a pleasure to have you with us today here on our. live in moscow with your top world headlines for this hour. israel's prime minister is heading right here to moscow he's on a mission to prevent any progress during iran's nuclear negotiations with world powers a new round of three day told with tehran begins in geneva today and many obstacles remain before hopes of a breakthrough could become a reality let's get more on this now it seems to buy more say joining us live here on the program good morning to you who coming here to moscow all the way to moscow some saying he's got a very convincing role he'll have to play. indeed rory and prime minister netanyahu will be arriving in moscow for a shorter trip he will be meeting with russia's president mr putin now it is
1:02 am
expected that on the agenda of the talks regarding iran's nuclear program will be there now as we know that these talks are happening from a two day onwards and this visit starts today here in moscow now in terms of iran's nuclear program mr netanyahu has been very very open in terms of how he feels about of the deal that's been presented to iran he said that it is exceedingly bad so what is the deal at the moment the p five plus one are offering you the chance to curb east some of those sanctions that have been put on them by holding their nuclear program letting out says that the deal is not protecting israel it's exceedingly bad and strong gave the people of why people live plus one. the round table talks a curveball last week when he came around and said that it will not vote for that
1:03 am
deal now of course we know that just recently mr hollande has been to see mr netanyahu in israel saying that sticking to his guns and saying that he will not occur we will not move from his decision having said that israel may now have a new friend in france but the deputy foreign minister of iran has said that israel has no business in telling the world leaders how to speak with iran. some nations have such relations with tel aviv that they are influenced by their influence by the atmosphere that's been created around iran for the five plus one countries which are holding talks with iran it is unbecoming when some of them or indeed one specific nation is being influenced by to provoke asians. so mr netanyahu is also expected to meet up with u.s.
1:04 am
state john kerry this friday to also speak i guess put on his case regarding how he feels about the latest proposed deal for iran probably some of those already involved in these talks are expressing cautious optimism about point do you think some sort of deal in agreement can be reached well just last week the deal was on the table and everybody felt that it was a ready to go deal when france of course shut everybody with a curveball and vetoed that deal now we know that one of that russia's president has said quite clearly that this is the time to talk about this deal to put it on the table and let it be done we know that david cameron in the u.k. has called mr rouhani say that let's take this opportunity to see something happen after ten years of these stalled talks the international community has been waiting for this opportunity president obama israel's the biggest ally with we know that
1:05 am
he's also said that you know mr rouhani is speaking the right words by telling him to live up he's also been trying to hold the congress of from pushing on with more . run than we have the i.e. area who said that since august iran has not continued to expand its nuclear program so with all those in all those things in places all those leaders are looking further to see that this is a chance that a deal could be made it is up to israel now where we have to see how the talks go of course and if an agreement is made of will have to see how israel reacts to that . thank you now earlier we spoke to be a former french prime minister dominique de villepin he believes if a deal is not agreed upon israel could actually strike against iran in the very near future. the question is how much are we ready to take the risk
1:06 am
to sign the agreement and i think to assess the importance of this agreement we must understand that it is a process of course we are not going to get the final agreement from scratch on wednesday words we can go in deploy ourselves of an agreement and we and into memory agreement and then we can progress and have a final agreement that will be better so i think it's a chance and we should take it it is the interest of the region because this will have strong consequences on the situation in syria on the situation in lebanon or on the peace process so this may change completely the dynamic of the region for good on the contrary if we don't sign the agreement if we don't take all the chances to sign this agreement we may have the strong consequences and we may face is strike in iran coming from israel. nato
1:07 am
may be gradually withdrawing from afghanistan but the alliance is making sure its troops are kept busy elsewhere if issue or say military exercises on an unprecedented scale will take place in europe over the coming years now the latest war games held on russia's borders in poland in the baltic republics that involved six thousand troops but that figure will be dwarfed by upcoming drills in spain and portugal with a force of more to more than forty thousand soldiers expected to gather in two thousand and fifteen now the u.s. led block says this will be the first in a series of such exercises designed to make sure the allies keep working closely together and as artie's peter all of our reports there's little appetite in europe for the costly deployment. european nations can and should. do more to match america's commitment that commitment is said to see upwards of forty thousand troops deployed on maneuvers within the e.u.
1:08 am
in the coming years all in port and work for the future of the alliance once the combat mission in afghanistan is over the question is how can you retain these operational experiences and capabilities and so you must exercise you must train your forces you must test whether the old routines work the command structure works but the troops are interoperable call them is a former east german security officer turned author to spending a career watching nato during the cold war he isn't buying the reason given that this is all part of the winding down of operations in afghanistan. there isn't any need to put these troops in europe i think they would have ramped up operations even if it wasn't coming to an end. that's down to what he sees as a change in nato policy following actions in libya and towards syria. well most of
1:09 am
them instead of a defensive army they want to make an army of intervention of aggression made it was responsible for three quarters of global arms spending at a time when many of its members are for broke here in central lin a group of demonstrators on banners saying no to wars of intervention but with many european economies still far from recovery there's a lack of enthusiasm for spending more on the military but. it's crazy to think that this has anything to do with a new rogue state by holding operations in europe it shows natal still looks towards russia. under the guess it in the toy of the population is getting poorer and war is getting more expensive this time for various sizes i threat to society. so they want politicians to pay attention to the real cost of military spending peter all over r.t.
1:10 am
. and the mountain of debt and austerity in european countries means they've been steadily so lashing their defense spending and the aftermath of the wars in afghanistan and libya have also decreased the appetite for that of military deployments but as artie's guy nature can reports the u.s. led bloc may still be prepared to pay the cost of putting more boots on the ground in europe. u.s. troops are supposed to be out of afghanistan by the end of next year that's around sixty thousand troops the military leadership is already thinking about how to keep him busy nato with his heart and mind in washington of course plans to sharply increase the size of its exercises in europe in coming years we're lucky to have douglas macgregor retired u.s. army colonel with us today thanks so much for coming through so the plan for europe for twenty fifteen nato has is war games with forty thousand troops in portugal and spain. these countries of course will have to chipping to make it happen that's
1:11 am
a huge expense for their better the economies what's what's the origins whatever nato conducts exercises of any kind there's always a great deal of time and money invested in what i would call a large solidarity and i know there is great concern about the troubled nature of the economies particularly on the iberian peninsula in portugal and spain i think we want to reaffirm the or close members of the alliance that we are behind that we support them and what better way to do that than to conduct an exercise in well in their grasp and a lot of money grow much of it is money's already budgeted more than half the troops will probably be air and naval forces so they have to conduct a certain number of operations one way or the other there's a lot of discussions on how nato. future there are so proud of what they did in libya it seems that they see their future in this kind of hit and run operations but what do you think about it libya it was not
1:12 am
a success we ultimately unleashed forces in that country sunni islamic forces that are edgy western. american and ultimately antithetical to the interests of libya's future social and political development we don't know how libya will turn out much nato sees it as a success but that's the message that sample for its operation is that that is a public message and truth. there were enormous problems with the operation how do you see the future of nato i think it's it's very questionable over time it's going to be harder and harder to hold the alliance together and so i don't see the nato alliance holding together in its current form for another decade but maybe these exercises are not such a bad idea maybe if for a while nato will not actually bomb and invade other countries to keep itself busy with me in washington colonel douglas macgregor and i'm going to stay down there watching art. and i want to form a german intelligence officer told me that nato is eager to keep flexing its
1:13 am
military muscles in order to let the competition know that it's still a force to be reckoned with you have to see this against the background of the good strong from afghanistan and there they didn't need military exercises because they could to stay there interoperability and everything on the ground but. now with the need to countries especially united states leaving afghanistan beaten like a dog with the tail between its legs they need to project and show the route that these two go clothes shopping and teeth strong all this is part of the continued effort of power projection of intimidating. nations that don't fall over on the terribly the you is so european lead. well i lost to come here
1:14 am
this morning just a couple of minutes away here on the program a blessing or a custom made anger at the level of immigration in the united kingdom looks at how much newcomers can actually bring to the country's economy that story and the rest of your top headlines in just about. all of gods is woman. bill press. likes the straight.
1:15 am
pleasure to have you with us today. live from moscow thanks for joining us today japan's maffia reportedly cashing in on the fukushima disaster by running the cleanup efforts of the damaged nuclear plant workers complain of being done to stop them mistreated by contractors who think nothing of throwing them into the extremely high radiation high risk areas.
1:16 am
as this report from japan. as if clearing up the dangerous bands worst natural disaster in a century was not tough enough this former fukushima worker says he's having to see you with a firm which hired him i was out of work after the tsunami so when a job offer at fukushima came up i took it they promised a lot of money even signed a long term contract but they suddenly terminated not even paying me a third of the promise on the do you have a feeling that you were mistreated absolutely we were given no insurance for health risks no radiation meters even we were treated like nothing like disposable people promise things and then take us out when we received our large radiation dose this young man volunteered to jump into nuclear hell to make a living many others though were forced so claims investigative journalist. who went undercover to fukushima filming with a camera hidden in his watch he discovered that many of the workers were brought in
1:17 am
by the infamous underworld syndicate the young so this is. at fukushima. in japan and quite often when a certain construction project requires an immediate workforce in large numbers buses make a phone call to the so it was the case with fukushima the government called tepco to take an agent action tepco related to subcontractors and that he eventually as they had a shortage of available workers called the year could sell for help to the us with . but fukushima is no ordinary construction site the workers drawn to the power plant by the young kids or mostly with gambling debts to the organization or family obligations often had absolutely no idea what they were dealing with. they were given very general info about radiation and most were not even given radiation meters they could have exposed themselves to large doses without even knowing it even the so called fukushima fifty the first group of workers sent there immediately after the disaster at least three of them were enrolled by the. suzuki
1:18 am
published details of what he says is solid evidence but tepco officials remain defined that any mistreatment or organized crime involvement is taking place and we're doing everything to ensure our workers operate in safe conditions we deal harshly with law while eating subcontractors but the company and its subcontractors already short of hands there are twenty five percent more openings for jobs at fukushima plant than applicants according to government data gaps filled says suki by the homeless the desperately unemployed and even those with mental disabilities there are no exact figures as to how many people are involved in the fukushima clear up operation but rough estimates suggest that this may be up to a quarter of a million people and with experts saying that it may take another forty years to completely liquidate the aftermath of the disaster it's really hard to imagine how many more workers will be involved in this dangerous line of duty and more
1:19 am
importantly how many of them will feel disposable and expendable once their jobs and. reporting from japan. about to turn twenty minutes past the hour here in moscow sectarian tensions are flared up in lebanon on this in the aftermath of a double suicide bombing in the capital an al qaeda linked terror cell says it was responsible for attacking the iranian embassy in beirut a twenty three people were killed one hundred fifty wounded in the. it means being linked to the conflict in neighboring syria lebanon and iran are both strong supporters of the syrian government which is fighting a radical islamist insurgency and analysts say lebanon at the end of the day is an easy target. brigades an offshoot of al qaida it's named after a founder. it professes to be backing the syrian revolution and these things all pull together and in the region that is heavily focused on syria and now you run
1:20 am
hezbollah off course being an ally of these two and the iranian embassy attack i think we have to look at in light of what's going on the region if i love an ons an easy target it just simply doesn't have a strong national army that is defending its borders it's a vulnerable state it's obviously a lot easier to move around than iran would be these are attempts to strike at a vulnerable proxy. or ally of iran and syria are coming up in just over an hour's time here when i see it will be cross talk could live elena's guests are debating the role of foreign forces continue to fuel the ongoing syrian conflict. now the opposition which is written internally fractured is now depending upon its patrons and saudi arabia to attack assad's allies for instance in lebanon today the bombing syria has pointed the finger of saudi arabia. america wants iran out of the peace negotiations but really the country
1:21 am
that has prolong this war that is the core the cause of the instability is saudi arabia and it's but it's absurd that's how the arabia is our ally in this region they're going to really regret this one day if not already been funneling all these people foreign nationals into a civil war that everyone why did we call a revolution and now it's a proxy war which is taking the lives of a lot of people that do not like these foreigners in their country this is i'm glad you mentioned lebanon earlier because this is what it's going to get down to in my opinion a partition go ahead joseph. you know. that i mean i find myself in a kind of funny situation as and he's rarely to intervene between the abound in saudi arabia to decide who started what fair doesn't matter anymore look it was as they call it the phony sense that she's in the lead in lebanon and syria have become there are enough beast wars where that it was planted by the saudis or the

iranian government that. are before we get to be r.t. want update often our britain's population is set to rise by almost ten million over the next couple of decades and over half of that is thanks to immigration and many are against the massive inflow were foreigners because artists are are silly reports newcomers off of the u.k. more than just strength in numbers. the fabric of british society is a diverse want to diversify is evident in areas like this one in the one to look at the most recent report of the office of national service sticks that diversity looks to continue the overall population of the u.k. is expected to reach seventy three point three million by two thousand and thirty seven point six million in the next twenty five years sixty percent of the resource of five point eight million people is willing to immigration new arrivals or people having babies when they settle for the figures put into question prime minister
1:23 am
david cameron said of reducing immigration to the tens of thousands by the end of this parliament now those who are against immigration always go back to the argument that more people means more pressure on the social welfare system of the u.k. however contrary to popular belief another study says that those immigrants who would come here since two thousand actually contributed more in taxes than claimed benefits. thirty four percent more in terms of texas then they would have taken note in terms of transfers and benefits receipts. is a very emotional. few. uncertainties important to look at the overall number which is when we look at the. countries where wife after nine hundred ninety nine have made a positive fiscal contribution it's
1:24 am
a tricky topic one that's constantly debated in the u.k. there have been a recent attempts to curb immigration such as the scrap of opposing a three thousand pound bond and visitors from certain countries or the valves go into a round of with a big billboard selling illegal immigrants to go home they've been controversial to say the least but it may have its the numbers the tell the real story albeit one of the tough talking in the u.k. isn't showing any signs. yes there is still there are one dead. now an initial investigation into the crash of a boeing seven thirty seven in russia city of puts the blame firmly on the pilots it's thought flying air was forced the passenger plane to nose dive at four hundred fifty kilometers an hour straight into the ground killing all fifty people on board the first attempt at landing failed in during the second try the autopilot was switched off and unusually steep climb there apparently caused the speed to drop
