news live from moscow this is a nasty with me you national power thanks for joining us. fascinating to continental scandal is erupting in europe where they believe in presidents chattels forced to ground up to being denied as space and ultimately such but also if you're a slash in america is vowing a response calling this issue a short humiliating and offensive the jet is now out of bounds again these lintels reportedly provoked by rumors that whistleblower edward snowden may have been on the flight that's now cross live. with more on the mile high asylum drama hello there you go or so the plane was all but forced to ground and even searched what's the reaction. this has grown into
7:02 am
a true intercontinental scandal transatlantic scandal between the european and latin america since evolution president was heading back home from moscow to believe he was supposed to land in spain for refueling but then was denied landing by spain and at least three other countries since they thought that edward snowden was on board so as a result the plane was allowed to conduct an emergency landing in austria but only after it began a dangerously a running out of fuel we were able to find what seems to be a recording of the conversation between the believing pilots and the air traffic controller at the airport in austria let's listen in. do you need any assistance not at this moment we need to land because we cannot get a correct indication of the fuel level we need to land and this is truly absolutely unprecedented and r.t.
7:03 am
managed to speak with the bolivian defense minister who was on that plane and while there were still at the airport in vienna and here is how he described what happened. 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 have permission to land at an airport on the canary islands for refueling. what's even more extraordinary is that after the plane landed in austria austrian of thought he's actually searched it looking for a snowden they didn't find anyone but it still took a few hours for the believe in president to continue his journey since the european union couldn't give them the proper airspace cord or a proper route to continue their flight now believe he has already called this an act of aggression violating all international rules and regulations we've heard
7:04 am
from and ecuador who are saying that this is a massacre not only against believe you but all the countries in the region argentina and who are calling for an emergency summit to discuss the incident and how to react but what's significant is that so many european officials they've been actively responding to snowden's revelations they've been gauging with the u.s. demanding explanations over especially the latest reports that the n.s.a. has been spying on the europeans but what we saw here now is that many are ready to do anything just to avoid any contact with mr snowden even if it means denying a lending and air space to a presidential aircraft in need of refueling now one of the reasons why they thought that snowden could have been on that plane is that earlier the billion president told r.t. exclusively that his country is ready to provide political asylum to the former
7:05 am
n.s.a. contractor why not of course the situation is far from ideal his cases could be discussed on the international level that bolivia is ready to give political asylum to the people who. so to speak there's an idea this. another leader who seems quite sympathetic to snowden and his revelations as the president of venezuela in order to manage to catch up with him as well here is what he thinks about this whole issue this young man has to be protected by the international community he did 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 both believe in as well as see this still haven't received an official request for political asylum from mr snowden. he retracted his request from russia after
7:06 am
hearing the conditions voiced by president putin said that he could stay here in russia but then he would have to stop harming washington now basically this means that snowden will still remain in this transit limbo since ten countries have officially rejected his request the u. worst is still falling for his extradition the one thing that france is on actually meets where airport moscow says that it's not planning to pass him over to washington since it sees him as a human rights activist and they still actively use the death sentence in the u.s. . from central moscow with more on the edward snowden scandal thank you very much indeed for that report thank you i could or has found microphones sprinkled around its london embassy near days after revelations that the u.s. had physically bugged dozens of diplomatic our partners and norbit again chairman
7:07 am
of germany's party of reason says he isn't surprised adding that governments will always use whatever powers they had given. whole affair just show what happens when government spends out of control whenever you give government power point or only too much our government will use that power and turn it around and use it against their own people and use it against their their allies 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 that once again shows how important it is to fight to to go against
7:08 am
this abuse of power france and the full frontal the e.u.'s rhetorical offensive against washington's surveillance activities officials have even said that a massive trade pact being negotiated by the atlantic allies could well be sunk by spying revelations and she's more of her notion now report. 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 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
7:09 am
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're 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 roll most nothing. at least it was clear at that time there were two sides to wines today is not certain who is friend and who is rival yes good question if there are friends of talk true friends
7:10 am
or not sure well france 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 sort of course firstly 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 perry's who 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
7:11 am
have special relations with this country. province 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 this 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. and a member of the european parliament. laded says becoming a criminal is no way to fight crime. the thing is the heroic thing about
7:12 am
is that you fight illegality by being legal within the legal framework if i am to become a criminal myself in order to find criminality i'm not achieving anything i'm only increasing crime in the world in my view so the thing is to respect the human rights and find such a framework that you can fight terrorism without becoming a criminal yourself and what the united states are now doing by. stealing all these data personal data violating privacy this is criminal stay with us for more international news headlines after the break.

moments of cocktails as well as handmade guns this is a worrying trend here in egypt civilians are increasingly armed and these kinds of rival protest clashes are becoming more and more violent and frequent as the days go on but simply as we're seeing a serious divide in egypt between those who support the president and those who are against him with rival protests taking place every day across the country here the presidential palace last night we had tens of thousands of peoples calling for his ouster they say the president is not capable of grilling anymore and they want him out meanwhile the is the most faction who support the president had their own rallies just a few kilometers away and in front of a mosque they say that he's legitimately elected and they want him to stay in office for the next four years while it looks like he's not doing much to reach out to the opposition his televised speech last night to maintain that he has the constitution they just mysie he's not going anywhere he is the president he was democratically elected he kept using the word legitimacy over and over and over
7:16 am
again he also rejected opposition calls for early presidential elections for a new constitution and an interim count so he basically maintained that he was going he was the will of the people and the people would listen to him this comes off to the military issued a forty eight hour ultimatum which is due to expire today according to him to go through the demands of the people otherwise they will intervene for their part responded a few hours later by that facebook page saying that they will protect the people even if it means that they have to die in the process. pipes are egyptian novelist and political commentator ahdaf soueif her believes that it's a sad irony that the army has stayed behind the popular unrest the military for the year that they were actually in power they themselves waged a war against their god we should kill protestors on the streets in an escalating massacre so it is very sad that we are back in this position.

but in fact it really is the intransigence of dr morsi that has led us to this because over the last year he has had repeated continuous trinity's to act as the president of egypt to bring people in to mend kind of broken ties and put the country on the road. and while public outrage again there isn't as president explodes a his supporters have vowed to fight to the end for their leader he is point to flee and want to find out what that motives are. egyptian president mohamed morsy supporters are gathering had not far from the presidential palace you have ever lived mustered an obvious novice groupings here you have the muslim brotherhood you have the salafist i knew was that had ordinary egyptians really sokolsky the hummock morsi you know who i'm here to support business mostly because they have owned the rights to be this new egypt and other people trying to
