a hiv prevention campaign in cuba to finance political unrest there the undercover operation run by use aid since the two thousand and nine has been unveiled by the associated press and here's scottish account with more. it's no longer a secret that some of the u.s. government aid programs have a dual purpose the u.s. agency for international development usaid known for overseeing billions of dollars in u.s. humanitarian aid was dispatching venice oil and poles to weaken and peruvian young people to cuba hoping to provoke a revolution in their young latinos often posed as tourists they traveled across the country and recruited people whom they believe they could turn into political activists a form administrator with a venezuelan over the station who participated in this effort said it was no safety net for these inexperienced workers if they were caught by cuban authorities so the spying program involving the use when don't even after the scandalous arrest the

felon gloss in two thousand and nine who worked as a sup contractor the usa is now serving a fifteen year sentence in cuba the u.s. trying to foment on wednesday in cuba is nothing new of course but this latest investigation by the associated press reveals how humanitarian aid programs were used to that end such as an aid the prevention workshop in memo so paint by the a.p.'s label this quote unquote the perfect excuse for the program's political goals the u.s. government actually is they are hiding the fact that some of their programs have a dual purpose of speaking about this they should be workshop program the usaid said quote it enables support for cuban civil society while providing a secondary benefit of addressing desired cubans expressed information and training about hiv prevention. when a u.s. state department spokesperson jen psaki was asked about the revelations she denied the use a program had a mixed mission. the first thing that people will ask them is how do we know that
6:16 am
you're not cia well strengthening a civil society and empowering a civil society to be more capable it's something that that was the focus of this program and again i think what's been communicated with any who have is the secretary comfortable with this apparent mixing of missions we would disagree with that characterization. and anti-war activist eugene puryear says cubans are losing trust in n.g.o.s because the u.s. has been using them to undermine the government. ultimately it makes every single person even people who have entirely positive motives entirely outre sic motives it makes it much more difficult for them to do their work from the point of view of you know not only the goodwill of governments but the attitude of peoples i mean i think quite frankly people are very well informed about these sorts of things they know that since nine hundred sixty there have been any number of u.s. efforts to overthrow the cuban government from assassinations to invasions to the
6:17 am
promotion of terrorist base out of miami and so you know people who are our tribe are coming in and offering aid so really the people of cuba are open to this woman it relation in any large scale way and perhaps they will also be more wary of those coming and not themselves wanting to be manipulated by a foreign power so it makes it much more difficult for aid providers to provide the aid and it makes it much more difficult difficult for those who are receiving the aid to really know that what they're getting is is a true person to person contact that is for the good of the people as opposed to potentially something where they're being used as pawns which i think many people in cuba and around the world for that matter are not interested. now the russian government is considering a limit or a complete ban on european flights crossing its air space to asia and that's been reported by russian media citing a source in the government a possible move comes in response to e.u. sanctions that have been imposed on moscow joining me now is venture capital host katie pilbeam thanks so much kate for joining us here to talk about this well first
6:18 am
off how big of a move would that be ok we're going to demonstrate it with sets name arena so here we go it's all very much up in the air at the moment so let's that she see what this was all mean then imprint so the system challenges european airlines to fly over the side bear to japan and south korea which is the shortest route which means ultimately less time and therefore less cost in time so this route saves four and a half hours in flight signed as you can see it's quite a difference now the. deal was arranged back in the seventy's and it means a saving of thirty thousand dollars for each flight or air force takes two hundred million dollars in such payments per year on average now for argument's sake. if ever a floor which holds the exclusive rights to the route was to stop european flights from using this then this is the route that they would have to take so as you can see it's obviously a lot longer or downright that this could be
6:19 am
a possible reaction to its budget airline job or leds having to cease its operations as a result of sanctions the new airline can't get access to various services such as maintenance and flight information now before joining the world trade organization russia did plan to decrease the over flight fees before counseling them all together but obviously the international environment is intensified sanctions have intensified and obviously the situation has changed as a result. more costs more time in the air is the result of all of their some arena and here is probably the right way to describe things of the moment but thanks so much for bringing us the details of this kitty pilgrim there. tell the stories now jihadists from other notorious islamic state group add now fought their way into lebanon expanding their sphere of influence to
