by famine moscow you're watching our to international law marina joshie his revelations shook some of the fundamental bonds between citizens and the state but instead of a nobel prize he's efforts earned him a top place on america's most wanted list once a year to the day since former n.s.a. employee we had what's known landed in russia is asylum next month and it's still not clear what's next for him while his whereabouts remain secret europe is going off looks at how snow to manage to slip through washington's fingers even though the world was watching. 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 a terminal on june twenty third two thousand and thirteen this is where that flight from hong kong with edward snowden on board arrived. these
9:03 am
doors were surrounded by a whole army of journalists with cameras and microphones some were broadcasting the life 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. 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
9:04 am
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 seen 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 us rushed 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 aboard the flight so you know gore you're 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 a watch that the doors of the plane were actually now actually onto the earth strip where we're about to. be and i can tell you with one hundred percent one
9:05 am
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 are still empty so what we thought might be the end of the russian chapter for snowden was actually just the beginning after spending weeks in that transit zone the whistleblower finally received temporary asylum in russia where he used to be but even a year on security and safety concerns me edward snowden is exact whereabouts are still shrouded in secrecy and what it's going to moscow. well remember these have lines american national security agency collecting thousands of e-mails and nearly britain's g c h q got a ties through the privacy walls facebook google and twitter accounts german intelligence used the n.s.a. spying program and so they kept coming piling embarrassment on t.v. united states and britain and their spy programs what was
9:06 am
a wake up call for the rest of us so what new have we learned about our daily routine if you are an american your phone and video calls as well as your e-mails can be routinely intercepted by special services and here's another saying have you trusted your private data with google yahoo or facebook well this means the government has been able to access it to even me a president's one help they will ground your plane if they suspect a whistleblower is on board and that's exactly what happened to believe the leader . press freedom get swept aside. government's reputations are at stake and major u.k. newspaper became the target off police raids for publishing the revelations france do spy on france the n.s.a. had been tapping into germany's angela merkel's phone but embarrassingly for berlin the latest snowden leak shows germany has actually been a launch pad for america's espionage in europe people all over has more and that story over the last twelve months edward snowden's revelations of showing that not
9:07 am
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 on the rock 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 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 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. now former cia officer ray mcgovern believes that no one in the
9:08 am
american government wants the surveillance to stop as all three branches of power are in fact complicit with the n.s.a. 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 who are by all our emails all our telephone calls and not just the message that is so to speak not just the addresses whom they are speaking with and how long but the content to villains 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 it is she is doing and due to cherie they too have become complicit. and if you want to know more about snowden's
9:09 am
escape the events that followed or the revelations that he made had to r.t. dot com. ukrainian and take government fires are accusing the government of violating its own ceasefire with fresh offensive scaife in turn blames the rebels for the failure of the truce as iran cossar reports it's not only the man with guns we've been paying the price artsy he received a video shot from the russian territory near the crane and border that showed at least thirty minutes shelling an area about one kilometer away from the russian border and apparently it was done from the positions of ukrainian national guards and of course in this conflict people continue dying and people with guns are not the only casualties according to ukraine's head of the ukrainian parliament's health committee at least forty children perished as the result of the
9:10 am
committee of action. in eastern ukraine and children die mostly because of shelling and direct gunfire moreover a russian a freight train of was heading into ukraine he was already in the creating the territory when a blast occurred and as a result of fourteen train cars words the rails and another twin blast damaged a nearby track as well and investigators are now working on the see to that sermon who the assailants were and of course their restoring their railway as well now here in donetsk people are already experiencing drinking water shortages but the situation is a lot more a dire in a city all follow gonski which is which haven't seen drinking water for quiet's a long time for a couple of weeks at least and we can see a long queues at least five kilometers long people line out for water and it's a regular occurrence either and this is all leading to an epidemic according to the local officials and of course there is
9:11 am
a shortages of food and electricity supply as well you can see empty shelves in stores and meanwhile the city of slovyansk itself is slowly but surely turning into a ghost town as people are fleeing the shouting and their artillery gunfire. at a national affairs x. but alexander macoris says that what sets the new government in kiev apart is its love of confrontation the consistent practices of the mind and through which this new government in kiev has emerged is to consume confrontation whenever it meets any resistance and tools whenever that resistance grows it used more confrontation and that has been the pattern in the eastern ukraine still i think it would frankly require enormous external pressure on keir for that to change and at the moment there is little sign that. hundreds of refugee camps have sprung
9:12 am
up on russia's border packed with fans of thousands of people fleeing the crane's east confusingly though they are off washington's rater which says a just can't find any proof. in terms of the refugee numbers we've looked into russian reports of large numbers of refugees fleeing russia and i've seen no evidence to we know pretty. clean for. russia sorry to russia and so have seen no evidence to substantiate. a u.n. representative visited one of the temporary camps in southern russia and here's what he said this if you see my 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 when tens of thousands of ukrainian refugees flee across the border it's a problem and to deny it is wrong. even in kiev there is anything but unity of

prayer nationalists have again risen in a spate of new attacks vandalizing buildings and attacking a church read up on their latest street violence on r.t. dot com. while one's foreign minister has been secretly taped comparing his country's relationship with the us to a sexual act and it's washington that's come out on top a polish news magazine claims it's obtain a leaked recording of a diplomat calling the lines with the u.s. worthless and a transcript of the lead details him saying warsaw was giving oral sex to america and return for the illusion of safety and that it's costing poland its relationship whether you are and russia but we go aside as much as discourse told us that something the polish public already understands. let me star in which is obvious far for everyone here in poland for most of the analysts as does the voiced the
9:14 am
opinion which is shared by most of the population here i would like also to add to that because can also work a stocking cap on because for a long time he has been poor percy fearing paul and the american agent of influence so i hope that the part that's of paul and in russia and that france and germany i will at least know that the polish politicians understand the real natural sat relations between us and poland isis militants are tightening their grip on iran taking more cities across the country's northwest while the country's security forces battle to secure control of iraq's largest oil refinery as fuel in the north runs a low. well poultry my language of war but i will only react to situations i have read the reports and like the pollution from a no i will leave them to the state department

the mag it wasn't here national all syria has handed over all of its declare a chemical weapons and that's according to the international monitor and the joint un mission the last to be made in chemicals identified for removal from syria. this afternoon and then to ship our food too. the ship made. the board if. you want is being impatient. supporters of this nation and. the chemical weapons watchdog has received the last one hundred tons of toxic material clearing the way for its destruction at sea this last shipment amounting to roughly eight percent of the total reported by u.n. chemical watchdog have been held in storage by the syrian government this will
9:17 am
fills the agreement signed by the u.s. and russia to destroy syria's chemical weapons. parties office and the west bank is trying to salvage its work after suffering a devastating raid by israeli troops the assault was apparently part of crackdown on local media centers and broader campaign against the palestinian authorities who are being blamed for the kidnap of three israeli teenagers so all of this forced their way into the building used by a transmission company for media where artie's office is also based while they damaged furniture technical equipment and completely destroyed computer hardware troops also confiscated some archive materials and r.t. asked the israeli defense forces for an explanation since the channel is not linked to the work on palestinian media the i.d.f. answers fell somewhat short. well first israel has already said the goal of the raid was the channel which is surprising since the chalice studio is based in
9:18 am
another building so the i.d.f. tried again saying that no they were actually trying to search a t.v. eventually the i.d.f. admitted its operational target was the entire media complex and that's why the staff and library materials were confiscated they have promised to return the equipment but only after examining it for terrorist content the deputy had of our two year arabic told me that israeli forces raids are going too far. it happened after midnight everybody was told i'm the only guard who opened the door of the building then they broke all the doors broke our office which is not accepted accepted told is how they enter our offices break our computers internet connection take whatever they want now. taking prisons small children even the israeli human rights groups accuse them of doing so there's a lot of question marks on the way they're trying to find these conduct people we
9:19 am
are in our part as journalists where we will support every mean to find the truth we will i will say again if that is in the mean if they come and ask us to show them our. we have nothing to hide we show our viewers everything we are ready to show them but it's it's not the way you should ask for that well it's not bring in fact a mob del karim from t.v. i thank you so much for joining us here well you work in the office that was searched and your materials were taken as well and has the i.d.f. promised to return them and also as given you any indication as to when the materials might be returned. unfortunately no not yet and it's kuwait t.v. not caught up t.v. . what happened was a mare by all signs that we see is clearly a way of solving. it is meant to break in and to frighten media
9:20 am
outlets local and international and the break in by all means and not allowing journalists to attend or to cover what was happening is also a sign that this operation specifically was meant sabotaging and destroying material to impede the work of journalists how do they explain their actions to you what do they say why are they seizing these materials. they haven't said anything. they have said it with their actions i would say. the groups the large troops of the israeli soldiers who were there included intelligence included israeli intelligence and security guards or border guards border police which is
9:21 am
a very big sign for any banker or palestinian who would see them that would know this is not just a small operation a small scale operation this is something that is meant for different reasons. a few days before the attacked our offices at media they were they had a top offices nearby offices or a new for another. news outlet in ramallah very close to our offices and they confiscated equipment and closed it down but they had a clear written decision on them which which was pursued and followed and even though it was altogether an illegal act it was still aimed. at targeted in a very in a very minimal way i mean at least there were minimal sabotage fights about you
9:22 am
know not the question i want to was to ask you different there were no documents whatsoever ok sorry for interrupting you i just want to ask him if there is a way at all that the media outlets can protect themselves from raids like that i mean what can be done is there a way or not and also does he. have a right to search me out was like this and raid them without warrant. i'm afraid i'm afraid to say there is nothing much to be done this is a this is a risk that we as journalists take upon ourselves what what should be done is for israel to respect and honor international agreements and of course ethics. of agreeing on journalist rules but.
9:23 am
be part of. be part of the protection asking the israelis in fact to be part of the protection team for the palestinian journalists is really a far fetched it's not going to be at all an easy procedure for us to expect good treatment from the israeli army. we have been quite used to. being roughed up by israeli forces all along whatever they may doing they may be doing checkpoints during clashes or even are. they they ban us from from freedom of movement they restrict our freedom of movement even as journalists and this is just part of a larger policy that says. basically prosody internal lists of journalists working in palestine. are going to be having a hard time to say the least in the most diplomatic terms but in fact saddam are
9:24 am
running out of time this is the way we see it is it's there yes thank you so much though for sharing your concerns with us here at your national and that was for karim from kuwait t.v. . well the u.s. secretary of state is urging iraqi leaders to waste no time in forming a more inclusive government john kerry is on a surprise visit to baghdad america has already sent military advisers to help the country's army to quell the isis fires and the latest wave of violence there at least so many prisoners were killed by jihad as they attack a police convoy near the capital isis has also seized the strategic shia majority town of tal afar and now controls the airports hundreds of iraqi soldiers according to prime minister maliki have died at the hands of insurgents who say government reports now on the sectarian divisions tearing the country apart.
9:25 am
the march on baghdad for now on hold instead of just hottest fighters tightened their 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 kurdish capital the city is just sixty kilometers from the isis front line but it downtown erbil it was business as usual kurdistan has often felt like a separate country altogether you got the height of iraq's most violence and bloodiest moments now with the current crisis threading 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 hardest would dare march on them. but on the other i have full faith in the forces we won lets
9:26 am
anything happen. for some the prospect of a divided iraq was a welcome one do you think that iraq will remain a one country as we know it's after this crisis maybe we should maybe that iraq will have to be divided we'll have an area and the sunnis and shias will have there is no one in kurdistan is worried we have oil we have a strong army. they may help or oil 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 some of 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. or seen entering
9:27 am
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 guarding the 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 the outbreak of the u.s. led invasion back in two thousand and three and although there are shortages here in erbil parts of northern iraq have run out of gas going on the black market and so people are stocking up they say that they don't know what the future will bring and the fear is 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 argument is that because we're scared of shelling from the iraqi army. and it's not just a nice fleeing the violence we encountered shia refugees to thought. donzy job or came here six days ago from baghdad in baghdad the situation has gone from bad to
9:28 am
worse and people are arming themselves and getting ready to fight one another all they see in the future is bloodshed and violence if something doesn't change iraq will be a country of orphans and with all those who see caffein of erbil iraq and up next are to international as cross talking to you cato it's a documentary about nazi master of lies. his name was joseph goebbels he was nazi germany's minister of propaganda the mist that he created exist to this day. it was google's propaganda it was posing actually trying to denigrate other nations while at the same time raising ordinary german self-esteem the school would. keep
9:29 am
its use of go bill sniff precisely what the masses need to hear in order to make them follow him he was like the pied piper from the fairy tale who made the rats fall to the tune of the spite of. the myths created by the chief nazi ideologist bound for town saw in the west we have to fight these myths today in memory of those who was in the second world war. i tried to. pull out of. your life or just your preaching everybody. somehow. know what.
