secret i have to live with the. breaking news from our tape days of intense talks shrouded in secrecy result in the storage deal ending a decade of diplomatic standoff over iran's nuclear program but divisions remain on the an. enrichment program will continue this first does not say that it has a right to enrich but. mixed messages so what exactly did the sides agree on this being the war started. in geneva. for another six months experts warn that the deals vague language could see all sides interpret the detail to suit themselves. and in the news which shaped the

week during flight three six three days data recorder yields insight into the tragic air crash that killed fifty eight in central russia we reconstruct the jets final desperate moments. but the afghan president rejected by sit home and abroad to sign off on the security pact with washington that would allow u.s. troops to stay in afghanistan after twenty fourteen. and thousands rally in ukraine over the country's wavering on the grating with the e.u. an episode that triggered a harsh exchange between moscow and brussels. and i welcome the watching our team with me. now we start with the main breaking development this sunday it's a done deal. six world powers have reached an agreement with iran bringing its

atomic program under control the landmark documents is the result of exhaustive talks not only for diplomats but also for journalists who found themselves in a complete information blackout reports now from geneva. this 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 a decision and we finally have a breakthrough 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 remains 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 we can take a listen to a lover of talking about that right now in a bit more detail. in this the six negotiating agreed to recognize iran's right to peaceful nuclear energy including its right to nuclear enrichment on the condition that its program is placed under strict control by the way this will boost confidence and we'll let our you and us ease sanctions against iran that danger used by the u.n. security council russia has never recognized the unilateral penalties easing

pressure on the run should start with lifting. now among the details that one mention 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 uranium over five percent now so the deal here has been made it may only be an interim deal for the moment which means that you have to start in fixed months time but at the moment it feels like a historic breakthrough well the agreement has got a much the port in iran itself a spiritual leader ayatollah how many welcomed it is a basis for progress while some iranian experts believe that will gain more than it was sacrifice 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 the important thing is that iran is reaching uranium today it is continuing to do research and improving its technological capabilities within the framework of then 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. well the agreement in geneva was hailed by u.s. president barack obama who at the same time said that the line share of american sanctions will stay in place as our washington correspondent reports it's still

unclear whether iran thaw of relief will last for long president obama pledged quote unquote a modest relief of sanctions in return for iran scaling back its nuclear program now 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 excess 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 months we will turn off the relief and ratchet up the pressure that 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 now we have to take into account that the obama administration is now under a lot of pressure from the u.s. congress which is hardly in favor of any deal where they want and its allies israel and some of the gulf states which don't want to see iran sanctions sanctions relief so president obama as well as secretary kerry they had 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 safer perhaps unsurprisingly video released a tide of criticism on capitol hill republican reaction ranges from. giving away

millions not gaining anything to reproaches for alienating america's allies the agreement is also being described as fundamentally flawed a few times correspondent pepe escobar explains where else we can expect to find disappointment with the deal. for the moment we have a rule it's going nowhere six months there will be all sorts of interest to try to vote for this deal and i say specially what have you federal dollars just for the interests and the israeli lobby as well but for the moment we have to go on a scene actually something that we haven't seen especially between us in the world for thirty four years so this is the vision great breakthrough at the moment but we have to. a reminder of today's main development world powers and iran have reached in the story nuclear deal ending a decade long deadlock overturns nuclear ambitions so let's sum up the key points

which have emerged firstly iran will drop its uranium enrichment from twenty to a maximum of five percent and this level ensures it won't be weapons grade atomic material iran is also expected to stop adding new centrifuges and decrease its stockpile of uranium enriched to twenty percent the heavy water reactor near the town of will be will remain mothballed in its agreed the u.n. will have the round the clock ability to check and control any activity the enrichment plants and in return some sanctions will be lifted allowing iran to regain control of some of its assets said to be worth up to seven billion dollars for a period of up to six months one nation is undeniably furious over the deal is israel with some saying it stopped just short of making an explicit threat to attack iran and now within the past hour prime minister netanyahu reaffirmed his tough stance during a news conference our middle east correspondent paula slayer is in tel aviv with

more reaction there paula he didn't sort of how the bank today i mean what he said was pretty tough. no you said you did not hold back what we heard from the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu in a brief press conference is that iran is taking cosmetic steps that it could reverse easily netanyahu also saying that sanctions that took years to put into place on now being undone the israeli prime minister warned that this state goes first it could very well be the last it and he asked the question what incentive does he ran now have to dismantle its nuclear weapons program the israeli prime minister said we cannot and we will not allow a country that course for the destruction of israel to have nuclear weapons capability the israeli prime minister also saying that when israel's friends and allies on mistaken he sees it as his obligation to speak out netanyahu saying that

my responsibility first and foremost is to go one and only jewish state that there is netanyahu also saying that israel is not bound by this agreement and that is a statement we've heard from the cross from always ready political leaders netanyahu in fact said that this was not an historic deal but he called it was there a historic mistake now israeli ministers have been lining up to demand best the nuclear deal the country's foreign minister avigdor lieberman has said that all options are on the table and that israel would act independently of the deal that is reached with iran essentially jerusalem believes that the deal is marginally better than the first draft but it is still a bad deal according to the israelis and they say it could get worse if the controls at all stipulated in the agreement or not rigorously adhered to the deal is based according to the rhetoric that we're hearing coming out of television on self delusion we've heard that it's reminiscent of the bad deal that was reached

and signed with north korea we've also heard from other ministers that it brings the world closer to a nuclear arms race and that there's no reason for the world to celebrate now the country's economic. minister pitt who is arguably also the second most powerful politician in israel has said that the focus now needs to be twofold number one on securing a final better deal better for both israel and the international community in his words and also to try and reestablish israel's intimacy in relations with the united states what the signing of this deal has indicated first and foremost is that israel is isolated and even more marginalized by an international community that in effect did not listen to the israeli concerns kate thank you paula that's artie's paula slayer. gideon levy from israel's her ex newspaper believes his country's too isolated from its former allies and they won't take netanyahu

seriously we were i did say it's can live also was a barking dog killed we'll continue with these takes but israel is so isolated about the world has say it's world as they say and i don't think that this will create a local problem is even if it comes from jerusalem if you judge it in a very cold way israel's security today is in a better position than two days ago because this agreement was for the benefit of all parties and above all i think that it's very important to know that iran is among the community of countries and not isolated isolated iran is always more dangerous than iran part of the worst part of the proud of the world. well iran's taken a lengthy and thorny path towards the historic deal it's

a journey that began way back in the one nine hundred fifty s. when taran started its nuclear program but it was only in nine hundred ninety six when the u.s. moved firmly into sanctions lambaste thing around by claiming its nuclear program was for military purposes and that's also when talks started but they got bogged down in two thousand and five when iran's then president ahmadinejad's regime uranium enrichment the un was quick to respond agreeing on its own sanctions a year later but they failed to stop iran from ploughing on with its nuclear program in fact in twenty ten it increased uranium enrichment to twenty percent the international community saw that as a clear message that wanted an atomic bomb which allegedly triggered the assassinations of four iranian nuclear scientists with israel's mossad suspected of involvement by june this year iran had a new president something many saw as a game changer in terrans relations with the west.

hello welcome back now the flight data recorder from the passenger jet that crashed in central russia last sunday has been decoded with indications still pointing towards pilot error for causing the tragedy investigators say he caused the plane to nose dive on to the runway of khazan international airport killing all fifty on board all the trouble began with the where the tail winds which were much higher than the acceptable levels of landing this type of plane during what's called final approach the jet was just thirty meters off the ground when the pilot told air traffic control he needed to perform a go around and make a second attempt to land where he pitched the plane's nose up to gain some height but lost so much speed he almost stall the aircraft in desperation the pilot went into emergency descent to gain speed and lift the part of the plane became

uncontrollable it went into an uncontrollable dive plunging it into the ground four hundred fifty kilometers per hour you piece can of went to the scene of the tragedy . the final traumatic moments of a flight that had almost completed its journey forty four passengers six crew members everyone on board gone. such a good boy healthy and handsome he had a good family his son is only three years old he made many plans for the future a tragedy that meant family friends and colleagues in the arrivals hall waiting to welcome their friends and loved ones home or instead grieving their loss. was meeting his two associates yana from moscow and donna from cameras in england one of the two foreigners on board that moscow took us on flight they were on their way to take part in a business master class for local students. we all knew what happened but many kept

hoping until the very last moment that their relative sense survived horrific picture many became hysterical doctors help because some lost consciousness others had to lean on walls. just are closer to head to ready for the victim's relatives whenever they're needed ambulances are also on standby for when the shock is too much to bear will expect complications we're going to pick asian in the early began government in its samples there nobody is only fragments the force and speed of the impact means there are few clues right now the flight recorders have been taken to moscow since they were badly damaged but could reveal what was said in the final few minutes in the cockpit and whether the plane was functioning normally twenty four hours after sunday's plane crash flights have resumed an international airport but it's not business as usual scores of people have been coming in bringing flowers to show their respects to the victims while instead of new evidence giving answers the latest footage of the crash is only raising further questions you got

this going off r.t. republic. can this new right aviation experts engineers and flight controllers have but the mistake that if they may. during that they like their thoughts are more analysis you can find on our website. the afghan president has rejected advice from the country's influential council of elders that he sign an important security pact with the u.s. as soon as possible hamad karzai told the three thousand strong meeting he would not ratify the agreement with america until pace returned to afghanistan but washington has said any accord must be reached as soon as possible well if the deal is sealed up to fifteen thousand u.s. soldiers will stay until twenty fourteen and possibly beyond they would support afghan forces but would still be able to carry out military operations against al qaeda and its affiliates it includes keeping the right to raid homes an issue that

some raged the afghan people and there's another contentious point the deal gives american forces immunity placing them solely on the u.s. military jurisdiction all of which leaves the afghan president under pressure from the u.s. and at home. karzai is worried of course that he owes his existence to the presence of the american forces that have kept him in power and yet at the same time he knows that millions of afghans resent our angry indignation about the fact of the united states government has run roughshod over their country for the last twelve years 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 an occupies a country uses various pretexts and then maintains military bases so that

ultimately whoever is the government after karzai the us will be the determine or the real power in afghanistan. and it's not just afghanistan having second thoughts over u.s. help in the war on terror. in yemen civilians are paying with their lives in deadly and merican drone strikes r.t. travels to meet traumatized villages these communities have been ripped apart. this week all but one of the thirty greenpeace activists arrested in the russian arctic in september were released on bail the group was detained after trying to board an oil rig and their ship the arctic sunrise was seized say has been following the court hearings. the twenty nine that the word granted bail are still in st petersburg they are not allowed to leave the country or even the city until the pretrial of the heirs happens and that date has not been given the only one

activist is still remains in the detention center until next year february his lawyers have said that they will appeal that decision initially they were charged with the piracy those charges were then changed to polygamous them which carry a maximum of seven years in prison they were in a moment's detention center upon the arrests in september then we moved to st petersburg in early november now of course of this environmental protests started off as an environmental approaches and it has now become a diplomatic spat between at the netherlands as well as russia the netherlands the vessel that to the activists had actually used where i had taken russia to the international law of the sea tribunals and asked them to release of the vessel as well as the activities of russia has said it will not do so as of the point everybody who was on the bed all recently and in the arctic address and they put themselves at risk. or countries targeted by america's drone warfare campaign yemen

has suffered the worst losses and despite president obama's promises for greater transparency accurate data on casualties is still hard to come by ortiz lucy went to remote yemeni village to see only to see the real impact of the unmanned strikes . it says no faith for the one who has no trust but both are now in short supply in this part of yemen for months the class has been without its mouth teacher and this pupil without his father this is the big show about a charity i didn't ask his name is still on the staff schedule but i leave hasn't been here since signing out of class on january twenty third the last of the the finality the father of three was killed by a u.s. drone alongside his twenty year old cousin salim a college student who drove them in a borrowed to yoda they picked up two strangers who turned out to be suspected al qaeda militants witnesses reported

a whirring sound in the sky and missiles struck their car. the smell of death was everywhere some of the bodies were burned beyond recognition the rest were ripped to shreds and scattered all around. they found a part of saline inside the car the rest was outside we only recognised him by a piece of his trousers. you couldn't tell who was who if they were even human it was sickening. one drone change the sleepy farming village for ever less than an hour's drive from yemen's capital kabul lawn is far removed from al qaeda operations but without warning it was thrust into the war on terror. saleem's mother shows me where her son used to sleep she can't bear to get rid of his things although she knows she'll never return home. can help us i don't understand until the next day that an american drone killed my son why tell me may allah deprive

them of their souls like they robbed us of our son he was the only one providing for this family all we have left now is our tears we only target al qaeda and its associated force and even then the use of drones is heavily can strike before any strike has taken their most. the near certainty that no civilians will be killed or injured the highest standard we can set. accept there was a deadly failure yemen's interior ministry confirms the cousins had no links to terrorism in a country where tribal ties surmount all the loss was felt far beyond the family the white house has never acknowledged the deaths let alone the strike but mohamed shows me the evidence this is what killed them what's thought to be a fragment of a hellfire missile launched from a drone. the u.s. believes this is its best weapon against al qaeda although not officially at war in

yemen the covert drone campaign has been dramatically ramped up here under president obama. yemen's al qaeda threat is real it's plot attacks on international airliners and caused hundreds of deaths the cia described it as the most dangerous and active branch of the terrorist network the defense is that drone strikes have seriously damaged his ability to plan attacks but critics here say it's doing the exact opposite it does not. contain the ghosts of the facts that may have contributed to the growth and expansion of. at some point when we can slug enough powerful enough then to be able to inflict serious damage the u.s. war on terror has no borders often waved remotely with cruise missiles and drones it's an undeclared global battlefield in which yemen is just one of the front lines of fight against groups like al qaida in which ordinary civilians also end up

paying a price. i ask obama to bring my dad back to life. all the kids in school have their fathers but we don't reporting and calm on in yemen and lucy catherine of. this week a delegation from yemen described to your u.s. lawmakers the horrors of drone warfare and called for an end to the attacks families of drone strike victims also described the pain of their losses as an international conference in washington activists were there as well calling for more transparency and accountability with some declaring america's unmanned strike campaign a form of terrorism. it was heartbreaking to hear these stories of people who had not even heard about the united states didn't know why these missiles were coming down and attacking them you know people who have committed suicide because of the mental pressure of having these drones hover overhead twenty four hours

a day in my mind having missiles come out of the sky from out of nowhere and attacking families is a form of terrorism. so i don't know how you can determine that somebody is a terrorist without presenting evidence against them and that's what the geneva conventions call for so you know these drone strikes violate many many tenets of the geneva conventions they violate the sovereignty of the foreign countries that we're attacking the drone attacks are not only you know not effective but they're actually counter effective because absolutely we are creating more enemies with every innocent person that we kill. feel like staging a protest to drilling me if so get ready to pay up the u.s. oil lobby is pushing for a bill that would make demonstrations an expensive luxury while you're giving the fracking industry a much colder reception all report in about twenty minutes. and record high.
