renowned american intellectual chomsky talks to us here about what's driving global politics and the controversial role of the u.s. . international news life for most purposes altie with me you know thanks for joining us the father of n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden has arrived in moscow in the hope of seeing his son for the first time since russia granted him asylum edward snowden is staying at an undisclosed location reportedly under heavy screen security. was among the first to speak to long snowden about his plans during his first ever visit to russia. two waiting for him right at the entrance to the v.a.b. a launch off the airport where we're standing now this is his first time in russia of course i had to ask him what's the plan for the first city office visit i mr

coote arenas guest and i am very thankful for his hospitality and. i am going to follow mr coo trainers advice and that will determine where my day leaches and if the opportunity presents itself i certainly hope that i'll have an opportunity to see my son clearly mr snowden leaning on. this name a lawyer who's been representing and counseling his son edward here in russia he did to say that he's hoping to meet him but apparently even he right now doesn't know whether or not that will be possible not to mention the why and the where since the only thing we know about edward snowden's location is that he's somewhere in a safe area in a safe place in russia son's father did. to come to moscow in august there's a lot of speculation over why that didn't happen including for security reasons he

son edward snowden the former n.s.a. contractor arrives to the transit zone also to me it's about airport in june he's wanted in the u.s. after a leaking thousands of documents were providing the details of how us services spy on officials and ordinary people all across the world he was granted temporary asylum by a russian officials but now as we've also heard from his father even his family is not sure whether or not he'll ever be able to come back to the u.s. . and some my news just saying that not only could two rana has been providing counsel to edward snowden said the whistleblower will soon be able to reunite with his father. called the norman how this story is developing. and right now an update on our other developing story libyan prime minister ali is a done it has been kidnapped by armed militants in tripoli although some

conflicting reports suggest he was actually arrested by governmental anti crime forces but true to his form of the stories here now. well the latest report is that a rebel group has said that they are responsible for the kidnapping of a prime minister in mentality ations the libyan role in this u.s. raid in libya which took. libya he was supposed to be an al qaeda suspect this raid happened on saturday u.s. special forces basically took the man it's implemented in one thousand nine hundred eight bombing all the u.s. embassies in kenya and tanzania which killed two hundred twenty four people there were reports. that was involved he himself however on tuesday condemned be us saying that libyans should be tried in their own countries but it's very much sort of really blasting american saying that it wouldn't actually harm us libyan

relations or the other report how that which conflicts with that is that he was in fact kidnapped by armed groups he was taken earlier on today in the corinthian hotel in tripoli by armed by armed men i mean when it's on the scene he said it looked more like an arrest as there was no violence and the government has said it where he is he was taken to an on the closed location now off to the u.s. special forces raid on saturday there was a huge backlash from is going to spread its groups in libya who said that they wanted to stage some form of retaliation for the behavior of the u.s. in that country had threatened several attacks and quite lines for example. if this is part of bad islamic militants crash on the u.s. raid but we haven't got any confirmation yet it's we're going to keep watching this story in the coming hours. so there are conflicting reports about the libyan prime minister's disappearance let's not discuss this more with a german journalist and writer who's been following the story. see the interior

ministry claims it was and i read just why don't we know where the prime minister is being held. so well first of all these units are not surprising at all. we still talk about u b i like an existing state when we listen to the new was that history says it was and the rest of the groups a group say it was a kidnapping so we have we have to take into account that u.b.s. is this integrated state that sent this integrated area and when we talk about many streets we talk about something else then if we talk about ministries in existing state it's all in states with with the state so it's not surprising at all that we get those confusing us by the way these are not the first confusing and you'll see we see from libya since the so-called revolution. just about attention went away from libya within the last month and went to syria but. we see that there is

a country a disintegrated country controlled by horrible is controlled by those gangs with the biggest guns so it dual the government politics and what they do and it's confusing for us of course so i'm not surprised at all i'm all right so we have a report that that was and i read and also i rebel group claims that it was a kidnapping as you say if you had to guess what do you think has happened to the prime minister. maybe maybe there is there is no conflict between an arrest and the kidnapping because we don't know who is now a version for the interior ministry if we go two years back and if we see who we are the ground troops of the nato air force and the press. and the french military blowing away the government we see that these games that these jihad these that

these crimean violent acts and the skanks are to day in great to in this called libyan government with this heat just. when examples out there like how much but she hockey with with strong links to chi it became military commander of. libyan capital and he is no politician in newgate sorry. to say the so-called advice off the west but the problem who is who is useful in. in such politics so you kind of resigned on those advice and this is maybe the lesson the west receives now and maybe see now that the really lucian eats its children by the kidnapping of. been prime minister right and if the rebels are behind abduction why is the prime minister at a time get that. when we go back when we go back two years we have to see what role

the prime minister plate at the time of this because you can revolution the prime minister will say look he could in europe he was heading for opposite the libyan group and she was the one by the way who was doing a lot at french at the time of the french president nicolas sarkozy for a military action against the libyan government so he was in europe the poster boy of libyan revolution my space with the fact that on the ground are fighting terrorists type of guy screaming the gangs. maybe maybe there is now an inner conflict between those gangs and those poster boy so for the revolution and of course there are many conflicts it's fun it's about corruption it's also about the interests and the country with with natural resources so

a lot of groups claim their interests of benefit so i think there are many conflicts we don't see now at the surface which might play a role in this also. german journalist money oxon right thank you so much indeed for your time thank you if you. don't go and u.s. government shutdown caused by wrangling over the bunch and how it's been affecting foreign policy with president obama his four nation asian tour last time today secretary of state john kerry warns that the u.s. won't be able to sustain its goals abroad if the deadlock continues oh he is and he said now is spoke to one of america's most prominent political analysts and linguists noam chomsky who broke down what he say's as they shortcomings of u.s. foreign policy. norm chomsky am i on the faculty at mit and i'm. getting more heavily involved now they were activities for the last few years i

think are writer linguists cognitive scientists and non-conformist for decades. like the recent very very serious defects flaws in their. church officials. chomsky's work that goes well beyond the walls of the massachusetts institute of technology the author of over a hundred books has long been debating the other side of us foreign policy and it is going to said i'll see some special interest in certain places side of most whenever i hear stuff the press responded by just a few straightforward. powerful let's just say get over it because. we want to read we have for sure the world but for the present chomsky invited our two to sit down with him in boston to discuss some of today's pressing global it seems they began with iran and hopes of a new u.s. policy scheme is pessimistic last december there was supposed to

be an international conference in finland. carry forward a longstanding efforts to establish. zone free of nuclear weapons or weapons of mass destruction in the middle east didn't happen first lit up with israel announced they wouldn't participate but then there was waiting to see what was interesting was where did she would it around with your answer that they would participate with no condition immediately obama called off the comfort. giving the reasons which are the official israeli reason can't have a conference until this regional settlement of course in the background there can be a regional peace settlement until the us and israel stop blocking the international consensus on israel palestine agreement which they're doing have been thirty years

so no meeting people in the united states have done very almost nothing about it for a very simple reason not a word about this is appeared in the american press literally you can read about it in arms control journals are international affairs struggles are and articles that i write things on the fridge with the presses so i know about it so no pressure on syria chomsky says getting rid of chemical weapons is a good first step but not enough great opportunities are being missed during chemical weapons are not there just for fun they were there as a counter it was really. israel's going. nuclear. so there's a broader issue goes back to the question of weapons of mass destruction pretty soon in the middle east which the us is blocking for the same reason so this is

a partial. it's good in itself but very forceful on the broader opportunities are not being pursued we also talked about one of the most pursued men in the world chomsky doesn't buy edward snowden is a threat to u.s. national security and security is almost always relevant but its security of the government from its own population that's the security concern genuine security like security of the population. and very low. and drones according to chomsky are a direct threat to america. the groom point moves were horrible we were. never right that we were rude furthermore it's very hurtful generally. from the highest level of truth. ricky to growth

create with control. thank you very much for your time for inviting us to your office here and my team that with noam chomsky and i mean it's in our way for our team. gave also you plenty moving aside into how the u.s.o. parades domestically and abroad so make sure you noble to our website. for them to be. coming out of this our time to troll the sanctions western companies look to exploit any thought between washington and tehran by moving into iran's markets and hopes of a lifting of tough restrictions against iran that story in a few mom. i think united states is in discussion with just on sort of by the two security agreement which would. mandate and allow for

a significant number of u.s. troops to be damed in six to seven bases that are being prepared for them to to use you in two thousand and fourteen they would obviously have a very restricted operation mandate but they would still be there for purposes of training and perhaps to some kind of got into and just to the security forces who are on the stand and so. choose your language. if we could i would want to steal some of. it's going. to. be great. the story is that in the. truest sense.

this is anti coming to life for most go welcome back in a show of optimism the greed government's drug budget is assuming they call them it will slowly start to pick up next year but there are many who doubt greece will return to got to growth so soon with unemployment expected to remain high the forecast for october promises a new record with around twenty eight percent of gregg's childless thousands of workers are a threat from the authorities cost cutting drive as always and your family report. there was a time when the bay of the just north of athens could only support a small fishing community but the arrival of the lark a smelting plant on its banks changed all that i employing a thousand strong workforce for decades however its days could now be numbered the government is considering closing it as part of radical cutbacks and workers turn

up fearing what lies ahead. now by any worker imagine his future without work i live here i was raised here my grandfather worked here so how can i imagine my future without this plant. largo's commercial manager gave me a tall amid the grime and flames he pointed out the plant is among the biggest and most modern in europe a recent slump in profits he says is the result of a short term plunge in the price of nickel and the government's doubling of the price of electricity closure in his eyes is not an option he wants privatization it is money making machine that when you use. one so you put it all together no government is good. business but.

that. we want to be right. but we want it to be forever does the good way then as it is. the greek government has tough choices to make to meet i.m.f. bailout conditions it has to x. four thousand public sector jobs and reduce the salaries of twenty five thousand more by the end of the year in the meantime work is that large you have rallied and handed their own plan to be i.m.f. the day believe is wrong to question the plants viability. or the we can prove the i.m.f. is wrong this factory is profitable and has a future and we have made a plan to counter the lies and tell the truth. the future of this plant will also determine the fate of the surrounding economy and that's because around twenty thousand people are employed in industries to leave the supply or services including this support disappears those jobs. across the

water the people of low remain quietly go back their business model only has lark created jobs spawned a community generations have lived and worked here the burning question is for how much longer andrew farmer r.t. . in the lecture given in london hungary and prime minister viktor orban criticized for losing its optimism confidence and lacking a clear image of the future he called on member nations to push forward with their own policies while praising the way his own country has reformed laurus may have asked him why he was speaking out against brussels. when victor hungary controversal prime minister gave a talk at chatham house in frogs of journalists and members of the institute he started his new mexico on i am gary and he's that we have a unique and we've produced more history that we could possibly manage he started

by telling the story of hungary's relationship with the european union. unattainable land of promise opportunity but increasingly he said hungary and see a european union which is on the city and unclear where it's going in the future politically that hungary still has very positive feelings about being a member of european union but which opens up an opportunity for renewal and regeneration of the institutions in this country soon he says that things cannot go order as they are neglecting the differences between the e.u. countries he was very clear about saying no one here is a member should have the right to dictate their own economic policy with three of. the all the g. and a good knowledge the diversity between them this concept of patriotism and nationhood still exist inside the european union when i told him about the risk

that the feeling almost just brings to this policy with regards to you know you came. out first by ruffled the political and economic integration he was very clear about his own political eyes the nation in the modern good instrument rated to success. if angry view of the successful country to be not isolated if you free everything it's all bad news day that his push to politically differentiate hungary from the rest of europe is an experiment in the forestry and hungry that including her still think it's more of. a let's now check some other stories making news around the globe this hour and first let's go to china china has closed dozens of zoos and parks as a deals with flooding the amount of rain was the highest in a single day for hoffa's century thanks to typhoon rose and houses were inundated and the storm caused rivers to burst their banks and also power failures schools

and factories have been suspended and some residents have nothing to eat and drink at least eleven million people across china have been. a fractured. and berlin has gone through a darkling transformation a festival of light in the german capital has illuminated its most famous landmarks buildings streets and squares international and local gas is gathered for the annual event which is taking place for the ninth time the festival has become part of the international illumination a circuit alongside displays and leone sydney and bought. it ran on the you as recently signalled a saw in political relations and many now are hoping that in easing of the tough sanctions against iran could follow now but one area that is thriving regardless is iran's automobile industry and iran produces one point six million vehicles a year making of these thirteen of the biggest common

a fracture in the world the industry accounts for ten percent of the country's g.d.p. despite a ban on shipping parts some of the most popular are enormous rules are still made in iran and the country produces its own cars based on french designs not official business as possible between the u.s. and iran there until sanctions are lifted but american companies like auto maker general motors are already moving in to secure their positions there and sure broon or a drug for the french love figure our newspaper has been closely following the industry believes the u.s. is preparing the ground to take over iran's markets. i think already there of been some secret contacts between u.s. firms and iranian counterparts in order to to prepare or to anticipate a political deal between iran and the united states mainly these contacts of kurds

in the automobile sector and fortunately for us in france we are the brother the last one in europe to try to to to go to iran because for the last the last years france was extremely active in the in the fighting against the iran war from syria is exerting a lot of pressures you know for the last twenty years the u.s. where outside from iran and the the french businessmen quite good position in iran to pose or knowing the put them in what will be the secular and now they're afraid that these all these years of the force will be cleaned by the new deal which will happen between us and iran for sure that the european companies will be most probably losers in this kind of agreement. as always have got plenty more stories for you online and here's a look at what you can find out right now i think a washed out find the controversial out of telling migrants to go face arrest

admitted it was misleading but they did not complain and it is offensive and even racist the full story is online. underestimate complaining and i don't know his employee was detained after interrupting a speech by the fast food giant but also to complain about low wages at our website on t. dot com. and coming up right after the break i'll see is james brown finds it tough proving and yes proving he's man enough to join russia commanders in training.

you know it's getting old trying to beat the war drums to invade iran i think the let's invade iran talk has been going on since i was in college to keep the saber rattling rolling israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu declared in front of the un that iran is building nuclear weapons that could hit new york in three to four years no he said new york obviously he was trying to spook a certain country with nuclear destruction the delegates from namibia were probably moved simply this time netanyahu failed to bring a funny cartoon bomb picture with him like in his two thousand and twelve un speech in which he also warned the world about the threat of a nuclear iran you know i might be more optimistic about israel accusing other countries of being nuclear threats if they had a better track record themselves although israel is a bit candid with their arsenal according to a b.b.c. article the federation of american scientists believes that israel's arsenal has. grown to about two hundred nukes based on their surveillance of ever expanding facilities inside the country also let's not forget that israel has plenty of ways to deliver those two hundred nuclear bombs if the need be so my question is why

should we automatically trust israel with a lot of nuclear weapons but not iran is it because they are bureaucrats where european suits and shave i don't know it just seems to me that disarmed countries are better advocates for nuclear disarmament but that's just my opinion. right on the scene. first strike. and i would think that you're. on our reporters twitter. and instagram. to be in the. lead. the russian parachute regiment is nobody but us. they will push

you harder than you've ever been pushed in your life. they say once upon ways of. the many of the conscripts like the reminder. that's all. you see you're one of us now. dress right. dress right there the tension. hand to hand combat many of us on my count by division yeah i won. three. for my new regiment another a c.c. is heavily.
