5:02 pm
summit of they want us to 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 ever more or less through europe last night we've seen an unprecedented solidarity from all that american countries on the matter they've all been very critical of what happened with the believing president now the president of argentina kristie that the commissioner said that this was the humiliation of the entire south american continent a joint statement coming from the colombian government stated that the airspace denial is an act of aggression and last but not least the president of venezuela nicolas maduro said this was a dangerous disproportionate and unacceptable aggression. but europe is the main victim of america's economic policies europe is the main victim of america's espionage and yet it's precisely europe that's insulted one of the presidents of south america it's unprecedented what the spanish government is done are we latin
5:03 pm
american citizens your slaves the slaves of that elite that kneels down before the c.i. a before the u.s. and no it's ridiculous 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 says you suck because somebody out there you are at peace with that it is 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 here as well as russia from where president morales was traveling after his visit. 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 well europe received the lion's share of criticism for their
5:04 pm
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 contact of countries in europe about snowden possibly traveling through that territory and that she he should be handed over to the united states authorities for charges and to trial so this story is definitely far from over we are anticipating this summit and believe the emergency summit of owners who are 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 i suppose going into international affairs analyst pepe escobar and he believes south america's anger at the u.s. and e.u.
5:05 pm
means snowden's chances for asylum. do all sort get that what you what twenty four wow four hours before what happened to alice deal where outraged in serious it were being spied of all in a in frankfurt and out over the nato headquarters in the moments outside of belt twenty four hours later he did what they did i guess it was the leader of a small south american nations and now the united sounds so merrick i guess you were asked i guess this ridiculous but benteke role of the european thought it's so open source old and possible target. in south america. 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 u.s.
5:06 pm
spying on its european allies which sparked a wave of fury in the blocking clued in 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 spying 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
5:07 pm
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 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 francois hollande he. ratings are among the lawyers in the history of his presidency and of course he planned to gain some points by saying exactly what his people what his electorate wanted him to say
5:08 pm
that only proves that france has not been able to go beyond words in its accusations of america's behavior and will not actually openly spoil its relations with washington and actually instead of gaining some popularity here on the ground a french president has been the opposite the public people say they are shamed with this ypocras see from their leader. well the leaks about the n.s.a.'s surveillance program sparked massive outrage against the obama administration not only in its major talking of europe but among the people all the u.s. to an internet wide pain has been organized by the movement restore before and has been supported by numerous websites what it calls all the government to respect the fourth amendment in the bill of rights which protect citizens from reasonable searches and seizures. has been one of the protests on the birthday of america's independence hundreds are taking to the streets in new york city and
5:09 pm
throughout the country to take part in the restore the fourth rally this is a campaign that wants last month in the aftermath of edward snowden's revelations about america's spying program of program that has shocked those living in the united states and those around the world know their story the tour aims to lie if you were still worried the fourth feel of rights which protects us citizens the not lawful search and seizures the purpose of this rally organizers say is just spread awareness and spur political action against unconstitutional spying by the u.s. government press freedom advocates that we spoke with say that these protests are crucial because mainstream media is not adequately covering the n.s.a. leaks and their importance to everyday citizens i believe that the fourth amendment is being breached by the government but by the police with search and seizure with
5:10 pm
the n.s.a. leaks and everything that's been coming out. we i feel lied to i feel you know betrayed by a government that's supposed to uphold the constitution even though they say that there's laws that make everything they do legal it seems like legal gymnastics to me i voted for obama twice i donated twice but i'm tired of the expansion of these programs that seem to violate our rights and. focus more on keeping us safe in the name of fear it really frighten me that the director of national intelligence lied to congress and i haven't really been any repercussions he issued a written apology but people have lost their jobs over last and it seems like he really isn't as we are living in the midst of the of the largest. you know unreasonable search and seizure system we've ever seen in the history of mankind completely suspicion less search and seizure of our information and that people should be infuriated that this crowd has marched more than the law makers down.
5:11 pm
here at federal first congress passed the bill of rights in addition to this event more than five hundred thousand people have signed an online petition stop watching dot us demanding full disclosure of all and i say programs now although this rally may be over those participating in it say that their campaign is just to get it from new york marina writes. he's an organizer all of that rally in new york he joins us live for more on this tom obviously the campaign is being organized today on july fourth independence day but according to the reports of the turnout it seems a lot of people around the states were more keen on celebrating in that she taking part in your campaign so is it really of massive importance to the american people as a whole oh i personally think that it is. significant importance to the american population
5:12 pm
as a whole but i wouldn't necessarily say that many people choose to have their party instead of coming up to us in new york i would say that we had at least a thousand about our youths. and what you will campaigning about what you're concerned about is being snooped on but of course as people would argue with you that if you go on social networks with the. online shopping you're being snooped on anyway so really what's the difference. the difference is that. the private companies have the right to store the information however the government the fourth amendment says the government can search and seize any information without a warrant and although warrants can be issued through the fights amendments act they're usually done after the fact after the search has been done and they've had a almost one hundred percent of overy of these winds after the fact but if
5:13 pm
you got nothing to hide those will be you know why should this poll of the year. that's a difficult question to answer because a lot of people feel that way. although people have nothing to hide it's still. restore the fourth feels that it's still a fundamental human right have a sense of privacy without the government snooping into. personal information and what do you think this campaign will come please do you think it'll actually stop the government with its surveillance programs. we hope to be able to . if not stop then make those. programs constitutional by explicitly prohibiting surveillance of americans without warrants backed by probably probable cause so you're happy that surveillance does exist as long as it's done through the legal avenues because clearly the whole
5:14 pm
point of this is to make the country safer to make people in america safer. well of course there is a necessary there is it is necessary for surveillance to occur however the problem with the way that it's being done now is that it is only unconstitutional and i would say that many people feel that way. just quickly do you think this movement will gain momentum because obviously this is really in the headlines of the moment the story or could it just simply fade away a bit like the occupy movement. i think it has potential to grow exponentially within the next few days and weeks i've been looking at some data from our national website if you don't restore the fourth net. and the data looks very promising in terms of. getting people interested in restoring the fourth amendment or at least
5:15 pm
trying to get told thank you very much indeed for joining us tom kloza organizer restore the for friday in new york one of many protests taking place throughout the country today thank you very much indeed for joining us live from the thank you for thank you for having me thanks tony. well just a click away we got live updates on restore the fourth campaign you can head to. picture videos from the protests. to the break celebrates the end of president rule. bring to the country and its people stay with the. wealthy british.

5:17 pm
news continues here on r.t. a day off to a military coup toppled the egyptian president the country's new leader is showing little mercy to mohammed morsi and those close to him with will direct iraq judge adly mansour having been sworn in this interim leader the general prosecutor has had the islamist muslim brotherhood supremum guide and his deputy arrested but the swift change of power has triggered renewed clashes on the streets altie for the slip reports. i've. had some twenty four hours after the press was overthrown in what has muslim brotherhood which is putting a military coup now as we zoom into the crowd to see that they are you sorry because the erupted in cheers they were waving the egyptian flag they singing patriotic songs every so often a little fireworks in the sky may keep aiming these green and laser beads of all the buildings around. that. government that they're squashed and
5:18 pm
washed all good but these are not being repeated up egypt you need to realize that this is a very divided society and bearing the brunt of this new interim military is first and foremost the muslim brotherhood there have been some we wanted everest robyn's issues of brotherhood members and amongst those who have been arrested on the government leadership of the muslim brotherhood and becoming supreme guide and his deputy i understand that many of us are have a whopping two ties the general prosecuted or disease or it is interesting enough to have half of it by president morsi after the revolution back in two thousand and eleven he was part of mubarak's team now earlier on thursday and interim president was sworn in at least. and so if he is the head of the country's constitutional court it's just
5:19 pm
a position that he had for only two days and in that swearing in ceremony he said that he was going to pay homage to him and the chance to have had to have the constitution have to go in terms of who will be the new prime minister of this interim government it does seem as if i have it up higher it is the favorite and it is the form ahead at a mash up of how much energy i have indicated that it is a position that is willing to take refuge in nothing but that as well as army but there are critics who do say that if indeed people had to make prime minister rabin and not the puppet for the united states the time here's where it is randi to put to what is going on in the race to egypt to explain this is a very very divided society and there are real concerns that they could be clashes and violence between the army and promo system of the muslim brotherhood leaders have issued a statement saying that they are calling for nonviolence they don't want any kind of armed struggle that they were hearing statements happening from the grassroots muslim brotherhood supporters not wanting to jihad or holy war have question is
5:20 pm
whether or not the leadership will be able to control the and go and the frustration on the streets the army is talking about implementing a road map it has dissolved the parliament it has abandoned the constitution it's going to be rolling but only presidential and parliamentary elections so there is some kind of timeframe of how the system that has been put in place but there is again a real fear fear of clashes if there were clashes happen if there had to hire a university there were also clashes not far from last time office and this is something that people will be watching for oh well for more on the turmoil in egypt let's not talk too she can tell me if she's a senior policy analyst for reason foundation she could of course we've seen scenes of all those people celebrating tell his square celebrating the demise of morsi but of course as we just heard in paul this last report there are plenty. of pro muslim brotherhood supporters plenty of pro morsi supporters what sort of reaction do you
5:21 pm
think we could see from them well obviously they aren't going to be very happy about being ousted from power and it's not just a question of being ousted ousted from power and not being able to rule you know i'm sure a lot of them fear for their survival they don't know what's going to happen to them under the new regime and i think it's vital for the new regime to make sure that there are no turns against the morsy supporters that this is as peaceful a transition as they possibly can and they should really not incite them by arresting them or you know what this meeting other kinds of violence against them i think for the new president is vital that he does that and she could of course you've got the tensions between the pro and anti morsi supporters but then again the opposition it looks so united when we look at those scenes in tahrir square but of course there are divisions among the opposition itself. well you know they always are divisions among the opposition but i think the uniting factor over here
5:22 pm
is that the people who are actually within one year quite end up. with the muslim brotherhood leadership morsi you know did not india or him says the economy has done extremely well really under him and no one can say that he had only one hour to you know get a grip on things but the fact is that things have actually gotten worse they haven't gotten better and that's a huge uniting factor for the whole country even though there might be internal religious divisions you know. a divide what have you i mean bear in mind that they would literally put the million people out there protesting on the streets that's a quarter of the country's population that gives us a pretty good eye of the public sentiment out there but is it really a road to democracy a democratic transition when we see a president rested we see t.v. channels being closed. constitution change and all this done by the military
5:23 pm
although not fear is that this is simply a military coup and it's not actually the democratic process that people want i mean you can buy me about that but i actually don't see it that way in an established democracy when when a government uses the confidence of the people there aren't stablished mechanisms to get rid of it in a parliamentary country in a country like britain you can have a no confidence motion in the united states you can have an impeachment motion against the president there are no say two mechanisms in place in egypt and so the only way that the people could assert themselves was when uprising and the military you know from uniform has been a bleak supporting actor it hasn't let up raising it you know when the uprising became absolutely impossible to ignore it did what it could to restore the will of the people so yes the constitution has been suspended which is not a good thing yes and a democratically elected president has been thrown out which is not good but so long as these are temporary measures to restore the will of the people and elect
5:24 pm
a new democratically you know democratic government i am not so if you are full of the loss of democracy right now she can thanks you thought she could tell me a senior policy analyst from the reason foundation live here in r.t. thank you for your time thank you. other news now the majority of detainees at guantanamo bay prison camp are nearing the one hundred fiftieth they of being on hunger strike over forty people are now being force fed a practice condemned by numerous human rights organizations and the u.n. despite all of that the obama administration is still not rushing to close the facility when i'm not joined live by kevin zeese he's a lawyer and political analyst from more insight on the story hundred fifty days now of this hunger strike kevin so have these hunger strike has actually achieved anything. oh definitely president obama has been forced to address the issue that got an incredible solidarity offering people united states to see protest doesn't
5:25 pm
scores of people have been arrested and support of the hunger strikers there are about a dozen people on a solidarity hunger strike people are pushing hard to have this change and obama has been on the defensive about using force to address it in public he was confronted in public by a protester medea benjamin at the time so this is not going to have a positive thing it's been the barest problem right you know the reality is every day that obama does not act these people are being tortured eighty six of them had been cleared for release by the department defense by the department of justice by the white house for more than a year they've been cleared for release and yet no action taken president obama is not leading here is not getting the job done and every day either he's the blame for every day and he's going to torture all right but you've just saying a little earlier that he seems to be being pushed into a corner over this but still nothing's happened there is no concrete evidence he's going to close down this facility are you optimistic
5:26 pm
a well. i you know who knows what you know what the end result be but he finally did appoint someone to the part of the state to actually manage the closure of the prison and the movement of the prisoners. you know how does the white house lawyers have been looking at the legal steps they can take to transfer some of the prisoners to yemen the bulk of those eighty six have been approved are yemen's and some changes and to recognize yemen as a someone who is opposing terrorism as a country they can send them back to yemen so there are things that he can do and so i think we our job as americans is the hold him accountable nothing's going to happen unless he has pressure we cannot go on him to act alone on this we're going to take the people demanding it and so more and more our field because gitmo that met organization their witness against torture veterans for peace opposed paying those living groups are doing great work on this and i think more and more americans are really you know feeling disgusted by the way that this demonstrates
5:27 pm
what our country has become and so combine that at the end and i say surveillance leaks and the edging into war in syria all this adds up to an empire that's in great distress and learn to rethink its foreign policy kevin zeese thank you very much indeed for your comments and your perspective on this life of an l.t.e. thank you thank you very much. but it's not come up to twenty eight minutes past the hour and after the break it's the kaiser report and then the news continues with the team you know naughty stay with us if you can. as a person who 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
5:28 pm
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 native 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 really have simple solutions you can 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
5:29 pm
are ironically slim but that's just my opinion. welcome to the because a report on max kaiser according to the dictionary carney as in mark carney could mean to coax or jewel or act in a wheedling manner now i know you are thinking that sure sounds a whole lot like the definition of a pole dancer you could indeed be
5:30 pm
a mark carney the new head of the bank of england as a sort of pole dancer enticing you to take with cash remains in your pocket and stuff it in the collective g.-string of the banking system only in this case what that g.-string wearing financial system flashes back to you in exchange for your hard earned cash is a lot be don't be don't believe bottom to toxic capital market that let's face it isn't really all that appealing to look at know best you close your eyes stacey. yes max you know mark carney we gave him two days before we started talking about him because he started this week at the bank of england and of course the reason why he was brought in is not only because mervyn king was leaving but the sense is that he's going to rescue the financial system that collapsed along with lehman brothers back in two thousand and eight now lehman brothers dick fuld.
