certainly is not going to like this but russia is not latin america i think will hear experts say they're not going to be pushed around by the united states and he said i'm just reading some of the latest quotes from that meeting and one of the participants whose name is stuck on a lot. one of the members of human rights watch says that mr snowden wants to stay in russia until because right now he's not he's not able to fly to latin america right now so until he's going to stay here in moscow of course we're waiting for more reports coming out from moscow's sheremetyevo airport and he said now is standing by for us and waiting for more information of course we'll bring you as we'll bring you more information as soon as possible and he said thank you very much indeed for that. all right let's let me figure out now what we're doing next. all right let's take a look at what we're having for you right now on our web site which is dot com. and if you go the you can see our online poll and this is how you've been voting so far so the majority believe snowden should leave moscow for how vonna an

tricky situation about how to get edward snowden to latin america could be a very dangerous step for him so perhaps he really has decided that russia is the safest place just place to stay the question now is is he ready to agree to those terms and stop leaking. as he applies for the societal. and we're getting reports that by the way we could leaks will be releasing snowden's statement to human rights groups this evening that's for those who will be interested to read them all and also it's not an approach that if he gets political asylum here in russia it will give him the right to move freely inside russia so that was he said now live from a sure major airport where the. all right what the meeting place and he said thank you very much and right now we can listen to all right ali and he said ok stay where you are. ok thank you very much for just the single we're doing next ok i need to stay where you are but where we're ready to listen to human rights representative to channel option all right now let's listen in while she has to say . yes you know until you get in on this you know

and not to help safe passage to latin america. i can't imagine the u.s. having the pressure to push russia into sending him back i don't see that happening i think it would be you millie it into russia in the extreme and it wouldn't happen with what i'm actually curious to see is whether the newspapers that he's already released the files to are are going to feel bound at all to not continue releasing things that they have about the n.s.a. and i'm curious to know what russia's response to that would be. in terms of their grief but with him not to release documents i don't think he can tell the washington post or the guardian what to do with them. they already have they thanks very much indeed for that dave lindorff live there from philadelphia. well political analyst babiche believes that snowden recognize that saddam in russia was the only option left to him. you see is that it is not a very secure america right now because just recently we had been used to that american vice president biden personally called the ecuadoran president rafael carette and ba

i'm big in latin america. i think we're neglecting latin america. look what is happening with snowden. we'd lose an osa vote in latin america and this is a region that is close to us. >> one thing i'd say as we draw to a close is what has been going on at syracuse university for more than ten years. they approached me more than ten years ago saying we took information technology into the soviet union in china. by so doing we feel we've hastened the change in those two countries. can we do anytime north korea? they are doing it in north korea. there is a twin lab relationship between the university and pyongyang. we have trained technicians in beijing. they are almost as good at it as the south koreans are. why do we do it? we feel the more information that comes into north korea, the more easily they will adapt to the fact they have to join the family of the world and begin to treat their own people with the respect that they deserve. >> i'm afraid we've run out of time. we could spend all evening talking about this fascinating subject but governor

snowden's revelations not harming his friends the united states he will then go on to latin america what was shown by the grounding or the hijacking of evo morales his jet in european powers of the past weeks or so those events the other week is that snowden realize he just is not safe the united states president obama has shown that enemies of the state as he perceives it will either be detained tortured in the case of bradley manning or killed in the case of drone strikes and so snowden obviously realizing that great danger decided to him to invite these thirteen human rights groups to the airport for this quite unprecedented. meeting head of when he speaks to the press because we have that first picture as well the the second question to you why did he ask human rights activists not politicians right now. presume he's hoping the intervention of human rights watch amnesty international has to be said some of these human rights groups have their own agendas and sometimes allied quite closely with the u.s. state department i presume snowden and his wiki leaks team of aware of all of that

think the malone went to latin america because they wanted or they would have called by hugo chavez to join. then i discussed the relations with the trait -- with china to be very quick before it finished it is usually interested as a country to grow economically. and looking to increase the economic power by ec china is looking to increase its political power and influence around the world. in the solution is right now is states has influence in china is backyard with starvations to iran and korea. we are dawn allowing the chinese at the air radio and the privilege of offered a great opportunity. i know but have the eighth lady's presence in the influence it was before the chinese but i think the real stress they can sell them and in china around the world we wanted to put sanctions on the region but the chinese oppose it objectively then to city and and the chinese objected we're in the same situation and they continue to object so therefore it's it is in the vital interest of china of the allies of the revolution so that leaves something important to take into account and finally

whistle blower on the run that edward snowden could be heading to latin america where the leaders of the three countries they are ready to plunge in political asylum. egypt is involved in a deadly clashes as you can see the live pictures are from cairo as efforts to form an interim government have so far ended in failure leaving many in fearing a conflict could lead to civil war. and gaza one time will be a prison not turning to harsh new tactics or to break the mass hunger strike by inmates which has now entered its sixth month. you're watching r.t. for the week's a top stories as well as today's my name is to bomb would say it's good to have your company with us. venezuela says it's still waiting to hear if edward snowden a will take up its asylum offer as the monday deadline is set by caracas approaches as one of three latin american countries alongside bolivia and nicaragua are offering to help the men who expose the u.s. government's global surveillance web now the leaders of the three nations are say their decision to help the former n.s.a. contractor is prompted by washington'

yeah exactly bill actually this is a very hard issue right now here in latin america because now latin america is that really acting like a bloc you know and that right now we can feel anger rage and deception there's just wrote there's been brought about one concept that is very interesting it's the concept of you know colony you know latin american countries this being. harmony's first hand and now they are saying that it's actually encounters which are actually like colonies colonies of the us what they hang orders from the us and this is actually why they are doing they are violating by omitting international law in order to keep hostage. graeme's time the president evo morales in the end of this is actually watch out when he sees how to believe in government saw it and yesterday after a number of emergency meeting albeit government west met all night long trying to find a solution for president omar morale is now was it may not be shoot you know they were saying that european countries are behaving like colonies now and that's why we say it was some distraction but you need to eat

the fact is, latin america is humanitarian territory, and it is growing every day. >> on monday, thousands of rallied outside the embassy in bolivia to protest the forced landing of bolivian president a evo morales. to land inas forced brussels because of false rumor that snowden was aboard. as thepute comes just u.s. and european union have opened talks in washington on creating the world's largest free-trade zone. negotiations were briefly thrown into doubt last week after it emerged the u.s. has been spying on european union offices and member country offices. we will have more on the spying with a newly released interview with edward snowden, and then we will speak with the ecuadorian foreign minister patiÑo lawyers for brandi manning have opened their defense at his military court martial. on monday, his attorneys began playing the video that he leaked of shooting iraqis from a u.s. helicopter. the prosecution had sought to block the video from airing in court, calling it not relevant. lawyers also submitted a transcript in the book "the good videors" to show that the had already bee

now 40%-- which is actually majority-- are in latin america. and the growth of catholics around the world has been in the southern hemisphere. so especially for latin america this is a very big step for them to be included and to have a world leader at the level of a pope to be one of them. >> warner: is there something deeper in the philosophy and approach he's brought not just to the papacy but his ministry throughout? >> absolutely. the latin american church which began, let's say, with bartholomew delas casas, he said "we are going to have a grass-roots perspective and we are going to start with the poor and the people. and particularly with the indigenous." and that's something that this pope brings back, the concern for the poor, the concern for the socially marginalized. and he has really emphasized that in his pastoral work. so it's very important to him. >> warner: and he brings a kind of humble style. i mean, we've all read that he doesn't wear the red papal shoes, he doesn't live in the lavish apartments that popes usually do. does t

in latin america of course bolivia venezuela and nicaragua have all suggested they would take him in but it is proving very very difficult for him to get there not only because of america's aggressive pursuit of him which led to the grounding of the bolivian president's plane over european airspace this week but also he doesn't have the valid travel documents to go to remember he's had his passport revoked that's why he's been stuck in transit that's why he's turned to russia for temporary refuge and the suggestion is that lawyers would be king to help him with that application and the suggestion also ways that his application when it arrives will be looked upon favorably. snowden no says that conditions are acceptable he can get it i think he really. satisfies the requirements for a political refugee human rights activists or lawyers who are there. to worry green. he was prosecuted for political reasons rather than on legal grounds. so i suppose our poor fairly rough times at the moment between moscow and washington are perhaps obama and putin not exactly enjoying a fruitful bro. yo

snowden said that he is planning to move to latin america when he has the right travel documents why not just ask for permanent asylum here in moscow or do you think. probably because the russian government has a reputation also for surveillance not always being very kind to leaks. to american governments on the other hand you've had a political process there for the last ten years that they've strived for autonomy and also to some extent human rights so. with those governments welcoming him with open arms it's no. wonder really that he's trying to go there. actually before snowden got stuck in the transit zone in moscow apple before that we can leave that he was on return democratic country does that only include latin america. i mean the democracy is a form of governance but i think what you can tell from mr snowden's. is that it's not just the election process as trade but he also believes it values stake human rights the dignity and sanctity of like a person's private lives and the importance of granting people a private life in order to usefully participate in a democratic proce

america. snowden faces espionage charges in the u.s. for disclosing a secret domestic spying program by the national security agency. >>> all right. now to the aftermath of the george zimmerman not guilty verdict. later this hour we're going to hear some of anderson cooper's conversation with juror b37.

many in latin america are furious with the forced grounding of bolivia's president evo morales is playing in austria and even twelve nations in latin america are coming together to discuss the consequences of the event the plane was forced to the ground while flying over the e.u. because it was believed that that sneaky snowden was hiding on board trying to get to asylum in bolivia and beyond some might say that this is no big deal some president of some contras since he had a delayed flight for a few hours things happen man you got to get that still guy at all costs right well one may have delayed flight is another man's imperial skyjacking you see the countries of latin america have a common history as being on the bad end of brutal western european imperialism and when the president of a former colony could just be abducted at the will of the you would have his plane searched it sure makes you feel like you're still under the lash of foreign control doesn't it do any of you think for a moment that any e.u. officials who are so willing to ground morality would dare to do the same thing

latin america united with their condemnation social media rocketed with claims the u.s. was behind the move and europe a puppet washington remain silent they have made a serious mistake because this is just one more example of the way things are going to be not only throughout latin america but throughout the world already where you have powerful hegemonic totally disrespectful towards the national sovereignty of all countries even their allies snowden's leaks help reveal how the u.s. was cold war style tapping their closest e.u. partners even when you expose the truth in even when you give it this truth to the people who are being spied on they won't step up and support truth so yeah it is a bit frustrating to see these european nations just kind of ignore this outright spying that's happening while searching for snowden at all cost and he's now a r.t. moscow brussels based political analyst pall over a phone it believes that the u.s. is attempting to become a self-styled global governing entity. the rules of international law have been. shaken. i would say since nine h

developing countries, latin america, asia, europe, nato allies, military neutrals, no takers. what does this tell us about the persuasive power of the united states? >> it tells you about edward snowden as a hot potato. when the music stops, no country or no leader wants to be the one left holding edward snowden in its lap. obviously the united states has made clear at any points to see edward snowden back in the united states before a judge and jury and has been successful, i think, particularly in this atmosphere, with leaders who are competing to be the american -- particularly in this hemisphere, with leaders who are competing to be the american antagonist in
