two days. from around the globe. looked. around the headlines this week on l.c. international. protests over the government's decision to pull out of a trade deal with the e.u. this past violently in the ukrainian capital. tough sanctions all diplomatic action while powers agreed the nuclear deal with iran is a breakthrough but differ on what made it possible meanwhile. this agreement has moved much more do. it we'll our partners in the region schafer. administrations facing pressure from skeptics at home and abroad as the deal comes under fire for washington and tel aviv. we would call

a month the commotion was a direct response to the country's leadership rejecting a trade deal with the easy he's a dictator chef scare reports now on why ukrainian officials got cold feet. from smiles to host styles after key if said last week would not be signing a free trade pact with europe e.u. officials were jumping out of their skin to persuade president going to call the church. think. you could see ruby and politicians were not too happy to hear the great in president citing economic troubles and as it became clear kiev was not going to sign the deal at this point with a violent dispersal of growth just in the capital that's when europe assumed a different tone we have to set aside short term political calculations. and we may not give in to external pressure not the least from russia

such tactics from europe which have been accusing russia of pressure in ukraine not to sign the free trade pact raised some eyebrows they should really really stop using the methods of the caldwell they're blackmailing ukraine add that to the e.u. offering no compensations to going for potential economic losses which could have been catastrophic in practical terms it would be a disaster for the ukrainian people it would mean gas prices going up the prices going up unemployment going up the industrialisation so i think in a could have a choice the e.u. deal is a very bad one ukraine already has a staggering foreign debt of hundred thirty six billion euro and just more denies it factories to standards would have caused a staggering one hundred billion or more with the people in the streets scared little about such implications. we deserve to be in europe right the deal would have allowed us to get better education in europe during the week

e of central square was the stage of the mass protest of those supporting your integration opposing president acknowledges decision not to sign the euro association deal in vilnius and even in a typically violent dispersal of their week long sit in on friday night with dozens detained and injured did not stop the protesters still insisted the deal with the e.u. will happen most likely in early twenty fifteen but after riot police peaceful protesters thousands are converging on the capital kiev to join the opposition's calls for unocal which to hand over the reins alexy recess the ante reporting from kiev in ukraine. and he is why the ukrainian government isn't over its head right now thousands of protesters as well as the opposition inside the parliament who want to move the country inside europe but the government finds the notion premature saying brussels often does not include such politics as one ship and privileges most your pains enjoy and that is. believe that life inside the union would be cheap but

seemingly attractive the government warns this comes at the expense of destroying the country's own economy and getting little compensation for the high end the opposition still insists it should break free of the premature pressure coming from moscow but close economic ties with russia including the free trade zone a shared business landscape and increased exports are pulling the state of bank together and while officials say moscow is playing an unfair game analyst patrick young believes brussels is just diverting attention away from its own failings. if the european union leaders whether individually or collectively started admitting to their shortcomings there'd be no end of problems wouldn't there i mean look at the european union massive run can employ and throughout the course of the entire union we've got things like fifty percent plus of youth unemployment in several mediterranean countries they have a euro currency project which is a fiasco built on science by the sort of deluded technocrats who believe that they

know the best thing for all people and therefore realistically the only thing the european union can try to do is keep elian storming anybody russia who cares because ultimately the european union started and has rendered wonderful supranational trip project is ultimately falling apart at the seams because it has become itself a crumbling soviet style empire which in many cases replicates some of the more ridiculous facets of the old soviet union. earlier this week international headlines were dominated by historic nuclear deal with iran how much doubt in geneva by six world powers terrine was promised and modest relief to sanctions in return for scaling back its nuclear program but the

countries managed to set aside their differences to reach the breakthrough agreement they do still differ on what made it possible move that from point by. it's a deal that's eluded 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 then 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 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. throughout this long list of concessions iran's foreign minister still had a smile on his face and written he won for his country a partial easing of sanctions allowing tarantula 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 due to the good in the super good 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 sanctions played as much of a role as the recognition by the united states and britain and other countries that we need to engage iran because iran is becoming increasingly

influential it is only an interim agreements in six months time well now it sounds iran is set to return to the negotiating table but after ten years failed. even scientists in the middle of the night it's a game changer polyploid a hot seat to me that. in the very first moments after the nuclear deal with iran was reached it was clear they agreement left not true for interpretation iranian. enrichment program will continue this first step does not say that iran has a right to enrich but. asia times correspondent pepe escobar him believes the u.s. is stuck in the middle of a delicate balancing act. this spin war has started at three am in geneva and it's going to be going for another six months kerry had to say that so

he could have peace the israel lobby do us congress and this one hobby petro dollar law of the us not to mention some neal cons in the us as well still very thoughtful and in iran it's different they are saying we still have our right to enrich you were already and it's correct because that deal keeping you reaching your reading to the size percent for the next six months for the moment we have a breakthrough it's going to last six months there will be all sorts of interest to try to pull barge 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 despite hogs and handshakes in geneva the deal with iran left many outside the negating room unhappy including president obama's opposition at home and america's closest ally in the middle east and i check our ports now on the skepticism 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 is my story. it's a story still. does not move 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 of 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 list hunches are flying 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 call the deal quote a blow to our allies in the region who are already concerned about america's commitment to their security and 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. guns bones and trade fine saying old polish old a daily routine and maybe a couple of minutes we'll look at how the troubled countries fairing two years after the ousting and. face plus. there are not people with disabilities who because people with limited abilities. are so short break with less than one hundred days before the paralympics russia's hockey players tell us how they're going for gold at the sochi when take a. peak weeks between thanksgiving and christmas in the united states a confluent rough group twenty percent of annual mall shopping during that period

of time people are much less rational one day when they shop certainly our modern people are often spending money that they don't have and spending it on things they don't need to accomplish what they have. what is the fate of the house of saud its list of complaints against washington is long and getting longer the saudis are furious over western dealings with iran disappointed that obama didn't bomb syria and one of its only real friends in the region is israel given all of this come how some songs afford what he calls an independent one paul.

this is the we can all see international welcome bonk the time between edinburgh and london rose a notch this week as this culture of government issued a blueprint for independence ahead of next september's referendum. we would call a halt to damaging wissmann support pushing soo many people into poverty to become more than seventy page document outlines plans to cut corporation tax extend free childcare and raise the minimum wage london strongly opposes the idea of separation of clashing with edinburgh on the issues ranging from currency oil reserves and the ship. has more now. should scotland be an independent country it's a six war question that requires a simple yes or no but breaking

a three hundred year old doing it could hardly be simple in 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 in 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 independents the prime minister david cameron and goes the ball into the no conferences but in the service is laden with risks and problems with warnings on just about everything scotland wants to keep the sterling pounded a currency union with the u.k. an idea dismissed by westminster taxes and debt the no suggests deeper and higher taxes e.u. membership london says scotland could forget about it the trident 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 and a thriving economy cern's 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 signalling that it won't be making it easy but 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 spots were growth rate reporting from london i'm tests are cilia . more than forty people were killed in libya on thursday in the blast as a military a gang had been trying to steal a new nation but all of them died in the explosion militias often attack on the bases in the country and government troops fighting with armed gangs is a part of everyday life there freelance journalist karim analogy reports now from tripoli for thirty. years although there are no more to you people were killed and

according to some reports there's up to seventeen hundred of them all with different goals libya is also facing an uncontrolled flow of arms estimates say there are around four hundred weapons depos with only twenty of them belonging to the government meanwhile about three thousand to aircraft missiles that could bring down civilian airliners have gone missing wish not affairs expert as a key way as the situation's not being helped by the hand a weapons coming into the country from outside. the government is totally incapable of running in these militias they're not going to disarm and then of course we still have the ongoing role of the united states and these other western states who are continually interfering in the internal affairs of libya and this of course could cause even more consternation inside the country because many of these militia groups even though they were against gadhafi they still do not support the u.s. or nato interfering in the control of her as of libya at this stage and website for

coming up next fence while the pond with exxon a point. 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 with the i 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

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. on the welcome to the world that's part of the holiday shopping season just around the corner some of us can't wait to join the. ranks of the idea of having to shop for gap how to survive in many temptations and pressures of the holiday season without causing a down both to your finances on to your relationship to the fact that i'm now i'm joined by environmental fake ologist and consumer behavior guru on the hill thank

you very much for your time sir. now the tradition of giving gifts is usually thought of as something voluntary something that is mounting hand social relationships social interactions but i think nowadays it's almost become an obligation if you fail to come up with gifts for a new year or christmas you may suffer certain social consequences i wonder how much of that is due to the moguls of consumerism who i guess would benefit from filling this pressure to buy something even if it's something that is still to. being a good gift gift giver is giving the tokens of your feelings toward someone else and. it isn't the amount of money that you spend it is the thought that goes into the purchase yeah i agree with you but i think if you go around helping.
