1:01 am
a very good morning from moscow just after nine am here in the russian capital. u.s. was a blow edward snowden is free to live and work in russia for up to twelve months without fearing extradition the former n.s.a. contractor has been granted temporary asylum in the country meaning he finally left the moscow airport where he's been trapped in transit limbo since june. has been following developments on the whole snowden joining us live here on the program good morning to you first and foremost what does this temporary asylum mean does anybody have any idea of the whereabouts now of edward snowden. well now that snowden has managed to leave the transit zone of war to this is a whole new chapter in this story but if earlier we knew at least approximately where he was now his location is even more secret. even to some of you to the
1:02 am
fact that he's the most wanted person on planet earth to do hugh be concerned about the issue of security that includes questions of safety and the police where he is going to live it's all up to him as usual we will consult and advise him but on other issues it's up to him for meeting the press yes he's ready to meet the russian media but you need to understand you still need some time to adapt to russian realities a lawyer on the personally accompanied snowden and we can weeks representatives harrison alex of the airport and put them in a taxi initially it was expected that snowden was supposed to leave the airport last week but it did take time for all the necessary legal procedures in a statement published on thursday snowden outlined how everything was done in full compliance with russian and international legislation we queue leaks have been very actively monitoring snowden snowden's movements they said that they've been looking
1:03 am
after the safety throughout his entire trip they've also been either confirming or denying speculation about his movement inside the airport itself whether or not he's gone through passport control or he's left the airports premises or he's in a taxi or not and we've also heard from our giuliana son there is a who said that he thinks whistle blowing has become a tendency and that soon others will follow snowden's example so you go to i suppose one of the ultimate questions now is although we don't know exactly where edward snowden is what are his next steps going to be you know what we talking a job a house with a white picket fence what. well the former n.s.a. contractor did agreed to the conditions voiced by president putin under which he could stay in russia and that is to stop arming washington's image and the world concerning his latest revelations he did pass all these documents to journals before he arrived to board from there we know that snowden's looking possibly at finding
1:04 am
a job here in russia nothing concrete at the moment but russia's largest social network has already made an offer to him as an eighty specialist to looking after the privacy and see the private security of users and r.t. if you're going to be going off there just in front of the kremlin thanks. by the mean time i russia's granting of temporary asylum to edward snowden has infuriated washington the white house hinted that september's summit between president obama and vladimir putin may now actually be canceled and that's some republican senators have called for a major rethink of relations between the two countries he's gotten a teacher can now gauge is the u.s. response. together with edward snowden russia has now become the object of washington's wrath fiery remarks are coming from congress senator lindsey graham says americans in washington should consider this a game changer in our relationship with russia senator john mccain goes it is
1:05 am
a slap in the face of all americans we cannot allow today's action by putin to stand without serious repr cautions the white house touched upon some of those are precautions saying moscow's decision on snowden undermines the growing cooperation between russian and u.s. security services the white house spokesperson said washington is quoted extremely disappointed with moscow also this mr snowden is not a whistleblower he is accused of leaking classified information and has been charged with three fairly villany counts and he should be returned to the united states polls show the majority of americans actually disagree with the white house on whether or not mr snowden is a whistle blower they think it is but it seems the white house and some lawmakers are only happy to focus on russia because it takes the thunder away from the conversation about the surveillance state but the conversation is happening as much as the government would want to be can't put a lid on it new laws are being proposed to rein in n.s.a. surveillance last week congress killed one such bill by only twelve votes lawmakers
1:06 am
have indicated there will be more such proposals in response to snowden's revelations senior intelligence officials have testified in congress releasing classified documents but they wouldn't be having that conversation if it weren't for snowden from snowden we first learned about the prism program a system the n.s.a. uses to gain access to the private communications of users of nine popular internet services the government said the n.s.a. does that only with a warrant from the feis a court those are secret court orders snowden said the fisa court merely rubber sems such warrants and he revealed one such secret court order for a telecommunications company to hand over its clients data in bulk the government has acknowledged all collection of communication. but said no one can look at the content of those communications without a warrant it's known and said yes they can this week the guardian were lying on the documents that snowden had earlier provided his release details of a program that makes it possible we learned about x.
1:07 am
keyscore which allows to search through vast amounts of data collected by other programs having sekret finest his career and his comfortable lifestyle it's not as said he wanted to expose the government lies in washington i'm going to shut down while russia on its part of those absolutely no reason why the decision of a snowden's asylum should damage relations with the u.s. or the view also being shared by a london based legal expert xander mchugh years the ball in a sense is in the american court the russian authorities have been extremely careful to do this by the book they've insisted on mr snowden making a problem. he's done it through a lawyer there is a well founded case here for asylum the u.s. has no legal grounds to object to this no that he is in russia proper i think he the intention will be to apply for full refugee status if the u.s. number less wants to jeopardize its very important relationship with russia because
1:08 am
russia has done something which it is legally fully entitle to do that is a decision for the u.s. but many people will i think feel that if the u.s. does that then the u.s. frankly is behaving in a very strange and self destructive way. snowden's leaks continue to span the atlantic in fact the latest revelations are published by the guardian newspaper now tell us that ultimately britain's government communications headquarters was not only spying extensively on its own citizens but was actually being funded in a huge part by washington d.c. to do so let's not have a look here and see how those intelligence gathering programs came to be. g c h q pump a huge amounts of money into efforts to gather personal data from mobile phones and applications saying that it wanted to exploit any phone anywhere any time just the past five years alone the amount of data gathered both from the
1:09 am
internet traffic by the intelligence agency has now increased by more than seventy times so auntie's correspondent polyploid canal taking a very close look at what role america has in all of this the us government has paid at least one hundred million pounds to the u.k. spy agency over the past three years now in return for this money they've got access to and influence over britain's intelligence gathering programs now these were allegedly top secret payments the americans expect a return on their investments in g c h q so g.h.q. has got to work very hard to meet the n.s.a.'s demands which almost makes it sound as though that the u.k. intelligence agency is working for the n.s.a. i mean for such a prestigious agency these revelations are likely to be extremely damaging one g c
1:10 am
h q strategy briefing that the guardian has seen says to quote g c h q must pull its weight and be seen to pull its weight which gives you an impression of the sort of the work ethic in g c h q and the how hard they're trying to please the americans really the guardian seen other documents that reveal that g c h q is. actively pouring money into spying on personal mobile phones and applications and according to the guardian some staff that work for d.c. h.q. have expressed concern about the morales sea and about the ethics behind what it is they do they are given the level of deception in their work as well apparently a number of employees have been concerned about that now the leaked papers also show that the u.k.'s biggest fear is that the us becomes dissatisfied with the work that d.c. h.q. is doing and as a result will invest less money into the u.k.
1:11 am
spy agency which brings us to watch a number of observers are concerned most about in this story which is just how close the relationship between g.c. h.q. and the n.s.a. really is certainly considering the amount of money that's been poured in and just to remind you that it's over one hundred million pounds over the past three years it would seem as though the british side is almost dependent on their american counterparts on his political right there in snowden's leaks in the n.s.a. sweeping surveillance program also dominating this year's tech conference in las vegas the agency's head trying to defend the much criticized snooping methods however his speech should not exactly receive in the most warm of manners by the participants there were producers and you break a attended the event and has more. people who touch computers with any sort of degree and anyone who can do something with technology to harness it to make it better to innovate to to invent their fifteen thousand of them they're all
1:12 am
here in vegas and they're all looking forward to having an interesting couple of days soon to leave with some new knowledge in the past encryption and different ways of communicating with people over the internet over the phone these are these are topics that have always been discussed at def con but this year in particular given the recent disclosures for from edward snowden and what we've learned about the n.s.a. people are especially interested this year and in fact it's route to the course of the convention there's going to be a panel discussion with the electronic frontier foundation and another with the american civil liberties union where they're going over what exactly is n.s.a. leaks mean you know it's not just civil liberties that are at risk there's all sorts of computer legislation many which are outdated that can provide a way for hackers to accidentally end up not necessarily on the radar of the federal government the just in jail in general alexander spoke yesterday he was actually booed he was jeered there were obscenity that were yelled in his direction he tried to defend a prison he tried to defend and the leaked documents attributed to mr snowden which
1:13 am
have really blown the cover of the n.s.a. and explained exactly what many people have thought for decades now i've already spoken to a handful of people this morning at the convention who was one of the first things that they were mentioned was well you know we're here right now because of what the n.s.a. has been doing that we need to find ways to make sure that we can still communicate freely but you know these are people who already specialized many of the attendees specialize in encryption specialized in security so if you're not necessarily learning something new here you're at least being able to network with other people who can help kind of bring this community a little bit more closely knit at a time when that's really imperative. and it's not the technology that has apparently landed a russian national inside a u.s. prison and moscow says it is outraged by the latest in a so-called vicious trend of extraditions after a russian program i get snatched right out of the dominican republic straight to america with no warning that story on the rest of the world's top headlines and

1:15 am
a lot from moscow to talk to with me rule received just a moment on the r.t. world update. the last british inmate of the guantanamo bay prison has now been claiming that god sexually assault him during routine prisons is another revelation comes amid president obama's new push to shut down the camp however the white house's all put steps so they keep stumbling upon a no go from congress sees been carrying out an investigation into the story with. the reporting. shocker armor the alaska british detainee at the
1:16 am
guantanamo bay prison who's been on hunger strike since january against his unlawful detention the claims that he's being assaulted sometimes sexually during prison searches however was arrested in afghanistan in two thousand and one he's been at the prison for eleven years without having been charged with any offense and he says he that he still faces a daily quote unquote forced cell extractions they flip me over for the search mostly it's just an assault sometimes a sexual assault we call it to get my message they carry me like a second potatoes which is really painful for me. this information was revealed in a declassified conversation between elmer and his lawyer in the united states and we spoke to him on r.t. and he told us about his a last conversation with a british detainee a sexual assault is something that's happening to all the prisoners who come through there's it's a little as you have found calls for us to be talking to
1:17 am
a couple more people beginning of next week and these guys unfortunately will be subjected to the same intimidation the sad truth is that means that some of the truisms especially we can do as they are by hunger strikes don't come to legal because it's illegal because they're just not willing to undergo this sort of humiliation and that's just wrong it's under this news conference weeks after u.k. prime minister david cameron had said that he had raised the case of our with the u.s. president barack obama apple g eight summit over concerns that the u.s. was trying to render armor to saudi arabia we contacted the british a foreign office and this is what they said. we take any allegations of mr mistreatment seriously mr ramos case remains a high priority for the u.k. government and we continue to make clear to the u.s. that we want him released and returned to the u.k. as a matter of urgency stories of inmates at guantanamo have been coming to light especially
1:18 am
with attention on every hunger strike that's been going on inside most of this information revealed through lawyers of the detainees and one other example for instance is more or not to have described the prison as a quote unquote place without was he said that he had suffered repeated abuse secretary geisha techniques including sexual humiliation the water torture as well as sleep deprivation in response to artie's queries if the deputy joint task force public affairs officer at one tunnel so this reply. we don't comment on any did to me like a chanst me through the air defense attorneys regardless of how ridiculous and absurd they would be we also contacted the u.s. state department for their comments on the shocker almos case but we have yet to hear a reply reporting from london i'm tess are cilia and as the guantanamo bay hunger strike i just closer now to the hoff year mark he starts his special coverage bisecting what keeps the inmates in their indefinite limbo you cannot stick around
1:19 am
for that one on the six. guantanamo bay detention facility now over eleven years old broken presidential promises the congressional sabotage the never ending war on terror all forces and fire together to keep this prison open but now a hunger strike brings a tear it all down as this hunger strike near six months party takes a closer look at the prison i just can't because. and so just turning twenty minutes past the hour here in moscow the russian capital though expressing outrage over the latest extradition of a russian citizen to the u.s. from a third country program or alexander the pan that was snatched from the dominican republic without moscow's consent or knowledge artist on back now joining us live from the program to give us more on this case so good to see you tom this morning
1:20 am
the name of alexander the pardon probably knew to most of our viewers what is not about the man himself and the case for that matter. a spokesperson for russia's foreign ministry says that they're actively working to stay informed about the case of alexander payne and they also say that they are noisy that they weren't told about plans arrests sooner in their view they say this is just yet another example of russian national extradited from a third country specifically to the u.s. that they consider this unacceptable. course we are very concerned that we are once again faced with the interests of the russian citizens on the use one in the third contrie we consider this practice which has become a vicious tendency completely unacceptable we have repeatedly pointed out to the u.s. that if they have created says with russian citizens they have to send requests to russian law enforcement agencies in agreement with the ballet through treaty on the

a ban from the industry when his punishments announced a bit late. it's been a pleasure having you with us here in just a moment on the legendary host larry king giving his unique take on the world's top news with global leaders and policy makers joining him in the studio live from moscow this is i. remember we talked about calling for regular folks like you and me that can make you invisible to drones while 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 on average day violate your privacy and thus they invented the justice cap this hat blocks your face with

l.e.d. 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 wearing 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 should have to live with the constant fear of unlawful consent less observation but sadly they do so invaders keep the freedom fashions coming but that's just my opinion. from one short reverberates through the centuries when vengeance called for blood. i have imagined hanging in this member in him for eight years to. get out wave law and faith in the caucasus. vendettas were handed down from generation to jenna.

fourteen didn't reading seventeenth in science and twenty fifth in math or a wide why well it's tough to pinpoint you know one reason why we have fallen as far behind as we have but it is truly problematic i mean if you look at the research today more than half of employers are saying that they cannot find people in their applicant pool who have the skills and knowledge necessary to fill mission critical jobs which means that in this time of high unemployment etc the people who actually have the jobs can't find people to fill those jobs which means there's a disconnect between how we are training the next generation of americans and what the skills and needs are so it's all a concept it's a concept that i think people don't take seriously enough and what the united states we have but we have a graphic up just how big is.
