developments around russia we. were making news on aussie whistleblower edward snowden has left the transit zone a major airport after being issued the paperwork that allows him entry into russia . hello and welcome to the. house laughter transit zone at moscow's sheremetyevo airport after five weeks in limbo this information has been confirmed by the north assisting him and i totally says that paperwork issued today allow snowden to live work and remain in russia for up to twelve months let's not get the latest from

this kind of joining me now like you were nice to see you so very snowden. well what we know at this point is that edward snowden was left the transit zone airport where he spent over a month and he's in a safe undisclosed location his lawyer earlier appeared actually to me it's about airport and met with journalists saying that the whistleblower had received the necessary papers allowing him to stay in russia for one year while his asylum bid is processed he also confirmed that he'd left the transit zone and that he's in the safe location. due to the fact that he's the most wanted person on planet earth today he'll be concerned about the issues of security that includes questions of safety and the place where he's going to live that's all up to him. as usual we will consult and advise him but on other issues it's up to him

. as for meeting the press yes he's ready to meet the russian media but you need to understand that he still needs some time to adapt to russian reality and you switch to sixteen no i know and so we just had fun i had. actually the model of do we know about the man who's been. well mr katrina became quite an important figure in the story throughout the last month or so he has become. snowden's lawyer basically he can be became his connection with russian authorities and the outside world in general as the whistleblower was stuck in the transit zone off limits of our air force it was through the end of that so the legal papers were passed from snowden to the authorities and back he also brought him fresh clothes and some russian literature including. including crime and punishment as we know mr snowden. like that

the most out of the whole rest of the books and actually now we're standing near his office in central moscow will hopefully he'll appear sometime later in the day we will try to get some more comments from him. he will want to say his next step likely to be to thank. well initially snowden was heading for south america and latin america since he did first ask for political asylum in ecuador then we've heard from believe yeah and venezuela they were ready to take him but he didn't receive his request for his political asylum but then when the bill even president's plane was stopped in europe and searched for snowden i made rumors that he may have been on board that plane it became clear that it's not safe for the whistleblower to basically go

outside off that transit zone that's why so much attention is now being paid to his safety so then through. the we've heard that snowden was considering staying in russia possibly even finding a job here in russia but of course we're still waiting for snowden's own statement and his own comments on the latest events we're going to go live from moscow thank you very much for that. and let's not just consternation developments in the address not on saga with all today's news editor of across the who's here with me in the studio i will hi helen i think yeah oh yes how will this latest developments may's latest about weapons affect the russian u.s. relations i think the offer that snowden has accepted has pushed u.s. russia relations into a new space on

a new space. in my opinion unfortunately echoes. or rather all space and i'm thinking of something like the cold war where we had dissidents being held up by each side as examples of righteousness and moralist moral superiority unfortunately . i think the united states has has taken a stance that has kind of forced air rushes hard to some extent i think if you look at the two key events. across the snowden timeline one being the grounding of ever morale is just. an absolutely mind boggling diplomatic disaster masterminded of quite obviously by washington and and implemented by subservient e.u. states on the one hand and the other hand the other example being the verdicts that were hunted down to bradley manning in fort meade on monday i think that certainly sent a very clear message to edward snowden personally the kind of faith that he might expect even though i think it's

a good it's important regards to see snowden and learning is slightly different lights when the civilian ones it was a military officer however. does it leave us rosie relations in a pretty sticky patch how how will obama. ride this out it's very very unclear right now how divided white house will be able to drag this out i think there's a growing resulting and there's a growing frustration in the in the press corps. the treatment of journalists particularly new york times and the journalist the producer and correspondent for fox who are being threatened with legal cases under the espionage act so i think i think right now the man in the obama administration is pretty much run out of juice on the p.r. front i think obama will have to come to the g. eight meeting in st petersburg anyway but it's right now i think to me putin will be very very reluctant to employ putin as any in any form of p.r. international p.r. . then having every said that there's every. meet the guy tomorrow will be we'll be

reporting on that but personally i don't think either presidents want the water or the water muddied i think they're both on very very thin ice with each other i would think that both of them would like to have the snowden issue swept under the carpet as cleanly as possible but with the level of press interest in this story and it's an extraordinary human story but i think it's we're also very important that we don't lose sight of the message and not the messenger snowden exposed extraordinary violations of privacy systematic violations of privacy by the american security studies which lie about what it did we we must return to that message rather than saying well where does the person of edward snowden and how does how does his face muddy the waters between russia and america i think the more important issue is the message and not the messenger here absolutely i will cross a line here as he helping me in the studio and of course all of this council has been twenty four hours after the latest revelations about edward snowden documents

leaked before have run in moscow again and she can't has that. remember when edward snowden said he could wiretap anyone at any time be the president or a federal judge if he had their personal e-mail that he could see the content of everyone's communications without a warrant the n.s.a. came out and said snowden was lying nobody can do that without a warrant snowden's latest revelation shows yes they can and i say training materials that he had provided to the guardian show that the analysts use a program called x. keyscore to mine and norma's agency databases by filling in a simple onscreen form giving only a broad justification for the search no warrant needed just type in the e-mail address and click search same with your facebook it's another internet activity it can all be easily searched how convenient analysts can also search by name telephone number ip address keywords the language in which the your negativity was

conducted or the type of browser used the presentation claims the program covers nearly everything a typical user does on the internet including the content of emails websites visited and searches as well as their meditator x. keyscore boast global coverage it uses more than seven hundred servers and one hundred fifty sites around the world show me all the encrypted word documents from iran no problem or this part of the top secret training material shows that language is not a problem x. keyscore can do different languages obviously x. his core is not the only data mining program that the n.s.a. uses earlier we learned about the prism program which the agency uses to gain access to the private communications of users of nine popular internet services x. keyscore kind of like looks like their search engine it's their google of course as an ordinary non terrorist citizen you may be perfectly fine with the fact that some analysts say analyst may know more about you than your wife or your husband does

but there are those who are genuinely concerned about the growing power of the n.s.a. . what if they don't want to certain person in office someone who would cut their funding or something this country has a history of weren't happy scandals after all president richard nixon resigned after a whistleblower whistleblower revealed that nixon's office had wiretapped his opposition what makes anyone think that or something like that can't happen today in washington i'm going to check that let's not get reaction on this from investigative journalist tony gosling mystical sing think you are a much need for joining us now i don't see so with the enormous media attention on mr snowden it's hardly surprising that he's not willing to reveal his whereabouts how long do you think do expect him to to behind. well i imagine just within a few weeks who probably come out but i mean this is really following a pattern isn't it we've got julian assange bradley manning and now edward snowden

really the story is the same for each of them what they're doing is they're revealing war crimes and illegal surveillance of innocent people actually illegal what i mean is the people who are doing that surveillance should be in jail they're criminals and we're in a situation now in the west where that is considered to be fine this kind of illegal surveillance and war crimes and people who reveal it and tell the truth to the public of felons or criminals themselves and are hunted down now this is means what we do dealing with here is a system which has become morally bankrupt and i think that's why snowden is in this awful situation today and he's now decided now i think also the timing is very interesting why he decided today to do this and that is because i think within the last twenty four hours or so we had his father snowden who was actually asked by the f.b.i. to come over and affectively spy for the f.b.i.

on his own son now he's been asked to do that i think we're able to doing is he's listening to his dad because he doesn't know who to trust in this crazy world he certainly doesn't trust his own government and i personally wouldn't trust my own government g.c. h.q. are just as deep into this as a national security agency and as we've seen this system that edward has exposed to the public here actually involves spying on our own governments and on the european union incredibly the european union don't seem to care about the fact that there's negotiations going on to deal with trade negotiations but the n.s.a. has been spying on those negotiations when we saw the bolivian president as we heard a little bit earlier on. being stopped his plane being stopped by by france italy spain portugal you have to stop in in vienna i mean this was absolutely discussed in fact i i can't. as they believe in present morality an act of war so where we're dealing with a kind of undercurrent of extreme tension and these characters. and bradley manning

. as well as as well as edward snowden are all showing the public what's really going on. do you think today's developments latest developments and mean snowden has temporary responding to from the fear of the u.s. prosecution well it's incredible that he would he probably would have gone to other places if it was possible but what's happened is the west has bought off these other countries of possibilities of the one of the most fascinating aspects to all of this of course is a few days ago the russian deputy prime minister dmitri rosol again said that there was nothing new in what the russians had learned from from snowden what that actually is saying in a bit of a hidden message is that actually what snowden is doing is revealing these things not to the russians or not to america's so-called enemies but to us to the public and that's what's not going on here in the west we've had very little proper

investigative journalism really over the last ten years into what our governments are doing with our taxpayers' money so of course snowden is a bit of a hero i mean the western public deserves to know what's going on with our money particularly when we're seeing really millions of innocent people under surveillance what about our passwords our passwords which access our accounts of things like internet banking of the national security agency got all these as well these are the questions we need to have answered right now. tony gosling investigative journalist thank you very much indeed for your soul and thank you and let me remind you of all breaking news story edward snowden has left moscow's sheremetyevo airport this information being confirmed by the north system him have reportedly did so in a toxic by himself and. in the paperwork issued today allows him to walk and remain in russia for up to twelve months his whereabouts as a nod and accorded to the noise snowden went to a quote a safe place and to remind you snowden is this such

a road intelligence on this from north carolina who leaked details of a number of top secret surveillance programs the revelations sparked massive public outrage with a wave of criticism coming from across the u.s. and around the world. the news continues here on our team just a moment to stay with us. technology innovation. developments. the main competitor girl on the market is mother nature. may customers struggle with the. fight for each. dirty supply.

to let people think your place is pure water. they use it up there in a war. and flush their toilets with the same warning that this series is selling and spring water. this is coming to life from moscow let's move on now and whistleblower edward snowden has left the transit at moscow's sheremetyevo airport off to find weeks in limbo this information has been confirmed by the north who is assisting him and that's what he says the paperwork

a ship today snowden to let him walk and remain in russia fought to twelve months and that's now bring i bring in say his and i'll see contributor on the line from london mr tons a great to see as always what kind of reaction do you expect from washington and the. well washington hopefully can't do anything about it suddenly in the next few hours mind i mean the russian migration department took its time though one might argue or what was a decision making process behind this i think the critical thing here is that he's desperately trying to avoid american torture and the kind of american show trial that we saw earlier in the week and what now is perhaps the most dangerous aspect of edward snowden's life now is how protected can he be in moscow no wonder delaying press conferences what happens if someone had fake british press korean

dentals and came to this moscow press conference that edward snowden would give and what exactly could happen how safe is it of course he's going to be safer in u.n. security council nations like china or russia but can it stop an assassin u.s. assassin that is one of the questions open to debate at the moment it's not a house complied with russian conditions just stopping any case against washington but is he really free now. yes it was odd some might argue the vladimir putin could just talk about edward snowden's revelations as harming the united states edward snowden and his supporters over he came to emphasize that everything edward snowden does is motivated by well in effect patriotism and his belief in the founding principles of united states of america certainly had snowden doesn't believe anything he's doing is against the united states has interests one only has to go to the first leaks about the

national security agency which so obviously interested both republicans and democrats in the united states tea party republicans libertarians as well as the left in american politics everything snowden did game is a shock i think to the political elite let alone to the american people so. presumably edward snowden would say that any new revelations while he's in moscow will not be homing the united states whether it harms u.s. russia relations is another matter. with rodney moniz trial washington has shown it's not willing to go easy on whistleblowers how can they continue that seed of snowden now that hasan in the russian territory. yes i suppose on the optimistic. the torture of bradley manning by the american authorities did

not dissuaded snowden from leaving hawaii and his job at booz hamilton so i don't think the american heavy handedness with people trying to expose the truth is dissuading whistleblowers but certainly in most go i think it would snowden will be seeking to keep all those papers going and we must remember that glenn greenwald the journalist to edward snowden spoke to said tip of the iceberg as regards the information so far been published around the world in terms of edward snowden's expenses and what about glenn greenwald should he fear prosecution it should more leaks that much can snowden be blamed for the timing of. mr towns a kind of he made. sorry we lost him all right sorry for that technical

problem that was. a contributor talking to may. not be snowden's string of groundbreaking revelations about the n.s.a. surveillance operations have led to the declassifying of several top secret documents detailing data collection on the agency as top officials are being questioned in congress after the widescale intelligence operations became public knowledge is will. well the leaks by edward snowden have led to a renewed national debate on government spying and privacy rights the revelations of the leaks prompted the senate judiciary committee to hold a hearing on five the foreign intelligence surveillance act that allows the government program to happen now f.b.i. and n.s.a. officials are in damage control mode eleven judges on the far as a court are far from a rubber stamp instead they review all of our pleadings thoroughly question us and

they don't approve an order until they are satisfied that we have met all statutory and constitutional requirements in an effort to appear more transparent director of national security james clapper has just released some documents from two thousand and nine to two thousand and eleven that were previously classified but many civil rights and privacy advocates remain troubled by how broad the government surveillance program is and worry about the ability of the government to track innocent citizens at the senate hearing government officials discuss the possibility of changing the place the process to make it more transparent another sign that the leaks are making waves is happening over in las vegas at the annual def con hacker con. every year this year and i say security agency director keep alexander was the keynote speaker and we're hearing the participants of the event of war to say the least not happy basically the. every so you can possibly get. was exceptional use it it's talking of which the

rest of it really makes no difference whatsoever proving that there is tension between the government and the computer hacking community but it's clear for the obama administration cybersecurity is now a priority in washington liz wall. and let's once again remind our breaking news story edward snowden has left moscow's sheremetyevo airport this information being confronted by the north assisting him he reportedly in a toxic by himself and we'll bring you more updates on this developing story later in the program. and let's not take a look at some other news that's being dominating the global headlines of today's syria could see the influx of european weaponry that's a you need as make a decision on supplying lethal aid so rebel fighters then official deadline loaded by britain and france was set in may how i was saying is that and the e.u.

ministers seem to have had a change of heart concerned by a surge of foreigners now financially in the country and many of those come from e.u. states a french official says this flow is unprecedented during the nine years of the album called things only fifty your heart is in don't identify it as going to the country and while in syria and while you're alone more than one hundred left france to fight against president assad experts say most of those westerners logic allies and joining the terrorist ranks of al qaeda and the own nusra front the official estimate number of europeans for heating in syria is up to six hundred while the actual number could be much higher. see the disk. was this is what this is feeding the hesitancy. the u.k. on the syrian rebels or not that's a question that's been answered a number of different ways it's a conflict began to mostly in varying degrees of light but ultimately always sending signals of support for the opposition it will be move political progress

unless the opposition is able to withstand the stroke and put pressure on assad so he those there is no military victory so we will also increase our efforts to support and to shape the moderate opposition we are prepared to amend palms and bulk of. we must ensure that these arms go to the syrian national coalition and no one else to what a half years on syria continues to pay the delicate complex picture a battleground constantly shifting as it is with western leaders rhetoric in american twelve hour meeting in may need or is agreed to disagree on syria with the u.k. and france successfully getting their way even though they were at odds with the twenty five other member states the european union has agreed to bring to an end their arms embargo on the syrian opposition this is the outcome of the united kingdom and the wanted rhetoric of the millicent and the need up to the libyan

intervention also led by the same players it's remarkable there you go they could simply try and override the experience of libya because as a recent report cited in the. supermarket for the entirety of the of the middle east and and if they were to go into syria that would be true to the power of tenet on august first e.u. countries can reassess their positions on syria and those who wish to arm the rebels may do so but as that day drew closer hesitation grew louder with david cameron acknowledging that there are quote unquote a lot of bad guys amongst the rebels recent reports from syria show all kind of affiliated groups wanting to establish an islamic caliphate and dissolution rebels and defecting back to the government side before the war in afghanistan and before the attack on iraq there was no al qaida in iraq there was no al qaida in yemen there was no al-qaeda in somalia there was no al qaida in syria but there is now an

idea that's not lost on the british prime minister there's too much extremism among some of the rebels but frankly we do need to do more to help promote those parts of the opposition that want a free purpose to democratic syria and so we're not being the rebels this are cilia r t london. prime interest is next here on our city. remember we talked about clothing for regular folks like you and me that can make you invisible drones well freedom fashions as i like to call them are continuing to expand although the fact that our drones infrared eyes are very scary the more common street cameras are way more likely to want to average day violate your privacy and thus they invented the justice cap this hack blocks your face with the

lights from face recognition software all the camera will see is an anonymous glowing ghost i personally haven't tested this thing out nor have i seen it with my own eyes and three aaa batteries on your head at all times does seem like a bit of a bother but hey if you really want to be left alone and you're willing to throw down a few dollars this looks like a pretty good fashion statement to me the sad thing is that this sort of invention shouldn't need to exist people shouldn't have to live with the constant fear of unlawful consent less observation but sadly they do so inventors keep the freedom fashions coming but that's just my opinion. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems. you think you understand it and then something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew. part of the big picture.

that happened in welcome the prime into perry and boring and good that's good to have find its bad day and true to form chairman every day baffling or is that waffling message that pretty much. gives them authority to do whatever the fed ones on the fly all the while pretending to hear to some sort of plan that evans plan or otherwise tapering might be tabled or not it's get as zero hedge points out the fannie and freddie also have a hand in all of it that's because the government mortgage giants who are supposedly being wound down paid the treasury sixty six billion dollars in profits so the billions uncle sam doesn't need to borrow as much next quarter which means a thread's eighty five billion dollars per month bond buying.
