what you are here a national coming to life for moscow with me 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 it's a year to the day since former n.s.a. employee edward snowden landed in russia is asylum man's next month and it's still not clear what's next for him while his whereabouts remain secret work is going off looks at how snowden managed 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 sheremetyevo 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 doors were surrounded by a whole army of journalists with cameras and microphones broadcasting the life pictures of everything that was going on in 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 all the indications are that he's about one hundred meters away from where i'm standing it 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 former n.s.a. contractor was in. so as all this chaos was happening outside the hotel most wakely edward snowden was sitting in one of these rooms planning his further actions the plans that no one guessed 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 hoping for an exclusive interview but once again the former n.s.a. contractor. let's cross now to our to who is aboard the flight so you're 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 walk to the doors of the plane who actually know what's actually in. the air

strip where we're about to. be and i can tell you with one hundred percent one hundred fifty percent. not on this plane the plane packed with journalists took off with the two seats allegedly booked for snowden and his advisor. 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 is to be but even a year on security and safety concerns mean exact whereabouts are still shrouded in secrecy is going to moscow while grammar these have lines america's national security agency collecting thousands of e-mails annually britain's g c h q got its eyes through the privacy walls of facebook google and twitter accounts german intelligence used the n.s.a. spy program and so kept coming piling embarrassment on to the united states and

britain and their spy program well it was a wake up call for the rest of us so what new have we learned about our daily routine if you are an american the your phone of video calls as well as your e-mails can be routinely intercepted by special services and here's another thing have you trusted your private data with google yahoo or facebook all this means the government has been able to access to even being a president won't help they will ground your plane if they suspect the whistleblowers on board that's what happens to believe the meter of morale as press freedom gets swept aside when governments reputations are at stake a major u.k. newspaper became the target of police raids for publishing the revelations france do spy on france and the n.s.a. have been. happing into germany's angela merkel's phone but embarrassingly for were a lan the latest snowden leak shows germany has actually been out launch pad for america's espionage in europe you know all over has more 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 america's private cell phone is being listened into 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 and we spoke to hans christian german politician who has met adults no doubt he believes the german government isn't taking the issue of n.s.a. spying seriously and has no intention of investigating it. we have complained all this time the german government does not take it seriously and does not want to participate in the investigation and draw consequences from it we are continuing to criticize them for it is an awkward situation for them and stop an interchange of this phone is just a small part of what is more important according to speakers there are a large segments of the german population that have been spied on five million ten million forty million we don't know these are very serious violations of basic rights and there are much worse than just top into chancellors phone. and if you want to know more about snowden's escape the bands that followed or the revelations that he made had to r.t.

dot com. syria has reached a significant milestone on the road to destroying its chemical weapons it has now handed over all of the toxic material it declared to the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons charges or in english has been following the story . the road to disarmament has been rather rocky for syria of course according to o.p.c. w. the deal which was brokered by russia with that participation from the u.s. in september of last year has been largely fulfilled by the syrian officials that according to the organization for provision of chemical weapons the syrian government has been very instrumental in organizing the shipment and destruction of chemical weapons they have been doing their job for their part of course considering the fact that they resisted a war going on in syria at the moment the process hasn't been going down very smoothly with some deadlines being of course missed by this syrian officials however by this point we can talk about the fact that all of syria's chemical

stockpile has been removed from the country of course there is still a rather lengthy process of destruction going on but we are i will we are essentially in the homestretch of the entire syrian chemical disarmament process well with me now is political analyst and journalist dan glazebrook. thanks so much mr glazebrook for joining us now meeting the deadline in terms of delivery but not in terms of destruction to what extent can this be described as a success. absolutely it's. very very really really max. complete is what i think it's actually demonstrates is the organization are still in the reality of. fire. another guy this is

a huge enterprise to to to locate move across a war zone and pull the attack you know its way and get out the country these huge stockpiles of chemical weapons is a massive undertaking there's a lot skepticism about whether we don't there was a lot of criticism of the timetable for being unrealistic and yet it's been more or less largely. a state of chemical weapons out the country and achieve so i think this is testament to the continued organizational capacity of the syrian state and it's worth contrasting with us general martin dempsey comments a few weeks ago. i would like to make a point here and ask him back another question because as we all know it took a lot of international diplomacy to get to this point and you know just looking at what's happening in the contrary well do you think serious compliance with the terms of the agreement in any way change its image and the eyes of the international community well there is this this strange phrase again international

community which means many things to many people but generally tends to mean basically it will look very timely how will west how it's and they're not going to change their views about syria particularly you know we've seen how how dismissive they were of assets election in their church which again was a huge joke my position on state organized people that in syria and elsewhere completely dismissive of the results of the obvious popularity of their assets no house and so on so they know it's not going to change but it's interesting their strategy is changing and i think it's worth remembering the context in which this deal about the chemical weapons originally came about than it was can this milestone have any positive influence on ending the country's civil war in your opinion so they're going sort of i mean it can this milestone actually have any positive influence on anding the country civil war. well i would hope so i would

hope so but the problem we face it's now that it's a plan b. well the how is that the player they're interested in bringing down a u.s. britain france when they came up this agreement they'd intended it i mean was to bomb syria and that was started by the rusher in the room refused to allow syria to be isolated it's only us hope to intimidate and bully pressure on iran and into going their alliance with serious oh if only you could take place and never have but that's why that's the best now there's a new strategy to destabilize russia and iran is punishment i'm not alone in the bombing of syria to go ahead by supporting groups like the right sector in ukraine like still attacking the rise of isis in iraq posing destabilizing rules on the ball on the borders of the iran and russia and then imposing is the only force it looks that thing in and resolving this is the classic it's. right dan thanks so much for sharing your thoughts with us dan ways were

a political writer and journalist and now we can return to the first topic hour one of our top stories today it's a year to the day since for man the same but we have heard snowden landed in russia and we can't cross live to the berlin commissioner for data protection and freedom dr alexander dix i don't thanks so much for joining us here on t.v. national what germany has opened an investigation into n.s.a. spying on the country but it seems bogged down at the moment so what's the hold up in your opinion. well there are two investigations going on one political investigation in the federal parliament the there is still a dispute going on in order to clear up and try to get snowden to appear before the committee but this does probably will not happen because the federal government will not agree to free passage for mr snowden on the other hand we have a criminal investigation going on by the federal investigator and this is but only

concerns the spying of mrs marco's phone. well it's interesting you mentioned mrs merkel's phone tapping here but has it in any way affected their relationship between germany and the u.s. i mean the relationship still seems to be friendly despite you know snowden's revelations what do you make of this i mean does it mean that as they say times healing or we can expect a future fall out while i still hope that the federal government is talking talking clearly and tough in behind closed doors to the u.s. government because even if there is a friendly relationship without delta between germany and the united states even between friends one has to speak out about certain realities and trust has been broken and therefore it is urgently necessary to draw consequences from this whole

and you know looking back on what happened throughout the year and what we've learned through snowden's revelations what has changed in the way we see privacy and more importantly how governments actually react to that. well to the first part of your question certainly we owe edward snowden. the fact that. in any in no time before has has been such an intense public discussion on the value of privacy worldwide and especially in germany so data protection has come to the forefront of the public debate whereas secondly the governments apparently do not really seem to take take this very seriously and that is to be deplored because there is urgent action necessary to limits the actions of secret services especially in democratic states

. while snowden's asylum in russia and pretty soon what will happen them well that isn't a question which obviously i cannot answer you have to ask the russian authorities . but ok snowden also promised more revelations what can we expect very briefly if you could speculate on this one again that is difficult to say but what he has already revealed is ground enough for any of us and for the governments especially to act immediately. write. an index thank you so much. thank you. and coming up our teams west bank bureau salvages what's left after an israeli military rate but the i.d.f. struggled to explain itself to us as to why troops stormed our office more and that

is still to come. ukrainian anti-government fighters are accusing the government of violating its own ceasefire with fresh found civs kieve in turn blames the rebels for the failure of the truce and has remained posture of reports it's not only the man with guns have been paying the price. r.t. 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 a russian border and apparently it was done from the positions of ukrainian national guards and of course in this conflict said people continue and people with guns are not the only casualties according to ukraine's head of the cranium parliament's health committee at least forty children perished as the result of the 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 so fourteen train cars words were railed and another twin blasts damaged a nearby track as well and investigators are now working on the sea to that sermon who the sailors were and of course their restoring their railway as well now here in donetsk people are already experiencing drinking water shortages but a situation is a lot more a dire in a city all follow gonski which is which hadn'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 lining up 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 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 shelling and there it's already gunfire. at a national affairs expert always our chorus says that what sets the new government in kiev apart is its love of confrontation the consistent practice of the mind on the movement of which this new government in kiev has emerged is to assume confrontation whenever it meets any resistance to tools and whenever that resistance grows it used more confrontation and that has been the pattern in the eastern ukraine still think it would frankly require enormous external pressure on key for that to change and at the moment there is a little sun. and a more news after a break here on how to international. well

talking about language as well but i will only react to situations i have read the reports so i'm likely to put the no i will leave them to the state park to comment on your latter point. to carry out a car is on the job here no god. no more weasel. what you need a direct question be prepared for a change when you when you should be ready for a. critique of speech little doubt the freedom to. dramas that can't be ignored to. stories others use in the same. places changing the world right now.

to picture a. former student. group. welcome back to what unity international polish foreign minister has been secretly taped comparing his country's relationship with the us to a sexual act and as washington that's come out on top a polish news magazine claims it's obtained a leaks recording of the diplomat calling the alliance with us worthless a transcript of the league details seem saying warsaw was giving oral sex to america in return for an illusion of safety and that it's costing poland its relationships was europe and russia but political scientist metastasis corsica told us that something the polish public already understands. let me start which is

obvious far for everyone here in boston for most of the analysts as does the voice of the g.o.p. on all the trees shared by most of the population here i would like also to add to that because he knows what he's talking about because for a long time he has been poor percy fearing paul and the american agent of influence so i hope that the purpose of. that francine dramani i will at least know that the polish politicise understand the real natural relations between us and paul and our g.'s office in 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 in a broader campaign against palestinian authorities who are being blamed for the kidnap of three israeli teenagers soldiers forced their way into a building used by transmission company media where artie's office is also based

they damaged furniture attack will go equipment and completely destroyed computer hardware troops also confiscated some archive materials r.t. asked the israeli defense forces for an explanation since the channel is not linked to the work of palestinian media the id apps answers somewhat short first israeli authorities said the goal of the raid was the channel which is surprising since that channel studio is based in another building so the i.d.f. tried again saying that no they were actually trying to search. eventually the i.d.f. admitted its operational target was the entire media complex and that's why our t. stop in library materials were confiscated they've promised to return the equipment but only after examining it for terrorist content the deputy had of ours here a bit told me that israeli forces raids are going too far. it happened after midnight everybody was a tome the only guard who opened the door of the building when they broke all the

doors broke our. office which is not accepted accepted told is how they enter our offices break our computers our internet connection take whatever they want now we are. taking prison small children even the israeli human rights groups accuse them of doing so there is a lot of question marks on the way they are trying to find these conduct people we are in our part as journalists where we will support every mean to find the truth we will call great i will say again if that is in the mean if they come and ask us to show them our archives 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. 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 advisors to help the country's army to quell the isis fighters and in the latest wave of violence there

at least seventy prisoners were killed by jihad just as they attacked a police convoy near the capital isis is also sees the strategic shia majority town of tal afar and now controls its airports hundreds of iraqi soldiers according to prime minister maliki have died at the hands of insurgents who seek out enough reports now on the sectarian divisions tearing the country apart. 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 in downtown erbil it was business as usual kurdistan has often

felt like a separate country altogether even at the height of iraq's most of the violence and bloodiest moments now with the current crisis shredding 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 to harvest would dare march on them. have full faith in the forces the one that's anything happen. for some the prospect of a divided iraq was a welcome one do you think that iraq war made of one country as we know it to happen this crisis may be it may be that iraq will have to be divided will have area and the sunnis and shias will have there is no one in kurdistan as more and we have oil we have a strong army. they may have 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 our build these massive gas lines some of the cars have been care for hours since the morning many people in fact camped 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. on 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 guarding the gas stations here just prevent fights and conflicts 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 even on the black market and so people are stocking up they say that they don't know what the bring the fear is that if we get 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 are going to get it 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 don't see job or came here six days ago from baghdad in baghdad the situation has gone from bad to worse and people are arming themselves in getting ready to fight one another all they see in the future is bloodshed in violence if something doesn't change iraq will be a country of orphans and widows who see caffein of erbil iraq and a black social renouncing it works out why some euro skeptics want to stay in the e.u. . such

i think. a point to make in. your life or. teaching everybody. sometime. our last oh well. why. are they saying all. these cases. sometimes for nothing. this.
