latin america is livid after each use take it refuse their airspace and demand to such they believe in free of the jet over discredited rumors it may have been smuggling whistleblower edward snowden to safety. this is racially brought together south america closer than ever with the leaders calling these some washing of the flight offensive and humiliating. clashes resume in cairo with only hours left until the on the deadline expires for the president to resolve the dead and rest but the hundred more says he's ready to go down fighting if this means protecting israel.

news from russia and around the world this is us here with me thanks for joining us latin america is an uproar over europe as denial of air space to fly a b. one carrying the believe in president the jet was forced to land and even searched over rumors that edward snowden was on board here its leaders are vowing a response calling it a humiliating and offensive. now reports on the controversial ground believe years says he did coordinate the flight plan with the european officials prior to taking off from moscow and then all of a sudden mid-flight several rounds of them from entering their territory and this is despite the fact that we needed to refuel along the way and it seems that at this point we began having technical. robins with the plane and related with the

fuel we were able to find what seems to be courting of the conversation between the bolivian pilots and a traffic controller at the austrian airport 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 as a result they were allowed to conduct an emergency landing in austria but only after the fuel began dangerously running out after the plane landed in austria a local authorities actually searched it looking for snowden on board although they themselves say that they were allowed to do so by authorities but even when they did didn't find to be former n.s.a. contractor on that plane it still took quite a few hours for the bolivian president to continue his trip back home since the e.u. still wouldn't give them the proper airspace cord or the proper route to continue

their flight now believe the a call this an act of aggression violating all international laws especially the fact that the president's plane was searched this is totally unprecedented in the approach to how to deal with airplanes belonging to heads of states and the ability also claims that this whole operation was planned and organized by washington there's been also a massive reaction in latin america with cuba and ecuador saying that it's a massive offense not only against believe here but all countries in the region who and argentina are calling for an emergency summit a continental style and for all the local countries to discuss this incident and think about reaction but what's quite significant is that so many european officials are not afraid of using. the revelations even gauge whether you were demanding explanations over the latest reports that the n.s.a. has been spying on europe when it comes. to the man himself then they are ready to

go to extreme measures in order to avoid any possible contact of contact with him even if it means blocking airspace or even searching presidential aircraft one of the reasons why they may have thought that snowden was on board that plane is because of the bolivian president told earlier exclusively to r.t. that his country was ready to provide political asylum to 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 and so to speak another president who seems to be quite sympathetic to snowden and his revelations is the head of venice a while our team managed to catch up with him as well here's what he thinks about this case 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 the peace now when it's all well and believe you are so far saying that they haven't received an official request for political asylum from mr snowden and while he himself retracted his request for political asylum in russia after hearing the conditions voiced by president putin who said that he could stay here but only if he stopped harming washington so basically for the former n.s.a. contractor this there's a transit a limbo continues as he's still stuck inside that friends on actually meter airport the u.s. is still calling for his extradition or moscow does say they're not planning to buy some more since they do see him as a human rights activist while passing them over to the country where they still actively use the death sentence is a possibility for russia. so it's little surprise that reaction from believe there has been strong and exclusive interviews to senior officials haven't been mincing

they're worth. i think this is an unprecedented situation this goes against the practice of cooperation in coexistence between countries this goes against international conventions and treaties this goes against international law and the rules that have been established over a long period of time this shows disrespect of the country's independence. so. the countries involved in hijacking president morales is making a mistake they think that others steal attack invade territories wage wars impose embargoes and go back on their own word just like they do we would like to warn the international community about catastrophic consequences of such acts as they give offense to any person or state the current policy of the usa and their allies in nato aims at ensuring their own security at the expense of somebody else's.

meanwhile officials from france and spain tell a very different story of a safe lying to every be one caring the believe in the president was never denied access to that space that's coming from anonymous sources and their respective foreign ministries but those claims draw skepticism and here's a map of the path the plane took let's now have a look and you can see it's very it's flying very close to the italian border first and then abruptly tourney but to the end that's when they believe ins say they were told that they know they had no longer had a transit right some commentators say the only reason it had to turn back at that point was because of technical malfunction or being denied airspace all of hearing aviation expert chris yates sainz the situation around the forced landing of the believe in the president's plane has some aspects. you know it's been quite a bizarre morning really with this plane traveling out from moscow and seeming to

do that dog leg over austria going back to the. in theory to refuel but also going to suggest to him that any further a space has been blocked so the aircraft can't continue until clearance is given to enter for example italian airspace french airspace and of course spanish airspace so strange turn of events you know we kind of wonder who is telling the truth here i quote or has discovered its embassy in london has been bugged by dozens of microphones shortly after snowden's revelations that they view as has been spying on european diplomats and that john looked learned from the institute of democracy and corporation and paris believes although the e.u. seems to be angered by washington's eavesdropping it's just playing out for the cameras. it's very revealing and symbolic that president morales his plane should

have been forced to land in a european union country after the withdrawal of overfly rights by other european union countries because this of course shows how the european hudl jumps to the american circus masters command the european governments are very obviously under the some of the americans they have shown this very flagrantly and the reason why i say it's symbolic is that it's the abuses which snowden has revealed is only one side of the coin the other side of the coin is that there has been a massive increase in cooperation in intelligence sharing between the united states and its european union allies in the last ten years and certainly since nine eleven so it's entirely appropriate if you like. the whistleblower should have been

attentive to be caught by your in union countries because the problem that he has revealed is concerns intelligence sharing between the european union and america as well as the increased best finish by the american security forces. france says at the forefront of the rhetorical offensive against washington surveillance except it is officials have even said a massive trade pact being negotiated by the atlantic allies could now be signed by the spying revelations. on our part. 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 us national security agency has carried out covert surveillance on frank and do you high ranking officials both of home and abroad monitoring millions of e-mails 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 now 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 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 at all true friends not sure 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 are asking for confirmation or a fair mention 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 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 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 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 small this bone of contention and move on or they'll always looked bad. from paris. for more of

the route let's not cross to katie peel being from business desk nice to see you katie hello what's the situation of the maher member well the situation is that the tray did is on hold for two weeks at the moment so i'm going to give you the details just now now france's president francois hollande is demanding an immediate explanation from the u.s. i reports that spying took place on diplomats and his writings you pull out of the billion dollars worth of trade deal between the u.s. and the e.u. a report in a german news weekly kicked it all off the should be a goal that revealed that the n.s.a. vault the office is a diplomat allied e.u. countries now however when the allegations first came out chancellor angela merkel said quote if allegations were true it would be an unmixed cold war style behavior despite this clear view on spying a state spokesman for germany has come out and expressed a desire to get started with the trade negotiations. right now france is not

willing to step down on this matter well it would appear that france is taking a tough stance on international spying but there's a bit of a contradiction going on right now because france was accused along with a number of other european countries by the bolivian authorities of forbidding a bolivian bound jet to travel through their airspace because they suspected edward snowden was on board along with the bolivian president the plane was held up for more than fourteen hours as a result no this has been formally denied by the french authorities we must say but if it is proven that it would mean that fawns is putting on a tough economic from the spine against spine but when it comes to pure politics is quite another matter so going forward then this isn't the first time that france have done this actually the second time that france the store the negotiations after initial worries that their culture industry would suffer as a result of the trade deal a managed to get their visual sector excluded from the deal so this on got his way

on that one but considering the french economy fell into recession in the first quarter of this year and expects to stagnate going forward a lot and is not in a financial position to stamp out a multibillion dollar trade deal all right kate if you go thank you very much indeed but our data banks. and we'll be back of course shortly after a very quick break with more on the clashes in cairo on a full day on to a government process i meet fee is they could trigger yet another revolution and right now we're bringing you live pictures from central cairo from to have a square there what people are protesting against muhammad more say all about 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. programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on our team reporting from the world talks of the i p into intriguing story to tell you. the arabic to find out more visit our big. dog called.

you're watching l.t. live from moscow welcome back some parts of the egyptian army have reportedly been put on high alert status hours before the military's ultimatum for president morsi to result divine of crisis expires fresh clashes between government supporters and to is in this protest is erupted earlier outside cairo university after at least eighteen people were said to have been killed overnight also is about truth isn't kyra with the. well tensions are rising as violence has erupted once again focused around cairo university in the capital reportedly between residents and supporters of the muslim brotherhood president against this backdrop of a deepening the crisis in the country these clashes happened also yesterday night when reports of the rival rival protest marches accidentally met at the area and started fighting has descended into a very bloody scenes eyewitnesses are going to chill but it's they will say said

they saw a time made shotguns rock throwing and want to talk this is a worrying trend here in egypt where by civilians are increasingly arms and bringing those weapons to crutches and this is why this is leading up to many many deaths and a lot of injuries that people are really worried about here seems a very tense here as we're waiting to hear what the army is going to say this comes off the president said in the speech yesterday he rejects all the all that the concessions that the open session forces one states put in place for example early elections or a constitution he was a slam to to make him and that the military set him telling him to put to the demands of the people otherwise they will intervene at the moment the army's been having a measured she takes all often need to deal with this crisis the latest is that a position to grandmama down but a guy who represents the protesters and also the form of this proposition has been meeting with the army together with representatives of the church to come up the pope himself and on us which is egypt's leading islamic directing all reports that

members of the muslim brotherhood group the freedom and justice party may have been present at these meetings everyone is really holding their breath here waiting to hear what the result is of these of this key meeting that took me in the run up to the end of this forty eight hour deadline which is cool thirty pm cairo time the president for his bond has remained steadfast he says he wants to stay he is there just to to mit's a democratically elected president he's not going anywhere meanwhile protesters saying that they haven't seen any change in egypt he's unfit. the rule and they want him to leave so really we're seeing a massively divided egypt here on the brink of a huge crisis. and there was pipes are egyptian novelist and political commentator so eve who believes it's a sad irony that the army has stood behind the popular on the rest of the military for the year that they were actually in power they themselves waged a war against their god we should kill protesters 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 to actually put the country on the road to. the public anger of the most is the misrule has however matter a strong response from the willing to spill the own blood to find all the president's role on his policy a one to find out what their motives are. egyptian president mohamed morsy supporters are gathering has not far from the presidential palace you have ever lived with mustard and obvious numbers groupings here you have the muslim brotherhood you have the salafist manuals that have ordinary egyptians really supposed to hummock morsi you know who i'm here to support business mostly because

they have owned the rights to be and that is this egypt i think people are trying to destroy our country but by by strike and by the political fight by and by fiat so i got here to support the forty was just one person oh no it is go see i hear that you get it president will be easy if they try to be fair looked upon as a democracy. and they won't because they want us to come back to firstly mubarak to challenge him he 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 best timbs ok how the question in 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 very deep for any. bad situations and the message from people here is that president morsi is a just missed and they are ready to defend him policy our team. some believe beyond his roadmap for a peaceful solution looks more like a coup later today peaceful about discuss the egyptian crisis with his guest on cross-talk don't miss that i fixed him so to chante. in pakistan at least twenty three people have been killed in the latest u.s. drone strike they were suspected of being islam is militants but it's not unusual for such attacks to end with civilian casualties to the deaths of innocents have led to a rapid deterioration in relations between the former allies islam about and washington but filling that void these days is china which is winning the hearts and minds of pakistan is this a confidence looks now at the blossoming friendship. my. 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 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 study as it were trying to do right now.

because of the broader reach. 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 forty to fifty percent or below it was through return or through. a few very very big superpower at the moment for. very proud to be a friend of a child and when it comes to pakistan's other friend and superpower the united states growing up to curb. what is world war three and that's a common view here according to a recent pew research survey nine in ten pakistanis describe china as a partner while 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 feeling like you are all going to be that china has never between them while there is a constant. feeling that you know the u.s. is just fickle there's this fair weather fans that come in smash things up without

a guard for the consequences but most of these students aren't motivated by politics others to 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 this account and of argentina's ahmad pakistan is going on coming up as ranking the set with hottest and hands. i would rather ask questions for people in positions of power instead of speaking on their behalf and that's why you can find by feel larry king now right here on r.t. . that
