we are not blind and i don't think we're stupid the u.s. shrugs off israel's condemnation of a proposed nuclear agreement with iran as tensions among powers store. and. big money or big trouble brussels negotiates a free trade deal with the u.s. that could mean. critics say it will ruin european democracy and make corporations more powerful than governments. are now the longest torch relay in olympic history to continue.

in moscow this is r.t. with international news and comment. on an agreement with the un's atomic watchdog which allows it access to several of iran's nuclear facilities including the controversial iraq heavy water plant but there is no progress in the latest rounds of talks on how to limit iran's nuclear program is widely blamed for stalling a breakthrough while israel lashed out at its allies for negotiating what it has called a dangerous deal. was it 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 the start to say that iran will cheat anyway and in fact israel has always been against iran's

nuclear program but 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 pro these negotiations and what we're seeing is possibly the most serious american israeli standoff and dispute in the years. it's dangerous. because it. has a nuclear threshold nation 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 john kerry also says to quote him that israel needs to recognize that no agreement with iran has of yet been reached on any kind of israeli opposition is essentially premature what kerry stated was that the time to oppose any kind of deal is when you actually see

what it is now we did earlier hear from iran after the talks aimed it on saturday that it was in fact paris 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 shoulders 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 united on saturday when the proposal was presented to be a rainy and 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 now despite that statement by john kerry all sides have acknowledged significant progress was made over the weekend barbara slavin author and senior fellow at the atlantic council told me earlier that she believes that is due to tehran's positive approach

. it's iran that's changed its attitude toward the talks most radically let's face it this is foreign minister zarif who came with a new proposal at the last round of talks and who is very serious about wanting to get an agreement for him for rouhani this is a second chance it's what we call a do over they didn't manage to improve iran's relations with the united states and get a nuclear deal the last time they were in power and i think they're determined to do it now well lead role and supremely to recuse peris of showing open hostility during the weekends tools on twitter he called the french approach imprudent and then it bristled when told is that there's a number of factors that determine the position that the negotiating table. i was told really before the geneva meeting that the french were going to take a very hard line on the iraq that's a far a k. a heavy water reactor so that shouldn't have come as a surprise then there is the fact that from law and the french president is going

to israel this week he'll score some brownie points there for sure and then france has a very important relationships with the gulf arabs including the saudis and wants to sell more weapons so i think there are a mixture of motives. in crystal peter lavelle and he's going to debate whether the hardline stance of wisdom pals against iran's nuclear program is justified is a brief previously. priscilla's easy in in for the in south after her on was not long 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 know it's i think kind of commander information but again i don't want to go into detail into the know but i agree with what i what 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 they again the americans and it's a close allies hijack what we mean by the international community and you know what they could even be bombed to hell in the name of the international community which would be an absolute fraud george go ahead. yes exactly. in the case of iran the i.a.e.a. has never found that iran had a nuclear weapons program that he was diverting any. towards nuclear weapons program even the us intelligence agencies have not found that iran is has a nuclear weapons program so therefore this us israeli policy against iran has absolutely real no basis at all on the law or on evidence.

cross talk later today here on r.t. the us and e.u. are putting together a free trade agreement that they're hailing as historic and mutually beneficial a critic saying it's ignoring something democracy now a single market for europe and america means not just regulatory differences between the two sides will be removed but his claim big business will also be able to overrule the will of governments over the u.s. has promised big benefits here of one hundred nineteen billion euros annually but i discussed this with the straight talking host of the cause report next kaiser and he was very critical about the deal to say the least. this is unbelievable act of corporate hubris they've invented something now the corporate state or the investor state so that corporations have the ability to override sovereignty to override country's legal framework for profit seeking and rent seeking let me let me i don't

think we're really getting to the nettle of how devastating this is ok but is that a steady breeze of legislation private regine it is remember saying it's absolutely mind boggling mind numbing or i've got to just calm down for a second because somebody come to you and say wait a minute this shortly means my job prospects in europe are going to be improved why not let this deal go ahead because it's my life my life at stake at the moment in a devastated european economy i want a job and this can improve my prospects because it gives all the power to the entities that have destroyed the european economy the big banks that have gutted the european economy this now gives them ability to sue the countries for damages that they imposed on these economies for compensatory damages from the economies that they're devastated they can then get the governments to sue the citizens for more money after they stole the money strong was probably but what i want to ask you surely brussels will listen to what you have to say they will have those concerns and they will surely make those laws protecting consumer interests and indeed the environment from any invasive policies of the u.s.

unfortunately and this current era with the n.s.a. spying on every country what i'm going to angela merkel in europe she said i don't want the n.s.a. spying on me now she's laying down supine just letting the american this new law which favors american corporations to re-arm are like a little slap in the woods. max kaiser they're talking to a little earlier well this free trade agreement suggests europe is not letting the revelations that u.s. intelligence targeted its leaders and citizens get in the way of business on the heels of these spying revelations the e.u. complained of a lack of trust so peter all of a economic analyst michael morris whether the frustration is enough to hinder a lucrative trade deal. just over our 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 germany and to you is nothing. 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 facts german companies are aware that there and thirty americans 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 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. walking force to the good of u.s. corporate crissy. economic analyst thank you very much for talking to me there so the second round of talks on tough to underway but certainly still a long way to go to convince the people of europe that this is best for them. the most ambitious leg of russia's olympic torch relay has been completed the symbol of the twenty fourteen winter games in sochi was taken for a space walk by the crew of the international space station no it's back on earth. has been following the movement to strip 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 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.o.'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 a recorder's twitter. instagram. to be in the. did you know the premise is the only industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and. that's because a free and open press is critical to our democracy. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and our press cynical we've been hijacked like handful of friends national corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers once told my job market and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem trucks rational debate

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 bad. is enormous for this. brief look now at some other global news in our world update. the setting of. of the labor camp was basically a dump this is the un's view on the conditions inside cattles labor camps comparing them to slums all rich state has come under severe criticism for its treatment of migrant workers during major development in preparation to host the football world cup and twenty twenty two for neighbors represent eighty eight percent of cattle

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 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 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 he is 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 the men 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 who are 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 for two simple. straight forward to receive in this years in fact. very large where it was fortunately how

models are forever and we're going to start right for our new drummer and after i have your song and jimmy's not the only one over three thousand veterans have responded to the russian proposal to award them with the magic. this is in no way the last chapter in a book which is about recognizing the war effort in both countries the man that brave the arctic when to say they're delighted that russia and britain have finally managed to come together to decorate them for the heroism all those years ago. r.t. london. so that brings up today for the moment more international news for you thirty minutes with me in the team here naughty stay with us. if the sweet little gold in agreement it will be called

a peace agreement when we meet next time to talk with the palestinians in three or five who knows maybe deadly is. the formula of the settlements will be big and the chance for palestinian states want to 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 in the wind ease in almost school these first of all we got to know what he did us an image of what the world so if louis lived to be able to establish a palestinian state we will be the palestinian state. party
