was. bolivia joys of the ranks of the out of south america and countries offering edward snowden asylum as fears mount the n.s.a. whistleblower might not be able to make it to rescues in the uk for in the state. divided egypt opponents and backers of also president morsi vald war rival rallies as us tension continues to rise amid the country's political deadlock. and the twenty third tina some university jada kicks off in russia city all with a spectacular show as the city welcomed sounds of students athletes for the games dubbed the olympics little brother.

live from our headquarters in moscow this is r.t. with me to bomb would say let's take a look at the news of the. the list of countries willing to give a sanctuary to the man who expose the n.s.a. surveillance program continues to grow bolivia has joined nicaragua and venezuela and offering asylum to edward snowden who is wanted by the u.s. now slated is believed to be stranded in the transit zone of a moscow airport after his passport was canceled by the u.s. he has previously sought refuge in a twenty one countries around the world to mark the one of them they being iceland now previously washington has been pressuring they say to reporters including personal calls from vice president joe biden urging them to turn snowden away most of the whistleblowers asylum requests have been rejected but even in the case of so successful applications as we've seen in the other states the safety may prove

tricky for the x. n.s.a. contractor that is some bottom report. 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 of a libya that followed tennis whaler earlier president nicolas maduro said that they would offer the whistleblower asylum if you could get them but also your carol i have decided to offer humanitarian asylum to the young american edward snowden in the homeland of simon bolivar and others and snowden can come and live here away from the persecution 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 has a huge job but they think they can humiliate and subdue us by blackmailing us and dictate their own terms like they did before making a change our policies there will 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 then they also could offer edward snowden asylum all of this 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 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 whichever country snowden tries to go

to found out of wide awake news that charlie mcgrath says that nations which rejected snowden's a plea did so out of fear of the u.s. and that it is despite in revealing how washington's been spying on them. the laundry list of nations that snowden has applied to for asylum include scores 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 very much a pressure rating for people like me that want to see the truth come out but we 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. right here and also appears and i say that is spying on its citizens so that it's revealed of france is running its own large scale eavesdropping program a reporter does a huge amount of phone and internet data. stored in a giant bunker and parents say without a few more details coming up a little later. egypt's security forces have reinforced they have positions off to the muslim brotherhood supporters volatile for the protests until they do place president mohamed morsi is back and problem pro reform. but today was made as interim prime minister while it now appears that the deal putting him in paula has on rebel days i kind of the scene was apparently blocked by a more hardline muslim party with authorities the same that they several options

all for the position artist isn't kind of lost. egypt still remains a shop be divided between both pro and anti morsi supporters both groups are calling for mass demonstrations on sunday so there are real concerns that you will have a teaching of violence come sunday here in town here which has been the focal point of the anti macy can kill the patient part of the week the protesters with this demanding and then celebrating the overthrow of mossi they want to make sure that they demand it still remains popular but the problem morsi supporters are vowing that they will not leave the streets until the president is reinstated now he was divine and swan's on friday night some thirty six people were killed more than a thousand injured when the two sides clashed on a local bridge the protesters filled molotov cocktails chunks of pavement blocks and stones at each other for the pitch count of three hours before the army intervened and that has raised serious questions that are not being honest with the

gyptian society as to the role and the objectivity of the military on saturday we saw many of the funerals for being victims of those who were killed in the day before i spent part of saturday filming at some of those funerals heart rendering scenes in front of the cairo university bridge men and women crying a lot of emotion but no doubt calls for tradition and for teddy ation well dr mohamed a deal as easily from the supplement to islam make a center in the u.s. believes the other mining of the poll for the ballot box will lead to chaos in egypt happening in egypt is obviously. 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 will be the first. 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 and the supporters of more street 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 democracy anymore that's that's the rule of the jungle meanwhile economists are predicting egypt's fragile financial position could be at even greater risk global transport consul general to cement a says in a poor country and a leader can reach at the top by a mob rule but if they done to live up they want a last bit with 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 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. now for the latest updates on of the ongoing turmoil in egypt as well as. the clashes between the rival groups they head to a website. called probably better with more news off to the subway.

from here that it's now kind francis big brother's moves which most people know me touring millions of phone calls text messages faxes and e-mails. telling me i look like i the french public you know very much you they've been receiving conflicting messages from their leadership like the first few weeks after the revelation was over america's espionage a long job in america say it's fine it's not what must do now it's been revealed france is a child doing exactly what it just very vocally denounced. french officials are downplaying allegations over the country surveillance program claiming the reports are inexact the revelations have added to an adult growing list of embarrassments for the country as freelance journalist robert hahn is experience. 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 colonies six one in djibouti. and they have another fourteen in france itself having it prove conclusively that it's illegal and it's happening is it's so embarrassing because it's 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 had a disastrous to christmas week particularly because they made the blocking of edward snowden. getting paid for what he was on an airplane flying two thousand american and a cause 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 measure you know had this happen limone which is a big newspaper in france of course reveal that the french were doing themselves

investors are now preparing a massive project dried in america's backyard the construction of a candle connecting the atlantic to the pacific ocean through nicaragua is a jew to begin next year sponsored by chinese for artie's k.v. pilgrim reports. 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 and degree of his funding 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 that it will be able to see that the plan is to build one hundred seventy eight mile was 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 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. and. you wouldn't really sort of think about putting one in the ground who were anyway it was a really good one. but with terms it 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 you to the west coast we just doesn't make any sense. but the investors behind the project insist that world trade needs . 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 project succeeds. increasing numbers of britons heading to food banks to satisfy their hunger but the work and pensions been so claims half a million people just want to have the abating still for free and denies a link between the rise in food banks and cuts in benefits artie's surf earth has. thirty might be a word this until not long ago was rarely used now though it's on everyone's lips in real terms as a stereotype bites feed poverty is rising half a million people are now dependent on food 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 food distribution course in the kitchen with the warring gradients. and this is a six day week operation so it all gets kicked him kicking thoughts nice and early and then once it's done it's all centered and turned the cold bit accepted by your good. 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.

replies. and then say out how the carriage be operating. six days a week yeah it's a big operation in a thousand people work for you they. get government funding or used to unfortunately council their funding for all the day centers so now we're on the wrong foot luckily we got a couple supermarkets interested in diverting the food from. this would normally or the strawberries bananas examining would normally end up and landfill. 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 assert to become even more pivotal in the future the government might just of announced another round of paying for the stories he wishes but the truth is for the u.k. to stay on this deficit reduction part of what many in government know is looking

forward to the future past the next election is that there could be much much worse to come sarah. lunde and now for some other incessant news in brief this hour an airline there has crash landed at san francisco international airport leaving at least two dead in the two hundred and three injured asiana boeing triple seven came to rest or just off the runway before bursting into flames i wouldn't speak on the plane's tail section breaking off just before touchdown a pilot apparently made no distress calls prior to landing the south korean flight had to fourteen from salt had three hundred three passengers and crew on board. at least one person has been killed after a train carrying crude oil do railed and burst into flames in canada's province of quebec a number of people are missing as the explosion leveled dozens of nearby buildings while around a thousand people were forced to flee their homes their amateur footage shows the

intensity of the blaze while reports a large amount of toxic chemicals are spilled into a river close to the sea. now the long awaited a world a university games got underway with a spectacular major welcome the world to the capital of russia's republic of tatarstan now the multi-sport competition of the some my universe twenty thirteen is seen as a major step along the road to russia's high sing off future high profile sporting events and president vladimir putin took his place in the front row pos got was at the ceremony for us but have just come from the stadium where you can see behind me of the thing is russia russian history and russian culture is a rare opportunity for russia to show off russia to the rest of the world what russia does indeed have to offer. is being beamed live into a one hundred eighty different countries and viewers are being treated to a combination of dogs music fireworks and i say

a rather remarkable pyrotechnic display as well but this has been five years in the planning since because it was awarded the games back in two thousand and eighteen since then the city has gone all undergone a scene complete overhaul of its infrastructure in terms of the number of competitors these games a second only to the summer olympics being in prison for a couple of days to see how preparations are coming along over the course of the next fortnight more than thirteen thousand athletes from one hundred seventy different countries are to descend on cars with 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 all still being applied to some of the venues the message is clear. is ready. every time you. have a mixed feeling you are excited that it's stress you know that everything is going to go well that you don't have any trash. whether it's just it's.

even if sometimes of the a little bit too late we go there with the will be ready on time. some of the things this is. hosting an event like this doesn't come cheaply official estimates say these games cost up to find a billion u.s. dollars. a complete overhaul of its infrastructure with the development of new hotels and new transport network installed. around the sixty four. at the built from scratch on this. spectacular. because.

it's also said to be a. football world cup but of course it's not just. 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. 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. to begin procedures and begin procedures a big parts. are to be just to see and i think this is the only. public project that's ever seen that building would not be on the. project. 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 super excited. happy. yeah it's exciting it's nice that 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 hearing including boxing was complete idiots and now i'm off to the university that would be a great increase in boys and girls willing to learn books in such a great atmosphere. be conspiring the next generation of sporting greats has the objective of hosting events like this then russia will get. over the next few yeas the world athletics championships winter olympics will 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. because. by now max guys all ruffled the feathers of the world's financial pulp player in the crime report ahead. as a personal lives in russia i get asked very often why automated 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 and 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 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.
