with international news and comment twenty four hours a day and first we have breaking news this hour president putin says cia whistleblower edward snowden will leave russia as soon as he is able to putin has said that snowden situation is not clear yet because russia had only ever been a transit point for him the russian leader says the whistleblower search for refuge has been blocked because the u.s. is spooked other countries he also said he's being kept aware of snowden's u. turn to apply for asylum in russia well we'll have live analysis on the story in just a few minutes from now. for the first time since the outbreak of the syrian conflict sources have told r.t. that israel used a turkish military base to launch a recent attack against syria a middle east correspondent has the details. r.t. sources tell us that israel used turkish military bases to launch attacks inside syria the latest attack was carried out in early july when there was

a pre-dawn strike on the syrian city of latakia that allegedly targeted russian made anti ship missiles u.s. officials speaking on condition of anonymity say that this attack on the weapons of the pope was in all likelihood and israeli airstrike it happened not far from a russian base and there is suspicion from many quarters that israeli fighter jets were responsible a number of syrian troops were killed and wounded in those explosions no one has officially come forward and came to sponsibility for the attack r.t. requested a reaction from the israeli government about the government declined to comment what is important is that the attack from the reports we have from our sources here in r.t. originated on the turkish side of the border our sources telling us that israeli planes lift a military base inside to a key and approach the taqiyya from the sea to make sure that they stayed out of

syrian airspace so that they could not become a legitimate target for the syrian air force this if true is yet another brazen israeli attack on a foreign country without any declaration of war as well in turkey have not been the best of friends in recent years we had the flip to the incident back in two thousand and ten in which nine people were killed that was condemned internationally and although there were conflicting reports as to exactly what happened israel never stepped forward with an apology and till march at the time to give a court its ambassador it suspended ties with israel and what we see now is a sudden change of heart in turkey towards israel they can now be legitimate questions asked about these sincere motivation for the apology that israel gave over their fertility. incident questions need to be asked how and why an islamic country like turkey is allowing its arch enemy is rope to use turkish bases to bomb

a nother muslim nation and no doubt there is going to be massive fallout for turkey because of this corporation with israel will turkey has firmly denied israel used its military bases to launch a raid against syria has the official reaction now from istanbul. a letter from the foreign ministry in turkey saying that the turkish foreign minister has addressed these allegations in the turkish media today and we know that he has said that he flatly denies any cooperation with the israeli military on any attacks in latakia alleged israeli attacks in the attack here now we've also received a letter from the turkish embassy in moscow echoing the words of the foreign minister saying that the reports of the turkish corporation with israel are surely groundless and nothing to do with reality they also underlined the fact that turkey will not be a partner to any military operation with israel turkish prime minister has been

a vocal supporter of the syrian rebels he's called for bashar assad to step down publicly behind the scenes it's been widely reported that he is a major coin jewett for rebel weaponry flowing into syria we know that there are rebels and syrian opposition figures that receive medical assistance that receive training and that fundraiser plan and from southern turkey that side of turkey that part is known as a so-called buffer zone somewhat of a safe haven for syrian opposition figures that have been a number of exchanges of artillery and mortar fire from the syrian turkish border there have been a number of explosions where. korea has pointed the finger at damascus for launching to so-called terrorist attacks on the border while damascus has blamed syrian opposition figures and islamic militants for causing this trouble over rule

turkish officials have made it clear that they want to avoid any direct military involvement in syria. relations between turkey and israel have been in the lows since the two thousand and ten commando raid on a turkish humanitarian aid flotilla which paula slew was talking about and that spot fury from ankara at the time the turkish prime minister accused israel of carrying out a massacre saying it won't be able to clean the blood of its hands the u.n. said israeli troops were in breach of international law in two thousand and twelve a former israeli commander went on trial in absentia and charges of inciting murder through cruelty and torture however in march this year all legal action came to an unexpected and abrupt halt after benjamin netanyahu and no one spoke on the phone with the israeli prime minister expressing his regret at the loss of turkish life let's get more on this from dr hussein budgies and international relations professor from the middle east technical university and joining us from ankara so

if israel did indeed team up with turkey to launch a strike on syria what's in it for ankara why would the turkish benefit. i think the turkish government has denied turkey's foreign minister just a couple of hours ago also denied the fact that israel has not been using the turkish territory however he certainly has been using the turkish territory in the ninety's in particular about not under the government of not in the last two years being for a particular after this. event. there for the turkish. acceptance of apology of israel a couple of months ago it was important to along a new beginning she's tried to relations turkey has accepted also the israeli part speech and the nato project

a couple of months ago while. contraries mostly making a deal that not african counties can all the parts in nato. operations and trainings and projects the turkish inside relations are not so far good turkey at the moment would provide the military bases for any two wars is filed by the israeli jet fighters or by the israeli bombers i think it is among the place. being however in the past the truth is she is riding nations have been very close and we remember in the ninety's that the israeli jet fighters have been going into the studio territory getting some pictures from pick for example and rolls a common operations so these are also you're saying that to a good relationship clearly are improving between the two and therefore that means

that it would be in turkey's interest to help israel over this syrian issue. i think the turkish position from the very beginning clear that. has to leave this is the government's position here. from the very beginning was interesting that the best artists should go there at the end of the conversations of the interest however this government under. if they were allowed. to use the turkish military bases than most probably they will face such an internal opposition by the government to go i don't think so that it is. possible that the mormon church of the lobbying the military bases to use for the americans yes turkey was providing the military bases for

america for libyan intervention in a way turkey was providing the military bases but definitely not for israel after of the apology of the israeli government from now dr same bug thank you very much indeed for your thoughts on this international relations professor from middle east technical university there in ankara thanks. well israel's attack on the attack here would be the fourth confirmed strike on syria within the last several months a military compound outside damascus was bombed from the air twice in january and may rockets struck a warehouse at the capital's international airport allegedly containing surface to surface missiles on all occasions the attacks were justified as operations to wipe out iranian missiles bound for hezbollah in lebanon middle east expert and it's torn telecare he says that israel has been looking to get even with the militant

group by choking the syrian government. it's rhodes motivation as always it's to show the arabs both inside israel an outside look this is how tough we are we can hit any town get in the middle east that we want to no one can do anything about it this is a country which is above the law considers itself about the law and it's united states musters and its european friends will do nothing to stop it i have very little doubt that the israelis informed the united states that we they were going to attack look back at his boat is like a red bull to the israelis and the israelis haven't been able to wipe it out though they've tried many a try they are now hoping that they can do it by completely weakening all destroying the syrian regime the syrian state could break up or be completely destroyed so they are not unaware all of what is happening in that country and in

directly i would say yes they are providing help to the rebels. just ahead here in auntie a transition in turmoil egypt's new government is shaping up but isn't the supporters of the country's president still elephant force after the break we examine the challenges facing the country as it tries to restore order. all across the world middle classes from the traditional rich to emerging economies feel the pain of the global financial crisis millions to man governments to be more accountable and have strategies to meet rising expectations the failure to do so has led to mass protests and political people is the world prepared for a globalized middle class.

i would rather ask questions for people in positions of power instead of speaking on their behalf and that's why you can find my show larry king now right here on r.t. question more. science technology innovation called the least developed from around russia we've got the future covered. many cities across the u.s. have been engulfed in protests sell for controversial court verdict thousands

express their anger at the acquittal of george zimmerman who shot dead on a black teenager trayvon martin made a point not has more. but justice for trayvon protests as they're being called drew tens of thousands of americans into the streets throughout the weekend in many cities like new york the crowd was much bigger than most anticipated thousands of new yorkers is estimated possibly up to ten thousand marched through manhattan sunday evening beginning in union square and converging in times square and then continuing uptown now at many points cars were blocked because the rally took over mean streets and avenues if you saw some tweets online some would say that this rally actually occupied times times square now police and demonstrators did eventually clash on the upper east side as cops deployed pepper spray and at least one bottle was thrown as the scene became very tense and reports more than a dozen protesters were arrested during the new york demonstrations against george

zimmerman's acquittal of the in the fatal shooting of seventeen year old trayvon martin however rallies and l.a. in oakland california turned more violent as a poster as protesters clashed with police in oakland the windows were smashed and police cars were damaged there were also reports of small fires burning throughout the city according to reports he's fired rubber bullets against some of the protesters and several demonstrators were transported to the hospital in l.a. officials say nine people were arrested during ongoing demonstrations the l.a.p.d. says some protesters hurled flashlights batteries rocks and chunks of concrete at police and the cops responded by shooting being bags at the protesters now demonstrations in washington d.c. denver atlanta philadelphia and boston also reportedly attracted very large crowds and the fatal shooting of trayvon martin occurred in florida last february but the

incident has come to symbolize a national debate on racial profiling and gun laws zimmerman a former neighborhood watch volunteer shot in the arm normed glock seventeen year. claiming it was in self-defense now critics believe that it was a racially motivated crime that has gone on from there since imerman has been found not guilty zimmerman supporters see his acquittal in line with protecting the rights to bear arms and the right to self-defense now made all these protests that are they're spreading nationwide the u.s. justice department is looking into the prosecution of george zimmerman on criminal civil rights grounds federal prosecutors would have to show that mr zimmerman attacked martin because of his race and that the attack was justified even if this federal prosecution doesn't come to bear similar men may still face a civil lawsuit from trayvon martin's family but clearly as we see from the pictures and the photographs that have been put on line and from what i witnessed

myself in new york city there is a lot of aggravation and anger surrounding the ruling in this case the keys to the fatal shooting of seventeen year old trayvon martin. and you can stay up to date on everything that's happening with demonstrations across the u.s. by going to all the web sites we bring you the latest pictures and videos and reaction at all to. the syrian state television has announce the all me has discovered a rebel operating chemical laboratory packed with toxic substances the military claims they were destined to be packed into mortars and used to attack government forces in damascus comes a week after the army found more than two hundred eighty barrels of president chemicals a rebel hideout in a different city syrian u.n. ambassador claimed it was potentially enough to devastate a whole city. of chemical weapons being used by both sides have been a crucial issue in the international dispute on the health of the conflict in syria

but the rebels and assad's forces are repeatedly made claims and counterclaims over the use of this journalist who's been closely following. the syrian conflict says the allegations of rebels using chemicals very familiar. that would be a surprise and of course we only have the students made by the syrian government but they go in so we other reports. in the city interaction you're in the. united states the united states made a similar allegations against some of the rebels then you are bugged limited use of chemical weapons this female abuse is made by the syrian government and by others again a few years rebels. and most of them are. the people who use the boat in iraq are now fighting in syria is. the life here in

moscow back to our breaking news story this hour president putin says cia whistleblower edward snowden will depart from russia as soon as he has the opportunity for more details we have been a question over here she's been closely following the story but the you know so what does putin's statement now tell us about snowden's immediate future writes well russian president vladimir putin said that the former n.s.a. contractor average snowden will leave russia as soon as he gets such an opportunity however he said that the situation now remains unclear he also reminded the conditions on which russia is ready to ground mr snowden asylum now and these conditions are if he stops any activities aimed at harming a be united states now russian president also said that it's adverse no one came here with no invitation he came as a transit passenger as he was traveling to other countries.

we didn't invite edward snowden and russia wasn't his final destination anyway he was in transit but as soon as he began his journey his route was revealed in our us partners effectively blocked us for their flight they even made other countries afraid of taking him no one wants to so he ended up blocked on our territory. leave us that comes from mr snowden comes on the twelfth of july and that was his first public appearance since he has been stuck at the sheremetyevo international airport transit zone now he announced that he is now seeking a temporary asylum in russia as now he is no longer able to travel to south american countries and in particular he was asking for a safe passage to secure his travel to these countries so he says he hears that he

will submit his asylum request and he also hopes that it will be accepted however as of today russian migration officials are not commenting whether or not they have received any asylum coming from adverse knowledge and meanwhile so far three countries and south america which are of an as well i believe nicaragua said that they could offer asylum to the american whistleblower and he has been stuck and the transit zone for the last three weeks as he flew from hong kong to moscow all right but even we'll see what his next move is then thanks very much indeed for that update within the question of. well the edward snowden reportedly still has some extremely sensitive details documents which are likely to be making america just a little nervous they apparently relate to how the national security agency is structured and operates well that's what got in journalist glenn greenwald who's been breaking the news from the cia leak. he's in possession of literally

thousands of documents that contain very specific blueprints that would allow somebody who. to know exactly how the n.s.a. does what it does which would in turn allow them either to evade that surveillance or to replicate it and that's what i was talking about that he has basically the instruction manual for how the n.s.a. is built. if revealed those documents could do huge home to the u.s. but snowden is not planning to disclose them says greenwald however the revelations he's already made have been a major blow to american intelligence auntie's paul scott takes a closer look. well not only are civilians from all over the world being monitored but so are governments that are closely allied to the united states according to newspaper reports thirty eight separate missions and embassies have been surveilled the countries believed to have been spied on are in greenland starts in the asia pacific region south korean authorities to reinforce anti bugging measures after

their missions were allegedly spied upon japan also fell foul to u.s. surveillance now moving it to the middle east iran's nuclear facilities of course a long time cause of contention were apparently targeted by a computer virus created by the u.s. and israel in two thousand and nine it's claimed the n.s.a. got their hands on top secret communications between russian president dmitri medvedev and his delegation during the g. twenty in london if we move to europe french president francois hollande said negotiations over a huge pending trade deal between the u.s. and the shouldn't go ahead into washington halted any surveillance activity on a new allies moving to latin america where oil and military purchases were monitored in venezuela there were also telephone and e-mail intercepts in colombia a close military ally of washington while brazil has expressed its deep concern about revelations that its citizens were spied on in an industrial scale now these

are just some examples of the thirty eight countries missions and embassies the u.s. thought to have spied on a many of these nations remember a friendly to washington one such country is germany which was particularly stung by snowden's revelations europe's strongest economy is it seems being closely watched by the united states with around five hundred million data intercepts h. month these include mehta data on emails telephone calls s.m.s. text instant messages meanwhile in china of course the country that allowed snowden to slip through the net when he fled hong kong leaks revealed that of every chinese computer that is hacked thirty three percent of these attacks originate from in america. can i pay addressed and it's not just civilians being monitored hospitals and universities are also being targeted when you look at the scale and the scope of america's global surveillance program and the fact that allied governments have also been bugged in recent years it makes it increasingly difficult for washington to get continue using national security as

a justification for simply appears to be mass espionage. well hidden germany the words united stars of america appeared in the walls of the us embassy on sunday comparing washington spying tactics to east germany's infamous intelligence service and the stunt was carried out by this group anonymous just a week after a similar action by the online activist dot com i should say. egypt's military backed government is pressing on with its transition plan despite supporters of the else to president morsi continuing their protests the government features at least two western leaning officials in key posts and u.s. deputy secretary of state william burns has already met some of the new officials in current the former u.n. nuclear chief mohamed el baradei has now become a vice president covering foreign affairs and our country's foreign minister is next egyptian ambassador to the u.s.

army opponents of the muslim brotherhood have released a document on social media they say came from the group and it apparently shows the organization calling for more bloodshed and the disbanding of the egyptian middle east journalist barry lando says the islamists still need to be involved in the political process. the big question is well what power will they really have the civilians i mean it's really the. military are running. around the country. to do and to say that they are somehow going to lead the muslim brotherhood. to the political game. that's the big question morsi being much more all and then he was to the opposition not trying to get a monopoly on power as he did i mean morsi played a very stupid game and in effect shot himself down and. in he shot his own party down at the same time and he's he's as much response has anyone for creating the

mess that egypt is in right now if that the muslim brotherhood now is frozen out the future political system in egypt there's nothing but trouble ahead. that brings you up to date for the moment i'll be back with the news team in about a half an hour as the news continues don't forget you can check out all t. dot com for all of the stories and see some of those interviews again we did in the last hour or t don't call now coming away after the break is the world prepared for a globalized middle class you have to this question is in cross two with peter viles stay with us that is if you can.

all remember those old wacky communist countries who constantly boost their numbers to make themselves feel better or who cares if stores are empty and this piece of paper a one hundred thousand tons of potatoes that is good enough for me well now we are in a new age of technology but the same lying to make yourself feel good is still going strong it just moved over to the capital swirled the u.s. state department's bureau of international information programs has spent six hundred thirty thousand dollars on facebook advertising campaigns to get fans a sense of the government is out there to buy likes oh what a fantastic use of tax dollars but wait maybe i'm being too pessimistic perhaps it worked and really helped spread the message of the u.s. state department effectively when the specter general's report says that since the advertising campaign started twenty eleven there has been a dramatic increase in users liking state department sites but the problem is that only two percent of them actually use the sites so you get what you pay for a big bag of likes but if you hard core fans probably the most shocking example is a vision of america group in farsi made for

a rainy and which has gotten over four hundred twenty thousand members but only one percent of them is actually in iran where facebook advertising doesn't even exist that's effective getting lots of likes doesn't mean you are actually reached. people instead of paying for them why not you know get them naturally bar by providing interesting honest content on a regular basis oh wait that takes effort and honesty yeah you know what just keep wasting our tax dollars but that's just my opinion. oh and welcome to crossfire all things considered i'm peter lavelle rising in protesting middle classes all across the world middle classes from the.
