4:01 am
is r.t. coming to live from moscow and we continue with our breaking news story world powers and iran have reached in the storage nuclear deal anding a decade long deadlock over iran's nuclear ambitions the breakthrough came after more than four days of intense talks in the atmosphere of unprecedented secrecy and a near media blackout i was in geneva with a delegation of russia's foreign minister to follow the discussions that momentous occasion first of all off to two sets of failed negotiations before this ten years of political wrangling over iran's nuclear issue five days of talks intense heated talks in geneva a night of several hundred journalists sleeping. in the media center waiting for
4:02 am
a decision and we finally have a breakthrough at that historical deal has been reached now it's hard to describe just how tense the atmosphere has been here throughout the night waiting for any sort of news from those negotiations to find out whether or not that deal has been made and up until the very last moment when we received the news about the deal being made there was no way of knowing which way it was going to go because sticking point still remained between the sides now the agreement that we have at the moment according to the russian foreign ministry coincides with what russia had been proposing from the offset in these nuclear negotiations now what are the details that we know so far well that we have according to the russian foreign ministry coincides with what russia has been proposing from the offset in these nuclear negotiations we can take a listen sergey lavrov talking about that right now in
4:03 am
a bit more detail. on this this six negotiating agreed to recognize iran's. nuclear energy including its right to nuclear enrichment on the condition that its program is placed under strict control by the. students and we'll let our you and us to these sanctions against iran there's the introduced by the u.n. security council russia has never recognized the unilateral. easing bratcher on the run should start with lifting. now among the details that one mentioned there by sergey lavrov is that this will be the six month freeze over iran's nuclear program no new centrifuges are going to be added and no new uranium enrichment facilities are going to be built and everyone has agreed to stop enriching the rain. five percent now say the deal here has been made it may only be
4:04 am
an interim deal for the moment which means that you go shea sions have to start up again in six months time but at the moment it feels like a historic breakthrough. while reaction from inside iran now and we're joined by a professor of cyber hominum ronnie from tehran university thank you for joining us here on r.g.p. to talk about the reaction into ron so do tell us how the country is reacting to this historic deal i mean is there only praise or do you hear criticism as well. obviously there is criticism i mean iran is a very diverse country and we have many political parties and groups but i think that the overwhelming majority of politicians and. political parties and political leaders in this country have come out in support of the negotiations and the deal on the harmony the leader of the islamic republic has supported the deal
4:05 am
the speaker of parliament and parliamentarians have supported so i think on the whole they see it as a very. important and positive step because it basically. shows that eight years of resistance and resilience among ordinary iranians from the perspective of the iranian iranian government in the state was was the right thing the iranian nuclear program which was taking baby steps eight years ago is now a very advanced nuclear program and the western countries within the five plus one have. been forced to accept iran's continued enrichment that is a major step for the russians of course have played a very constructive role and i think that this is within the broader. improved relationship between iran and the russians that it then that has been
4:06 am
taking place over the years and the same is true with china but the western countries from the iranian perspective have been forced to concede a major point and that is nuclear enrichment well you know many see this deal as a breakthrough deal and call it a storage of course but let's now take a look at some of the discrepancies there i mean we've heard earlier iranian president hassan rouhani saying that the deal seals to ron's nuclear rights and yet john kerry u.s. secretary of state to stress that the right here in the richmond is not part of this deal so why is there such a diversity of opinion or interpretation there. well the u.s. government has its own. audience its own internal audience that it must. speak to it also has a very influential regimes like israeli regime that has many demands. and they have to respond to those accusations being leveled at the united states
4:07 am
government by the israeli regime so the americans are pursuing a particular narrative but the important thing is that iran is enriching uranium today it is continuing to do research and improving its technological capabilities within the framework of the n.p.t. and in fact the fact that iran is halting uranium enrichment at twenty percent is something that iran actually wants because it's very expensive and the iranians have produced the fuel that it needs for the tatooine reactor that produces medical isotopes for cancer patients so the iranians have already produced enough nuclear fuel through enriching uranium at twenty percent it no longer needs it so halting that is actually an advantage for iran because it does not want excess fuel because it's very costly so the iranians feel that they do not lose very much and they have a lot to gain and again it shows that steadfastness these from the iranian perspective and. standing for your rights and achieve results well
4:08 am
as we all know all the talks an iranian nuclear program have been going on for. a long time years i could say but the u.s. seems to be convinced i mean just judging by what's coming out of the country that it's sanctions policies that prompted iran to sign this deal to what extent do you agree or disagree with these claims. well i think we can reverse that argument the decline of the united states the american empire the decline of europe the economic crisis the crisis of legitimacy the fact that the united states has been caught spying on its closest friends outraging latin america and and allies in europe the fact that the united states has invaded country after country that is aligned itself with saudi arabia and supported extremists in syria and when it wanted to attack syria just a few weeks ago american public opinion was completely against it despite the fact
4:09 am
that this stablish meant was for it this shows that the united states is in a much weaker position than it was in the past and that is why the united states and its and its western allies were forced to accept the reality on the ground in iran that the iranians simply will not give up enrichment for peaceful purposes the fact that the iranians have shown time after time that there is no evidence that iran's nuclear program is anything but peaceful is something that has been ignored by the western media and western governments but this despite all that iran's resilience has forced these countries to accept. enrichment and they can the russians and the chinese have played a very constructive role over the past few months especially our professors i will have them ready thank you so much for bringing us the views from tehran and their reactions from there. and despite hailing the deal with iran u.s. president obama said the majority of american sanctions against iran will stay in
4:10 am
place are just going to shake out as more from washington. president obama pledged to quote unquote a modest relief of sanctions saying return for iran scaling back its nuclear program not the relief will include freeing up a small portion of iran's overseas accounts as well as easing some other trade restrictions here's actually what the president said on our side the united states and our friends and allies have agreed to provide iran with modest relief while continuing to apply our toughest sanctions we will refrain from imposing new sanctions and we will allow the iranian government access to a portion of the revenue that they have been denied through sanctions. but the broader architecture of sanctions will remain in place and we will continue to enforce them vigorously and if iran does not fully meet its commitments during the six month phase we will turn off the relief and ratchet up the pressure while again that's president obama said the u.s.
4:11 am
would refrain from imposing new sanctions because it would undermine the breakthrough deal that they just reached a with iran we know that the u.s. congress was just about to pass another round of sanctions and the president has urged congress not to do that now although the obama administration now says sanctions have worked in these negotiations others argue that sanctions have created this hostile environment which throughout all these years made it impossible to reach a deal but still even though there is a temporary agreement the parties have already come out with what seems to be different interpretations especially on the key issue of whether or not iran has the right to enrich uranium we believe that the current agreement current plan of action as we call it in this thing places. a very clear reference to the fact that iranian. enrichment program will continue
4:12 am
and will be a part of any agreement now and in the future this first step let me be clear this first step does not say that iran has a right to enrich but no matter what interpretive comments are made. it is not in this document there is no right to enrich with him before corners of the n.p.t. and this document does not do that president obama on his part said iran should have access to peaceful nuclear energy but because of violations in the past he said he wants to be strictly limited in his capacity to develop a nuclear program now we have to take into account that the obama administration is now under a lot. worse which is hardly in favor of any deal with iran and its allies israel and some of the gulf states which don't want to see wrong sanctions sanctions relieved so president obama. he president obama as well as secretary kerry they had
4:13 am
to work their statements very carefully and ultimately their message to both israel and their partners in the gulf was that this deal will eventually make everyone safe or well if he was a deal has left room for different interpretations asia times correspondent pepe escobar says this could be a disruptive tool for those against a compromise with iran. the spin war has started at three am in geneva and it's going to be going for another six months kerry had to see that so he could go peace the israel lobby the us congress and the wahhabi petrodollar law of the us not to mention some neal kongs and us as well still very boncelles and in iran it's different they are saying we still have our right to enrich. and it's
4:14 am
correct we have to follow the letter of the agreement this means the enrichment of two percent ok knowing richmond until twenty percent for the next six months no new centrifuges won't these. specters which will be on iran practical going to the bases from now on if you have the usual infiltrators who will start spinning something else i'm sure iran won't break their promises it's in their own interest . now some u.s. lawmakers have already lashed out of the obama administration for signing this deal there republicans commons range from accusations of giving millions and not gaining anything to reproach us from our unity america's allies pepe escobar explains where else we can expect to find disappointment within the deal for the moment we have a breakthrough it's going to last six months there will be all sorts of interest to try to pull bard this deal and i am say special leave one hobby petro dollar g.c.c.
4:15 am
one archy interests and the israeli law the as well but for the moment we have diplomacy in action something that we haven't seen especially between us and iran for thirty four years so this is the bishopric breakthrough at the moment but we have to be version. well just breaking news here on our t.v. ongoing coverage of world powers in iran's a negotiation in the deal that's been reached as story can nuclear deal and being a decade long deadlock over to iran's nuclear ambitions according to russia's foreign minister and the deal the world powers recognize iran's peaceful atom and uranium enrichment under strict control of the i the you want to topic watched well let's take a more detailed look now at some key points of the deal that have already emerged first iran who will reduce its uranium enrichment from twenty percent to maximum five per se and at this level ensures a peaceful use of atomic material so iran is also supposed to stop adding new
4:16 am
centrifuges sticking to outdated equipment and keep the happy water reactor near the town of iraq non-operational the u.n. and no should have around the clock ability to chat and control any activity of enrichment plants in return sanctions will be lifted allowing to iran to regain control of some of its assets said to be worth up to four billion dollars for a period of up to six months israel's reaction to the milestone agreement and more comment is just to have for you here in r.t. . on the show about the technology keeping the moscow metro rolling. moving so that the techniques make waves in the oil industry and the dream team of robots to places too dangerous for humans. to mean for the latest news innovations here and.
4:17 am
4:18 am
program has been reached and a good decade long standoff between iran and world powers under the agreement to iran will freeze its nuclear program for six months in exchange for partial sanctions relief all sixteen yoshida nations hailed the deal though some issues are apparently interpreted differently. while one country not happy about the deal with iran is israel whose foreign minister even said the agreement signals the beginning of a nuclear arms race war details with our correspondent in tel aviv policy or. so if any of the response in the criticism coming out of tell of a base hotshot indeed comments such as this is a deal based on deception this is a deal that is reminiscent of the bad deal that was made with north korea and that this is also a deal that brings the world back to the nuclear arms race now that was a comment made by the country's foreign minister avigdor lieberman he has stated that iran has been rewarded by this deal he's actually called it the greatest
4:19 am
diplomatic victory that tehran has had in years but by comparison he says it's a diplomatic failure for the international community israel is not bound by it and that israel will not outsource its security that was a comment that was made by the country's economics minister enough to be bennett he went on to say that if in five years a nuclear suitcase detonates in either new york or madrid there will be as a direct result of the deal that was signed today we've also heard from the former head of the mossad tom he says that if a final deal is anything like this deal then really we are in trouble and that is a quote too later today we are expecting the american president barack obama to telephone the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu to try and lay some of netanyahu is concerns we also understand that there will be delegations of high ranking diplomats making their way to israel is also at me has shown that it is
4:20 am
true that isolated and sidelined by the international community and this is a comment that was also made by the country's finance minister who said that israel radio had a very bad choice here it was a choice between the plague and the cholera with you know appeared saying that israel was miffed all alone that having to explain the truth and all of its options were indeed bad and want to make the point though that at this point israeli officials have stopped short of threatening unilateral military action they say that more time is needed to assess the situation but we have. heard in the past from the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu great meaning that if such a deal is reached in geneva this will put military action back on the table while israel is angered by the deal on iran but the u.s. will pay out as usual to pacify them and that's the idea of a ryan dawson writer and co-author of why peace. zero has its own nuclear program it's a built in secret from technology that they stole from the united states probably
4:21 am
the u.s. will pay them off they already gave them a half billion dollars. next round of talks a couple weeks ago and so israel will get its get its money from the united states as they always do and they'll be pacified like that but the u.s. is not going to give up on this piece of basic old war with iran says nine hundred seventy nine and this is a major step forward and we have everybody on board yes the they are not enriching to twenty percent of that not only do we discover nuclear weapon here that was probably more the french if you want to compete on the market for medical isotopes but there's been a lot of negotiation a lot of time put in this and they're not going to throw it all away because the israelis are having a fit. also to go look at the long and winding road to the store deal iran's nuclear program started in the nine hundred fifty s. with the help of the u.s. but it's in the late twentieth century that tension started really heating up
4:22 am
around the atomic ambitions back in one thousand nine hundred sixty u.s. firmly moved down the track of sanctions lambaste into iran after alleging its nuclear program was for military purposes all told so one talks started but they reached deadlock in two thousand and five and iran is president at the time of what i'm ready to jog resumed uranium enrichment the un were quick to respond unanimously agreeing on their own set of sanctions a year later this though failed to convince iran to drop its nuclear program on the contrary into two thousand and two and it increased the level of uranium enrichment to twenty percent and that was widely seen as a significant steps towards arms production the move allegedly triggered the assassinations of four raney of nuclear scientists with israel's mossad suspected of involvement as finally in june of this year ron elected has already as us new president something mannie see as a game changer in iran's relation was a west. well more reaction to the outcome of the iranian who are in the oceans was
4:23 am
going to target now and she's a former u.s. national security advisor a middle east expert thank you so much for joining us here on r.g.p. to discuss this issue of well you know washington is convinced that the outcome of the talk is a triumph of u.s. diplomacy how much do you believe america's afterwards in fact did make this agreement possible i think the obama administration has been seeking any door that my open out talks with iran and i i suspect that she has had a lot of opposition from within one of the reasons i suspect that is that during his first term the head of his nonproliferation office was a man in gary same or who was also at the white house when i was there i noticed that gary samaras left the white house and is now heading up a. united against nuclear iran group which suggests to me that
4:24 am
there was dissent within the white house and the national security council during that second term and that there's been a concerted push to find an excuse and a way to bring the iranians to the table and to basically come to some sort of an agreement and what about other countries efforts i mean this as many see is a combined effort of other countries involved in the negotiations i think that. all the other countries involved were helpful except for the french and perhaps because of the medical isotopes. hard to tell with the french president is there right now but i think that the russians and the germans and the british and the americans who are all instrumental. i'm probably missing somebody here at the chinese were there as well obviously but. this is
4:25 am
a multilateral effort. it's too important a country to ignore and it you know we need to open the door. and perhaps you know i just want to ask you the question that sanctions as we hear you know from different. analysts here and politicians had that sanctions did play a role in your opinion what role that sanctions played annie i'm afraid i'm a skeptic when it comes to the. benefit of sanctions in at least an act causing regime change or significant change in behavior by a government but there are those who still believe in them i'm not sure what examples they point to but i don't think that sanctions played as much of a role as the recognition by the united states and britain and other countries that we need to engage iran because iran is becoming increasingly
4:26 am
influential and what we're seeing is a paradox where the sunni muslim. governments of the gulf are suddenly finding themselves in lee egg with israel and looking very bad while the iranian shiite influence is helping the palestinians and creating a completely new playing field. finally you know very very briefly just want to ask you this question does the deal mean that any military option military solution to iran's nuclear program is off the table now very briefly if you could they would never say it's off the table i believe it's always been off the table are going to top u.s. national security advisor and middle east expert live from australia joining us
4:27 am
here on r.t. . thank you well i'm coming up to take a look at the latest gadgets and gizmos in our team's technology don't go away out of the top of the hour of course we'll be bringing you more analysis on the breaking news story here on r.t. . in 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
4:28 am
secret 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 boo where average 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 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 . wealthy british style. is not on guys.

especially true if this next robotic dream team. brain is 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 sense in nature for inspiration this is resulted in myriad weird and wonderful 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 accounts 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.
