former students. took to. the carried over the stick countries uniting and praising the historic deal with iran differ on what led to the landmark agreement with the use of sanctions the main point of contention also. that the plumber opened up a new path toward a world that is more secure. storage. the u.s. fails to appease skeptics at home and some allies abroad as it's part of the deal attracts a flurry of criticism in washington and tel aviv. police used tear gas on thousands of protesters in the ukrainian capital kiev as a government breaks away from a trade deal with the e.u. .

this is r.t. coming to you live from moscow with me marina joshing. a world powers may have agreed on a groundbreaking deal with iran but opinions differ on what led to the long awaited success while some countries attribute the breakthrough to diplomacy others insist it's thanks to the pressure of sanctions that promise was found work or 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 continued into 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 and the six negotiating powers agreed to recognize iran's right to peaceful nuclear energy including its right to nuclear enrichment on the conditions that its program is placed under street controlled 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 this week throughout this long list of concessions iran's foreign minister still had a smile on his face and red sand he won for his country a partial easing of sanctions allowing to volunteer regain control of billions of dollars worth of much needed funds in fine banks we believe that it is the sanctions that have brought us to this negotiation and ultimately to the 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 to take steps. in richmond and again the russians and the chinese have played a very constructive role. the geneva accord was the result of the goodwill shown by the six nations and the european union and the hard work of the negotiations team and rounds 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 edging 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 it's powers and to run on a set to return to the negotiating table i don't think he is a big deal. big deal signed here in the middle of the night if he gave a change of what he'd like to see some people. now he won praise around the globe but the pivotal deal failed to get a unanimous welcome in the u.s. well out of close ally israel our washington correspondent each county excellent at how despite a 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 true to geneva. last night in small store. so the story states. it's not me who wrote a series of plays 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 corps batiks 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 obtain the hawks hunches are for lying security cameras 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 too late it's survived 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 the co-author of why a piece told us that despite having criticism at home and abroad washington won back out of the deal. the u.s. is not going to give up on this piece you know we've basically told war. hundred seventy nine and this is a major step forward and we have everybody on board. they're enriching to twenty percent to do with a scare of a nuclear weapon here that was probably more than you don't want to compete with on 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. while some u.s. lawmakers are also voicing concerns that iran is gaining a lot while giving virtually no venture capital host capability and explains just

how much to iran financially. 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 as they were a large proportion of these numbers are going to be coming from so the country can resume trade in gold petrochemicals and auto exports and of course this will equate to around one and a half billion dollars all the countries earnings will still be greatly improved to round 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 are not 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 us ones or need 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 or striking a deal with iran hasn't prevented g q magazine from naming the u.s. president among the twenty five least influential people. away with addition of crosstalk here in r.t. discussion broke obama's plummeting popularity figures. on this program we ask

if obama serving issues with the truth. judge the presidency of barack obama and george bush in the same light whatsoever i think obama is way worse than bush and i am not a big fan of george w. bush there is no compare and contrast between either president whatsoever besides having a spending problem politico just ran a poll showing forty six percent approval for president bush while you have thirty seven percent for president obama it's quite an irony at this point. the un rast in ukraine is into its second day as riot police here again as demonstrators who are responding with violence the protests are over the government suspending and association deal with the european union i hear she ask is the rainy in capital for r t higher likely will do tell us what's happening where you are is in trouble descending further. you've still remains in protest mode and we see

scuffles between the protesters and the police now and then at times they're using tear gas against each other in fact this morning we saw something like down a fight between the protests and the police in front of the government building and again a gas was used against both the protest and police use it against each other these people these protesters here at the european squinty if they're against the president's decision the government's decision not to sign a free trade zone agreement with the european union but there are many others who describe it as a very pragmatic and a brave decision and a correct one as well because looking at a possible economic damages which a great may have suffered it's easy to see why now the government saw several reasons first of all modernizing ukrainian factories to be in line with european standards which cost more than one hundred billion euros and this is a luxury great can't afford at the moment obviously deflated to modernize would have led to these factories being closed and tens of thousands finding themselves in the streets and huge social unrest also raising the communal terrorists who are

hitting the trees to guess what ordinary population which was supposed to be a main rule just. also who would have been like by many in the country so the government made this decision realizing that the european union would not offer any kind of compensation for the potential economic damages the i.m.f. even refused to do about a new loan to ukraine which would have helped stabilize its economy and other interesting twist of the story is the blackmail issue because during the week we saw some comments from european officials that russia blackmailed ukraine out of signing this deal the allegation which was staunchly denied by the russian president went back said that it was the european union which blackmailed ukraine charging blackmail ukraine through the entire course of the negotiation of this deal so you just have to see where this protests will go this still several hundred people remaining in this protest they set up ten pm over here which suggests that they could be staying here for us for a few more days at least. thanks very much for bringing us this update from the

ukrainian capital of senior szczesny there and also don't forget you can watch life footage from the rally in the brain capital website our team dot com well also on the websites today the financial hurdles standing in the path of ukraine's way to the e.u. i want to factors name there is a rising price of gas and its impact on the cost. can may just find a way around it by drilling for cheaper shale gas this year here crane signed 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 but sharon wilson would have 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 worked for industry first and then moved out to the country and bought my own place and then i

experienced the environmental impacts all 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. now the bank of england is optimistic about growth in the u.k. but there are many indicators more important than g.d.p. which suggest it's far too early to celebrate more of that coming up shortly.

terrorists are simply a bad groups of people located throughout the world no different than say a motorcycle gang or what have you that are involved in bad activities you're not going to solve that problem by invading countries overthrowing governments and occupying countries that's the solution that seems you're going to win it with good police 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. speak your language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on. reporting from the world talks about six of the ip interviews intriguing stories are you. trying

arabic to find out more visit arabic don't call. welcome back this is r.t. 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 fewer reasons for optimism are 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 for living 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 leaving 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 so 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 ever since the crisis began living standards have under a lot of pressure a real wages have been declining we've probably see. ten to fifteen percent erosion in living standards since the crisis began part of six years ago on next big it's never happened before. in multan 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 all. continued growth and learning new skills if your standards of education are 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 the underlying. economic into cases i mean where we go with what i think. an extreme wakeup call really i mean britain has a lot of things going for it. it's reckoned to be one of the most open economies in the world it has the biggest global financial center in the world so there are a 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 to gingerly and ultimately unless radical actions taken in those key areas britain's economy is living on borrowed time how can president hamid karzai has refused to sign a security treaty with the us until next year's presidential election he ignored a council of elders recommendation to ratify it within the next month if the deal is sealed up to fifteen thousand u.s. soldiers will stay in the country for tan 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 new to afghan laws 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 tribal area. operations and. 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 the wars bring in that sense i don't think they have a big appetite and a larger operation in afghanistan. look at some other stories from around the world in pakistan south and have marched against u.s. drone strikes in the country for task there is also a look a the nato supply routes and stop trucks the demonstrations started after an islamist party asked the state governments to press the west and the attacks this comes just days after a u.s.

the u.k.'s institutions even the pound according to some scottish politicians has named the twenty fourth of march twenty sixth as an it has day significant as a date when the acts of union between scotland and england were signed more than three hundred years ago but the idea of separation is strongly opposed in london with parliament's warning it won't make it easy for scotland to leave yes or silly as more. should scotland be an independent country it's a six word question that requires a simple yes or no but breaking a three hundred year old doing it could hardly be simple and the scots are not taking it lightly as it stands only about thirty percent of scots say they will vote for independence a figure those of the yes camp hope to increase by presenting that much anticipated white paper which a scottish national party says has the answers to all the questions about it dependents the prime minister david cameron and those who want you to the know katherine says that in the car this is laden with risks and problems with warnings

on just about everything taxes and debt the no camp suggests. higher taxes e.u. membership london says scotland could forget about it the try to nuclear program david cameron claims getting rid of it is a bad idea in case of a north korean nuclear attack and there might even be roaming charges of mobile phones if the split happens at the list goes on it's dubbed project fear by the yes camp and they accuse the government of scare mongering scots into voting no and they'd says the white paper will prove that independence would bring about a jobs bill and the thriving economy service that resonate with voters cameron argued that an independent scotland will have to negotiate in the future for the things that it has right now a london is signaling that it won't be making it easy for the crux of the matter goes back to economics a recent poll found out that if independents made the five hundred pounds richer more than half the scots would vote for reporting from london i'm tester cilia. and

coming up here in our former professional wrestler actor who now wants to become the president. 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 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 i don't pity pageants are also sort of stupid at least the participants are all adults 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. right to see. first street. and i think you're. on a reporter's twitter. instagram. to be in the know.

this is the place that has been consecrated to god for almost a thousand years people came here twenty some years ago to reestablish their last a life on the silence. and people feel the love of christ working. people so you can. but something happens on this island that makes them return to it again and again. join me james brown on a journey. only on. technology innovation. developments from around russia. the future.

hello and welcome to. the shop or not said well i met many titles jesse ventura is a politician actor author and u.s. navy veteran and a former professional wrestler analysis he wants to be president and he was our guest. jesse ventura does not associate himself with either side of the political establishment people in the seats of thirty eight governor of minnesota as an independent candidate he believes the same luck will push him to the top of

american politics as he decides to run for the presidency in two thousand and sixteen what makes him believe he will be with jesse ventura if you delusional or a fighter. pilot jesse nice to have you own the show today and now you want to run for president same two thousand and sixteen realistically do you think you can win. well first of all i didn't say that i was running but i felt that the opportunity was there for a third candidate to be successful in light of the fact that the way that our two parties have operated in the last few years in the last decade they've truly alienated the people to where the approval rating of the congress is at ten percent i mean that's astounding nine out of ten people dislike them and don't approve what they do. so i just stated that in the situation of

a third candidate you always wanted in a year where there's not an incumbent and twenty sixteen would provide that year there'd be no incumbent and that's where you'd have the motion of being successful and i stated that if i did run i would run under one premise and i believe i could win on this alone in light of the way things are today in the united states i would run and give the american people the opportunity to make history and to elect the first president since george washington who does not belong to a political party imagine that we've had only one president who is attached to what i refer to the political day and i believe the public sentiment today that a candidate could literally win the a lot because people are show shick and tired of the way the these two parties have governed and the way that they've ran our government into the ground and what we

stand for today so it not belonging to either of the main parties there are gangs as you call them ace clearly a major hand account for people because he who gave them money to finance our campaign for instance would you be able to raise money if you were a republican or democrat well that's the difficult thing because they've created a system that's based completely on the concept of bribery now if you do that in the private sector you go to. dale if you bribe someone but the public sector the entire system these two parties of created is the system of bribery you pay off the politician and you get an audience with them when i ran for governor of minnesota i only raised three hundred thousand dollars where the democrats and republicans raised and spent twelve million at that time and that was over a decade ago they'd probably spend twice as much as that today and i proved that you could win an ally.
