program expected to start any minute this is tehran stands accused of or accuses france rather of blackmail as well it's a seen as a crucial stage of negotiations with the six world powers after a decade long deadlock there are new hopes of a deal but now it appears diplomats have hit a stumbling block artie's tessera syria is following the events for us in geneva. from the very beginning this skepticism really has been coming from france in the beginning they just. concerns have to be taken into consideration if any agreement is indeed reach we know e's rail has been very uncomfortable with this with netanyahu the premier of these rail warning that this is a bad deal however right now francis suggested that they are all there are conditions that must be met by iran one of its main concerns for instance is the a process in establishing. a name and which meant another demand for france and it's been suggested by the for business or is the halting of the iraq you know heavy water reactor death something to do now aside from that there are also words

that were spoken by the foreign minister that might have insulted also the rain and because he's a lawyer five years had said that france didn't want to be part of a cotton game and that the final draft of final draft texas is too favorable to iran now the lawmakers of iran had said that sounds really has been hindering these talks that have indeed been calling it blackmail it hasn't gone unnoticed here in peace talks that france has been really taking quite a hard line from the very beginning some of server observers saying that even a hardline then via u.s. or the u.k. one western diplomat told the associated press that in fact the conditions that france is demanding are harsher than those that demanded by the u.s. and other partners did hear words for example from via british foreign minister william hague saying that they should seize the moment in order to reach a deal that it wouldn't the world for a long time those are quite quite positive words that we heard the u.s. talking about narrowing gaps when it came to issues well as it stands right now the

talks continue and there are suggestions from the ring of delegation that there could be a reception of the talks in about two weeks time robert horan i's a journalist and political analyst based in stroudsburg things france's position on a deal may be influenced by the interest of other players. but they seemed to take an extreme position all the time and there are a number of reasons for this the first is that they are play good cop bad cop with the americans obama is suddenly being much more reasonable in his attitude with the iranians the french are out there on the flank saying oh you must agree too easily israel must be protected and so on and in a sense that if you like. playing the game to american says so that they can sound reasonable to french channel on reasonable there is another factor which is that everybody knows the enormous pressure of the israel lobby in america it's not quite so well though that it's pretty pretty considerable in france as well. and

a slimy foreign semi official fars news agency things france is sabotaging a deal with iran to score regional points. the nice that we get from the diplomats of us and diplomats is being said that if france is opposing to the other which is being going to happen in iran and p. five plus one there are some analysis speculations on that why the france is opposing this one is that france has good relations with israel france helped israel to complete building the plants of dimona on the other hand france is having good relations with the arab countries in the region so in this case countries and is the. opposing any deal with iran. france can enjoy the difference between israel and add up countries with the us to strengthen the entire its ties with those concerts think of

a closer look at the deal negotiators have been trying to hash together this evening first according to some sources six world powers want to run to halt all activities to enrich uranium to twenty percent they could then permit enrichment at a lower grade below weapons grade level iran would also be obliged to limit the number of centrifuges it uses its demands also reportedly include more intrusive monitoring of tehran's atomic facilities in return world powers would unfreeze some of the country's assets held in foreign banks plus the west through would reportedly consider easing sanctions that have crippled iran's economy or bring you the latest developments as soon as we get them don't forget you can always catch up online as well to get up to the minute updates on the geneva nuclear talks. it's one giant step for the sochi twenty four games twenty fourteen games rather as the olympic torch is taking its first ever space walk as part of its record breaking relay across the world's biggest country artie's lewsey france reports

from mission control where she was there to witness the unique moment. well it's a very exciting thing to watch live here because what we're actually getting to see right now is down on the floor the engineers are essentially walking because minutes through the steps of making it all the way around the international space station with the torch in hand so it's again. it's his fourth spacewalk and sergei it's his first and of course he gets to be part of this which is amazing now of course the torch has been in space before once for the one thousand nine hundred six olympics once for the two thousand and six but this time in space it's actually going on a space walk it's not just inside of a shuttle or inside of the eye is that this so it was a big moment here when we actually saw the torch come out of the hatch attached to the cost minutes and make its appearance out in space the symbol of unity and sportsmanship being seen all over the world now the torch has a couple more days left on the i assess before it heads back down to earth with

a three person crew on a soyuz spacecraft again and so it's then going to rejoin this historic relay to saatchi for the kick off in february of the olympics so we will be bringing you all the live developments of the olympic torch right here on r.t. we spoke to the government as you carried the symbol of the games into orbit you can catch that video on our web site r t v dot com and of course we'll continue following the torch when it comes back to earth and continues its way across russia you can watch all those are the highlights of our two. delimit torch is on a big journey to such a. one hundred twenty three days. through two hundred cities of russia. really fourteen people or sixty thousand killings. in a record setting trip by land air and sea and others made. a

living torch relay. m r t v dot com. thousands of drones may soon be swarming across u.s. airspace mostly used for civil purposes such as firefighting and weather tracking but their presence is still causing concern among many let's take a look at the states from above these yellow spots that you can see on the map here are planes in american airspace and as you can see the skies are already very crowded and all around ninety thousand planes zip around the country each day so what will happen when even more unmanned aircraft join these very friendly skies or his guy takes a look. according to the u.s. federal aviation administration by twenty twenty there will be up to thirty thousand drones flying in the u.s. airspace not just by law enforcement and other government agencies but also by private firms all kinds of approaches to the f.a.a. game itself two years to come up night on how to regulate that brave new world

where everybody can fly their throw their designated six test sites across the country to see how it goes aside from very serious might we see concerns there's a danger of mid air collisions even now as the government has not yet allowed the commercial use of drones the f.a.a. is getting a rising number of safety complaints from pilots in march of this year and all the tali airliner made national news headlines when the pilot reported spotting a drone as he was trying to land at new york's j.f.k. airport back then the f.a.a. and the f.b.i. had little to do with the nation's into finding the drone the plane was flying over densely populated area when he brushed shoulders with a drone to the horror of the pilots of course or in a separate incident with the indianapolis five forty body. to load him in the opposite direction at a high speed. just to give you an idea of how concerned pilots are one pilot said we're concerned about birds we're concerned about other airplanes and now we're

throwing in something totally uncontrolled when they suck one of those drones into the engine of an airplane he said then it will get everybody's attention and one of the challenges is that drones occasionally lose connection with the operator on the ground that's a well reported problem but apart from accidental collisions there is another challenge drones can be hijacked by someone with very bad intentions so the brave new world of drones can also turn out to be a very dangerous one in washington i'm going to check on our team one man's laws could be another's gain is china sees opportunity in the arab spring forum beijing's economic shows into the middle east and. the africa region left for the taking by crisis and violence. not quite a royal welcome an outlawed political party throws rotten tomatoes at the dutch king as he visits moscow find out what's behind the anger after a short break. please

thanks for staying with us thirteen minutes past the hour now cyber thieves have pill for more than a million dollars in digital cash from an online bitcoin storage service hackers breached the host by manipulating flaws in the system that authenticates users but the incident has raised concerns continued concerns over security of the cyber currency bitcoin a digital currency stored on computers in anonymous web wallets so they're called can be used for online transactions or sold for any conventional currency bank's middlemen in tax agencies all cut out of the picture reducing fees but a lack of control means victims of thefts have nowhere to turn for compensation and the usual policing methods of collecting evidence and questioning witnesses less effective against online theft despite its drawbacks entrepreneur will you move things a bit point is still a canny investment. but what we see today in the world was a lie or crisis in greece and in the failure of cyprus is regulation doesn't work.

you have regulatory can't assure you just have system failure and the thing that makes a big point exciting for people believe it point is the fact that it's an emergent system if it does require regulation to survive it really wasn't as good as we talk . to the dutch kings visit to moscow has been marred after two members of the band at national bolshevik party pelted him with rotten tomatoes and said it comes at a complicated time for both countries as their relations significantly have been cooling of late or reports well a further unsavory incident putting go further pressure on already strained relations between the two countries now the dutch king and his wife were attending a music concerts in moscow when two men through what appeared to be tomatoes at them they were unharmed and did carry on with their official engagements now the two men who were arrested were members of the national bolshevik party which is actually banned here in russia and they could be heard saying as they carried out the assault the couple had the blood of alexander domata on the hounds now don't

matter of was a former member of the party who committed suicide whilst in dutch custody after being denied political asylum in the country and as i say the incident comes with relations already strained between the two countries the netherlands are actually suing russia at the moment for the detention of thirty greenpeace activists who were onboard the arctic sunrise vessel now following that incident a russian diplomats was beaten up in his home in the hague and that taken to a police station with no official explanation the dutch government later apologized for that incident that was followed by an incident which saw a dutch diplomat beaten up in his home in moscow by masked intruders the russian government apologized and said that they would hunt down the perpetrators of the attack now there's no connect connection between those events and today's incident but it's just. the proof and the signs really that relations between the two countries continue to be strained reports in the u.s. suggest the cia's been paying millions of dollars

the middle east has helped push up international oil and gas prices later this hour max kaiser looks at how it's the consumers who mail timidly suffer. many demonstrators staged a bonfire night burning of energy bills to voice their opposition to rising cost of fuel burning their energy bill is like burning your draft card you know during the vietnam war they burned their their draft cards burning your energy bill is similar in that you don't want to join up forces with the corrupt the big six energy companies in the u.k. their financial terrorism so if you don't want to support financial terrorism of the big six energy companies here in the u.k. you would burn your energy bill i said just get a thousand people on the millennium bridge here in london to get together and burn their energy bill in unison. turning now to some other stories making international headlines the red cross fears up to

guys are reported coming your way next stay with us here on r.t. . illegal immigration is a hot topic in everett always says that immigrants do the work that no one wants to do well let me explain why that is i would occur to start a vacation got into a taxi drawn by a former migrant worker who used to make a living in moscow he told me that he really worked hard driving loading trucks after five years he came back home and bought our house yes for the cellar that russians can't even survive on he was able to buy a house employers in russian america say that locals don't want. work are demotivated well what a margaret worker on a salary that could build a bright future one compared to a

a local who can't even make ends meet well you could see why the migrant workers are a lot more motivated let me put it to you this way if you knew that you had to work five hard years of some awful labor under awful conditions somewhere far away like brazil or germany what would be able to pay off a house would you do it i think you would let's not buy into this myth that locals and country x. don't want to work they just don't want to work and complete futility for table scraps but that's just my opinion. speak your language not advance the. programs and documentaries in spanish what matters to you. a little too negative angle is stories. that spanish find out more visit.

i'm max kaiser welcome to the kaiser report you know the president of the boston fed eric rosengren said that. morale improves low rates and bond buying will continue yes the beatings will continue until lorella improves so listen up you smelly consumer presence and rotting debt groans because the fed will continue to beat you to a bloody impoverished pulp intil you smile smile like we're all wal-mart greeters have they not been fired last year and spend spend spend like every man's mortgage debt is his castle smile and spend smile and spend repetitious like

a japanese sexpot or the abuse in capital destruction will continue do you understand i'm saying here the boston fed is saying that they're going to continue the financial beatings until morale improves this is very pull pot like very dictatorial like states here but what what's going on here well the saying is the beatings will continue until morale improves is often commanders in the military who say that to their abused soldiers and you see this in the with the central banks is that their command and control their authoritarian they're demanding that it's you the grunts that got it wrong we're doing the right thing you're the ones that are you need your morale improved now eric rosengren of the boston fed told the boston business journal that the fed is prepared to keep these low rates buying for what may seem like a long time now of course beatings often feel like they're going on for a longer than they actually did yet won't look they are saying that the low rates

and bond buying are quantitative easing will continue until a point in picks up. but this is really not the point at all for their bond buying quantitative easing that the point is to jack up asset prices for their friends in the speculative bubbles and real estate and in the stock market employment numbers are crashing because of quantitative easing because of bond buying so this is remarkable because just like some fricken dictator out in the go go land of nowhere is built will beat the prisoners and say you need two more realms got to improve we're going to beat you to a bloody pulp until you've improve morale or you know look at my beric over in egypt a former dictator that was one of the things he was saying all the time was going to be all you gyptian until morale improves and i've got these central bankers who are the dictators of our time saying we're going to beat you to

a bloody pulp with quantitative easing and house of purchases until you morale broods consumer and dented more on. well so yeah the drill sergeant abusing the grunts ok they often don't realize while they're abusing them that it is the abuse that is causing the low morale and is the fed's low rates and bond buying the thing causing the low morale the deflation that they seek to stop yes yes or is yes i think you put it succinctly yes yes and yes. ok well this headline suggests i am right as well because the fed mortgage market liquidity is as bad as when bear stearns failed and this is from guy hassel min of scotiabank and zero had quotes him as saying through its q.e. policy the fed by story dollars of mortgages for every dollar.
