4:01 am
i welcome you with r.t. international now here's a man who's changed the vision of the world and he's among america's most wanted this day a year ago former n.s.a. employee edward snowden landed in russia his asylum ends next month and it's still not clear what is next for him but for now his whereabouts shrouded in mystery as he's worried that the white house won't let him go so easily r.t. as your piece kind of looks at how he managed to slip through washington sphinx. c.n.n. now has the word that edward snowden has left hong kong there are many questions about why snowden is able to stay one step ahead of american authorities snowden is reported to be on a flight to moscow in the arrivals hall of moscow's airport sector
4:02 am
a terminal on june twenty third two thousand and thirteen this is where that flight from hong kong with edward snowden on board. these doors were surrounded by a whole army of journalists with cameras and microphones some broadcasting live pictures of everything that was going on here but when the last passenger finally came out and there was still no sign of them became clear the next most probable place there could be if not here then inside the transit zone. the american whistleblower edward snowden is thought to be in moscow airport it looks like snowden is spending the night in the transit area of moscow's sheremetyevo airport but all indications are that is about one hundred meters away from where i'm standing in this whole place was swarming with journalists photographers t.v. radio press agencies you name it and everyone was looking for snowden everywhere in every corner in every bathroom in v.a.p.
4:03 am
rooms even under seats but no one could find him but soon information quickly spread that it was inside the capsule hotel right here in the transit zone that the former n.s.a. contractor was in. this capsule hotel is really only called capsule because in reality these or almost like regular rooms just in a regular hotel there is a decent bathroom here and the beds and even a t.v. set just no window that's pretty much the only difference the plans that no one guest in the end it became known that snowden and his advisor had been checked in for a flight to cuba so naturally dozens of russia to get on that flight some even coughed up the cash for business class exclusive interview once again the former. contractor. let's cross out artist who is a board the flight so your joining us by phone tell us what you can see on the plane is snowed in there or is there no sign of a. remarkable just the tools of the plane
4:04 am
we're actually now actually. we're about to. show you what one hundred. one hundred fifty percent. not on this plane the plane packed with journalists took off with the two seats allegedly built for snowden and his advisors still so what we thought might be the end of the russian chapter for snowden was actually just the beginning after spending weeks in the transit zone finally received temporary asylum in russia where he used to be but even a year on security and safety concerns mean exact whereabouts or still shrouded in secrecy he was going to moscow. but america's national security agency has been collecting thousands of e-mails annually britain's spied on every face book and twitter user and german intelligence use the n.s.a. spy program these are just
4:05 am
a few of the headlines that have hit the media since edward snowden leaked documents of the u.s. u.k. spy program well his revelations left the world shocked and events throughout the year have brought some peculiar facts to our attention if you're an american citizen for example your phone and video calls as well as your e-mails could be retaining intercepted by special services here's another thing have you trusted your private data with google yahoo or facebook well they are sharing it with the government and even being a president won't help they will ground your plane over suspicions you have a whistleblower on board in fact that's what happened to believe in leader even mandalas freedom of press is nothing when it comes to a scandal of such proportions either i'm a. you can use paper became the target of a police raid for publishing the revelations and friends do spy on friends the n.s.a. has been tapping into germany's angela merkel's phone and that's not all the latest leak from snowden shows germany has actually been
4:06 am
a launch pad for america's espionage in europe artie's peter all of as the details on that story over the last twelve months edward snowden's revelations of showing that not only is germany at the very heart of the n.s.a. surveillance program but that the germans themselves are among the most spied on and listened to in the world with millions of data connections being tracked putting them alongside the likes of afghanistan and iraq and it's not just those suspected of having committed a crime that is being snooped on here at the german chancellor rhee there was a breach of security when it was revealed that angle america's private cell phone is being listened in to by the americans prompting a few angry phone calls and general all round embarrassment it now seems unlikely there will be a full investigation into what went on leaked n.s.a. documents talk about an intimate relationship between the german and us government
4:07 am
something which is upset people here because they fear they'll never find out the true scope of the snooping that went on and how involved germany was in spying on its own people. well former cia officer ray mcgovern believes that no one in the american government wants the surveillance to stop as all three branches of power are in fact complicit with the n.s.a. . what is changed is that all american citizens who are willing to be informed and do not wish to remain in denial realize that a very very draconian dragnet type operation is being worked on them whereby all our emails all our telephone calls and not just the message that is so to speak not just the addresses whom they're speaking with and how long but the content it's all being who cried out and stored in case they want to find
4:08 am
something against you the surveillance continues because in a very odd way all three branches of our government are complicit the executive branch which runs the n.s.a. the legislative branch congress which approved what she is doing and do dishes every day to have become complicit. but if you want to know more about snowden's escape the events that followed it all the revelations that he made you can log on to our website at our team don't call me all the information is there for you and it is just a click away. another used a trackside explosion has derailed a russian fright trying in eastern ukraine within minutes a second blast rocked and they bypassed the track no injuries have been reported but several train routes have now been claimed just. as the time. well the information as to who the salience war is still available however we do know that no one was heard tell us a little fourteen cars have been derailed and the service crews are now working on
4:09 am
restoring the track another blasted damage to a nearby railway as well and investigation as to what is happening is now underway now this is happening on the back call for a cease fire however that cease fire has been violated by both sides as they continue shooting at each other we are at sea received a video apparently all foreign are heavy artillery fire taken place near the russian border the shouting lasted for about thirty minutes and reported it came from the positions of ukraine's national guards and of course the minutes are a crackdown is definite taking its toll on the inside our region here in eastern ukraine people are experiencing water shortages here in donetsk meanwhile the nearby city of slovyansk which was say hit the hardest by this so-called
4:10 am
anti-terrorist operation wall that place is now heading for a humanitarian catastrophe water is long gone over there they haven't had it for weeks and so is an extra supply and food as well now seems like five kilometers to use to have the water disperse freeze have become a regular occurrence there it was a letdown because there is no drinking water the city officials are saying that's why council is heading for an epidemic meanwhile the city is now turning into a ghost town as well as residents are fleeing the shelling by the ukrainian army the crisis in ukraine has triggered tens of thousands of people to show seek shelter in russia however washington has expressed that there is a massive fly a refugees across the border. in terms of the refugee numbers we've looked into russian reports of large numbers of refugees fleeing russia and you see no evidence to. prove. fleeing for fleeing to russia sorry
4:11 am
going to russia and said see no evidence to substantiate. what our u.n. representative visited a temporary camp in southern russia here's what he said. is if you see my original despite what anyone says the fact that the person is forced to leave his home his native country is a huge problem so they didn't come here as tourists to say there is no such problem as a floor for a few g.'s is wrong. and alleged risky statement of poland being a servant of the us might be about to leave the country's foreign minister red faced polish news magazine says it's obtained a leaked recording of the diplomat calling poland's alliance with the us worthless a transcript of the leaks suggests you also used much stronger language to describe how he feels about his country's relationship with america well there has been no official response to the article but charles mcgrath the founder of the wide awake
4:12 am
news believes poland's leaders have good reason to think that way. the best example i could say there is you know it creates this false sense of security because you have the united states around you look at iraq look at iraq right now after a decade of prosecuting a war on terror and leaving allegedly beat it with this stable government. for the iraqi people it's a complete and utter mess again we help be stabilized with our taxpayer dollars elected government of ukraine and europe past to now sit and be concerned about their energy future because you have russian pipelines that are being blown up so you know i really do think that you know these candid words were caught really telling to what the people will be what the so-called leadership in poland is worried about. coming up later in the program the iraqi army keeps losing ground this jihadist to their advance to the west of the country taking control of four more times border checkpoints report on the collapsing states also coming up we

4:14 am
not the door was heavy metal and computers and disks have been cut. for skated all of this has resulted in a conversation between us in the i.d.f. where we are asked them what was all of this about now they responded initially by saying nothing the raid was against the al aqsa channel and now we've been pointed out that that was actually housed in another building to which the idea for spawn did well in that case the raid was against could stevie our follow up question then was so why have you confiscated r t arab equipment which the i.d.f. responded that they had to since the operation targeted the whole complex now these confiscations form part of what is being called operation brothers keeper it is an operation that is intended to risk youth three israeli teenagers who were kidnapped some ten days ago the dip he hid of r.t. arabic has said that the i.d.f. in the event acts without any kind of documentation that proves that whoever it is
4:15 am
raiding is in fact affiliated with terrorists that when he asked where if there was proof that r.t. in fact that's affiliated with any party that proves it was very short in coming but i can tell him now where is the intelligence that you have got to prove that r.t. was somehow or related to any political movement the i.d.f. has said that if after the examination of the disks and equipment that it has confiscated it is clear that there is no terror related content in the equipment will be returned to r.t. arabic. well thanks for watching r.t. international today we're going to take a quick break now i'll be back with more news in a couple minutes. this

hello again in iraq jihadists from the so-called islamic state of iraq and syria group or isis have managed to take over much of the country's western border this is a report from human rights watch she jest these amish are using children to carry out suicide missions the document also says some children are used to snipers i mean ition carriers and even human shields reports now and isak tearing division tearing the country apart. and. the march on baghdad for now on hold instead of just harvest fighters tech until grip on western iraq this weekend's gains three border crossings into syria and jordan and for nearby towns territory now for only in the hands of insurgents from the islamic state in iraq and syria. despite the chaos spreading across the country and eerie calm in the
4:18 am
kurdish capital the city is just sixty kilometers from the isis front line but it downtown there bill it was business as usual kurdistan has often felt like a separate country altogether even at the height of iraq's most violence and bloodiest moments now but the current crisis treading the country to pieces it's closer than ever to becoming one kurdish soldiers are now in control of territory that used to be disputed but no one here seems to think that just harvest would dare march on them. but i have full faith in the forces we won lets anything happen. for some the prospect of a divided iraq was a welcome one do you think that iraq or a major one country as we know it's after this crisis may be as good maybe that iraq will have to be divided will have area and the sunnis and shias will have there is no one in kurdistan is worried we have oil we have
4:19 am
a. well now me that's why. they may help or will but fuel is running scarce for days now iraqi forces battled with isis for control of the country's largest oil refinery this is one of the first things you notice here in erbil these massive gas lines sell the cars have been here for hours since the morning many people in fact camped out overnight to try to get online so they can get gas frustrated residents line up to get their share authorities have limited each individual to thirty leaders that's less than what it takes to fill two tanks. were seen entering their newly purchased supply into containers in order to go back for more it's a very unusual situation where it's kurdish police officers starting to gas stations here just to prevent fights and conflict from breaking out the people we've spoken to said there haven't been lines like this for fuel since big outbreak of the u.s. led invasion back in two thousand and three and although there are shortages here
4:20 am
in erbil parts of northern iraq have run out of gas even on the black market and so people are stocking up they say that they don't know what will bring the fear for the go a lot worse before it gets better. that's a sentiment we heard from many here this man fled the sunni dominated and our province it's not ice is that he was afraid of that again making it less because we're scared of shelling from the iraqi army. is and it's not just a nice fleeing the violence we encountered shia refugees to october job or came here six days ago from baghdad i mean baghdad the situation has gone from bad to worse is and people are arming themselves in the head and i'm ready to fight one another notch them on all they see in the future is bloodshed and violence if something doesn't change iraq will be a country of orphans and i don't like to see caffein over erbil iraq. meanwhile the u.s. secretary of state has arrived in iraq that after america sent military advisers to
4:21 am

4:22 am
captured a runaway soldier who killed five of his comrades and injured seven more on saturday the incident happened at a border post with north korea the sergeant then fled the scene and was cornered in a nearby woodland was captured while trying to commit suicide and taken to hospital . islamists from the militant group boko haram have reportedly raided two villages in nigeria killing at least ten people eyewitnesses say they first went on a shooting spree and then chased fleeing residents. which seeks to establish an islamic state has repeatedly targeted civilians and security forces killing hundreds the group still holds over two hundred girls captive who were ducted. might be easy to get lost when traveling but more worrying is falling foul of a country's laws while on a trip especially when it comes to legislation or even the local seem to know about . reports now from france imagine walking through
4:23 am
a train station with your headphones on minding your own business and suddenly you're slapped with a three hundred seventy five euro fine because someone decided your music was too loud well that actually happened in france where twenty first century reality meets the legislation of the year the country's state's own trail way company justified itself with a nine hundred forty two law which forbids any person from using in train cars awaiting groups on platforms or in train stations sound making devices or instruments to get people to understand fining someone from a cigarette or a chewing gum but someone with headphones i don't see how it bothers anyone just. the person wants to listen to their music they have a right to according to me i think it is strange that we find someone who is listening to music i listen to music all the time i find with strange you. get all of us to be picking our nose at the train station and they will find us they will make us pay you scratch your bum you will have to pay france is this way now
4:24 am
reducing civil liberties step by step. so exactly what else is forbidden in france . name in the pagan the polian. kissing on the railways what is legal however is getting divorced because your partner smokes too much or is a little too obsessed play football and it's even legal for french parents to prevent their adult children from getting married. i think that sense at the time when it was created but nowadays it could be interpreted in a completely different way depending on the person who finds you i think we need to review and adapt to the now. puts you under the years women in france had to wear skirts or dresses if they wanted to be law abiding citizens they were only allowed to wear trousers if they were holding the reins of a horse or a bicycle handlebar well that law was scrapped last year so there is hope for the presidential system or eventually i'm sure the twenty first century but in the
4:25 am
meantime if you plan to calm here bearing in mind that you might end up breaking the law without even knowing it's going to cost of our reporter from paris for our thing and it's not only france where there are some order always in saudi arabia for example you can get married no matter how old you are you certainly don't want to step on money in thailand because you just might offend the king there and samoans know how to keep a marriage strong they made it illegal to forget your wife's birthday and last but not least don't go kissing in public if you haven't missed our studies in fact illegal in the u.s. state of iowa. it with an international on back with more news about huff and i's time up next that we look at the biography of the mastermind of nazi ideology during world war two.
4:26 am
some people say freedom isn't free and they're right in fact freedom may only cost the price of a bottle of water or an old t. shirt fans celebrating the recent victory of the l.a. kings noticed that they were not alone what was believed to be a police drone was flying over them filming them either out of moral contempt for drones or just for the hell of it the crowd began to throw random objects out until it was brought down i think this event makes two very big points firstly a lot of the surveillance state is not that hard to stop i mean there are satellite photos being taken of us all the time and n.s.a. spying on a communications but any camera or other device been throwing distance of a brick is at the mercy of us tonight you know one percent and secondly generally if a crowd of people does something few ever get punished i mean if this drone was actually a police drone would they try to lock up the entire crowd for breaking it no they
4:27 am
wouldn't and they could and for some reason if one person commits an act of civil disobedience they are in for it but if a crowd does that they generally get away with it so if you're going to defend your right to privacy from drones bring fifty guys with you and everything will work out just fine but that's just my opinion. alive repeated a thousand times becomes the truth the man who said that even proved it the lie
4:28 am
became part of himself and the system he served his name was use of copus he was nazi germany's minister of propaganda the myth that he created exists to this day. about. these are the children of joseph good business. several years after this picture was taken the third reich sprint's of all ideologies decided to sacrifice their lives here then he did so after realizing that all of his media wars had been last night. from the diary of dr joseph campbell june sixteenth nineteen forty one. if we win who will question our methods as it is we have so much to answer for already that's we must win otherwise we those who are the head of all that we hold dear will be eradicated so to work.
