4:02 am
absolutely and more and more latin american countries are growing outraged after several e.u. states including italy spain portugal and friends. lending to the beleaguered president's aircraft which was heading back home from moscow and was in need of refueling even spain not only denied lending but also demanded searching the aircraft looking for edward snowden something absolutely unprecedented so basically this plane was forced to conduct an emergency landing in austria we've heard from cuba and ecuador they have been saying that this is an unprecedented a major offensive not only against believe you but the entire latin america argentina and who said that they're calling for an emergency summit of all that american countries to discuss this sort of behavior this sort of approach to
4:03 am
a leader of one of the countries in latin america and many many other comments strong criticism are currently coming out of that area of latin america now believe you know authorities are furious themselves we've heard from the country's defense minister was on that plane and he said that by denying the lending to that aircraft you're basically put the ability and president's life in danger our team managed to speak exclusively to the defense minister at the airport in austria let's listen to what else he said. after flight path was initially approved but the spanish authorities contacted us saying we were no longer authorized to land on the territory of a spanish airport initially it was otherwise and we had permission to land at an airport on the canary islands for refueling. we are now still stuck basically in austria waiting for
4:04 am
a nearest very score in order to continue their journey and frankly speaking the plane was already beginning to dangerously run out of fuel so indeed the wife of the believe young president in that way was in danger after the these countries denied landing now the reason why they believed that snowden could be on board about plane that earlier exclusively to our t. the believe in president said his country is ready to provide political asylum to the former n.s.a. contractor why not of course the situation is far from ideal his case is constantly discussed in an international level bolivia is ready to give political asylum to the people who expose. the speakers this is another leader of who seemed sympathetic to snowden and his revelations is the president of venezuela you managed to catch up with him as well here's what he said about the whole situation this young man has to be protected by the international community
4:05 am
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. it's significant how many european countries have reacted to snowden's revelations some of engaged with u.s. authorities demanding an explanation on the latest reports claiming that the n.s.a. has been spying on europe but then when it comes to snowden himself the try to do everything to avoid any possible contact with him even if it means denying lending to presidential aircraft in need of refueling and then closing down the airspace even though the austrian foreign minister confirmed that snowden is not on board of that plane in the meantime snowden's. he took back his political request to russia
4:06 am
after hearing the conditions voiced by a president who said that he could stay but only if he stopped arming washington's image and now snowden is still in that transit limbo staying in the transit zone of should immediately airport where he has been over the past week and the u.s. is still asking for his extradition indeed we already hearing from international analysts who are suspecting that washington is bullying if not threatening european leaders to steer clear of edward snowden however the bullying all the threats not perhaps having the desired effect on leaders in latin america will have to see how it all pans out you got this going off thank you. well in the meantime ecuador has now said that its found of microphones sprinkled around its london embassy mirror days after revelations that the us had physically bugged dozens of the e.u. diplomatic outposts and no but getting a chairman of germany's party of reason he says he's not surprised i think that governments will always use whatever powers they can get their hands on this whole
4:07 am
affair just show a little what happens when government spends out of control whenever you give government power point 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 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 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 now france is at the forefront of the e.u. is a rhetorical offensive against washington surveillance activities officials have even said that a massive trade pact to be negotiated by the atlantic allies could well be sunk by
4:08 am
spying revelations and this report now to watty correspondent 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 the french and e.u. high ranking officials both of home and abroad monitoring millions of emails and
4:09 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 that time there were two signs or two lines today is not certain who is friend and who is rival yes good question if there are friends at all true friends or not sure. france america's nato partner has been supporting its most controversial initiatives over the last decade sharing risks and expenses cost in
4:10 am
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 first for it to end as soon as possible i would see mediately but some doubt that france will go beyond wars in the circus ations believing that paris 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 his 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
4:11 am
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 small this bone of contention and move on or they'll always looked bad. from paris. to eastern promises pakistan of 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 drone strikes. are shifting gears now to egypt where at least sixteen people have been killed more
4:12 am
than two hundred wounded overnight in fierce clashes between pro-government protesters and the riot police in cairo i wouldn't report gunshots near the central university and tear gas being fired at angry crowds and the clashes flared up ahead of president mohammed morsi was televised debate where he rejected any threats to his rule claiming he is the only legitimate leader details now from cairo and r.t. correspondent true. 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 out is being used birdshot bullets a 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 that we're going to see further violence on the rise and particularly off this speech which really has an awful anything feel his opposition to says the president was resolute
4:13 am
he is not resigning he's staying current he said he was democratically elected and therefore the legitimate president he can repeat in this word to dismiss a he said he would call that interesting to see with his life and in the same way as 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 fiction ministries rosemount egypt these leaks to the press and in that were not concrete created a new new constitution so with the president saying they will stick with the old one we 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 say our deadline they gave them to respect the demands of the people otherwise they will intervene to be seeing really the presidency and the army at nova heads directly right now. in cairo and here in the program where you had
4:14 am
a chance to speak to middle east analyst kull shero he says it's a rather easy to understand why people are protesting against the morsi government but he believes the existing opposition in egypt is absolutely no better. do you think tonight was that information on the new one is this here and i'm going to just comment even says nothing has happened during this year a lot of sectarianism not the major kind of negative language from the government then it's had president morsi but same time this guy there now which is almost like a pious eyes almost on the popular demonstrations now on it that's not able to express its demands and if he had wanted the language i'm given to propose reed political platform to move forward for egypt so it's just simply trying to piece them into 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
4:15 am
officials this is an incomplete aberration it's instore tional for 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. i don't while public outrage against the islamist president explodes his supporters have vowed to fight to the end for their leader his policy i want to find out exactly what their motives are. egyptian president mohamed morsy supporters are gathering had not far from the presidential palace you have a headline must have an obvious not just grouping here you have the muslim brotherhood you have the salafist and you also have ordinary egyptians that really supports the hummock morsi you know who i'm here to support business mostly because we have owned the rights to be you know to this day egypt and other people trying to destroy our country but by by strike and by little fight by and by fiat
4:16 am
so i got here to support that at the voting was just one person i know nader's ago saying that his that he get it but is it into these chips that they try to be plan upon is a democracy then they won't they want us to come back to the first of the mubarak. era is most is 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. we're wearing the helmet suit all the entrances to the square with body search everyone the end to this 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 the people here is that
4:17 am
president morsi is a just miss and they are ready to defend him policy our team. and some experts believe the egyptian military is indeed on track to claim power on artie's debate program cross talk could love l o b asking his guests whether an army backed coup could well be imminent a preview of what's to come at a thirty am g m t. two questions i heard 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 money going the way there's a dissenter going to who. 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 are the words that have been uttered in every coup that has ever taken place throughout human history also the words this is not
4:18 am
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. well to the. audience technology innovation all the leaders developments from around russia we've got the future covered. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't i'm tom are marketed as

a job of the german president i'm glad merkel labeled it as europeans are europe's most pressing problem and twenty leaders will be meeting in berlin to thrash out ways to combat the issue but german trade unions think not enough is being done to get young people back to work they're planning protests in response now although they're used in other countries are struggling to even get the qualifications they need to build a future as artie's are integral 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 but 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 asked me 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 man in the last six or seven years we had. diminished twenty

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 is a very slim chance to get a solid long term contract so i'll be looking for other ways to make money at. the displacement is something students seem to share with the faculty who have an equally dismayed perception of the situation. but i feel quite awkward talking about it but we the professors have really felt the strain we haven't had a cell arrays 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't afford the occasion 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
