and e.u. regulations but entrusting li anough the white house is insisting that dodd frank is not included in the transatlantic talks however wall street and european finance ministers do want these financial services regulations included senator sherrod brown have brought up the point that the industry will use any means necessary to roll back dodd frank which could be accomplished in trade talks that many corporations are largely involved in the u.s. trade representative assured during his senate confirmation that the negotiations would not watered down too big to fail regulations. there's nothing that we are going to do through trade agreement to weaken our financial regulation to roll back to frank or to roll back the efforts of the ministration congress worked on for the last four years to reform our financial regulatory system here and to work with the g twenty and other mechanisms to raise the standards around the world. rules surrounding derivatives trading are some of the most controv

and it's been said the e.u. decision is worthless. >> the aim of this decision is clear, the aim is to subject us to control to oblige us to retreat, to make us reluctant, to make us panic and terrify us. i can tell them that you will not achieve anything through this decision other than failure and disappointment. this decision will not achieve any of its goals and we're calling on the e.u. to retreat from this mistake. >> the ruler went to the hezbollah strong hold in southern lebanon to find out how its supporters are reacting to the e.u. decision. >> thousands of peacekeepers roamed the narrow allies of southern lebanon and villages and hundreds are european and groups from the same e.u. nations who have designated hezbollah's military wing as a terrorist organization and this is hezbollah's strong hold even if its fighters are not visible. we are all hezbollah, says this 37-year-old maria. hezbollah is not a terrorist group but a group that defends its people, defended me and my son and my neighbor and husb

so i was thinking even if the european community or the e.u. cease to exist globalization is something much bigger and deeper and wider than us it's an irreversible perseus so is it likely going to games to flow things with this whole border thing and then it completely cools no no i don't agree that globalization is a backward but nobody ever said it was something we couldn't monitor all the countries in the world apart from the e.u. defend themselves against globalization saw they try to keep it in check they control it they put voters on imports they put customs duties on things to defend their products and the economic sectors that are essential to their independence are the only ones who don't do it and so consequently it's not about denying that globalization is happening it's about getting france into a position where it can defend itself against globalization and to set some playing rules there's not a single game in the world that doesn't have rules and today globalization and the e.u. is completely deregulated and i mean that we see t

the european officials prior to taking off from moscow and then all of a sudden mid-flight several e.u. states bans them from entering their territory and this is despite the fact that they needed to refuel along the way and it seems that at this point we began having technical problems with the plane and relayed it with the fuel we found a transcript of what seems to be a recording of the conversation between the bolivian pilots and the air traffic controller at the airport in vienna in austria let's listen in do you need any assistance not at this moment we need to land because we cannot get a correct indication of the fuel level we need to land after the plane landed in austria a local authorities actually searched it and looking for snowden on board although they themselves say that they were allowed to do so by authorities but even when they did didn't find the former n.s.a. contractor on that plane it still took quite a few hours for the believing in president to continue his trip back home since the e.u. still wouldn't give them the proper airspace cord or the proper route to co

meanwhile the e.u. leaders demand an explanation from their american ally on the latest revelations by edward snowden as the u.s. remains tight lipped on the issue. and live pictures you're seeing there from egypt the country's military says that it could take matters into its own hands this if the government fails to address the people's demands within forty eight hours all this comes in the wake of massive countrywide demonstrations that have been calling for president mohamed morsi to step down. and fears of an all out conflict in that country are also intensified by the muslim brotherhoods of val's of action that's after their headquarters were ransacked and torched by protesters. great to have you with us this evening i'm lucy catherine of and you're watching r.t. . well the federal immigration service denies reports that the n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden has requested asylum in russia this is after president vladimir putin said the fugitive whistleblower could stay in the country but on one

this case e.u. conversations about whatever they were going to talk about was certainly of interest to the united states. >> for a long time we've spied on each other. we've competed economically and politically. so there's always attention there. i think special relationship is -- is more for p.r. than for reality. >> the scope and scale of america's international espionage program has come under intense scrutiny since the former n.s.a. contacted edward snowden leaked e-mails. but it has the potential for long-term diplomatic damage. >> the u.s. president barack obama has announced a $7 billion plan to improve energy production in africa. speaking towards the end of his speech, he said a scheme would more than double access to electricity. his trip has been overshadowed by the health of nelson mandela. >> as a sight considered sacred to the story of south africa, the u.s. president took a moment to reflect. cell. s nelson mandela's it was his home for the 27 years. mandela's prison here just as pal

so i was thinking even of the european community or the e.u. cease to exist globalization is something much bigger and deeper and wider than us it's an irreversible persis so is it like a big going against the flow things with this whole border thing and then it completely cools no no i don't agree that globalization is a backward step but nobody ever said it was something we couldn't monitor all the countries in the world apart from the e.u. defend themselves against globalization saw they try to keep it in check they control it they put voters on imports they put customs duties on things to defend their products and the economic sectors that are essential to their independence are the only ones who don't do it and so consequently it's not about denying that globalization is happening it's about getting france into a position where it can defend itself against globalization and to set some playing rules there's not a single game in the world that doesn't have. and today globalization and the engineer was completely deregulated and i mean that

policy drift away from the e.u. the british government is planning to walked out of around one hundred european regulations on justice and the police will. follow them or it was noted a moment but let's start with egypt is how shall we egypt finds itself on the brink of chaos more than fifty people have died during a mass city in support of the ousted president mohamed morsi the muslim brotherhood claims security forces used live rounds and tear gas against the crowd during dawn prayers of side the republican guard headquarters but the military blames the gunfire on terrorists troops at a makeshift hospital for the wounded but we want to warn you that some of the witness accounts coming up featured here can't be independently verified. i'm here as a field hospital inside the city and it was a scene of bloody clashes between security forces and those still supporting our president mohamed morsy in the early hours of this morning speaking to the doctors here who were treating wounded they told me the first injuries th

no one was like behind the scenes warned that this was going to happen because what there was like e.u. russia summit for example i can december or january something like no one told you that it not happen. we are news that. cyprus is under stress of his government was to question could support from the russian government a number of occasions but we thought the cyprus issue because of similar way is the issue but i was in the way that it was through the you know when this whole thing was going on and angela merkel in particular she was very adamant that cyprus doesn't talk to anyone else but e.u. members and particularly not talk to russia about you know this problem which was really weird because i mean how do you expect cyprus not to talk to russia when thirty billion dollars of thirty billion euros are in spanx so therefore there was a conspiracy theory that e.u. was going to do this anyways they were going to have the haircut done but having so much money in cyprus was like an additional extra reason to actually do it because it will also hit russian money. or in all the arguments

s mass eavesdropping on europe the e.u. is demanding complete transparency and maximum information from the u.s. that's despite recent reports revealing its own snooping activities france is believed to be running a version of the and essays in from its prism program. investigates. this building behind me in the eastern part of kerry or rather the story bunker underneath it is the epicenter of the crash spy scandal that had quarters of the country's security services and it's from here that it's now coming from says big brother it's news because he called monitoring millions of phone calls text messages taxes and e-mails. how do you sleep with. the french public is actually very much you have been p.c. been conflicting messages from their leadership. first few weeks after revelations over america's rescue now it's all on top and damned america saying it's not what others do now it's been revealed france is itself doing exactly what it just very vocally denounced. french officials are downplaying the allegations over the cou
