eavesdrop on the conversations of thirty five world leaders well european council has issued a statement warning that a lack of trust with washington could damage cooperation and intelligence gathering on top of that germany has decided to team up with brazil which was also targeted by the n.s.a. to push for a u.n. resolution restraining u.s. surveillance r.t.s. are silly as more on the story. the latest document that edward snowden there provided the guardian we do see some some more insight into the process of how this global surveillance was actually working and the fact that it had spied on the thirty five world leaders is one side of the matter on the other hand it would also encourage a senior officials belonging to departments such as the white house the state department or the pentagon to share their contacts with them encouraging them to give the phone numbers of these people that they wanted to spy on and put them on this surveillance list and also what's interesting that came out of this document is also the fact that it was a knowledge that the eavesdropping the listening in on these hundreds of people of

thirty five world leaders actually did not produce much it produced quote unquote little reportable intelligence and also it's had some very real consequences already going up to the legislative level in the e.u. for example with the parliament backing new rules to restrict the flow of data to the united states and also any piece now calling for a suspension of a u.s. bank deal talks and chancellor merkel is spawning on france cannot be tolerated after reports of u.s. eavesdropping on her phone calls editor of politics a coder u.k. says he's expecting a major backlash from the e.u. responding to some very very tough rhetoric from the e.u. commission which is not prone to issue a tough rhetoric or things considered usually it speaks of the sort of diplomacy now it's using a much more robust language just actually has come. and while that commotion hates

british prime minister david cameron is staying conspicuously silent some reports suggest he was pressured into signing an e.u. statement expressing deep concern over u.s. surveillance but chancellor merkel has said cameron continues to support the n.s.a.'s activities. as the prime minister stance is not surprising. the u.k. is essentially indistinguishable from the u.s. and certainly do see h.q. works in partnership with the n.s.a. perhaps more of the sort of subservience incorporated partner. but nevertheless there's really no point trying to distinguish them while the reason that london is being very quiet is because london has its own secrets which will probably come out in the laundry over the next three weeks the spy the e.u. expressing its growing discontent with washington skeptics say these concerns are unlikely to go beyond formal statements u.n. diplomat a lot of the news earlier explain why. few weeks after the media

toned down the big issue it will just go on and business as usual that is my expectations there are not that big and the real national stage will remain states for mental public opinion and news just in here in our spain has summoned the u.s. ambassador over the latest allegations of n.s.a. eavesdropping and we're closely following of course the spying fallout over in our website r t v dot com was detailed updates and analysis will bring you more as we get them. immigration is another issue it's had a summit in brussels hundreds of africans drought in the mediterranean sea earlier this month trying to reach european shores in overcrowded boats governments in southern europe are demanding more help from the rest of the e.u. to cope with an inflow of migrants are just peed all over america some of the people who fled their home once. we have feed we are not anymore we have feeling we
