this is why you should care only. it takes more than two to tango an international nuclear deal for iran seemed to be on the horizon runs aground in geneva to cheers from israel. syria is given a new timetable for chemical disarmament but obstacles emerged with no countries willing to host the destruction operation. twelve years of scandal and no end in sight. lives to see another anniversary even as america's most decorated former generals speak out against it our report from inside the facility just in a few minutes. and more than just. over a new open ended law that could make it the right to hold peaceful protests a thing of the past.

and broadcasting live from our studios in moscow recapping the week's top stories this is r t with the weekly now hopes of reconciliation are on hold for iran with crippling sanctions still in place and opposing powers are lining up against it despite all the smiles and handshakes the u.s. is renewing its trade restrictions and even considering toughening them meanwhile iran's most outspoken critic israel seems to have a new partner in france which shot down the last weeks and tentative deal in geneva more details from our two used to say the pieces i'm in place. we have time and again said that i know no circumstances would we seek any weapons of mass destruction including nuclear weapons nor will we ever wrong and how you.

operate with respect to good connectivity is to be undertaken by going he's going to meet all present and policy. one will words flowing relations yet just as a deal in geneva was on the cons between the world pollens and iran came concern from france a surprise move that stall the talks but end fran's new friends in israel who'd been the traditional stumbling block up to now still small ting from the threats and intense rhetoric of the recent ponced is will refuses to budge that's a bad deal it's a dangerous. because it keeps iran as a nuclear threshold nation. we are not blind and i don't think we're stupid as well the main bargaining chips the sanctions lightning could prove the deal maker when congress is having none of it putting president obama in

a tough spot i think rouhani has staked his position on the idea that he can improve relations with the rest of the world and so far he's been saying a lot of the right things to fire the privacy for israel. be very wary as well of any kind of. talk from the iranians and then there's the bargaining hammer israel building more subtle meant when things don't go its way approving more units only last month leaving us congress to get trigger happy with more sanctions don't draw us into a bad deal with iran we already know how israel's benjamin netanyahu feels advocating his case on twitter through yet another colorful graphic presentation and the red carpet will be rolled out for its new found friends friends present it's tough to predict whether the p five plus one will equal unity when they get back around the

table next week in geneva. they already moscow meanwhile the u.n. atomic watchdog says iran has slowed down its nuclear program to almost a standstill but that's unlikely to bring a diplomatic reprieve according to foreign policy analyst soraya support will wreck . i think mr obama is sending very clear message to tara that whatever agreement does make with iran in the future it cannot be trusted as it was not trusted in the past the negotiations that started it was undersecretary of state wendy sherman saying this they do not think does not recognize iran's right to enrich uranium so they are interpreted the nonproliferation treaty to see their politics i don't think that was ever any real desire to bring an end to a peaceful end to this negotiation. europe could be sitting on a jihad as to time bomb. coming up we report on how al qaeda is winning new

be party to this decision and this announcement by albania came as a shock to the united states and the european union albanian is seen as a very strong partner with a so-called unshakeable alliance to the waste it is also a very poor country but they have world wide scale protests in albania with people saying that they refuse to allow their government to be party to taking in the weapons from syria now the problem is that only a norway also indicated that it would not allow these weapons to be brought to its shore no way however saying that it will send a ship that will help with transferring the weapons to wherever they are taken but this is the problem it's not yet clear where in fact they will be taken and the latest word from the united states is that it has other options on the table but no indication as to walk these options off this is a very ambitious time. crane that has been saved by the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons it says that by the end of next year most of

syria's chemical weapons will have been destroyed and the end of june fourth of them will have been destroyed but again it seems that it's facing an uphill battle not least of all with the decision as to when pressed to destroy these weapons. and while european nations so far seem unwilling to take on the task of destroying those weapons foreign journalist robert harness says that there are more than just practical concerns and stake the reason why france is a previous candidate is that france has a considerable program running all the time disposing of chemical weapons left over from the second world war which keep being uncovered so they have the technical capacity to deal with the problem of the traps of the french apart from the fact that they appear to be recognizing bashar al assad who they have spent months and years decrying on every possible ground is that says the public may well say that if france minded he said business in the first place that would be this will position of having to be helpful over chemical weapons in the certain areas where

the syrian government can't go and certainly the team of inspectors can't go series difficult to criticize it at the moment quite frankly at therefore i can't see this process being easily just because of the short term countries are queuing up to take the chemical weapons. seems that the e.u. is already being dragged far deeper into the syrian conflict than it ever wanted to be many young europeans have left their homelands to join the jihad ists whose social media campaigns seem to be having some success and those fighters are expected to return home radicalized e.u. counterterrorism coordinator of says that the trend is deeply disturbing. we are in the process of trying to understand better the reason why so many europeans are going to syria where we start being concerned. with and that's what we understand many of the mean the joining do. you think.

groups which not only wants to work through a sad but the global jihad rhetoric and the project if it get out and before we think i think would see that in the future but that many of them would get back in europe much more radical. recruit other day meet even directed want to attack in europe the u.s. is accused of bullying britain over its probe into the cold war washington says the london should back off from awkward questions as experts say both countries have plenty of skeletons in their closets when it comes to the invasion. and better late than never russia aims to honor all the surviving brits who braved german u. boats and freezing arctic conditions to help the soviet union in the second world war. one ton of mowbray reached

a grim milestone this week marking twelve years of torture scandal and scrutiny three dozen former generals and admirals of the united states military used the occasion to call for its closure labeling it a betrayal of american values artie's honest i see a check in a brings us her final report from guantanamo. when it comes to this prison the numbers speak for themselves since being set up after the attacks of nine eleven a total of seven hundred seventy nine hundred have been held at guantanamo today one hundred sixty four people remain over half of them have been long cleared for release but remain locked up a total of six people is currently under trial alleged prisoners of war brought here since two thousand and two removed from the battlefield of america's ever

expanding war on terror it's both the policy of the u.s. not to hold anyone longer than necessary but we also know that whenever we release someone we assume a richness over a period of more than a decade the majority of detainees held here have been set free and if the men of guantanamo are really these superhuman monsters you know the worst of the worst quote dick cheney. they would have been really. most of those still kept locked up have not been charged and are being held indefinitely what sort of a black hole of the weak system where the president of the united states simply refuses to say the innocent but u.s. officials say the law of war brings behind this barbed wire the idea that in a war when you capture folks you as the capturing authority are permitted to hold people during the duration of hostilities. when hostilities and or if there's no longer any purpose legitimate purpose to to hold them then they must be released a tiny problem the war on terror has no geographic borders with men once held here

repeat treated to a wide array of countries. who are only specific to guantanamo you can't even you couldn't even the case on the u.s. mainland because it would be unconstitutional and illegal the war on terror also has no end in sight and national security is a popular excuse to simply ignore the law. the spite the rhetoric really isn't about national security or prisoners being so dangerous that they can't possibly be released and that can't be true after being locked up the legal process if any moves at a glacial pace in two thousand and twelve five detainees were transferred to had completed their military commission sentence two were court ordered released. detainees have been repatriated and one was a suicide over the years countless detainee claims of mistreatment and abuse dozens of suicide attempts mass hunger strikes lost patience and hope just this year the

majority of the prison population refused to eat for six months street only to be force fed the. mandate that we have is being able to provide adequate nutrition to preserve life washington has appointed a new envoy to close a camp that is a dark spot on america's image this comes after a massive hunger strike that returned the world's attention to the place that some have dubbed the gulag of our times even if close it seems. to mean a state in u.s. history forever it's very easy to end one ton of. you release the men that you're not prosecuting. and as you said only six men are being prosecuted right now the military prosecutor has made clear that he intends to prosecute a few more but he's also made clear that it won't be more than a few more the record on a promise to close the notorious facility on day one of his presidency he's now in his second term it's only a president can do it and the idea that it's you know that it's congress's fault is

just not correct it is the president the top holding these men in detention some president has to come in and this. it's hard to tell right now exactly how long will be down here doing this mission over there. was. her a liar and stacy churkin at artsy guantanamo bay cuba. more than half the detainees still are gone tom or yemeni nationals the arab country is considering building a new facility to receive the inmates after their transfer a plan already dubbed guantanamo to parties lucy caffein off has just returned from yemen where she met relatives of the detainees. it's difficult to stay positive about these detainees coming home when you've been awaiting us long as over a decade as was the case with some of the families who we've met now yemen is in a specific different situation for

a variety of reasons than other countries more than half of the remaining detainees are yemeni citizens to fifty six of them have been cleared for release to get sent back from guantanamo not a single one has come home and in fact the last citizen to return to the country came home in a body bag and twenty twelve and that is the fate that some of the families that we met with worry could be in store for or for some of their loved ones one of the fathers that we met said that his son told them everything was going well and then basically found out through news reports that his son was participating in quite ill from the hunger strike which we have covered here at our teeth to get any government has been pushing for years now for a so-called rehabilitation facility which would basically take these detainees help them adjust to society and make sure that they don't rejoin with terrorist networks which is the main concern of the united states what we're learning now is that the united states and yemen actually had secret talks in rome about this proposed facility but there's very little details that have emerged and the issue really boils down to trust and money yemen has tried to use this as

a political issue to get more funding from the united states in the past so the u.s. isn't necessarily willing to foot the bill actually the funding issue something that we spoke to about with yemen's human rights minister of course of money we want. to integrate into society to change the. element. i'm sure that they have. any. yemeni government because they have the feeling that we neglected them. for u.s. officials the key concern is in the difficulty of reintegrating these former detainees in society it's the concern that these detainees will reintegrate into al qaeda networks and it's not a completely not valid when we have to remember that al qaeda in the arabian peninsula was founded by former guantanamo detainees so it's certainly a valid concern this is going to be such a long way off i mean if we waited this long for it to close unfortunately i don't think it's going to be sped up just because of this idea. well next hour we report

on how some are making fortunes from incarceration and america's private prison complex the industry lobby in washington to make even the largest offenses punishable with as much time on the inside as possible. also coming up next hour u.k. home office tactics against illegal immigrants now seem to include text spamming but not always illegals who are being told to go home. this week saw a heated debate in the u.k. over a proposed law that could land people in jail for annoying behavior the new bill would make it easier for local councils to break up peaceful protests and it's very good wording means it can be interpreted in many different ways if passed it will become an offense to even threaten to be a nuisance to other people as activist kerry and mendoza says this could seriously undermine freedom of speech. attempting to do is give to police.

to make any lawful protest immediately illegal simply because i quote this directly from the legislation may has always like to nuisance or annoyance as you can imagine the whole point of protest is to cause nuisance and annoyance is to get in the way to disrupt people in their ordinary daily lives so that you can have them focus on an otherwise ignore bull issue which is really important. there's always a more stories on our website including the space spectacle of the. annual meteor shower will be lighting up the skies this weekend. to read about a spectacle. which has not been seen since two thousand and two. also. a child's dream come true a five year old leukemia survivor becomes his favorite superhero for one day thanks

. well let me add these shocking revelations are to managed to meet one young man whose life took a turn for the worst when he was passed on to a new family. dimitris stewart was five years old when he and his brother were adopted from an orphanage in a small town near moscow it would be a rocky road living with his adoptive american parents didn't really feel like you're always there when he was a young teenager after years of strained relations and after his parents had biological children of their own the stewarts decided it was time to find him a new home and that's when they turned to the internet is that i go underground groups where people want to. just sort of a dog stands and. that's how dimitris parents found nicole isa in eastern advertiser self as an aspiring mother that ran a home school to meijer found out that this was far from the truth this is a little tiny basic. doubt as they hear me serious

it was clear that his new home was no home school there was an even desk there had to deal more here he didn't even make you go to school and she gave me the option to go to school and then we had a biological kid that was taken away from them from the stay so they want a lot of any more kids and that's why they're doing this underground underground thing nicole had been married to a man who was a pedophile and that she could not get a homestudy due to their finances these days private adoptions are far more common it's unclear how many of them were facilitated on the internet where it's harder to regulate the transactions between families after the traumatizing ordeal dimitri moved to this group home outside atlanta he feels safe with his new guardians in this quaint home in a nice suburban neighborhood use never know who's who's going to. be out there looking for kids and there's sick people out there everywhere and marietta georgia

lives of all our t. . an ambitious british inquiry into the country's involvement in the invasion of iraq that is expected to challenge the official version of events may never see the light of day the us government has stepped in to block the release of key information the message from across the atlantic is that london has no authority to release details on discussions between then president george w. bush and prime minister tony blair while that for your probe stumbles in iraq itself this year's death toll is creeping towards eight thousand with dozens losing their lives in sectarian bombings and shootings every day and i war activist german says both the u.s. and britain have plenty to hide when it comes to iraq. there's likely to be no outcome any time soon and that really seems to me a cover up both on the part of the people who support tony blair and of george bush it makes you wonder exactly what is in these conversations between bush and blair

the must be quite a lot to hide for them to be so worried about being released people want to know what. the war what were the conditions of it because nearly two hundred british soldiers died during the iraq war hundreds of thousands of iraqis have died there were millions of people demonstrated all of these people have the right and it is absolutely shameful that our government and the united states government transfer prevent them from knowing. now let's take a look at some other international news in brief for you this hour a protest against police brutality in turkey ended with officers directing water cannons on demonstrators with at least one woman injured rally was organized in support of a fourteen year old boy who was allegedly put into a coma after being hit in the head with a gas grenade june saw a string of similar episodes as millions that took part in anti-government

demonstrations all over the country. new fighting has broken out in libya leaving at least one person dead in the east of the capital the clashes erupted between fighters from the coastal city of misrata who have set up in tripoli and local militiamen forty three protesters died on friday and hundreds more were wounded when they marched on the headquarters of the main armed group in misrata before coming under fire. tens of thousands of people have protested in italy demanding millions of tons of industrial waste be cleaned up many held up pictures of friends and family they say have developed cancer because of pollution tests show it's poisoned local water supplies it was a blower from a local mafia syndicate camara has alleged that the group has organized of the illegal dumping of waste for years.

in the bulgarian city of. the country's largest opposition party has staged a mass rally urging the government to step down thousands of people have joined the demonstrations accusing the leadership which took office in may of corruption and calling for an early election people have also marched in support of the government in other places across. the nation among the poorest in the european union has seen a number of a political crisis over the last year with frequent protests calling for political reforms. and this week of the u.k. honored all the country's soldiers who served in conflicts over the last hundred years britain even allowed russia to give bravery medals to veterans of the second world war overturning centuries of military tradition in the process reports from one. earlier this year the russian government was finally allowed to say a special thank you to british arctic convoy veterans who 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 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. to 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 close links being forged at a ceremony in downing street in june the russian president awarded the first twenty veterans the reason is that it 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 parked 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 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. 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 his 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 his. ms now eighty six say they thought they wouldn't live to see her two simple. gerster grateful. to receive in this years in fact to raise their children it's very hard

to wear a. helmet laws are there ever any kind of understood circuit right but i've looked over and often have yourself and jimmy's not the only one over three thousand veterans who responded to the russian proposal to award them with the. 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 winter has saved added life said that russia and britain have finally managed to come together to decorate them for the heroism all those years ago. azzi london. i'll be back with more news in about thirty minutes time but for now it's time for business with kitty pilgrim and yes even myself.
