It seems that apt has problems with your internet connection.
Are you using a proxy for accessing the internet?
What is the output of the commands
uname -a
echo $http_proxy
echo $ftp_proxy
sudo grep -R proxy /etc/apt/*
grep -s proxy /etc/environment /etc/bash.bashrc ~/.bashrc
(mask usernames and passwords in case that they would be shown by these commands)

Do you need this proxy definition?
Do you also use such proxy for web browsers?
Does the proxy server require authentication?

Yes!
The server requires authentication..

In that case I assume that you have to provide the authentication information in the proxy definition
You could try changing the proxy definition in /etc/apt/apt.conf from
