fugitive cia whistleblower edward snowden says he wants asylum in russia and is ready to stop harming the u.s. lost small scovel providing him a propaganda platform. hunger strike on poor has gone time a jail officials claim in days have started eating again but prisoners know it's a it's not the end of the protest over the indefinite detention that has lasted almost half a year. and street battles in belfast and dozens injured as protests protestant hardliners clashed with police trying to blog their march from entering the consulate district.

international news live from moscow this is nazi with me you know a ship of allah thanks for joining us and as a leader edward snowden has renewed his request for asylum in russia as he moves to put an end to his life in limbo at a moscow airport he spent nearly three weeks termed it in the transit zone of sheremetyevo and spend and sound i should say nearly two dozen asylum requests around the world paul scott is following the whistle blower's attempts to escape u.s. prosecution. r.t. you confirm that russia's federal 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

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 application and the suggestion also is that his application when it arrives will be looked upon favorably snowden knows that conditions are acceptable he can get it i think he really. said is far is the requirements for a political refugee human rights activists of lawyers who are there. to worry 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 straight lace this gesture in 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 and they 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 we're 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 meeting with human rights activists at moscow's sheremetyevo airport spunked washington the u.s. criticized russia for allowing it to take place and again demanded hey be handed

over again that you took hostage eight. 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 shorter 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 and well it well that they facilitated this event of course why because this gave a forum going to be should have before as he flees 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 charges forfeited their right to speak to free speech it's very interesting how

washington now uses the word pop again there. 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 us 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. the blower 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 do 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 snowden pledge to stop leaking u.s. secrets but guardian journalist glenn greenwald who's been breaking the news about

n.s.a. snooping said it has no plans to stop publishing reports on a classified document is already received and stephen cohen professor russian and slavic studies at new york university says the whole situation was snowden's asylum is a tough test for russian and american. this is a classic case of the testing of leadership both in moscow and washington neither leader rather obama nor prudent can be happy about mr snowden sitting in the moscow airport who didn't invite him to russia but he can't toss him out for various political 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 if it was a fair trial or a legal trial all snowden would have the right to subpoena american officials who have knowledge of all this intelligence is exposed that would not be so i think there is a vested interest both with obama and putin to find

a way to solve this problem so that neither is damaged politically so will know what kind of leaders they are for south american nations belonging to the americas certain trade recalling bound box of its from european countries involved in the grounding of the bill even president playing the euro one foreign minister says talks will be how old would be representatives the member states also have tough words for washington defending their right to offer asylum to edward snowden and human rights activists believe the pressure being put on last american governments is violating international. what the united states government is doing is taking jobs dropped edward snowden's bid 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 give air space 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 those 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 britain's spy agency g c h q have been snooping in spying upon millions of innocent private citizens that is not spying charge he is a whistleblower and he deserves asylum. of course we're closely following the snowden sangatte online as well head to r.t.

dot com for an extensive timeline on the leaks asylum begins and international reaction r.t. dot com with a place to go. the majority of hunger striking prisoners at guantanamo bay have had their first meal in nearly half again according to u.s. officials but inmates lawyers don't believe the food protest is finished and the military won't remove anyone from the hunger strike list until they eat consistently for several days. ninety nine of those one hundred and two men on strike have eaten a meal within the past twenty four hours according to the dept the 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 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 the u.s. military officials say forty five of the prisoners are still on the forced 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 of 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 the force feeding that's been ongoing at guantanamo bay now get moved fishel say out of respect for the prisoners religious beliefs the forced feedings will only be 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. banga strike as operas have to say against the indefinite detention without charge on the treatment they've been receiving a us public defender comus warner represents eleven of those prisoners and hey expects the hunger strike to continue until those inmates cared for race on 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 you'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 the men and is duly positive steps to end the hunger strike again all of us hope that it does and i hope that my clients are eating i don't want them to starve i don't think any lawyer does but at the same time we are waiting for president obama to do what he said he would do and that is to transfer the innocent men eighty six innocent men. c.f.l. coming up here this hour on a fresh wave of sectarian violence hits the streets of northern ireland punches break out how they are no prob riteish parade in belfast despite have a peace process. and to pull out of destruction there are negations that israel has carried out and not as strike on syria in terror trade this time time to say ok port go past but i'm not

claims turn out to be true and that would mark the forces raid and strike and see where in the past in the past six months and road old coal mines written extensively on the syrian conflict and says israel is trying to help this see when rebels are losing their war against the government. i think that the reason they carry those dark is because the rebels are using every foreign terrorist card mercenaries they're losing in the event of war. into israel i think giving them a helping hand and. the last attack remember in may was against a military training center in damascus i was very very wrong because the syrians have had to train the soldiers since the start of this war in order to be able to deal with the no intervention warfare techniques being used against them so again that really military inside ukraine centers as far as your strategy so i think they're what they're essentially trying to do the rebels are hoping that and

because of this stage they lost the war and this is talk of you know keeping the getting the war going and also provoking. and with the syrian conflict continuing on the ground there's growing dissent among the ranks of the opposition who are fighting to oust president assad and see me a free syrian army commander was ambushed and killed by al qaeda linked fighters and an f.s.a. official promised to retaliate after islamists threatens to kill all opposition command is the syrian functional the rebels are struggling to walk out his differences with foreign radical feiss who say this war as part of the global jihad and western are nations how great to step up support for the opposition but there is a real concern weapons could fall into the hands of extremists chris syrian army spokesman says the struggle has been hijacked. there's no guarantee that these weapons.

one be war with and you know just at the most wrong in there's no guarantee that the police and army can contain these weapons 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 call it off and say listen guys we are willing to argue so long as we work out a contract that our guys said he dropped the are going to drop the arms and give them back to the rebels who then supply will give about two hours or just completely dropped them and then the syrians themselves are sort of their internal issues are to have a problem with the world right now sitting down and negotiating something with you know the so-called al-qaeda will jump at the mossad because jughead the looser are now a leading forefront in the spite against as said they are the ones that you would find that most of the front lines they're the ones who have put iraq into the heart of 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 a temporary contract with the rebels including. just how to live and work out something where they can oust as said sooner than later. well dot com now online team has a whole host of stories for you that i can honestly believe you scientists are excited about a new discovery beyond this solar system revealing the kind of alien planet which is sixty three light years away from us and probably rains molten glass check out the cosmic wonders on our website. and while you know that visit our emotion page where we still come the best videos for you on the latest events and today it's a brazilian workers protest which ended in flames as police dispersed rioters had to alter your home right now without and much more besides. in northern ireland more than
