we are not blind i don't think we're stupid u.s. secretary of state john kerry responding to israel as it goes on the offensive against iran. nuclear program brought no conclusive results. for u.s. . key trade deal critics say it'll blow back. plus . a return to earth. the longest torch relay in olympic history is set to continue with.

good morning on a monday it's now eight am here in moscow. and a very warm welcome to you from all of us here on the progress made in geneva over iran's nuclear program is in danger of being unraveled even before the sides meet again next week no sooner had the car negotiations ended i'll be it without an agreement u.s. lawmakers said they wanted to slap more sanctions on iran and that's on top of an israeli diplomatic. killing what it called quote a very bad deal. has details. 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 agreement was failed to be reached this agreement of course coming between iran and the united states russia france and germany and bush and they're trying 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 diplomat diplomats could not come to an agreement the united states and its allies have said that they have narrowed their differences with the

turnaround in the talks that took place over this weekend the main difference comes from the objection from from once with france object ing 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. right there now the failure to reach a temporary deal has largely been blamed on paris whose road block took washington by surprise iran's supreme leader took to twitter to rail against the french move that he described as an imprudent and inept but political analyst aside mohammad marandi he says there's a much more important puppet here at work here. some believe the french are in

coordination with the united states and that's a sort of good. combination some believe that the french are this the current french government is very close both israel and the saudi regime and that they have a great deal of influence but it's very difficult to imagine under any circumstances the french really standing up to the united states at the end of the day if the united states is adamant that it deals should be struck i think that the french will fall in line well still to come here on r.t. in fact throughout the day it will be cross talk with people of bella peter and his guests debating whether western pressure on iran can be justified. priscilla he is in for the in south after her on was not iran was not transparent according to the nonprofit you have you can pursue but you have to be transparent and. when you establish your your for you you you put you build

a place in order to enrich uranium so you know it's this i think kind of commander style information but again i don't want to go into detail into the know but i you know i do agree with you when i was saying is that if you look at how countries view the western assault on iran for the last few decades most countries in the world disagree with it very strong majority against it is the perception is is that the again the americans and it's a close allies hijack what we mean by the international community and you know what they could even be bombed to hell in the name of the international community which would be an absolute fraud george go ahead. yes exactly. in the case of iran the i.a.e.a. has never found that iran had a nuclear weapons program that he was diverting any enrich uranium towards a nuclear weapons program even the us intelligence agencies have not found that

iran is has a nuclear weapons program so therefore this this use us israeli policy against iran has absolutely no basis at all on the law or on evidence. by people who are joining us here throughout the day on r t for now though this week europe and the us will enter negotiations which they hope will result in a much needed boost to their cash flows they're sitting down to hammer out the transatlantic trade and investment partnership the ongoing n.s.a. scandal could certainly tarnish the talks as artie's peter all of our reports. the idea behind tough the transatlantic free trade agreement is to generate billions of dollars of business between the united states and the european union well it all sounds great however the amount of snags that this deal is hits over the time since it's been put on the table suggests that not everybody is happy with everything

that it would. get more about some of those stumbling blocks i'm joined by michael economic analyst thank you very much for talking to me now just over a shoulder over here just over your shoulder over there is the u.s. embassy now the john kerry the secretary of state says that the n.s.a. spying saga isn't going to be an issue when it comes to talking about trade but that saga has limited trust between the two countries how can you have trade when you don't have trust i mean. let's face it. of the united states what's all the buzz about it politicians are saying oh this is very bad they're spying on it. cannot be sure for nothing but there is no real consequence of it you know how does that relate to business in particular if you say one of the big giant german companies would you be willing to sit down with one of your american counterparts do you trade knowing that perhaps they were

listening in to all of your secret conversations of course and all the spying is not only about political issues but also about economic facts german companies. buy it and. take the results of the spying for them but they cannot do anything against it there is a potential legislative minefield that comes from this and also the potential for the stripping of sovereign rights lots of people have campaigned in the e.u. saying that too many rights are determined by brussels this could end up seeing is that trades could end up determining the laws of the country how will that go down in germany let's face it this treaty is nothing else. then submitting the e.u. working for us to the good of us corporate crissy they want to put to dictate their own rules to the whole world and also to the you won't have any advantage a dog this is all a hoax it's all a lie nobody on the streets once it we have all rights we have all laws they're

working fine why should we submit our serve to the monsanto mafia they are the ones that are profiting from this three to nothing else michael ross economic analyst thank you very much for talking to me there so the second round of talks on taft are underway but certainly still a long way to go to convince the people of europe that this is best for them r.t. course want to peter all of our right there successful adoption of the agreement promises both parties substantial gains and they use economy as promised one hundred nineteen billion euros annually from the deal with another nineteen billion going towards america at the profits to come at a price as journalist and author glyn moody explains it's based on the idea not just of getting rid of the barriers to trade of which there are very few between the u.s. and he. called the non-tariff barriers and those really amount to regulations

things like health regulations safety regulations environmental regulations and so the whole thing is predicated on actually deregulating the european and american systems so that's a very big assumption because people may not want to have their food let's say for their environment more polluted for the sake of more money but that's precisely what would happen if the father be fewer constraints and therefore it's true it will generate lots of money for the b. companies but effectively the public will pay in terms of reduced regulation reduced protection and that is never calculated in these trade agreements it's always about the bottom line of the big companies. and he predicts a lot of corporations will abuse the right to take legal action against governments to push their agendas forward corporate sovereignty is about putting the corporation above the nation it lets a company sue a country and they can do that when they claim that their expectation future profit is being diminished by changes in the display should all buy particulate station

already in place now what i think will happen is that companies like monsanto will sue the e.u. for billions of dollars because they will say that refusing to allow genetically modified organisms to be sold here is actually a barrier to trade and therefore their profits have suffered and therefore under the t. tape regulations assuming they go through they will claim to have a right to sue the european union. it is good to have you with us here on our to this morning i. talk about being back from orbit of the twenty fourteen olympic torch was returned with a crew from the international space station. has been following the historic journey now joining us live here on the program good morning to you. i've been really enjoying watching the whole olympic torch space walk maybe saying history has been made. that certainly correct rory the torch has been in space before but it's never been taken to space in the run up to an olympic games and actually been taken on

a spacewalk and that's exactly what occurred it blasted off from the back of our cars to tell them stay made it safely have to be i assessed nine crew members out of there and then it was taken out on a spacewalk on saturday by two possibly be revived watching out it was very exciting to see the engineers actually walk walk the cosmos through the steps on how to get around the i.s.o.'s with the torch in hand of course all you viewers out there should know it was not mix that would be in possibility in a situation but nonetheless the spirit of unity and sportsmanship was up there only in the form of that torch making its way around the i assess the look now we watched as the capsule broke through the atmosphere and that large parachute opened up over the skies of kazakstan as it came hurdling back toward earth with three crew members on board russian cosmonauts. american karen nyberg and a tiny luca parmitano and right here in mission control when the big red letters

landed flashed on the screen a huge round of applause went up to see the torch back safely here on earth with the three crew members also a round of applause over here in the news room lindsey we were watching it live as well and it was a dramatic landing everything apparently went exactly according to plan supposed all the all high flying a live picture which is back on terra firma but i'd imagine it's still rather a busy shuttle ahead. yes indeed it does now terra firma that that may not be exactly because next it plans to go to the bottom of the world's deepest freshwater lake lake by a beautiful area out in the eastern part of russia and it's going to go to the bottom of lake baikal it's going to go to the top of europe's highest peak mount elbrus and it's going to continue on on this longest relay olympic torch history and all the way to saatchi in february something that we're all watching and enjoying a lot but certainly this detour to outer space was something very momentous and

historic to see happen so the olympic torch returns from space it comes back to terra firma now though it's going to be heading to the bottom of lake baikal which i believe is the biggest freshwater lake in the entire world fascinating stuff thanks so much for that we'll see you soon. it's a quarter past the hour here in moscow let's shift our attention now to the philippines a rescue operation underway there now off to the biggest typhoon to hit the region left parts of the country in ruin thousands of troops have been deployed to help relief workers currently struggling through the mountains of debris local authorities say more than ten thousand people may have died in this disaster but the numbers are yet to be confirmed meanwhile the typhoon has already reached vietnam leaving at least six dead and forcing hundreds of thousands to flee the coastal areas it's expected to move on to southern china or a state of emergency has already been declared meteorologist

a robot corral believes the region will see more superstorm sandy quite possibly in the near future. the city the energy and the storms in the pacific by fifty percent over the last thirty years or so and this is largely due to the warmer ocean. so we're going to see. more of the 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 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. still to come on the program

here on octane that of migrant good solid b. also come under fire for a deadly crackdown on foreign workers are those details coming your way but the rest of the world's top headlines in just a few seconds. right see. first street. and i think you're. on our reporter's. instrument. in the. i know c.n.n. m s n b c news have taken some slightly but the fact is i admire their commitment to cover all sides of the story just in case one of them happens to be accurate.

that was funny but it's close and for the truth and might think. it's because one whole attention and the mainstream media works side by side the joke is actually on here. coming up. at our team we have a different press the fellow because the news of the world just is not this funny i'm not laughing dammit i'm not. but. if. you guys stick to the jokes i will hand over the stuff that i've got to. lead. leg. length. leg they just leave with these

economic ups and downs in the final at the among the london new york sang i and the rest look like it's going meet casey little baby every week long slender legs. the leg it was terrible they come up very hard to take out a letter to get along here there's a plug in that had sex with her right there looks let's play a. list celebrity

. of the. thanks for joining us here on r t today two people have been killed and dozens injured in the saudi capital as police crackdown on protesting migrant workers authorities have been trying to rein in the foreign labor force mostly africans many of whom are in the country illegally and the amnesty for migrants to get their documents in check ended earlier this month thousands have been arrested since some african officials have condemned the saudi government for the crackdown human rights groups are also sounding the alarm over what's being called unharnessed oppression in the gulf. with. the

radius really the way that 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 just whereby they are under one direct employer employer has an inordinate control over there beside you it is a difficult country to cover and so isolated in the. international order rational human rights were going to. the right and i think it is difficult to get information out of it that being said i mean the crackdown that we're seeing right now is wide sweep the i think this is just the beginning of what's going to be a long series of frankly stories emerging from. well let's get to some other global headlines for you a brief time for the r.t. now thousands of left wing protesters took to the streets in athens in support of a no confidence vote against the country's current government the initiative was

tabled by greece's main opposition party. but their censure move was defeated by a majority in parliament the debt stricken nation is being granted to multibillion euro bailouts already speculate. cash to keep its crumbling economy alive. hard to eastern libya now where separatists of going to step there and challenging the authorities in tripoli by forming their own oil breakaway militias control a lion share of libya's crude and now intending to start exporting it for their own needs of the central government has threatened to take action and less oil facilities are handed back within ten days tripoli has so far been unable to regain control of a sofer claimed or totemist region would chose its own shadow government. and the main western backed syrian opposition group has laid out new preconditions for attending peace talks at the syrian national coalition wants to mask is to

establish humanitarian corridors to proceed to areas and to release political prisoners of the opposition is also stood for his demond that president assad steps down the syrian government has so far refused to accept such terms for the proposed international conference in geneva. now remember and stay ceremonies have been held across the globe to all of the heroes on the victims of course of the first world war which ended ninety five years ago other conflicts are traditionally also remembered on this day including the catastrophic second world war now russian and british veterans are among those recalling their cooperation to bring down the fascist will machine and now reports. earlier this year the russian government was finally allowed to say a special thank you to british arctic convoy veterans who traveled to the save the union with supplies during the siege of leningrad the u.k. government gave its blessing for the veterans to receive russia's naval bravery

award called the medal it's the result of years of campaigning because of illegal snag that the bits of the queen's subjects' from we're saving foreign decorations it is very significant because actually generally people in this country and allowed to receive medals from other countries that is not the norm i mean it dates back into the mists of time with queen elizabeth first in a sort of rather aggressive way said my dogs were only where my colors but this is now being waved in the case of the medal and i think it's because of this very close links being forged at a ceremony in downing street in june the russian president awarded the first twenty veterans where he is that is the in russian we see all those who contributed to the fight against nazi germany as heroes and it gives me great pleasure to ward you all with a medal. but what toward all the men him parked on the freezing journey through the arctic waters is still under way for the past four months the russian embassy here

in london has been working hard to track down every single veteran eligible for the across the meadow but let me show you the actual room where they work takes place. with the help of the ministry of defense and its medals office the russian embassy has been busy writing to veterans and many of them have been writing back and we have. really found through those people are writing from their hearts they really thankful for this medal this was great sometimes we even read whose tears these letters because it was really touching it's a medal that many of the men that took part in the convoys the youngest of. him is now eighty six say they thought they wouldn't live to see or to civil service commission gerster grateful. to receive in this year's. prior to raise their children it's very hard to where they. were down the rows are forever kind of

understood. that our lives are over and often have to struggle and jimmy's not be anyone over three thousand veterans have responded to the russian proposal to award them with the magic. this is in no way the last chapter in a book which is about recognizing the war effort in both countries the man that brave the arctic when to say they didn't say that russia and britain have finally managed to come together to decorate them for the heroism all those years ago. azzi london we are approaching eight thirty on monday morning here in moscow it's odd to step aside now sir for sure but not say going off to a former israeli official on the continued land debate and treatment of the palestinians.

presence in the west bank despite the fact that's one of the main obstacles to peace talks prime minister benjamin netanyahu however keeps talking about his desire to find a solution to the middle east conflict but looking at the action and not the words does israel really want peace. israel. will both of those names ever share the same maps while political leaders struggle to even agree to hold talks about talks real peace is far from sight israel keeps building settlements while the palestinians keep insisting they want all of the land but. where is the nonexistent relationship between the two neighbors taking. our guns today's our lonely and former director general of israel is foreign ministry mr lee always great to have you with us today so you did not believe netanyahu wants peace with the palestinians any peace it would with concessions so

basically all speculations regarding talks and solutions involving this government is just hot air is that right. well i think the tonio would like to have peace but all he's terms and he's terms i think early acceptable to the palestinians so they would be nice most its meaning over the years everybody wants peace the question is what are you ready to sacrifice in order to achieve peace and very little people look many people in israel and maybe also in palestine are ready to sacrifice enough in order to achieve. it so you personally you don't expect anything to happen any steps further while netanyahu in charge i don't accept.
