iran finds itself trapped in a corner as world powers agree again disagree on a nuclear deal and sanctions looked set to be sharpened much to the delight of israel. toxic problems syria is given a new timetable to get rid of its chemical weapons but there are major hurdles in the way with no countries willing to host the destruction work. plus twelve years of scandal and no end in sight guantanamo bay marks another anniversary even as america's most decorated former general speak out against it our report from inside the facility in a few minutes. more than just a nuisance a debate flares up in the u.k. over a new open ended law that could make the right to hold peaceful protests a thing of the past.

i welcome you watching a weekly here on outing with me and three farmer. hopes of reconciliation are on hold for iran with crippling sanctions over its nuclear program still in place and opposing power is 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 last week's tentative deal in geneva more details now from artie's. the pieces are 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 i give me

a break with respect to its connectivities to be undertaken by going. to meet all of all present and party. woman or words flowing relations yet just as the 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 past 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 we're the main bargaining chips the sanctions like me not to 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 for 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 most subtle moments 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 are to moscow well trained for casa gerosa leonti believes arms sales were one of the main reasons why france broke ranks in geneva. france does a lot of business and wants to continue to do more business with the arab states particularly the saudis in selling them weapons and of course they have a long history as they did during the iraq iran war of supplying weapons in that those days to iraq via the arab nations the sunni nations who look upon iran shia iran as a mortal enemy france has at least three hundred nuclear weapons and they're telling iran that they can't do anything look who invaded mali the french can't get over their colonial trip and its new colonialism. meanwhile the worst case scenario

could be just around the corner as media reports suggest that two former enemies saudi arabia and israel are plotting together against iran you can check out that story at r.t. dot com. this week the international chemical watchdog unveiled a challenging road map for syria to get rid of its toxic weapons the end of june next year has been set is the moment of truth when syria has to declare itself a chemical arms free country the organization says that so far damascus has proved to be a reliable partner working hard on meeting every deadline but despite the positive momentum major stumbling blocks could be lurking on the country's road to chemical disarmament desire to ease porous leah explains it would banking on albania to take these weapons in and albania has since indicated that it will not be party to this now this decision and this announcement by albania came as a shock to the united states and the european union of the union is seen as

a very strong partner with a so-called and shakable alliance to the waste it is also a very poor country but there were 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 what these options are this is a very ambitious time frame that has been saved by the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons it says that by the end of march next year most of syria's chemical weapons will have been destroyed and that by the end of june all of them will have been destroyed but again it seems as if it's facing an uphill

battle not least of all with the decision as to where in fact to destroy these weapons. while european nations so far seem unwilling to take on the task of destroying those weapons foreign affairs journalist robert hannah is says there are more than just practical concerns at stake. the reason why france is a obvious 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 the trap for 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 the public may well say that if france minded it so business in the first place that would be in this awkward position of having to be helpful over chemical weapons the certain areas where the syrian government can't go and certainly the team of inspectors cargo syria is difficult to criticize it at the moment quite frankly therefore i can't see this process

being easily the real just because in the short term countries are queuing up to take the chemical weapons while 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 is he social media campaign seemed to be having some success in its feed some of those fighters could return home radicalized in a new counterterrorism coordinator says 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. and that's where we understand many of the. joining. which not only wants to work through. the global jihad river wreak

fully the project before we think. we'll see that in the future but many of them will get back in europe much more radical to be inspired by order recruit order or do you mean for saab even directed more to attack in europe. the skeletons in the closet on the iraq war likely to remain hidden crucial inquiry into the invasion stumbles over america's refusal to release the facts and britain's reluctance to offend its powerful ally we've got more on the story in a few minutes and the twenty fourteen sochi olympic torch is safely back on earth after a unique space walk and is now ready to get back on the road in the longest ever read. this week's or 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 protest and it's vague

wording means it can be interpreted in many different ways if passed it will become an offense to even threaten to be in use since the papal activist kerry and the says this could seriously undermine freedom of speach. attempting to do is give to police the all sorry city to make any lawful protest immediately illegal simply because i quote this directly from the legislation may has always likely to cause nuisance or annoyance as you can imagine the whole point of protest is to cause nuisance an 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 bore issue which is really important. 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 are to going to 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 took 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 wider array of countries. who are only specific to guantanamo you can't even you couldn't even the case on the us 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 hold just this year the majority of the prison population refused to eat for six months straight 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 to 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 direct obama promised 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 we'll be down here doing this mission. and stacie churkin at guantanamo bay cuba. not locking people up might seem like an unlikely way to get rich but it is turning a profit in u.s. companies and to the private prison complex the industry lobbying washington to make even the defense is punishable with this much time on the inside as possible we've got this story coming up later this hour also better late than never russia old the surviving brits. some phrasing conditions to help the soviet union in the second world war.

to try spanish find out more visit i. can back crime does pay it and it's america's burgeoning private prison industry that is cashing in business has been booming for years now and pays for a monumental lobbying campaign calling for even petty crimes to be punished with hard time but as artie's marina portnoy explains there is a huge conflict of interests. corrections corporation of america is the hilton of the private prison industry a multibillion dollar business that's getting rich off punishment we are c.c.a. the more people locked up behind bars and the longer they stay there the more money c.c.a. makes last year the company banked a reported one point seven billion dollars they are fully aware of the reality

which is that they need massive are serious and in order to stay in business they need excessive sentences for nonviolent crime so yes they push for legislation that will sure more and more people are in their stores with more than to put millions people currently incarcerated the united states chomps china russia and the rest of the world in the number of prisoners doing time about half of those in u.s. jails are in for nonviolent offenses since one nine hundred ninety america's private prison population has increased sixteen hundred percent the war on drugs mandatory sentencing and a broken immigration policy have forced more people into prison c.c.a. has roughly ninety thousand prison beds in twenty states jesse lava from the watchdog group beyond bars says many of the company's contracts guarantee occupancy lock up quotas basically say you know if you're a private person and you have a contract with say or a local government you have

a guaranteed number of people in your facility are go down with it's doesn't matter it's passed we are still on the hook and the government is still on the hook for filling up your prisons. in the land of the free it is hard to expect the prison population to decrease as long as corporations continue profiting by keeping people locked up reporting from new york marina puerto nile are to. pull out a spoke to a man who spent a decade behind bars in both private and public jails and is now a human rights advocate alex friedman told us the private. prisons are all about profit not rehabilitating criminals serve six years at a privately operated prison this part of the ten years total that i spent incarcerated and my experience is privately operated prison pretty much is what led me on to a career if you will fighting against the private prison industry it is a very drastic experience and people come out of prison generally worse than they

went to lation due to the lack of resources and rehabilitative programs and what that means of course is that when they get out they are more likely to times to recidivate come back and that benefits no one except for companies like c.c. because if you profit from incarceration then the more people you have locked up the more money you can get. this week the u.k. owner of all the countries. conflicts over the last hundred years britain even allowed russia to give bravery medals to veterans of the second world war i returning centuries of military tradition in the process party boy k. reports now from the. 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 the skull drawn to allowed to receive medals from other countries but this is now being waived 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 but what toward all the men him bopped on the freezing journey 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 across the meadow. 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 are writing from their

hearts they really thankful sometimes we even redwood's to 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 barbara looking forward to receiving this year. in factories are very large where i'm going to start right for our new drummer and after i have your son 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. book which is about recognizing the war effort in both countries the men that braved the arctic winters say they're delighted that russia and britain have finally managed to come together to decorate them for their heroism all those years ago. r.t.

stumbling david cameron has been put in the embarrassing position of having to choose between damaging the so-called special relationship and satisfying the public demand for the truth antiwar activists lindsay german says both countries 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 hard for them being to be so worried about about them being released people want to know what. and george bush agree how early did they agree the war what were the conditions of it because nearly two hundred british soldiers died during the iraq war would have been hundreds of thousands of iraqis who have died there were millions of people demonstrating all of these people have the right to know and it is absolutely shameful that our government and the united states

government are trying to prevent them from knowing our monday you saw it she twenty fourteen olympic torch came back to earth from the most unusual leg of its relay and had spent three days in the united nations' space station has even taken out for a first ever space walk artie's lindsey friends watch the 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 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 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 excited to see the engineers actually walk walk the cosmonauts through the steps on how to get around the i assessed 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 assessed 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 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. an amazing journey now i'm back in about thirty minutes time mix though it's
