former student. dropped. the carrot or the stick countries that unite and praising historic deal with iran differ on what led to the landmark agreement with the use of sanctions the main point of contention also that diplomacy opened up a new path toward a world that is more secure so the story says the u.s. failed to appease skeptics at home and some allies abroad as a part of the deal attracts a flurry of criticism in washington and tel aviv. police used tear gas on sounds of protesters in the ukrainian capital kiev as a government breaks away from a trade deal with the. amman

moscow you're watching r t with me marina joshing welcome to the program world powers agreed on a groundbreaking deal with iran but opinions differ on what led to the long awaited success while some countries attributed the breakthrough to diplomacy others insist it's thanks to the pressure of sanctions a compromise was found are reports on the talks and their outcome. it's a deal that some new diplomats for a decade. and as the crucial make or break iran nuclear talks continue to enter the night details of how they were going were leading the journalists camped out in geneva so we waited and waited and waited while diplomats from six world powers and iran inched their way closer to an historic breakthrough than after sixteen hours a tweet from the e.u.'s top diplomat

a deal had been done the six negotiating powers 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 i.a.e.a. . as we received word of the agreement we got details to iran had agreed to reduce its uranium enrichment from twenty to a maximum of five percent used for u.s. centrifuges while holding construction of a new reactor near the town of iraq. throughout this long list of concessions iran's foreign minister still had a smile on his face and its hand he won for his country a partial easing of sanctions allowing to iran to regain control of billions of dollars worth of much needed funds in foreign banks we believe that it is the sanctions that have brought us to this negotiation and ultimately today more

significant negotiation to follow for a comprehensive agreement others have stressed that it wasn't the stress of more punitive measures but diplomacy that won the day over the night in the case of these talks the fact that that the iranians have shown time after time that there is no evidence that iran's nuclear program is anything but peaceful is something that has been ignored by the western media and western governments but this despite all that iran's resilience has forced these countries take south. enrichment and again the russians and the chinese have played a very constructive role this team to do it in the suit with the agreement is based on the concept forward by the russian president vladimir putin iran's new president hassan rouhani is also seen as having played a crucial role in making the deal possible he came to power less than three months ago pledging to improve iran's relations with the west and i don't think that

sanctions played as much of a role as a recognition by the united states and britain and other countries that we need to engage iran because iran is becoming increasingly influential this is a leader and the interim agreement in six months time well its powers and do run a set to return to the negotiating table but after ten years of failed. the deal signed here in the middle of the night is a game changer what he'd like to see to meet that. now despite winning praise around the globe a historic agreement failed to get a unanimous welcome in the u.s. let alone as close ally israel are washington correspondent guy niche accounting so look at how the spy diplomatic triumph the obama administration has found itself between a rock and a hard place. today that diplomacy opened up a new path toward

a world that is more secure and flying in the face of president obama what was cute in geneva. last night in small ways sort of agreement. it's a story in state. it's not new a safer place in an environment where israel as well as many u.s. lawmakers don't think that iran should develop nuclear technology at all the obama administration had to engage in diplomatic acrobatics to both acknowledge iran's right to peaceful nuclear energy and not acknowledge it at the same time we approach these negotiations with a basic understanding iran like any nation should be able to access peaceful nuclear energy but because of its record of violating its obligations iran must accept strict limitations on its nuclear program that make it impossible to develop a nuclear weapon the scope and role of iran's enrichment as is set forth in the

language within this document says that iran's peaceful nuclear program is subject to a negotiation. and to mutual agreement despite the official's attempts to appease the hawks hunches are flying curators it looks like we've tacitly agreed that they will be enriching for commercial purposes down the road so i think you're going to see on capitol hill again a bipartisan effort to try to make sure that this is not the final agreement another senator marco rubio called the deal quote a blow to our allies in the region who are already concerned about america's commitment to their security and quote i think a lot of people both in the middle east and on capitol hill are very concerned that this interim deal becomes the new norm opponents of the deal in washington and abroad are already working not to let it survive the six month trial the obama administration is walking on eggshells before congress israel and its allies in the

coffers it's trying to convey a carefully worded message which is you cannot threaten war all the time in washington i'm going to check out. now to discuss the deal and its future prospects in more detail we have a veronica question him from the institute for foreign policy studies and initiatives here in a moscow russia thank you so much for joining us here on r.g.p. to discuss this breakthrough or historic deal as they call it washington is convinced that it says that it's thanks to the sanctions that a deal with iran has been possible has become possible rather in your opinion to the palate is really bringing the resolution closer what role did they play. indeed south charleston post on the run up to do last few years but also starting from nineteen seventy five have been probably the toughest sanctions forced any

state in the history of the. hillary clinton four days secretary of state for these sanctions strictly so he did such and such and so he even addition to other types of pressure. from the right we're hoping. however these sanctions actually helped mobilize people and you know mr rudd you want to work to do more. to build that will work which. is one of the speakers we'll see in diplomacy will be diplomacy going to be sure so just. did a lot of analysts to hail this breakthrough deal as the triumph of diplomacy well let's not talk about the role of the you know six world powers to go sheeting powers that they played in making this deal possible we're hearing that in fact

there are some reports are that say that the u.s. held secret negotiations with iran that made this deal possible that ensured success at the same time the russian foreign ministry saying that moscow's proposal . moscow had its own proposal that a deal is a based on so do you believe personally there was any particular country that played perhaps a leading role in making this deal possible or was it a common effort. russia or recently in the past months has become a new leader the king is in sold an international crises it's only see him resolving the syrian crisis and needing to be needed to restrike a showed hope constructing the road to russia late in the world today they needed help washington to get out of the even. that. even though they

sell into old world the run has been very constructive it should be if we lose in these tough sanctions that the console it's not such an old least the police have been out of this country even though the other side needs throws it shows to deeds that he runs we need to go at great lengths to choose to it's good will. well let's now take a look at add you know the possible scenarios here you know what will be happening in the next six months in other words can iran be trusted to stick to the deal you know washington has repeatedly stressed that it has a poor record of keeping promises what's your opinion. i think these statements of old we've come to trust you on who you the not the

instruments old lead to good pressure would you have to. look you know trust forcing these to trust bush and also to trust. international at the beginning of the. agency the problem is that in the past few years washington was coming up with new additional demons all born to run which were no model any agree actually iran carried out both the abbreviations that you subscribe need sewing. however washington can come up with this new demand sold the soothsaying to see eat eat we can trust fund iran is not doing what it has to do and does it's not the responsible international leader well you know in the worst case scenario into republican making agency out well in the worst case scenario if iran does backtrack on its promises. the us says that it will slap it was more and

harsher sanctions what do you think of this position i mean drive iran into a corner what consequences might a bring. iran has been driven very much in the corner one on one may say ways such as such multi-year level sanctions how would it still show a good political will also we understand that the reason of sanctions is the regime change it has stood into the us intelligence community itself has stated a number of times in its reports that iran has no nuclear weapons program despite that the american political leadership and belies the region skep insistence on the open sea and the international atomic energy agency it also was good was holding spec shows that he has conducted. a present beneath credit both of you

running the web's of the weapon so much so and we have to remember that iran itself over would install technical equipment and they do it. we need space seed to use. it for the international community to market to what is being done all right veronica question a good director general of the institute of war upon policy studies and initiatives here moscow thank you so much for talking to us here on art. well some u.s. lawmakers are also voicing concerns that iran is gaining a lot while giving virtually nothing artie's venture capital host katie pilbeam explains just how much to iran might be gaining in financial terms. the country can now get a hold of around seven billion dollars worth of commodities and financial assets we know that sanctions have crippled the country since their introduction so let's

break down some of these figures if he were a large proportion of these numbers are going to be coming from so the country can resume trade in gold petro chemicals and auto exports and of course this will equate to around one and a half billion dollars well the country's earnings will still be greatly improved to rand's earnings will still be thirty billion dollars less than before the embargoes were originally introduced golding the financial sector just over four billion dollars worth of offshore funds will be frozen now this is still a tiny fraction of the one hundred billion dollars that will still be inaccessible to iran but it does mean that the country can finally relented the global banking system once again long term or the hope is that the country can drag itself out of recession seventy five million people the iranians are struggling on a daily basis because products are so expensive there we know inflation is at forty

percent long term twenty thirty years it's all about investment investment into the country has been pretty much nonexistent we know in anticipation of this deal there's already been conversations going on with the global energy companies the european u.s. ones orning to get back into the country where they've been out of it for around thirty years now really make use of those oil assets and we're all always eager to find out where you think are the stories we cover so we can go to our website or to take part in our online poll and let us know what you believe will come out of a groundbreaking deal with iran. meantime infamous traders in ukraine have attempted to take the country's government office by force were stopped in their tracks by police spraying tear gas around fifty thousand protesters blocked central kiev outraged at the words disrupting a trade agreement with the e.u. for now the city center has turned into a tan camp with no sign the protest will and. in the ukrainian capital for r.t.

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 there's a different rally just a few hundred meters from his supporters of the president say that this decision was a brick magic one and was a very 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 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 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 at 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 government 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 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 the. was the european union blackmailed ukraine it would have been blackmailing ukraine all throughout the to go serious and 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. it wants to review everything we heard it's right from the e.u. to you cried all the way up to organizing mass protests this is pressure and black

my. second nine years ago hundreds of thousands of the greats took to the streets and like to change their political life political life was changed back that the country was not going to hear integration courseware that anything of the sort will happen during these protests broke bush will have to wait and see. party to a common list the financial hurdles standing in the path of ukraine's way to one of the factors named there is the rising price of gas and its impact on the cost of utilities. he of may just find a way around it by drilling for cheaper shale gas this year ukraine sign cooperation deals with oil giant shell and chevron which could help the country lower the gas price by as much as three times the current level by sharing wilson had to abandon her home because of onsite fracking says the benefits will not cover the damage i've learned about this industry the hard way i work for industry

first and then moved out to the country and bought my own place and then i experience the environmental impacts around me there's the possibility of water contamination water depletion and many many horrible air impacts and the traffic in just a huge disturbance knowing why it's been a fitting a very few people the industry and a few large landowners and it's coming at great expense to the people who live on the land. bank of england is optimistic about growth in the u.k. bods there are many indicators more important than g.d.p. which suggest it's far too early to celebrate war and that coming up shortly after this break.

if you're thinking about an alcoholic drink associated with russia it's probably not going to be one that springs into your head but they've been making it here on the black sea coast for more than two thousand kids and there's an industry which really can compete with the best the rest of the world has to offer i've come to meet some of the people growing the greats and to see if i can find out the secret to the public. there's a media leader so we lead to be. the seed bush and secure. your party is a vote. for shoes that no one is asking with to get that you deserve answers from

it's all politics only on our team. welcome back this is our team the u.k. is slowly recovering from one of the deepest and longest financial crises to hit the country but despite moderate growth some key indicators like living standards health and education suggest few reasons for optimism are just lower smith reports . so the bank of england's forecasts for economic growth is on the up unemployment is down it sounds great but beyond those immediate fake is a darker picture that pretty much all the measures by which we track economic progress are in decline people's real incomes falling more and more of it spent on basic essentials uniquely this generation of young people is worse educated than

their parents and obesity female life expectancy and child mortality among the worst in europe soon easing economics commentator jeremy warner says growth is good but warns it's unsustainable there's not enough exports is not enough business investment in this economy now provided the economy continues to grow the hope is that these things will eventually come true but at the moment there's no very little sign of them and you say that these key indicators say living standards education health these are all on the decline talk to me about that. yes well there are some other were very worrying features about the u.k. economy. ever since the crisis began living standards to be under a lot of pressure a real wages have been declining we've probably see. a ten to fifteen percent erosion in living standards since the crisis began part of six years ago on nance

big it's never happened before. in morton history really for the first time again in modern history we are seeing a situation where people leaving the workforce and retiring are better educated than the people joining the workforce and that's that is a very worrying phenomenon for the future because any more of an economy depends on continued growth and learning new skills and so on and so forth. if if you or if your standards of education. all declining the new relative income in future relative to the rest of the world is going to decline with it so it's a very worrying phenomenon what does it all adds up to then these underlying economic into cases i mean where we go and what i think. an extreme wakeup call really i mean britain has a lot of things going for it. it's still reckoned to be one of the most open

economies in the world it has the biggest global financial center in the world so the lot of things going for the u.k. but these underlying trends are very worrying and something needs to be done about them very very urgent warner says the government's doing some of the right things but too gingerly and ultimately and less radical actions taken in those key areas britain's economy is living on borrowed time. afghan president hamid karzai has refused to sign a security treaty with the u.s. until next year's presidential election he ignored a council of elders recommendation to ratify within the next month if the deal is sealed up to fifteen thousand u.s. soldiers will stay in the country for ten more years and they will be authorized to carry out anti-terrorist operations and have the right to raid afghan homes under exceptional circumstances plus american forces will be immune to afghan loss critics say u.s. troops will only stay there 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 i guess i'll. give sudden tribal area. operations and bearish questions of the other side to. their own 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 the wars bring in that sense i don't think they have a big appetite and a larger operation in afghanistan now is take a look at some other stories from around the world in pakistan thousands have marched against u.s. drone strikes in a country for a task there's also blockaded nato supply routes and stopped trucks the demonstrations started after an islamist party asked the state government to press

the u.s. to err on the attacks this comes just days after a u.s. drone strike killed five people in a remote tribal region. three people have been reportedly killed as islam has battled the government troops in the libyan city of benghazi the ultra conservative salafi movement has been challenging authority since the downfall of colonel gadhafi a claim the country lacks islam ist ideology so office has also forged ties with extremist groups in neighboring states including al qaida. i mean law banning street protests without prior police notification has been a shift in egypt it's been condemned as repressive by human rights groups manning believe the measure is aimed at supporters of ousted president morsi have been staging almost daily protests since his removal from power in july agent has been in turmoil since the two thousand and eleven uprising which deposed president mubarak. coming up

a look at one in southern russian and red white and brown. 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 will very very creepy but why are they creepy that's because whether you like it or not human beauty is related to sex so when you try to make children beautiful and wear bathing suits let's just say active poses yet 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 see it 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. the black sea coast is one of russia's top tourist destinations sung sea and the best wine the country has to offer but if those weren't good enough reasons on their own to come here there's also a little mystery but i want to get to the bottom of. my

long ago that there was a man named brown would come to russia's black sea coast to grow grapes and. he might not have been my ancestor the namesake in the region seen in the past take to excuse for a visit. one bottle of the family wine if there was another one i was going to find it and if i had to have a few of the local vintages along the way that was a sacrifice i was willing to make. this is a venerable institution in russia's wine industry the miss haka has been running almost continuously for nearly one hundred and fifty years and culture. is in charge of making sure it's still one of the country's top.

nice to me. what can you tell us all about you well this is one of the first places in the region and in russia as a whole off to the crimea of course when the first videos were set up. the miss halcombe been you know it's a joint almost mediterranean climate protected by mountains close to the sea and with winds that blow in from the step to keep the temperature balanced it's been a recipe for great great for over one hundred fifty years and some of the workers have seen quite a few vintages come and go. how long have you worked here but about. the future i've been working here since one thousand nine hundred eighty five when i first came to the vineyard. and i still work here. i really like this job so i've never worked in any other place.
