to understand you still need some time to adapt to russian realities a lawyer in the personally accompanied snowden and 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 it did 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 by president putin under which he could stay in russia and that is to stop harming 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
9:03 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 in charge of the privacy and security of users. russia's decision has made the blood of american politicians boil while the white house signaled if my council septembers summit between russian and u.s. leaders some congressmen are heading threats of consequences at moscow including possible sanctions. 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
9:04 am
percussions 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. is not a whistleblower who's 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 have indicated there will be more such proposals in response to snowden's revelations senior intelligence officials have testified in congress releasing
9:05 am
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 snowden said yes they can this week the guardian relying on the documents that snowden had earlier provided his release 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 for his his career and his comfortable lifestyle snowden
9:06 am
said he wanted to expose the government's case in washington i'm going to shut down and was far too political analyst dmitri and he things that if the roles were reversed the u.s. would do exactly the same as rush. i think that snowden is a very special case because he didn't serve any foreign government what he did he did on his own and he revealed this information to press the foreign agents i'm pretty sure that the united states would shield such a person if he had been of russian origin and if he had been found in the united states russia i think was a lot very willing to have him here i think it's clear from mr bush's statements that he was not particularly a bit but the question is so what could do if he had delivered mr snowden out of the united states mr snowden would probably face life imprisonment in the united states so no civil list country can do it or this country of all the respect of.
9:07 am
russia there is no reason why the decision of a snowden's asylum should damage relations with the u.s. that's a view shared by london based legal experts and examined in a curious. 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 know that he is in russia proper anything he the intention will be to apply for full refugee status if the u.s. nonetheless wants to jeopardize its very important relationship with russia because russia has done something which it is legally fully intitled to do that is a decision for the u.s. but many people will i think feel that if the u.s.
9:08 am
does that then the u.s. frankly is behaving in a very strange and self destructive way. and while snowden vowed to keep his mouth shut to enjoy russia's asylum he's earned a revelations continue to shake the world the guardian newspaper has published a report suggesting that britain's government communication headquarters not only spied on its citizens but was funded by the us and that's now check out how the tit for tat spying chain works the u.k. g c h q large amounts of money into efforts to gather personal data from mobile phones and applications saying it wanted to be able to exploit any flown anywhere anytime in the past five years alone the amount of data gathered from the internet and mobile traffic by the intelligence agency has increased by more than seventy
9:09 am
times r.t. is part of micah takes a closer look at the role washington played in all this. 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 d.t.h. who 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 that g c h q must
9:10 am
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 two is actively pouring money into spying on personal mobile phones and applications and according to the guardian some staff that work for g c h q have expressed concern about the more reality 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
9:11 am
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 those now legal restrictions stopping the e.u. from deep involvement in the syrian conflict as an arms embargo on the country expires a report on how scores of european families are being damaged by the conflict raging thousands of miles away. and also later this move towards more secular laws and front sparks a debate over multiculturalism as some french citizens claim they don't recognize their own country anymore that's. the conviction that bradley manning would continue to get snow it could be no doubt whistleblowers will be intimidated and imprisoned by the powers that be. publics

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 surge may sleep 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 this news comes just weeks after u.k. prime minister david cameron had said that he had raised the case of amr with the u.s. president barack obama at the 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 and again 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

9:18 am
years without charge and his lawyer clive smith says they are in phase of centuries of being done to intimidate prisoners. we have now raised it with the american courts that they shouldn't be doing this they shouldn't effectively be sexually assaulting the prisoners and it was the government i believe who first started using the term scruton search if you will believe that the they actually admitted doing this sort of thing and it's been done to try to intimidate prisoners out of talking to their lawyers so that unfortunately the truth would not come out of crown tonneau bay but i don't doubt that most of them are resisting jack has been going through this for months and months and months now and i've got a proud moment away in his response to that is when they leave him in his cell he starts singing you know both mali songs new get up stand up for the year rhythmix and the guards to show that he's not to be cowed persons i think that shock is standing up for his rights and the rights of other prisoners prisoners has
