program and though she is at a crucial stage between iran and six world powers after a decade long deadlock there had been hopes of a deal but now negotiations appear to have star struck a stumbling block. is following negotiations in geneva. from the very beginning this skepticism really has been coming from france in the beginning they just. concerns have to be taken into consideration if any agreement is indeed reach we know e's rail has been very uncomfortable with this with netanyahu the premier of these rail warning that this is a bad deal however right now france's suggests is that they are all there are conditions that must be met by iran one of its main concerns for instance is the a process in establishing. a name and which meant another demand for france and it's been suggested by the foreign minister is the halting of the iraq you know heavy water reactor death something iran does not want to do now aside from that

there are also words that were spoken by the foreign minister that might have insulted also the rain and because he's a lawyer five you said said that france didn't want to be part of a cotton game and that the final draft of final draft texas is too favorable to iran now the lawmakers of iran have said that sounds really has been hindering these talks that have indeed been calling it blackmail it hasn't gone unnoticed here in peace talks that france has been really taking quite a hard line from the very beginning some of server observers saying that even a harder line than be a u.s. or the u.k. one western diplomat had told the associated press that in fact the conditions that france is demanding or harsher than those demanded by the u.s. and other partners did hear words for example from the a british foreign minister william hague saying that they should seize the moment in order to reach a deal that if you look at the world for a long time those are quite quite positive words that we heard the u.s. talking about narrowing gaps when it came to issues well as it stands right now the talks continue and there are suggestions from the ring of delegation that there

could be a reception of the talks in about two weeks time robert horan eyes a journalist and political analyst based in stroudsburg things france's position on a deal to be influenced by the interest of other players. but they seemed to take an extreme position all the time and there are a number of reasons for this the first is that they are play pete cop bad cop with the americans obama is suddenly being much more reasonable in his attitude with the iranians the french are out there on the flank saying oh you must agree too easily israel must be protected and so on and in a sense that if you like. playing the game american so they can charge these french all at reasonable there is another factor which is that everybody knows the enormous pressure of the israel lobby in america it's not quite so well though it's pretty pretty considerable in france as well. abbas are slimy from iran semi official fars news agency things france is sabotaging the deal with iran to score

points in the region the news that we get from the diplomats were sent diplomats is being said france is opposing the deal with is being going to happen in iran and the p five plus one there are some analysis speculations on that why the france is opposing this one is that france has good relations with israel france help israel to complete building the plant of their man are on the other hand france is having good relations with the arab countries in the region so in this case countries and is the. opposing any deal with iran. france can enjoy difference between israel and arab countries with the us to strengthen the entire ties with those contraries. so you can close a look at the deal negotiators have been trying to put together first according to

some sources the six world powers want iran to halt all activities to enrich uranium to twenty percent they would then permit enrichment at a level below weapons grade iran would also be obliged to limit the number of centrifuges it uses the demands also reportedly include include more intrusive monitoring after iran's atomic facilities and in return world powers would unfreeze some of tehran's assets in foreign banks plus the west would reportedly consider easing sanctions that have crippled the country's economy we'll bring you the latest developments as soon as we get them here at r t remember you can always catch up on line as well to get up to the minute updates on the geneva nuclear talks. a giant step for the sochi two thousand and fourteen winter games the olympic torch taking on a space walk for the first time in history as part of the longest ever torch relay linsey friends witness the unique moment for mission control. well it's a very exciting thing to watch live here because what we're actually getting to see right now is down on the floor the engineers are essentially walking the cosmonauts

thousands of drones may soon be swarming across u.s. airspace but mostly be used for civil purposes such as firefighting and weather tracking but their presence is still causing concern among many let's take a look at the states from above these yellow spots are planes in american airspace as you can see the skies are already very crowded and all around ninety thousand planes zip around the country today so what will happen when even more unmanned aircraft join these very friendly skies artie's guy takes a look. according to the u.s. federal aviation administration by twenty twenty there will be up to thirty thousand drones flying in the u.s. airspace and not just by law enforcement and other government agencies but also by private firms for all kinds of purposes so the f.a.a. gave yourself two years to come up with ideas on how to regulate that brave new world where everybody can fly their throw their designated six test sites across the country to see how it goes aside from very serious might we see concerns

there's a danger of meet air collisions even now as the government has not yet allowed the commercial use of drones the f.a.a. is getting a rising number of safety complaints from pilots in march of this year and all the tali airliner made national news headlines when the pilot reported spotting a drone as he was trying to land at new york's j.f.k. airport back then the f.a.a. and the f.b.i. have open investigations into finding the drone the plane was flying over a densely populated area when he brushed shoulders with a drone to the horror of the pilots of course or in a separate incident with the indianapolis five hundred body like a human to load him in the opposite direction at a high speed. just to give you an idea of how concerned pilots are one pilot said we're concerned about birds we're concerned about other airplanes and now we're throwing in something totally uncontrolled when they suck one of those drones into the engine of an airplane he said then it will get everybody's attention and one of the challenges is that drones occasionally loose connection with the operator on

the ground that's a well reported problem but apart from accidental collisions there is another challenge drones can be hijacked by someone with very bad intentions so the brave new world of drones can also turn out to be a very dangerous one in washington i'm going to check on our. one man's laws can be another's gain as china sees opportunity in the arab spring europe or on beijing's economic charge the middle east. north africa a region that left for the taking by crisis and violence after a short break stay with us. please.

a digital currency stored on computers in anonymous web wallets they can be used for online transactions are sold for conventional currency banks middlemen and tax agencies all left out of the loop they're reducing fees but a lack of control means victims of thefts have nowhere to turn for compensation also the usual policing methods of collecting evidence and questioning witnesses is a lot of less effective against online theft despite its drawbacks though entrepreneur william believes that bitcoin is still a canny investment. but what we see today in the world was alive or crisis in greece and in the failure of cyprus is regulation doesn't work. you have regulatory capture you just have system failure and the thing that makes a big point exciting for people believe a bit client is the fact that it's an emergency system if it does require regulation just to buy them it really wasn't as good as we thought it was. the dutch kings visit to moscow has been marred after two members of the band of

national bolshevik party pelted him with rotten tomatoes it's the latest in a string of insane instead allegedly distinct cooling in relations between the two countries artie's paul scott has details. well a further unsavory incident putting further pressure on already strained relations between the two countries now the dutch king and his wife were attending a music concerts in moscow when two men through what appeared to be tomatoes at them they were unharmed and did carry on with their official engagements now the two men who were arrested were members of the national bolshevik party which is actually banned here in russia and they could be heard saying if they carried out the assault the couple had the blood of alexander domata of on their hands now don't matter of was a former member of the party who committed suicide was in dutch custody after being denied political asylum in the country and as i say the incident comes with relations already strained between the two countries the netherlands are actually suing russia at the moment for the detention of thirty greenpeace activists who

were on board the arctic sunrise vessel now following that incident a russian diplomat was beaten up in his home in the hague and taken to a police station with no official explanation the dutch government later apologized for that incident that was followed by an incident which saw a dutch diplomat beaten up in his home in moscow by intruders the russian government apologized and said that they would hunt down the perpetrators of the attack now there's no connect connection between those events and today's incident but it's just further proof and further signs really that relations between the two countries continue to be strained reports from the u.s. suggest the cia's been paying millions of dollars every year to american telecom giant eighteen t. for that price the company allegedly provides access to information on millions of subscribers spies can apparently browse through their phone record database including international calls germany and brazil submitted a draft resolution to the u.n. on the safeguarding of privacy and restricting mass surveillance journalist david seaman things washington is involved in any form of techno terror. it's

right. first. and i think that your. instrument. despite the turmoil in many post arab spring states chinese investors have still not been put off doing business with the middle east and north africa while u.s. and european investors seem to prefer to stay on the sidelines by using beijing's businesspeople are taking the countries by economic storm reports even in crisis wracked egypt there are opportunities to be found. this is north cairo where egypt's burgeoning chinatown has now planted its roots restaurant owner. says the

the beijing success is build on washington's failures what do you think. well certainly if you look around the world you will certainly see there's a lot of truth to that the chinese have more or less. their all over africa there by plantations and everything else america's got very little presence in africa now don is making inroads in the middle east and it's going to get a lot of oil from iran going forward it looks as though china may even start getting oil from iraq you know america says that they were a liberated iraq in the end it may be the chinese who get the oil and the rest of the middle east has helped push up international oil and gas prices max keiser take a look takes a look at how it's the consumers who may ultimately suffer. many demonstrators staged a bonfire night burning of energy bills to voice their opposition to rising costs of fuel burning their energy bill is like burning your draft card you know during

the vietnam war they burned their their draft cards burning their energy bill is similar in that you don't want to join up forces with the corrupt the big six energy companies in the u.k. their financial terrorism so if you don't want to support financial terrorism of the big six energy companies here in the u.k. you would burn your energy bill i said just get a thousand people on the millennium bridge here in london to get together and burn their energy bill in unison. turning now to some other stories making global headlines the red cross fears up to twelve hundred people may have been killed in the typhoon haiyan sweeping across the philippines the worst hit areas have been talking and some are island more than four million people affected by the storm considered one of the largest to make landfall ever the typhoon and now heading toward vietnam where thousands of people have already been evacuated from coastal areas. more than five thousand

remember way back when we first talked about the first downloadable guns that could be printed out on a three d. printer at home while technology moves pretty quickly because british police have already busted in legal armory pretty out firearm parts and special three d. printers this technology may make gun control literally impossible in the same way that banning and burning books has become futile and the past they used to be able to just burn books or forbid them from being printed but in the age of the internet all you need is a scanner and an internet connection and the information that's found in a book cannot be destroyed because it is out there on the magical ether of the internet so basically the near future any person with even half a brain and some patients can start making guns in their basement which means the gun control laws will basically become pointless because they'll never be able to catch all the people doing it nor will be able to take the guns not even obama or the hardest of hardcore liberals this technology could be the best thing to happen to the second amendment ever but i shust my opinion.

but you may realize at some point that the goal of all my working life was nothing more than about making money ask quickly as possible see it would see what it was all for i couldn't say i was an editor for a glossy magazine at the time which was not ok so i can buy another fur coat or a new car or even an apartment so what and thirty four i don't have a man whom i would like to start a family with yet i knew then it was time to stop drop it all and try to find myself so. i won. waking up in the morning and going to work. i came across an advertisement s.o.s. villages for kids are looking for mothers. i was thrilled when i saw it i had to

write a letter to the director and i spent half a day of my computer at home alone trying to find words to describe what i felt. could convince him that i was the mom they were looking for and they had to call me immediately. fine thanks i look through your c.v. why have you decided to work in the village it's a way of life it is twenty four hours but what i don't like is spending eight hours a day at work without really knowing why or weren't doing it for. a

successful applicant for the position of s.o.'s mother is a twenty seven to forty three year old woman who either doesn't have children of her own or has adult children who live independently. thirty four. was going to love you and want to have children with you but what i tell the kids. found herself it's all over. it's not as though there are crowds of men here in the village lining up for me begging big mean me to make me please. for the kids. kindness and care it was very fond of cooking reading and talking to interesting intelligent people. and interesting. ok when can you start. week.

once you get a morning kids good morning wake up. get up it's time to go to school no one to sleep. due to doing one boy for example told me that once he woke up got ready and went to school and it was so early in the morning that even the night watchman was still asleep when it was black his mother was a drug addict she didn't even notice her child gone i mean to up through the door they told me my scariest stories about what their lives her life and all their drunk mothers fleeing home and living on the streets or in on heated garages that's what these small children have gone through and they've led me into their world and it became easier for them to cope. have you prepared clothes for the animal corner that have you taken was in the closet yes and the raincoat no problem go do it then

. it's not a kindergarden or an offer in which it's a house where you live with your family or your children that are five children. dead then it's fun and cool they're all small so they're always running in. their view of an energy so they're constantly doing something or inflame. the world good morning. because the reason we face this on a post-war collective. any women and children here. that i'm an old soldier myself just like after the second world war so we all work together here. and it was an ordinary week no incidents everything's fine in our house. while the mothers here work a bit like the left tenants on a ship. it's good enough if the captain allows you to go ashore once a week or even once

a month. the only question was how do you feel. i can say anything was especially appalling or surprising it's more or less what i had prepared for some things i didn't know about were quite unexpected but they didn't shock me. more than to enjoy the most wanted to bring you joy in the next fifteen years the kids. but truth be told i serve on the ship too it's my duty and that's my comment the only difference is that i live in this cabin with my wife and child how. building the ship brought me back to my naval yes as a young lift. i built this ship just the way i remember it. as my service cap yes we still have it. stay in touch with my former colleagues and fellow cadets. enough its naval officers that support the village and. tell them it's not just.
