live from our studios center in moscow this is r.t. with you twenty four hours a day world powers are beginning a new round of talks over iran's nuclear program today in geneva that says the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is in moscow in the hope of preventing any progress in the negotiations by what say has more. he is said to try to convince for the last time with the russians to go with what he believes is an exceedingly bad decision in terms of the runs nuclear program now we know that the deal that's on the table is to try to hold iran's nuclear program and in return they will get a bit of a relief from the sanctions that they have at the moment france has already said that they will not supported what the deputy minister 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 tovey it's probably cations also weak when the told so happened that almost felt like there was some kind of hope but then through us that curveball and said then dr no go ahead with it we know that mr rouhani has been contacted by the british prime minister david cameron saying that this is the time that that needs to happen we know russians russia's president has also been quite vocal say it needs to happen now their dealings give it a chance not only that president obama has been trying to gather momentum from his life 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 since august so

it will be interesting to see how friends will vote this time and if israel indeed or what will israel do if indeed this deal does go ahead. well talks started more than a decade ago but hit deadlock in two thousand and five that's when i'm a division becomes president and iran resumes uranium enrichment doubting the peaceful nature of its intentions the u.n. security council approves the first round of sanctions against iran in two thousand and six concerns grow when in february two thousand and ten iran begins uranium enrichment to the twenty percent level a significant advance towards producing weapons grade uranium the u.s. and israel launch a computer virus to attack iran's nuclear facilities stocks net is discovered in july two thousand and ten and the lack of progress in talks leads to the e.u. significantly expanding its sanctions in two thousand and eleven the election of a new leader hassan rouhani allows for

a thaw in iran's relations with the west and the goetia sions resume where hopes are high that a breakthrough may be achieved but some say israel may try to threaten some of the key players. as we are approaching a deal between the two sides which was very probable last time israel is increasing these activities of throughout the world meeting with different leaders in order to convince them that if they struck a deal with iran it will not have good consequences for their region because israel will embark on some of our biliteral actions in the region which might not be beneficial to russia as well. at least twenty eight people have been killed in a series of blasts in iraq the bloodshed is skyrocketing with bombings in crowded areas in busy streets almost every day more analysis of the situation ahead for.

the first while winding down its combat mission in afghanistan nato is seeking to boost its military drills in europe the announced commanders are planning large scale exercises which they say have to ensure the analyze keep working smoothly together well like the latest nato war games held in poland in the baltic republics earlier this month these were the largest in the years involving six thousand troops but the u.s. led block as even bigger plans for the future coming drills and twenty fifteen which will take place in spain and portugal are expected to gather a force of more than forty thousand soldiers however financially troubled europeans are not so keen on paying for nato's ambitious drills. reports. 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. 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 called rare balm 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 we have our own. 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's down to what he sees as a change in nato policy following actions in libya and toward syria. well nourished 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 lynn 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 and. the population is getting poorer and wars are 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. . in time the european union is struggling to rein in the mounting government debt

and the austerity stricken nations have been steadily pruning back their defense budgets in recent years but hard economic times like the present boosting military corporation is not a major priority but he's going to church can discuss the issue with retired u.s. army colonel douglas macgregor who says that nato is struggling to hold the alliance together. 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 a huge expense for the better the economies what's what's the urgency well 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

them that we support them and what better way to do that than to conduct an exercise it will in their ground 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 they 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 a success we ultimately unleashed forces in that country sunni islamic forces that are anti western anti american and ultimately antithetical to the interests of libya's future social and political development we don't know how libya will turn out nato sees it as a successful that's the as an example for this operation is it that is a public message in 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 things that sizes are not such a bad idea maybe think for a while nato will. not actually bahman invade other countries to keep itself busy with me in washington colonel douglas macgregor and i'm going to check out the watch american. natives previous large scale drills in poland in the baltic states right on the russian border spot concerns in moscow but the alliance claimed the war games were not intended to beef up their defenses against russia however a former german intelligence officer thinks it's all about intimidating countries which are challenging nato's agenda you have to see this against the background of the biggest draw 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 a tail between its legs they need to project i'm sure of the word that these two got their claws sharpened and teeth strong all this is part of a continued effort of power projection of intimidating. nations that don't follow voluntarily the u. is for european lead. still to come on the program the fukushima plant operator may claim it's doing well in remedying the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami disaster but things do not look so great now more problems have been exposed. would like nothing like disposable people the promise things that lead us out when we received a large radiation dose coming up we report on why those cleaning up the crippled

targeted crowded areas most of them in shia neighborhoods twenty eight people were reported to have been killed and sixty five wounded on rest is spiraling in iraq with twenty thirteen the deadliest in the past five years while the total number of lives claimed by the violence in the country since two thousand and three is estimated at about one hundred twenty thousand with four thousand suicide bombers having carried out the attacks hitting police post schools mosques and busy streets a journalist who has been extensively covering the issue says the iraqi government is unable to control the radicals pouring in to iraq the antiwar movement in europe and the united states predicted that this is precisely what would happen if the u.s. should lukey went into iraq as they did in two thousand and three so this is a sort of chickens coming home to roost but the key is the. people because there's

regional city and there's difficult for security forces in iraq and syria to keep a lid on the that's why it's important that the west pressure on the opposition. to stop breaking and to come to the negotiating table but to isolate these sunni fundamentalists they have no place in the future of the region and online team has created a special project to keep track of the growing casualties in iraq and to draw attention to the bloodshed is just a click away at r.t. dot com. i i i. i i . i.

the disaster at the fukushima nuclear plant on the one hundred fifty billion dollar cleanup operation have reportedly become one honeypot for japan's mafia the police operator tepco is sitting on a pyramid of subcontractors and according to police some of them have ties to organized crime poor working conditions and low safety standards make those taking part in the cleanup feel victimized as. reports. 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 at fukushima came up i took it they promised a lot of money even signed a long term contract then suddenly terminated it not even paying me 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 and they kicked us out when we received a 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 the camera hidden in his watch he discovered that many of the workers were brought in by the infamous underworld syndicate the yeah 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 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 called the yacht could sell for help to the us with

them but fukushima is no ordinary construction site the workers drawn to the power plant by the young kids are 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 publish 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 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 importantly how many of them will feel disposable and expendable once their jobs and the. r.t. reporting from japan. investigators have found the missing tape from the cockpit voice recorder of the passenger plane which crashed near the russian city of concern so far the decoding of the flight recorder has revealed details about the maneuvers of the pilots moments before the tragedy on sunday evening the boeing seven three seven aborted a landing at the airport. after that the crew requested

a reducing the gratian 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 side says that those because who would come here since two thousand actually contributed more in taxes than claimed benefits the debate about immigration is a very emotional one. few. uncertainties and it's identifying somebody who may be responsible. for the economic situation which many people find themselves very often. evidence given in terms of it's so important to look at the overall number which is when we look at the trees to find that immigrants from countries where wife often nine hundred ninety nine have made it a positive physical contribution it's

a tricky topic one that's constantly debated in the u.k. how been a recent attempts to curb immigration such as the scrap of opposing a three thousand pound bonded visitors from certain countries or the valves going to round up 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 all the called located one of the tough talking in the u.k. isn't showing any signs of abating. r t one to. say for the moment i'll be back with more news in half an hour from the militant delves into the intricacies of a wall one of america's biggest stores is waging with its own work despite record profits and super c.e.o. salaries is breaking a cent just a few minutes. ago it is rumor spread this. extremist.
