it is right now. the new round of talks on iran's nuclear program while the israeli prime minister travels to moscow in his last minute to an agreement. european blocks planning massive military drills and to maintain cooperation after the afghan mission finish it fears it will be hit europe's pockets. are reporting that. the majority of greenpeace activists detained for. twenty people have been released so far. today.

from a studio central moscow this is with the twenty four hours a day. beginning a new round of talks over iran's nuclear program today israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is in moscow and the hope of preventing any progress in the negotiations. has been following developments in geneva for. the delegations a currently locked in a meeting at the moment but we know that just a little earlier the e.u.'s high representative catherine ashton met with the iranian foreign minister zarif and we've had reports that that meeting has gone productively but essentially what we have here on the line is a historical deal that could potentially put an end to ten years of political wrangling over the of raney and the program now a lot of our viewers will remember that just ten days ago the delegations here in geneva came tantalizingly close to clinching that deal but it fell apart at the

last minute and thereafter ensued a bit of a blame game about who was responsible for it now what we do know is that journalists here in geneva have actually been banned from entering the lobby of the intercontinental hotel where a lot of these delegations are meeting and where traditionally during previous talks the journalists have been congregating themselves but police have said it's for security issues that the journalists are now confined to the media center which is about ten minutes away however a bit of speculation in the press camp is that the delegations simply don't want any any information leaked from their meetings before a deal is made what we do know is that a number of world leaders have already spoken very optimistically about the prospects of a deal being struck here saying that the chances for it are high and another bit of good news came from the iranian side saying that they would be able to make a concession indicating that they would no longer insist that world powers publicly

recognize their right to a nuclear program that had been a major stumbling block in the previous talks and with that off the table. delegations here can simply get down to the business of practicalities and maybe just maybe before the end of the week aaron. but you see the historical deal being made this third round of talks is taking place against the backdrop of the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu visiting moscow in order to meet with a florida man pearson and to bang not say has been following those meetings for us israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu is upping his the efforts to get a no deal on iran's nuclear pad to with the p five plus one popping in to moscow in a bid to convince others of his argument that it's a bad deal it's a dangerous. because it could see iran as

a nuclear threshold nation but russia is not easily swayed have been repeatedly said a deal that suits oh can be reached france's president francois hollande gave israel another expected shucked of support after rejecting the deal presented in geneva last week but iran's not taking it without a fight. 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 the problem cations. so what is this deal that has israel's prime minister running from one country to country the peace five plus one who want iran to hold its nuclear program in exchange for relaxation of crippling sanctions while world leaders will welcome the new voice of change from president rouhani israel's ally the us seems to be stuck

in the middle persuading congress not to slap iran with more sanctions during negotiations while battling a shaky relationship with israel president obama says he's optimistic that a deal can be made that will not jeopardize israel's security this follows a u.n. statement saying that iran is a welcoming increased inspections the starting line it may be complete but who will make it to the finishing line as the winner to bang with. moscow talk started more than a decade ago but deadlock in two thousand and five that's when becomes president and iran resumes iranian enrichment now dotting the peaceful nature of his intentions the u.n. security council approves the first round of sanctions against iran in two thousand and six concerns grow 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 stuxnet it is discovered in july two thousand and ten the lack of progress in talks leads to the use 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 gauche asians resume and the order in who's a columnist for the how it's newspaper believes world powers are clues to an agreement but many in israel or in favor of. of all indications at deal is in the making of course it could always fall through if one of the players insists on some minor point but the general direction is thoughts and agreement towards. reconciliation and many in the israeli public think it's a very good development contrary to what. would make it

appear. at least twenty eight people have been killed in a series of blasts in iraq that are skyrocketing bombings in crowded areas in busy streets almost every day more analysis of the situation is ahead here r.t. . first while winding down its combat mission in afghanistan nato is seeking to boost its military drills in europe the alliance commanders of planning large scale exercises which they say have to ensure the allies 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 years involving six thousand troops but the us led bloc has even bigger plans for the future upcoming drills and twenty fifteen which will take place in spain and portugal are expected to gather a force of more than forty thousand and whether financially troubled europeans are not so keen on paying for nato's ambitious drills was what his piece one of the

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 experience 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 rear 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 or 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's down to what he sees as a change in nato policy following actions in libya and towards syria. when most of them 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 and. the population is getting poorer and who are they getting more expensive these types of exercises are threats this 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. . meantime the european union is struggling to rein in the mounting government debt and the a sturdy stricken nations have been steadily pruning back defense budgets in recent years and hard economic times like the present boosting military cooperation is not a major priority what is going to check on discuss the issue with retired u.s. army colonel douglas macgregor who says nato is struggling to hold the alliance together. so the plan we hear up 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 their 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 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 in will in their ground and a lot of money. that is money is 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 sees future they're 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 was not a success we ultimately unleashed forces in that country sunni islamised forces

that are anti western. american and ultimately end is that it will be the interests of libya's future social and political development we don't know how libya will turn out as nato sees it as successful that's the message that sample from your shop which message that is about the 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 well maybe these exercises are not such a bad idea maybe if they for a while nato. actually bomb and invade other countries to keep itself busy with me in washington colonel macgregor and i'm going to watch him work. still to come in the program the fukushima plant operator may claim it's doing well in remedying the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami disaster but things don't look so great now

should lukey went into iraq as they did in two thousand and three so this is a case of the chickens coming home to roost but the key is the. people because we. see this difficult for security forces in iraq and syria to keep a lid on these things that's why it's important that the west pressure on the opposition. to stop fighting and to come to. isolate these sunni fundamentalists they have no place in the future of the region and the online team has created a special project to keep track of the growing casualties in iraq and to draw attention to the bloodshed it's just a click away at r.t. dot com. i i i i. 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 a honey pot for japan's maffia plant operator tepco who is sitting on a pyramid of subcontractors and according to police some of them have ties to organized crime poor working conditions and those 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 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 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'd 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 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 an agent action tepco relayed it to subcontractors and they 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 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 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. 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 so far the decoding of the flight recorder has revealed details
