workers to do their dirty work. international news life or a moscow this is. our thanks for joining us a new round of talks on iran's nuclear program begins in geneva today to coincide with them israel's prime minister is heading to moscow is on a mission to prevent any progress being made during negotiations between tehran and six world powers. not say house more now on what benyamin netanyahu is trying to achieve here. but he is said to will have those talks on his agenda here in moscow to try to convince for the last time the russians to go
6:02 am
with what he believes is an exceedingly bad decision in terms of the russian nuclear program now we know that the rounds of the deal that's on the table is to try to to hold iran's nuclear program and in return they will get a bit of relief from the sanctions that they have at the moment france has already said that they will not supported but the deputy been a star of iran has said that israel has no right to dictate what the world how the world should deal with iran yes. 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 told these problems cations also weak when the told so happened it almost felt like there was some kind of hope but then our friends are through i said curveball and said to him dr no go ahead with it we know that mr rouhani has been can't. is
6:03 am
prime minister david cameron saying that this is the time that that needs to happen now we know russians russia's president has also been quite vocal say it needs to happen now they're dealing give it a chance not only that president obama has been trying to gather momentum from his site say this deal is a momentous deal if it happens and that congress must hold any kind of thought in trying to push forward for those for more sanctions against iran and the i.a.e.a. has also gone on to say that iran has halted any kind of activity this is all good so it'll be interesting to see how friends will vote this times and if it is well indeed what will israel do if indeed this deal does go ahead. and he spoke to former french prime minister dominique de veau panda who believes if a deal is not agreed is rochas try against iran the question is how much are
6:04 am
we ready to take the risk 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 but we can go in deploy ourselves of a remake of an infirmary 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 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 a strong consequences and we may phrase is triage. on the run coming from israel.
6:05 am
nato maybe grandchild it was drawing from i've got to stand by the alliance is making sure its troops are kept busy elsewhere officials say military exercises on our president of scale will take place in europe over the coming get the latest war games hold on and russia's borders and poland and the baltic republics involved six thousand troops but that figure will be dwarfed by upcoming trials in spain and portugal where a force of more than forty thousand is expected to gather in twenty fifteen big blocks as this will be the first in a series of such exercises designed to make sure the allies keep working closely together but as artie's piece or all of our ports there's little appetizing europe or the cost of deployment of 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.
6:06 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 experience and have abilities and so you must exercise you must train your forces you must test whether the old routines were of the command structure works with the troops interoperable told him is the 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 oh. there isn't any need to put these troops in europe i think they would have ramped up operations even if afghanistan wasn't coming to an end. that down to what he sees is a change in nato policy following actions in libya towards syria when most of
6:07 am
instead of a defensive army they want an army of intervention of aggression nato is responsible for three quarters of global arms spending at a time when many of its members a flat broke here in central a group of demonstrators on a banner saying no to wars of intervention but it's crazy to think that this is anything to do with any rogue state by holding operations in europe it shows nato still looks towards russia on dick lugar's it in the toy of the population is getting poorer and who are they getting more expensive these types of exercises are threats the site. they want politicians to pay attention to the real cost of military spending with most eurozone countries still fighting serious economic battles it's understandable why europeans would be uneasy about shelling out for nato war games at a time they can least afford it peter all of a r.t. . the mountain of debt under stairs say in european countries means they've been
6:08 am
steadily slashing defense spending the aftermath of the wars in afghanistan and libya have also decreased the app aside from military deployments but as r.c. is going to check our 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 one 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
6:09 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 day 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 will in their grasp and a lot of money will image that 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 so many 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 a libya it was not
6:10 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 which nato sees it as a success well 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 or maybe these exercises are not such a bad idea maybe it is 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 check out the watch market. and one former german intelligence officer told me that they'd so is
6:11 am
eager to keep flexing its military muscles in order to let the competition know it's still a force to be reckoned with you have to see this against the background of the biggest rule from afghanistan there they didn't need military exercises because they could test their 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 brute that these two go clothes shopping and teeth strong all this is part of the continued if of power projection of intimidating. nations that don't follow voluntarily the u. is for european lead. just
6:12 am
a couple of minutes away here and i'll say a blessing. and they'd level of integration the case looks at how much newcomers actually add to the country's economy. and. the place but now japan is not is reportedly cashing in on they think a shame a disaster by running the cleanup efforts down wish nuclear plant workers complain of being under starved mistreated by contractors has think nothing of throwing them into areas of high radiation oh she's alexei here chefs care reports now from. as if clearing up the dangerous debris in the aftermath of japan's worst natural disaster in a century was not tough enough this former fukushima worker says he's having to see you the firm which hired him i was out of work after the tsunami so when a job offer it fukushima came up i took it they promised a lot of money even signed a long term contract but then suddenly terminated it not even paying me
6:13 am
a third of the promise so 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 they promised things of that kicked us out when we received a large radiation dose this young man volunteered to jump into nuclear help 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 you discovered that many of the workers were brought in by the infamous on the world 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 bosses make a phone call to the yeah so it was the case with fukushima the government called tepco to take action tepco relayed it to subcontractors and then eventually as they had a shortage of available workers who the young could sell for help there was
6:14 am
a little. 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 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 also deal harshly with law while eating subcontractors but the company and its subcontractors already short of hands there are twenty five percent more openings
6:15 am
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 say 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 importantly how many of them will feel disposable and expendable once their jobs and. reporting from japan. and news just around the corner for you including her car bombs the rain and the scene baritone chased away.
6:16 am
since the start of the arab spring there has been hopes of change and the creation of a better future sadly this is not in the case would be a bomb to democracy by nato is breaking up and on the verge of a civil war it would appear the only winners are the forces backing instability. in the future. the show will evolve a technology keeping the moscow metro rolling new modeling instead they said makes me ways in the oil industry and a dream team of robots to places too dangerous for humans. to ninefold the latest news and innovations here and said no. we've got the future covered.

welcome bob this is. sectarian tensions flared up in lebanon in the aftermath of a double suicide bombing in the compas so an al-qaeda linked terrorist cell has said it was responsible for in that you're wearing an embassy in beirut killing twenty three people and wounding around one hundred fifty the bombings been linked to the conflicts in neighboring syria lebanon and iran are both strong supporters of the syrian government which is facing a radical islamist insurgency and analysts say lebanon is an easy target for terrorists. brigades and offshoot of it's named after a founder of. 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 iran
6:18 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 of i love an arms 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 attempts to strike at a vulnerable proxy. or ally of iran and syria. and coming up in about ten minutes in crosstalk pace all of that when his guys debase the role of foreign post forces in fueling the 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 at saudi arabia. america wants iran out of
6:19 am
the peace negotiations but really the country that has prolonging this war is the core the cause of the instability is saudi arabia and it's it's absurd that saudi 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 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 but you know what i mean i find myself in a kind of a situation as an israeli to intervene between the ground 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 and lo and lebanon and syria have become there are enough of this war whether it was started by the saudis or the iranian government the.

6:21 am
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 because who would come here since two thousand actually contributed more in taxes than claimed benefits. gratian is a very emotional one a few. uncertainties and it's identifying somebody who may be responsible for the economic situation which many people find themselves very often receive every day and even in terms of it's so important to look at the overall number which is when we look at the. find that immigrants from countries who are wife after nine hundred ninety nine have made it a positive contribution it's

a tricky topic one that's constantly debated in the u.k. there have been recent attempts to curb immigration such as the scrapped one of imposing a thirty thousand pound bomb to 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 in the end it's the numbers that tell the real story. albeit a complicated one but the tough talking in the u.k. isn't showing any signs of abating. just there is still the r t london. and initial investigation into the crash of a boeing seven three seven in russia city of code zein was the blame firmly on the pilots it's thought flying air is the passenger plane to nose dive at four hundred and fifty kilometers an hour into the ground killing fifty people on board the first attempt a landing failed and during this second try the autopilot was switched off and the usually steep climb apparently caused the speed to drop attempts to correct that
