8:01 pm
life from our studio center in moscow this is our two with you twenty four hours a day and then the friends thanks for joining me. this is this is actually just in now the talks over the iranian nuclear program have reportedly just wrapped up but we have no official confirmation just yet in geneva there's no details about the outcome of the negotiations yet either there is an air of anxiety in geneva of course and we're in long anticipated a deal on iran's nuclear program could potentially be signed and although foreign diplomats and the iranian delegation sound optimistic no further details about just what's happening have yet to emerge so we've got paulie boyko giving us the details from geneva talks between the p five plus one foreign minister have broken up for a short while at the moment presumably for those foreign ministers to go and get
8:02 pm
a bite to eat before they go back into these very tense negotiations now we know that they will be reconvening in a short while but we did hit from the foreign minister a little and he said that the agreement that's being discussed today consists of three stages and he said that he can reassure that that potential agreement would contain public recognition of iran's right to. enrichment all the foreign minister spoke before going into these grueling negotiations this morning saying that they had similar concerns that there were a number of small but important issues that still needed to be downwards and that was that carried by russia's deputy foreign minister a little earlier when i spoke to him and he explained to me that one of the main the vital sticking points throughout these negotiations has been the heavy water facility in iran which could potentially produce weapons grade plutonium but the
8:03 pm
crux of this. is that iran wants to continue enriching uranium for what it cools is for what it calls all civilian this is according. any agreement that has come up with today they would have to agree to stop enriching uranium to a purity of five percent in exchange they would get a limited relief from economic sanctions for six months. at the moment we're waiting for these talks as i said to reconvene it's very much up in the air at the moment and it could go either way political analyst and former m i five agent told us it's important to remember there is more than just nuclear issues at stake. iran is sitting on top of a huge range of all and gas and things like that and of course we should not forget that they did. think of getting over a decade ago about beginning to trade some of those resources in europe. and that's
8:04 pm
where the u.s. battle fleet began to get really heavy diplomatically against iran and threatened so this whole issue around the nuclear weapons program real unreal hume's to be through smokescreen to try and karoly run into a tree continuing to trade its all natural gas in the petro dollar and the american economy that way. now the major obstacle to the deal is israel's opposition to any hint of a compromise during the previous round of talks two weeks ago the israelis apply great pressure to influence the positions of france and the u.s. artie's policy or has more from jerusalem israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu continues to be as critical as ever he has consistently called this a bad deal he has expressed skepticism over the rain and statements that they are not intending to build a nuclear bomb and he has also said that the lifting of sanctions does nothing more than merely give them breathing space now this growing statements by the israeli
8:05 pm
prime minister has seen his relationship with the united states hit an all time low the obama administration has criticized his all or nothing approach as the israeli american relationship to terri eight so what we've seen is an increase in the warming of relations between the israelis and the french the french president francois hollande was here in jerusalem earlier this week and the two countries spoke of mutual understanding of unbreakable bonds of common history and shared values many saying that netanyahu now sees the french as his new hero and this is of course because of the french criticism against the deal in fact it was the french that many creditors having prevented a deal from going through before. at the same time there are reports circulating in there has been for quite a few days now that the israelis are working with the some of these behind the scenes that the possibility of a military strike is now back on the cards as this deal is signed off the report
8:06 pm
suggests that the saudis will give the israelis if space there is talk of some kind of tactical support that they will give to israeli warplanes if indeed who follows through with his threats of a military strike once this deal is in fact signed off. i spoke to john limbert the former u.s. deputy assistant secretary of state for iran mr limbert was among the diplomats held hostage during the notorious crisis at the u.s. embassy in tehran more than thirty years ago he believes it's israel not iran which has become more hardline. but we've seen i think in the last three or four months since the election of president president rouhani and since some of the statements of the support of the supreme leader is i think a change of direction and a serious change of direction by the israeli friends tell me is within israel itself there's a lot of controversy over the issue of iran and what should israeli what should the
8:07 pm
israeli stand be and some of the more extreme stands that are come of that coming out which oppose any any deal are creating concern and concern in israel a lot of people are quite have been criticizing the prime minister look what what. prime minister netanyahu seems to be asking for is not a negotiated deal but in fact an iranian surrender where they are pressured into simply giving giving up well that's that's not a negotiation that's a so that's a surrender and if you get if you do squeeze somebody so hard that they surrender such an it such an agreement simply isn't going to last we'll be following the progress of the nuclear talks in geneva in the coming hours on air as well as online at r.t. dot com also on our web site we're asking you about the prospects of an agreement
8:08 pm
there to have your say on this issue. thousands of people have spilled on the city streets across germany it's what the death of an anti-fascist activist murdered in the one nine hundred ninety s. the government on a crusade against the views promoted by far right groups parties peter all over was at the event in berlin for us. members of the anti fascist group anti far as well as other left wing organizations are marching through central perlin now this is a annual march that takes place to commemorate the brutal murder of twenty one years ago of a left wing activist who was stabbed to death in a subway station by members of a rightwing youth organization now those who've come out steve take part in this march say that the fight against fascism and against naziism is as important now as it as the house being we saw in the past. could make can make the second world war and the cruel treatment of the usual people and of the
8:09 pm
communists of the fishes and we will not repeat this experience. behind the fascism of this always good capitalism reason that we have seen in history that every time we have a crisis in society fascism gets us the threats to society nessa passionately to those who are punished by the crisis which is the poor the working class the youth migrants who have to flee from trice in their own countries from war from poverty from hunger. that are coming here demonstrators up on the roof of the building say just behind the demonstration roots here it's all going over relatively peacefully a few firecrackers being set off a lot of flares and a lot of of hush chanting towards their food the the fall rice said this or this march has been heavily policed in the past we have seen clashes between far right groups and the anti fascist organizations the police have been and circling these
8:10 pm
these marches this year they've also shortened the route in which they've been taking to keep it limited to a about a two block square area to try and make shoot at the convent any counter demonstration staged by the far right and if those clashes. that we have seen in the past take place. german chancellor angela merkel wants to have a word with president putin over ukraine this is after it pulled out of a free trade deal with brussels and moscow accusing each other of blackmailing into accepting offers over integration deals are. more the first and foremost mission. to herself is to persuade the russian leader that the eastern partnership initiative is not directed against russia have been fearing this comes just basically our. welcome the idea of holding a three sided commission between russia ukraine and the european union on how to
8:11 pm
alleviate potential economic losses we should great. eventually joining. with the e.u. meanwhile several hundred people are still protesting in independence square some of these comments and emotions are compiled in my report back to square one for ukraine's politics or kiev central square to be precise in two thousand and four the orange revolution started here independence square the event which dramatically changed political life in ukraine and set it on the euro integration course. this square is filled with people again here because their president took a turn around well these protesters have been furious with the decision. for an independent ukraine to fight for tomorrow other people believe ukraine may have in fact the bullet. you decision to suspend the preparation of signing the association agreement and zone of free trade with the e.u. is the only one possible in the current difficult economic situation which we now
8:12 pm
have in ukraine do you have a delusion that life will be better in the e.u. talk to polish people talk to gary and right now the e.u. is a. kind of a death spiral may be you have as little right now to offer craning hours after the korean government's decision reports emerged that unocal each told his lithuanian counterpart in a phone call that russia economically blackmailed ke if out of signing the deal with the european union. i don't know what the ukrainian president was talking about with his lithuanian counterpart maybe we should all scar american friends about that well of saying that ukraine would not enjoy trade benefits with russia if it formed a free trade zone with the e.u. is blackmail how would one describe these statements by european officials i disagree that the agreement could be signed later it would be very difficult because too much risk is involved ukraine has missed a chance to remove the main obstacle in its way through integration with the e.u.
8:13 pm
. because when i heard some dodges found out yesterday that ukraine has suspended not cancelled but suspended negotiations with the e.u. and wants to review everything we heard a threat from the e.u. to ukraine all the way up to organizing mass protests this is pressure and blackmail having received no promise of compensation for potential economic damages from aligning with the e.u. give wants to create a three party commission with brussels and moscow to find a way to alleviate those losses which suggest unocal which has merely suspended not council the association strife the opposition meanwhile says it will continue taking people into the streets and demands that the president is impeached alexi russia reporting from key of in ukraine. r.t. has been gathering expert analysis on how kiev could benefit from signing potential trade pacts here is what we heard. opportunity to be part of an absolutely huge
8:14 pm
free trade zone it's a fantastic idea but the problem we really have is that already the european union model has been deeply compromised by the addition of countries that weren't ready such as belgariad and rumania the european union itself really has to concentrate on its own internal economic problems to say that this is a sort of a unexpected totally unexpected move is very strange because of course ukraine quest to balance and see whether it's interesting as well. as for example the european union to pick a leg to greece. or to pearl to go into other countries and impose a state and franzen's and millions of people losing their jobs. i think that it became clear to the ukrainian president general quaritch that if you signed their deal he is not going to get anything financially in the e.u. so you basically office things which are not tangible you know it doesn't offer
8:15 pm
immediate economic benefits it says that ukraine at some point in the future will have access to the e.u. markets but when will this happen. the prospect of integration with each new has struck a nerve in the eastern european country of moldova as well their thousands took to the streets in protest against closer ties with brussels people rallied in the capital chisinau demanding the dissolution of parliament they accuse their government of violating the constitution by going public opinion and trying to strike a deal with brussels at least fifteen thousand people gathered in the chappells main square in the organizers a velvet revolution. meanwhile europeans are now engaged in a mounting battle for their land that is the controversial practice of fracking for shale gas gets the green light by the polish government find out what's got people up in arms after the break.
8:16 pm
again before you take out your personal example of the government topping your phones and you know you see them later on today years later you know some governments can't afford to do that and only you know again some prominent journalism homes again some had to say that i remember thinking at the time they discovered all this if they were tapping my phone for this ocean in consequential. nation demonstrating tapping into telephones. the oceans. reborn to the united states what it takes its first first breath. is fifty thousand dollars.
8:17 pm
ringing a hole we have no money to give anyone how can you call us the richest country in the world when we're truly truly humans of dollars in debt. welcome back you're watching r.t. live from our moscow studios on monday france thanks for joining me from the greatest highs to extreme lows at the bottom of the world's deepest lake after heading into space as part of a historic journey to be olympic torch reached the depths of lake baikal divers descended on to the water with three torches that can burn hotter than two thousand degrees celcius and the olympics said will reach the bottom of the world's deepest lake with the flame still burning but that wasn't enough there were more surprises in store when it reached the surface artist james brown was there to see what happened. you're watching the climax of this very special torch relay out of lake
8:18 pm
baikal where the olympic flame is making history once again it's been lit and passed on the water by a team of three divers and now it's been given to the aptly named by call who even without his wings he's happily flying with the torch and his job is to take it to the shore where it will light up the olympic cauldron a fitting climax to a spectacular show out of one of russia's most beautiful natural landmarks. parties following the torch and journey across russia to the host city of the winter games twenty fourteen on its way the flame will stop at a few more landmark places among them the highest point of russia and europe found us don't miss this remarkable road to saatchi on air and online at r.t. dot com.
8:19 pm
the polish government has announced a significant acceleration in shale gas exploration in the next few months it comes in spite of multiple warnings from environmentalists and mass protests both in the country and internationally the majority of european countries have limited the controversial technique or else completely banned it such as france however fracking is flora on the other side of the atlantic than a chicken has more. when romania granted the us giant chevron more than a million acres of land to drill for shale deposits thousands of romanians took to the streets to protest they soon found out there was little they could do to protect their soil. in holland farmers stood up against chevron to fight fracking to no avail fracking pumps
8:20 pm
a high pressure cocktail of water sand and chemicals the underground to release shale gas from bedrock environmentalists say it has the potential to trigger earthquakes as well as pollute groundwater and the surrounding countryside the problems with show it with shale gas mining in poland is a question of secretiveness and kind of not telling people the real truth about what's going on and not always telling never telling the other side the downside and i discovered this to be true with the polish government and poor old polish authorities because they are in fact on the side of these big corporations walski partly shot his documentary drill baby drill in poland he says polish state television refused to broadcast that you know normal people. can get the information to fight against the corporations and the normal people you know the middle class people their objective is really to protect the land here to protect their place and the chevron. the corporations are here to exploit the land and
8:21 pm
they're going to leave but the farms will be here and this is really what the fight is about u.s. energy giant drills both abroad and at home and congress has been more than helpful to them domestically this week the house of representatives passed a bill that would impose a five thousand dollars fee on anyone wishing to stage an official protest against the drilling project. to become law the bill also needs to make its way through the senate before being sunk by the president this is. pathetic sad silly by industry to squelch democracy opponents of fracking on both sides of the atlantic or even more fearful about the future of the democratic process as their governments and major corporations negotiate free trade agreements like the one between the u.s. and the e.u. that would effectively enable american companies to bypass european courts and challenge e.u. governments and international tribunals whenever they felt that laws in the areas
8:22 pm
of public health the environment or social protection interfere with their profits and the opponents say it would give transnationals even greater access to their soil and leave the people with even less say about their land and check on our team . dr tony juniper one of britain's leading environmentalist tells us there's more than a serious price to pay in the future makes more money for some people in the short term and those people happen to have very powerful leverage over government institutions this is not about whether this is a better energy source or not in an economic sense it's basically a rigged market the environmental costs are not being paid for by the shale gas companies therefore we get a full solution as to this being a cheap energy source when in fact it's only cheap now because we're passing on the costs of it being used into the future for our children and grandchildren indeed we're already beginning to see some of the costs of this kind of energy being used in the in the present and that hurricane that hit the philippines
8:23 pm
a couple of weeks ago is an example of the kind of extreme weather conditions that we can expect to accompany rapid warming of the misfire. and oil pipeline blast in china leaves dozens dead we have shot stuff from in the aftermath of demi's power of the explosion on the surrounding area at the invision section of our web site plus. safe tweeting find out more about the security measures taken by twitter to safeguard users from the growing threats from government snooping that and more on our to dot com. on sunday the president of afghanistan will tell a national meeting of elders to delay signing a security deal with the united states until next year washington has put pressure on how many cars i to push through the agreement that would allow american troops to stay on afghan soil beyond twenty fourteen but he's been digging in his heels he says that any accord should only be agreed after the april twenty four thousand
8:24 pm
presidential elections and who are active as brian becker says karzai has to carry out a tough balancing act the elders assembly is largely handpicked i mean they're not supposed to make their decision until sunday but i think it's very likely that they will approve signing the deal although we don't know that with certainty anything could happen but just think of it if you would what the united states is proposing is that the united states will maintain military bases and soldiers in afghanistan for a quarter of a century twenty twenty four is almost a quarter of a century after the two thousand and one invasion this is a clear instance of a colonial relationship where the united states invades and occupies a country uses various pretexts and then maintains military bases so that ultimately whoever is the government after karzai the us will be to determine are the real power in afghanistan now for some other international news in brief.

8:27 pm
up next we check out what keeps moscow's famous metro system on track and on time in technology update. and my research i randomly came across a sad statistic according to the montpelier a center for the constitution only twenty eight percent of americans have actually read the constitution although the overwhelming majority claimed that they understood some of it and now we see why the constitution especially the bill of rights are getting whittled away the average person doesn't really know what their sacred covenant with the government actually says which means the government can get away with reinterpreting the agreement to suit their needs and not yours because no one is the wiser but if you think i'm going to say where bridge american how dare you then you are wrong the problem is that any kind of philosophy or ideology or just even asking why seems to be getting out of favor in educational
8:28 pm
systems all over the western world and beyond i mean shouldn't the average american be taught in school about you know america and like the constitution and capitalism how can the society advocate praise or defend values they don't have any idea about please let's get the stuff back into the educational system but i shift my opinion . with economic ups and downs in the final months day. sang i and the rest because i think we need to be every week. to go.

hello and welcome to technology updates on today's show we learn about the technology that keeps the moscow metro rolling. new serving a modern techniques make waves in the oil industry. and we take a peek through the innovation looking glass in this month's focal point. but first today's technology means that robotic help is no longer yesterday science fiction making many walks of life both easier and safer and this is especially true of this next robotic dream team. brains overbroad the world is a dangerous place so robots are frequently used to scout out areas and perform tasks to hazardous for humans in addition to the classic humanoid design is often sent to nature for inspiration this is resulted in myriad weird and wonderful
8:30 pm
creations but even if we have to go in harm's way a robots will put us back together again if things go wrong however building a machine capable of such precision in highly demanding environments still requires a human touch. set up in st petersburg twenty three years ago the account employs around a thousand people it's forged a name for itself as a top supplier of high tech inspection and maintenance robots for the nuclear and oil and gas industries the company of ships around twenty thousand pieces of equipment to twenty three countries around the world but the applications of his products on just limited to earth dia conses even manufactured components for space ship docking mechanisms and electro mechanical fuel valves for launch vehicles we caught up with the company's deputy director to find out more. about the company's mission is to ensure complete control over manufacturing processes and high tide.
