozens of e.u. diplomatic outposts but gang the chairman of germany's party of reason he says he's not surprised adding that governments will always use whatever powers they can get their hands on this whole affair just show

a little what happens when government spins out of control whenever you give government power point or i'm michel martin our government will use that power and turn it around and use it against their own people and use it against their their allies and there will definitely i think there will definitely be a fallout 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 carmen 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 now france is at the forefront of the e.u.'s rhetorical offensive against washington surveillance activities officials have even said that a massive trade pact being negotiated by the atlantic allies could well be going

down the drain over the spying revelations of this report now to tease maria phenomena. no lice between elyse no privileges for the ones proven false fronts has been so furious of america's in couldn't spy 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 us 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

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 stefan 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 role most nothing. just or 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 if your. friends america's nato partner has been supporting 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 there is already 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 stations believing that perry's will continue to dance to america's tune we think alone should stop only goshi ations 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 usa 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

thousands of cameras that 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 un ordinary citizens the reaction has been more vocal when politicians and diplomats found themselves in the spotlight and of a way bigger surveillance system it's too early to say whether paris and washington will ever be able to swallow this bone of contention and move on or they'll always look bad written off ati from paris. it's a time of the hours we come. here and talk. of the nation focuses on building relations with china the u.s. . in the wake of a wave of unaccountable drone strikes. are

for now in the program at least sixteen people have been killed and more than two hundred wounded overnight in fierce clashes between pro-government protesters and the riot police in the egyptian capital i witnessed this report gunshots near cairo university and tear gas being used to disperse the crowds and the clashes flared up ahead of president mohamed morsi is televised debate where he rejected any threats to his rule claiming that he is the legitimate leader of the latest details from cairo. we've had clashes between supporters and opponents of the president and here in the capital very violent civilian and civilian crashes this escalated now with protesters fighting the police said take out is being used birdshot bullets a handmade guns and weapons so we're already seeing an escalating violence and tensions across the country this in the background of violence the leader has been leading up to these nationwide protests people have fearing they're going to see further violence on the rise in particularly on the speech which really hasn't

offered anything feel for the opposition forces 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 in this word is dismissing and he said he would call that a dismissive with his knife and in his saying was he said his will is the will of the people another sticking point that he mentions 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 complete we did a need for a new constitution so with the president saying it 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 forty eight hour 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

no heads directly right now. there in cairo now we did have a chance to speak to middle east analyst culture he says it's easy to understand why people are protesting against the morsi government however he believes the existing opposition in egypt is no better. do you think tonight was not a mason the new one is this here and i'm going to miss it many people says and i think it's happening during this year a lot of sectarianism and i think that's kind of i think it's not which from the government but it's had president morsi the same time this tie their shoes on last night i find outside almost on the popular demonstrations not on it that's not on the table to express it's the mind and if you want to deny this i'm given to the poorest the political not for him to move forward for he did so they said simply trying to the beast in the to get to the major sites to confront. but ultimately the process it would come innate in the army taking over and simply giving

ultimatums to right and left to go fishing was this is an open seat of variation its institutions of democracy and so i think that's not something the senate race and i think there's a danger in this i'm kind of becoming and all the fun trolls here good not ends up somehow being distorted and some undermining elected officials. find out while public outrage against the islamist president explodes his supporters a valve to fight to the and then data is pointless they went to meet them and find out exactly what their motives are. egypt's in president mohamed morsy supporters are gathering had not far from the presidential palace you haven't even lived must've been 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 i'm here to support a business mostly because you have owned the rights to be you know to have this dinkel idea egypt and other people trying to destroy our country but by by

strike and by by by and by fiat so i can here to support the forty was just one person i know never to go see i hear the you get president will be easy if they try to be plan upon the democracy then they won't because they want us to come back to firstly 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 timbs ok ok well i have a question on the heart of the. wearing the helmet said all the entrances to the square the body search everyone the end to some security area sometimes the thugs hired by the national democratic party used to attack us with rocks and shotguns and we need to protect us so. you have to be very very careful and be very deep for

any. bad situations the message from people here is that president morsi is had just missed and they are ready to defend him policy our team. and some experts believe the egyptian military is on track to claim power on our t.v. debate program cross talk people of al asks his guests whether an army backed coup may indeed be imminent is a preview of what's to come later this hour here on the program. there are 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 moderate of the world as it is it all again. brian right well when the military is coming in and taking a level of authority away from a democratically elected regime then 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 have been 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 stared through that transition. egypt on the brink mohamed morsi and he was democratically elected muslim brotherhood faced massive protests in social upheaval as one revolution ended in

another started opposition figures have passed 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. do we speak your language as i mean from a deal or not a dance. music program some documentary some spanish what matters to you breaking news i want to turn to angles stories. for you here. in troy i'll teach spanish find out more visit. tito it's combe. still a cross talk on the world update to come for you this hour for now though. the latest figures show that youth unemployment in europe has reached a new record high more than twenty three percent of all people have no job and the

german president eichler merkel has labeled it as the european union's most pressing problem and twenty e.u. leaders were meeting to thrash out ways to combat the issue with german trade unions think not enough is being done to get young people back to work they're planning protests in response of other youth in other countries are struggling to even get the qualifications they need to build a future as artie's or an ecological found out in italy. italy was once an abode for thinkers philosophers and artists known for its 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 academics 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 mon in the last six or

seven years we had. diminished twenty percent. to the access to university you are coming with twenty percent in five years they meet young people understand that even if they go to university they would not find a job propped up on the scaffolding art history student and restore to reset continues from work even during our interview for her long working hours aren't a burden but a blessing. it's very difficult to combine work and school i used to spend four hours just getting to work but i can't come. i'm actually very lucky that i got this opportunity because it's hard to find a job as it is and since tradition fees have gone up i have to have a job otherwise it's impossible to continue with school although it's early and are considered to be synonomous with one another to resist as an art historian like her

is likely to be doing something entirely different after graduation. and this my specialty is restoration i'm going to get a diploma yet i will look for a job in other fields as it's hardly possible to get a job in this area there's a very slim chance to get a solid long term contract so i'll be looking for other ways to make money. the displacement is something students seem to share with the faculty who have an equally distant perception of the situation. there but i feel quite awkward talking about it but we've the professors have really felt the strain we haven't had a cellular raise in a decade but we have it easy and can't complain in comparison to the students and 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 afford the occasional 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 party. screws in a war torn syria a muslim woman in the nation's biggest city could get in trouble for the way they dress as the prospect of sharia law rears its head all those details right now at r.t. dot com for you. also while you're there you can find out about the ups and downs of space travel and look at this. shocking footage of a russian rocket crashing to earth literally seconds after the launch investigations under way find out what the investigators say. this 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 did most become a symbol around the world for america.

thanks for joining us here on r.t. today at the latest u.s. drone strike has killed at least twenty three suspected militants in northwestern pakistan and the use of unmanned killing machines is long caused outrage in a country where civilians are often the victims of the strikes led to a rapid deterioration in relations between the former allies as law and washington stepping into the void now china which is working to win the hearts and minds of pakistanis. catherine off looks at the blossoming relationship. god. mandarin chinese it may be one of the hardest languages to learn but it's the most popular course at this school and islamic 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 around eight thousand pakistani students are already studying in china and this group is planning to join them some years before. people. want to go to america and another country or to endorse a model or study as it were trying to right now. stands game. and really rewarding. because of the broader risk making in. investing 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 for 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. if you. told. your friend over. and when it comes to pakistan's other friend in superpower the united states. what is going through and

that's a common view here and according to a recent pew research survey nine in ten pakistanis describe china as a partner seventy four percent said they see the u.s. as an enemy pakistanis are by and large through china by and large and because the feel. that china has never been. a constant. feeling that you know the u.s. is just there's this. things up without i think 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 break the bank that china will play a key role in shaping their future. bardsley is ahmad focused on. or before we get across to get into the world update now here on r.t. starting with canadian police that arrested two people suspected of plotting an

attack in british columbia during canada day the man and woman were allegedly planning to adopt the tactics of that sort of those who are believed to be behind the boston marathon blasts police say that appears to be no support or involvement from any known terror groups on the plot was apparently unassisted. and to libya where an armed group has forced the closure of the interior ministry demanding the resignation of the minister and they say they want the army and police to be in charge of the country's security not the militias and this comes after a series of similar incidents in april gunmen surrounded the foreign ministry demanding a ban on officials from any government jobs before that in january the head of the country's parliament survived an assassination attempt. a six point one magnitude earthquake has hit the island of sumatra in northeastern indonesia killing at least twenty two people rescuers believe many others are still trapped

under debris indonesia is located in one of the most seismically active regions in the world a quake measuring nine point one off the somali coast in two thousand and four of course that caused a tsunami which killed more than two hundred thousand people around the indian ocean with indonesia bearing the brunt. well with the ongoing turmoil in egypt up ahead for you crosstalk now looking at the gyptian on me is it poised to stage a military coup in the capital the argument with crosstalk is next.

i would rather i asked questions to people in positions of power instead of speaking on their behalf and that's why you can find my show larry king now right here on r.t. question more. this is not a surprise to me that we've got problems and one time during a time of budget cuts we spend one hundred and fifty million dollars each year to imprison one hundred sixty six people did most become a symbol around the world for an america that while it's the rule of law i'm. just so.
