why you should care. of the european authorities force the president. and nothing less than a kidnapping. and american leaders. revolution redux for egypt is the army overthrows the country's first democratically elected leader mohamed morsi square exploding in celebration. coined a major financial figures from the world of big business looking for an alternative to that of traditional cash.

here in moscow we're giving you your global headlines welcome to the program. france has become the first of four european states to apologize for denying space to a jet that was carrying the bolivian president with little to temper latin american fury with leaders of the act to a kidnapping and the president's plane was forced to land and reportedly search of a rumors that whistleblower edward snowden was aboard let's now cross. for more on this story here on r.t. . so i understand the bolivian president he's back on terra firma. well indeed has safely landed in bolivia but this was one flight he would certainly want to forget now after setting off from the words of bolivia his plane was denied airspace by four european countries including italy spain france and portugal and this according to ability as foreign minister put the president's life in danger

because he's needed a refuel and he had to land somewhere in order to refuel the plane and this plea was denied so he invention he landed in vienna spent twelve hours in vienna airport and in a completely unprecedented move something which has already been described by the beleaguered foreign minister as a breach of presidential immunity and a gross violation of international law the presidential plane was reportedly searched by the us basically based on the rumors that the former cia employee of the whistleblower edward snowden may be on board that plane so every one of us of and surely. made to believe the but now the question is whether we'll see a continuation of this a potentially huge international scandal now there's been a sort of dare it see a more latin american countries in criticism of this whole situation the criticism which is directed towards europe and the united states which is believed to may have had a had a hand in this scandal because the u.s.

state department never made it secret it contacted countries an era over snowden potentially passing through the territory and what must be done in order to. hand snowden over to the u.s. authorities so he may face charges so this is the criticism coming from that american countries and all levels coming from the highest officials and even terrorist organization the fark which called it an act of infamy other quotes coming from leaders of latin american countries include quotes like this was the act of humiliation for the whole of eleven american continent and the bolivian foreign minister do you equate to this incident act of kidnapping to an attempt of kidnapping of bolivia's president now let's listen to what some of the believe and diplomats have to say on this matter. i think this is an unprecedented situation this goes against international conventions and treaties this goes against international law and all the rules that have been established over a long period of time shows disrespect for other countries independence.

the countries involved in hijacking president morales is clean and making a mistake they think that others steal attack invade territories wage wars impose embargoes and go back on their own would just like they do the current policy of the usa and their allies in nato aims and ensuring their role in security at the expense of somebody else's. we know that believe it has already filed an official complaint to the united nations but this is not where the story ends we are expecting a summit an emergency summit of the un us who are going to zation which united latin american countries to be held on thursday probably some more statements will be coming from this summit and we're also expecting a lion's share of criticisms to be directed towards europe as well not only the united states to be under fire because we've already heard quotes from the latin american leaders that despite that europe has been criticizing what edward snowden

has revealed it's still acted as a colony of washington as some of the latin american leaders have already said so definitely this is not the end of the story and until edward snowden remains reportedly at moscow's sheremetyevo airport will be definitely seeing more crazy twists and turns to the saga which will of course we'll be keeping our viewers updated with yeah no doubt alexy it's far from over at this point are to select other ships q thank you. well the united states has admitted it has contacted a range of nations imparting on them the dangers of allowing edward snowden to pass through. attorney and author she says the e.u.'s actions show clearly where his priorities lie. despite the fact that the united states basically is demeaning those european nations and violating their own rights and treating them as second class citizens at the same time they do share these collective military and economic interests and so i think that

a lot of the response mainly from some of these european countries heads of states condemning these actions of the united states and calling for further investigation was mainly merely to satisfy their their constituents and their people and it's not something that they're really going to follow up and we see that played out in the case of a more dialysis airplane i mean these same european countries that were just criticizing the united states for this espionage program they were willing to act on u.s. instructions to violate the rights of this latin american leader so i think we see clearly there the double standard and hypocrisy and what is being said virtually out of the government the european union and what actually they're doing in reality and in reality they are just going along with the u.s. agenda will they use unprecedented interception has drawn huge criticism from the global media especially on social networks early on my colleague bill dog he got reaction inside from all to use i because he needs to know. the state department so

they wouldn't comment on it they did the closest thing they did to do to comment saying is that saying that. there's no reaction so far or any kind of understanding of how the obama administration would react if snowden left the moscow airport it's a little bit embarrassing that if the us did. asked for that plane to be diverted because they suspected snowden was on board and he clearly wasn't going to be questions asked why do you there's a lot of people that don't think they asked for it that they demand it let's not forget that just on monday there was this revelation that the u.s. was spying on their number one ally europe but now we're not hearing anything about that it's almost to the right. thing and. the europeans perspective it's a bit ironic isn't it very about all the anger at the e.u. has over the u.s. over its allegations of spying that it was that case they were helping the u.s. out and closed their respects to that jet that they're helping in effect snowden to because of the u.s. it doesn't make sense as it well i think. it makes perfect sense from one point to

you that makes perfect sense if you're willing to believe that. there's a group of people operating behind the scenes who are who are putting political pressure on people that's not in the public eye. and it's the kind of pressure that blowers tend to expose in fact and it's very much the kind of political tactics that snowden. what sort of political pressure we're talking about with the u.s. because of course there's all this talk about the trade free trade agreement sure sure well i think as far as what kind of direct pressure has been put on anybody. we're in the realm of speculation it's very hard to say however we could look closely at how the europeans have reacted and look at let's say some of the righteous indignation that's come out of the european side i think francois hollande has probably led the european indignation despite the clear claims that from the bolivian side that the french were complicit in at least complicit in refusing. to pass which. is in

a sticky position because he's trying to play politics as the moment his cabinet has been we could. and he's on the back foot as far as this e.u. u.s. trade deal is concerned we might come back to that one as well. i would i think indignation. is putting it very strongly i mean yes spoke out about it sure that was just my day it's wednesday and now everyone's kind of really quiet there's lots of confusion like you said bill no one's really denying or claiming anything happened today what we do know is that a president of the sovereign country was held in an airport for more than fourteen hours and his plane was searched that's a violation of international law why is no one talking about this is a key takeaway for me is that while. moralez were at this gas meeting in moscow when there was a lot of speculation around whether whether snowden was going to be snuck onto an airplane or not the fact is that morale is left moscow without snowden nevertheless

somebody believed snowden was on that plane and why and who believe this why did they believe us and does that suggest that nobody has a visual fix on edward snowden in moscow right now or at least the people who are trying to catch him and could he be on a plane to better use instead. good point well we shall see because the mystery continues brings us all back to the beginning where snowden has had great well no doubt we'll be talking about this for a few more days yet for you very much indeed. and he said now you thank you very much for that discussion here. i think of joining us here on r.t. as a u.s. president barack obama has long claimed that a time a surgical in the accuracy but a new report by an expert on the pilotless planes have said they killed ten times more civilians than fighter jets and more lives because coming up a bit later for you in the program here on our. part a ten minutes past the hour here in the russian capital it's back to the

revolution drawing board for egypt after the army moved in and toppled the country's islamist president after just one year and mohamed morsi is under arrest along with other members of the muslim brotherhood of the coup has been hailed by crowds of anti islamist protesters in cairo to rear square but furious confrontations between supporters and opponents of the deposed leader claimed up to fourteen lives overnight details now from true. the situation rapidly developed overnight so off to the announcement from the military of the ouster of mr brotherhood president mohamed morsi just one year into his term we had reports of hundreds of arrests of mr brotherhood officials this was quickly condemned by rights groups here in egypt who said they didn't want to see egypt to send back into the dark days under mubarak and former presidents where the missing brotherhood was witchhunt if in addition the president the former president himself morsy was put under house arrest a video came out overnight showing how this actually happened officials on their

twitter accounts were tweeting as it went on saying they keep being separated from his presidential aides in addition the muslim brotherhood's own television channel mr twenty five was shut down and the people the president presentist were arrested also on top of that al jazeera arabic local channel here in egypt they offices were run sacked and members of the organization were reportedly also arrested meanwhile we've seen an army deployment in the streets particularly focused around rallies in support of the former president i was there last night there's a lot of military and most of it because what they put forward is that the egypt they are saying that now egypt will have a new president the head of the constitutional court will take over today in addition we will have the current constitution will be suspended there will be a committee set up to look into changing some of those articles and the technocratic interim council will be formed to really manage these moments of

transition to one side the anti-government protesters who've been calling for this ouster celebrating into the early hours of the morning people with dancing and singing and funny drums setting off fireworks they were holding up showing the faces of major military figures here in the military with the heroes of the hour as there were lots of chance of the people in the army of one hand the week stocktake they said to me. they finally their voices being heard however on the other side the supporters of the president remain in their seats and calling for him to be reinstated they say he isn't just a president the missing brotherhood organization is one of the largest organizations here in egypt they have a significant support base i was in their seats in late last night speaking to these people they said to me they felt isolated and the minute she had surrounded their encampment they feel they would be likely to talk to you could you see if issues were being targeted to what you're seeing is a country divided and particularly as we've already seen during the lead up to

these demonstrations mass movements of violence for the country this happened again last night we had clashes between supporters and opponents of the. president so really we have to see you know how this situation develops. or will they don't hold back we always love it when you get involved with stories here at r.t. it's time for you to get your opinion out on the airwaves here on the program on the website dot com we're asking what's next for egypt now for the second time in two years the military has taken power let's see how the site vote is going to dot com still though the overwhelming majority saying the army will try to administer some sort of peace and quiet to look after the country until fresh elections can be staged down to about a quarter they're not so optimistic they saying it's just going to continue as a state of chaos and the country will descend into further turmoil about fifteen percent now saying the army it was a total grab for power and it will stay in power as long as it wants the bare

minimum saying well of mohamed morsi and the members of the muslim brotherhood but not broke and could still do some sort of comeback but we're still taking your pulse and getting your opinion at dot com don't hesitate to get involved. well for the meantime the former atomic agency chief and nobel laureate mohamed el baradei he appears to be at the political forefront now the rule of the muslim brotherhood is being brought to an end a research journal writer soraya suffering poor old rick she believes that his candidacy is being actively promoted by america and that's not a good sign. americans invest a lot of money overseas house sat. american use the president then the president will buy it was going to answer and it was even a new york times article two thousand and seven talking about would be his replacement and since two thousand and eight there are young egyptians come to america go to the state department and he took the time and lisa why is the other

is to learn how to use modern technology to start an uprising in egypt so this uprising from the very start was aided by the united states and one of the favorite horses in the race has been and continues to be mohamed el baradei and he's the one who actually met with the military to remove morsi it but i think it's bad for any country when somebody is help from the outside from forces without to help bring that person to power then that person will automatically turn into a puppet their concern will not be what is good for the country their concern is their ambition and that is always dangerous i don't know whether they're my dress or fundamentalists it doesn't matter it should be an egyptian decision. so if you've missed anything i don't hesitate to check out our live updates on how the gyptian coup started and continues to do so at r.t.

is. twenty minutes past the hour here in the russian capital american drone strikes could be responsible for ten times more civilian deaths than that of conventional weapons all of this according to a brand new report by the american president barack obama who has taken the deadly technology under his wing still maintains they are more accurate than fighter jets and more from washington liz what. well it's no secret that drones are becoming the military's aircraft of choice we've been told they're more efficient and precise

than fighter jets but a recent study says otherwise the study was conducted by larry lewis a research scientist for the center of naval analysis lewis took a close look at the number of air strikes in afghanistan during mid two thousand and ten and two thousand and eleven he got the figures using classified military information and what he found was that drone strikes were ten times more deadly to civilians than traditional manned aircraft now these findings seem to be at odds with what we've heard from government leaders back in may president obama touted the benefits of drone warfare as i've already said even small special operations carry enormous risks. conventional or poem missiles are for less precise than brooch. and there are likely to cause more civilian casualties and more local outrage. other high level government leaders have claimed the

benefits of drones long before president obama addressed the issue of civilian casualties in drone warfare here's john brennan back in april of two thousand and twelve at the time he was an assistant to the president for national security and counterterrorism we conduct targeted strikes because they are necessary to mitigate actual ongoing threat to stop plots prevent future attacks and to save american lives but quantifiable data are proving this has been scarce due to the secrecy of the drone program exact figures of drone strikes were not disclosed in the latest study because that information is classified but it calls into question just how much more precise drones really are compared to man their planes the researchers that conducted this study have an idea they told the guardian quote these findings show us that it's not about the technology it's about how the technology is used drone darn magically better at avoiding civilians than fighter jets when pilots

flying jets were given clear directives in training on civilian protection they were able to lower civilian casualty rates also important to note the latest study only takes into account civilian deaths in afghanistan and places like yemen and pakistan it's harder to obtain figures on the number of deaths because the only way to get data is from the drones themselves so as the drone debate comes into that the national spotlight this study points out that the benefits of drone technology and training of drone pilots should be included in that debate in washington liz wall. now the alternative cyber currency bitcoin is inspiring some serious financial players to open it up to the world of big investment the winkle vos twins known for suing facebook founder mark zuckerberg for allegedly stealing their social network idea and now planning to float a bit coin trust details now to watch these katie. bitcoin the pairs of parallel

government though isn't too happy with the coins popularity it recently shut down our virtual exchange system for the currency claiming it was a money laundering platform i think we've had one hundred years now of what the u.s. government can do when it gets to manipulate a currency and a lot of people are kind of tired of that and they want to experiment in a space where you can't manipulate a currency just what would that even mean for money and i think that's why a lot of people are really interested in the space growing enthusiasm for an invisible currency presented to rival the printed greenback marina port i.r.t. new york are just a moment or an hour to an in-depth look at the gulf coast oil spill live from moscow thanks for joining us. as a person who lives in russia i get asked very often why automatic console fat well
