welcome back to the r.t. news hour more of our headline news now in the hard won twenty fifteen iran nuclear deal is now on the brink of total collapse tehran says it's losing faith in europe's ability to salvage the agreement following america's controversial withdrawal in may under the accord a round curb its nuclear ambitions in return for the easing of sanctions with more details his policy. well iran has warned that it may soon exit the nuclear deal that is known as the joint comprehensive plan of action we're hearing from the rainey and deputy foreign minister who says it is clear that the future of the deal now hangs in the balance i told the conference today the. in terms of unit because it has lost its balance as a result of the u.s. withdrawal from the do you the iranian deputy foreign minister was speaking to the press in vienna where the remaining signatories are meeting to try and salvage what at the time was termed a landmark agreement but what we are hearing from taran is they are insisting on

some kind of assurances from those remaining signatories in the most notable among them being europe that they will be amendments put in place to offset the negative impact of washington withdrawing it was back in may that the american president donald trump decided to ditch the deal it's a deal that the several years in the making it was a deal that trump has created we're still one of the worst that america has every sign on and since his election campaign he promised that he was going to hear from the deal not only he has withdrawn from it so he's also announced that his we are facing sanctions against iran and at the same time has to come down even harder on the islamic republic and this is despite the fact there are warnings that doing so could have dire consequences now since then europe has been scrambling and trying hard to convince the iranians that they remain committed to the deal but what we certainly hearing from taran is skepticism as to whether or not europe can offer

something of real interest and what this essentially means is that the prospect of iran withdrawing from the nuclear agreement is becoming ever and ever more imminent . while i go reaction from political communication professor ford is already from tehran university who says there could be very serious repercussions if the deal is completely abandoned. it may actually lead to a war that's why both iran and europe are interested to save in the age limit but if the agreement is finished totally after us with the. conflicts that we already have been in the middle east are going to increase and i think the reason is that people foreign minister talked about. him and he. says it is basically an attempt to push europe to actually work harder to make sure that. iran is able to

a state where iran has been saying is that you can have sanctions or you can have nuclear program. limitations but you cannot have both you cannot have iran limiting its nuclear program and have the sanctions at the same time you cannot have your cake and eat it too that's basically iran's argument and the people in iran hoping that europe will actually do what they need to do. prince of wales and his wife the duchess of cornwall took a trip to the english city of seoul british friday charles and camilla were looking to lift its spirit in the wake of the poisoning of a former russian double agent and his daughter in march on a search that has the details. it's certainly been trying their best we aren't even sol's very which almost four months ago now became the epicenter of this massive scandal that took over headlines all over the world where double former double agency his call and his thirty three year old daughter uit were found slumped on a park bench right here in salzburg and indeed all of the attention all eyes were

about to celebrate today as the prince of wales charles and the duchess of cornwall camilla have been paying a visit indeed to boost the syrian city spirits and really help it out on its way to what's being described as recovery but some of the locals we've been speaking to here seem to have a little bit of a sense of fatigue when it comes to this whole saga already people. are often go for get through it because it's almost never have time for but for. some cory booker the news. will be some of the choice of the guys go so it will start with i think it will take people a month but it is building back up and i have noticed around the time sort of a coming back it. well if you remember all of this kick started on march fourth when service and yuliya were found on a park bench they were taken to a hospital it was later announced that they had been poisoned by

a nerve agent that was dubbed novacek and immediately all hands pointed to russia the british government a few reports said it's highly likely that moscow was behind this they said that only russia would have the operate of means the motive and the a source of being able to get their hands on novacek so they blamed russia immediately they expelled diplomats it became the biggest diplomatic route between russia and britain certainly in decades while that whole time russia for saying it had nothing to do with the attack that you said they would have any motive for doing something like this and have been denying all along having had to do anything to do with this poison in while asking to be able to participate in the investigation that actually is still going on all of these. months later we do know that hundreds of detectives have been working here examining as many as five thousand hours of c.c.t.v. footage here on the ground and so it's very yet we're still waiting for kind of official investigation results to be announced and of course so again you have made

it well out of the hospital and are feeling better and actually not many very people seem to know where they are at this point on the russian envoy to the u.k. he told us that bush will continue to push to be involved in this crippled investigation. i sent a letter today to prince charles he visited souls agree and he supported the people of those very but i send email that explaining oh position i wrote that russia has had nothing to do with it and that's exactly what we said officially to the british government i said that we are demanding the access to the investigation we're demanding the excess to be russian citizens and we want to know the details and with we want to know the truth so far everything is under this secrecy. is done on this secrecy and we don't have any access so all these things that i wrote to the royal family you know the two brief. prince charles and you can

better understanding you know what is the russian position that. unfortunately we don't have any access to the investigation so so far no information we didn't get the substantial. answers from the foreign office on the questions that were put. to the british side. we don't have access to russian citizens. rethink what we have seen this is only t.v. the interview i mean the interview i'm quite sure that the british side cannot stand on this position. and the sli so one day we will get the access to the russian citizens. the sooner the better we will continue the political pressure. as we understand. more british allies from the west and look asking to preserve the evidence. so some time ago

the few months when they made a joint statement in support of the british position so they believe britain on their words today it's time to know. explain you know what are the evidence and the first signs of that kind of mood in germany but i'm quite sure the other countries under the pressure of the public opinion in their countries have to do the see. the way we talk to each other on the internet is elevated way beyond just using woods now we deploy modi's gifts and of course means which borrowed heavily from movies and t.v. shows but now they're under threat from the e.u.'s legal oversea is who are getting tough on copyright infringement especially online as don't call to explains. the internet as we know it may soon radically change at least in the e.u. with memes facing an existential crisis as a result of new copyright laws that might kill them off.

or. a group of european parliament members are pushing for a new rules they would see platforms censor information to avoid copyright infringements now article thirteen is one of the more controversial of the plan would have platforms install filters to check all the information users upload on to the internet what we're seeing here in this particular instance is this goes against what is the very much the why in which. and social media in particular where it's user generated and many uses the cult of the

general is taking snippets from news all schools taking. photos and. using those in the. now article eleven or the link tax has also garnered criticism it would see online platforms paying news publishers a fee just see if they link to their content now this is already been tried both in germany and in spain failing miserably in both instances and with this new e.u. copyright proposal seemingly on the way there are still a lot of questions as to what actually constitutes a taxable link and what if the government uses it to crackdown on freedom of speech while seventy alarmed internet experts including the founders of the world wide web and a wikipedia have written a letter in protest by requiring internet platforms to perform automatic filtering all of the continent but their use there is a bloat article thirteen takes an unprecedented step towards the transformation of

the internet from an open platform for sharing and innovation into a tool for the automated surveillance and control of its uses. i larned bells have also been ringing at the united nations human rights council states and into governmental organizations should refrain from establishing new arrangements that would require proactive monitoring filtering of content which is both inconsistent with the right to privacy and likely to mount a pre-publication censorship for the proposal to become law the e.u. parliament will have to vote on it later this year and its critics are dead set on slaying this bill which they say would transform the internet into a tool of surveillance and control donald quarter r.t. berlin and about twenty minutes will be live for the world cup team to take you through friday football so far but they also need to have a continues in just a few moments with a backlash against better to be using migrants and it's fashion at.
