saw in russia and around the wall this is it was me you know thanks for joining us . and as a leader edward snowden has renewed his request for asylum in russia as he looks to put an end to his life in limbo at a moscow airport he spent nearly three weeks trended in the transit zone of sheremetyevo and set nearly two dozen asylum requests around the world he's pulled scott is following the whistle blowers attempts to escape u.s. prosecution. russia's federal of migration committee has yet to receive a formal application for asylum from edward snowden this is despite yesterday's meeting a shadow matter airports with human rights activists and lawyers in which he requested assistance in getting to his final destination which is still believed to be latin america of course bolivia venezuela and nicaragua have all suggested they would
8:02 am
take him in but it is proving very very difficult for him to get there not only because of america's aggressive pursuit of him which led to the grounding of the bolivian president's plane over european airspace this week but also he doesn't have the valid travel documents to go to remember he's had his passport revoked that's why he's been stuck in transit that's why he's turned to russia for temporary refuge and the suggestion is that lawyers would be king to help him with that outlook ation and the suggestion also is that his application when it arrives will be looked upon favorably snowed in those conditions so people he can get it i think you really. satisfy is the requirements for a political refugee human rights activists of lawyers who are there. who are. already green he was prosecuted for political reasons rather than on legal grounds well russia has played this by the book from the very start and have played this
8:03 am
straight laced the suggestion being of course that edward snowden was not under russian jurisdiction because he never crossed the border and never entered russian territory and of course noted a nation did apply for asylum in russia around a fortnight ago but later withdrew his application after president vladimir putin said there were certain criteria that needed to be met and that criteria was that he stopped his actions that and i quote harming russia's u.s. partners now russia's stance hasn't shifted the two presidents barack obama and vladimir putin well let's we believe to have a phone conversation on friday the exact topics of what was discussed the unknown but it's believed that snowden was of course mentioned and i think both nations came for this not to escalate into a further diplomatic row and i think this is gesture is also that russia and this is becoming a headache that really they could have done without. snowden's reasoning with human rights activists at moscow's sheremetyevo airport sparks and in washington the u.s. criticized russia for allowing it to take place and again demanded he be handed
8:04 am
over our she's going there to she can have. the white house has basically accused russia of providing quote a propaganda platform for edward snowden this is washington's reaction to edward snowden meeting with russian human rights activists at the moscow airport take a listen i would simply say that providing a propaganda platform for mr snowden runs counter to the russian government's previous declarations of russia's neutrality and that they have and that they have no control over his presence in the airport it's also incompatible with russian assurances that they do not want. mr snowden to further damage u.s. interests we know that president obama and president putin discussed edward snowden over the phone we don't know how that conversation went but the obama administration's latest statements can give us an idea the state department has earlier reiterated washington's disappointment over snowden's meeting with human rights activists suggesting that somehow russian authorities could have been should
8:05 am
have barred edward snowden from speaking take a listen we are disappointed that russian officials and agencies facilitated this meeting today by allowing these activists and representatives into the moscow airports transit zone to meet with mr snowden despite the government's declarations of russian's neutrality with respect to mr snowden sorry you're disappointed that they let someone into their own airport i don't know that well that they facilitated this event of course why because this gave a forum going to be should have before there's a for you forfeited his right to freedom of speech as well met miss mr snowden as we've talked about let me just say this because i think it's important he's not a whistleblower he's not human rights activists he's wanted on a series of serious criminal charges brought in these certain eastern district of virginia in the united states i'm sorry but i didn't realize people wanted on
8:06 am
charges forfeited their right to speak to free speech it's very interesting how washington now uses the word propaganda. referring to edward snowden's speech basically suggesting that somehow russia should deny him free speech the journalist who challenged the state department spokesperson sort of showed how ridiculous that sounds coming from the u.s. it almost sounds like would you please silence that guy we don't like what he's saying one could just imagine what the u.s. reaction would be to a similar call from russia if it were let's say some russian whistleblower who stood up for civil liberties in russia and was asking for asylum in the u.s. not hard to guess what the reaction would be regardless of what russians think about snowden according to the most recent polls fifty five percent of americans view snowden as a whistleblower and only thirty four percent consider him a traitor so the majority of americans do not think what edward snowden is saying is propaganda. so snowden pledged to stop leaking u.s. secrets but god and journalist glenn greenwald who's been breaking the news about
8:07 am
n.s.a. snooping said he has no plans to stop publishing reports on the classified document he's already received and stephen cohen professor of russian and slavic studies at new york university says the whole situation with snowden's asylum as a tough test for russian and american pete is this is a classic case of the testing of leadership both in moscow and washington neither leader rather obama nor proof can be happy about sitting in the moscow airport who didn't invite him sure but. for various reasons obama needs to show he's tough on snowden. i can't believe that the united states actually wants to put snowden on trial because it was a virtual legal to have the right to subpoena american officials who have knowledge of all this intelligence is exposed there would not be so i think there is
8:08 am
a vested interest both with obama and putin to find a way to solve this problem so that neither is damaged politically so when there are still what kind of leaders they are. four south american nations belonging to the america syria trading block are recording down boss it is from european countries involved in the grounding of the believe in president's plane the euro one foreign minister says talks will be held within the with the representatives of the member states also have tough words for washington defending their right to offer asylum to edward snowden and human rights activist pisa touch will believe the pressure being put on latin american governments is violating international. what the united states government is doing is seeking to obstruct snowden to seek asylum not to get asylum but to seek asylum bullied and managed to threaten other countries around the world to not grant him asylum and to not do.
8:09 am
so that a flight can take him to another country that is a direct attack upon the united nations refugee convention and it is shocking and appalling as opposed to a democratic government united states with the collusion of european governments including the government here in britain has been conspiring together to not allow mr snowden to make a valid asylum application there is no way that he is a spy he has not contacted any foreign spy agencies he's not divulge any information to foreign governments here simply expose the fact that united states national security agency and britain's spy agency g c h q have been snooping inspiring upon millions of innocent private citizens that is not spying charge he is a whistleblower and he deserves asylum. and of course we're closely following the snowden

signer online as well head to r.t. dot com for an extensive timeline on the leaks asylum and international reaction. been when charlie of hunger strike in prisoners in guantanamo bay have had their first meal in nearly half a gallon according to u.s. officials but inmates you know it's don't believe the food pressure has just finished and the military won't remove anyone from the hunger strike list until they eat consistently for several days she is going up right now from. ninety nine of the one hundred and two men on strike have eaten a meal within the past twenty four hours according to the deputy director of public affairs at good mo samuel house he says that most of the prisoners took part in a meal of lamb to break the first day of fast during the muslim holy period of ramadan which lasts through the month during ramadan observance abstain from food
8:11 am
or drink from sunrise to sunset the prisoners who have eaten are still considered hunger strikers because the u.s. military requires several days of sustained eating and minimum caloric intake before a prisoner is removed from the list of hunger strikers now u.s. military officials say forty five of the prisoners are still on the force forced feeding list meaning they can be strapped down and fed a liquid nutrient mix through a nasal gastric tube on monday a u.s. federal judge called the procedure a quote painful humiliating and degrading process that comment was made in a ruling in which she said she had no with already to order a stop of of the force feeding that's been ongoing at guantanamo bay fishel say out of respect for the prisoners religious beliefs the forced feedings will only be
8:12 am
carried out at night during ramadan now so far what's not clear is if they get mowed detainee's in time to completely abandon their hunger strike or if the evening is a temporary reprieve during the holy month of ramadan now some lawyers for the prisoners remain very skeptical of the lead us reports coming from u.s. officials because they say the u.s. military has tried to downplay the hunger strike from the very beginning the very beginning which is dated back more than five months ago now the protest at guantanamo has continued to raise awareness in the u.s. and throughout the world and it has forced u.s. president barack obama to renew his efforts to close the island prison were one hundred sixty six men are still languishing. we had a strike protesting against indefinite detention without charge and the treatment they've been receiving us public defender called us warner represents eleven about its present as and he expects the hunger strike to continue until both the mates
8:13 am
get it from unease that. the president has the power to released eighty six men right now and we've heard noises that he intends to do so but we've seen no action since that speech and i believe they're still going to have a number of hunger strikers until we see people transferred that's just the bottom line hopefully the military has started to engage them and is doing positive steps to end the hunger strike again all of us hope that it does and i hope that my clients are eating and i don't want them to starve i don't think any lawyer does but at the same time we're waiting for president obama to do what he said he would do and that is to transfer the innocent men eighty six innocent man. so coming up for you this sounds a fresh wave of sectarian violence have the streets of northern ireland clashes break out of the annual pro british parade in belfast despite having a police presence. on the fourth of destruction

8:16 am
that because they don't have that kind of firepower available the israeli government hasn't confirmed or commented on the show either but even these u.s. claims turn out to be true that would mark the fourth israeli ass try can syria in the past six months. c'mon is an investigative journalist and also has written extensively about the syrian conflict let's not get easy on the situation right now mr maad hello and welcome to all see so what kind of response are you expecting from syria in light of these latest allegations well after the last attack in may decide said that he would respond strategically. and i think what he means by that is that with hezbollah now in the picture in syria. the golan heights will be calm. and i think he has said as well there will be both an uprising against the city and the israeli occupation of the golan heights. i suspect.
8:17 am
you're probably responded. where here. there's nothing really that they can do right now israel is provoking or war on syria israel has been at war with syria from the very very start to cross the border and so. this is part of. a long long. strategy against syria so i think that. the syrians are going to. i'm not going to give in to these kind of provocations because that carries and students who can yes and why would he was officials revealed this type of information about the operations of its key ally think the new idea i mean at this stage things are getting very very tense you must understand as well that side is winning this war
8:18 am
since the battle of qusayr because it was said to me stalingrad. of this war of terror i think a turning point and they're getting desperate i think we could be look we're probably just delivering this information here. after all the very targeted russian made missile so this is a direct. challenge to russia so why the u.s. would admit such a thing isn't clear there are voices of course within the u.s. administration who are very much against. an escalation of the war general dempsey and others so it could be coming from those sources. think it's too difficult it's too early to say. israel's previous has said it has been get some weapons from syria that's a red line for the. east bank why they could have carried out this latest attack. well. i think that the reason they carried it back is because the rebels are losing
8:19 am
i mean the foreign terrorists the foreign mercenaries they're losing the debacle into israel i think giving them a helping hand. the last attack remember in may was against a military training center in damascus i was very frightened because the syrians have had to retrain soldiers since the start of this war in order to be able to deal with the non conventional warfare techniques being used against them so again targeting military and scientific training centers is part of this really strategy so i think they're what they're essentially trying to do is give the rebels a helping hand because at this stage they lost the war and this is talk of all of you know keeping the keeping the war going and also provoking. the. investigative journalists and also. thank you very much indeed for your time.
8:20 am
and with the syrian conflict continuing on the ground there is growing dissent among the ranks of the opposition who are fighting to oust president assad a senior free syrian army commander was ambushed and killed by al qaeda linked fighters an f.s.a. official promised to retire after is going to threaten to kill all rebel army commanders they predominantly syrian forces are struggling to work out their differences with for an radicalized fighters who see this war as part of global jihad western and arab nations have agreed to step up support for the opposition but there is a real concern for weapons could fall into the hands of extremists and free syrian army spokesman saccade nala says the struggle has been hijacked. there's no guarantee that these weapons. won't be bored with you know the job at the most strongly in there's no guarantee that the police and army can contain these weapons
8:21 am
i think initially. you know and if america wants to see these weapons they should sit down with. the judge had almost sort of you know caught off and say listen guys we are willing to argue so long as we work out a contract that our guys ask you drop the arms you drop the arms and give them back to the rebels who then supplied or give about two hours or just completely drop them and the syrians themselves of sort of their internal issues are to have a problem with the world right now sitting down and negotiate something with you know the so-called al qaida would jump at a little because just had the most right now are a leading forefront in these sports against. they are the ones that you would find that most of the problem are and they're the ones who have to rock into the heart of the forces so i think if you want this revolution to come to an end and a successful one i think that the world should sit down work at
8:22 am
a temporary contract with the rebels including the job. and work out something where they can oust as said sooner than later. why live at all to dot com now online teen has a whole host of stories for you honestly believe for instance scientists are excited about a new discovery beyond this solar system or breeding big kahlo the avian planet which is sixty three line tears away from us and probably rains a melting glass check out the cosmos wonders on our website. while you as well visit our emotion page what was still the best media is for you on the latest events and today it's a brazilian workers protest which was swallowed in and swallowed in flame as police violently despite its rises had to call right now for that and much more the sign. in northern ireland over thirty police officers and an m.p.
