we didn't and by edward snowden and russia wasn't his final destination anyway absolves rusher of any blame over the snowden saga. as we left more room here in moscow all because of washington's actions. i'll break in america after the killer of a black teenager walks free with race attitudes heating up amid continuing protests nationwide. plus he's in denial over the highly sensitive t.v. report that israel used to turkish military base during a recent airstrike on neighboring syria.

worldwide news of live from moscow this is are to you with me rule research showing welcome to the program today the former n.s.a. and cia contractor edward snowden will leave moscow as soon as he can that's according to russia's president vladimir putin snowden has been holed up in the transit zone of sheremetyevo airport just outside the capital now for a while with it more than three weeks let's cross over to our g.'s andrew farmer for the latest on this andrew good to see you so the president seemingly frustrated with the ongoing asylum saga he usually it was clear from his tone in the still no end in sight really to this. and he also said that a large large part of the responsibility for that should be laid at america's door just three days ago edward snowden did say he was going to apply for political asylum from russia but he's still not made an official application of mr putin said he was still unclear about his situation but what was very clear in his words was the fact that russia should not be playing this note now enters his fourth week in

limbo in the transit zone of moscow's sheremetyevo airport he blamed america for this and this is what he said. we should. have put it. 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 so as you are snowden remains are locked in legal limbo as you were saying a moment ago but what about further leaks of classified data any more to come well if you go by what he said in his press conference on friday at sheremetyevo airport then we shouldn't because in principle he said that he had agreed to back track and except russia's precondition for asylum and that was he was not going to damage the u.s. further but we do know that he has plenty of information up his sleeve which could

do that and that was explained by the journalist who broke this story on the guardian newspaper 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. so we can hear from that response the u.s. should perhaps still be worried although they will be keeping their fingers crossed that he does keep his pledge in his pursuit of this asylum from russia it's also worth noting that of course russia does not have an extradition treaty with the u.s. so mr snowden will remain here while that is the case and also we should point out that when mr putin is asked what will happen next he said how should i know this is

his fate in other words the ball is in edward snowden's court and he's up to him to make the next move and make this official application for asylum or for the story of mr starting to the side just for a moment of the russian president embarking on yet another adventure of what can you tell us about that well that's right he made these comments about snowden just after resurfacing from being. in a submarine at the bottom of the baltic sea this is another dead devil adventure that he's embarked upon and he was actually looking at the remnants of the frigate called all leg which sank in eight hundred sixty nine after being hit by another vessel if you remember mr putin has already been at the bottom of late by cal he's already been scuba diving in the black sea this time he didn't find any treasure but he did come back to report that all leg was in good condition. in front of the kremlin thank you. just a few minutes away here with the grim reality of life of addiction

a report from pakistan a country where. people are injecting drugs openly in the streets feel they have. to live for. the mean time on the program here on our civil rights leaders in america vowing more protests over the acquittal of neighborhood watch god george zimmerman who shot dead an unarmed black teenager last year now issues of racial hatred once again at the forefront people have been left outraged across the country with police trying to calm the anger on the streets from new york with this report. we are. on this thanks for us. this morning rallies. even says there alley for. all of the george zimmerman. more than eight thousand people have. put such shame that was.

the u.s. justice department. prosecution against george zimmerman on civil rights charges. as we see the anger and the outrage is still boiling from coast to coast seems like now that that this verdict has been rendered it feels like it's open season like we all have a target on our back not just from the police so we don't just worry about the police now have to worry about some crazy races person killing us and claiming self-defense you know i think it's because here in new york even though it's such a diverse city we still see that kind of racism and discrimination on a day to day basis there's a heavy police presence right. spills out of union square park and are walking through. men who. below the park of course they are surrounded by police officers on the street let's pan over there to show

us a police officer is on on motorcycles and police officers on foot clearly the crowd is very aggravated an incredible injustice that only you can let everyone around us like a black man i thank you thank you i actually got a free the wait a day you know i think just trying to voice their opinion or just the black and white thing is not just because. it's it's it's the sickness here in america you know which you know it gets to decide who looks dangerous and who's not following three hours in the blazing heat demonstrators were still walking through new york city demanding justice and dozens of police officers by their side a sporting them reporting from new york marino. well george zimmerman may have walked free from the court but u.s. attorney general that of eric holder he's reaffirmed that the justice department is

now determining whether civil charges could be filed against him now however professor charles rose from stetson university in florida he believes the chances of prosecuting zimmerman are rather low if they're going to get him back in court again is going to be difficult to do because the civil rights law requires that he be a state actor and there's no indication that he was an employee of the state government during that time frame the other option would be to charge it has a crime under the shepards act the problem there is that we just don't have evidence that it was hate crime motivated if there had been that evidence it would have been presented in the state trial that just concluded the families have that ability to bring a wrongful death claim against mr zimmerman they could force him to testify but the problem will be that mr zimmerman probably doesn't have much in the way of assets so they would wind up spending a great deal of money for very little result the road to the ease with which you can not only purchase a weapon but then use that weapon to defend yourself in the state of florida in

approximately twenty other states is really what led to this tragedy. you can always i log on to our website for more details on the live updates of the protests now sweeping america over the death of trayvon martin. i took he has a slam dottie's report based on information from a reliable source claiming israel used a turkish military base to launch a recent past reichert syria i'm curious also condemn the media for even mentioning the report is the latest middle east correspondent paula slate. the turkish foreign minister is saying to quote him it is absolutely wrong and he's accuse those of spreading the story of an act of betrayal he said that turkey will never be a partner nor a part of such attacks and that the ones who claim this one to damage turkey's power and reputation he slammed the turkish media for even mentioning the report

now we approached the israeli defense forces for a second time asking them to comment their reply was that the response has not changed since the earlier on so and that is that they refused to comment on the issue we never got a reply from the prime minister's office there we just received an e-mail response to our request saying that they will not be participating in our broadcast we also never got a reply from the foreign affairs ministry a reminder of what we actually know at this stage a reliable source told r.t. that israel use a turkish military base to help stage the recent air strike on the syrian city of latakia now what we know is that it was a pre-dawn attack it happened in early july latakia is a key syrian ports not far from a russian base they were several syrian troops who were reportedly killed and wounded in that attack the r.t. sources tell us that israeli planes left that military base in turkey and approach

latakia from the sea and this was to make sure that they were not inside syrian airspace and so that they could not become a legitimate target of the syrian air force what is important is that the attack originated on the turkish side of the border and revelations that turkey may in fact be copulating with israel against an arab country would indeed be for lack of a better word highly inconvenient for turkey itself and for its nato allies including the united states you need to remember that turkey positions itself as a key power player and a regional why. so now if all of this is proven true as cooperation with israel would land right in the middle of a crossfire between its people and its arab neighbors the cost of damage control could prove too high for the turkish government is on his police reports. the news that tactic could be collaborating with the israeli government to let's talk an

arab neighbor could badly damaged the government of prime minister read out of one there will be a message for it just because there are protests going on here in turkey against the government and does is certainly except to be for the turkish people so this roots message. first as i think turkish people learned. it in the let's say look from roche people rights. country road to independence and this this means that. you have become puppets of a friend. of some states and. therefore you didn't desist even enough to be embarrassed about it but that's hawkish foreign minister has been quick to dismiss the reports saying that they have no basis in reality critics disagree and say the government may need to get ready for some damage control turkey's words

a still rule from two thousand and ten when an aid flotilla heading for gaza was stormed by israeli commandos they boarded a humanitarian aid ship and killed mind turkish civilians and with the past week smogs by anti-government protests here in istanbul these latest alleged revelations about cooperation between israel and turkey could present even more problems for the suchness government party boy oxy assam. a long running history of cooperation with israel and both countries are united in their opposition towards start of the syrian government that's according to middle east affairs analyst the human to. we have an underlying strategic alliance that continues still exercises its effect and fox turkey was the first islamic state to recognize israel in one thousand and forty nine and nineteen ninety six there was a free trade agreement and throughout the last few decades there was very heavy

involvement in terms of military security and political call put race on the fact that this with most somewhat of. the last two three years should not overshadow the fact that corporation continues between the two countries over the last few months in all four of both there's the eighty's and the turks have been supporting the free syrian army against the syrian regime so as far as that goes we can see what this is coming from. and a more disturbing of surveillance revelations to come in the program here when i see for example the u.k. police using counter-terrorism laws to complicate mobile phones from travelers if they're trying to cross the border those details just ahead for you to stick around for those once. greece braces itself for a third standstill this year we talked to a member of one of the general strikes organizing labor unions right off to the

short break. do we speak your language as i think about the will or not of the. news programs and documentaries and spanish what matters to you breaking news

a little turn to angle this story. so you hear. the spanish find out more visit actuality. from the world update here on our. decades of war in afghanistan has brought many consequences including the onset of the world's biggest heroin industry and with the amount of land on the opium cultivation always on the rise it's also affecting neighboring pakistan where it's now sometimes easier to get high and get fed and you may find some of the images and lisa catherine ellis reporter stopping. an ambulance rushes to caracas largest more than other body is brought in to be identified there's no shortage of ways to die in the city target killings bomb

blasts and drugs abdullah was hoping not to find his father here has been searching karachi for more than two weeks as a last resort he checked this morgue but amid the portraits of the dead a grim discovery and a familiar face of those father was addicted to heroin for almost a decade now he's another one of the drugs casualties. but i don't know where they are going to be hard to break the news to my mother but this is what happened and we have to face it there will be tears at home tonight. tears that abdullah believes could have been prevented he says his father tried to quit several times but in pakistan there are few treatment centers and plenty of temptation by just families but i guess don has been flooded with heroin it's easy to get that it's even sold out in the open the police do nothing because they're also involved and just a few blocks away a dark underworld in broad daylight these heroin addicts don't even bother hiding

their habit it's thought that pakistan has more than four million drug addicts but fewer than eighty dedicated we have clinics. health care these young people may be in short supply there's no shortage of parallel to the problem they may be a problem solving problems but they share one thing in common what you assert that loving our mom can heroin that deadly in. afghanistan is the world's largest producer of opium heroine's main ingredient and it accounts for ninety percent of the global supply roughly forty percent of it is smuggled through pakistan it's a multi-billion dollar industry fueled by years of war and instability opium production is up for the third year in a row and is predicted to grow even further and once nato leaves in two thousand and fourteen there are fears that the floodgates will open for the spread of the deadly harvest you are going to get rid of this wall of their school i suppose but you would be inviting end of the war between to be very difficult. to win.

and directly to the wall of drugs pakistani security experts want nato forces to take heed they have gone drug trade is the elephant in the room the biggest challenge was fox on his face to face that in all of. twenty fourteen post for troll strategy drugs has been left out by the united states nato and other european partners as an issue which is not to be considered. the port of karachi a key drug smuggling exit point the city is flooded with cheap heroin which addicts here say is easy. to buy them a healthy meal and near a busy highway this hole in the wall serves as a makeshift heroin take out window money goes in and drugs are pushed out into eager waiting hands. i tell myself that i'll stop using this drug for the sake of my children that's what i'm thinking about but i can't help myself because my body needs it and the heavy winds easy to get to easy it seems pakistanis get through an

through by police and amazingly enough it's all totally legal. now this is one of the most visited countries in the world and right behind me one of the busiest airports but one many travelers may not know one till they actually get to where you can airport or any other port of entry is the fact the police can actually use anti a counterterrorism laws to take more vile phones from anybody they want to and go through the private data download and store them now this kind of information would include a call history contacts photos who the person may have been communicating with through texts or e-mails although not the actual content of the messages now there doesn't even have to be any reasonable suspicion for a police officer to take a mobile phone and keep the information for court in court as long as necessary at the u.k. telegraph reports that up to sixty thousand people a year are stopped and examined as they enter or return to the u.k.

we did get in touch with the scotland yard and they sent us this statement and they said that under the terrorism act of two thousand a person may be detained and questioned for up to nine hours to determine if that individual is a person concerned of the commission preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism they also refuted that the use of such powers are proportional and appropriate and that they are if they have oversight by independent reviewers of case anti terror laws whoever reviews that are being conducted have highlighted the broader nature of such powers and there have been calls for more safeguards to prevent any abuse of power now we spoke with the freedom association to discuss more on the issue in a democracy the starting line really should be that a private individual has a right to privacy is that right is being sued by the state that must be because there's a good reason to do it say is it true for sure is it's in public interest. is

it is it being done through. the entry oversight these questions have to be asked and that's why that is the. that really to look out for so just to say we're going to glean information from anybody and hold it for is not is the least the necessary really isn't acceptable. to the world update now from cairo where the police fired tear gas and bird shot at crowds of supporters of the ousted president morsy a dozens hurt in the clashes that are said to have broken out after pro mohamed morsi demonstrators brought traffic to a standstill blocking a key downtown bridge a protests demanding a return to power for the former elected president intensified across the country on monday. north korea registered vessel sailing from cuba has been seized in the panama canal amid claims it was carrying sophisticated missile equipment panama's president ricardo martinelli posted on his twitter account a photo of

financial package with around six point one billion euros throughout the week there have been various protests rallies taking place in athens with all types of civil workers taking to the streets from teachers to municipal police but now we're talking about a general strike and for more on this i'm joined by. police from the civil service configuration one of the organizations which organized this strike. thank you very much for joining me how big of a strike should we expect today where you live today to journalists right that means that both private sector and public sector but dissipated in this reaction against all the new measures since we're talking now about a new another new package during the three years this is not the first strike to take ways and far from the first demonstration either but so far in general

nothing's changed much so do you think there may be may be other ways to improve the situation and what's the tactic of the labor unions going to have to say first of all that real reforms three years now on the street trying to explain to the. government to do it to do that so that it does not then affect the policy we have facing all these nice misses but at the same time we can see the economy. more poverty more and more and rising up for unemployment. and at the same time when the people and the society needs more welfare state we're losing it's day by day we have to change this policy and the government it's time to say stop with all these measures and we hope that. that they would not vote today in the parliament about a new package which leads to more austerity cincinnatus thank you very much for your time this was. from the civil servants confederation of greece one of the two

main union organizing this general strike today in the us and prime interest is next. or 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 and such are the government is out there to buy likes oh what a fantastic use tax dollars but wait maybe i'm being too pessimistic perhaps it

worked and really helped spread the message of the us state department effectively well inspector 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 few hard core fans probably the most shocking example is a vision of america group in farsi made for a rainy us 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 affected getting lots of likes doesn't mean you are actually reaching people instead of paying for them why not you know get the next bar by providing interesting honest content on a regular basis oh wait that takes effort and honesty yeah you know what just keep wasting the tax dollars but that's just my opinion.

when you take three. four three. three. three. three. three vote video for your media project c.e.o. don carty dot com. good afternoon and welcome the prime interest i'm hereon boring and i'm bob english here's the headline that we're tracking today. more next signal a key in new york manufacturing a poor beat expectations but the latest retail sales report this morning and disappointed the headline number increase in the euro point four percent expectations were for double that and when you dig into the nuts and bolts of the report it gets worse excluding the auto and gasoline components.
