moscow i might try as a good to have you with us here on r t our top story fugitive n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden seeking refuge in russia breaking almost three weeks of silence as he remains stuck at moscow's sheremetyevo airport transit zone bleecker says he's willing to stand moscow and tell he can secure a safe passage to latin america where he's been granted asylum by several countries are paul scott is following snowden'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 meeting 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 you've got 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. satisfies the requirements for a political refugee human rights activists of lawyers who are there. who are. worried 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 laced this gesture in being of course that edward snowden was not under russian jurisdiction because he never crossed the border and never ended 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 and i quote harming russia's u.s. partners now russia's stance hasn't shifted the two presidents barack obama and vladimir putin will lead 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 sheremetyevo airport sparked anger in washington the u.s. criticizing russia for allowing it to happen and again demanding he be handed over or he's guy has more. 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 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 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 challenge 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 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 says he's willing to stop leaking u.s. secrets in order to gain asylum in russia but guardian journalist glenn greenwald who's been covering news about the n.s.a. snooping stoughton holds dangerous information which would even be america's worst nightmare that's a quote if revealed stephen cohen a professor of russian and slavic studies at n.y.u.

says the whole situation with snowden's asylum is a tough test for russian and u.s. leaders. this is a classic case of the testing of leadership both in moscow and washington neither leader neither obama nor putin can be happy about help mr snowden sitting in the moscow airport and 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 these explosives would not be so i think there's a vested interest both with obama and putin defined a way to solve this problem so that neither is damaged politically so will not see what kind of leaders they are for south american countries belonging to the

mercosur trading block or recalling their ambassadors from european states involved in the grounding of the bolivian president's jet year ryan foreign minister says talks will be held with the represent it is the member states also a tough words for washington defending their right to offer asylum to edward snowden human rights activist peter tatchell thinks the pressure being put on latin american states violates international law. what the united states government is doing is seeking to obstruct snowden's bid to seek asylum not to get asylum but to seek asylum it is bullied and menaced and threatened other countries around the world to not grant him asylum and to not give airspace 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 there's supposedly democratic government the 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 he has simply exposed the fact that the united states national security agency and 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. closely following the snowden saga online as well as our american r.t. dot com for an extensive timeline of leaks asylum bids and international reaction. taking a look at some of today's other top stories most hunger striking prisoners at guantanamo

bay have had their first meal in more than five months according to u.s. officials but lawyers for the detainees don't believe the protest is over their military won't remove anyone from the hunger strike the list until they've consistently been for several days artie's marina port i has more from new york. ninety nine of those 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 get 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 now during ramadan observance abstain from food or drink from sunrise to sunset the prisoners who have eaten are still considered hunger strikers because the us 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 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 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.

steps to end the hunger strike again all of us hope that it doesn't 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 still to come here on our team a wave of the infighting in the free syrian army seeking more on from the west after radicals within the opposition kill an f.s.a. commander this amid allegations israel carried out another airstrike on syrian territory this time targeting a key port plus. loyalist rioters in belfast clashed with police for the second night as the annual pro british parade there turns violent this and more after a short break. wealthy british style.

u.s. officials have been staunchly denying all that a geisha that washington had a hand installing projects in india but experts say this has been a tactic employed by the state department for more than a quarter of a century so the state department or any agency development spends hundreds of millions of dollars each year to fund a series of n.g.o.s which are not the governmental organizations the organizations that supposedly promote democracy that's their official line is n.g.o.s really are the tip of the iceberg. this is a portion of a larger agenda of the united states and of the western powers transnational elites he is going to follow the same we've seen. around the world with this n.g.o.s ation with the indian leadership is clearly concerned about these prospects the last known date on the financing of indian n.g.o.s was published in twenty eleven back then the government established that twenty two thousand organizations had received

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 plus you've got to get that still guy at 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 his plane searched 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. i am max kaiser this is the kaiser report you know the free markets punish dumb investment decisions and the stupid investors who made them that's the textbook theory it's called market justice and rigged markets don't investment decisions and stupid investors are rewarded and coddled with money printing and belts that's the
