another asylum invitation for n.s.a. leaker edward snowden has the president says he is ready to welcome the whistleblower if requested that's after the venezuelan leader office him humanitarian asylum. divide in egypt opponents backers of ousted president morsi push on with their rival rallies and the pro-american opposition leader mohamed el baradei is set to take the prime minister's job and. off the rails and into and in canada a huge tank a train comes off the tracks and explodes with reports a nearby town has been wiped off the map.

international news and comment online on screen twenty four hours a day. but libya has joined two other latin american countries and extending a helping hand to the man who exposed world wide surveillance by the u.s. government edward snowden is finally started receiving asylum offers after being stranded in the transit zone of moscow's sheremetyevo airport for two weeks the latest now from tom bot. 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 spent his whaler earlier president nicolas maduro said that they would offer the whistleblower asylum if you could get them but also look here no i have decided to offer humanitarian in the silence of the young american edward snowden in the homeland of simon bolivar and. and snowden who come and live here away from the curse of fusion 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 his years and made his plane land because of that he gave a tongue lashing at the time and he has lashed out again now here's your job they think they can humiliate and some jew or spy blackmailing us and dictate their own terms like they did before making

a change our policies there would make our own decisions and they can't pressure us into doing what they want but there's also daniel ortega of nicaragua 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 airspace to fly to venezuela or even to bolivia which there are no

direct flights from moscow he would have to go most probably wire 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 face which is crossing e.u. airspace that they may want to stop any plane if they thought that the surgeon was trying to travel illegally on a plane all of this potentially complicating which ever country snowden tries to go to. really applied for asylum all over the world but his requests have been rejected by host of nations including european ones founder of wide awake news charlie mcgrath says that e.u. nations don't want to upset the u.s. despite snowden revealing how much washington's spying on them. the laundry list of nations that snowden has applied to for asylum include scores of right 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 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. and europe also appears no stranger to spying on its citizens that's after it's revealed france also has its own large scale eavesdropping program reports are just huge amounts of phone and internet they are

being monitored and stored in the bunker beneath paris stay with r.t. for more details coming up a little later this hour. egypt's security forces have reinforced their positions of the muslim brotherhood supporters valid further protests until the deposed president mohamed morsy is back in power meanwhile pro-american mohamed el baradei has been named interim prime minister these are live pictures currently from the center of car at the moment here on our ticket. has the latest from there . the situation here is extremely tense you have massive numbers of supporters who are still out on the streets calling for the ousted wisdom brotherhood president mohamed morsi to be reinstated and they say they're not going anywhere until he returns to office they're calling for mass demonstrations to be held across the country on sunday now in equal number you have people who continue to celebrate his ouster the focal point remains to be

a square and they too say they're not going anywhere until they see what they're calling the second revolution through so this scene is being set for further violence and further confrontation so far the worst of violence was the street battles that were on friday night some thirty six people were killed more than a thousand people were injured when the two sides pitted against each other on a local bridge here in cairo the protesters were literally picking up chunks of the pavement they were hurling monnet of cocktails and rocks and stones at each other for the better part of three hours before the army intervened and this has raised serious questions about the involvement and objectivity of the military which is currently in this country on a political level the latest development is that the new interim prime minister has been named as mohamad abdalla. day now he is the former chief of the international atomic energy agency the u.n. nuclear watchdog he's also a nobel peace laureate he ran for the egyptian presidency two years ago he

obviously did not get it but he is a candidate who is supported by the united states and this too has raised questions many people asking what is washington's hand behind all of this washington so far has been reluctant to call this a military coup of course if they do so they would no longer be able to provide funding to egypt with many observers saying that this would mean that the united states could no longer meddle and have some kind of control in what is happening domestically here but certainly you have a situation where you've seen a revolution you've seen rocks and stones and people dying and then at the end of the day you have to many your faces were turning to the egyptian political scene you do have a sense when you hear of history repeating itself and sold me the scenario it is being saved for more cash and in the coming hours if not the coming days. well dr mohamad abdalla disease from the sacrament to islamic center in the u.s. believes the undermining of the power of the ballot box will lead to chaos in egypt

happening in egypt is obviously mubarak's military going back in order to take the country back to the almost dark man. 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 psalmist's supporters of more soup millions of them will take to the streets and then we oust the next guy and then we keep going that's i mean that's not a democracy anymore that's 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 over what is happening in the country correspondent jonathan steele who reports extensively on the middle east believes egypt's 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 there 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 up 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. 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 a train carrying seventy tankers of petrochemicals de railgun burst into flames in canada's french speaking province of quebec during the early hours of saturday morning amateur footage shows massive explosions while reports say large amounts of

toxic chemicals spilled into a nearby river local journalist michael foreign updates us on the latest. around one o'clock eastern standard time in the morning there was a a large explosion caused by derailments of a train that was going by the town and when that happened it was carrying crude oil and very flammable material very final chemical and of course it's exploded and caused a large amount of damage should be a city center just quoting the mayor the mayor said the mayor of lack began except earlier today that most of the city center is destroyed has been demolished by this blast and again unconfirmed reports of fatalities the provincial provincial police were saying earlier that about sixty people have been reported missing but again they can't confirm any fatalities or any injuries among them but there is a major river right next to lack antic and they were saying that the s.q.l. of the police of tobacco was saying that there might have been talks that have

already gone into the water supply of nearby villages there are major concerns here is so obviously we're going to be finding more within the next few hours but right now it's really trying to assess the damage and like you said trying to get a grasp of the fire which is still ongoing news just in here on our team we're learning that a plane is on fire at san francisco airport in the states reportedly crash landing on the runway people are said to be trapped inside the asiana airline boeing triple seven as be no information on casualties or the cause of the accident so far off eight his fighters are at the scene and passengers have been witness to scaping down the emergency slides well that will bring you more on this developing story as soon as we got it. well look coming your way very shortly here on welcoming the world to will be heading to the russian city where

behind me in the eastern part of paris or rather the story bunker underneath it is the epicenter of a fresh spy scandal they had schools as the country's security services and it's from here that it's now kind francis big brother's news people monitoring the millions of phone calls text messages and e-mails. how did you sleep. the french public is actually now very much you been receiving conflicting messages from the leadership. first here we have to revelation this over america's espionage. america saying it's not what must do now it's been revealed france is itself doing exactly what it just very vocally denounced. french officials playing allegations over the country surveillance program claiming the reports are inexact revelations have added to an ever growing list of embarrassments for the country as freelance journalist robert honiss explains.

there is a very substantial operation in france are. a total of twenty listening posts across the world and five of them are in the french form of the french overseas territories one time colonnades six one in djibouti. and they have another fourteen in france itself having it proved conclusively that it's illegal and it's happening is it's so embarrassing because it fits so badly with the rhetoric of western politicians and the french are bad as the rest of going on about their values and having us be democratic and you must do everything legally and so on and the french have had a disastrous to chromatic week particularly because they lead the blocking of edward snowden. getting they failed he was on an airplane flying two thousand americans and of course he wasn't and that made them look pretty stupid because it snowden who revealed the information which enabled him to self righteous and then
