morning from moscow where it's now is just after eight am on monday. world headlines let's get right into it straight away iran's new president has called for dialogue with the west but warned that the language of sanctions will not work. his inaugural address after being officially sworn in as the islamic republic's president or the moderate cleric one june vote by promising to put an end to the country's international isolation of course over its nuclear energy program but long awaited steps to ease tensions with the rest of the world and not finding much response from the west. iran's new president hassan rouhani is widely seen as a moderate politician particularly significant detail where western leaders are concerned after years of strain diplomatic tensions now in what is seen as an attempt by terror to ease of that isolation the government had sent out invitations

to e.u. countries including britain to withstand the a swearing in ceremony. excluding the u.s. and israel now the position was that only diplomats would attend but the u.k. had not sent anyone at all the reason given by the british foreign office is that it does not have an embassy in tehran but this has been criticized by members of the opposition labor party here particularly the shadow foreign minister douglas alexander who had called this a misjudgment as well as a missed opportunity adding about diplomacy involves meeting with people with whom you disagree how in light of the steps up for that to run appears to be taking it moving this invitation to european leaders as well as appointing a foreign minister with relations with washington a summer reading. really wanting to rebuild those relations with the u.s. and europe well we spoke with labor m.p. barry for more on this the u.k.

foreign minister william hague he had said we will respond in good faith to positive action by iran and improve relations on a supply so basis without remark shouldn't this invitation to attend the president's inauguration in iran have been accepted i think it would have been a very good opportunity to say look he starts with. a clean sheet as far as we're concerned we want to take him as we find him and it would have been a good opportunity for to go to have informal discussions around the inauguration. and to do some sounding. too he was going to behave in office so i think it's an opportunity missed. i hope that there are back channel conversations going on that are beginning to try and work out a new relationship with qualities after all a new president at the end of the day in this very careful dance between tehran to

add a western leader its every action and non-action will certainly play a part in that equation on where relations are really headed reporting from london and test ourselves. and the main challenge that house on the face is that as the new president instead of easing the economic sanctions grinding hard on the iranian people over the past two years the country has faced its toughest most comprehensive western penalties to date and the most painful have been punitive measures by the us and e.u. targeting iran's oil exports and its trade and banking sectors which ultimately crippled the country's economy in two thousand and twelve alone iran is thought to have lost at least fifty billion dollars in oil revenues however many within the islamic state feel is the population suffering the most for example talk about a hike in prices the economic recession has caused a rise in prices for the basics bread milk and meat and the country's medical institutions now saying that sanctions make it difficult to obtain basic drugs for

people with serious health problems in the past in the past six years millions have been denied access to medical treatment those suffering from cancer multiple sclerosis and even he may feel. now i despite signals from iran's new leadership washington for its part has shown no inclination that will abandon any of its sanctions on the contrary now just days before inauguration day u.s. lawmakers passed passed a bill toughening them the bill would see iran's oil exports slashed by another one million barrels per day over a year to near zero jamal abdi from the national iranian american council he says some in washington i'm more interested in war with iran rather than finding a solution to the nuclear issue the fact that they would vote for a new sanctions before the new iranian president who has been saying positive things and who is going to himself face so many obstacles for the house of representatives to go forward with this vote demonstrates that this is

a chamber dominated by politics instead of pragmatism and is dominated by ideology instead of. an actual desire to resolve the problems that. lay before the united states now the reason that they went forward with this vote was because of immense political pressure from pro sanctions groups and neo conservative and hawkish organizations that are more interested in seeing a war with iran than seeing a diplomatic resolution to the nuclear standoff. iran is proven to have an easy relations not only with the west but also with many countries in the middle east tensions with saudi arabia came into focus of an incident with the president of sudan's plane which was heading for tehran but barred from entering the gulf kingdoms and space independent research and right to put over it explain how saudi arabia might actually be benefiting from the conflicts in the region. historically

saudi arabia has been iran's rightful more importantly than that and if aside from the fact that saudi arabia serves the united states and israel and carries that through or does in the region and saudi arabia if should there ever be peace with iran. coming from the west it would really threaten saudi arabia feels very secure for as long as they can be of service to the united states saudi arabia benefits from war and conflict in the region so there's no reason for them to change and this is smart enough to know that down the line is that to be there that they're not going to be accepted no matter how hard they work for israel and america no matter how steve who is housed in how will they carry out their orders and work with them they will not be want to and eventually. their time will come to an l.t.r. so if we shove an outside discussed what's in store for iran under the new president

rouhani his predecessor mahmoud ahmadinejad among other issues or the interview focused on tyrone's controversial nuclear program and recent allegations made by the israeli prime minister that iran will soon possess at least two hundred warheads. with iran is going to have two hundred warheads that's what he says yes. would be the amount of the number if this is something that i've said many times before to you it is not of any use to us to have nukes to have we can use it i mean nuclear weapons it was a dirty looseness and he could just so twentieth century and. and. well let's turn our attention now to turkey for the verdict to be

announced for almost three hundred people in a case against a stealth network of planning a military coup or protests to coordinate the capital with police carrying out preventative raids against opposition members calling for demonstrations for the snowboarding trial which has lost more than five years and spot concern at whether exposing the movement was just a witch hunt. reports allegedly it's a large scale nationalist movement some of that is the country's most top ranking army officials. professors journalists riders prime minister everyone has said that he is ready to stamp out this antidemocratic movement which he said has been brewing in the country for decades a lot of people have fallen under that umbrella as a matter of fact a lot of prominent journalists in the country also have suffered some of them have served their time in prison but people here say that essentially is just

a pretense under which the prime minister is taking people who he. does not like and put in the spring in jail so as to get rid of dissenting voices. trial has been . from the beginning. to be no surprise no one. and it will be the end of trust in our dogs government for a lot of people and it is also the end of the judicial system of turkey now people have been intending to gather by the courthouse where the verdict to supposed to be announced their voices heard and expressed their indignation with policies also wants government this is happening after a large scale protests have broken out in the country spreading from istanbul all over the state where people pouring just agreeing with policies all the prime minister had taken to the streets all of these protests have been widely dispersed

in fact it doesn't look at this point like protests are happening at burning almost on a weekly basis and get they get broken out by police who are using tear gas and water cannons to this has also been the case in the stumble this weekend is a matter of fact as well so people here really are expecting some skirmishes to break out between the supporters of those who they believe were wrongly accused of participation in this alleged plot still for through the government and of course of the police. blotter moscow is also used go ahead for you in this mass surveillance in the crosshairs in the united states protesters hit the streets on mass calling for a full stop to the big brother watch being conducted over this day by the government. waste not want not the lesser of the u.k. which as we discover here and see is simply sweeping so-called waste under the carpet or in this case third world countries.

with the economic ups and downs in the final months thanks to the deal sang i and the rest. a single day every week on a. well all told. back to citrus i have read the reports for. the pollution and no i will leave it to the state to comment on your plate. to carry out a car as i'm going to talk you know it's going to. take you no more weasel. when you need a direct question be prepared for a change when you run you should be ready for a. freedom of speech and let down the freedom to watch.

thanks for joining us here today i'm real research russian vodka down the drain that's the latest protest move against what's seen in the west as russia's crackdown on gay rights activists in the u.s. and europe have been outraged that a new law against quote propaganda of homosexuals to minus a name often shortened by the media to the russian and. they've also been calls to boycott the sochi winter olympics which moscow was set that law won't affect the guests or participants. the report. no stoli no sochi. dumping russian vodka and calls to boycott the olympic games the l g b t two munity in the west is furious with the passing of a new russian law banning gay propaganda to minors

a detail almost never mentioned lot of here putin signed a law and some very strict anti-gay measures these laws are absolutely obscure they're not clear in what they mean of course it will not have a wide ranging gretzky's of being applied everywhere and to everyone and members of the gay community have been attacked and arrested you cannot say that there is massive suppression or messy of that against gay people on the streets and that wherever you say that you're gay you will be killed or beaten russian gay activists are taking their case to the european court of human rights and say the law is meant to target specific individuals but see the picture of gay life in russia from abroad is warped these pictures being shown and being portrayed just because this little became a symbol of protest against the suppression of l.g.b. community in russia supporters of the law argue it represents the russian majority

. something if there is a large number of people who believe the lawyers to soften thirty years ago there was criminal punishment for being here if you take examples from some states in the u.s. the relationship is much crudely and strict and this propaganda law was this one. it's important to remember this law is about gay propaganda to minors and it will be enforced with fines not criminal punishment russia is still a very traditional conservative country it wants to hold on to that. this is one of moscow's many day and night clubs yes it's in a discreet location but it holds three thousand people is. packed on the weekends and is full of foreigners its owners asked us not to film on the inside to protect the privacy of its clients but reassure us business is booming there is a happy arriving excitable you know wonderful gay community which is great martin

andrews is british openly gay and living in russia for eight years he opposes the law but won't be dumping his russia is dominated by the church in general far more than the u.k. i think if you compare america for example you call and look at some friends of the sons of these and new york and then look at the middle part of texas and that's what russia is especially moscow you've got the old meets the new and you've got soviet mindset fused with this up to this with excising west lifestyle homosexuality is illegal in over seventy countries across the globe so martin asked why russia why do the western media why do people in the west never mention cuts off the world cup is coming up going crazy about lympics i was in such a last week filming there's a gay community that has a great day scene but the west has a big in its bonnet regarding russia it's a great. state repression got to go and he's now a r.t.

moscow. plenty more stories for you waiting for you are online right now including on the show must go home that's all for american rockers the bloodhound gang of sent packing from russia might even face criminal charges for disrespecting the russian flag the whole story for you online right now. on air and on the ground check it out russia and china rolling out heavy military hardware on the troops the joint counter terrorism exercise is a brilliant footage right now this hour. on a just a moment on the world update for now though the u.s.

still reeling from edward snowden's revelations of the n.s.a.'s snooping surveillance schools of people took to the streets across the country to protest against domestic spying and the violation of privacy. marched with the demonstrators the find out exactly what their demands it. that's so we still have a lot of them that i did actually in over a dozen cities across the west inspired by george orwell's novel nineteen eighty-four an anti utopia written over half a century ago about mass surveillance so frightening it sends shivers down a reader spine these protesters say apparently the u.s. government has been using it as a manual theme of this one is about the surveillance and the fourth amendment rights you know we're losing our country and i'm really sad about that this is one of many demonstrations comes up tonight outraged americans are out onto the streets to demand their wives right back what do you think we're to specifically you guys can do about us i mean do you think this voice can be benchley arrest this is one

part of the process right here marching on the streets raising awareness for calling congressman letting them know that this is not something that we stand for and it should not be done in our name of course comes out every weekend with the help of a thirty year old law firm or as a contractor edward snowden that the national security agency was has been conducting sweeping surveillance on millions of americans and foreigners around the world and these people are now marching the streets of new york to say they want to hand us of the surveillance state the n.s.a. is collecting the information of every american regardless of whether they're suspected of jury or wrong or of any british stationery be illegal there's going to everyone's information and the fourth amendment says that they can take that abrasion that was ever reason to believe the year or have committed a crime i am very concerned about the volume of surveillance that is not performed by the national security administration we know more and more about what's going on

but we still don't understand a lot of the technical details underlying it protesters are now chanting outside eighty in t's office is one of many companies that the n.s.a. was able to retract information from about u.s. citizens phone calls being. messages being sent the length of the phone calls being made as well as where the people were speaking all of these major concerns for u.s. citizens now coming onto the streets to basically tell the government that they've had enough and they will not stop coming out to protest until their mates message is heard we are outraged we're outraged that we're still learning to what extent all of our contacts i telephone calls are. shat on line are being monitored and we're not happy with this these protests urbanites by a group called the story of the war grassroots privacy rights movement demanding the restoration of the fourth amendment to the us constitution that prohibits. and

searches all these people are now on the streets because they say government is really not been playing its role the way it should and has forgotten about the rights of its citizens. it's going to have. some of the global headlines for you in brief nineteen u.s. embassies across the middle east and north africa will remain closed until the tenth of august due to an unspecified threat by al qaeda and washington's travel alert for u.s. citizens in the region and will also remain in force for an unspecified time u.s. officials said based on intelligence evidence particularly concerned about the diplomatic mission in yemen meanwhile in pakistan the country's capital has been placed on its highest level following reports of terror attacks. and in egypt the country's military has ordered the former deputy chief of staff of the ousted president mohamed morsy to remain under arrest for true more weeks facing

murder charges the appeals court has also set a date for the trial of the top muslim brotherhood officials who were accused of inciting violence in egypt has been embroiled in chaos since a military coup with thousands of morsy supporters are defying the government's calls to abandon the protests. now with the rapid growth in technology computers and t.v.'s are becoming outdated in just a few years tons of them though ending up on the u.k.'s scrap heap every year that is the recycling of electronic waste means high costs and some companies are simply shipping the problem to developing countries and even making a decent profit from it sara for three points. with the pace of technology ever changing yesterday's essential. pile electronic waste known as waste is the fastest expanding way stream in the u.k. but he's been investigating as the industry's growing. concerns around illegal

trading so this is why they are electronic waste. you might be quite surprised by. the recycling companies that are able to extract precious metals like the copper. on the back they're an alum and human still as well as the mated around one point five million tons of electronic waste. every year. and yet research just around a third is that is actually being recycled by reputable sites such as this one so where does the rest of it go. east. in this country and i think. in the u.k. trade in treatment of the waste is regulated under the e.u.

directive which came into force in two thousand and seven and it's a place to make sure that anything that can not be exported to developing countries but industry insiders estimate that up the whole of all computers discarded in the u.k. and illegal trade. broken . down. if you. paid. in the last few years the government body the environment agency has been slowly getting to grips with the problem and has made a number of prosecutions despite the costs of recycling but the cyclists are

turning a profit as the cost of metal they extract from the kids is high but the growth of the illegal industry means there are concerns black market traders could reputable recyclers the market is wrong and it will affect. you know down the line it may affect sales and if people continue to do wrong and illegally you know there could be no. other legitimate. so yeah it does have a big impact and we're concerned about things. in the in the right line in the countries receiving the way young children are often involved in breaking down the equipment much of which contains harmful chemicals experts warn that the potential consequences to health could be dire countries which are you know. differently not be have the capacity to deal with it our country.
