spanish. visit. really does pay. that american corporations. are encouraged to take to the streets all across the country remains bogged down in political turmoil. believe is playing straight into the hands of. six hundred extra police to keep order the upcoming. protest.

good morning. just after ten am here in the russian capital on friday. not patriotism may be driving the telecom tech giants enthusiasm for washington's surveillance program from microsoft google the company's all raking in the cash by selling off their client data to the government and of course it's the taxpayer so stumping up the cash. has more on the surveillance price list. if you are a u.s. taxpayer whether or not you agree with the government's wholesale electronic snooping you are paying for it and you will probably never know how much exactly because for the covert world of its unaccountable spying activities the government has a black budget but some numbers or available they refer to law enforcement requests so according to last year's disclosures america's telecommunications giants bill the government just as they build their clients we have some specifics each wire

tap for example charges an activation fee of three hundred twenty five dollars plus ten dollars a day to maintain it rise then another telecommunications giant takes seven hundred seventy five dollars for for the first month and five hundred dollars each month after these numbers may not shock you into you learned that the average wiretap cost u.s. taxpayers fifty thousand dollars given the scope of surveillance that could amount to a lot of money but again these figures are based on disclosed data as we learned from a number of whistleblowers and not just edward snowden the u.s. national security agency operates under wraps under secret orders nobody knows how much exactly they spent to tap fiber optic cables or to collect data on americans and the rest of the world but we do know that the n.s.a. storage facility alone cost some one point seven billion dollars that the center in

utah is capable of storing every e-mail voice mail and social media communication it can get its hands on the government is certainly very reluctant to discuss its snooping activities with the public they just repeat the mantra it's done to keep america safe but as americans learn more about the price they pay for the presumed safety they are becoming increasingly wary in the latest polls we see a significant shift in public opinion you see three years ago twenty five percent of americans thought that the government went too far in restricting civil liberties to. three years later we see forty five percent of americans think so we see that with knowledge comes opposition how can you oppose something that you know nothing about right so perhaps not surprisingly the government is doing everything it can so that the public knows as little as possible about these programs in washington i'm going to second. guess a whistleblower edward snowden's latest leak particularly targets microsoft and

going beyond the call of duty of the family installed back door access to its services exclusively for me for that of a government surveillance now if that is the case microsoft's denial of giving out bowl data would still be true as the government wouldn't need to ask for it right mcgovern a retired cia officer he says the set up exemplifies the problem what's happened here is the us companies have become joining in a way with the united states government in such a way that you have the cooperation of the government or just the media and the congress and judiciary all pretty much joining in a complicit attempt to circumvent the constitution of the united states there is zero concern on the part of the communications companies to violate the law up they know that they'll be protected even if it's as post facto so skype of course is

where we're communicating my greetings to the n.s.a. people who are watching us by simulcast i just learned from this latest revelation that not only can they intercept our voice but they share images so hello to all the n.s.a. monitors out there. meanwhile flight from moscow which avoided flying over u.s. territory has speculation that edward snowden might be the reason for the unusual route of the plane crossing instead of going. east west over the atlantic and down the eastern seaboard it goes straight across the atlantic to its landed in cuba no reported sightings at the moment of the whistleblower edward snowden the full story right now on the web site where you can also find more reaction to snowden's avalanche of leaks as well as a timeline of events surrounding the scandal all of that right now at our dot com.

live from the now fears of imminent clashes are running high in egypt as friday's expected to see mass arrival rallies across the volatile state and supporters of the muslim brotherhood are determined to rule to be re-installed or the opposite will be celebrating the coup which alister the islamist leader mohamed morsi. joining me live for an update on this hello to you from moscow paula tell me what's the what's the atmosphere like where you're going at the moment in the transition any any progress there. while the country is bracing for

mass protests today the first friday of ramadan we are hearing from the muslim brotherhood that are plans to hold a million man march later today now the brotherhood leadership says to call to quote them that they will continue with a peaceful transition in reaction to this bloody military coup that was against constitutional legitimacy at the same time here into his square where i'm standing the last few days have been relatively quiet but this has been the at the center of the anti morsi movement and we're hearing from the tamarod organization which spearheaded these recent mass protests that saw morsy being ousted that they going to hold a mass if tara mass breaking of the fast later today it's friday they say that the intention of this is to strengthen national unity so we are expecting hundreds of thousands if not millions of people to take to the streets of egypt throughout the country today at the same time the brotherhood leadership continues to be detained the united states has criticized this what it calls the arbitrary

a race of one particular group and it is raising concerns that these arrests could scupper attempts by the interim president adly mansour to put together an interim government that will ultimately lead to democracy and the establishment of civilian rule in this country the interim prime minister has said that he still expects members of the brotherhood to be part of his cabinet now all of this comes as the united states is expected to a vote next week on new legislation what we understand is that if this motion is adopted what it will mean as a united states can continue to give aid to egypt as it's giving. what happened here a military coup all of this coming as two u. s. military navy ships that have been patrolling in the middle east to move closer to egypt's great sea coast now this is presumably some kind of precautionary move

talking to people on the streets one of the big questions people have is just how well the army is handling the situation at the moment and whether or not it will remain true to its promise to hand over to civilian rule so we took to the streets to find out what people had to say. this is the moment that egypt found the muslim brotherhood president mohamed morsi had been ousted. her square erupted with a chant of the army and the people of one hand chief of the armed forces defense minister abdul fatah c.c. became the hero of the moment however after clashes between morsi supporters and the army left over fifty people dead just days after a new interim president had been sworn in some began to fear the army would wrestle power from civilians and rule with a heavy hand why is the army in disguise making a hard stand interfering in politics but they're not really helping civilians on the ground and then you see something like the massacre by the presidential guard

club and what happened even if it was a muslim brotherhood was started this at the end of the day there is a human rights violation which is massive and severe because if you are going to shoot people who are trying to get into a building of that importance you don't actually shoot to kill a gypsy in n.g.o.s maintain the military had a terrible human rights record during their last period of rule after the ouster of hosni mubarak they were involved in killing protesters that was the accountability for any of the military crimes they torture protesters there rested they also tried to restrict freedom of expression and most of all they really monopolize decision making power when they wrote the road up at the time. the military for their parts promised in a number of televised press conferences that they were not interested in politics or reeling and instead assisting the country's movement towards a civilian democracy a hockey gyptian armed forces have issued more than one statement saying we want a real democracy in the country. the new president doesn't have enough experience

with the political situation in egypt so the military is merely supporting him in that way the muslim brotherhood attacked the military which was defending itself its offices and the institution. as the chance of those on the place where behind me indicates people turn to the army in moments of on the rest the military is the real power base here in egypt every one of the country's presidents has hailed from the armed forces except for mohamed morsi was ousted after just one year in office but apart from military money and political clout they also have significant economic interests owning several business monopolies and factories as one of the only functioning state institutions at the moment and with little civilian alternative to morsi and his mr brotherhood many people fear that the army whether it wants to or not it's once again on the country. true r.t. higher. here a doctor we spoke to middle east commentator kull shero he believes peace in

a stable political climate can only achieve through that of civil means. let's remember what their interest of the military here is it's not that continuation of a democratic rule you shouldn't the many tristan being an effective carrying out this school is to stop this threat of a genuine or popular uprising and of the day the muslim brotherhood was elected with people knowing who they were and not only if they won the presidential elections with the help of course from either political affiliations but they also want to parliamentary elections tend to forget that there is not which were cast in the parliament was also a nod and. egypt should have given the chance to the resignation towards more democratic future and carry out the process and for the muslim brotherhood to be kind of kicked out of office by resorting to the democratic process not military means. and i learned today on cross talk ati's people of elena's guests are looking

away egypt is going post-coup and whether the rule of law has been diminished within the arab world or a quick preview now of what's coming your way in an hour and fifteen minutes when i view all of you seem to do one up our lives that all of you and seek to implemented and apply on the population was how much diplomacy with how much you give and take as what's happening as we've seen with president former president morsi this would be the final outcome more than expected consequences of that model see not what are you going to tell you but what about we're going to and i'm not a dialogue why not wait until the next election to voted out of office if that's the case. are just a moment here and i'll tell you we've got the story of struggling french taxpayers as well as a look back at the epic world war two tank battle that's keeping just a moment here on.

they all told me my language as well but i will only react to situations i have read the reports. put the no i will leave them to stay clear to comment on your letter play safe. secure a car is on the job. no. thank you no more weasel words when you need a direct question he prepared for a change when you had to. be ready for a. freedom of speech and slid down the freedom to. kill the right to see. first strike. and i would think that your.

reporters twitter. and instagram. could be in the. moscow talks here with me rover sushi i belfast's police have been reinforced by more than six hundred officers from other u.k. branches as the city anticipates the annual unionist parade or the marches route has been shortened this year with a ban on an evening walk through sectarian flashpoint now unionist leaders have expressed outrage at that decision but have promised to keep any protests peaceful . has more from belfast. this parade takes place annually and considered one of the most controversial of the unionist orange orders marching

season out this year there's been some contention over the routes now normally the parade would pass the are doing shots that's considered a flash point aaron is actually about two hundred meters up the road from where i'm standing now now in the morning the small feeder parade is going to be able to march past that area enjoying the main parade but the parades commission has ruled that all to the great spanish they won't be allowed to return past that flashpoint area now that's the area where in the past we've seen tensions flare up in some violence breaking out between the unionists and the nationalist community that live there this year the marches are going to be stopped on their way back in the small feet a parade right here now that has caused some anger amongst the unionist community we've heard the orange order saying that there would be some protests in the coming days although they did say that their intention was to those to be peaceful of

course so that has caused some concern that perhaps that statement from the orange order an indication that we could see some destruction later on today and we'll be bringing you updates throughout the day as that break gets underway shortly. and always a plenty to be found just a click away on our website are two dot com for example there's our other writings on the wall for a german artist whose message projected on the u.s. embassy got quite a bit of trouble those details online for you right now with our team doctor called . and the man who risked it all to prevent a natural disaster this farmer right here colorado digging a fire line just a few feet from a huge inferno right there in a cornfield that footage also on the web site for you this hour. another mired in economic malaise and scrambling to raise money to bring down his deficit and the french government has again turned to texas to get its economy back

on track though after a host of increases just this year the finance minister has refused to rule out yet more tax hikes and twenty fourteen results is more if the national report's heavy burden is pushing independent businesses to the brink of bankruptcy it's that's half the time of slashed prices in the stores of paris but behind some of the red cross tags there are said stories. whose flour and get chopped has been in business for twenty five years it's a closing down. for many months the taxes he pays have been eaten up all his profit he simply doesn't make money anymore. they don't understand that we small business men are the engines in guarantors of the country's development and they are stifling us i can't afford starr and i do all the work myself for twelve hours a day but that isn't enough. to businessmen from china and the arab

world have already responded to his almost two hundred thousand two year offer to sum up prescott is not surprised at the lack of domestic interest french pockets he says are empty. it's a dramatic situation the same as in greece spain italy unemployment is soaring. just around the corner mario a pizza restaurant owner puts on his apron and heads to the kitchen his still hopes he can save his business and avoid setting up. we are charged too much i pay around sixty five percent of what i earn but i also have to pay my staff and i need to buy projects this means i affectively or nothing slashing public spending and hiking taxes while introducing new taxes as well was part of the socialist governments and to crisis strategy when it came to power loss here and it seems the treatment has had the opposite of the desired effect there we are suffering more

and more taxes more and more relation and more and more uncertainty the entrepreneurs don't know all the there will be treated for type one to a few and next year maybe the next month or so it's very difficult for them to to plant their activity to to plan what they have to do what they have to invest so that the we know investment we have no problem in the present we have no country no consumers to purchase more and more and said no growth. and now the tax lawyer the most so tough to specialists these days says that business meant a constantly in defensive mode and that this stops them from developing and advance in the economy. some thirty years ago there were many small businesses from paris and they punctured wells but now they've disappeared that means no more production

and people that used to work there are most likely unemployed now it's a dramatic situation. some say things could become even more dramatic very soon september is the month when the french would turn from living cations and realize that they spent all that money and it's also time for them to feeling the text of the regime's public anxiety is growing on a such a burden and many here believe that if things keep going base way anger could soon manifest itself on the streets or if not seen from paris. our straight into we go on the world update time here on the program let's go to brazil clashes are broken on protesters and police in a number of regions all of this following a one day nationwide general strike at the action was called to capitalize on a wave of mass demonstrations last month of a poverty levels and working conditions at the speed of which the protests spread forced the government to announce a referendum on political reforms. are rising also erupting in the chilean capital

santiago on a similar day of protests by the country's biggest union almost seventy people arrested at least six injured during the demonstrations abuse use of made for a working conditions there were shaping up to be one of the major issues in elections are those to be staged in four months time. in the media we go now at least five prisoners have been killed in a mass in the jailbreak in which two hundred inmates escaped huge police manhunt currently under way will say this riot may have been triggered by anger at the whole conditions which include power blackouts and water shortages fires were started in fifteen prison guards were taken hostage during this. some of the prisoners may have been suspected terrorists. and dozens of activists of interrupted a session in the portuguese parliament the government handling of the financial crisis they threw yellow and red confetti at m.p.'s

a symbol of criticism used in sporting events before then being quickly escorted out by police the ruling government has come close to collapse in just ten days of political deadlock over how to pay back its heavy debt. now it was a battle that turned the tide in world war two more than fifteen hundred russian and german tanks clashing from dawn till dusk eventually holding the nazi assault on the soviet union now though seventy years on commemorations are underway at the scene of the epic engagement with festivities and memorial service is planned throughout the day. to take a look back at a fascinating time in history. seventy years ago this area and hundreds of kilometers around it would have been full of sites like this it was summer nine hundred forty three the site of hitler's last great offensive on these fronts. millions of men and thousands of tanks and guns turned this whole area into

a giant military camp as these reactors were trying to show attacking from the north and south the germans wanted to trap soviet forces and destroy them they breached the red on the street made belts but met with for russia's resistance after a week of fighting many of the german forces when their exhaustion it was at that point that perhaps the battles most iconic moment came here on the fields around the village of profit off a german tank formation and the soviet one ran headlong into each other the ensuing battle raged for hours amid the chaos tanks round each other firing at point blank range and men screamed as they burned alive inside their vehicles thousands died on that day but it was perhaps the last attempt of the germans to assault the soviet positions even today bullets shells and metal debris from the battle of being found in the surrounding fields and woods the numbers of those directly involved in the

battle is dwindling but only they like ninety year old abrams ski can remember the true horror of it all. there were moments when clients were simply ramming each other one and top of another everything was burning nothing like this is ever happened in the history of mankind. shortly after that the germans called off their attack and began to lose territory the red army had finally beaten the germans at their own game in a large summer offensive there would be no more great german attacks on the eastern front next year in the program on r.t. we talked to ecuador's foreign minister all about whistleblower edward snowden. many in latin america are furious with the forced grounding of bolivia's president

evo morales is playing in austria and even twelve nations in latin america are coming together to discuss the consequences of the event the plane was forced to the ground while flying over the e.u. because it was believed that that sneaky snowden was hiding on board trying to get to asylum in bolivia and beyond some might say that this is no big deal so president of some contras since he had a delayed flight for a few hours things happen man but you've got to get that still guy all costs right well one is delayed flight is another man's imperial skyjacking you see the countries of latin america have a common history as being on the bad end of brutal western european imperialism and when the president of a former colony could just be abducted at the will of the you would have a plane search it sure makes you feel like you're still under the lash of foreign control doesn't it to any of you think for a moment that any e.u. officials who are so willing to groan morality would dare to do the same thing air force one i don't think so morose clearly was treated like some sort of second class president and despite this insult they didn't even catch oden this is what i

call a double fail but that's just my opinion. on this to me and those that receive and welcome to our team as a result of recent global scale events it's an american game the focus of attention i guess by these events not to granted political asylum to former cia inquiry edward snowden ecuador granting asylum to the wiki leaks founder julian assange and unlawful actions towards the president at home around. you know as he crossed. from russia back to believe you're able at airdrop to discuss these and other issues we have invited ecuadorian foreign minister ricardo patino to our program mr senor thank you for joining us here on our team or start thank you eva thank you for

inviting me i would like to greet all the people who are listening to us all over the world listening not eavesdropping. and so your comments are mccollum r.e.c. i would like to start with the most recent event that you know the president of venezuela bolivia and nicaragua has officially stated that they're willing to grant political asylum to former cia employee edward snowden revealed top secret information on the u.s. espionage program so on three to three countries are members of the legs an american corporation. so this step was perceived as a kind of collective asylum by the whole region almost what is a neighboring country offering asylum to mr snowden has been seen as of now. just. going through democratization developing in social economic and political figures in latin american countries also secured their position in the international arena and now express their own opinions the nine hundred fifty four caracas convention

on diplomatic asylum it states that latin america is concerned about human rights issues we consider julian assange and his request for asylum last year and similarly we have considered mr snowden's we welcome other countries willingness to grant asylum to mr snowden and after what happened to president david maraniss there's no doubt that snowden is being persecuted on a global level. and mr putin you are now you said that the ecuador in the story just have conceded snowden's request for asylum are you still considering it that is is ecuador still considering the possibility of granting asylum to edward snowden or is it enough that countries have offered. and in my opinion the more countries who offer asylum the better naturally ecuador is still considering this possibility but it would be better if ten twenty one hundred states offered asylum instead of just three more countries should realize what he did what he uncovered and consider granting mr snowden asylum.

if i recall r.k. asking if he got all those damn from us you know how significant is the information about the united states espionage that mr snowden revealed for ecuador ecuador has a long history of songs when it comes to the cia and. for example if he's a former cia agent revealed to us involvement in a school in acquittal. did this new information coming as it applies to the ecuadorian people or was they ready for it from a soon as a revolutionary. let's check with r.t. and also our mother no means. that it was more than just a surprise but we were outraged so we knew the u.s. was doing it but now it's been unequivocally proven it just indicates that the american intelligence agencies responsible for ensuring security have refined their tactics in the past they just planted bugs to find out what our presidents thought

so they keep doing that by the way recently about three weeks ago we found a hidden microphone in our embassy in london but the technology has gone way beyond bad now they know what people all over the world say and getting close to their targets to plant bugs isn't as important as they control communications on a global level and many transnational corporations unfortunately are their partners in crime which allows them to violate international laws and agreement and zero most. minister you just mentioned the recently discovered microphone in ecuador's embassy in london. it was determined that the microphone goulash to drive a reader survey this country. do you believe they were spying on you on washington's instruction they would embrace and how do you plan to fight what is an outrageous violation of your conscious or them. this situation certainly is outrageous we asked for the u.k.'s cooperation in this investigation to determine

who exactly was spying and to where this information was transmitted according to our preliminary investigation we suspect that these surveillance group company was receiving the data but we need the u.k.'s technical assistance to confirm this information also a criminal case should be started it's unacceptable to spy on a country's diplomatic mission staying in another country upon the latter's invitation we don't have such technical capacities as developed countries did but we are convinced that in this case the u.k. will show the correct tolerance unlike in the case of a sound and will help ecuador in its efforts to find those responsible for espionage in our embassy says it's hard to tell now when the bug was planted it's much easier technically to find out who was receiving the data which we will hopefully do with the u.k.'s help and commission. let's go back to the information leaked by edward snowden is a national media have reported the recent espionage case in the west in brazil what

does ecuador think about that but i ask you do you think the us would have to haunt this thing kind of espionage in ecuador as well but if so how would it impact your relations with washington your. sadly the more information we get the more we offer straighted other than brazil as benard has been reported in a number of countries including ecuador i just learned about that several minutes ago that there's evidence that the us has been spying on our countries that the entire world has been affected by us espionage whether it's alleged enemies or friends and neighbors of this country at a certain point someone mistakenly referred to latin america as the united states backyard so we'd like to ask the international community if they think the us has lost its so-called backyard and decided to. stablished elsewhere in latin america this kind of era is coming to an end and we will never be anyone's backyard the way

it was during the time because the military dictatorship this is now a proper sovereign developing region and its people are growing stronger our way is the way of ideology so it looks like other regions are now becoming the u.s.a.'s backyard. some countries have been subject to espionage and sovereignty violation but didn't demand a response from those who breached international conventions these instead they took severe measures as in dealing with president morales when his life was jeopardized so one should be careful saying where the backyard really is right now latin america including ecuador has a high level of sovereignty and independence. but no articles you know of them are so great cast so they look stoked about the recent plane grounding incident when the presidential jet of ever more dallas was forced on neutral moscow to believe. some european countries abruptly blocked their airspace to here and that made president call rare an emergency summit or a halfway the summit came out with

a statement that unanimously condemned an illegal action undertaken against president horowitz so have the nonaligned movement and the group of seventy seven which represent a large part of the international community they express their anger over the years they didn't and openly supported believe in letting america just what specific measures are going to be taken to review these european countries iranian sanctions possibly. when we talk about the latin american response to the incident please bear in mind the differences that we have with us you can say all the governments think alike yes there is certain common ground however when a tough response is required governments take diverging positions but it is true that the incident caused a strong response the oas secretary general has already given a clear and timely. comment in his praiseworthy statement what we should do is make those countries accountable for their behavior and make them apologize we must make

the situation clear it's not like mr morale is was told they wouldn't allow him to leave russia although that would have been a true debacle the incident took place during the flight when he had already had the permission to cross french airspace and that's when they told him mr president you cannot enter our aspace they endangered his life because he wanted the plane to go back and request permission to fly over some other country but they told him he couldn't do that either that's why the presidential jet had to make an emergency landing that was too much president correia made it clear that this incident cannot be ignored how'd that happen to a european or u.s. leader flying over a latin american country they could have started a war they would have immediately sent obama planes and troops to that country to save their president so we decided we should act accordingly what we wanted was to get these governments to apologize and assure us that they would never happen again

you can't go on discriminating against countries believing that international law is a pleasurable to some and it's not a clickable at others you can't divide countries into first class and second class that's unacceptable this is a violation of every international agreement and every human right just like this pervasive international espionage not only does wiretapping off phone calls and reading our letters go against their fix it but it also blatantly infringes article twelve of the universal declaration of human rights which in trying to the right to privacy the right to be protected against being spied on now the declaration certainly has different wording but i give you the general idea it's high time we started to respect all the countries in the world instead of putting some of them above the others and set up with them and you mention authority international law in the violations so let's move on to julian assange. that was really in the ecuadorian embassy in london ever since you gave him asylum how ever has he been able to travel to ecuador since the british government refuses to recognize this

island or grant him safe passage you have met both with the song and british government officials have you been able to work out a solution or do you see a solution. that we can see ecuador sovereignty and the rights of julian assange and what is there to expect in the coming months. we need to make a few things clear first ecuador never ceases to offer alternative ways out of the problem we've even put forward a legal cause there was little need for that but it would have been enough to say that mr assad asked us for asylum and after looking into the situation we decided to comply with his request but we decided to go further we took the moral high ground viz a viz the british government by the way when the olympic games started in london we decided to postpone our ultimate decision that so as not to upset political stability in the u.k. we exercised a lot of caution and respect towards the u.k. and it's regrettable that britain has given us no response so far. we listed every

legally sound reason that allows us to grant asylum as a sovereign country and with britain insisting on arresting a son john extraditing him to sweden under european law we had to draft a detailed document explaining how and why the u.k. has every right to grant a son safe passage or rather why it actually has to do that. as the british acknowledge this has to do with conflicting laws on the one hand there's an international agreement that allows ecuador to grant asylum to a song on the other hand there are european laws that allegedly bind the u.k. to extradite him to sweden but there's a certain hierarchy of laws in this hierarchy international humanitarian law is what matters most so it's more important to abide by international humanitarian law than to meticulously follow all the. in all proceedings to arrest and extradite assange. and there are of course human rights to be respected so we had to explain

this hierarchy in the document i handed over to british foreign secretary william hague on june the seventeenth if i remember the date correctly this document was supposed to convince him that he's obliged to grant safe passage to mr saunders under international law but we asked him so what is the u.k. waiting for would you like mr assange to grow old and die in our embassy or would you like to see him fall ill and receive no medical help that he's already been warned that once he leaves the embassy he'll be arrested straight away even if he's seriously ill is this what you're waiting for as it appears that i keep asking myself how do the british and the rest of the world see this situation is that it's actually rather grave that we can see here a breach of international law by the same people who in long sought to lecture us on rights and freedoms who demand legal security from a relatively less developed country it claiming they need it for investment but we want legal security in everything it's not only money that need to legal security

people do want to this is the truth we want to get across to the west that it's unfair to ask legal security only for money but what you first need to take care of is legal security for people and human rights and it's. used a happy end to experiment out considering that truly innocent as managed to get to any of these past year passed out being it's possible for edward snowden to arrive in one of the lead. that you know any kind of. i think it's possible let's not forget the numerous political events the toughest situations that the world faced take for example the last century in particular in latin america so many blood soaked dictatorships and many cases of political persecution as well the what many european countries did of these cases and what latin. american countries did this was to protect the persecuted peaceful place and no one asked them if they had a passport reveals or or

a guaranteed safe passage if those were obviously cases of political persecution so we took these people under our protection at least transported them to other countries i'm talking about all the countries in the world maybe not all but most of the countries that claim to be democratic and committed to protecting human rights we took these people under our protection of the book at the us for example many chileans argentinians in europe while as came to ecuador and asked for asylum said that if they left their home countries in any way they could to save their lives but most european companies also protected us somewhat that they didn't ask her security to show birth certificates or passports or visas you know these people were running from political persecution so i asked myself isn't it the same with mr snowden and then this incident with president moran his players that he said if anyone had any doubts about mr snowden being politically persecuted it's become crystal clear now. you know the same as in which he seemed thank you it was kind of

like the foreign minister for joining us live here on our but a companion also i in a study that asked the manatees which is about as i said follow but yeah and thank you very much for this opportunity to connect with so many people and want to settle and do it freely and legally as opposed to other ways some countries employ a. lot of thank you very much. which of us. what is the future of democracy in the arab middle east in the wake of the coup d'etat in egypt has this region condemned to a vicious cycle of uprisings and brutal suppression what about the claim islam and democracy are incompatible and does the west really have an interest in seeing the people of the middle east free to decide their own destinies.
