the twenty fourth senior winter games not stories coming your way. it's sunday morning here in moscow which means it's time for the weekly you want to see from the news team welcome to the program. talks on iran's nuclear program have failed to produce an agreement but hope remains that could be one in the future while world powers trying to push ahead france revealed itself to be the most skeptical in the west and calm alternately refusing to accept any short term deal. reports on the meetings stumbling blocks three days of talks here high level talks at a started off with a lot of optimism had ended with essentially no deal so we know that the nature of these talks were very important in the sense that the ministers who were here in town had dropped it changed their schedules in order to come here enjoy these talks
1:02 am
of the a lot of speculations that a deal might be reached but it didn't come to that to pass a law five you said the foreign minister of france was one of those who really was vocal about his reservations on b. initial text presented and the other in detail one of those a reservation as would be the stockpile that there's talk of the iran as well as the reactor that's scheduled to open sometime next year in iran 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 in a call and gave them this hard angered lawmakers in iran they were saying that france here really was hindering the talks and had blamed france even calling it blackmail on terror but what's interesting is when the e.u. foreign policy chief catherine ashton as well as a foreign minister of iran. came coming here to give their press conference they. were kind of upbeat and they were hopeful about the next round of talks scheduled
1:03 am
for november the twenty of them as i had said that he was disappointed and that he understood that something like this there would definitely be 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. you know william hague saying that they should seize the moment and 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 on the november the twentieth and some of the main sticking points on the table were a reactor that iran could potentially use to produce weapons grade nuclear fuel and how relief would proceed let's take a closer look at the deal the negotiators were trying to put together for you here on r.t. first according to some sources the six world powers want iran to stop all activities to enrich uranium twenty percent in iran would also be obliged to limit the number
1:04 am
of centrifuges and allow more monitoring in return world powers would unfreeze some of iran's assets and perhaps even ease sanctions that have crippled its economy. here on our to you we talked to. a former advisor to iran's nuclear negotiation team the things that despite the french resistance to iran has actually played its hand rather well. it was dissing the contribution of the french government to throw some monkey wrench in the process and managed to sabotage the deal basically this is a very a strong pro israel lobby in paris and you know there's a causal relations between paris and tel aviv there's no doubt in anyone's mind that the team came with good intentions with a detailed proposal and prove their good faith in their negotiations is nor died in my mind and minds of a lot of other people including millions in iran that
1:05 am
a lot of the responsibility for the absence of a deal tonight rests on this short of the french government before the talks began on thursday thousands were rallying in the iranian capital chanting death to america and burning some israeli flags as well despite iran's new leader pushing for a nuclear agreement many in the country are simply enraged by their government's dealings with the west. now investigates why. yes argile movie islamic republic of iran is ready to engage immediately in time bound orientated talks to build mutual confidence and the removal of mutual uncertainties hassen rouhani as recent speech at the u.n. general assembly was said by many to represent a thorin in relations between tehran and washington a sign of the iranian leadership is king to initiate warmer ties with the global community but not everyone is king for this to happen. hard line conservative
1:06 am
protesters threw eggs at the president upon his return to tehran and now those uncomfortable with the idea of increased diplomacy with washington have launched the first ever down with the usa contest the idea is to find the most creative anti us propaganda contestants are invited to submit photographs posters caricature poems hymns and blogs all relating to the slogan down with the usa over three thousand dollars are up for grabs for the winner there will be a prize for the best idea to mark death of america which will renewed the concept of death to america because of the arrogance of america the message is clear for as long as the us policies are hostile to us we will continue to use the slogan. well the slogan first came to prominence during the one nine hundred seventy nine iranian revolution when the u.s. backed government was overthrown and since then it's been widely used by critics of washington those critics now favor holly's willingness to reengage with the u.s.
1:07 am
could undermine the revolution they also see no reason to start diplomacy with a country that for years has portrayed iran as the enemy and subject of the country to harsh economic sanctions over its nuclear program states like these and their terrorist allies constitute an axis of evil this administration has systematically imposed the toughest sanctions on iraq on iran ever the united states is not going to lift the sanctions until it is clear that a very verifiable accountable transparent process is in place despite efforts by the us government to suggest the sanctions aren't affecting the general population food clothes and even basic medicines have rocketed in price in recent years on the leadership's attempt to engage with washington has led to the american slogans and banners appearing all over tehran in recent weeks with rouhani demanding many be taken down. r.t.

. it's a good to have you with us here on our team today on the way for you rest cooperation and indefinite detention. i love it it's a lot of people think there's not much to do but there's definitely an abundance to do smiles and sunshine stealing the show at guantanamo bay with no end in sight for that u.s. military base where hunger striking detainees continue to be force fed behind bars . are you watching the weekly on another diplomatic scandal blew up in the faces of european officials this week after a british newspaper reported the u.k. is operating a secret listening station in lynn to spy on the german allies i think whitman housed on the. embassy roof is believed to be able to intercept communications all across german officials are investigating the claims while their hands already full with reports the german chancellor's mobile phones been tapped by american
1:09 am
intelligence and european parliament member paul murphy admits there will be a diplomatic fallout but he says political interests will outweigh any massive backlash. germany and britain are both in the european union together they are meant to be part of a common political project and so it's more difficult for them to express the open and tiger doesn't that doesn't exist but at the same time i think what they see is going to have consequences it will deepen the divides between the. britain as represented by the government within germany. there is kind of star of difference there with britain more representing an atlanticist view of the european union obviously being part of the so-called five eyes together with the u.s. you know u.s. led was counted in new zealand and britain whereby they spy on others but supposedly agree not to spy on each other i think actually what would happen is that there's an attempt there'd be an attempt by the governments to so madi express
1:10 am
and give voice to the anger felt by people but then to try and put a lid on it because if you look at what's happening between the the e.u. with the us i mean there is words of criticism but then both sides want to get on for example with the free trade agreement between the two in the us because they see it as being in the interests of big business from both sides. in a world where everyone is spying on everyone else marine important spoke to one individual who's now created a snoops free online safe haven. we decided to open a data center and here we're taking an exclusive tour through one of the few data companies standing up to the u.s. government in the name of privacy i think we do residential access very well pete ashdown is the owner of x. mission and independent internet service provider based in salt lake city utah this tower here handles most of our e-mail unlike most power players in silicon valley x. mission refuses to give the n.s.a. backdoor access to its networks since one thousand nine hundred ninety eight x.
1:11 am
mission has rejected a judge in the u.s. government for more information stored on private servers like these we don't share our information about our customers if you don't have a warrant the majority of law enforcement requests ashdown says he's received and refused have been subpoenaed is lacking accountability and necessary approval by a judge this is actually an amiga since launching his company in one thousand nine hundred three ashdown says he's filled no more than two customer data requests from the federal government take care of your. money the current climate of america's unrestrained surveillance matrix has been facilitated by corporations who have spent years secretly working with the n.s.a. regulation government contracts and. monetary. compensation are in my opinion the three reasons why they're cooperating ironically utah is probably
1:12 am
the most unlikely home for a privacy champion roughly twenty seven miles away from x. mission. is the n.s.a.'s newly constructed one point five billion dollar data center i think it's a stain on the tech industry of utah all the n.s.a. activities are a stain on american internet businesses ashdown has vowed to face jail time if that's what's needed to protect his customers from being monitored what surprises this fourth amendment advocate. is that big data companies like google won't promise to do the same marina porton i r r t you tom and we're coming to you live from the russian capital sharing via lympics spirit with outer space of a symbol of russia's twenty fourteen winter games it's been taken on his first ever space walk on seasons in france was a mission control 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 the cosmonauts
1:13 am
through the steps of making it all the way around the international space station with the torch in hand so it's a again a leg of 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 assess before it heads back down to earth with a three person crew on my 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
1:14 am
will be bringing you all the live developments of the olympic torch right here on r.t. . still to come here on our team who is the most beautiful of the whole going to find out which of the. contestants was crowned miss universe right here in moscow that story is just a couple of. you got a lot of sneering and negative for your engagements here in russia especially public appearances with putin even though they weren't explicitly political you were just supporting sports. people whose. very adept is controlling the media example. do i think. you know completely telling it like you know i see you have the chance.

as the city of. dead bodies lying everywhere the red cross twelve hundred people had been killed by the cycling which could be the strongest in history to hit. the typhoon is now moving towards vietnam where thousands of people have already been evacuated from coastal. we are also. following. the program more than a dozen detainees continue a grueling hunger strike. deadline for their release of the closure of the u.s. military prison. went behind the. to find out how it all goes on. despite misconceptions give lho is not just a geo to be or not to be shot it's also a forty five square mile military base with no plans of going anywhere. full of
1:17 am
signs of the stablished american life it is a navy base and we just happened to have the camps in here home to the only mcdonalds on cuban soil a subway sandwich shop a starbucks and a taco bell you got busted vested financial interests there you go to starbucks and . all of these other places that help to set up a logistical support for the troops that are all over the there are about five and a half thousand people living and working on the base roughly half serve the actual detention center the u.s. government has been leasing this territory since one thousand nine hundred three for just over forty five hundred dollars curiously that is still the price today but it's said that the cuban government has been refusing to accept this money for decades the castro government said you know we don't want this lease anymore in the united states' position was that it's a binding lease and in the lease it actually says that it can't be broken unless both sides both countries agree to that that strikes me as a very odd contract so when territory that the u.s.
1:18 am
has occupied against cuba's wishes since one thousand fifty nine most officers come here for short term of up to nine months or longer deployment of two to three years far from home life isn't put on hold and you can't date certain people wait and certainly have if it's away from your like rank system then you're allowed to there's the don't tell an open air movie theater playing all the hottest hollywood blockbusters and a ticket bar to let loose after a hard day's work even though most schedules aren't that intense anyway we actually get quite a bit of time off like a man and we go to the beach and our activities for people to do m.w. are stands for morale welfare and recreation. almost every sport known to man is available to team get well on state of the art facilities. i love it it's a lot of people think there's not much to do but there's definitely an abundance to do. being in

a remote location doesn't even have to affect eating habits an all you can eat lunch cost just under five bucks and breakfast is half that price a downside though information or lack thereof or just has to be a lot of the t.v. programs broadcasting here are army focused. and internet is almost nonexistent the beast dubbed new stream a stand by some soldiers even so we're told those serving here are banned from looking at websites like wiki leaks for example once classified always classified. even if the information has long been made public there are other strict regulations in place to fun fact about guantanamo apparently a life of an. little more than a life of a detainee if you run one of these babies over the fine is ten thousand dollars. there's a very strict speed limit in guantanamo and it's a very slow speed limit and people say that that's that's all about the quantas
1:20 am
somewhat ironic at a place marred by human rights scandals officials make a point of showing journalists how well prisoners too are kept and thirteen here were now in a typical cell for a compliant detainee at guantanamo they would be allowed to eat. two piece here some head and shoulders shampoo the less compliant ones have to wear the orange uniforms and get only two books at a time because go to the other side so you can see the books detainees can't come in here but the prison or library lovingly displays the best of their art for t.v. crews to see a lot of pre-selected books to avoid certain topics violence sexual and religious stuff controversy shelves packed with magazines d.v.d.'s and video games plenty of ways for legit prisoners of war to pass the indefinite time they're kept here without charges and party guantanamo bay cuba and libya now where two policemen and a lawyer have been killed in the latest spate of violence there are security has
1:21 am
been shattered by a surge of infighting between rival groups on militias or all across the country meanwhile russia has asked the u.n. to investigate the security of libya's radioactive materials a stockpile of yellowcake uranium in the middle of the desert is held by. militia which has allegedly been approached by al qaeda with offers to buy the nuclear stand i want to explain to us what extremists could be seeking to accomplish. highly radioactive itself however we did see a uranium ore i.e.d. in india some six months ago and it did get hold of this yellowcake. it is potentially could be used in the a radiological explosive device or just used to terrify people it's not very toxic but it is radioactive and that would create a tremendous amount of terror if al qaeda got it everybody is is is terrified of radiation and we hear the horror stories for
1:22 am
a place like. where accidents to occur and yellowcake is radioactive it appears to be held in you know an unsecured store and although it wouldn't present a a health risk for very short periods but long exposure to it and certainly if yellowcake is ingested in your radium miners to suffer from a high degree of cancer from ingesting powders similar to yellow cake so certainly not a total surprise they're concerned about it and not happy to have it in their community on guard it september has been the deadliest month in iraq this year according to a leading database on violence in the country it's called the iraq body count and let's give you some details here on r.t. it puts the death toll among civilians at more than twelve hundred all adding to a total over one hundred thousand violent civilian deaths in iraq witnessed since
1:23 am
the start of the invasion in two thousand and three and it's the armed intervention that experts blame for the surge of violence and the rapid rise of al qaeda with around four thousand suicide bombers blowing themselves up in just the past decade a former u.s. marine and veteran of the siege of fallujah iraq he told r.t. about the horrors that he witnessed there. well a couple of the big facts that need to be known is just to kind of you know quantify the human tragedy that that was the second seizure of flu. anywhere between three thousand and six thousand civilians were killed the operation created about two hundred thousand refugees we destroyed two thirds of the city i mean really just like level it to the ground and this was a city with three hundred thousand inhabitants it wasn't a small city it was just massive massive destruction and incredible human suffering in there is really a strong possibility that the weapons that we use during the siege all the
1:24 am
scientific research that has been done on this topic so far is suggesting that those weapons have created a public health crisis in flu really serious public health crisis that is causing incredible rates of birth defects and children being born in cancer throughout the city incredibly high rates higher than higher than hiroshima after the atomic bombs even. well you can get across the numbers from the human rights watchdog on our two daughters you can check out our joint special project with the iraq body count online. now this week the global protest movement anonymous held a million mosque march in hundreds of cities across the world it brought together those concerned with online privacy corporate greed g.m. foods other causes as well my colleague andrew farmer spoke with american activist greg hoosh he believes what's right isn't always what's legal. one of my big pushes
1:25 am
with all of the kind of real world stuff we've been doing not the online stuff for me has been to get more people what i like to call activated get more people out there just doing something you know i don't even care what you believe i want you on the streets telling people about it in getting things done so i think this type of event is going to just help to get more people active in the system and i have a feeling that more people active in the system can only be better for the people gee fail anonymous might actually alienate people because you talked about the protests there which is fair enough but also they do hack websites and people could legitimately say when actually is not a criminal offense to be want to be part of this there's a distinction there you call it criminal you know what's right and what's wrong is not exactly in line with what's legal and what's illegal and so it's really up to each individual to decide just how far they're willing to go with their protests. now the glitz and glamour and moscow's sort to
1:26 am
a whole new level as eighty six of the world's top beauties competed for the title of miss universe artie's katie pilbeam she was there. they seated us twenty third seat has been won by miss venice by god is that the twenty five year old love to take roger it seems was because it's night lights sequins down the system of the sequester judges in the cars not the sequence as we speak about the big c. c. b. a c. the only other contest nights where that beat around to lol so you get all it takes move all the life i knew you will i love story of the mans i was. eighteen and it was the beastie boys all souls in the miss universe katie boxes she is indeed a lucky lady it exists that it is that we have to live is good will we have this even some of the areas broke up on the stage strumming the strings was old stuff
1:27 am
was it by the by go by they are out of we know this competition is was by one billion people from one to the north sea countries was it was. all right up next here on out see does boy know akido she better she talks to hollywood action star steven segal in just a moment. remember way back when we first talked about the first downloadable guns that could be printed out on a three d. printer at home while technology moves pretty quickly because british police have already busted in legal armory pretty out firearm parts and special three d. printers this technology may make gun control literally impossible in the same way that banning and burning books has become futile and the past they used to be able
1:28 am
to just burn books or forbid them from being printed but in the age of the internet all you need is a scanner and an internet connection and the information that's found in a book cannot be destroyed because it is out there on the magical ether of the air at so basically the near future any person with even half a brain and some patients could start making guns in their basement which means the gun control laws will basically become pointless because they'll never be able to catch all the people doing it nor will be able to take the guns not even obama or the hardest of hardcore liberals this technology could be the best thing to happen to the second amendment ever but i shust my opinion. on the welcome to the park it's a plot that seems unrealistic even by how the stand there it's russia and the
1:29 am
united states get so frustrated with each other that bad diplomatic communication it's got so bad many of them until one famous actor makes a couple of calls here and there on sas everything. steven seagal played that role in real life and he joins us now on worlds apart mr siegel thank you very much for your time now one of the first guests on the show was dana rohrabacher senator from california our who came to moscow in june and he was investigating suspects looking for information about suspects in the boston marathon bombing but he told me back down that that trip would have been possible without your participation how did you become such an unlikely cultural ambassador for the two countries i think dana and i a been friends for a long time and. he knew my relationship with russia for a long long time you know.
