news from russia and around the wall this is the with me hello and welcome to the program big progress made in geneva over iran's nuclear program is in danger of being unraveled even before the science meet again next week no sooner had the current negotiations ended with no agreement u.s. lawmakers said they wanted to slap most sanctions on tehran dance on top of an israeli diplomatic on a slow aimed at killing off what a cold a very bad deal let's now get more from. live hi there paula so what's behind the israeli criticism that. well it wasn't so long ago that the talks did seem promising you had the iranian foreign minister meeting with the european union policy chief foreign policy chief catherine ashton and the mood in that meeting was certainly one of optimism but israel has been opposed to these negotiations from
5:02 am
the start saying that iran will cheat anyway and in fact israel has always been against iran's nuclear program of course as well the fear is that it will use nuclear weapons against the jewish state to essentially bomb israel the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has called these recent talks in geneva a very bad deal for everyone except for tehran what netanyahu says is that easing sanctions on iran would be like to quote netanyahu putting a hole in a tire on the other hand you have the united states which is close to negotiations of what was seen as possibly the most serious and mary-kate is radio standard and dispute in the years. it's. it's dangerous. because it. has a nuclear threshold made sure. we are not blown them i don't think we're stupid i think we have
5:03 am
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. john kerry also says to quote him that israel needs to recognize that no agreement with iran has of yet been reached and any kind of israeli opposition is essentially premature what kerry said was that the time to oppose any kind of deal is when you actually see what it is kerry is at the moment in abu dhabi now we did earlier hear from iran after the talks ended on saturday that it was in fact paris who was responsible for blocking any kind of deal the french foreign minister fabius saying that we don't want a fool's deal what we're hearing now from the u.s. secretary of state is that the blame is on iran's shoulder kerry saying that the major powers were in fact united on an iranian nuclear deal but it was the rain ians who were unable to accept it kerry saying that they were united front united
5:04 am
on saturday when the proposal was presented to the iranians but to quote him the french had signed off on it we had signed off on it but he ran wasn't able to accept the deal at that particular moment and that is a quote at the same time iranian state t.v. is reporting that the united nations nuclear chief is holding talks with iranian officials now these talks are on a proposal to expand the country's monitoring of its nuclear sites looking at the nuclear body be more effective in monitoring those sites inside iran now previously senior iranian officials have said that they sought a new framework for cooperation with the u.n. agency so certainly this is a step in that direction. paula slayer live paula thank you very much indeed for that thank you. the failure to reach a temporary deal is largely being blamed on paris who is
5:05 am
a roadblock took washington by surprise iran's supreme leader railed on twitter against the french move he described as imprudent and inept but political analyst said mohammed miranda is as the u.n. still has the upper hand in the talks some believe the french are in coordination with the united states and it's a sort of good. combination some believe that the french are 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 that it deals should be struck i think that the french will fall in line and coming up in today's can stalk people about when his gas rate was a crippling western sanctions on iran can be justified saying they've led the country's economy in a stranglehold. priscilla t.
5:06 am
is a name for the in south after her on was not iran 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 know it's these i think kind of command information but again i don't want to go into detail into the no 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 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 it. is the case of iran
5:07 am
the i.a.e.a. has never found that iran had a nuclear weapons program that he was diverting any. towards nuclear weapons program even the u.s. intelligence agencies have not found that iran is a nuclear weapons program so therefore this this use you as israeli policy against iran has absolutely really no basis at all on the law or on evidence. 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 transatlantic trade and investment partnership which would remove a number of regulations that currently create barriers to trade the successful adoption of the agreement promises both parties substantial gains get the profits come at
5:08 am
a price as critics say the agreement will put house security and environment regulations in danger but that risk is worth one hundred nineteen billion euros which the economy is promised annually from the deal journalist and also a mood explains the calls of the partnership that. 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 bee companies but effectively the public will pay in
5:09 am
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 he protects a lot of corporations will abuse their right to take legal action against governments to purge that agendas forward like i said 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 or by particular deflation 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 tee to regulation assuming they go through they will claim to have a right to sue the european union the talk sashayed you are to continue to friday
5:10 am
get bail going n.s.a. scandal could tarnish the discussion as r.c.s. based on of our ports. 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.
5:11 am
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 facts companies are aware that they are spy or to. 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 e.u. saying the too many rights determined by brussels what this could end up seeing is that trade could end up determining the laws of a country how will it go down in germany let's face it this treaty is nothing else
5:12 am
then submitting the e.u. walking force to the. of us corporate crissy they want to put a dictator 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 that nobody on the streets wants it we have all rights we have all nor they're working fine why should we saw our serve to the monsanto mafia they are the ones that are profiting from this treating nothing else michael and ross economic analysts like 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. or bet they twenty fourteen olympic torch has returned to us along with a crew from the international space station. or france has been following the history of china for. right here in mission control when the big red letters landed
5:13 am
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 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 and the torch has been in space before but it's never been taken on a space walk 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 cosmonauts 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
5:14 am
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. this is the only way in the program a day to remember. helping win the second world war as remembrance day is mocked across the globe all the details in a few minutes for you. is

obviously more for the ladies because it's pretty. women wanted to avoid rate they really needed to buy guns and learn how to use them. this is the one that i'm going to go with them once again as the field full of women definitely the target of the gun lobby you don't kill them when you're killing me but if somebody would you would piss with her. i've noticed that more and more if that's really scary marketing tactics which implies that women have some sort of moral obligation to own guns 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.
5:16 am
we're clearly not the safest. here watching aussies good to have you with us let's move on now a rescue operation is underway in the philippines for the biggest typhoon to ever hit the region left pulse of the country and were ins thousands of troops have been deployed to help of relief workers currently struggling through the mountains of debris local authorities say more than ten thousand people may have died in the design stuff but the numbers appear to be. fund meanwhile the thai food has a right away sharia plan leaving any six dead and forcing hundreds of thousands to flee coastal areas is expected to move on to something china why a state of imagine say has already been declared has had all the test of all but cornell believes the region will see the stalls in the ne of. the intensity the
5:17 am
energy in the storms in the pacific it 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 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 remembering the day ceremonies have been held across the globe to own to be heroes and victims of the fast world war which ended ninety five years ago other conflicts are traditionally also remembered on this day including the council's traffic second dual russian and
5:18 am
british veterans are among those recalling that cooperation to bring down the fascist war machine as also has pointed like a pause. earlier this year the russian government was finally allowed to say a special thank you to british arctic convoy veterans who had 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 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 mean 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
5:19 am
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 a medal. but what toward all that man him barked on the freezing johnny through the arctic waters 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 medal 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
5:20 am
a great feedback and sometimes we even graduates 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 to simple sugar recognition gerster straight forward to receive in this year's. inspired to raise their finger and it's very hard to wear it you know for sure i remember those are the right kind of under start right for our new drummer and often have yourself and jimmy's not the only one over three thousand veterans have responded to the russian proposal to award them with the meadow. 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're delighted that russia and britain have finally managed to come together to decorate them for the heroism all those years ago.

economy alive. the main western backed syrian opposition group has laid out new preconditions for attending peace talks the syrian national coalition wants damascus to establish humanitarian corridors to besieged areas and to release political prisoners the opposition has also stood firm on its demands that president assad steps down but the syrian government has so far refused to accept such terms for the proposed international conference in trinny. the central two state solution to these really palestinian crisis continues with tel aviv's closest allies the us warning that building new settlements is no way helping the ongoing peace talks in early november is road published tenders with the construction of more than eight hundred units in the occupied west bank and later so officials are now as it speaks was alone former director general of these really foreign ministry about their hopes of ever reaching
5:24 am
a breakthrough. the mold of settlements is huge and probably irreversible and. the signal that the israeli government is sending to the palestinians to the rest of the middle east to the world by by continuing even aggressively it to settle it is a very negative signal because if low the talks with a lot 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
5:25 am
a lot of pressures from the israeli right to go on settling but deprive us of it we pay in the will pay is enormous for this. and. now right after i stay here i want showing us in the u.k. are about to go out on to ground with actual returns say how i live here else weighing the wild about to get locked and loaded haul an awful. 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
5:26 am
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 it 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 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's 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 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.
5:27 am
if. sweden. is in agreement it will be called a peace agreement when we need. to talk with the palestinians in three or five who knows maybe damie is. the volume of the settlements we'd be big cheers for palestinian states so. this government is doing the load of bridges for the israeli right. these little school these. if. we will be that.
5:28 am

5:29 am
a firearm remains an inalienable right as important as freedom of religion or expression. and here we are on. the same problem or at a time. problem. paradoxically while crime levels have lowered since two thousand and five the sale of guns keeps on rising. the subject of american society with the pro arms on one side and i'm tired arms on the other. consequently each state has their own legislation for regulating the sale and carrying of guns the twenty seven states and. red on the map laws the twenty three gray ones are more repressive america is divided into. more and more american women think that being armed is the same as being free. single women mothers retiree's for them buying a pistol is as natural as do.
