we are not blind and 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. high level talks on its nuclear program conclusive results. as the u.s. begin hashing out a key trade deal critics say it will blow back on. unprecedented power. returned to earth right. now the longest torch relay in olympic history is set to continue we'll bring you details.

from everybody here and welcome to the program. with this i was told world headlines 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 a negotiation come to an end with no agreement u.s. lawmakers said they wanted to slap yet more sanctions on iran and that's. the israeli diplomatic onslaught aimed at killing off what it called quote a very bad deal details here now with. israel has reacted furiously to the prospect of any kind of deal the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said it looked at 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 have a listen to what netanyahu had to say that's

a bad deal. it's a dangerous. because if you. as 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 we are acting in the interests of our country and of the globe particularly of our allies like israel that's recreated between the israeli and american leaders shows increased tension between these two allies the u.s. secretary of state john kerry also saying that the u.s. will keep sanctions in place until such time that the talks have reached a deal at the same time the u.s. nor makers are calling for new sanctions to be slapped on the randomness of that happening on the one side while on the other side you have attempted some kind of diplomatic breakthrough deal so he did seem close what however happened was that france objected strenuously to any kind of proposed deal that was on the table 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 tony reactor at iraq and this could ultimately provide a nother route to making the nuclear weapons the facility is currently being built it is due to be operational next year 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. correspondent paula slayer right now the failure to reach a temporary deal is largely being blamed on paris whose roadblock certainly took washington by surprise iran's supreme leader rolled on twitter against the french move he described it as an imprudent and inept political analyst saeed mohammad marandi he says the u.s. at this point still has the upper hand in the talks some believe that the french are in coordination with the united states and it's

a sort of good cop bad cop 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 and i coming up in today's edition of cross talk paid lavelle and is debating whether the crippling western sanctions on iran can be justified particularly seeing as they've all left the countries of quantum in a state of ruin. priscilla t. is the name for the in south after her on was not long was not transparent according to the nonprofit interest you have you can pursue but you have to be transparent and. when you establish order for you you 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 you know i do agree with what i what i was saying is you know 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 do 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. crosstalk throughout the day here on r.t. but for now europe and the us are in negotiations which they hope will result in a much needed boost to their cash flows there sitting down to hammer out the transatlantic trade and investment partnership the ongoing n.s.a. scandal could certainly tarnish those talks as peter all over now reports. 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 to

a 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. 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 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 facts

german companies. take the results of the spying 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 you saying the too many rights determined by brussels this could end up seeing is that trades could end up determining the laws of the country how will it go down in germany let's face it this treaty is nothing else submitting the e.u. force to the. a lot of us corporate crissy don't 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 but nobody on the streets once it we have all rights we have all north 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 and 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 now the successful adoption of this trade agreement promises both parties massive gains and the e.u.'s economy has promised one hundred nineteen billion euros annually from the deal with another ninety billion going to america yet 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 the environment more polluted for the sake of more money but that's precisely what would happen is 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 of future profits has been diminished by change it in legislation all by particular station already in place and 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.t.p. regular asians assuming they go through they will claim to have a right to sue the european union. good to have you with us here on our team today back from orbit of the twenty fourteen olympic torch has returned to worth along with a crew from the international space station lindsey france has been following the historic journey. 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 three crew members of russian cosmonauts fyodor yurchikhin american karen nyberg and italian luca parmitano and 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 the torch has been in space before but it's never been taken on

a spacewalk and that's exactly what occurred it blasted off from the baikonur cosmodrome 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 that 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.o.'s with the 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 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 and 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. for on so still to come in the program here on

a day to remember the british veterans are on the by russia for helping win the second world war as remembrance day is walk across the world those details just a few minutes. it is obviously more for the ladies because it's paying. women wanted to avoid rate they really needed to buy guns environ how to use them i'm. sure this is the one that i want to go with them once again it's the fear. of women who are definitely the target of the gun lobby and you don't kill them when you're killing money but

if somebody would he would just prefer. i know to say more and more if that's really scary marketing tactics which implies that women have some sort of moral obligation times to protect their family and young girls shoot out here too so we do have a pink or. more kids young kids choke on food than are killed by firearms if being armed made us safer in america we should be the safest nation on earth. were clearly not the safest. i know c.n.n. the m.s.m. b c news have taken some not 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 closer to the truth from the 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 teen years we have to print. because the news of the world just is not this funny i'm not laughing dammit i'm not how. i feel about. you guys stick to the jokes i will hand over the stuff that i've got to. think. with the economic down in the final. day of the deal sang i and the rest it's a neat take it will be a briefly. it's

all t. if you today live from moscow to the philippines in that region we go where a rescue operation is underway off to the biggest typhoon to ever hit the area 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 now more than ten thousand people may have died in the disaster but the numbers are yet to be confirmed meanwhile the typhoon has now reached the vietnam killing at least six and forcing hundreds of thousands to flee the coastal areas and a high on is expected to move on to southern china or a state of emergency has already been declared a meteorologist a robot corral believes that the region will regrettably see more super storms in the near 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 the warmer ocean wormer 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 other cases when those are not there or not as robust it's very difficult for everybody to know it's such a severe storm is coming so in preparation. it's going to be absolutely essential. clearly going to be the kind of decisions of closer populated. parts of eastern libya to open up the world update where separatists are going to step further challenging the author already in tripoli by forming their own oil for breakaway militias control the lion's share of libya's crude and now intending to

start exporting it for their own needs and the central government has threatened to take action unless all the oil facilities are handed back inside ten days tripoli has so far been unable to regain control of the self-proclaimed autonomous region which does actually have its own shadow government in place. thousands of left wing protesters hitting the streets of athens in support of a no confidence vote against the country's current government initiative was tabled by greece's main opposition party but their move was defeated by a majority in parliament the debt stricken nation has been granted to multibillion euro bailouts already the speculation it could be poised to be asking for more. and the main western by syrian opposition group has laid out new preconditions for attending peace talks 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 on its demand that president assad must step down for the syrian government has so far refused to accept such terms for the proposed international conference in geneva. now remember ceremonies have been held all across the world to honor the heroes and of course the victims of the first world war that came to an end ninety five years ago and other conflicts are traditionally also remembered on this day including the catastrophic second world war and now. say a british and russians are commemorating each other with british veterans among those recalling their cooperation to bring down the fascist war machine and russia is there to give them an award for it as a report. earlier this year the russian government was finally allowed to say a special thank you to british arctic convoy veterans who traveled to the soviet 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 a legal snag that forbids 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 with dates back into the mists of time with queen elizabeth first in a sort of rather aggressive way said my dogs will only wear 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 where there 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 that man him barked 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 medal 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 writing from their hearts they really thankful for this medal this was such a great sometimes we even read with 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. him is now eighty six say they thought they wouldn't live to see. the record or some very stupid statement by robert forward to receive in this year's incarcerated the

internet very hard to wear right now fortunately how metals are forever and of our new start right for our new drummer and often have their song 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 man that brave the arctic when to say bed to lie said that russia and britain have finally managed to come together to decorate them for the heroism all those years ago. in london or there's always a much more for you on line including the belorussian driver finding it hard to write in his vehicle is it a bug is it a plane. now that's a horse and it's coming right for you. have a look at our videos on dot com right now thank goodness for dash cam cameras.

also while you're there at r.t. dot com spectacular pictures from indonesia is a seven kilometer. come out of mount sinabung and go some incredible pictures of the invasion section on right now. right see. first street. and i think you're. going to. be in the. in a moment women with the guns for now though here on the search for a two state solution to the israeli palestinian crisis continues with televisa closest ally the u.s. warning that building new settlements is in no way helping the ongoing peace talks

and later sophie shevardnadze speaks with the former director general of the israeli foreign ministry about the hopes of ever reaching a breakthrough. it their mold of settlements is evil which is probably irreversible and. the signal that the israeli government the sending to the palestinians to the rest of the middle east to the world by by continuing even aggressively to settle it is a very negative signal because if low the talks with a lot of it called clued in in agreement will preclude a peace agreement when we meet next time to talk with the palestinians in three or five who knows maybe ten years the volume of the settlements will be bigger

and the chance for a palestinian state smaller so i personally. do not understand what this government is doing i know that a lot of pressures from the israeli right to go on settling but deprive the bit we pay in will be ease almost for these. thank you for joining us here on r.t. today it is not a case of guns for hire but it is a case of on to the teeth and willing to shoot women with guns that's next when i say.

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 there 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 and 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 that a retired army colonel with a family currently paying 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 is actually planning while 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 will do 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. you are a. very hard to take a. look at that exact thing that make their lives.

for the people. in rural areas the majority of families living here are pro gun learning to fire is often part of a child's education the moral value of protecting the family is more important than the physical aspect where in south dakota. jack is five he can barely get out of the car in his own but every weekend his father teaches them how to shoot with real bullets under the watchful eye of his mother gretchen your occurs and stuff. your glasses down. the other. one.

jack hasn't been learning long and already he likes helping his dad set up for him it's just like any other day. i've been shooting since i was five or six. and i learned the truth. in our war. brains are we had in california and i used to go down and shoot every day after school i started shooting not turn i was probably a late teen. with brian he would go to the shooting range and he took me with a few times and tell me how to should have been doing it ever so i think it's important that women know how to shoot that they can protect themselves. the weapon.
