am in moscow i met treasure bring you today's top stories and a look back at the week's news it was the breakthrough that never happened iran and six world powers have failed to reach an agreement on tehran's disputed nuclear program france refused to accept a short term deal stalling discussions with iran's supreme leader accusing paris of open hostility negotiations scheduled to resume in nine days while american willingness to work out an agreement was criticized by its ally israel artie's policy reports from tel aviv. a delegation of high ranking american officials is currently in jerusalem where they will be updating prime minister netanyahu government on these talks that happened over the weekend in geneva and the progress that was made and wasn't made the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says that the impending deal is bad and dangerous those are the words that he used the
10:02 pm
agreement was failed to be reached this agreement of course coming between iran and the united states russia france germany and bush and now one yahoo however saying that the proposed deal will lift the pressure of sanctions which have taken years to put into place and at the same time it leaves iran with its nuclear program and its enrichment capabilities intact what is being proposed now is that. all of that capacity we are not blind and i don't think we're stupid i think we have a pretty strong sense of how to measure whether or not we are acting in the interest of our country and the globe particularly our allies like israel despite the fact that the diplomatic diplomats could not come to agreement the united states and its allies have said that they have narrowed their differences with turnaround in the talks that took place over this weekend the main difference comes from the
10:03 pm
objection from from once with france object strenuously that the proposed deal would be would do too little too could iran's uranium enrichment program or stop the development of a nuclear reactor that would be capable of producing plutonium the french foreign minister laurent fabius say that he could not accept what he called a fool's game the talks will resume in some ten days and then we will see a fresh bid to end this common standards throughout that we spoke with international experts who shared their thoughts on the nuclear talks in geneva. some believe that the french are very close both israel and the saudi regime and that they have a great deal of influence they are playing good cop bad cop was the americans obama is suddenly being much more reasonable and exactitude 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 iran says we're going to be more cooperative we're going to be
10:04 pm
more transparent. i to same time wants the out of sight to be more serious that they have to start lifting the genocide of sanctions those sanctions are killing ordinary iranians and in iran the slight warming of relations with the u.s. provoked a furious backlash take a look. at the hard line conservatives their fear is that attempts to engage with washington in venting anger by burning effigies and throwing stones at the former us embassy building more online and. a vast rescue operation underway in the philippines after the country was battered by one of the biggest typhoons to ever make landfall it's feared up to ten thousand people may have lost their lives the government says the figure can't be confirmed yet. been named and that we still here is just a starving would be ok is heartbreaking footage is what some parts of the
10:05 pm
philippines look like right now nearly ten million people affected by the storm that destroyed thousands of homes in the worst hit areas troops deployed to help rescue efforts have been hampered by roads blocked by damaged blocked or damaged by debris the typhoon is already reaching vietnam leaving at least six dead there and forcing more than eight hundred thousand to seek refuge ion forecast to move to southern china where a state of emergency has already been declared yes meteorologist robert coral what could be done to minimize consequences from such disasters in the future. the intensity the energy in the storms in the pacific have gone up by fifty percent over the last thirty years or so and this is largely due to a warmer ocean warmer atmosphere so we're going to see more of these very severe storms so-called three four five category storms now in some cases when the communications systems are very active we can give good warning to other people in
10:06 pm
other cases when those are not there or not as robust it's very difficult for everybody to know that such a severe storm is coming so preparation is going to be absolutely essential and the countries are clearly going to have to make the kind of decisions about how they're close or populated in order to minimize the impact. if you've been paying attention to that little box right below me there you'll know that the two thousand and fourteen winter olympic torch has returned to earth after its a storied journey up to the international space station the capsule with crew carrying the symbol of the sochi winter games has landed successfully in kazakstan artie's lindsey france following the odyssey she is live at mission control for us here in moscow with the latest hello lindsay so tell us what was exactly so unique about this particular part of the relay. well this is the first time that the torch actually ever went out into space on
10:07 pm
a space walk it had been in the i asked this before in the run up to various other summer olympic games but this is the first time it was actually taken by. on a spacewalk it was highly technical we were here at mission control watching as it took place as the engineers here talked to cosmonauts through it it was an amazing thing to watch and now this morning as the capsules parachute and they opened up over the atmosphere and we watched this tiny capsule carrying the torch and we and the three person crew fall towards the earth it was it was an amazing thing to see especially when it finally landed and up on the screen flashed the big red word landed and everyone here knew that the three person crew was safe now that they're on the ground we've just been listening to. your he's the russian cosmonaut in a three person crew is holding the torch right now out there in the desert and of course. a lot of reacclimated to do with the gravity change and everything like
10:08 pm
that now also in this three person crew is american astronaut karen nyberg and italian luca parmitano. so it was a very exciting thing to watch because from this perspective the capsule looks so tiny and it's just hurdling toward the earth but everything is safe the torch was out and it was it was an amazing thing to watch also because he a lot of. we're wondering why the olympic torch has been taken i just can't like it was about the symbol of unity and sportsmanship that it represents no lindsey this is said to be the longest olympic torch relay in the history of the games and this only one small part of that really there's a lot more to go before it finally gets to so she tell us more about the rest of its journey. of the year while this torch made its way. to the i.s.a.'s and back another tour with with a flame was making its way through russia and so now that deal really will continue
10:09 pm
it's going to continue on to mt elbrus which is. an amazing thing to see what it's going to taken out there and it's also going to be taken to lake baikal and very beautiful freshwater lake in russia one of the deepest of the world and it's just going to continue through russia and make to make it in time down to for the olympics in february so this was quite a detour for the olympic relate to be taking by as far as the astronauts and cosmonauts involved are concerned when we spoke to them just a couple of days ago from the i s s it was well worth it for the simple of the spirit of the games to make it out into space right artie's lindsey friends live for us at mission control star city in moscow thanks very much for that update. while britain allegedly operating a listening post in the heart of the german capital targeting the parliament and

the chancellor's office it's believed the eavesdropping equipment is hidden in a tent like structure on the roof of the u.k. embassy only steps from the bundestag is apparently capable of intercepting phone calls and long distance communications across the city revelations based on league documents had a raw nerve in berlin has been trying to get washington to explain it to explain its tapping of uggla merkel's phone london said it doesn't comment on intelligence matters but u.n. stomper from germany's pirate party thinks the country knew its allies were listening it. the german government of course didn't notice what was happening on the roof top of the u.k. embassy because it's clear for everybody who looks at that building what's going on there but i think that the german interior secret service they are not allowed to investigate the l a's and this is simply because germany right now is such a class pot now of the b. of the u.s. and they want to become a first class partner so our government is simply selling our privacy and their own
10:11 pm
privacy to climb up the ladder in the face of the n.s.a. is far reaching surveillance program hardly any tech company can guarantee one hundred percent privacy artie's marina porton i met the owner of a small provider in the western u.s. who so far managed to stave off eavesdropping. 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 actors 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 unlike most power players in silicon valley x. mission refuses to give the n.s.a. backdoor access to its networks since nine hundred ninety eight it's mission has rejected a judge in the u.s. government for some 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. on 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 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
10:13 pm
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 port r.t. utah. later in the program we visit a place where you can put a price on human life. sucked about guantanamo apparently the life of an. little more than a life of the detainee if you run one of these babies over the fine is ten thousand dollars. you while life goes on for troops and civilians living on base if the u.s. military's one ton of obey outpost and i started churkin a special report from cuba later this hour. plus the arab spring in the dock the trial of egypt's ousted leader mohamed morsi adjourned on its first day we'll look back at what's emerged from the country's revolution. but first two

people killed scores wounded in saudi arabia's police dispersed an immigrant protest this amid a crackdown on illegal foreign workers launched by the government last week they're being rounded up by the thousands after the end of an amnesty deadline adam kugel a research director for the human rights watch believes employers in the kingdom have unchecked power over their workforce problem with foreign labor center saudi arabia is really the way to go in which the country regulates the presence of workers on its soil. all workers in the country are governed by was known as the sponsorships system whereby they are under one direct employer employer has an inordinate control over there beside you it is a difficult country to convert so isolated. so as to get a national or international human rights organizations and the like and i think it is difficult to to get information out of it that being said i mean the crackdown
10:15 pm
that we're seeing right now is wide sweep. i think that this is just the beginning of what's going to be a long series of frankly who are stories emerging from that country. more than a dozen detainees or may not one hundred strike at guantanamo bay protesting indefinite detention and alleged use of torture at the facility on the other side of the barbed wire civilians and military staff at the base enjoy the comforts of home as artie's honest us if you're going to reports. 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 signs of a 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 vested financial interests that 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
10:16 pm
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 server and territory that the u.s. 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 a whole 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 it ticky bar to let loose after a hard day's work even though most say schedules aren't that intense anyway we actually get quite a bit time off like a decent man and we go to the beach and there are as our activities for people of 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 a lot of the t.v. programs broadcasting here are army focused. and internet is almost nonexistent the beast dubbed no stream a stand by some soldiers even so we're told those serving here are banned from
10:18 pm
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 costs here a 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 quantised somewhat ironic at a place marred by human rights scandals officials make a point of showing journalists how well prisoners to are kept entertained here were now in a typical cell for a compliant detainee at guantanamo they would be allowed to eat walks have a 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 who's going to the other side so you can see the books detainees can't come

military ousted mr brotherhood president mohamed morsy hundreds have been killed and thousands arrested eating some to fear the freedoms and justice will never become a reality amidst this violence rights groups have little faith that the trial of mr morsi and other missing brotherhood leaders will be fair this coming at a time when there is a general crackdown against the brotherhood a very selective prosecutions on the part of the justice system looking only at brotherhood members with impunity for security services meanwhile the retrial of egypt's other ousted president hosni mubarak drags on the feeling that the security apparatus continues to shape court decisions means egypt's future is hard to predict the military is entrenched in its own influence and so an interest again and again the problem now that we need to sit down and agree on a specific transitional justice either we're trying. or meaning who were taking the route to the south africa bureau who and many and many of the truth of it was

nuclear fuel way up in the air on that fuel pool given the seismic problems of a building that's been exploded are too severe so it has to be moved they get them the problem will be that we've got tokyo electric moving in and there's not a lot of faith in this world for the competency of tokyo electric there's no international oversight there and that's the problem it's tokyo electric is basically saying trust us when we have no bases to trust tokyo electric i think the japanese government is not telling its people the truth and what it really boils down to is that they're measuring the radiation with these radiation detectors in the air but they're not registering what these people are breathing in and the inhalation dose from the dust that's on the ground is not included in the japanese calculations so it's critical for these people to stay away stay away from these
