edward snowden. asylum it's decision the court fury in washington. including the possible cancellation of a. secretly . into the biggest british. and washington. at the guantanamo. a special investigation.

of the world's top headlines live from moscow this is r t with me. thank you for joining us today. u.s. whistleblower edward snowden is free to live and work in russia for now up to twelve months without fearing extradition of the former n.s.a. contractor has been granted temporary asylum in the country that means he finally left the moscow airport transit lounge where he's been trapped in transit limbo since june. has been following the developments in the ongoing. now that snowden has managed to leave the transit zone of sydney to the airport 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 you would have to start with you to the fact that he's the most wanted person on planet earth to do he'll be concerned about the issue of security that includes questions of safety and the police where

he is going to live that's all up to him as he was lawyer will consult and advise him but on other issues it's up to him as we're 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 so we can weeks representatives harrison out of the airport and put them in a taxi initially it was expected that snowden was supposed to leave the airport last week but had to take time for all the necessary legal procedures that in a statement published on thursday snowden outlined how everything was done in full compliance with russian and international legislation 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 farming washington's image and while concerning his latest revelations he did pass all these documents to journalists

before he arrived to show he meets with airport from what we know that snowden's looking possibly at finding 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 in charge of the privacy and security of users. you got pissed off there i spoke to him just a bit earlier in the program now russia's granting of temporary asylum to edward snowden well it's infuriated washington now the white house hinted that september's summit between president obama and vladimir putin could now be canceled and all of that as some republican senators are calling for a major a rethink of relations between the two countries gauging the u.s. response from washington he's guy in a chicken. 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 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 whistleblower they think it is but it seems the white house and some lawmakers are only happy to focus on russia because it takes the funder 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 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 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 debtor 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 relying on the

documents that snowden had earlier provided has released details of a program that makes it possible we learned about x. 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 and said he wanted to expose the government's lies in washington i'm going to shut down for the meantime russia on its part says that there's no reason why the decision over snowden's asylum should damage in any way relations with the u.s. but also that's a view shared by a london based legal expert alexander mecurio. the ball in a sense is in the american court that 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 know 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 russia has done something which it is legally fully entitle to do that is a decision for the u.s. but many people like the 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 for example the latest revelations are published by the guardian newspaper sure that the british government's communications headquarters was not only spying extensively on its own citizens but was also being massively funded by washington d.c. with its target all out now and see exactly how all the intelligence gathering programs worked out here we have it of yukos g c h q pumping huge amounts of money in efforts to gather personal data from mobile phones and applications saying it

wants to exploit any phone anywhere any time in fact in just the past five years alone the amount of data gathered from the internet traffic by the intelligence agency has increased by over seventy times so auntie is probably boycott now takes a very close look at exactly what is washington's role in all of. the u.s. 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 do you see 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 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 d.c. h.q. is actively pouring money into spying on personal mobile phone. and applications and according to the guardian some staff that work for d.c. h.q. have expressed concern about the morales see 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.

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. police work right there now snowden's leaks also dominated the world's main computer security conferences a taking place within the space of just a few recent days in las vegas the n.s.a. chief defended the sweeping surveillance program during his speech at the first gathering black hand there's attempts to mend the agency's reputation did not go exactly as planned. we stand for freedom. not bad. but i think what you're saying.

is that in these cases. what's the decision where's the discussion and what tools should we have to stop those you know. my. wife. on the n.s.a. director was heckled at an event that usually not only haku isn't security professionals but also representatives of government agencies on corporations tensions between your thirties and the community of computer specialists well became even more obvious when organizers of the next conference defcon asked federal agents who are usually welcome at the event to stay out. where producer andrew blake attended the event and has the details where's the discussion def-con is united states premier happy security convention and actually comes just days after another one right up the street there are

a range of topics being covered here at def con of course everything from personal security to home security internet security computer security it's not just that civil liberties are very hot discussion especially given the recent and the say disclosures people want to know how they can communicate privately and securely on the web and really there's no better place to do it than here one doesn't necessarily have to say that tensions are high given those recent n.s.a. disclosures but it's certainly clear that people aren't exactly happy with the way the government has been reading computer hackers given those disclosures made by edward snowden and its impact on intelligence community the computer world privacy security so many different topics he's obviously being discussed all over the place there is a party leader this weekend called snowed in and there's another one that's taking place at the transit lounge and i actually saw a couple different edward snowden cut out to be. being carted around the facilities here from what i've seen a rather supportive of what he did exposing something that the government has tried

to hold secret for so long but of course obviously didn't do that bit of a job it's no secret that the n.s.a. is bank lending intelligence for years but given those respects closures people are ticked off. but not for technology has apparently landed a russian national inside a u.s. prison a moscow says it is outraged by the latest in a vicious trend of extraditions after a russian program i get snatched from the dominican republic straight to america with no warning a report on that and more after the break. we speak your language will not advance. your music programs these documentaries some

spanish matters to you. a little eternity of angola's keep these stories. for you here. in troy the spanish. visit. more news today violence is once again flared up. and these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations rule the day.

live from moscow it's not far from prime interest but for now here on the program the last british inmate at the guantanamo bay prison has now claimed that guards sexually assaulted him during routine prisons and the revelation comes amid president obama's new push to shut down the camp over the white house's steps keep stumbling upon a no go from congress has been carrying out an investigation into the story with our very own tester also a. shocker armor the alaska british detainee at the 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 court a court of force cell extractions they flip me over for the search mostly that's

just an assault sometimes a sexual assault we call it the 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 the british detainees a sexual assault is something that's happening to all the prisoners through comfort there's it's a little as you have found calls for us to be talking to 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 phone calls because they're just not willing to undergo this sort of humiliation and that's just wrong it's under this news conference in weeks after u.k. prime minister david cameron had. case of amber 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 foreign office and this is what they said. we take any allegations of mr mistreatment seriously mr obama's 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 with attention on every hunger strike that's been going on inside most of this information revealed through lawyers of the detainees a one other example for instance is more or not to have described the prison as a quote unquote place without walls he said that he had suffered repeated abuse of interrogation techniques including sexual humiliation water torture as well as sleep deprivation in response to artie's queries at the deputy joint task force public affairs officer at guantanamo sent us this reply. we don't comment on any

detain you a geisha 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 a shocker on my space but we have yet to hear a reply reporting from london i'm tess are cilia. and as the guantanamo bay hunger strike just close enough to the half year mark all to start a special coverage the second thing what keeps the inmates in the indefinite limbo i do stay with us for that will be on august the six. the guantanamo bay detention facility is now over eleven years old the broken presidential promises the congressional sabotage the never ending war on terror all forces and conspired together to keep this prison open but now a hunger strike there is the tear it all down because this hunger strike near six months r.t. takes

a closer look at the prison i just can't be close. by before we get to the world update for now moscow says it's an outrage for yet another extradition of a russian national to the u.s. from a third country being made without russia's consent or even knowledge for that matter a program i was on that upon that would snatch from the dominican republic in june it is fate was only disclosed a month later. in a small in the case of moscow's reaction. a spokesperson from the russian foreign ministry says they're trying to stay informed about alexander case on july the twenty six they visited him in prison in the us state of georgia wade been extradited from the dominican republic however they say that in their view this is yet another example of a russian national being extradited from a third country to the u.s. and in the end their view that is unacceptable and we are very concerned because i

was sick and faced through the rest of the russian citizens on the u.s. war on in the third contrie after 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 cream and says with russian citizens they have to send requests to russian law enforcement agencies in agreement with the ballet through treaty on the show legally on criminal cases signed in one thousand nine hundred nine but this is still not being them. twenty four year old pan and was on interpol's highest priority red list for arrest he's wanted for embezzlement through internet banking scams totaling five million dollars is suspected to be part of a network the british soft banks via the internet however his mother say she's confused about what's happened to him over the program he's interested in computers but mostly he's a person of science you know i can't believe that you wrote

a computer program that's what he does he likes to tinker with hardware he develops software but i can't believe what he's accused of i don't understand why he was arrested i just don't understand not because i'm his mother them i talk to his friend who invited him to the dominican republic i asked him whether my son was ok for money he said recently he's been borrowing money from me but. there are other cases like this on july the twenty second dimitrios to north was actually directed to the u.s. from lift. same year for smuggling that night vision goggles in two thousand and eleven constantine yet a shango was sentenced to twenty years in prison in the us for conspiracy to smuggle cocaine there he was extradited there from liberia in may two thousand and ten and in april two thousand and twelve the group was sentenced to twenty five years in prison in the u.s. for conspiracy to kill americans in one of the things he was extradited there from

thailand in november two thousand and ten after a sting operation and a straight to cairo now to open up the r.t. world update and styles of supporters of ousted egyptian president mohamed morsi have marched to the headquarters of the country's military intelligence defying government calls to abandon their demonstrations in cairo police were ordered to break up any and all rallies after the cabinet ruled that further rioting posed out of a threat to national security and morsy was overthrown back in july and demonstrations by his supporters have been continuing unabated despite the ongoing heavy security crackdown. a former goldman sachs trader has been found guilty of six fraud charges and a high profile credit crunch case. misled investors about the risks of mortgage securities back in two thousand and seven it earned goldman sachs millions of dollars and personal bonus of almost two million and the trader faces fines and

a banned from the industry when his punishment is announced a bit later. well back with more news in half an hour's time hope to see you then and in-depth look into the mucky waters of global finances climbing trees to. remember we talked about clothing for regular folks like you and me that can make you invisible to 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 hat 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. good afternoon and welcome to prime interest i am harry and boy big wish and here's the stories that we're tracking today. markets are up can gradually some burning here while been vacant said they put q.e. on hold this morning the s.n.p.

five hundred added over seventeen hundred today with the help of a key manufacturing report according to barons at one of our. he sources they say quote it's hard to understate the gains in this report unfortunately construction spending collapse by the largest amount in a year missing expectations dramatically and mortgage rates that would be the cost of buying a home here think constructions are up again now just shy of four and a half percent problem is just three months ago they were told percentage point lower and that was about the time chairman bernanke he threatened to taper off his q.e. bond buying then there are all these funds that swooped in to buy cheap foreclosed houses and turn them into rental properties well they are selling as we've been reporting abuse of the i.p.o.'s in other words they're dumping the inventory on the middle class we can't have above without right and as zero hedge notes american homes for rent just priced out of forty four percent discount versus its june prospectus offering meaning rents both small in new york size alike are leaving the

ship and there's new developments with the controversial durban amendment which we've coined as the swipe fights and you as a district judge take to back the federal reserve's rule capping debit card swipe fees saying they're still too high the durbin amendment has saved merchants billions to date which they're not passing on to consumers and retailers are asking for even more meanwhile banks are losing revenue and passing these costs on a debit card costumers more than likely the fed will appeal of the court's decision i'll break down and or change fees in detail and yes a bit and i will discuss a number of recent global economic trends with gerald celente detroit fred summers versus yale and well you get the picture and hopefully we will get a handle on the future. and here is what's in your prime interest.

channeling the dog from back to the future it's time to think fourth dimensionally that means we're going to look into the crystal ball with the help of gerald celente and he is the director of trends research institute gerald thank you for joining me. thank you it's great to be with you well uni's are in the news we have detroit and we have this prediction from meredith whitney a few years ago which didn't come true in its day are we seeing the first domino right here with detroit is it oh about to fall. well it's not all about to fall and she's correct i believe in her assessment of all of these unfunded pensions etc but

to us at the trends journal the did the fall of detroit the bankruptcy is a metaphor for the entire united states so let me explain this is from a it's gone from motown to know. this this was the country you know henry ford giving workers a working wage so they could buy automobiles this is then becomes the place where dionne dust realisation began and america starts sending its jobs to cheap labor markets whether within the states and then overseas and also very importantly it also became the blueprint for america's future in producing garbage quality products you know i'm old enough to remember when automobiles were really great and then they became really crummy and that's when the japanese and all the marketers

moved in to the united states and then when you look at what's going on in detroit now in keeping the metaphor. for the united states it's a new form of war stary t. measures here's how it goes we go bankrupt we don't have money to pay the pension is and the people that earn their money but i'll tell you what we have money for we're going to pay back those banks seventy five cents on the dollar how's that so when you look at woods going on in detroit and see what's going to be going on around the rest of the nation we're going to have these same problems this is what you could look forward to add one more word to president obama say that detroit wasn't going to go bankrupt. well he might have said that and i would japanese they do produce some good cars but we have a key manufacturing statistic that came out today it's the manufacturing port and it was fifty five.
