12:02 pm
american countries which will be held on thursday. some statements will be produced there but following this nightmare flight of ever more alice through europe last night we've seen an unprecedented solidarity from all the american countries on the matter they've all been very critical of what happened with the believing president now the president of argentina kristie medication has said that this was the humiliation of the entire south american continent president of venezuela nicolas maduro said this was a dangerous disproportionate and unacceptable aggression a joint statement coming from the colombian government stated that the airspace denial is an act of aggression and last but not least the venezuelan foreign minister described it this air space denial as fascist well this kind of criticism has been coming from all levels in level latin america but clearly the most offended side here were the bolivians with the foreign minister describing this as equating in this to. a kidnapping attempt moon
12:03 pm
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 this shows disrespect of the country's independence from. the countries involved in hijacking president morales his plane and making a mistake they think that others steal attack invade territories wage wars impose embargoes and go back on their room would just like they do the current policy of the usa and their allies in nato aims at ensuring their role in security at the expense of somebody else's. we've also received a reaction coming from the russian foreign ministry which was also far from have happy about how things pan out for the bolivian president who's you suck or somebody out there you work. with that as the machine due to the failure of european states to give permission to the aircraft of the bolivian president to fly
12:04 pm
through their airspace and is forced landing of this special flight in vienna the following should be noted the activities of france spain and portugal could hardly be regarded as friendly towards we live here as well as russia from where president mirrors was traveling after his visit to moscow moreover the refusal to grant the right to fly the aircraft could have endangered the safety of the passengers including the head of a sovereign state or europe received the lion's share of criticism for their actions in regards to the bolivian president with some latin american officials saying that despite europe is criticizing what edward snowden has actually revealed still that acted as a colony of washington but of course the united states have also been criticized on this matter because of reports that they may have had a hand in this particular incident in fact the united states never made secret that they contacted countries in europe about snowden possibly traveling through their territory and that she should be handed over to the united states authorities for
12:05 pm
charges and later trial so this story is definitely far from over we are anticipating this summit and believe that the emergency summit of almost four and what steps will be taking the next and as long as edward snowden reportedly remains at moscow's sheremetyevo airport will be definitely seeing more crazy twists and turns to this saga. commenting on europe's role in the scandal robert oulds chair of the bridge group policy think tank says that e's states haven't abandoned their colonial past when it comes to their relations with the us it's an infringement of solvency and and an abuse and of course we need to respect the independence of other nations and they're there via the european union does seem to do the bidding of the united states of america which shows that you use not really independent in terms of its own foreign policy european union follows what america does it really does seem to accept american foreign policy goals rightly or wrongly but that's not
12:06 pm
an independent voice any lines other countries within the european union under the common foreign and security policy so really it does mean that the cherished principle of a nation state having its own foreign policy is undermined and that then does leave a country to be be a colony of a greater political power which of course want contrary to democratic legitimacy. the french interior minister has said of snowden applied for diplomatic shelter in his country there's almost no chance he would get it this following the whistle blows revelations of the blatant u.s. spying on its european allies which sparked a wave of fury in the block including paris what is more if a notion or has more on this what we see is actually a curious evolution of france's position over america's spying activity from an extreme outrage to an even more extreme tolerance and even support we all remember that france has become furious after it was revealed that america's intelligence
12:07 pm
services had been more natori in high ranking french and european union officials even abroad and also at home and then the angry at france's president has demanded washington to stop spine immediately and has even threatened to reconsider economic partnership with america and delay the talks over an ambitious project with america over the world's largest free trade zone america france and european countries have been working on for years to work. we cannot fix this kind of behavior between partners and allies but we ask that this immediately stop because they can be no negotiations or transactions in all areas until we have obtained these guarantees for from. all of the european union but what we saw next has actually indicated a radical change in the country's position the european union countries including
12:08 pm
france have first agreed that the talks over the free trade zone should go on then later france has not allowed believe this president's jad to enter its aspirates because an undesirable person adverse norden could also be on board the same plane and that allegedly following america's request to do so so why we see this change in the position of france people here on the ground are saying that that's been an act of populism for from french president. around his ratings are among the loyalists in the history of his presidency and of course he could plan to gain some points by saying exactly what his people what his electorate wanted him to say that only proves that france has not been able to go beyond words in its accusations of america's behavior and will not actually day openly spoil its relations with washington and actually instead of gaining some popularity here on the ground a french president has been the opposite anger at the public people say they are
12:09 pm
shamed with this ypocras see from their leader now the circuit some further analysis on this from me he's electra paris suborn university. the bolivians and many latin americans are clearly very angry over this what about the people in france how are they reacting well this is as you know an international standard because as soon as the united states ordered france to do something very similar to fulfill this order. cancel. the authorization to fly over it's surgery has been granted to the bolivian president three or four days ago and then this was jenson's last moment so this is a disgrace for this and then drew as you know the most bolivian president. we have to remember that since nineteen forty five little nation in the world has.
12:10 pm
presidential earth. to overflow its thirty or so people to people see this is a weakness on the part of francois hollande in a way at the bidding of the u.s. and i suppose that doesn't really do a lot for his approval ratings today because obviously they've dropped pretty trust to clean the last year so politically doesn't do him much good. of course you know the the the socialist government of console the home to compromise the risk of friends now while our country appears in the eyes of the worm as a service on windows a country which does not state a moment to bend to washington's order against our own interests all right let's talk about it's ok let's talk about i know that you're an expert on relations with the u.s. and various parts of latin america what does this then do for those relations
12:11 pm
because this couldn't have come out at a worse time for the u.s. when it's actually trying to increase its influence there in latin america of course this is. an international scandal as i said it will have very serious consequences to the river to the relations between latin american friends in the west because we all know that the order came from washington even leave the state department denied today that he has given this order what we don't understand is how come a country like france which discovered they go two days ago thanks to snowden to the united states was flying on us and then instead of ranting political as of them to this person we are ready to do or dies our relation to with a partner like bill leave you have to obey to the united states is it just not know
12:12 pm
being just being under the influence of the u.s. or do you think perhaps there was some vested interest for that plane to be diverted to somewhere in europe because various european countries of course would like to talk to snow not supposed to get their hands on them on him themselves. you know i just only think that european union the european countries don't have the full lid of. independent foreign policy and they're not able to adopt a position independent from the washington's one this is a disgrace because we are. not real economic power we are political and diplomatic very small we don't have the courage to adopt. fault all this is that goes that favors our interests southern thank you very much and if your thoughts on the electorate university joining us live here on. what
12:13 pm
would be but even playing ground as part of the u.s. hunt for snowden will washington be held to account in breaking the set looks at where the unfounded suspicion could lead to. i guess my question is who that have all those obama think it is only after a week of declaring that he wouldn't scramble jets for a twenty nine year old hacker obama forces down the plane of a foreign head of state that's ludicrous i mean humiliating just imagine if another country demanded air force one to land mid flight based on an on founded suspicion as centrally the u.s. is saying we can do whatever the hell we want even if that means outright disrespecting leaders of sovereign nations there will be consequences for this kind of disregard for the world stage and if you think that it completely insane to join me and let's break the said. look. we're. never seen
12:14 pm

12:16 pm
a day after a military coup top league gyptian president the country's new leaders showing little mercy to mohamed morsi and those close to him with the top judge adly mansour having been sworn in as interim leader the general prosecutor has had the islamist muslim brotherhood supremum guide and he's deputy arrested but the swift change of power has triggered renewed clashes on the streets. reports. well it certainly does seem as if this is it will be for the president and his supporters all those you see behind me there are celebrations ongoing here in toughness where there are huge numbers of pro morsi supporters who understand and fear that a full army crackdown is on the cards they are living in fear of being a wasted we know in that the film of president morsi and his entire presidential office are currently under house arrest they've been held in a minute change intelligence facility there also at least some we hundred of waste
12:17 pm
woman said that issues for the leaders of the muslim brotherhood the military has a way he began to rounding up these needed and wasting them now earlier today when means full met head of the constitutional court was sworn in as the interim president of egypt he took an oath in which he said he swears to uphold the constitution he swears to uphold the republican system and respect the constitution and law he also said that it was his mandate to safeguard the people and protect the nation from those words coming from an a.t.m. and so he says that these mass protests are something that should be praised and have managed to you not to gyptian but certainly that's not the witnessing on the ground witnessing growing divisions within the egyptian society since sunday when these mess demonstrations started at least fifty people have been killed we're just receiving reports right now that me on t.v. offices in cairo are witnessing behind into clashes not far from there so this is an indication that the violence is far from the base of the mill to hearing
12:18 pm
statements from overseas meant that they're going to get some kind of jihad some kind of holy will find that they can fight to the end because they're not willing to accept this and this this is taking away off a president having said that though there are statements coming out from the muslim brotherhood leadership they say that they won't be an armed struggle even though they do not accept what they are calling a military coup the question of course is whether or not the leadership cank. if you want to be speaking to you to be some kind of showdown between mr john just how this plays out was that any money coming our way beyond me has laid out to vote how he wants to govern the country for which it has of course suspended the constitution it has dissolved the parliament and it is going to be calling for fresh parliamentary and presidential elections that is establishing an interim council that is being lead by from a state of the constitutional court. well these are live pictures now coming to you
12:19 pm
here on r t above out here square above the city there in egypt the demonstration by the military by the looks of things and below those planes are a thousand upon thousands of people still celebrating in town here square less than twenty four hours after morsy was deposed and you can just hear the cheering and the jubilation of those anti more see protesters there celebrating a military fly past and we can see the flags waving feldman still there as of saying this in twenty four hours after morsi was told to step down by the military . well you can follow. on twitter she's in the midst of the events there in car over and providing the latest updates and pictures from the country and she's been tweeting that while many members of the islamist muslim brotherhood have been arrested ironically it's turned out that being held in the same prisoners hosni
12:20 pm
mubarak the former leader while many of morsy supporters claim the military coup was unlawful but journalist well skandha outlines the reason his opponents see for the removal of the is misleading. people are just two very tired of the muslim brotherhood rule and the mom monopolization of power and it's true that people say that morsi is practically elected but even if we can see to that people. i have not seen a single democratic step from morsi so in a way morsi is democratic elected but undemocratic are one thing that we fear is that the military does a crackdown on the muslim brotherhood and needless crackdown what they need to do is to contain the violence they need to make sure that it's not an outright military coup where they take power the need to make sure that the crackdown on all the parties are innocent people are arrested and put in jail for no reason it's
12:21 pm
a very sensitive time right now i think for each. and then just seconds after that military fly past we saw thousands of people celebrating in jubilation at the departure of morsi so it looks as if those celebrations will be continuing well into the night and we'll continue to bring those scenes those dramatic scenes there from egypt's tahrir here the square in the center of cairo where now that egypt's gone full circle back to the outset of the revolution two years ago we're asking how you think it will all end this time when you can get all of these online voting section on our website to have your say let's see how the opinions are divided this hour this is your reaction that you're giving us online most voters believe that the army will do its very best to administer the country until fresh elections can be held that's the majority fifty six percent just over a quarter say consensus is very unlikely and egypt will be dragged into further chaos because it is a divided nation and some of you think the army will now hold on to power now that
12:22 pm
it's got it and the rest claim that morsi in the muslim brotherhood a battered but not broken and there is a chance that they could still return that is just three percent at this stage of the day you can also come up with your own options on what's next for the country in the comments section there on r.t. dot com. well egypt's crisis may have a tough impact on its neighbors which have already been through destructive civil wars correspondent from the jerusalem post keen on he told us that countries like israel can't make long term plans in such a hazardous environment. because again it's we just have to have a little patience and wait and see how things play out if you take some time i think in general you can say a couple things about how israel looks at these types of events israel is adverse to chaos is the verse to unpick the building and i think what this does is this the sense the whole region into a certain degree of chaos in a certain degree of predictability which is uncomfortable for israel israel like
12:23 pm
stability it likes predictability even if those it's dealing with are not necessarily favorable to it however like to know how they're going to out you take syrian president bashar assad for instance very tough relationship with israel over the years but israel kind of knew what he would do knew how we would react now in syria there's complete chaos in egypt also now. it's tough it's tough for israeli policymakers to look at this and define what to do of the news now the prospects for the alternative side the currency known as bitcoin have brightened with some serious financial players preparing to open it to investment the winklevoss twins best known for suing facebook founder mark zuckerberg over claims he stole their social network idea of planning to float a bit coin trust but even though the multi-millionaires are now going along with bitcoin the rebel currency still has a strong grasp over those drawn to its anti establishment charmers artie's marina porter explains. it's happy hour in midtown manhattan dozens of bars are
