was a blow on the run edward snowden could be heading to latin america with the leaders of the three countries they're ready to grant him political asylum. that's as a whistle blower as most recent revelations are suggesting european nations are fully cooperating with the n.s.a. surveillance program which is in marked contrast to their public anger at the extent they were snooping. right you're looking at live pictures from to heal square way egypt is engulfed in a deadly clashes as apposed to form an interim government have so far ended in failure leaving many fearing the conflict could lead to civil move. and god said guantanamo bay prison are turning to harsh new tactics to break the
7:01 pm
mass hunger strike by inmates which has now entered its six month. live from our headquarters in moscow are you watching our team for this week so the weekly with me to them would say. venezuela says it's still waiting to hear if edward snowden will take up asylum offer as the monday deadline set by caracas approaches one of three latin american countries alongside believe you're in nicaragua offering to help the man who experienced the u.s. government's crable surveillance web the leaders of the three nations are say their decision to help a former n.s.a. contractor is prompted by washington's heavy handed manhunt artes and it has. i think snowden's longer spice is out with a latin american twist a glimmer of hope after living in limbo for weeks then as well nicaragua and
7:02 pm
bolivia for the n.s.a. leaker asylum after a 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 did and this really it was far 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 stands 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
7:03 pm
a spy blackmailing us and dictate their own terms like they did before making us change our policies there would make our own decisions and they can pressure us into doing what they want. latin america united with their condemnation social media rocketed 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 our eyes 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 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
7:04 pm
a bit frustrating to see these european nations just kind of ignore this outright spying that's out there searching for snowden at all cost and he's now r.t. moscow now the most recent revelations to murder from snowden's disclosures suggest the e.u. states a closer relationship with the n.s.a. than many would like to admit and interview published in the spirit of the whistleblower alleges that the n.s.a. that is in that bed with germany and most other western states regarding secret surveillance operations now he says the partnership is structured to protect a top level politicians from any backlash should word of the collusion between spy agencies ever get out the revelations run contrary to berlin's show of surprise at the scale of a us electronic snooping with chancellor angela merkel accusing the u.s. of using cold war tactics less discuss this now with the journalist manual and
7:05 pm
writer who's joining us from berlin also right to what extent do you think germany may have corporate it with the n.s.a. surveillance. well i think it's a matter of we know that the german or for that he is the german mainstream politics the german government they all call races and they're very intensely with us and have a chance and i. we're to use the term cooperation for this because when we look exactly on what is going on that they were spying on german citizens we have to say that the german government behaved who bore. us government in this question more or less like a us puppet regime is there is no claim for civil rain no claim for independence the court no claim for the privacy for the rights of privacy of their own citizens so it's the germans that are not all perfect this by their own government drew some
7:06 pm
governments out of privacy the privacy of the german citizens who the u.s. government and this is a really really serious case and the big scandal right now do you think that that supposition is the way insulated in case of scandal yet now they seem to be outraged what you're saying is that they might be doing this because of the public outrage what's got them all angry that if that's the case that they didn't know or that they did not know about the scale of the operation that they would to being spied on. to be honest i believe they are angry that it came to public that now all the facts are open that the citizens can see what is going on because i wouldn't believe and you weren't right now often government politician by the way also most often oppositional politician in the german parliament we have to know that the government before the market government was the government was built by that for these opposition and they cooperated as well with you with americans as
7:07 pm
the good days governments are doing do and when we listen very well to the merit of the mainstream politicians in germany we. look shocked if the patients off the. cooperation how they call it they say it's for our security they say that this is a partnership that this is the friendship but of course if you are spying and we have to watch a little bit back in the past we had in the one thousand nine hundred procida it was also it was somewhere you can buy approach in europe especially in germany and this mine project was especially for economic and german companies the german economy was. more of a money toward the u.s. secret service so what we see here is that germany's behave more or less like well let me say and i just stayed fully under control of the us because i want any independence and this temple is small shops that. are doing this real scandal is
7:08 pm
this a german polish takes are not doing some good they. say that this is when beyond agreements between the countries in terms of what they can share what they can and in terms of sharing information so how does this of i think the politicians within knowing that they've been spite of all that the agreement they that so you say yes they did know about this but to the extent that they have been spied on i mean this goes beyond. when just their own citizens it goes into spying within politicians as war how are they reacting to that or is this going to create tension between the u.s. and its allies now are they not seeing this are we just reading too much into something that's just been happening anyway. we are now in a very interesting time in germany because we have in september the elections and i think this spying scandal is really really just hurting the election campaigns of
7:09 pm
all mainstream parties because they are all involved in this kind of so what they are doing now is that they try to give the impression that. they knew about this so-called cooperation but that they are completely surprised about how far it went and to be honest i wouldn't believe and hurt because we had already the experience in the pot of how far as the americans are going and how they treat their so-called allies or they don't call them partners so the german politicians let me finish with one sentence if they are really so upset and so surprised. then we have to be consequences and there are many consequence we could do with for example that was invented or is not going to with strength solar and it's really criticize that there is diplomatic protest for example that we make it into an issue that we have on till today you would somewhere you can bury us american troops i'm sure i'm fine
7:10 pm
and we know that those military bases are also you would throw the end is a prone shake that we. americans to our cause or our politicians invite them in our country to establish their military and intelligence they was there so the german politicians want to do something it is very easy for them just expel the u.s. american military bases don't make any more germany into the military aircraft carrier in europe of the u.s. americans it won't be easy but they will not lose because his aides believe in this partnership or it's not a partnership. so how does the spying on need is then said with the the intelligence community called for eighteen months is that a sign that the u.s. does not trust its allies always or just keeping a close eye on its allies. i think this shows a lot about the attitude with the us americans or the us american government has to more lies because we are never talking about
7:11 pm
a partnership we are talking about politics they want to be a control a partnership is something of a partnership is when two countries make an agreement with each other what we see here is that the us are getting for control and for control of those countries i'm not sure if this will really bring mistrust within you bureaucracy because these people are used to this and pretty sure if they are really upset because they know all the interesting question is how long will the population be so intolerant to be are those problems this is the interesting question i just want just one more for you in terms of the story itself i mean we've now been focusing a lot on snowden the mad instead of what he's actually been seeking do you think would just kind of missing a politician all the u.s. is trying to cover all of this by focusing on him rather than what actually snowden keeps on releasing. well i don't know. this might be interesting it might be
7:12 pm
interesting but snowden has on his floor that talks the talk with him and i'm pretty much sure that those information we got until now are not really all it's not really one hundred percent of what he had with him i think you know he lost it in moscow and i think the russians are very interested in the content and of course the german again i'm i'm from germany again michael this is my government they should be really interested in the content of the full scale of this and. if they really want to know this but i don't see that right now but i think in the near future we will get maybe a lot of surprise how intense this buying is really. well this story keeps on surprising us as a day that my new elephant like oh there he is from germany speaking to us live via an r.t. thank you for your thoughts. right if you're looking for the latest updates on ed

7:17 pm
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. . middle east analyst danny believes that the army in egypt is far too involved in the politics of the country i don't believe that that's how you bring about democracy and in fact what the army is is showing at the moment is that it's reasserting its position as a political king maker indeed choosing a compliant figures who could you know who they could put in power so as to preserve their own interests and that's why we're seeing how they are delivering a ready made interim government essentially manufacturing democracy but of course democracy is about the will of the people and the people have spoken last year and that's precisely why the muslim brotherhood supporters are calling for the president to be reinstated as the legitimacy of the people to be restricted but he has also to be highlighted that the major failure of the army here is to protect
7:18 pm

7:21 pm
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 taped the troop to the detainees nose so that they can bite or swallow it and then two cans of nutritional substances are being funneled through the tube now we wrote 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 attorneys prefer to use standard all of oral to lubricate through to us of us are trying to make it sound like it's not as bad but here is how one of the detainees a yemeni man somewhere nadji all house on the bell describes what force feeding

. remember how all of a sudden an afghan card protest group became world famous and were completely forgotten by the next month yeah i'm talking about the feminist punk rock group pussy riot that performed a vulgar anti prayer and one of moscow's most famous orthodox cathedrals one possible reason for their explosive popularity in the media's eyes was revealed recently by a german actress on a book the actress claims a german t.v. channels e.d.f. paid three large undisclosed amount of money to come out on behalf of the activists band show said on a t.v. discussion that she doesn't even remember what she said except for wishing them well with dealing with their incarceration it would be very odd for an actress to just make up
7:28 pm
a bribery scandal especially one she was complicit in but it makes you wonder just how many other people's e.d.f. may have been given all extra motivation to cry travesty overall i think the most important of what her public revelation is that she said that you know what it's a bit dumb when actors talk about politics and i couldn't agree with her more but that's just my opinion. well feats science technology innovation all the moves developments from around russia we've got the future covered. the story ends in iran.
