as a result, snowden requested asylum in russia since then they left me alone, he told snowden. as a result, she received a residence permit and citizenship and even started a family in russia. snowden was shocked all the time that the united states was spying more than on its potential adversaries. such as iran and cancer north or russia and as for the own population of the united states of america, the united states would be taken everywhere in the world just except russia, here is russia that he thinks is such a fortress for him, of course, russia has become the safest place. the united states authorities call snowden the culprit of one of the largest leaks of classified data in history, a former nsa specialist stole 1.5 million files, and the total surveillance of american intelligence agencies not only for their own citizens. well because of mobile device users around the world. moreover, according to these materials, the leading internet company. people like google and apple are aware of all this and even cooperate with the cia and the nb in ​​washington accused snowden of

e, do edward snowden's relatives have any problems, there are no problems, e periodically.l, immediately when it was here that the parents came. i also met my dad and we have a good relationship. we keep in touch this one when he has some questions. i am always open, so he lives a normal life, of course, he tries, but to provide for all sorts of security measures. this is understandable. and so thank god everything is in order in russia well accepted. he is also pleased. so let's hope. that he has a good future ahead, but dear gotch and uh, here is our conversation with you, of course, once again , not only about the fate of edward snowden, but first of all about the role and the problems that he hid this role of officials of those representatives western authorities who say one thing do another. we are now in the last year and a half. apparently it's very clear. and if there is any understanding that the problems that edward snowden risked so much because of, they found some kind of response from the western public in the political sphere. or is it such an eye crying in th

in a 29-story skyscraper without windows, as snowden claimed , there is a top-secret room in which ae is stored, wiretapping millions of intercepted conversations and messages. basically. these are contacts of foreign subscribers. the main object of surveillance is the un headquarters and the personal secretary general that the american intelligence services are watching antonio guterish. known it is significant from recent leaks from pentagon informant jack youshare that the secretary general himself, apparently, was in the know, and before that the secretary general. he is not surprised by the fact that there is no spy behind him and that his private conversations are being monitored. what is surprising is the incompetence of people who distort the meaning of these private conversations and allow them to become public knowledge. again, judging by the leaks, the american intelligence services are listening not only to oppositionists, such as journalists, and rocarus, but also to allies us chancellor angela merkel for example that the nsa in the us is constantly watching everyone. st

i thought edward snowden was terrible.as burke -- daniel ellsberg showed he could do it right. daniel ellsberg tried to go up the chain of command to show to senators. he went through all of the hoops to prove it's not just you being in egomaniac, you have a legitimate cause. when he finally leaked the 7000 documents to the post, you could at least say he a, went through the hoops, and b, did with the expectation he would spend the rest of his life in jail. that to me is doing it the right way, anything that should almost never be done except in extreme circumstances. amna: how do you will be remembered? jonathan: as a hero, someone who stood up for principles, who had a strong belief and tried to do something about it. i agree with david. i would add one more thing, because you mentioned edward snowden. a lot of people were comparing the two when snowden leaked those documents. i wrote a column then, 10 years ago this week that said no he is not. while they both leaked documents, daniel ellsberg did something edward snowd

i would add one more thing, about edward snowden, a lot of people were comparing the two women snowdendocuments. i wrote a column then, 10 years ago this week that said no he is not. while they both leaked documents, daniel ellsberg did something edward snowden didn't do, he stayed in the country, he turned himself in and allowed himself to be held accountable. something edward snowden still refuses to do. in that regard, that's what i say someone like daniel ellsberg should be considered a hero, because he did something that stood up for his beliefs and value system and then suffer the consequences. amna: his family said in a statement today that he was not in pain and surrounded by loving family, even joking in the end. he said if i had known dying would be like this, i would have done it sooner. [laughter] of course our thoughts are with his family. thank you to you leaders from all 31 nato member nations will hold their annual summit next month in vilnius, lithuania. ahead of it, some members, and ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy, are stepping up their calls for ukraine to j

and the same is true for snowden. not one person harmed in all this time. ifrankly...out in the press. did you? i've never said that publicly. julian assange had conveyed to me as a backup in case his was, you know, they caught him and he'd got everything... mm. ..he could rely on me to find some way to get it out if i felt. so i had all that. and when i say that, i'm saying that by the current standing of the department ofjustice, iam now as indictable asjulian assange and as everyone who put that information out — the papers, everybody who handled it. yes, i had copies of it and i did not give them to an authorised person. so if they want to indict me for that, i will be interested to argue that one in the courts, whether that law is constitutional. the supreme court has never held that using the espionage act as if it were a british 0fficial secrets act, which i would clearly have violated, if that — using the espionage act as if it were an official secrets act, which has never been passed by our congress, that that would be criminal. they've never ruled on that. i'

i think as we learned subsequently from edward snowden himself, that decision had an immense impact on his choice to release materials to the public that shed huge light on how the government surveillance activities expanded in the 12 years between 9/11 and those disclosures. i think we'll cook back to many of those topics. but although there were important and dramatic moments of transparency between 9/11 and the snowden disclosure, those disclosures gave us a much fuller picture into many of the issues related to 702 and the executive order that i know we'll get into today. >> at the time of this in-- at the -- what were you up to at the time this horrible thing happened? >> i was actually on vacation. i was at a house in a remote part of italy with some friends. i wasn't living in the u.s. at the time. i was living in the hague, working on disarmament and arms krosm we had no tv -- arms control. we had no tv or anything. in the afternoon, people with blackberries, it was all blackberries back then, lit up with the news. i remember going to this hotel in the nearby village that night

i identify very strongly with edward snowden and with chelsea manning when chelsea manning said to her informant, she was ready to go to prison for life or even be executed, quote, to get all this information. i thought i haven't heard anyone else say that for 40 years. that's why i felt one time, 10691971. in the late 19 fifties, ellsberg was the brains behind america's top secret operational plan for all loud nuclear wall, with china and the soviet union. he held onto those classified documents for 50 years on the releasing them in 2021. keep assistance, the question, the motives behind war, something to decades of fighting and of gun it's done. and the war and ukraine raises today. we control natal, pretty much the nato position, execution or reason to show a norbish them off for large. he went from an audience, cold warrior, to campaigning for peace. and while he said so much of what those in the car doors of power wants to keep from the world or listening folk, he's sure to take some secrets with him to the grave. can we have with us ray mcgovern who is a c a who was a c i analyst

in this gathering, statues of edward snowden, the executive of asan, 6:30 manning, an american veteran , are displayed, each of which exposes a part of the taste that western governments have a role in the british judicial system in handling the complaints of lawyers. yassa refused to extradite him to washington and he is supposed to be handed over to the american government. the residents of the occupied territories protested for the 25th week in a row against the prime minister of the zionist regime . zionist news sources announced that at least 95 a thousand people attended the demonstration. translators say that netanyahu is trying to protect himself from corruption charges by changing some rules . according to these protesters, netanyahu's proposed reforms can make it easier for him to escape prosecution in corruption cases during his prime ministership. it has faced numerous problems of corruption. experts of the developments in the occupied territories say that the sects in the political scene of the zionist regime show big gaps that will cause the end of its existence . reza at

we've known that since 2013 thanks to whistle blower. edward snowden. now, 10 years later that governments and intelligence agencies are reported the receiving even more data from social media provider. who else has metro. sharing data with mattel has been publishing and transparency reports in 2016. it details the number of times governments of possible access to the own citizens data on its platform. in the latest issue, the us is topic than this with more than 64000 request photos closely by india. next comes germany and brazil with about $70500.00 total request submitted each in the report. metro states measure response to government requests what data in accordance with a particular law and our chance of service each and every request we received is cassidy reviewed for legal sufficiency. and we may reject a require greater specificity or requests that appear overly broad or vague. so in other words, unless a country slot does not allow for use of data to be passed on much, i may indeed end of the over the published numbers seem to indicate that me

forget that they do the same thing with people in the usa, only there it’s normal, and there was also snowdenandards. why does the western media have such an explicit plan to attack alexander lukashenko same thing with putin yes, there were magazine covers. big because belarus is close to russia and does not agree to give its sovereignty into the hands of european technocrats and this is a problem for them, because in the minds of euro officials and american neoconservatives. there is an idea that your country is their full possession. and your president interferes with this. that is, he annoys them, it is he who does not agree to sacrifice the tranquility of the country, the social sphere of medicine, as well as our independence and political independence, of course. another important topic of sanctions in the european council is being discussed on the eleventh package against russia , and possibly belarus, and this despite the words of some euro officials that there are no more sanctions and there is no need to impose sanctions. today it is an effective way to put pressure on the president

edward snowden.ing details of the nsa's domestic surveillance program, snowden has been living in exile in russia, and yesterday, it was announced that he was granted russian citizenship. that's rough timing, bud. "congratulations, new citizen. put right hand on potato and repeat after me: 'i solemnly swear to immediately go be exploded in ukraine.' hee is passport and weapon: sharpened tampon." other people -- it's a true story. [applause] other people are achieving russian citizenship by force. because putin has made occupied parts of ukraine vote on joining russia in sham referendums. i believe we have a copy of that ballot. should ukraine join russia? da, super da, or "dahhh i am falling out of window!" according to one ukrainian mayor, the getout-the-vote effort has been exactly what you'd think: "they bang loudly, they ring the doorbell, they give people a ballot and point with their rifles where to put the mark." and like all elections, it is being run by elderly volunteers. "ding-dong, hello,

's confession that she deceived in 2013, i want to remind one such young man, whose last name is snowdenbout the wiretapping, including he told about the wiretapping of angela merkel and that wiretapping, which the german special services have, to this day, because hmm and for two years , an investigation was underway about what they listened to there, what they learned there, and in 2015, all of a sudden, this whole case is closed for one simple reason, due to claims that they do not have any materials from the american side, they did not present therefore to prove the fact of wiretapping, they cannot so between 2013 and 2015 lies 2014, the very moment when merkel, i suspect under pressure, in including the united states of america, maybe even as a result of listening to those very ones that we have not seen and do not know, but we know that they were, she makes her decision. why did merkel suddenly change all her rhetoric in 2014, when she she said we are signing, but in fact she did not sign anything and this whole thing did not go. i think that in germany they will consider the issue
