to the police that some. of our time. we are not blind and i don't think we're stupid u.s. secretary of state john kerry right responding to israel as it goes on the offensive against iran off the high level talks on its nuclear program brought no conclusive results. as the u.s. and e.u. begin hashing out a key trade deal critics say it'll blow back on consumers and hand corporations unprecedented power plus. feeling toward successfully returned to earth after a historic trip to space and now the longest torch relay in olympic history is set to continue we'll bring you details.

of the program on a monday this is live in moscow with me roll for me in the newsroom thanks for joining us today the progress made in geneva over iran's nuclear program is in danger of being on a rival even before the sides meet again next week and no sooner had the car a negotiation is ended without an agreement u.s. lawmakers said they wanted to slap yet more sanctions on iran and it's all on top of an israeli diplomatic. aimed at killing off what it called quote a very bad deal let's get more now from. joining us live here on the program good morning to you paula what is behind the israeli criticism. well israel has reacted furiously to the prospect of any kind of deal the israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu saying that the impending deal is bad and dangerous those are the words that he used he says it lifts the pressure of

sanctions which have taken years to put into place and at the same time it leaves iran with its nuclear enrichment capabilities intact now that i know who earlier said that israel would not be bound by any accord and would do what it needs to do in order to defend itself he cited security as israel's main concern may see this as a hardly veiled threat that is what mike launched its own military strike against iran's nuclear program have a listen to what netanyahu had to say. it's dangerous. because it. has a nuclear threshold nation 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 interests of our country and of the globe and particularly of our allies like israel.

this recreate between the israeli and american leaders shows increased tensions between these two allies the u.s. secretary of state john kerry also saying that the u.s. continues to be skeptical of iran's willingness to dismantle its nuclear program and he made the point that the u.s. will keep sanctions in place until such time that the talks have reached a deal at the same time though u.s. lawmakers are calling for new sanctions to be slapped on iran and what this highlights is the urgency that many feel is needed for a breakthrough in talks with hearing from u.s. lawmakers is that they will pursue a package of tough new sanctions on iran so that happening on the one side while on the other side you have attempts at some kind of diplomatic breakthrough where you talk about some type of diplomatic breakthrough paula the deal this time around it seemed so close many diplomats hailing the progress that was being made what went wrong the geneva meeting. well the deal certainly did seem

close what however happened was that france objected strenuously to any kind of proposed deal that was on the table and they said that if would do too little to curb iran's uranium enrichment program or stop its development of a nuclear reactor that would ultimately traceable producing plutonium the french foreign minister strace that he would not accept what he called a weak deal with iran now the biggest obstacle appears to be the future of iran's control a new reactor at iraq and this could ultimately provide a nother route to making nuclear weapons the facility is currently being built it is due to be operational makes geo alongside this there are talks that are being slated to be held in the next two weeks and that it is in a bid to end this current standoff. live in tel aviv thank you. now the failure to reach a temporary deal is largely being blamed on powers whose roadblocks certainly took

washington while surprise iran's supreme leader rallied against this on twitter going against the french he described their move as imprudent and inept but political analyst saeed mohammad marandi he says the u.s. still has the upper hand in the talks some believe that the french are in chord nation with the united states and that's a sort of good. combination some believe that the french are this the current french government has 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 deal should be struck i think that the french will fall in line and about twenty four minutes or so it will be cross talk peter labelling is guests debating whether the crippling western sanctions on iran can be

justified or seeing that it's ultimately left the country's economy in a state of ruin. priscilla t. is in or do in south africa her on was not iran was not transparent according to the nonprofessional if you have you can pursue but you have to be transparent and. when you establish your you for you you will you put you build a place in order to enrich uranium so you it's this i think kind of command information but again i don't want to go into detail into the know but 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 it is the perception is is that the again the americans and it's a close our eyes hijack what do we mean by the international community and you know what they could even be by. in the name of the international community which would be an absolute fraud george go ahead. here's exactly. in the case of iran

the i.a.e.a. has never found that iran had a nuclear weapons program that it was diverting any. towards nuclear weapons program even the u.s. 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 real no basis at all on the law or on evidence. across or it's coming your way this hour on r.t. for now europe and the u.s. are in negotiations which they hope will result in a much needed boost to their cash flows they're sitting down to hammer out the so-called transatlantic trade and investment partnership the ongoing scandal could possibly tarnish these talks are all over except the story. the idea behind tough

to 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 take now to talk a little bit 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 politicians are saying oh this is very bad. but there is

no real consequence out of it you know how does that relate to business in particular if you will 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 the n.s.a. and all the spying is not only about political issues but also about economic effects companies are aware that. the americans take the results of this for themselves 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 determined by brussels this could end up seeing is that trade could end up determining the laws of the country how will it go down in germany let's face it. there's nothing else submitting the

e.u. can force to the. a lot of us corporate crissy they want to put. 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 that nobody on the streets once it we have all rights we have all the laws there working fine why should we submit our serve to the monsanto mafia they are the ones that are profiting from this three doing nothing else michael eros 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 and of the successful adoption of the agreement promises both parties substantial gains and the e.u. is a column e is promised one hundred nineteen billion euros annually from the deal with another ninety billion going towards america and the profits 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 e.u. but of getting rid of 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 also predicts a lot of corporations will abuse their right to take legal action against governments to push their agendas forward. corporate so from see it 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 of future profits has been diminished by a change in the just ration all by particular station already in place and i want to think will happen is that companies like monsanto will sue the e.u. food 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 regular oceans assuming they go through they will claim to have a right to sue the european union. but for moscow this is r.t. back from orbit the twenty fourteen olympic torch has returned so we're along with a crew from the international space station. has been following the historic journey. to 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 in our cars on thursday made it safely up to the eye assess nine crew members up there and then it was taken out on a spacewalk on saturday by two cars minot's we were here live watching and it was very exciting to see the engineers actually walk walk the cars minutes through the steps on how to get around the i s s with that torch in hand of course it was not lit but nonetheless the spirit of unity and sportsmanship was up there on the i s s in the form of that torch now we watched as the capsule broke through the atmosphere and that large parachute opened up over the skies of kazakstan as it came hurtling back toward earth with three crew members on board russian cosmonaut your chicken american karen nyberg and a tiny luca parmitano and right here in mission control and then when the big red letters landed flashed on the screen a huge round of applause went out to see the torch back safely here on earth with the three crew. first in next it plans to go to the 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. and still to come on the program here one off to you today a day to remember. for sure maybe how those are really kind of under start right for our new drummer out there have your song. british veterans are on a bar russia for helping win the second world war as you remember. across the globe those details in a few minutes. wealthy

british style it's time to rise from. the. markets why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy cars a report on our choose your language. actually we could with oh if. someone. could use the consensus to. choose your plan you. choose the stories but if you. choose the access to. there's a medium leave us so we leave that maybe. by the sea to secure in. your party

there's a goal. is that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from it's all on politics only on our t.v. . exactly what happened that day i don't know but a woman killed. piers later is when i got arrested for. for a crime i did not do. we have numerous cases where police officers lie about polygraph results. in people to confess to police officers don't beat people anymore i mean it just doesn't happen really. in the course of interrogation why because there's been this is like men know because the psychological techniques are more effective in obtaining confessions than physical abuse they were off taking they could do what they wanted they can say what they wanted and there was no evidence of what they did or what they said.

thank you for joining us here on oxy today a rescue operation is underway in the philippines after the biggest typhoon to ever hit the region has left parts of the country in ruin thousands of troops are now being deployed to help the relief workers who are struggling through mountains of debris a local authorities now say more than ten thousand people may have died in this disaster the numbers they get to be confirmed meanwhile the typhoon has already reached vietnam killing at least six and forcing hundreds of thousands to flee the coastal areas and high on is expected to move on to southern china where a state of emergency has already been declared meteorologist robert corell believes regrettably the region will actually see more super storms in the very near future . the city the energy in the storms in the pacific you're going out by

fifty percent over the last thirty years or so and this is largely due to the warmer ocean memory atmosphere so we're going to see more of the. very severe storms so-called three four five category storms. in some cases when the communication systems are very active we can give good warning to people in other cases when those there are not as robust it's very difficult for everybody to know it's 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 closer populated in order to minimize the impact into the world up there we go some other global headlines for you brief. the left wing protesters took to the streets in support of a no confidence vote against the country's current government and the initiative

was tabled by greece's main opposition party syriza the move was defeated by a majority in parliament and the debt stricken nation has been granted to multibillion euro bailouts already but there is speculation it's poised to be needing more. and separatists in eastern libya have gone a step further in challenging bureau storage in tripoli by forming their own oil a breakaway militias control the lion's share of libya's crude and now intending to start exporting it for their own needs the central government has threatened to take action and that's the oil facilities are handed back within ten days tripoli has been unable to regain control of the self-proclaimed autonomous region which does have its own shadow government in place. the main western backed syrian opposition group has laid out new preconditions for attending peace talks the syrian national coalition wants to moscow's to establish humanitarian corridors to

proceed to areas and to release political prisoners that the opposition is also stood for its demand that president assad steps down the syrian government has so far refused to accept such terms for. proposed international conference in geneva. before we get across talk remembrance day ceremonies have been held across the globe to honor the heroes on the victims of the first world war that ended now ninety five years ago other conflicts are also traditionally remembered on this day including the second world war as well and now russian and british veterans are among those recalling their cooperation to bring down the fascist war machine as our. reports. earlier this year the russian government was finally allowed to say a special thank you to british arctic convoy veterans who traveled to save the union with supplies cheering 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 bids the queen's subjects from receiving 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 closely it's been forged at a ceremony in downing street in june the russian president awarded the first twenty veterans. in russia we see all those who contributed to the fight against nazi germany as heroes and it gives me great pleasure to ward you with the medal. but what toward all the men him bopped on the freezing johnny through the arctic voices is still underway for the past four months the russian embassy here in

london has been working hard to track down every single veteran eligible for the meadow but let me show you the actual room where the 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 got some. really fell through as those people are writing from the hospital really thankful for this medal this was such great feedback and sometimes we even redwood's to use 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 whom is now eighty six say they thought they wouldn't live to see or too simple for recognition gerster grateful. to receive a new look in prior to the internet very far to where it was you know for sure i remember those are very kind of understood sort ready for our new drummer and often

have their son and jimmy's not the only one over three thousand veterans have responded to the russian proposal to award them with the matter. this is in no way the last chapter in a book which is about recognizing the war effort in both countries the men that braved the arctic wind to say they're delighted that russia and britain have finally managed to come together to decorate them for the heroism all those years ago. london. russians are rather fond of saying everything is possible in russia and apparently the same applies in neighboring belo reuss one motorist in the country getting a real demonstration of horse power when he tried to cross this road look at. why the long face thank goodness for dash cams you never know what's going to happen on those roads and. also what altie dot com right now some spectacular pictures from

indonesia event is a seven kilometer long column of ash coming out of mt cinnabon you can check it out in the vision section and r.t. dot com right now. right to see the. first street. and i think you're. going to. be in the. or i to riyadh now where 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 amnesty for the migrants to get their documents and check

earlier this month thousands of since been arrested and some african officials have condemned the saudi government for the crackdown human rights groups are also sounding the alarm over what's being called on the harnessed oppression in the gulf war that's. problem with the neighbors under the radius really the way to which the country regulates the presence of workers on its soil. oh and workers in the country are covered by was known as the sponsorship system 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 authority summary we access to international. human rights we're going to patients and the like and i think it's just difficult to get information out of it that being said i mean the crackdown that we're seeing right now is wide sweeping i think this is just the beginning of

what's going to be a long series of frankly stories emerging from the culture. we are approaching a half past ten on monday morning here in moscow it is r t for you today what else can tyrone do to appease israel and america for its alleged nuclear ambitions a fiery debate coming your way as promised encroached on. president obama despite being king liberal loves to flatter the troops he loves their courage selflessness and teamwork as he said in his state of the union address but he doesn't love are their expensive injuries which the troops are going to have to pay three times more for according to yahoo news the president's

administration wants to force military retirees to get out of tri-care their current plan added to obamacare the plan calls for them to raise premiums from up to ninety to three hundred forty five percent within five years one example provided by the free beacon estimates and a retired army colonel with a family currently pay. four hundred sixty dollars a year for health care would have to pay around two thousand dollars make you pay even more for your war injuries apparently that's what obama's actually planning well he is reading those lovely speeches off of teleprompters people who are against the post nine eleven war against who knows what are often told that they don't support the troops well to the people who say bring the troops home never advocate tripling their health care premiums no they don't all of the chicken hawks who send the troops off to die in questionable wars are the ones who want to make them pay even more for their injuries but that's just my opinion.

hello and welcome to crossfire all things considered i'm peter lavelle the phrase international community is often bandied about in western media as if its meaning was clearly understood by all in fact when western politicians and media invoke the phrase international community it almost always reflects the thinking and agenda of washington and its closest allies around the world used in this matter the international community is in fact a very small minority. to cross talk to term international community i'm joined by my guest george samuel in new york he is a fellow of the global policy institute of london metropolitan university and in tampa we cross to refuse the day he is

a political scientist and president of the international american council right gentlemen cross-talk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i very much encourage it my dad if i go to you in tampa when you hear the term the international community when politicians and you vote invoke it when western media says the international. says this or represents what it was that mean to you that's a great question peter i think you hear a lot the politician usually throughout the term international community and it's really varies depends on the context that you're using it but from my perspective the concept international community community is really too elastic to define it but for the sake of i think our discussion and our debate there are two main you can say definitively for the international community which are use the classical one international community includes all sovereign states all nation states independent entities.
