i'm. breaking news on r t that three day long geneva talks concerning iran's nuclear program end without agreement as tehran accuses paris of blackmailing negotiations . about yon on its way to sochi the two thousand and fourteen winter olympic torch reaches outer space for the very first time you follow the historic space walk from mission control. in america's already busy airspace sent to suffer further congestion as thousands of drones are set to launch into the country's skies we report on the possible risks. it's five am in moscow i'm at a very good to have you with us our top story this hour no agreement reached during

the latest round of talks on iran's disputed nuclear program in geneva after a decade long deadlock there had been the hopes of a deal but it now appears diplomats have hit a stumbling block are these tests are silly as well from geneva. three days of talks here high level talks at a started off with a lot of optimism that ended with essentially no deal so we know that the nature of these talks were very important sense that the ministers who were here in town had dropped and changed their schedules in order to come here enjoying these talks with a lot of speculations that a deal might be reached but in the end it didn't come to have to pass a law five you said the foreign minister of france was one of those who knew his vocal about his reservations on the initial text presented. in detail one of those arrests invasions would be the soft power that there's talk of iran as well as the reactor that's scheduled to open sometime next year in iraq he said he was not satisfied that he wanted something an agreement that was serious as and also he had

said something like he was not ready to get involved on gavan this had angered lawmakers in iran they were saying that flouncy really was hindering the talks and had blamed to france even calling it blackmail on terror but what's interesting is when the e.u. foreign policy chief catherine ashton as well as if we're going to serve iran. came in coming here to give their press conference they were kind of upbeat and they were hopeful about the next round of talks scheduled for november twentieth and those are repaired said that he was disappointed and that he understood that something like this there were definitely there will definitely be differences among the different parties involved but really it had taken quite a different turn from what was expected when we were hearing statements coming from foreign ministers of the u.k. william hague. seize the moment trying to come up with a very elusive deal but in the end indeed there is no deal that has been reached but again talks will be rescheduled november the twentieth let's take

a closer look at the deal the go shooters were hoping to put together first according to some sources the six world powers want to iran to halt all activities to enrich uranium to twenty percent they could then permit. enrichment at a level below weapons grade iran also would be obliged to limit the number of centrifuges it uses the demands of also reportedly included a more intrusive monitoring after iran's atomic facilities in return world powers would unfreeze some of the country's assets that are being held in foreign banks plus the west would reportedly consider easing some of the sanctions that have crippled iran's economy let's go live for more analysis to cover africa see abby a former advisor to iran's nuclear negotiation team thank you very much for joining us here on our team so it appears that there were high hopes for a kind of agreement a kind of breakthrough here but then at the last minute it all kind of fell apart what do you think happened there was based on the initial reports from geneva it was dissimilar contribution of the french government to throw some monkey wrench in

the process and managed to sabotage to deal basically and the whole french media with serious questions from if i abuse and how it is asked to play such as the lives ruled lend-lease could have been a golden opportunity to strike a deal and put a lot arlington national to assist and although i'm not privy to all the details of the negotiation there is no dog in my mind and minds of a lot of why do people including millions in iran that a lot of dubious sponsibility for the absence of a deal tonight responded sure of the french government why do you think france if it's true that they did provide a stumbling block to this whole thing did so. why i can only a speculate about some reasons obviously this is a very a strong pro israel lobbying in paris and you know that there's a causal relations between paris and tel aviv and there could be other reasons that

we don't know about as to why you know paris decided all of a sudden to play such a negative role and come with a big break break your intention to this to this meeting that could have resulted in a joint statement and an announcement of a mutually satisfactory deal in light of the initial draft that was prepared until mr fabulous arrived with negativities so you know i think there's a lot of unknown about the hidden french motive into this does it surprise you that france is taking a harder line toward iran in this case than washington is well traditionally france has taken a harder line and washington over the past few years and we also saw that france was very gone call about military strike against syria just you know a couple of months ago and need this kind of you know away how. hardline approach

by france has has not paid dividends for them and we've seen that in the gambit in mali and so forth and it will not pay off for them in this scenario eden and i hope that in the coming days and weeks and is supposed to be a follow of some twelve days from now in geneva there's a serious reconsideration of this very unproductive a negative a stance by the french government so you have something of an inside look at the at least the iranian team that's taking part in these negotiations do you think that there could be a mutually satisfactory conclusion from all these negotiations when that is done. absolutely and we just heard secretary kerry describe these talks as significant and significant progress having been made and i'm sure that secretary kerry has his own private opinions about the negative role that the french played there is no

doubt in anyone's mind that damian team came with good intentions with a detailed proposal and prove their good faith in their negotiations and hardly any of that can be said about the french role and i can hardly you know hold back in the words of the french tonight but you know there's been progress made and when these extraordinary three days of started the bottle of diplomacy was a water field now it's more than half feel so overall the bottle is more than half full rather than half empty and hopefully in the next few days and week or so will come to our satisfactory conclusion of this process that president rouhani has made these overtures toward diplomacy especially with the six powers how long do you think that window of opportunity will remain open for these negotiations. well

you know that's a very interesting question and i seriously don't have a very definitive answer for that because there is the issue of the meaning and patience because you know a lot of iranians feel that they've been subjected to these unjust sanctions that in many many people including legal experts some even in the united states the unilateral sanctions especially are illegal from the prism of international law because they're far beyond the scope of the u.n. sanctions and the legality with respect to the european union sanghas have been a struck down by the european courts themselves so you know how long the iranians would remain silent and where these pressures because a lot of people think that we are seeing the whole iraq scenario being exercised on iran again if you recall you know years of sanctions on iran before then eventually illegal invasion in two thousand and three and iran is not about to let that happen

to it you know and no iran has come with good faith put forth a very practical and pragmatic package of proposals to end this and the syrian crisis and a lot of countries involved have agreed to that russia's position is certainly very close to iran and even england you know was pushing for a deal this weekend and yet paris for whatever reason that a lot of it has nothing to do with proliferation concerns and some of it is on regional ambitions and the destructive role that has been playing in syria and elsewhere decided to throw the monkey wrench into if we do the process all right we have to leave it there for a c.r.b. thank you very much for your time and expertise we have more reaction online and i'm there for you as we bring you more information as we get it here on r.t. . a giant step for a giant step for the sochi two thousand and fourteen winter games the olympic torch

has taken its first ever space walk as part of its record breaking relay ortiz losing friends has more from mission control. but 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 minot's through the steps of making it all the way around the international space station with the torch in hand so it's again. if it's his fourth spacewalk and sergei it's his first 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 s s before it heads back down to earth with a three person crew on nicely is 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 of the live developments of the olympic torch right here on r.t. . we spoke to the cosmonauts who carried the symbol of the games into orbit you can catch that video on our website r.t. dot com and of course we'll continue following the torch when it comes back to earth and continues its way across the world's biggest country watch all the highlights live here on our t.v. dot com. delimit torch is on its epic journey to such. one hundred twenty three days. through two hundred towns and cities of russia. really fourteen people. or sixty thousand killing. in

a record setting trip by land air. and others made. a living torch relay. on the dock. 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 take a look at the states from above and we're going to show you is zoom in on the u.s. here and all these little yellow dots that you see are all planes in the sky as you can see the skies 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 he's guided 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 for all kinds of purposes so the f.a.a.

game itself two years to come up with ideas 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 i would see concerns there's a danger of meet 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 during a separate incident in the indianapolis five for the 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 who are 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 report on beijing's economic charge to the middle east and north africa region left for the taking by crisis in violence plus. not exactly rolling out the red carpet and outlawed political party throwing rotten tomatoes at the dutch king as he visits moscow to find out what's behind their anger and. eighty six gorgeous

seventeen minutes past the hour cyber thieves have pilfered more than a million dollars in digital money from an online bitcoin storage service hackers breached the host by manipulating flaws in the system that authenticates the users the incident has raised concerns over the continued security of bitcoins as a cyber currency well the digital currency is stored in computers in anonymous

so-called web wallets they can use for online transactions or sold for any conventional currency banks middlemen in tax agencies all cut out reducing fees but the lack of control means victims of thefts have nowhere to turn for compensation plus the usual policing methods of collecting evidence and questioning witnesses less effective against online theft despite drawbacks though entrepreneur william moved believes bitcoin is still a canny investment what we see today in the world was a life or crisis in greece and in the failure of cyprus is regulation doesn't work . you have regulatory you can assure you just have system failure and the thing that makes a big point exciting for people who believe a bit point is the fact that it's an emergent system if it does require regulation it's just that it really wasn't as good as he thought. the dutch kings visit to moscow has been marred after two members of the bad national bolshevik party pelted

him with rotten tomatoes and said it comes at a complicated time for the two countries after relations significantly cooled of late parties paul scott reports. well a further unsavory incident putting further pressure on already strained relations between the two countries now the dutch king and his wife were attending a music concert 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 with a couple the blood of alexander domata of on their hands now it don't matter of was a former member of the party who committed suicide was 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 on board the arctic sunrise vessel now following that incident

a russian diplomat was beaten up in his home in the hague and then 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 further proof and further signs really that relations between the two countries continue to be strained ports in the u.s. suggest the cia's been paying millions of dollars a year to american telecom company eighty and t. for that price the company allegedly provided access to information on its millions of subscribers spies could apparently browse through their phone record database including international calls germany and brazil submitted a draft resolution to the u.n. on safeguarding privacy and restricting mass surveillance journalist david seaman says the cia is violating the u.s. constitution. it's

a huge company that has its footprint all over the globe and they're just being paid to hand out this customer information is a clear violation of the fourth amendment and customers have nowhere to go because i'm sure he is not alone in this sort of practice why are they tracking the communications of private citizens who have no connection to crime or terrorism what is their real goal here if this is a form of i think a light form of terrorism where people are becoming afraid to use their own technology on their own devices it's really it's kind of orwellian and the explanation they gave for it doesn't make a lot of sense to me while the u.k. stands accused of being engaged in a high stakes game of hide and who literature officials of blocking and investigation into dating data gathering activities of the spy teams maintaining the probe would undermine national security or that online plus. the drone images can seem to make heads or tails of a brand new space discovery this six tailed objects spotted by a nasa telescope traveling through our solar system the details that are.

right. first rate. and i think that your. orders. this part despite despite turmoil in many post arab spring states chinese investors still doing brisk business in the middle east and north africa while u.s. and european investors seem to stay on the sidelines beijing's business men are taking these countries by economic storm reports even in crisis rock egypt there seem to be opportunities to before. this is north cairo where egypt's burgeoning chinatown has now planted its roots restaurant owner. says the chinese community

here is thriving despite the political turmoil. most chinese come here for study were to call you muslim chinese minorities i opened my restaurant recently i know the political situation here is difficult but it doesn't affect chinese businesses it's a good place to live as us egypt relations soured after american officials with the help key military and economic assistance in october egypt has hinted at cozying up to other super powers like china analysts say china it's more about its political expansion gaining clout with one of the region's main players rather than finance we have sixty three agreements i mean different kinds of cultural political egypt is sensitive country in the arab region and it is very useful to have good relations developing relations with us because we have a say in the region merging turn of the chinese embassy in cairo says although two

thousand and thirteen was a turbulent year for egypt the country's exports to china increased by a staggering one hundred thirteen percent we are happy to see this figure we tried to make more efforts. to reach the. one billion very small egypt's economy which had heavily relied on its terrorism market has taken a pounding after two and a half years of revolution and regime change and with cairo and washington and loggerheads it looks like egypt might keep looking eastwards. boccieri r.t. kind of my colleague having no one spoke about china's resource hunger with multi-millionaire investor and author jim rogers who says beijing is playing finders keepers across the planet. china is trying to secure natural resources all over the world africa south america central asia himself said the beijing success

is built on washington's failures would you think. well certainly if you look around the world you will certainly see there's a lot of truth to that the chinese have more or less. they're all over africa there by plantations and everything you know as america's got very low presence in africa now time is making inroads in the middle east and it's going to get a lot of oil from iran going forward it looks as though china may even start getting oil from iraq you know america says that they were a liberated iraq in the end it may be the chinese who get the oil unrest in the middle east has helped push up international oil and gas prices max kaiser looks at how it's the consumers who may ultimately suffer. many demonstrators stage a bonfire i 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 their energy bill is

similar in that you don't want to join up forces with the corrupt 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 international headlines red cross fears up to twelve hundred people have been killed as typhoon haiyan swept across the philippines the worst hit areas have been tacloban's and some are island more than four million people affected by the storm thought to be one of the largest ever to make landfall a typhoon now moving toward vietnam where thousands have already been evacuated from coastal regions. more than five thousand people marched through greece's second largest city fest a lot of the protesting new gold mines in the region are concerned about risks to

them for a minute b.c. put lucy in the. eighty five to see if indeed i am lucky lady this is the that we believe she's the we had this even sign of the areas in the book now. that's. it by the way my. only night at the competition this was by one the people from huntington the country for us. tonight. me that's right. and coming up a look at how different life stories can often united in surprising and unusual ways stay with us. illegal immigration is

a hot topic and everyone always says that immigrants do the work that no one wants to do well let me explain why that is i would occur just on 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 unloading trucks after five years he came back home and bought a house yes from a seller that russians can't even survive and he was able to buy a house employers and russian america see that locals don't want to work or demotivated well want to margaret worker on a salary that could build a bright future one compared to a local who can't even make ends meet while 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 in country x. don't want to work they just don't want to work in complete futility for table scraps but that's just my opinion.

i realized at some point that the goal of all my work and life was nothing more than about making money s. quickly as possible and they still would see what it was oh for i couldn't say i was an editor for a glossy magazine of the time it was written i didn't ok so i can buy another fur coat or a new car or even an apartment so what and thirty four i don't have a man whom i would like to start a family with. i knew then it was time to stop drop it all and try to find myself.
