more clear after the emergency summit of the illness or organization which unites most of the latin american countries which will be held on thursday some statements will be produced there but following this nightmare flight of evermore 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 cristina the commissioner 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 airspace 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. 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 by. 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 room would just like they do the current policy of the usa and their allies in nato aims at ensuring their rule 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 so if you suck or somebody out there you are at peace with that as the machine due to the failure of

european states to give permission to the aircraft of the bolivian president to fly 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 near 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 where some latin american officials saying that despite europe is criticizing what edward snowden has actually revealed still it 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 charges and later trial so this story is definitely far from over we are anticipating this summit and believe that the emergency summit of owners through and what steps will be taking 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 he's chair of the bruges group policy think tank he says the e.u. states haven't abandoned their colonial past when it comes to their relations with the us it's an infringement of sovereignty 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 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 an independent voice any but i and 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 if edward 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 bloc including paris. explains 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 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

france have first agreed that the talks of the free trade zone should go on then later france has not allowed believe this president's jad to enter it's as praise because an undesirable person adverse an order and 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 francois hollande his ratings are among the. 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 shamed with this it pop received from their leader salim trip to paris university has told me a little earlier that he thinks the french president inconsistency has left the whole country red faced the socialist government of console them to compromise the risk of romance now while our country appears in the eyes of the world as a servant of the duces country which does not state a moment today to washington this is a disgrace because we are not to use economic power with the our political and diplomatic very small we don't have the courage to adopt. both well this is that goes that favors our interests and author of consultant sell bucci he believes that the forced landing of the believe in president's jet sends out

a clear message that anyone can be washington's next target. i think that they have made a serious mistake because this is just one more example of the way things are going to be not only throughout latin america but throughout the world already where you have powerful hager man's told to be disrespectful towards the national sovereignty of all countries bolivia has already the support of other countries that are also modeling to united states like venezuela in a way argentina probably brazil and definitely ecuador ecuador of it as well or about to consider giving asylum to snowden and then you have the other countries that are traditionally are aligned to the united states and britain that will definitely try to keep a very low profile on this chilly colombia and even mexico however they are all very much aware of the fact that this is a very serious event and there will probably be some sort of combined action or at least a combined declaration saying that this event has been deplorable because you never

know who's next so even a country that is friendly to the united states might find out overnight that it is no longer friendly to it. while it's president also. with the believe in plain ground it is part of the u.s. hunt for snowden will washington be held to account when he can head online to breaking the set at r.t. dot com where abby martin assesses just where the unfounded suspicion could lead. i guess my question is who that called is 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 nations there will be consequences for this kind of disregard for the world stage and if you think that it's completely insane to join

me and let's break the set. we're never seen anything like a. regular set available right now dot com well coming up to the break because egypt celebrates the end of president morsi as rule looks at what the swift change of power could bring to the country and its people. so basically when the saudis or the iraqis or the door the turks will call that is when they provide the should invest providing for their own that the same d.n.a. that cousins use share a language to share of a faith to share a culture and tradition now what you're saying is that because you are an arab because you are a muslim you for some reason have the same rights protecting the syrian people but to me it sounds just as you know congress sounding as the bushes claim or feels

that you know supposedly kyra responsibility here.

continues here on fourteen minutes past the hour now well a day after a military coup toppled the egyptian president the country's new leaders are showing very little mercy to mohammed morsi and those close to him we're showing you live pictures at the moment there from tahrir square and the latest is that the top judge adly mansour has been sworn in as the interim leader and general prosecutor has now had the islamist muslim brotherhood supremum guide and his deputy arrested and morsi is under house arrest himself now the swift change of power has triggered renewed clashes on the streets but at the moment we can see that there are scenes of celebration and festivities live there in tahrir here square where the coup supporters have gathered less than twenty four hours since morsy was deposed and they're celebrating the fact that islamist rule seems now to be confined to the history books in egypt and

a few minutes ago in the last hour we saw a military fly past show a symbolic display by the military showing that they are fully in control of the country now our correspondent paula slim is in cairo and we'll be crossing to her very soon as she will be giving us an update on the latest goings on the latest developments there in his square well earlier today so he was sworn in as interim leader and we know that the general prosecutor who was previously stopped by morsi has had the islamist muslim brotherhood supreme guide and his deputy arrested. and we're also learning that morsy is now under house arrest and. the interim leader has not yet announced any date for fresh elections as we can see there scenes of celebration despite reports of. clashes in the streets between of course those who

still obviously support morsi and those who are said celebrating his demise. there is then l. and she can join us live from to his square paula so tell us what is the latest from where you are and what is gathered concerning the latest developments. well as you see behind me b. crowds continue to gather here in tapir square let me just move to the side slightly the numbers have increased quite dramatically in the last few hours as is customary at this time of the day and as we've seen for the past week or so what we've noticed in the last few hours is military helicopters flying overhead now they have left behind them a smoke trail of the colors of the egyptian flag all of this excitement here even though the former egyptian president morsi has been ousted from power it's almost as if the crown wants to give him a message that he's gone for good now this comes as

a deeply divided egypt trying to find its feet there has been be a race to the leader of the muslim brotherhood at the same time there has been the arrest of the supremes diet and his deputy some three hundred a wrist warrants have been issued by the military on muslim brotherhood leaders in mississippi and we know for instance that they've started rounding up and detaining them now it appears as if the general prosecutor who is responsible for ordering these muslim brotherhood a raise is the same man that was removed by morsi after the two thousand and eleven revolution he was part of for me gyptian president hosni mubarak's team one of the candidates that is being bandied at least being favored for the position of prime minister is mohamed al by ready before many international atomic energy agency chief and he has indicated that this is a position that he would like to take. now with me i have mohammed salim who is

a writer a political activist and a blogger now you are one of the protesters down there in task here why do you say that this is not a military coup. saying it's not a military coup because the military would not have moved an inch sisi would not have moved at all it wasn't for the millions of for one down through the streets they went down to the streets after exhausting every single way of showing that what's happening is a dictatorship we have tried opposition we have tried to the protests we got attacked by muslim k. but how do we know that the military will leave when they supposed to leave they have no choice in the store and they don't want to repeat what happened first year and a half to compete destroyed their reputation relations downstairs completely and utterly believe that they got the military to move and that the make yourself and so far even in the agreement the military has created their enjoyment it has moved itself completely from the process but what have you protesters achieved i mean two years on we're back with started you're back on the streets of tough here sometimes you have a corrective measure you know what you wanted was

a constitution followed by elections but you end up having was elections followed by a constitution that wasn't even approved by the majority of the population and was actually very much a legitimate it was not covered by judiciary it was fraudulent in every way spit but with all due respect president morsi was democrat. it's democratically elected he should be allowed to serve out his presidency first of all there hasn't been a single through the county elections that the police on their car under after the revolution was actually general elections we have shown proof that up in parliamentary elections are nine million for them and vote to begin with not to mention i would like to ask where are his voters where are the told million the public to form with argument about where the ten million voted for the constitution that gives them that regency box on this one those was where we were we have been suffering a mask is a fraud and we just proved if that you talk about a constitution and you talk about democracy are you not creating a bad precedent here at all future presidents who are elected through the ballot

can all timothy just be overthrown by the street i'm not sure what sort of precedent i'm pretty sure it's a good warning for any president to come along to not think about doing it in the future should we or any of them or even trying to pull the theocracy mother the muslims are trying to hold on sorry this is a good thing to have the clashes are you afraid that they'll be clashes between the protesters and the most he supported the feeling of the majority of the protesters is that belong to have become the conciliation we don't want this it turned into some sort of a situation where we throw away or more all muslim brotherhood members or three ignore islamist political islam so why not leave tapir square why it why you still him most is gone people are celebrating people are still jubilant you have to understand it's been a very bad year people cannot believe that they're actually got rid of course what it said he has been a very bad year and what we can tell you is that there are growing concerns despite what some people think that they could be violence they want a shooting not far from the on t.v.

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 expose 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 porton i.r.t. new york. coming up to twenty five minutes past the hour on i'll be back with a news team with more for you including of course the latest developments from egypt coming up shortly after this brief break it is a talk show will stay with us for that if you can.

as a personal lives in russia i get asked very often why automatic console fat well are americans actually fat or is this just a myth from some hater countries the centers for disease control have declared obesity to be a disease that's a twenty point nine percent of adult americans are obese and that is an all time high people blame the sedentary lifestyle as the cause yes if you were out all day at work and then all evening after driving home sure doesn't help your waistline but problems can have multiple causes and the authors of the book rich food poor food believe it could be tied to eight foods that are allowed in america but are banned in many other countries across the globe some of these chemicals and techniques and foods that are banned by some other countries are a less strong which is in many snack products which lower scale worries but kills your body's ability to absorb minerals brought me to flour which saves tons of time

for the baker but beats up your internal organs and of course our good old friend synthetic growth hormones which are in livestock which have been linked to cancer big problems rarely have simple solutions you could run around and exercise as much as you like but if you're being pumped full of these chemicals that are illegal in much of the world well your chances of fitting into that bathing suit are ironically slim but that's just my opinion. hello and welcome to all the part that they could after the war in iraq it is difficult to find a single analyst in the middle east who would argue that it was self worth while undertaking was commentator is a much more blunt calling it

a war of oppression or even a genocide of the iraqi people the same community that condemned the use of force for political goals in the case of bush and blair appears quite accepting of violence aftermath of the change in syria on both schoolin bastid the west for ruling iraq ultimately advocating a similar approach in syria but to discuss that i'm now joined by and asked al to critique president of the cordoba foundation mr altikriti i really appreciate your being here now my first question may sound provocative but i find much of the pro-democracy and anti aside the rhetoric really similar to what we heard from george w. bush about a decade ago people like yourself who at least at some point or in support of armed rebellion argue that since assad is a dictator or syria would be a better place without human therefore all the measures to get rid of him are

somehow justified even if it is a war and to me that is the very asons of the bush's case to launch a war in iraq there are some stark differences to start off with between iraq and between syria and iraq there was no revolution in iraq there was a war that was instigated by the push of interests strategic financial. whatever it may be at the time the tony blair and george w. bush to launch a war which i felt at the time was one of the leaders of the tool movement ok what's the difference here. well syria was. was a revolution in the end then in the same way that egypt saw its revolution which toppled hosni mubarak in the same way that tunisia so revolution that toppled the alley and in the same way that the people of libya rose the people of syria as well as yemen other countries also rose at the very same time the context can't be ignored.
