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

rally after ukraine ditched e.u. integration plans. also in a week's may news doomed flight three sixty three s black box yields valuable insights into the tragic crash that killed fifty in central russia we reconstruct the jets' final desperate moments. and the afghan president rejects advice at home and abroad to sign off on a security pact with washington that would allow u.s. troops to stay in afghanistan after two thousand and fourteen. you're watching the r t weekly live from moscow where we give you a rundown of the week's top stories. it's a done deal six world powers have reached an agreement with iran bringing at the atomic program under control and it's now a now reports on how the landmark document is the result of exhaustive talks the

deal of the decade. there will be all sorts of interest to try to board board 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 this to the six negotiating powers agreed to recognize iran's right to peaceful nuclear energy including its right to enrichment under the conditions of this program is placed under strict control by the i.a.e.a. of this. 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 is green. 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 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 ok yes the israel lobby the u.s. congress and did have the petro dollar law in the u.s.

not to mention some legal counsel where says what still very faulty the old rhetoric is expected to continue swirling despite a new arena 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 worked pose a threat to israel whether a nuclear attack or if it were to build nuclear bombs which it has not decided it is know much 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. the agreement has gained much support in iran itself spiritual leader ayatollah khamenei welcomed it as a basis for further progress on iranian experts believe the tehran will gain 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 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 held sunday's agreement for opening the doors to further positive diplomacy on the iranian nuclear program. has more on moscow's reaction russian president vladimir putin 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 president barack obama who says the lion's share of american sanctions will actually stay in place meanwhile some of american politicians remain skeptical of the new deal pushing to impose new economic penalties against tehran as our washington correspondent reports it's still unclear whether iran sigh of relief will last 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 excess to a portion of the revenue that they have been denied through sanctions. but the broader orchid texture 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 peace activists ryan dawson says 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 were the ranges nine hundred seventy nine and this is a major step forward and we have everybody on board. the they are not enriching to twenty percent it has nothing to do with the skin of a nuclear weapon you know it's probably more the french who don't 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. israel has condemned the deal in no uncertain terms labeling the historic agreement a historic mistake prime minister netanyahu reaffirmed his tough stance against the accord claiming that it and dangerous his country in the whole world our 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 on now being undone the israeli prime minister warned that this step because 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 the one and only jewish state that there is netanyahu also saying that israel is not bound by the greenman and that is a statement we've heard from the cross spectrum of israeli 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 the 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 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 haaretz newspaper believes his country is too isolated from its former allies and now they won't take that nakor seriously the united states could leave also with a barking dog killed will continue with his takes but is already so isolated that 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 know that iran is big 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 duo in 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 but it was only in one thousand nine hundred six when the us chose the path of sanctions lambaste iran by claiming its atomic development 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 ahmadinejad resumed uranium enrichment at 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 two thousand and ten. they increased uranium enrichment up to twenty percent that the international community saw that as a clear message that iran 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 thing many saw as a game changer in terrans relations with the west now our web team has also been keeping a very close eye on the diplomatic marathon in geneva so if you've missed anything check it out on our team dot com. we're heading into a break right now but still to come a little bit of sunshine for all but one of the thirty people arrested during a greenpeace protest any russian oil platform in the arctic they are released on bail plus. special camera that scans my space it recognizes that i'm female and aged between thirty and forty. seven such information advertised. check out the checks you out we report on the high tech marketing which directly targets queuing british shoppers to better pitch their products that's all in a couple of minutes. down

work and intelligence gathering that's how you'll defeat terrorism they are just simply little pockets of bad people throughout the world you have to deal with and creating an empire an occupying nations with your military is not the answer. welcome back you're watching are to live from moscow and the french 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 playing to nosedive onto the runway of cars and international airports 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 he pitched the plane's nose up to gain some height but lost too much speed. 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 dramatic moments of a flight that had almost completed its journey forty four passengers six crew members everyone on board gone talk 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 their rivals for waiting to welcome their friends and loved ones home or instead leaving their last. 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 the 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 says are also on standby for when the shock is too much to bear because because there are complications we're getting in the early began gathering to an example 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 the start of new ever. giving answers the latest footage of the crush is only reason for the questions you go to school for tea in russ's republic the other story. we can invest in a ray of aviation experts engineers and flight controllers over the mistakes that appear to have been made on that fateful flight their thoughts and more analysis are on our website. also online images from japan where a volcanic volcanic eruption has created a new island before video is in the invision section of the site. plus. the olympic torch reached the bottom of lake by call the deepest in the world with the flame still burning check out the remarkable footage of r.t. dot com. in ukraine's capital kiev crowds of pro e.u. protesters attempted to storm the parliament building and clashed with police. who

responded with tear gas. authorities say around fifty thousand people rallied in central kiev angry at the government's decision to suspend integration plans for a different part of the city a large group of protesters staged a rival rally against closer ties with brussels artie's alexy or chef he reports on a deal that not only divided people within 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 on his supporters of the president say that this decision was a bridge magic 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 that ukraine could have suffered from joining the free trade agreement it's easy to see why first of all there was an isolation of ukrainian machinery

factories could have cost more than one hundred billion dollars altogether 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 greater 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 it just didn't 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 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 for the put for potential economic damages and losses essentially this is what's 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 and 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 leading economic experts asking them what their plan could actually benefit from signing a straight path here's what we've heard opening the ukrainian borders to the e.u. would be suicide because their export capacity is simply not up to european standards where is the europeans import floody and wiped 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 an agreement like all the other agreements that it tries to sign with the whole reason your bid 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 off of that so i don't think ukraine has lost anything. 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 i made karzai told the three thousand strong meeting he would not ratify the agreement with america until peace returned to afghanistan but washington has said any accord must be reached as soon as possible the proposals would see up to fifteen thousand u.s. soldiers staying in the country until two thousand and twenty four now they would support afghan forces they would still be able to carry out military operations against al qaeda and its affiliates this includes keeping the right to raid homes now that has been a major point of contention amongst the afghan people as you can imagine there's another contentious point the deal would also give american forces immunity it would place them solely under the u.s. military jurisdiction political analyst and former afghan lawmaker dullsville tens ois says that if u.s. troops do remain it will only be to protect the interests of their government 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. give certain tribal area. operations and bearish questions of the other side kill. 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 tired of all kinds of fatigues the wars bring in that sense i don't think they have a big appetite in a larger operation in afghanistan. it's not just afghanistan having a second thought over a u.s. help in the war on terror. for any struggles taking there must be near certainty that no civilians will be killed or injured in yemen civilians are paying a high price for the deadly failures of american drone strikes r.t.
