"Edward Snowden was interviewed for German television in late January. The interview took place in Russia, and while most western media outlets seem to be showing a 15-minute version, full 30-minute versions are available from LiveLeak and the Internet Archive.

The transcript is available from the broadcaster (NDR)."

    I've now listened to the video embedded in the NDR page linked from the summary (it says "Germany only" beyond the video, so you probably cannot get it) and at the same time reading the comparison PDF. The German version is very close to the transcript (I think it's close enough that the few small deviations are genuine mistakes — in no case I did recognize a changed meaning). Where the Australian version differs from the German one in the formulation, the German transcript formulation always is the one appearing in the video.

    Also note that the larger "added" text passages in the Australian version indeed all appear in the neighbouring yellow blocks, so they are not really additions.
