clear swipe at washington, president vladimir putin says snowden has not violated any law in russia so he will not be expelled. snowden is a free person, putin said, in a newscast. he added, the sooner he chooses his final destination, the better it is for him and russia, but there is no outward signs snowden is preparing to leave moscow and his future travel plans are unknown. >> i'm no different from anybody else. >> while snowden is carrying some of america's most sensitive intelligence files, putin says his security services are not working with the former nsa contractor, but the u.s. is suspect. the countries have swapped prisoners and suspects before. again, the white house asks snowden be returned to face criminal charges. in a statement, a national security council spokeswoman said there is a clear legal basis to turn him over. we're asking the russian government to take action to expel mr. snowden without delay, and u.s. secretary of state john kerry says not to damage their relationship with russia. >> i would ask for a period of calm and reasonableness in a moment where we don't need to raise the level of confrontation as something tha

various diplomatic channels of course they've been in talks with russia to try to get him back president vladimir putin essential he said that look he hasn't crossed fishley crossed russian territory he's in the transit zone so there's not much that the russians could theoretically do at this point i'd states can't ask russia to extradite mr snowden because there's no official extradition treaty they can however ask of russia to expel him something that mr putin declined to do there have been swaps of people of interest between the united states and russia in the past but there's no indication at this point that this is something that would happen and the u.s. has softened his tone somewhat in its relations with russia with secretary of state john kerry saying that we're not looking for quote a confrontation at this point of course much more of a heated response back in washington from the lawmakers on capitol hill who have not been happy with the obama and obama administration's reactions to this at least one lawmaker have called on president obama to play hardball another lawmaker has adjusted the perhaps trade relati

russia. i talked to congressman peter king earlier and he said he thinks russian president vladimir putin knew snowden was coming and he said there should be consequences. >> yeah. diplomatic consequences. consider trade consequences. economic consequences. this is relationship that russia needs as much if not more than we do. and we can't allow it to go ahead business as usual when putin allows something like this to happen so i'm talking, again, the opportunity will come over the next several months or a year where russia will need us on something involving trade or diplomacy, involving finance where the u.s. will basically say, no, and we'll make it difficult for putin. he should know that now, not to expect any favors. >> jill dougherty joining me now from washington. we heard from chuck schumer who said he's infuriated that russia is helping snowden. how damaging could this be and should anyone be surprised? >> this is something that's kind of out of the ordinary so i think a lot of people were caught off guard and maybe even the russians by this. i think that the relationship is bad. and

president obama, vladimir putin, moments ago the president obama said he u.s. and russiaave different perspective on syria, but we share an interest in stopping the violence. let's go back to amy starr. speaking of stopping the violence there are some in congress who urged the president to institute a no-fly zone but the russian foreign ministry is now saying, and i'll quote, we will not allow that. ab, would a no-fly zone perhaps trigger a military confrontation between the united states and russia? >> well, if that's what they continue to say and they're not even beginning to back down over supporting syria. they're doubling down. when they make those kinds of statements, obviously that is the mainings of a potential military confrontation. but it's really important to note that president obama does not want to implement a know fly -- no-fly zone, so not even support yet outside of some republicans in congress, for moving ahead with something like that. so that's not our current policy. for this new level of stepped up help for the rebels in syria. we're not anticipatin

russia now we know that last night u.s. president barack obama and russian president vladimir putin met they said that there were no breakthroughs in talks over syria they very said that they welcome a peaceful diplomatic resolution to the crisis however we do know that last week the usa pledged military support for the syrian opposition. and has reiterated time and time again that he wants to see a peaceful diplomatic resolution he wants to get both sides to the negotiating table now some people raising concerns about how the west of the u.s. the u.k. france of calling for the syrian opposition to be armed how they can at the same time warrant a peaceful and diplomatic resolution when potentially arming the rebels could escalate the bloodshed but there is still hope. last night apparently the g. eight leaders all met for a new thing. that reportedly went back to the expected so there is still a chance that that communique of the syria will come from all the g eight leaders including russia we know that the e.u. arms embargo was lifted last month that was also a lot of pressure that came from britain and france now we know that

russia. or that's the word from the president there, vladimir putin. he said it today. he claims snowden is in the transit area at the moscow airport so he isn't officially on russian turf. the white house says it is not buying that argument. quote: we are asking russian government to take action to expel mr. snow deb without delay. but the russian president is calling criticism from the united states ravings and rubbish. officials in hong kong say they let ed snowden get on a plane this weekend because the u.s. request to arrest him did not fully comply with hong kong law. the feds deny that ecuador's foreign minister says his government is considering snowden's application for asylum and tonight the russians say snowden is a free man who can go and do whatever he wants.

vladimir putin confirmed for the first time that snowden is in a moscow airport. and he said snowden is still in this transit area and hasn't gone through immigration so he is technically not in russia. >> please. technically not in russia. he did -- he's at the pos you could [bleep] airport. he couldn't be more in russia if he was in a square standing in some nesting dolls. so-- he-- (applause) so he's stuck in an airport unable to leave, forced to live there for an undetermined amount 6 time. but you know what? this reminded me of that tom hanks movie, you know, where he's traveling and things end up going wrong, yes, that's it, castaway, except instead of being stranded in an island he is stranded in an airport. no it's not that one. that other tom hanks movie, that's right, way, except of instead of being stranded in a little boy's body he is stranded in an airport, no, that's not it either. it's actually, it's that other tom hanks movie, yes, that's it, that's it. except instead of having aids he's stranded in an airport, that's the one. the aids one this that is the one i was thinking of. that was going to keep me up all night. now good luck finding a stupid a joke on televisi

said president putin stole his super bowl ring. tonight, putin is firing back. abc's kirit radia in moscow. >> reporter: vladimir putin is a lot of things. president of russia judo master. thrill seeker. what he's not, the kremlin says, is a thief. tonight, putin's aides are denying he stole a diamond encrusted super bowl ring from new england patriots owner robert kraft. the two met in 2005. both agree kraft showed the ring. both agree that putin left with it. kraft issued a statement at the time, saying he gave putin the ring as a gift. but on thursday, kraft reveal what he says is the real truth. he said he handed putin the ring the look at and remembers he sailing, "i could kill someone with this king." then, according to kraft, the president pocketed it. all 124 diamonds. kraft says he called it a gift only after pressure from the white house. today, the kremlin is pushing back. an aide to the president told abc news the ring was definitely a gift, calling kraft's claims weird. it isn't quite the cold war, but somewhere in the kremlin behind me is a super bowl ring. and the only thing that's clear is that it isn't coming back. david? >> kirit radia, th

technically crossed into russia's borders the media is having a field day and tag and is in the country for not making a move earlier today russian president vladimir putin said to reporters that quote the sooner snowden selects his final destination point the better both for the u.s. and for himself who can also reiterated that snowden is not a fugitive rather referring to him as a free man adding that the whistleblower can't be turned over to u.s. authorities on the grounds that the u.s. and russia do not have an extradition agreement and as this drama continues to unfold corporate media pundits have been holding their court of public opinion on the matter paid to not only snowden but guardian journalist glenn greenwald as traitors. was a total phony he is anti-american he loves to radical regime and he did this because he hates america this had nothing to do with publicizing information that was alan dershowitz last night on c.n.n. a slightly softer tone from the tenant colonel ralph peters who recently suggested that snowden and manning should both receive the death penalty but to cut through some of this inflammatory rhetoric to give us the real insight

so far from president vladimir putin that russia is willing to do that now we did hear from president barack obama who spoke at a press conference in senegal and he basically said that there is a he said that he has not spoken to putin directly about this neither has he spoken to the chinese president directly he said that he shouldn't top two that the regular diplomatic channels should be enough and because of the massive amount of trade that the united states does with both russia and china president obama said that he he's not going to have one case i'm quoting here of a suspect who we've been trying to extradite suddenly being elevated to the point where i've got to doing start doing wheeling and dealing and trading on a whole host of other issues so at this point the u.s. is still trying to figure out a way to to get its hands on snowden through regular diplomatic channels but of course no progress on that point at this moment or at least he thinks so for this on date and of course we'll continue to monitor the situation and bring you all the very latest as we get it how a human rights activist want to government to let snowden stay in the country and act
