it's. a victory for diplomacy after days of tense negotiations tehran and six world powers to clinch a deal a nuclear breakthrough deal bringing an end to a decade long standoff the divisions remain. iranian. enrichment program will continue this first step does not say that iran has a right to enrich but mixed messages so what exactly did the sides agree on this being the war has started three eugenie and it's good to be cooling for another six months experts warn that the deal's veg language could see all sides interpret the deal to suit themselves. in other news police in kiev news tear gas on a crowd of protesters tying trying to storm the parliament building as tens of thousands

document is the result of exhaustive talks the deal of the decade. there will be all sorts of interests will try to bully 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 measure of big 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. in the state of 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 the issue. 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 dream. 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 of peace the israel lobby the u.s. congress and did the petrodollar law in the u.s.

not to mention some legal counsel where says what's still very faulty the old rhetoric is expected to continue swirling despite a new arena and 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 word 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. there grammont has been much support in iran itself spiritual leader ayatollah khamenei welcomed it as a basis for further progress while some iranian experts believe that tehran well

going more than it will actually sacrifice. 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 tatooine reactor that produces medical isotopes for counter 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 the steadfastness of these from the iranian perspective and. standing for your rights can achieve results russia's president putin hailed sunday's agreement for opening the doors to further positive diplomacy on the iranian nuclear program or to his machine a question of our house more on moscow's reaction russian president like even to

pretend it 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 and acknowledged by the international community now the president said that this deal will bring a positive vibe to the development of the international situation especially and the middle east region and once again later including said that this is just the beginning and russia will continue to seek the bass solution in this matter. the

agreement in geneva was held by the us president barack obama with who at the same time said the lion's share of american sanctions will stay in place so washington correspondent reports it's still unclear whether iran sigh of relief will last for long in return for iran scaling back its nuclear program president obama has pledged what he called a modest relief of sanctions but the war crippling sanctions will remain here's what the president said we will refrain from imposing new sanctions and we will allow the iranian government 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 sections is what prompted the negotiations that led to the

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 reproaches 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. peace activists ryan dawson thinks

the u.s. plans to stick to the deal even if washington itself comes under pressure the u.s. is not going to give up on this beast you know we've had it be she called 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 it had nothing to do with the scare of a nuclear weapon here that was probably more the french who don't want to compete with the market for medical isotopes but there's been a lot of negotiation and a lot of time put in this and they're not going to throw it all away because the israelis are having a fit. for some israel's anger over the deal one a bit too far that the only that they country only just stopped short of making an explicit threat to attack iran prime minister netanyahu reaffirmed his tough stance at a news conference middle east correspondent paula slayer has more on the reaction there . 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 are now being undone the israeli prime minister warned that this state the first 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 cause for the destruction of israel to have nuclear weapons capability the israeli prime minister also saying that when israel's friends and allies are 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 not on yahoo also saying that israel is not bound by the greenman and that is a statement we've heard from the cross spectrum of his radio political leaders netanyahu in fact said that this was not an historic deal but he called it rather

a historic mistake now israeli ministers have been lining up to demand bats 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 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 that are 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 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 what the signing of this deal has indicated first and foremost is that israel is food isolated and even more marginalized by an international community that in effect

did not listen to the israeli concerns. gideon levy from israel's harks karats newspaper believes his country is too isolated from its former allies but won't take seriously the united states can leave also with a barking dog killed we'll continue with his takes but is really so isolated both eat the world his say it's world as they say and i don't think that this will create a lot of problems 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 me that iran is a among the community of countries and not isolated isolated iran is

always more dangerous than iran part of the west part of the east part of the world . iran has been on a long and winding road to reach this crucial deal its nuclear program was launched way back in the one nine hundred fifty s. with the assistance of the us but all that changed after the islamic revolution it was only in one thousand nine hundred six when the us chose the path of sanctions lambaste in iran by claiming it's a tom and development was for military purposes that's also in talks began but they bogged down in two thousand and five when iran's then president resumed irani raney i'm enrichment the un was quick to respond agreeing on its own set of sanctions a year later but they failed to stop iran from ploughing on with its nuclear program in fact in two thousand and ten it increased your name in richmond to twenty percent the international community saw that as a clear message that tehran wanted an atomic bomb which allegedly triggered the assassinations of four iranian nuclear scientists with israel's mossad suspect of

involvement by june this year iran had a new president something many saw as a game changer in tehran to relation with the west for web team has also been keeping a close eye on the diplomatic marathon in geneva so if you've missed something check it out on r t dot com and don't go away as we've got more news coming up right after the break. again there are three you take out your personal example of the government topping your phones and you know you see them later on to be years later you know some governments cannot afford to do that long we you know again some prominent journalism homes are gone some had just stayed i remember thinking at the time they discovered all this if they were tapping my phone for these three in consequential . nation demonstrating tapping into the telephone.

right. first street. and i would think that your. reporters would. instantly. be in the. uk i'm back here watching our to live from moscow on monday france thanks for joining me the flight data recorder from the passenger jet that crashed in central russia last sunday has been coated with indications still pointing toward pilot

error for the tragedy investigators say he calls the plane to nosedive onto the runway of cause an international airport killing all fifty on board now the trouble began with the weather the conditions were much stronger than the acceptable levels for 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. pitched the plane's nose up to gain some hype but lost too much speed and he lost all the aircraft so in desperation the pilot went in her emergency descent to gain speed and left that put the plane into an uncontrollable dive plunging it into the ground at four hundred fifty kilometers per hour your press cannot 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 their rivals for waiting to welcome their friends and loved ones home or instead grieving the 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 helped because some lost consciousness others had to lean on walls. just are close at hand to ready for the victim's relatives whenever they were needed ambulances are also on standby for when the shock is too much to bear was because the complications we're getting in of already began getting 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 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 the start of new evidence giving answers the latest footage of the crash is only raising further questions you've got this kind of artsy republic. we canvassed an array of experts in aviation engineers and even flight controllers from the mistakes that appear to have been made on that fateful flight their thoughts and more analysis are on our website. in ukraine's capital of kiev crowds of pro e.u. protesters attempted to storm the parliament building and clashed with police who responded with tear gas may be angry scenes demonstrators also hurled

a smoke bomb officers authorities say around fifty thousand people rallied in central kiev angry at the government's decision to suspend e.u. integration plans in a different part of the city a large group of protesters. against closer ties with brussels staged a rival rally artie's alexy or shops give reports on a deal that not only divided people from the country but also the international community. 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 not a correct one the notion which is shared by many political analysts as well because looking at the possible disadvantages economic disadvantage is that a great could have suffered from just joining the free trade agreement it's easy to see why first of all there was an isolation of the korean machinery factories could

have cost more than one hundred billion dollars altogether the actually which bank cannot afford at the moment so the fact is a lot more denies they can get closed and the 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 of the trysting 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's economy 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 compensation for for the football 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 russia 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 who blackmailed ukraine it would have been blackmailing ukraine all throughout the negotiation process let's have a listen to the russian president when i heard that 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. we've been speaking to some of the leading economic experts and asked them whether kiev could actually benefit from signing these trade pacts here's what we've heard opening the ukrainian borders to the e.u. would be suicidal because their export capacity is simply not up to european standards where is the europeans import would flood in and wipe out what remains of the ukrainian industry all the countries that have signed up to a new deal say economies have suffered badly e.u. is a sinking ship it's

a titanic of twenty thirteen and no one in their right state of mind want to join a sinking ship or buy a ticket to join a sinking ship so the ukraine's future must lie i think with russia with belarus and kazakhstan in a customs union the e.u. has conceived this is so serious an agreement like all the other agreements that it tries to sign with your band states as a geo political project in the midst of all these accusations against russia it's actually the e.u. which sees its ease with expansion as it should let it all and indeed an ideological project i don't think ukraine has lost knopper totally because there was no opportunity for ukraine in the e.u. deal to begin with it would've severely damaged their relationships with russia. the e.u. has little dirt offer on it so i don't think ukraine has lost anything. the afghan president has rejected advice from the countries in fund an influential council of elders known as the jerk or that he signed an important security pact with the u.s.

soon as possible i mean karzai told the three thousand strong meeting he would not ratify the agreement with america unless peace returned to afghanistan but washington has said any accord must be reached as soon as possible if the deal is sealed up to fifteen thousand u.s. soldiers will stay until twenty four until twenty twenty four and possibly beyond they would supports 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's very much enraged many of the afghan people now another contentious point is that the deal would give american forces immunity placing them solely under u.s. military jurisdiction political analyst and former afghan lawmaker daoud sultanzoy says that if u.s. troops check 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 that are going to. give certain tribal area. operations. questions of the other side. their old enemies they will not worry about the security of afghanistan they will not worry about our internal problems they will just pay attention to what their goal is and that's it in my view americans are tired of this mission they're tired of all kinds of fatigues that wars bring in that sense i don't think they have a big appetite in a larger operation in afghanistan up ahead outside of waco explores the waning influence of journalism in worlds apart.

one member of st petersburg's legislative assembly is trying to get child beauty pageants banned in russia starting with his hometown you know i couldn't agree more with this gent on this issue these kids' beauty pageants not only put a ton of pressure on children to achieve something absolutely pointless but they're also a pedophile's dream come true and are well very very creepy but why are they creepy that's because with you like it or not human beauty is related to sex so when you try to make children beautiful and wear bathing suits or let's just say active poses yeah that's called sexualizing children and it's disgusting although adult beauty pageants are also sort of stupid at least the participants are all adults so sit because beauty pageants are obviously related to sexuality should be able to participate in them until you reach the age of consent in your country otherwise it is just a pedophile buffet but that's just my opinion. hello

and welcome to worlds apart journalist how long did founded their status as the fourth estate supposedly independent of payout it 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 minsan 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 or 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 who 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 to 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 raking the marketing 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. saw her 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 the top in 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 to come available to audiences and yes i suppose the enormous 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 prosper. etiologies conduct was always a factor and that remains a factor you just mentioned the torrent of facts but how do you really 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 filled 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 massive reserve factual resource in being granted selves so that's quite different to what it was twenty thirty forty years ago that's one factor secondly all those social media. like the treasurer and facebook and all that if you were to rely on those in the factual basis. and without checking it would be very

misleading but nonetheless it's the social media can direct you in in various ways to where major stories are occurring so that it is easy for anonymous is a factual basis but as. an indicator of important things happening and it's only over outreach things are going is ations have because arguably you know your name your visibility is something that is very important in the media that's why people ultimately trust you and if again we have major and media figures like yourself dedicating your time and your life your efforts your passion to you. opinionated programs more than that very cumbersome job of just reporting that some would argue that it's not having much of an impact both for you . greatly exaggerated my role in our state.
