where i can be near only weeks not with palestinians and israelis side or the arab league in paris on the sidelines so it's a ministerial meeting of cheating aides will have considered a minister only to know their courtship where we will consider how we have been seeing and i would like to underline it like my colleague that so the time doesn't wait was a little urgency has increased so it's a good in terms of the urgency of all there's progress in both israeli settlement. from reuters a question for both ministers do you agree that it's time to consider a more united nations sanctions against iran over its nuclear program and is there a date set for a promise to come and visit to russia this year. we haven't set a date yet for the promise of visit the promised mr lavrov able to discuss this this afternoon obviously we're working on

a date that is suitable to that of the president of russia so i know the date is not set yet but a lot of work is going on on that. and on the question of around. i do think it is important given the breakdown in the talks that took place in geneva in december in istanbul in january in which iran's said holy unrealistic preconditions i do think it will be important to intensify the peaceful and legitimate pressure around to negotiate in good faith about its nuclear program. the three plus three nations have worked together closely on this and of course we will want to continue to do so and i think it's fair to say there's a good deal of discussion to be had. only a three plus three about how we take this forward and about how we

increase the chances of iran being willing to negotiate about its whole nuclear program but certainly our position is that it will be necessary to intensify the peaceful pressure on iran to be able to take these negotiations forward. because. you're on the spot where iran is concerned what's the word used we got it is contrary to what the united kingdom in the famous of them during the last three crew probables this is going listen they were having a meeting of these two because it got off at the level of political strategy has got to catch ashton and this is the one presiding many times in istanbul with iranian representatives in trail of what we could knowledge of each any substantial changes bought her eyes as. as an advantage with all the day's meetings over there that probably some of us that it became the lips of lee clear

of us nurtures that we need to identify specifically would you land of movement you sit on the pole in the. good evening around when the premier completes them up with a specific guidance or a merchant later was no requirements then and that is that iran will know that they international community will make you need status for unicef the similar the bigger world a plan that was agreed on talks of the screen an insular new querist music programmable in two thousand and five in september there was a concept of action looked action for action and all the participants because you what will follow even the travel was a good step of the party to whom the question that duck shroom your question sort of the actions that were expected i believe that is a way of also graphs and as for sanctions i have two ideas that surely are the

first one group of the group three plus does this mean on the by the way here in london i think five years ago it was almost the same has agreed to approach the day with the security council with their global task that was literally able our lord zion's to say that it was that use it and it resources of their security council see. their resistance in the there's all the digits. of sanctions to support the i.e. requirements if iran were not to cause or reason with their eye in a proper way when it was put on today but that if it comes to sanctions if there is a need and that they can be used exclusively use its two administrations and persons involved in iran's nuclear prosper all of that but it seems that this approach sort of is a war is used to plant in their results and so there's

a cure to console and learn to desire to be on. the resolutions with requirements but with specific sanctions. and if you're in them to do the attentively when you push the water with damage your skin resolution one thousand was twenty nine in june last year and it's on soon to have their opportunity to impose sanctions on those who were not involved even indirectly to iran's nuclear program there are no longer sanctioned but your intention is for that sanctions to go along with you so that means in the creation of social problems for the book elation little window and we will not be able to support them and the second since who lives haven't for members sanction instance the good name of the home was taken so you know literally . such a central illinois they used to say the you tube were bad and i think some others it was a little slanted minds our joint work in the three plus three. undermines our joint

work in the security council of the un to go where you are because if we make your freedom look to you to stick to its collective delays you elaborate a position yourself we should know deviate all that in either direction as follicle illegal if the matter exists and wrongly it turns out that in the security council we have agreed a very usual you are a strong resolution that was supported by russia and so on and sharing government so that is just so direct opinion with all their members of the group last week who supported by the authority of the security council and after that washes up with little commuter. believe all the issues that our western partners wanted to include botulinum able to include they imposed unilaterally but it is not in the bag now like character and we have goals which it open late to our way of british german french she called legs but it was we believe that it undermines their perspectives

of our enjoyment with actions numbers unless we're interested in actions we believe in minutes but remember that your parents. we've got them by the from their principles we will be deliberated in the levels of the three blasts three groups and their security council which is when easy to find creative approaches open in the no god spoken about. their action plan action the haunch in exchange for action we need to talk to the divine girls who clarity that neuron nuclear program doesn't have a military component. yet you would see ladies in our final tarzan our final goals in iran should earn them the go build cars of the arab a member of the nonproliferation of euclid's to swear prince in cooperation with the f.b.i. agent because the more good when there are no more dollars if you like when they are you agency will say that they have you checked everything they wanted and they

had no suspicions that they run the program is peaceful it's in the bible and then iran will have all of them writing some of the book that have their non-nuclear members of the treaty ok thank you very much indeed. and they have it live from london the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov british counterpart there william hague addressing reporters after a morning of meetings let's run down some of the comments made by both of the gentleman there starting with the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov off he said that they continue to improve a broad range of economic ventures together between london and moscow level off saying that there are six categories of mutually beneficial areas that will be implemented between russia and england some of them are the areas of finance high tech energy efficiency small the to boost and to help small and medium sized enterprises one of the final comments being discussed right there with the

reporters out of iran and london and moscow both agreeing to cooperate further in keeping an eye on iran. for what you're saying regarding iran's nuclear intentions iran should join the nuclear nonproliferation treaty in accordance with the international atomic energy agency they also discussed working together more closely on the possible development of a european security treaty that must involve russia in some form of or another and briefly some comments there from the secretary of state of foreign affairs william hague they talked about a mutual foreign policy and security they agreed on a joint statement on afghanistan to continue supporting the afghan government through two thousand and fourteen and to help to work to prevent drug trafficking they updated a treaty on the hotline between ten downing street and the kremlin for no other reason than just to update the equipment and finally bearing in mind the prime minister david cameron will be visiting moscow sometime later in the year more

details on that on our website that's r.t. dot com. but the u.s. is cutting its next deficit budget with president obama saying tough choices and sacrifices have to be made but there's one place the administration doesn't want to make any major cuts and that's defense spending with numerous u.s. . military bases located far beyond its own territory. because he found out where american taxpayers' money is really go. back. home they are signs of american power and might. military bases spread all over the world just how many apparently too many to count what i've read of. thousands that means that us bases are subs and. there's more than we just can't be sure but what we can be sure about is that the us defense budget is now about

the same as no terry spending in all other countries combined and since nine eleven military and security expenditures have soared by one hundred and nineteen percent military expenditures in faraway places like new zealand colombia and japan and have you ever heard of the marshall islands qua jewel in the told specifically well the united states is there too and some locations serve dual purposes like one time obey and they're all sustained by hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayer money just how much money i don't get it. and is willing to spend and speaking of those miscellaneous expenses there are other reasons. i think i'd rather. golf courses and see live in ski lodges. that's a little bit actually isn't it and brian becker of the answer coalition says it's

not just the golf courses that are extra clearly there is no need and from the point of view of self-defense for the us to have military installations all over the world it's really part of maintaining a far flung global empire its place the us has a military base the us has political power economic power and it's a matter of. a corps in that isn't always welcome in fact usually breeds more anti-american sentiment for example in kyrgyzstan. we're living here and raising our children why do we need this us or an aco now where locals have to give up ten to twenty percent of the island to the united states for a military base that they associate with noise crime and pollution and take a look at this in the wake of demonstrations in the last year activists place this ad in the washington post trying to tell the obama administration that they don't want to base in their hometown all of the proxy governments that accept u.s. military bases in their country become vulnerable once the people actually start to

rise up and mobilize which they almost always do rising up against a double standard the u.s. would never tolerate china having military bases in canada in mexico in haiti in the dominican republic in other words in the countries that ring the united states the united states is the seven hundred pound gorilla it sets wherever it chooses to sit and choosing to sit down wherever usually means that those most affected by these bases both here at home and abroad don't have a place at the table for r t. you with r.t. live from moscow let's go to some other world news and proof now. north already use of captured a boat carrying thirty two people believed to be egyptians in the waters off the coast of sicily it comes after some five thousand and legal immigrants arrived on italian shores just over the past week alone rome has requested one hundred million euros from the e.u. to help deal with the thousands of asylum seekers currently being housed on an

of two thousand and fourteen in sochi you said in one of your recent interviews that time is your main challenge how ready are you does this mean that maybe you're afraid that you're not going to be done on time you wrote we just in the middle for wonderful journey to deliver the most in the way to ever olympic and paralympic games which will celebrate this period we knew more than russia through sustainable positive changes and we interim will inspire the wall and we can all weakness now really positive changes in the region i can tell you that three years to the games were in the good shape way deliver and everything within budget and on time so that russia will be prepared for the games at the highest possible level so you have test competitions going on in february on

the slopes in sochi how do you think they're going to be assessed the european cup will be the first international exam. with the presence of international olympic committee and i know that. from the i see it from claude killy the great will come to church the slopes. again i said the first test event well it's been one year since to vancouver olympics and what do you think you've learnt there and what are some of the things that maybe you're implementing in sochi the first of all we were very much. insp. it is a success reach over again as it was in terms of the creating the wonderful electric i would say atmosphere in gauging the mation around one positive project secondly we were very impressed with the great sports result which in

national team of canada team and this also was a great lesson flown from there and this certainly the proper planning is the key factor of the success and that is why we have to be ready for any unpredictable things like you remember what happened in. the region the which was secured for the snow for one hundred thirty years suddenly was suffering with the local small so we have to predict every scene and to be ready to deliver what we promised now there's been criticism that canadians bills to so-called white elephant and the bank or of facilities weren't being used enough do you fear the same thing about sochi where trying to be innovative from everything we created and submit it for the i.c. consideration sold it and sold. legacy plan will be with me

until after the games were and the rest some interest in initiative again we're trying to be innovative there are three even which will be disassembled and then move to another region and assembled over there. this month will it's not. temporary this is completely permanent meaningless but you can imagine how excited the region who are now beating to host the real lympics venue in this city which never host the game but that's the same thing they did in london right a venue that they had for the olympics was completely dismantle. yes but dismantled it means that there will be disappear but we'll be working in sort of a real sport to multi-purpose mean you. in the different region but in accordance to this seems a limp expander let's talk about the mascot everyone is dying to know what nascar

is going to be do you know it's going to be. who knows this will be the democratic election how does the process go. there are several stages of the selection of the mascotte the first of all it was a mission a white campaign and then really proud to say that this is the first time in the history of the olympic movement when all the nation express on the air and the must quote candid that their nation all does. submitted to the candidates more than twenty four solves and different pictures expect so much people to participate frankly we didn't expect expect that it would be a real national interest and we're very happy that it was completions between. your old caucus and the central part.

very eager to bream those on moscow it is a candid to be on the top of their in then professional jury. presented by most to recognize the respected representative from the league's sport science and of course culture and art selected the short least. eleven candidates they must quote which will be. submitted to the audience and the people will be. like for you revision is the same a pro. same system for those can do that which will be the most desirable who will tell the most interesting story and will come to the audience the police is elected me so it will be like that i know it's a different team but rochelle so want the world cup to host in two thousand and

eighteen did you advise them before they went to syria. we were not involved in the bidding process of to solve them eighteen. like any russian citizen was. very much in spite with great presentation and the fact that russia. had. a horse the first time in the history of. the bald cup and this is a great synergy between. big sports events which is now it's it's a trend that russia has been in we need a global sports events because sport is a national priority for our country and i will state leaders making the process of the successful process of the bidding and. use in the preparation for the big scale events the great is at the least it seems to be the rather.

smart strategy to develop for all the country. partners supporting said that everyone for the players and the participants of the world cup two thousand and eighteen these us will be wait now for the olympic games only the credit people will have that this is a free regime why can't everyone have a visa for regime for the olympics. i can tell you that. all accredited people of course will be provided with no entry visa so the host country this is mandatory for. in the host nation. for this big data. let's wait and see. it will depend on the situation in the wall but i can tell her that. we can all see the great progress for the

make him. approach this more simple to get to russia i heard this from my foreign friends that it's already well streamlined and. much more easy to come to russia now you've said that hosting the olympic games makes things happen what legacy do you want to leave to russians and to the world right you know everything we're doing we're doing for legacy and that legacy but the key aspect of success of beat. but we're not only talking about that so that you will turn from the summer resort to all the year round sort it's much more b m. works such as a project such a twenty fifteen words. that's a blueprint for all of russia. model city

where the most. innovative things could be tested and see it implemented all around the country and i can tell you that we can enjoy already a legacy in. three years to the games we can already conclude that we have for each . of the better free environment. model. where accessible environment for those who with disabilities now implemented into the russian law and it's compulsory for in the region for any new buildings or reconstruction to be implemented this is a greatest achievement for the country where. fifteen million people because disability is a challenge in every morning trying to get to the street secondly where in a way to. the region and we have

created a new standard in construction and from the beginning of our beat we aim to not only. protect the environment in the region but also in hence the situation over there and the second achievement we called the legacy now it's a green standard in the construction so very similar to the lead bream standard in the sustainable development and now in the construction in the country also should be done within very. strong. standard to be environmentally friendly and this sort of things it's also one of the great example that how careful in handling within the nature it's a wonderful example of introduced in all of the persian leopard the snow leopard in
