it's a. we are not blind and i don't think we're stupid u.s. secretary of state john kerry responds to his role as it goes on that sensitive against iran after high level talks on its nuclear program world no conclusive results. as the u.s. and e.u. begin hashing out a key trade deal critics say it will blow by. corporations unprecedented power on. the olympics has successfully returned to earth after its restored trip just days from now the longest torch relay in olympic history is set to continue we'll bring you the details.

international news and called when live from moscow this is the with me. hello and welcome to the program. before i was made in geneva over iran's nuclear program is in danger of being a rabble 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 more sanctions on tehran that's on top of an israeli diplomatic onslaught aimed at carrying off what it called a very bad deal. the details for us so long ago that the talks did seem promising you had the rainy and 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 the start to say that iran will cheat anyway and in fact israel has always been

against iran's nuclear program of course israel the fear is that it will use nuclear weapons against the jewish state to century bomb israel. because it. has a nuclear threshold. we are not blown them 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 we did earlier hear from iran after the talks ended on saturday that it was in fact powerless who was responsible for blocking any kind of deal the french foreign minister fabia 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 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. unless i get more perspective on the iranian talks from journalists to. joining me now live from paris. thank you very much indeed for

joining us here at santi so how much was france an obstacle in these negotiations in geneva. franzen's involved both the. forum and the iranian nuclear program and would like to play her strong role as the main headline i for saudi arabia and qatar alongside her for a visit. some say paris was trying to score japan's cut point so not so it's interesting what does it have to do with iran's nuclear program after all. france is in europe and it could come to the round is. to its national security much more than russia hold the united states but france would like to play a important. as the main defense or of israel

and as specially the main defense or of saudi arabia was our cause it was more guns are. no longer is more so i would you know you go to continue the bargaining let's say this sunni shia are going to be. the european power who defends the sunni countries i but tell you what it's all the idea that france was just given the role of a bond to cope at the talks allowing washington to actually take the lead that. i'm thinking they have different ideas france was not very happy with what happened in the russian us deal the chemical weapons in. syria he wanted like saudi arabia committed to the solution and said here and in the bargain about the nuclear program. it is most

probable they won't do. to cope with the differences between their position and the russian american positions getting some gains from that you're going in. to but good for them and for the saudis but their situation and also we're hearing that they're talking that only about a temporary deal before a more plan and agreement can be reached that is this why france described as as a fool's dale. but let's see if if you stop the sanctions if the deal is complete this means that you have a new arrangement in the region and this means also that we don't something that we don't see for the moment that it has to be accompanied by

a saudi iranian and the u.s. should work on that and russia should work there no doubt because the deal on the nigger or problems of iran or the nuclear program offered means for me that a new ranger and and this new new regional means some kind of deal between saudi arabia and iran on all issues it's just positioning on both countries which is a board that means a deal which included bahrain. and even the stability of turkey. journalist sami. tell live from paris said mr isay thank you very much indeed for your insight. and coming in today's cross talk peter allen his guests debate whether quipping western sanctions on iran can be justified saying they fled the country's economy in

a stranglehold. priscilla he is in or do in south after her aunt was not iran was not transparently going 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. here's 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. towards a 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. europe and the u.s. are in negotiations which they hope will result in a much needed boost to their cash flows there sitting down to hammer around the transatlantic trade and investment partnership which would remove a number of regulations that currently create by areas to trade a successful adoption of their greenland promises both parties substantial gains yet the profits come at a price as critics say they are grim and well put health security and environment

regulations in danger but that risk is worth one hundred and nineteen billion euros which the e.u. is economy is promised annually from the deal journalist and also explains the cause 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 norm 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 and 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 count collated in these trade agreements it's always about the bottom line of the big companies and he for takes a lot of corporations will abuse their rights 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 changes in legislation all by a particular station already in place and i want to 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. to regulation is assuming they go through they will claim to have a right to sue the european union the talks to continue through to friday n.s.a.

scandal could tanishq the discussion as a piece only of oil or. the idea behind toughed 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.

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 and companies. buy it and. 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 the too many rights determined by brussels 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 this treaty is nothing else then submitting the e.u.

can force to the. of us corporal chrissy i want to put. the whole world and also to the you won't have any advantage of this is all a hoax it's all a lie that nobody on the streets wants it we have all rights we have all their working fine why should we sort of to the monsanto mafia. profiting from this three to nothing it's michael and ross economic analysts like you very much for talking to me there so the second round of talks on tough to do away but certainly still a long way to go to convince the people of europe that this is best for them. now from all the ads they twenty four saying olympic torch has returned to us along with a crew from the international space station. as has been following the historic journey for 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 cosmonaut. chicken 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 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 back door cosmodrome on thursday made it safely up to the i 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 causeway not through the steps on how to get around the i.s.a.'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 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. and on the way in the program a day to remember british veterans philip by russia for helping win the second world war as remember across the globe all the details and just a few. 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 use in this matter the international community is in fact a very small minority. right see. first strike. and i would think that your. reporters would. be in the. wealthy british style it's not on the front. of the. markets why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy cars report on r.g.p.

. and the says welcome bonk a rescue operation is underway in the philippines after the biggest thing to ever hit in the region left parts of the country in ruins thousands of troops have been deployed to help relieve was currently struggling through the mountains of debris local authorities say more than ten thousand people have died in the disaster but a number. i had to make a fund meanwhile the typhoon has already reached we have now leaving at least six dead and forcing hundreds of thousands to flee coastal areas it's expected to move on to southern china where a state of emergency has already been detected to gled material interests of all but cornell believes the region will see most of the stalls in the near future. the intensity the energy in the storms in the pacific and 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 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 remembering as de ferran is has been held across the globe to own behaviors and victims of the finest a world war which ended long to find his about other conflicts traditionally also remembered on this day in catering the catastrophic second war will washing and trolls are among

those recording the corporation to bring down the fascist war machine as pointlike i now report. 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 illegal 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 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 already there instead of 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 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 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 who are writing from their hearts they really thankful for this medal this was such great feedback and sometimes we even redwood's 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. whom is now eighty six say they thought they wouldn't live to see the truth and all that sugar recognition goes through the grateful barbara looking forward to receiving this year because they're looking inspired to raise their own daughter moved very far to where it was fortunately homo's are there ever any kind of under 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 men that brave the arctic when to say they're delighted that russia and britain have finally managed to come together to decorate them for their heroism all those years ago. azzi london. i reports lines of britain's spying activities yet again to

wind trees c h q i needed a split in all the professional social network links and you have that he's held online for you. and some spectacular pictures from indonesia seven kilometer column of ash has a walked out of the mount sinabung that's how in a vision section as also called. right to see. first street. and i would think the church. on our reporters would. instagram. i. am a little odd. and now some more news so across the globe this hour separatists in eastern libya have gone

a step further in challenging the all sources in tripoli by forming their own oil file breakaway militias can. a lion's share of libya's crude and a now intending to start exporting it with our own needs the central government has threatens to take action unless oil facilities one hundred back within ten days tripoli has so far been unable to regain control of the self-proclaimed a torn this region which has its own shadow government that. thousands of left wing protests and stooped to calm the streets in athens in support of a no confidence vote against the country's current government then you have was tabled by greece's main opposition party serious hour but their central move was defeated by a majority in parliament the debt stricken nation has been granted to multibillion euro bailouts already there's speculation that it will need more cash to keep its crumbling economy alive. the main western banks who were an

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 demand that president assad steps down but the syrian government has so far refused to slosh terms for the proposed international conference in geneva. also else can iran to do appease can iran do to appease israel and america over its alleged nuclear ambitions the fiery debates coming your way in crosstalk. president obama despite being king liberal loves to flag of 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 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 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.

it was a. very hard to take a. look at that exact thing that eric cantor.

the people. hello and welcome to cross talk where all things are considered. 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 manner the international community is in fact a very small minority. cross-talk

the 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 ruff is a 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 i very much encourage it if i go to you in tampa when you hear the term the international community when politicians and evoke invoke it when western media says the international community says this or represents what it was that mean to you that's a great question peter i think you hear a lot of the politicians usually throw out 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 to elastic to define it but for the sake of i think our discussion and our debate there are two main you can say to finish.
