breaking news starting this hour on r t five carriages of a passenger train at the rails in southern russia tonight leaving over seventy people injured just ahead. also. whistleblower on the run edward snowden could be hiding out in latin america with the leaders of three countries they're ready to grant him political asylum this after his latest league surveiled of brazil and russia being targeted by the u.s. snooping program. egypt rocked by deadly clashes between backers and opponents of the ousted leader mohamed morsi as russia's president putin warns against an escalation in what all out civil war now. also this week two with no sign of a letter from the guantanamo bay hunger strike now doing six months prison guards

are resorting to new harsh techniques to try to end the standoff. in your moscow tonight thanks be with our breaking news story then a passenger trains veered off the tracks in south russia leaving at least seventy dead let's get the latest. other andrew this time the last couple of hours didn't bring us up to speed please yeah just to reemphasize it seventeen injured fifteen of those have been taken to hospital and we believe that five of those are young children it happened just south of a time called rostov on don in southern russia we understand that five of the trains nineteen carriages overturned including the train's engine when the train driver performed an emergency stop he has since said he did this because he saw that the train tracks him for. we're actually called there's been some speculation

why that might have been make a case there has been a heat wave in that part of russia over the last week with temperatures in excess of thirty degrees to something that might have buckled the tracks others are saying that part of the track may have been stolen but no doubt this will will form part of any investigation and the russian interior ministry has actually said it was actually ruled out any terrorist attack six hundred passengers were on board this train it was a large train traveling from over severe skin siberia all the way to add on the south coast of russia but this accident happened about four hundred kilometers north of there. the emergency services now say that they have completed treating everybody that they can at the scene but the latest is that over seventy people are injured fifteen of those have been taken to hospital in five days are young children ok i understand. under the farm with. three latin american countries have said that they're ready now to grant asylum to edward snowden the leaders of

bolivia venezuela and nicaragua are offering a helping hand to the man who exposed the u.s. government's global surveillance web washington's aggressive pursuit of the whistleblowers prompted those leaders to rally around the former n.s.a. contractor is innocent no way as the latest. thanks not in song goes by says though with a latin american twist a glimmer of hope after living in limbo for weeks then as well nicaragua and bolivia offered the n.s.a. leaker asylum after european countries rejected his official request for most of the week if snowden himself didn't know where his future would be taking him then we certainly didn't and this really it was thought ecuador might be a possibility but president gray is sentiment toward snowden shifted suddenly saying their help with initial transport documents was a mistake then as well as more durable made his country stand clear this weekend saying snowden can come and live in the land of chavez quote away from the

persecution of american imperialism but only after bolivia's ever morale us was detained and denied airspace over europe for some fourteen hours while his presidential plane was searched for snowden in an exclusive interview with our team around reacted to what bolivia called a kidnapping is huge and they think they can humiliate and subdue us by blackmailing us and dictate their own terms like they did before making us change our policies they're wrong we'll make our own decisions and they can't pressure us into doing what they want. latin america united with their condemnation social media rock did with claims the u.s. was behind the move and europe a puppet washington remain silent they have made a serious mistake because this is just one more example of the way things are going to be not only throughout latin america but throughout the world already where you

have powerful hegemonic totally disrespectful towards the national sovereignty of all countries even their allies snowden's leaks help reveal how the u.s. was cold war style tapping their closest e.u. partners 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 see these european nations just kind of ignore this outright spying that's out of thirteen for snowden at all cost and he's the now i r t moscow. media so publish what's said to be an official asylum request from snowden in a letter written last sunday the government doesn't confirm whether this letter is actually or frantic but let's take a look at what it says anyway snowden apparently says that he fears the u.s. prosecution after supposing his government's violations of the constitution and un treaties the whistleblower says he doesn't think he's going to get

a fair trial he says he could face life in prison or the death penalty if he returns home but as i talk to dr francisco domingo as he's the head of latin american studies at middlesex university and he joins us from london dr thanks for being with us much appreciated the us is the main buyer of course of venezuelan oil is crack is really going to risk the sale of what nine hundred thousand barrels a day just to shelter one whistleblower. i think the question of principle is not just about one individual i think it's particularly regarding this individual revealing. this been a huge amount of discomfort and this content in the european countries who suffer from this is spying. for germany a few others were already raised the alarm about this is now we just learned yesterday or today millions of brazilians are to be inspired so it's about the principle of it and this individual has actually made the world the world of it

that's the reason why i think. bolivia going for it was. the same way it gave julian a star just silent but it's not doing the same now what's the difference. world mind understanding is the position of career a few days ago was that if snowden makes it to the corner or an embassy in moscow he he will be granted asylum i think in that sense for countries that because they give snowden asylum. as far as the american countries are concerned they've made angry noises to washington but hey we've heard the same thing from the e.u. as well but not much more it's been simply noise is that as far as it's going to go far as latin american countries are concerned as well. this is really being very strongly worded statement from one of the units of american nations which is extremely strong include brazil argentina venezuela and everybody else there and

then there is those who have been a very strong words of condemnation a rejection of what was done to morale is. the common cause of latin american caribbean the studies this is being followed by various representations of moral is and others are making in the nonaligned movement this is going to raise in the united nation i don't think you can compare the reaction the very very very strong reaction by the by latin america with what europe is doing. what is much more a moderate when it comes to losing out the battle of either side when it comes to washington latin american states who is set to lose the most if this gets worse we talked about the oil losses as well as all losses just now potentially who is going to come on the. come over on the wrong foot here. i think it is sounds like you know the united states seems to be

a pretty badly. latin american nations to such a way as somebody already mentioned these are pieces that the european nations do not have an independent point foreign policy of the united states who's going to lose much more out of the united states country after country latin america and distancing themselves of comically politically and even militarily from the united states in geopolitical bridgette rearrangement that is taking place as we speak a lot in. very very strongly and steadily towards asia particularly china and the united states should be more careful i mean it doesn't have many ambassadors in the but at least two or three countries and into conflict literally every single time it doesn't look good and it doesn't do the united states any favor in the silence from obama speaks volumes dr weil on the one thing i also like to ask you is well there's often a disparity isn't there between what's said publicly and what goes on behind closed

doors and i'm glad merkel of course has expressed outrage over the n.s.a. spying on europe and its citizens but now today even german media quoting edward snowden who says the n.s.a. is in bed with the germans just like other western states quote it is not all. one doesn't know exactly what sort of agreements are taking place and what level of corroboration of the even collusion taken place discerns one gets government seems to be one thing and security services and intelligence services seems to operate in a different level. from what we see pretty independently from. that seems to be the difficulty so i think we have to wait and see how these prizes because there is no other word for it to call it unravels and i think the united states it's got a lot of planing to do so. really it doesn't look good if the europeans don't insist on these equations dr francisco dominguez head of latin american studies middlesex university thanks for time. right now if you're looking for the latest

updates and edward snowden or mr key development over the past few days we got off you on our website we invite you to check out the timeline of r.t. dot com complete with fresh updates opinions and plenty more to. egypt's slip back into political deadline didn't deadlock this week of mass celebrations after the country deposed its first democratically elected leader then turned into those deadly clashes between supporters and opponents of mohamed morsi a new interim government slowly being formed but millions of fearful of what lies for the country shortly over the next couple of days and weeks as paulus leah reports now. egypt's back in the headlines but for all the wrong reasons a week of street battles mass crowds a divided country on the brink of civil war this is the street where the worst violence in cairo happened even thirty five people killed more than a thousand injured the mood is extremely tense friends family and supporters

shouting crying a lot of emotion and the country's bracing itself for more u.s. issued military combat boots stand guard the newly installed all means not taking any chances if no clear government changes where the status quo in egypt is on the brink of disaster comes running up for egypt to enact. their real policy and real changes on the one side the millions who rallied for the ouster of the muslim brotherhood president mohamed morsi they got what they wanted went on wednesday the army took over across the bridge those who want him reinstated both sides are talking war i want to say to the american states and to the wall and to the whole wall and to the west to europe be careful if you join the army there gyptian army or the head of the egyptian army to destroy the islamists that means that your turn in this country to up plays that will produce what i love out of islamists i

there's a strong feeling of deja vu after just a year in office the muslim brotherhood leaders have joined the predecessor imprisoned president hosni mubarak both now sitting in the same jail. america's betting on a losing horse by selling out to the islamists where is the america that calls for freedom why have they allowed this to happen ever does freedom mean shutting down islamic t.v. trying to ask god does it mean shutting down used paper certain niinimaa hair watches events unfold from his balcony this cup question lives in an apartment overlooking to his square he says it's now each option pitted against egypt this. as something that completes the first evolution. the decision was incomplete but i have been. limited to retake in control of the country for more than a year and then. using that democracy in a very bad way by giving. the country

to the muslim brotherhood which are the worst people to be told the country this is that much of the and i would like you to join me in our journeys through time travel back in time travel to unravel discoveries discover evolution that made egypt and the element that made egypt revolution able us mid-city because one of the few taking advantage of the constant turmoil he offers foreign tourists a v.i.p. revolutionary to it includes a quick look at a few well that mostly through the cars window and now i'm so as spoken thanks to that evolution i used to stammer and stutter and flounder now you see my speech flows like a mighty stream momus like british people but most tourists are staying away while the country plummets unemployment's up and the egyptian pound is fast losing its already weakened value as supporters on both sides brace for more confrontations many fear the situation will only go from bad to worse policy r.t. . russia's president's war the situation in egypt could escalate into

a much more severe conflict. suitors are fortunate syria is already in the gulf in a civil war which however said it seems to be a good and egypt is moving in the same direction as we wish the egyptian people can avoid the stranger to the facility. where we caught up with a former head of the arab league because no one of the top opposition figures in egypt told artie's bell true that democracy is not just down to the ballot box. the security forces the armed forces are trying to maintain law and order in the streets going forward in a solid way that would allow the country to be. to get back on track but moments after the ouster of mohamed morsi we had reports of hundreds of missing by that officials who were arrested the president himself was put under house arrest with no communication t.v. networks were shut down people are calling this a military coup how can you defend that everybody so millions of people pouring

into the streets so it was not a coup it was a popular uprising if not their revolution that is not enough to be ballot box approving you and then you just sit and enjoy your life and let the people go down the drain i don't know how some people in. certain way of thinking believe that democracy is just the books of the ever got the majority over there has the right to do or not to do anything how can you include the muslim brotherhood and its political parties like the freedom and justice party in the political roadmap of egypt if their leaders of being arrested yes yes egypt is and in. and unprecedented exceptional circumstances some precautionary measures would be taken but i hope at the end it is fairness and the rule of law that would prevail. if it's not a genetically modified dog for europe britain urges the queue to ease its

restrictions on g.m. products despite concerns that consumers have been treated like guinea pigs report i'm not sure.

of a buy prisons nine hundred six months was no sign of a resolution guards at the u.s. military jail in cuba are resorting to the new harsh tactics to try to force an end to the protest reportedly slamming cell doors now up to three hundred tons of night to keep prisoners awake sleep deprivation is allegedly linked to the upcoming ramadan. asked when force feeding will be conducted the detainees lawyers to warn

that in view of the image we condition keeping them awake could be highly dangerous of the one hundred six prisoners now refusing food forty five being subjected to force feeding the u.s. government's defended the practice in the face of criticism from human rights groups he's going to cheat you can invest. the u. one cost for the u.s. to stop force feeding guantanamo hunger strikers the practice is against international law and is seen by many as a form of torture and here is one first the guards strap the detainee down to a chair like this one then they put a mask over his face so that the detainee can't move bite or spit then the nurse snakes the feeding tube into a nasal cavity the feeding tube which is roughly the size of a pen and ink cartridge or this or this is not an actual feeding tube but it gives you an idea and this area is very rich in endings and patients report extreme pain during the procedure and the nurse pushes the tube further down the throat creating

a tightness that makes breathing difficult at that point patients typically feel pressure on their chest along some say it feels like they were drowning then the staff tapes the troops to the detainees know so that they can buy it or swallow it and then two cans of nutritional substances are being funneled through the tube now we rode to guantanamo and asked whether they use an anesthetic for this seemingly painful procedure here's the response typically not however it is available if the detainees request that most detainees prefer to use standard all of oral to lubricate due to your west of us are trying to make it sound like it's not as bad but here's how one of the detainees a yemeni man somewhere in r.g. office on the bell describes what force feeding actually feels like i will never forget the first time they passed a feeding tube. i can't describe how painful it is to be force fed this way as it

was thrust it made me feel like throwing up i wanted to vomit but i couldn't there was going in my chest throat and stomach i had never experienced such pain before i would not wish this cruel punishment upon anyone we also asked the kuantan official how many detainees was this the procedure and how many give their consent to it and he went back saying the majority of the detainees report compliantly and do not resist detainees are given a choice to eat a hot meal drink the liquid new trend or be enthralled fed taney see the choice differently take a listen. when they come to force me into the chair if i refuse to be tied up they call the e r f t so i have no choice either i can exercise my right to protest my detention and be beaten up or i can submit to painful force feeding for most people these detainees are out of sight out of mind as sudden as it is they see physical suffering as the only way to draw the world's attention to their plight we can't hear their voices but here's what they write i'm doing this because i want to know

my destiny i cannot abide not knowing anymore i just hope that because of the pain we are suffering the eyes of the world will once again look to guantanamo before it is too indefinite detention is the worst form of torture respect us or kill us it's your choice the u.s. must take off its mess and kill us the obama administration doesn't want inmates to die but neither is it in a rush to give the detainees their lives back in washington i'm going to check on. britain's pushing for a lift of the e.u.'s tight regulations on genetically modified food with the country's environment so what are you saying g.m. farming is actually safer than many of the alternatives but despite government ministers apparent enthusiasm for biotech parliament cafeterias of bands g.m.

products from their menus g.m. products and deal usually associated with staple crops like corn rice etc but they can find their way into many items ranging from meat to milk to chocolate to row ninety percent of all biotech seeds are owned by the u.s. giant monsanto which is accused of stifling small businesses and driving some farmers to ruin even suicide meantime the alarm is being raised over the health implications of genetically doctored food regine from simple allergies to deadly immune system problems but is probably boy who investigates. it's controversial but britain's environment secretary says that the public should embrace genetically modified food is a hard sell though campaign is say it's dangerous to human health whereas the scientific community supports the technology and if it is a safe as they and the government are sure it is and the argument for g.m. food is quite compelling it would allow farmers to grow crops in tough conditions and thus help to feed hungry mouths around the world the u.s. and brazil already must have produces of the stuff and the british government says

the u.k. shouldn't be getting left behind to talk more about this i'm joined by dr robert he's the founder of the alliance for natural health which campaigns against g.m. foods. there are a billion hungry mouths in the world and we're being told that this technology is safe shouldn't we embrace it in that case well if you look at all the real developments in raising eels it hasn't actually occurred through g.m. it's occurred through conventional breeding practices and we know that the european authorities have probably one of the most comprehensive evaluation systems compared with other parts of the world but only two crops have actually got through the net for cultivation over fifty have been approved for consumption but of course the majority of it is given to animals and not to humans what are the risks in this case how is it dangerous to human health there's been a lot of g.m. produced of course a large amount of it going to animals but the u.s. population has been eating a lot of g.m. corner a lot of g.m.

soy and they say well we can't see the effect we believe looking at humans as guinea pigs is not a great way of doing it particularly given the fact that we're only looking at really one or two generations of exposure why is the government so keen to develop this technology in that case and who would be benefiting from it if they did there are about a half a dozen companies that are the key players in this areas of which monsanto is the biggest and they've been putting huge pressure on governments they're all doing that the biggest problem is concentrating the agricultural. source and particularly seed supply in the hands of a few companies and these companies have a lot of sway with the major governments in the world including the u.k. government to vacate many thanks for your comments but as one environmental group said the british government's attempt to get g.m. food back on the menu is like flogging a dead horse and despite any of the scientific arguments for it one thing that you can't argue with is that g.m. food just doesn't have a good reputation a survey last month showed that only twenty one percent of the u.k.

population supports the technology. i see london. but as a breaking news story this hour of seventy people have been injured after a passenger train derailed in the south of russia the transport investigators say eleven carriages veered off the tracks some of them overturned sixteen passengers have been rushed to hospital including five children haven't been any fatalities reported so far at least that accident on the road five pm moscow time in the region officials have ruled out terrorism as a possible cause they say it was probably because of a technical failure the driver had to apply the emergency brakes apparently after he saw the trucks were wart will bring in more about as the information comes in throughout the night i'll be here for a good few hours yet now after the break to investigate claims of government and corporate corruption behind one of the worst oil spills in history so next program soon.

south carolina is playing around with the idea of using sheen 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. 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 v 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 she think to me but that's just my opinion. story be beaming ins in iran. british geologists discovered iran was sitting on an emotional oil and they decided they would take and they formed the anglo persian oil company and maybe deal with the

iranian monarchy. then guaranteed itself all iran's oil. shortly after that the british government bought fifty one percent of the company and of the suggestion of winston churchill the british navy switched tree coal to oil the war ships the projected british power all of the world were now running one hundred percent oil wrong. and then in one nine hundred fifty two zero ronnie and decided to take their oil. the democratically elected government of prime minister mohammad most an act nationalize the anglo iranian oil company. he banished all the british diplomats and along with them the secret agents who were plotting his overthrow so prime minister churchill asked president eisenhower to overthrow most and act on their behalf the cia and the british helped stage the coup that ended the last democratic government in iran ever. after most of that was

overthrown he was sentenced to three years in the president and house arrest for life. after the cia deposed most at a place mohamed raise ashot power the shah ruled for twenty five years with pressure until finally spoke provoked them eight hundred seventy nine islamic revolution. with fundamentalists clerics now in power the company that would eventually be known as b.p. was forced to look elsewhere for their own. oil.

we're all the product of our environment. i grew up in a place believe. this is one part of dances to a different. louisiana's in my blood it shaped who i am. a lot of people i grew up with became fishermen or musicians or oil workers. or shops. i became from. my family has deep roots in the easy and. the do praise the daily bars in the show bands all immigrated from france and settled in this region over a hundred years ago. and when oil was discovered we released our land to the oil companies. the oil companies supplied the jobs and the money.

and we all went along for the ride. in the gulf of mexico. coast state an accident old piece by piece the rig known as the deepwater horizon was drilling in over a mile of water and over three miles. on april twentieth two thousand and ten approximately nine forty five pm. methane gas from the well ignited. eleven workers were never found. the deepwater horizon sank on the morning of april twenty second birthday. shortly thereafter the u.s. coast guard began to observe an oil slick spreading from where the rig once stood

in the well as blasting full force individual and recorders or at least not meanwhile no plates are not there for eighty seven days that oil would flow without pause leaving the u.s. government the oil industry and the world scrambling for solutions or to steal told the truth is we don't know when that's going to start doing everything we can finally on july fifteenth the well was capped and the oil stops flowing and the world turns its attention elsewhere but the story wasn't over it was a bigger story. southern united states is sort of the rehearsal for us imperialism. the first twenty years there were companies had in the twentieth century in the easy and there was no tax on what there appropriating from the resale the sociologist called internal formula is we're kind of a colony of the united states for

a colony where you can get oil and gas you take all the resources but you really don't ever correct the problems of government and the corrupt state as the demand for oil growth the oil companies grew in power. ran louisiana there was no one could stand up to them. until a larger than life character came along. he called himself the confession managing . or you can be and you have. been very well he was a populist very much for the little man against big corporations and the exploitation of the state by big corporations but out of it they ran the fact that they put the element out there now that. he made his reputation on fighting federal and getting them to pay for things that the state could not afford on its own and we may really have to take root. and not i don't know and the it i had

not. the reason why our standard came here is because we had something that they would so he made them pay for his position was that these resources balonne to the people of louisiana imam ali. i met that man i think that the faith of that didn't have it but i'm happy that people say if you're going to do the things that he want to do provide better roads provide that ahead. people provide books for poor people you had to have money in the people who headed my would want to phone and. create a very polarized political system people into whom. look like robin hood he was taken from the church and redistribute among those who did not have enough when he starts to go after standard oil he ends up becoming the target of impeachment

attempts i was elected through the louisiana three or maybe. when they tried to impeach me not be done when. so many the upper class went on the record saying that something needs to be done about the playground again to describe. a month after announcing that he would run for president long was shot in the louisiana state house in baton rouge on september eighth one thousand nine hundred thirty five his bodyguards riddled the assassin with thirty bullets huey died two days later at the age of forty two. his last words were don't let me die i've got so much to do. this if we gave them or would put after you almost dead their old companies which

have been treated as adversaries have become the sophisticated allies of the powers that be with the kingfish out of the way the oil companies power in the e.c.n. a grew on a beta and they drilled wherever they wanted it's been a symbiotic relationship for about one hundred years where you have two massive employers the fisheries and big oil and it's really become a part of louisiana's called mississippi's culture that big oil needs to happen because it's what keeps the food on people's place. in one thousand nine hundred thirty eight the first offshore oil discovery in the gulf of mexico was the creole field near cameron louisiana they drilled in about twelve feet of water there are more than four thousand production platforms drilling rigs off the louisiana coast it is like a steel forest out there. originally the original run off the coast but as those fields played out they were going to moving further and further as they

develop the technology to pound the chutes drilling platforms one of those companies that was aggressively pushing into the deepest and most risky. was b.p. . by the one nine hundred sixty s. b.p. developed a reputation for taking on the riskiest ventures. b.p. massive profits it also warned them the worst safety record in the industry. in one nine hundred sixty seven the torrey canyon an oil tanker chartered by b.p. ran aground off the coast of england over one hundred tons of crude oil dumped into the atlantic and onto the beaches of cornwall. and britney the largest oil spill ever. around the time of the torrey canyon spill a young man joined b.p. as an apprentice he eventually rose through the ranks to leave b.p. his name was john brown brown acquired other oil companies transforming b.p. into the third largest oil company in the world in response to negative press on

b.p.'s poor safety standards brown replanted the company with an eco friendly logo and renamed the company beyond petroleum he also initiated rapid expansion and drove record profits one of the ways he did this was by ruthlessly cutting costs. was much. higher on march twenty third two thousand and five fifteen people died in the explosion at b.p.'s texas city refinery one hundred seventy more were injured to save money major upgrades to the one nine hundred thirty four refinery had been postponed. brown pledged to prevent another catastrophe three months later b.p.'s giant new production platform in the gulf of mexico. nearly sank because of a workman's error and then in march two thousand and six a hole in b.p.'s probe

a pipeline caused over a quarter of a million gallon oil leak. the worst spill ever on alaska's north slope b.p.'s cost cutting and poor maintenance of the pipelines was responsible. in may two thousand and seven after committing perjury regarding his involvement in the sex scandal brown was succeeded by a new rising star his name was tony hayward. he word promised that he would be focused on safety like a laser this is a fundamental lack of leadership and management in the area of safety. the deepwater horizon had just completed drilling the deepest well ever in north america b.p. hoped the rig could extract oil record apps in the gulf of mexico but eleven days before the disaster on april ninth drilling mud pressure dropped and the oil well showed signs of a dangerous gas build up. the president's commission on the oil spill would later

find that b.p. and its contractors ordered the crew to ignore the rigs warning systems and keep drilling according to the christian science monitor on the day of the explosion a team of engineers who had flown to the rig to run a critical safety test were ordered by b.p. to skip the test instead. b.p. threw a party aboard the deepwater horizon to celebrate the rigs flawless safety record the engineers were air lifted off the rick. twelve hours later. the safety alarms and shut down systems that could have saved lives and possibly altered history had been manually disabled so the rig could drill faster. wealthy british scientists out. fast not on time right.
