and welcome to the twenty four hour news life for most my name is you dash of our top story now that as well has extended a helping hand to the man who exposed the world wide surveillance by the u.s. government edward snowden's finally received an asylum officer after being stranded in the transit zone of moskos you at court for two weeks on his tone boston. could it be the end of edward snowden's long isolation here at moscow's sheremetyevo airport his limbo in the transit area here or so we think as best we can tell we've not seen him for two months it seems his options were running out but now after these two weeks two offers possible offers of asylum the first one from venezuela as we heard announced by president nicolas maduro but also your

carol i have decided to offer humanitarian asylum to the young american edward snowden in the homeland of simon bolivar and to go to church and snowden can come and live here away from the persecution of american imperialism another possible offer coming from president daniel ortega of nicaragua he's saying that if the circumstances permitted surgeon may be able to go there as well so possibly to this safe havens to exit routes for the now famous or infamous depending on how you look at it mass surveillance whistleblower edward snowden's main obstacle really at the moment is the fact that he has no documents that would allow him to travel his passport his u.s. passport having been an old he would need paperwork to travel on to venezuela or nicaragua however there are two other problems seeing as he would most probably be flying there one is u.s. airspace there are no doubt direct flights to venezuela he would conceivably at

some point may have to cross u.s. airspace which could present quite obvious problems and also crossing e.u. space a number of countries in the e.u. recently received a tongue lashing from the bolivian president while his plane had to be stopped in austria because of suspicions perhaps that snowden was on board so possible complications there it does seem there could be many complications in edward snowden's possible bid. so for flight to venezuela i want to correct you. snowden applied for asylum all over the wild but his requests have been rejected by a host of banks including european ones found a wide awake news channel mcgrath the e.u. nations don't want to upset the us despite snowden revealing how much washington spied on. the laundry list of nations that snowden has applied to for asylum include scores of these european nations that are just all giving the same

excuses that he's got to either show up on their soil or in their embassy you know the information that's been released has shown that our allies in europe were the one the in a lot of cases the ones being spied on so for them just to play the well we don't want to we don't want to upset the americans so we're going to give the standard answer no you know no comment or he's got to show up at the embassy it's it's very much a pressure rating for people like me that want to see the truth come out but when even when you expose the truth in even when you give it this truth to the people who are being spied on they won't step up and support truth so yeah it is a bit frustrating to to see these european nations just kind of ignore this outright spying that's happening. and europe also appears no stranger to spying on its citizens that's off to its reveal frons also has us on a large scale eavesdropping program reports suggest huge amounts of load and

internet data. stored in a giant bunker beneath paris. it's coming out early so late. egypt is the best who support the deposed president mohamed morsy are vowing further protest until his by last night's violence saw thirty six people killed and more of a thousand wounded in clashes between wyvil groups meanwhile egypt's new interim president is expected to name a new cabinet truly has been following this is racial for us in cairo. ok all second downtown cairo in the capital there were fierce clashes between supporters and opponents of the former president mohamed morsi i was actually in the street battles myself and the source of billions with guns them on the tops of rocks people were breaking up bits of the pavement to throw at each other to stretch across three of the major bridges between on either side of the nile between these rival protest groups the security forces got involved for

a while but they couldn't contain the violence we have heard that the interim president is expected to announce his cabinet this is hopefully going to put down some of the state institutions so that we can try and sort out the situation in the country which is becoming impossible in addition there have been rumors of talks begin between the muslim brotherhood group which is the islamist party that the deposed president hails from people are looking to the miniature right now to control the situation as they are the only institution that really is organized enough or has the sort of power enough to be able to sort this out we saw quite a little amount of soldiers in the clashes last night people were actually criticizing the military for that saying you know where are the police where are the military the capital is on fire that probably playing quite a careful game at the moment the tensions are very high many people here expect a curfew to be imposed as was imposed during the revolution following. the revolution we expect that to be imposed in addition we expect as i said the military to possibly be having to it to the muslim brotherhood green to try and

rein in the supposed to come to some kind of political compromise to bring this country out of this chaos and political stalemates. and of course you can follow about true tweets she's in the midst of the violence and the capital she's providing the latest on dates and pictures from the country caught up in crisis. they muslim brotherhood supporters insist they will remain in the streets until that opposed leader is back in power dr mohamed up to lizzie's from the sacramento it's not accenting the u.s. believes the undermining of the power of the ballot box will lead to chaos in egypt what happened in egypt is obviously mubarak's military going back in order to take the country back to the old mubarak men. as opposed to the revolution to the revolutionaries people who are cheering in the streets right now will be the first to cry tomorrow when we set the precedence that it's ok for people to go to the streets and for the military to oust an elected president what happens next so the

country elects the other guy who happens to be a liberal or or a socialist or whatever and then the islamists the supporters of morsi millions of them will take to the street and then we oust the next guy and then we keep going this i mean that's not a democracy anymore that's the rule of the jungle meanwhile economists predict egypt's fraud trial financial position could be at even greater risk global trends for cost to general cement he says in a poor country any leader can reach the top via mobile but if they don't deliver they won't fly. it would the foundation of why the revolution began in the first place it wasn't an arab spring it was a lot of poor people you had most of the people living on ten dollars a day and that was the genesis behind the foundation behind the move barack overthrow you know people want to live a higher standard of life the vast corruption all the money of the top of the

pyramid and the rest of the people having nothing and then when morsi came in he made it worse it wasn't that he was in islam is so much it could have been mickey mouse of mohamed morsi would have made no difference if the people had a standard of living that was going up rather than crashing as it was you know about the long a gasoline lines tourism dog virtually and the country went into deeper poverty and that's really the genesis behind all of these many of these uprisings around not only egypt but around the world. coming out for your hero and also you struggling with stop a nation while that monster turns to food by a trip across the u.k. while prime minister calls it a free lunch making the rise of people's greed poverty and hunger plenty more stars and if you modeling.

from here that it's now coming from big brother news with its own people monitoring millions of phone calls text messages faxes and e-mails. and intelligence is also great. the french public is actually now very much you have been receiving conflicting messages from their leadership. first few weeks after revelations over america's espionage all on top and damaged america saying it's not what others do now it's been revealed france is itself doing exactly what it just very vocally denounced. meanwhile french officials are downplaying the allegations over the country's surveillance program claiming the reports are inexact however the prime minister's office did admit several services conduct monitoring operations for security reasons and its cause scientist says they excuse is not convincing.

the key issue is not terrorism any longer if you want to be effective in the fight against terrorism first you should not provoke it by actions abroad like drones in the case of the united states second you should have a kind of police operation. in the united states you know did not stop the boston marathon attack but then every citizen is checked in his or her personal life all the time to. watch technology makes possible becomes a reality because there's no other way leaders used to acknowledge it to the full and the clean with take control is going to terrorism but terrorism is mostly an excuse of course the fight against terrorism is legitimate but so everyone in order to fight terrorism it's not the necessity at all. if you missed something on i you can get the full picture awards going on our website you'll find much more of the science including. telecommunications giant a.t.m. t.v. is next in the line of those selling customers days of the highs joining of arisan

they walk and pensions minister claims hoffa milling u.k. people just want to have their bellies filled full free and denies a link between the rise in food banks and cuts in benefits all his staff how small . austerity might be a word that's until not long ago was rarely used now though it's on everyone's lips in real terms as a stereotype bites feed poverty's rising half a million people are now dependent on feed banks according to figures in a recent joint report compiled by charities church action poverty and which many see as a direct result of mounting social spending cuts and the burden of care is often pulling to charitable organizations such as this one so this is where all starts the distribution in the kitchen with the warring gradients. and this is a six day week operation so it all gets kicked kicking thoughts nice and early and

then once it's done. turn the cold be accepted by your. then just invite. some new people. and have you seen lots of new people. young people. on board people young people live in squats. most of them are in. the people low income and benefits and jobs and stuff but they the number and dependence on feed banks have been steadily increasing something governments are playing down the connection with policy and rice today. replies i didn't say how how does the charity operate. six days a week the big operation in a thousand people work the day. you get government funding or used to unfortunately

council or the funding for all the centers so now we're on the wrong foot luckily we got a couple supermarkets interested in diverting the food from. this would normally all the strawberries bananas exhibiting would normally end up in. so so you're saving the environment and recycling back into the community and obviously helping people who are going hungry and there's a lot of people nowadays going home but we've seen a huge number of people using this service today and services like this to become even more pivotal in the future the government might just have announced another round of paying for the start but the truth is the u.k. could stay on this deficit reduction policy while many in government know it's looking forward to the future past the next election is that there could be much much worse to come sarah. lunde. and for some other international

news in brief this hour a roadside bomb has killed three so many injured two more in yemen's capital sana'a the soldiers were patrolling trying an opposition stronghold loyal to the country's deposed leader when the blast struck the country's right with political tension since the arab spring which answered presence there at the start of last year. while i'm still protesters and police clashed violently in front of the home of governor burning rubbish by house but the advance of the security forces showed the protesters with the shall of the protests as i should say with tear gas the country has been hit by wave after wave of ronnie's recently after a protest of a bus creases snowballed into one of the demonstrations against corruption in the highest ranks of the country. iraq's second volcano has been wreaking havoc on flights in america hundreds of passengers have been left stranded after more than forty flights were canceled as a local continues to spew huge amounts of ash into the atmosphere airlines grounded

that planes as a precaution the volcano is only around six o'clock he says from mexico city airport and regularly rolls into life. a huge blaze in a shopping center in moskos kept firefighters busy for around five hours a total of two hundred forty men and almost seventy five trucks were needed to call the inferno an hour around seven hundred square metres was engulfed with flames out on the roof of the building collapsed to how they coped as well cold to this seemed to hold efforts and nearby metro station had to be closed although it's since reopened while locals are still being advised not to open their windows to find it started in one of the centers counties in the east of moscow one firefighter has suffered from his stress but no other injuries were reported the cause of the blaze is not. as if the global economic rivalry between

washington and beijing was enough chinese investors and are preparing a massive deployment right in america's bucky all of the construction of a canal connecting the atlantic and pacific oceans through nicaragua is due to begin next year sponsored by a chinese father also a business brain ok to people there are now ripple. the idea of a canal terry nichols has been kicking around for over one hundred fifty years now that a chinese businessman has dumped up forty billion dollars from global investors it could become a reality now the owner of hong kong based hate k. n. d. group is founding to start building the canal in twenty forty which they claim will be ready for action by twenty twenty so let's have a look at the map then i will be able to say that the plan is to build one hundred seventy eight mile waterway connecting the caribbean and the pacific and it would be three times longer than the panama canal which took a decade to complete now the group faces wide criticism over its

plans and i spoke to asia expert david who dismissed event as a joke i'm hoping it's a joke i'm just hoping that it maybe some some things are. too much time because if you think about it. there wasn't already taken out. west and east you wouldn't really sort of think about putting one in the ground we were anyway it was a really good one reason why panama which was because it was the shortest distance between the land. so why would anybody want to do a new you know that is actually going from east to the west coast we just doesn't make any sense. but the investors behind the project insist that world trade needs a new worries and that the panama canal is not enough to handle the trade already

conducted between the east and west so those who are laughing at the project right now might just have to change their tune if this game changing projects succeeds. right russia city of pushing on its best face of the twenty seventh world universe a games are set to kick off with a spectacular opening ceremony presided over by a present for the reproduce and as organizers apply the finishing touches all she's called took a walk around the venue. over the course of the next fortnight more than thirteen thousand athletes from one hundred seventy different countries to descend on the majority of them staying here this is the university village a purpose built brand new university complex in the city center now despite the fact that the authorities say the finishing touches are still being applied to some of the venues the message is clear. is ready. every time.

you are excited. everything is going to go well and you don't have any clash. whether it's. even if sometimes the venues where with a little bit too late we go they will be ready on time but. sometimes some of the things this is. quite confident hosting an event like this doesn't come cheaply official estimates say these games cost up to five billion u.s. dollars design has seen a complete overhaul of its infrastructure with the development of new hotels and a new transport network installed and around half of the sixty four sporting venues that they built from scratch and this is the jewel in the crown of the car. forty five thousand. that come saturday night will be packed to the rafters what is hoped

to be a spectacular opening ceremony mori about his legacy because as of next season russian premier league side. will be playing their home games. it's also said to be a venue twenty eight team football world cup but of course it's not just on dry land where the medals are going to be decided here the aquatics palace swimming synchronized swimming and diving goals are all up for grabs in fact of the three hundred fifty one golds available in total fifty eight are going to be decided here . despite the heavy cost involved in hosting these games organizers a keen to point to the legacy it will provide in order to get the games you have the bidding procedures i mean the beginning procedure is a big box is a big part of the points are attributed to good legacy and i think this is the only golden rule the tool to have the public going with your project that they know that's everything that you are building would not be only you know what solves a project but that will begin to see to the public afterwards although the opening

ceremony isn't until saturday evening some competition has already started causing a stir at the athletes' village where super excited is simply happy it's different and exciting is that it's nice to have a better than two years ago so that's much more than i expected so very good fourteen of the sports are optional these include the likes of rowing and rugby sevens all five sports are making their debut here and including boxing was complete idiots and so now i'm off to the university that would be gracing increase in boys and girls willing to learn books in such a great atmosphere. that. the conspiring the next generation of sporting greats is the objective of hosting events like this then russia will get out pull up that unity over the next few years the world athletics championships winter olympics world swimming championships and football world cup all coming to the sures by two thousand and eighteen the organizers therefore hoping that these games will show

that russia is ready to welcome the sporting world full scots because i. am now announce he would take america to report on the vicious cycle of diplomacy and hunger in africa and. south carolina is playing around with the idea of using shame plates which are license plates that can display special messages the department of motor vehicles would have complete access to all these plates and be able to display text on them like suspended uninsured amber alert or stolen you know i actually don't mind the idea of using shame as a punishment i guess it could be a real deterrent to have drunken loser written over the license plate of someone

who drinks and drives in fact drugged driving plates have been in place in some states for a while but the problem is that more often than not shame penalties aren't the punishment for a crime but just a bonus one in my native ohio you can go to jail for three to thirty days and have your license suspended for one to three years for driving which is a brutal punishment in a country where everyone drives to work you see people are already punished for drunk driving and in america when you pay your debt to society i.e. you get out of jail you're supposed to have a clean slate but the bonus license plate suspension and possible punishment plates make this a triple sentence ignoring the fact that the government will be able to practically display words on your person like a brand on cattle is bad enough but multiple punishments for the same crime seems like a bit of a shade thing than me but that's just my opinion. in

july two thousand and eleven the horn of africa was struck by a wave of famine. again our screens were flooded with images of them a seed of africans. over

thirteen million people in somalia kenya ethiopia eritrea and djibouti are once again threatened by famine. the u.n. approaches the international community for immediate food aid.
