a limp the torch relay. on r t r r. this is r t tonight days of intense talks crowded in secrecy result in an historic deal ending a decade of diplomatic standoff over iran's nuclear program but divisions remain iranian. enrichment program will continue this verse does not say that iran has a right to enrich but mixed messages than so what exactly did the sides agree on. in the war has started. in geneva and it's going to be going for another six months experts warn that the deal vague language could see all sides interpret the detail to suit themselves. in other news a tear gas scare in kiev ukraine's government building rover one hundred thousand people protesting over the country's wavering on integrating with the e.u.

. and also the week's major news doomed flight three six three data recorder yields insight into the tragic crash that killed fifty in central russia this hour we reconstruct the jets final desperate moments. in the afghan president rejects advice at home and abroad to sign off on the security pact with washington that would allow u.s. troops to stay in afghanistan after twenty forty. seven oh and here they are to new center tonight just after ten pm moscow time our top story then it's a done deal six world powers have reached an agreement with iran bringing its atomic program under control and this is now a report somehow the document is the result of exhaustive talks. the deal of the decade. there will be all sorts of interests will try to bull guard this deal 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 major brick breakthrough at the moment but we have to be the world powers and iran reach and historic agreement ending the deadlock over tehran's nuclear ambitions after a decade of fell threats and sanctions diplomacy has prevailed but we're doing this to get the six negotiating powers agreed to recognize iran's right to peaceful nuclear energy business including its right to enrichment under the conditions of this program is placed under strict control by the i.a.e.a. of this you. iran will reduce its uranium enrichment from twenty to a maximum of five percent for the next six months and use no new centrifuges inspectors will monitor on a daily basis sanctions will begin to ease but while tehran celebrates what it

claims is its newly recognize right by the west to a peaceful nuclear program not everyone is on board iran's dream deal is the rules. and some details seem to be lost in translation this first step does not say that iran has a right to enrich but the current agreement the current plan of action as we call it in into this thing places. has a very clear reference to the fact that iranian. enrichment program will continue so while the deal is sealed the spin has just started kerry had to say that so he could o.p.'s the israel lobby the u.s. congress and did the petrodollar law in the u.s. not to mention some legal counsel says what's still very faulty the old rhetoric is

expected to continue swirling despite a new arraigning in president in place who's taking powerful steps to convince the world that iran never has and never will attempt to arm the country with nuclear weapons israel has between two hundred and four hundred nuclear warheads and if ever iran where it posed a threat to israel whether a nuclear attack or if it were to build nuclear bombs which it has not decided it is no lives but the deal still brings hope that dialogue is a match for the rhetoric that sanctions will surrender to solutions and diplomacy can break deadlock and he's now a r.t. moscow for the agreement scary much support in iran itself spiritual leader ayatollah khomeini welcome that it says a basis for further progress for summer reading experts believe that iran will gain more than it will suck or face here. the fact that iran is halting uranium

enrichment to 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 tehran reactor that produces medical isotopes for counter patients so the iranians have already produced enough nuclear fuel through enriching uranium at twenty percent no longer needed 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 the steadfastness of these from the iranian perspective and. standing for your rights can achieve results. russia's president putin held some disagreement for the doors to further positive diplomacy only iranian nuclear program or he's going to coach no one has more moscow's reaction action president like you and clinton has called this historic deal on iran's nuclear program that was achieved at talks in geneva a win win situation for all parties involved now the president said that this

agreement is just a first step towards bringing a solution into this very complicated issue now he also said that it was achieved only thinks to a mutual diplomatic approach from all parties involved now the president said that russia has always been calling for a diplomatic approach in resolving the dispute over iran's nuclear program and it is very important that the grounds that russia had been offering were completely supported an acknowledged by the international community now the president said that this deal will bring a positive light to the development of the international situation especially and the middle east region and once again let everything be said that this is just the beginning and russia will continue to seek the bass solution in this matter. let's get some more perspective now on the arabian deal and talk live to michael x. where these director of the center for persian iranian studies next to university in the u.k. gating c.

thanks for taking the time to be with this and they still think temporary as they are they said to last for six months could all this and mitchell talk in a diplomatic victory be a bit premature and you think well obviously things could change over the next six months there could be spoiling actions from one side or another. one can't predict that kind of thing but it is significant that the world's perhaps the world's most senior than six seven foreign ministers have got together and of agree at least a working plan for a resolution of this outstanding problem of figuring iran's nuclear program out of interest you think any of this could have happened if those sanctions have been in place if. it's to say i mean of course there have been sanctions of one kind or another on iraq. from the united states and from other countries almost since the beginning of the islamic republic so. for iran to be living in

a world without sanctions would be a somewhat different world than one we've been living in. i think sanctions have have an effect they've had a very damaging effect on the iranian economy and on the ordinary lives of ordinary iranians iranians are suffering and i meant that that must be a motivation but also i think there is a quite a good argument that iran has got a particular position with its nuclear program where it has mastered the technology of enrichment. and perhaps it's reached a point where they are actually really quite happy to make a deal with michael while you're on the line is wanted to ask about the wording of this deal and the agreement states and iran can enrich uranium up to five percent yet john kerry's ghar record to say that quote the first steps to not say iran has

a right to enrichment is a contradiction there before we even start isn't there well some people have been playing that up. allowing i suppose a alarm on iran to have that level of enrichment for this six month period it is perhaps semantically not conceding a right for all time to in which for whatever purposes. but to be quite honest i think we shouldn't be too distracted by those benefiting most them from this deal do you think it is benefiting most on either side i think the point of deals like this is that both sides should benefit and should be seen to be benefiting and at both sides should be able to go back to their own constituencies and they have got a good deal and of course that's what they're doing they're emphasizing different aspects of the do for their own constituencies but that's again normal for this kind of recent and actually those are probably all quite healthy signs to be honest

michael thanks for the program i'd like to hear their director of the center for potion iranian studies or exeter university in the united kingdom thanks that thanks. well the agreement in geneva was hailed by u.s. president barack obama at the same time said the lion's share of american sanctions are set to stay in place so as a washington correspond reports next and still unclear whether iran's sigh of relief last for long. in return for iran scaling back its nuclear program president obama has pledged what he called the modest relief of sanctions but the more crippling sanctions will remain here's what the president said 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 the obama administration now says sanctions is what prompted the negotiations and led to this deal we heard secretary kerry talk about this and the president others argue that sanctions have created this hostile environment which throughout all these years made it impossible to reach a deal we know that congress was just about to pass another round of sanctions the president has urged congress not to do that saying it would undermine all chances for diplomacy to work they're already blasting the administration for the deal especially the republican part of congress and their reaction ranges from accusations over giving the way millions and not getting anything to reproach is for italy needing america's allies u.s. congress has hardly been in favor of any deal with iran and it's very difficult to see how they're going to take meaningful steps to actually make the deal work

because this is a test agreement after six months all sides and not just iran have to take more confidence building steps and it's very difficult to see the u.s. congress doing it in the current environment on washington correspondent will one nation that some deniability furious over the deal is israel who some say get stopped just short of making an explicit threat to attack iran probably you know reaffirmed his tough stuff in a news conference or middle east coast. as more of the the reaction. 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 dispersed it could very well be the last it and he asked the question what incentive does he now have to dismantle its nuclear weapons program the israeli prime minister said we cannot and we will not allow

a country that calls 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 the green mint and that is a statement we've heard from the cross spectrum always ready political leaders netanyahu in fact said that this was not an historic deal but he called a guava a historic mistake now israeli ministers have been lining up to do them best to rein in 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 marching against a 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 trick that we're hearing coming out of television on self delusion we've heard that it's their message 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 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. well runs taken to lengthen for the path towards the story deal its journey that began way back in nineteen fifties when to run started its nuclear program is to look at all the news war it was only ninety six when the u.s. move firmly in the sanctions lambasted by claiming its nuclear program was for military purposes that's also in talks started but they got bogged down in two thousand and five when iran's then president

a militia resumes you radio in richmond the u.s. was quick to respond agreeing on its own sanctions a year later but they failed to stop iran from playing on with its nuclear program in fact up to twenty ten it increased uranium enrichment to twenty percent the international community saw it as a clear message that surround wanted an atomic bomb which allegedly triggered the assassinations of former a nuclear scientist with israel's most suspected of involvement then by june this year around how did you president of course something many saw as again change your interims relation with the west just look in our web teams also been keeping a close eye on the diplomatic marathon in geneva so if you missed something chakrabarti dot com a small chronicle there for you it's just after ten the year of moscow coming up we reconstruct the tragic crash of russia's flight three six three a week ago and report on the unrest too in ukraine following its decision to spurn the european union.

again if we take out your personal example of the government tapping your phones and you know you see them later on thirty years leisure you know some governments cannot afford to do that not only you know again some problem in journalism once again some has a state i remember thinking at the time and i discovered all this that if they were tapping my phone for this in consequential. nation demonstrating tapping into telephones. foreign debt a baby born today in the united states when it takes its first first breath. is fifty thousand dollars in. debt is that ringing home we have no money to do a very one how can you call us the richest country in the world when we're

trillions and trillions of dollars in debt. the flight data recorder from a passenger jet that crashed in central russia last sunday's been decoded with the indication still pointing towards pilot error for the tragedy investigators say he caused the plane to nose dive into the runway of cars on international airport killing all fifty on board when the trouble began with the weather when conditions were much stronger than the acceptable levels for landing this type of plane during what's called final approach that jet was just thirty meters off the ground when the pilot told air traffic control that he needed to perform a go or make a second attempt to land at the last second so he pitched the plane's nose up to gain some height but of that point lost so much speed almost. all the aircraft in desperation then the pilot went into an emergency descent to try and get the lift and speed again but that put the plane into an uncontrollable dive plunging it into

the ground at four hundred fifty kilometers an hour you corpuscle off went to the see 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 doc was dead although he was 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 the loss. of 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 full of students. we all knew what happened but many kept hoping until the very last moment that their relative sense survived the horrific

picture many became hysterical community doctors helped 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 was because the complications we couldn't pick ation in the early began gathering d.n.a. samples there nobody's 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're 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've got this kind

of r.t. in russia republic after their star. on campus in a ray of aviation experts engineers and flight controllers are the mistakes that appear to be made on my favor. more analysis on our website. clashes of broken out in ukraine's capital police fired tear gas on a crowd of pro e.u. protesters outside the government building in kiev authorities say they were responding to aggression from protesters who killed a smoke bomb forces over a hundred thousand people rally ukraine's last minute decision to abandon an integration deal with the e.u. that move split the crowds in kiev and also the international community to get the story now. ukraine is divided again the decision by the government to suspend the free trade agreement with the european union polarized the country these people participating in the largest protest rally i've seen in years in kiev say that they completely disagree with this decision they say the president must be impeached at the different rally just a few hundred meters from his supporters of the president say that this decision

was a pragmatic one and was the correct one the notion which is shared by many political analysts as well because looking at the possible disadvantages economic disadvantage such a great could have suffered from joining the free trade agreement it's easy to see why first of all there was an isolation of the korean machinery factories could of course more than one hundred billion dollars all together the actually which is great cannot afford at the moment so the fact is a lot more than eyes they can get closed and tens of thousands may find themselves in the streets without work and could create a social unrest another factor which was also crucial here is that in order to be in line with the european standards ukrainian government had to increase prices for heating oil existing gas for the ordinary population certainly this is something you in ukraine would have liked so looking at all this and other possible economic disadvantages ukraine to govern decided not to sign this deal it was looking for some sort of compensation from the european union but the european union did not offer any kind of compensations for the put potential economic damages and the losses essentially this is what caused the signing not to happen next week another

interesting twist in the story happening during the week is that the european union in fact pointed the finger at russia accusing. of blackmailing ukraine to sign out of this free trade deal the russian president hit back saying that in fact it was the european union but blackmailed ukraine it would had been work mail in ukraine all throughout the negotiation process let's have a listen to the russian president when i heard ukraine has suspended not cancelled but suspended negotiations with the e.u. he 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. just next to the afghan president rejected advice from the country's influential council of elders donors the jirga that he signed an important security pact with the u.s. as soon as possible because i told the three thousand strong meeting he would not ratify the agreement with america until peace returned to afghanistan but

washington said any accord must be reached as soon as possible and if the deal is sealed up to fifteen thousand u.s. soldiers will stay possibly until twenty fourteen probably beyond that would support afghan forces but will they still be able as well to carry out military operations against al qaeda and its affiliates the deal also includes keeping the right to raid homes that's an issue that's enraged the afghan people is another contentious point to it to the deal would give american forces immunity placing them soley under u.s. military jurisdiction political analyst and former afghan soldier and told us that if u.s. troops do remain it'll only be to protect their government's interests. if there are. ten thousand or twelve thousand troops in this country this would mean that they will only concentrate on their own special forces activities against al qaeda and give sudden tribal area. operations and bash questions of the other side and kill. their own enemies they will not worry about.

security of afghanistan and they will not worry about our internal problems they will just pay attention to what their goal is and that's it and my view americans are tired of this mission they're tired of all kinds of fatigues the wars bring in that sense i don't think they have a big appetite and a larger operation in afghanistan. thanks for being with us up ahead to examine the program expose the waning influence of journalism worlds apart only after the break . there's now an all new form of humanitarian aid for the twenty first century created by members of the occupy movement this is nothing to do with hunger or

homelessness but a different key problem in the so-called first world debt the rolling jubilee project has already bought around fifty million dollars in personal debt for americans around the country most of the financial obligations that they bought were for medical bills and now the people who had to pay these bills are free from their burdens the group claims that the secondary debt market is very cheap and that they were able to buy the nearly fifteen million dollars in debt for only four hundred thousand dollars the secondary market exists because banks try to sell consistently unpaid debt to third parties for less than a nickel on the dollar right now i would be begging the rolling jubilee project to get rid of my college loans but allow. yes this is always purchased anonymously so it's all pure luck who gets their debt purchased the important thing about this project is that they're actually doing something against the evil system instead of just blogging about it and although fifteen million dollars is a time a needle in a drop in the bucket it may have really saved the financial lives of many americans but that's just my opinion.

right to. first strike. and i would think that you're. on our reporters would. be in the. long welcome to worlds apart journalists how long do founded their status as the fourth estate supposedly independent they'll be out at three but as the lines

between news and commentary facts and opinions are increasingly blurred don't we need somebody to watch over there watched while to discuss that i'm now joined by our lands most famous reporter and one of the world's most intimidating to bit debaters winsome brown mr brown thank you very much for your time it's a privilege to talk to you when you began your long journalistic career i think it was clear who the journalists were and what was their status in the society what was their role but nowadays the media field is so broad so a diverse that but much everyone could be called a journalist. i wonder how would you define journalism nowadays i see a stiff fine in the same way as you were i would have to find at the beginning of my career or as i hope i would have defined to begin my career. that our function is to hold institutions and persons of power accountable and that remains the primary role of journalists that operate in the current affairs arena and i think

that remains the case but i think a couple of decades ago the main way you would do that would be through you know raking the market doing some investigative reporting but these days most of the people of your caliber and as i said to you are the most influential journalists in this country do these shows that primarily center on opinions rather than you know investigative stories and we can see that trend all around the world these days i wonder why do you think that is why is this transformer and this preference for opinionated journalism is so prevalent his opinion is journalism i've. heard different light that the factual reporting now is twenty four hour phenomenon and also with social media and with the internet people are getting facts on what's happening around the world very immediately and from lots of different sources so

the function of journalists has changed a bit and it is to make sense of this huge torrent of facts that become available to audiences and yes i suppose the enormous is of those facts and the interpretation of those facts involve certain opinions but that was always the case because for instance in the choice of stories that we thought were important that reflected our perspective our etiologies conduct was always a factor and that remains a factor you just mentioned the torrent of facts but how do we really know that we are indeed talking about facts. because all those social media that you just mentioned you know sometimes there are people who are not necessarily professional journalists who are putting the information out there on twitter on facebook on you tube. and those people are often seeking to influence somebody else's opinion on the subject so it seems that this drop of the reporting when you actually go

somewhere in the field and when you try to ascertain what really happened on what the facts are and nobody's really doing that stuff anymore yes i agree in part with you but first of all the internet has changed our access to sites that we have a mass of really factual resource in the invented cells so that's quite different to what it was twenty thirty forty years ago that's one factor secondly all those social media shoot. the the treasure and facebook and all that if you were to rely on those factual basis. and without checking it would be very misleading but nonetheless that's the social media can direct you in in various ways to where major stories are occurring so that it is easy carriage reliances a factual basis but as. an indicator of important things happening let's.
