international news you comment on line on screen twenty four hours a day this is. joint to latin american countries and extending a helping hand to the man who exposed world wide surveillance by the u.s. government edward snowden has finally started receiving asylum officer after being stranded in the moscow zone of. the city's airport for two weeks the latest now from. might it be the end for edward snowden's two weeks of isolation here at the transit zone at moscow's sheremetyevo airport nobody's actually seen him for those two weeks but there seems to be a glimmer of hope for the whistleblower with three countries now having offered him asylum the latest bolivia that followed tennis weyler earlier president nicolas maduro said that they would offer the whistleblower asylum if you could get them

but also you carol i have decided to offer humanitarian the silence of the young american edward snowden in the homeland of simon bolivar and to go to churches and snowden who come and live here away from looking the solution of american imperialism we've also had heard from evo morales the president of bolivia who issued a similarly strong statement after his plane was forced to touch down in austria amid reported fears of e.u. states that snowden was on board and that they reportedly stopped him and made his plane land because of that he gave a tongue lashing at the time and he has lashed out again now he they think they can humiliate in some jewess by blackmailing us and dictate their own terms like they did before making a change our policies there were brought in with we'll make our own decisions and they can pressure us into doing what they want but there's also daniel ortega of

correctly he say's that if the circumstances were appropriate to them they also could offer edward snowden asylum although it is a glimmer of hope for the now famous or infamous depending on how you look at it worldwide mass surveillance whistleblower edward snowden's biggest problem or at least the most obvious one is that he hasn't got any documents to allow him to travel as u.s. passport has been. by the u.s. he traveled from hong kong to. moscow on a document provided by ecuador which they later admitted was a mistake of theirs so at the moment it does seem some kind of paperwork would have to be issued by whichever state he tried to work to fly to then there's also the problem of air space to fly to venezuela or even to bolivia which there are no direct flights from moscow he would have to go most probably fire cuba perhaps

somewhere else but if he went via cuba it is possible he may have to pass through u.s. airspace which could present a problem for obvious reasons and then there's also the problem that morales himself place which is crossing e.u. airspace that they may want to stop any plane if they thought that it was trying to travel illegally on a plane all of this potentially complicating which ever country snowden tries to go to. he applied for asylum all over the world but his requests have been rejected by hoost of nations including european ones founder of wide awake news china mcgrath says that even nations don't want to upset the u.s. despite snowden revealing how much washington has spied on them all the laundry list of nations that snowden has applied to for asylum include scores of. european nations that are just. 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 can 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 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. your reporter appears no stranger to spying on its citizens that's after it's revealed france also has its own large scale eavesdropping program reports suggest that huge amounts of phone and internet data are being monitored and stored in a jar on the wrist stay with r.t. for more details coming up a little later. egypt's security forces have reinforced their positions

after the muslim brotherhood supporters veiled further protests until that deposed leader mohamed morsy is back in power well last night's violence for thirty six people killed and more than a thousand wounded in clashes between rival groups behind me now we have live scenes from tahrir square certainly looking a lot more and less populated as it has been in the last twenty four hours live feed there from his square will bill true has been following the situation. is chaotic in downtown cairo in the capital there were fierce clashes between supporters and opponents of the former president mohamed morsy i was actually in the street battles myself i saw civilians with guns them on the tops of rocks people were breaking up into 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 minute to right now to control the situation as they are the only institution that really is organized enough or has this 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. they're probably playing quite a capital game at the moment as the tensions are very high many people here expect a curfew to be imposed as was imposed during we don't know if i really should i'm following i'm following the revolution we expect that to be imposed in addition we expect as i said the military to possibly be having talks of the missing

brotherhood green to try and rein in their supporters i've come to some kind of political compromise to bring this country out of this chaos and political stalemate and you can follow bill true on twitter right now she's in the midst of the events there in the egyptian capital she's providing the latest update and pictures from the country caught up in the crisis well dr mohamad abdalla zs he's from the sacramento islamic center in the u.s. he believes the undermining of the power of the ballot box will lead to chaos in egypt happen in egypt is obviously mubarak's military going back in order to take the country back to the almost. as opposed to the revolution to the revolutionaries people who are cheering in the streets right now 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 you psalmists the supporters of morsi millions of them will take to the street and then we oust the next guy and then we keep going that's i mean that's not a democracy anymore that's the rule of the jungle washington which supported the revolution in egypt two years ago has so far failed to give its verdict of what is happening in the country correspondent jonathan steele who reports extensively on the middle east believes that egypt is in deadlock and the situation is not being helped by the reluctance of those past backers to move off the fence. by rounding up the muslim brotherhood leaders. undermining any chance of a real compromise dialogue to end this crisis they talk about they want national reconciliation well how can you have reconciliation if you lock off a president who is elected freely by an enormous number of egyptians it is a military coup you can't get around that it's hard for the u.s. to come out publicly in support of

a military coup so they have to make these noises ritual noises about its. return to civilian rule but they're not really sure what what to do so i think the best solution is some sort of compromise and i wish we would hear that from some of these western leaders. r.t. live here in moscow coming up this hour struggling with starvation while the amount of charity food bank triple across the u.k. the welfare minister calls it a free lunch linking the rise with people's greed and poverty and hunger that buddy more stories in just a few minutes. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so. and then something else here sees some other part of it and realize that everything is. hard because the big.

news today. these are the images. from the streets of canada. operation.

brussels is threatening to suspend its data sharing with washington fresh on the heels of revelations about the n.s.a.'s mass ease dropping on europe the e.u. is demanding complete transparency maximum information from the u.s. that's despite recent reports revealing its own snooping activities france is believed to be running a version of the n.s.a.'s infamous prison program when all of these refined investigates. these building behind me in the eastern part of paris or rather the story bank and if it is the epicenter of a fresh spy scandal we had supporters of the country's security services and it's from here that it's now coming from says big brother it's news because he called monitoring millions of phone calls text messages passes and e-mails. how did you sleep with. the french public is actually you know very much you have been receiving conflicting messages from the leadership the first few weeks after the

revelations over america's rescue now it's all on top and damned america saying it's not what others do now it's been revealed france is itself doing exactly what it just very vocally denounced 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 political scientists pig says the 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 so what technology makes possible becomes

a reality because there's no other way leaders used to acknowledge it to the full and the clean with stupid taken trees against terrorism but terrorism is mostly an excuse of course that played against terrorism is legitimate so everyone in order to fight terrorism it's not been assessed it at all. well if you missed something on air you can get the full picture of what's going on on our website at the moment and there you'll find much more besides including telecommunications giant eighteen t. is next in the line of those selling customers data to the highest bidder joining the rise in facebook and other competitors which quietly use a consumer's history for marketing advantage is the full story on that on our website. and just click away to the sky over russia's capital on r.t. dot com we've lined up few snapshots a russian photographer who really got high over moscow and took the. images check

out this. online. increasing numbers of britons are heading to food banks to satisfy their hunger but the work and pensions minister claims half a million u.k. people just want to have their bellies filled for free and denies a link between the rise in food banks and cuts in benefits as more. thirty might be a word until not long ago it was rarely used now though it's on everyone's lips in real terms as a stereotype bites food poverty is 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 falling to charitable organizations such as this one so this is where all starts

the distribution in the kitchen with the more ingredients. and this is a six day week operation so it all gets kicked kicking starts nice and early and then once it's done it's. turned the cold. 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 jobs and they the number and dependence on feed banks have been steadily increasing something governments are playing down the connection with policy and rice today. and then say how how does the

charity operate. six days a week the big operation in a thousand people with the. government funding are used to force you to cancel the cut the funding for all the day centers so now we're on our own luckily we got a couple of supermarkets interested in diverting the food from. this would normally all the strawberries bananas examining 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 hungry but we've seen a huge number of people using this service today and services like this to become even more pivotal in the teacher the government might just have announced another round of paying for the story but the truth is the u.k. could stay on this deficit reduction part many in government now it's looking

forward to the future past the next election and there could be much much worse to come sarah. now for some other international news in brief this hour police in canada say they fear fatalities after a train carrying seventy tankers of crude oil the rail burst into flames in quebec inferno recipes spread to nearby houses forcing local authorities to evacuate the area they've also been warnings of an ecological catastrophe after a toxic wave of the coral flooded a nearby river. while in brazil sisters and police clashed in front of the home of rio's governor rubbish piles hampered the advance of security forces the protesters could tear gas the country's been hit by wave after wave of rallies recently after a protest over a very slow build into why did demonstrations against corruption in the highest ranks of the country. syrian troops evolves into. the whole part of holmes after

nearly a week of fighting and some of the heaviest of the conflict shelling was sort of continued throughout the night and remains ongoing meanwhile political turmoil may be over for the main opposition body backed by the west the syrian national coalition is elected a former political prisoner as president after days of still made during a meeting in turkey. because if the global economic rivalry between washington and beijing wasn't enough chinese investors are now preparing a massive project right in america's backyard the construction of a canal connecting the atlantic to the pacific ocean through nicaragua is due to begin next year sponsored by a chinese firm building reports. the idea of a canal terry nichols has been kicking around for over one hundred fifty years and 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 and d.

group is farming 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 see that the plan is to build one hundred seventy eight mile walks way 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 q who dismissed event as a joke. i'm hoping it's a joke i'm just hoping that it's maybe some some things on. too much time because i just think about it i mean if there wasn't already a can now. only needs to you wouldn't really sort of think about putting one in the ground we were only when it was already a good one it's

a reason why management was chosen was because it was the shortest distance between the atlantic and pacific so why on earth would anybody want to dig a new you know that is actually going from it needs to the west coast it just doesn't make any sense to me. but the investors behind the project insist that world trade needs a new varies 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 russia is putting on its best face as the twenty seventh world university games set to kick off with a spectacular opening ceremony presided over by president vladimir putin as organizers applied the finishing touches. took a walk around the venue. over the course of the next fortnight more than thirteen thousand athletes from one hundred seventy different countries are 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 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. that everything is going to go well that you don't have any trash . even if sometimes of the news where with a little bit too late we go they will be ready on time. some of the things. that i would see. hosting an event like this doesn't come cheaply official estimates say these games have cost up to five billion u.s. dollars 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 have been built from scratch and this is the jewel in the crown of the car. forty five thousand. spectacular opening ceremony about its legacy because as of next season russian premier league side. is also set to be a venue. 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 hefty 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 big procedures and to begin procedures a big part is a job because of the points are attributed to too good legacy and i think this is a very important role to to to have the public going with your project that there's no doubts everything that you are building would not be only a wild shops project but that will be to see to the public afterwards although the opening ceremony isn't until saturday evening some competition has already started causing a stir in the athletes' village very severe excited is simply happy it's different yet exciting is that it's nice to have a better than two years ago so that's much more than i expect it's a very good fourteen of the sports are optional these include the likes of rowing and rugby sevens all five sports and make met dave you're hearing including boxing but that in itself now and after the university that would be a great increase in boys and girls willing to learn books like in such

a great atmosphere. that. if inspiring the next generation of sporting greats is the objective of hosting events like this then russia will get up at unity over the next few yeas the world athletics championships winter olympics world swimming championships and football world cup all coming to the sure by two thousand and eighteen the organizers therefore hoping that these games will show that russia is ready to welcome the sporting world got a. one use in half an hour from now in the meantime the kinsey an unemployment figures in the us gloomy old last prime interest from our washington studios investigates.

as a person who lives in russia i get asked very often why i mean to 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 as a twenty eight 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 lowers carol 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 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 are ironically slim but that's just my opinion. good afternoon welcome to prime interest i'm bob english in washington d.c. here is a story we're telling today the monthly jobs numbers came out this morning in the media outlets must be channeling pros dickens because it was you the best records or the worst of reports according to the bureau of labor statistics we gained one hundred ninety five. thousand jobs in june beating expectations put is zero hedge notes most of the gains were from low quality part time jobs so what about full

time jobs us two hundred forty thousand of them were lost vaporized and there's one more number in the report and this one is even more important because that's the one the fed is using to judge when it will wind down its money printing quantitative easing program and this statistic the unemployment rate remained the same at seven point six percent the fed wants to see it head down to six point five percent of eventually and that's why the markets are so schizo phrenic lately because they're addicted to uncle benny's eighty five million dollars eighty five billion dollars monthly liquidity injections we're going to talk about all of this with austin peterson in the bed and also dig into the fine print of bad audits with perry and boring meanwhile in europe are two central bankers there mario draghi at the e.c.b. and the newly installed mark carney at the bank of england they're distancing themselves from bernanke feet because when ben sneezes the entire world convulses not only has a cost of borrowing in the us exploded over the last month but european rates have actually screamed higher at a faster rate and china one of the most important commodity markets in the world

and they're in quite the pickle just today the state council announced a major shift in policy after over a decade of building not only potemkin villages but entire potemkin industries they recognize their goose is cooked so that ten percent magical g.d.p. at any cost it's unsustainable think general motors dealer channel stop being written large oh and by the way i'll be talking tesla with justin underhill on today's daily duel so we're going to walk you through it all today so stay tuned for what's in your prime interest.
