is definitely a sort of catch me if you can situation if you will now his adviser here in russia anatoly cucina did say the paperwork that he needs that would allow him to officially exit the airport and enter russia is is still not here now it's a formal notice essentially that federal migration service is is considering his bid and it is officially in process what that gives edward snowden is close to three months to move about freely in the country until he gets that document in his hands he cannot leave after that three months that's when the final decision from federal migration services will come through if it is a favorable decision on edward snowden's behalf he plans to settle here if not he also plans to appeal that decision that shows just how serious he is everyone expected to snowden would use russia as as a transit point to another country but just a little while after he landed here from hong kong when he didn't appear on that flight to cuba people looked at that very suspiciously wondering what was up this is a cat and mouse game with the media at this point we don't know

through in fact it should be another couple of days this is according to his adviser a russian lawyer anatoly. he just spoke with us just minutes ago and he gave us an interview and essentially said that. the federal migration service is still processing the documents that edward snowden needs in his hands before he can step out of the airport where he stayed for the last month now what this document is it's essentially a formalized notification that his bid for temporary asylum is in process and then gives him around three months to move freely about the country at the end of that three months is when the temporary asylum bid will either get a thumbs up or a thumbs down but at that point edward snowden and his team do have plans in place now if it is a favorable decision on the part of the effect of migration services to give him temporary asylum it means that to edward snowden plans to pursue work here and to call russia his home learning the language and assimilating himself. and then if the decision on the on the other side is negative that russia will not grant him temporary asylum he ac

could be made within two or three weeks that's the latest and hopefully we'll have a line with anatoly good cheer and very sued and hopefully will have a chance to communicate with him and ask him directly what's going to happen and his thoughts his feeling sure i think as we mentioned earlier i think it was really interesting that snowden brought brought to two sets of people into that meeting if we look at. the thirteen it sounds like something a lot of the regs refer to in the going to the meeting. and as i said before it's he's bringing international. experts who are people with expertise in international human rights but he's also bringing a local dimension. a political scientist in particular and. a very let's say hi high status lawyer let's put it that way to consult with all the moscow possibilities. it wouldn't surprise me that i'm somewhat surprised that he's got his strategy back together again i think there was a general impression that he left hong kong in some form of a hurry he was either escorted out of there very quickly or or left on a resolution but without a passpor

word is one person's putin's word that's not going to happen on the other hand the involvement of anatoly who has a has a background in human rights work and has probably help shore up the human rights aspect of it and they seem to be playing the human rights aspect of snowden's asylum requests by the book so i think the kremlin seems to be coming out of this and the reason the strong position and from the inside of the democracy and corporation says that snowden's leaks actually had a major influence on public opinion. the european union governments are hand in glove with the americans on spying they share intelligence they spy on their own citizens in the same way and so their expressions of outrage are in my view straight but of course it's had a huge effect in you know international public opinion as a whole people now know that there is this massive espionage program that emails and so on are being spied on all this in the name of the war against terrorism and trust long as he remains in the headlines i think that people will continue or at least our people will continue to remember

putin's worries about putin's work that's not going to happen on the other hand the involvement of anatoly who has a has a background in human rights work and has probably help shore up the human rights aspect of it and they seem to be playing the human rights aspect of snowden's asylum request by the book so i think the kremlin seems to be coming out of this new really strong position. so russia will most likely prove to be just a stopover for snowden before he heads elsewhere that america is the most likely destination for the whistleblower let's see where exactly he could and up while glenn greenwald the man who's released much of what snowden leaked thinks that venezuela is the best option believe it is also among the front runners especially after the grounding of its president's plane in europe cause much anger and nicaragua is willing to story looks as if we're talking about ecuador there but no also in nicaragua that's looks as if it's willing to grant asylum after receiving an application from snowden and there is the president ecuador that's another option despite the u.s. urging

good morning roy well according to his advisor anatoly could check into it could be today it could be tomorrow it could be early next week he says the document should be in edward snowden's hands in the coming days but let me tell you something for those of us waiting outside it feels like an eternity and i'm sure to mr snowden it does as well yesterday was a very active and stressful day here at the hair port for everyone waiting for mr snowden to emerge and when that document didn't show up there was a lot of disappointment he's been inside for over a month and it's just it's just keeps on going and going now it's important to clarify what this document means now it's a formal notice essentially that federal migration services is considering his bid and it is officially in process what that gives edward snowden is close to three months to move about freely in the country until he gets that document in his hands he cannot leave the transit zone so it's a very important document for him to get before them and now after that three months that's when the final decision from federal migr

any more information tension mounted wednesday when reports emerge that snowden's russian advisor anatoly. was en route to shadow metro airport terminal with documents allowing snowden's temporary release from the transit zone while his asylum bid is considered but he showed up toting a brown paper bag filled with nothing more than new clothes and a few copies of russian classics translated to english along with some rather dismal news for snowden the paperwork was delayed. it was in waiting mode now we can all imagine how he feels being unaware of what's ahead of him and whether he'll get a yes or no answer from the russian authorities and the procedures can take up to three months anyway he's very grateful to russia which didn't abandon him and to the people who were trying to help him needless to say snowden was nowhere in sight for the media's hungry lenses meanwhile the game of diplomatic ping pong gets better and better while russia allows snowden's who remain in the transit zone the white house demands he's returned without delay the kremlin returns the volley by pointing out the a
