details on edward snowden's international flight for freedom. the former nsa contractor is expected to travel to havana this morning. >> he has been able to successfully evade a u.s. arrest warrant, catching american authorities off-guard. our coverage begins right now with chief investigative correspondent brian ross. >> reporter: u.s. authorities were caught off-guard by snowden's sudden departure from moscow thinking they boxed him in hong kong. but officials there told abc's gloria rivera in hong kong the u.s. arrest request and criminal charges forwarded last week against the 30-year-old snowden were badly flawed. >> the hong kong statement cited a failure by the u.s. to prove snowden's actions were illegal under extradition law saying the u.s. failed to provide specific information saying, quote, there was no legal basis to restrict mr. snowden from leaving hong kong. >> reporter: snowden was allowed to board the flight to moscow
3:32 am
before the u.s. could address any problems. >> well, i would like to find out why our papers were not in compliance. that would be a big mistake by the department of justice. >> hong kong, either under the influence of beijing or not, should have made every effort to return him to the united states. >> reporter: snowden's u.s. passport was revoked not in time to prevent his escape on a route arranged by the wikileaks group. now not only has snowden evaded the u.s. arrest warrant, and defecting with four laptops full of the country's most sensitive secrets as he described to "the guardian" newspaper. >> i had access to the full rosters of everyone working at the nsa, the entire intelligence community and undercover assets around the world. >> reporter: in an abc news exclusive, general keith alexander, the head of the nsa told george stephanopoulos on "this week," there was nothing honorable about snowden. >> clearly an individual who's betrayed the trust and confidence we had in him, an individual not acting with nobel intent.
3:33 am
>> reporter: whatever his original intentions saying he wanted to help america by exposing secret surveillance programs he is something different as he uses russia and cuba to seek political asylum from the country he says he loves. brian ross, abc news, new york. >> it appears snowden is in the middle of a big journey picking a most unusual route. >> our coverage continues in moscow this morning where our kirit radia picks up the story. good morning, kirit. what's the latest you can tell us? >> reporter: good morning, guys. this very moment, edward snowden is to the best of our knowledge still at moscow airport. he doesn't have a visa. he can't leave the airport. his flight to cuba doesn't leave for another four hours. i say it is rather -- to the best of our knowledge. a bizarre, mysterious layover for snowden. nobody has actually seen him. but his plane landed. reportedly whisked away by a group of official cars that met his plane on the tarmac. we spoke to a few of the passengers on his flight yesterday, who saw the cars, but they had no idea snowden was onboard with him. it is believed snowden is in the
3:34 am
care of ecuadorian diplomats, who will escort him on the rest of his trip. we saw the ambassador's car parked outside the airport yesterday and chased one of the cars around the airport, another one of the diplomats, but he refused to comment. snowden reportedly spent the night inside the transit area at a hotel in the airport. again nobody has seen him so far again this morning. >> do you know more about the secretive way he was whisked away at the airport? it sounds like a spy novel. >> reporter: it is rather interesting. when you talk to the kremlin, they insist they had no idea he was coming. they had no idea about his plans. and yet, cars able to meet him on the tarmac. it does appear at the very least russians are turning a blind eye to this. they made it clear they will not stop him in moscow. >> thank you. abc's kirit radia reporting live from moscow. stay with abc news all morning long as we cover edward snowden's controversial bid for asylum. look for updates on "america this morning" and "good morning america." nelson mandela's health has taken a turn for the worse. the 94-year-old anti-apartheid

3:36 am
trial is a victory for the defense. like i said before, the judge is now allowing those jurors to listen to the tape and decide for themselves who they believe the individual screaming out for help is. >> the trial is expected to take between two weeks and a month. six female jurors and four alternates will be sequestered for the entire time. their cell phones will be returned once a day so they can call family and friends, but they cannot talk about the trial. texas lawmakers debated some of the toughest abortion restrictions in the country. more than 1,000 abortion rights activists rallied at the state capital in austin. to protest the legislation. if passed the bill would ban abortions after 20 weeks and would require abortions take place in surgical centers. those restrictions would shut down 90% of the abortion clinics in texas. a dozen wildfires whipping across colorado driven by hot, dry, windy weather. the most dangerous ones threatening a resort town in the southwestern part of the state where up to 1,500 residents and summer visitors have been forced out. fires spread to 100 square miles. winds have been erratic.
