has been raised during the latest round of talks on iran's disputed nuclear program in geneva this is tehran's accused of france of blackmail at what's seen as a crucial stage of negotiations with six world powers after a decade long deadlock there had been a hope of a deal but that now appears diplomats have hit a stumbling block or these tests are syria will join us later in the hour with the latest details from geneva robert horan i's a journalist and political analyst basin strasberg things france a position on a deal maybe being influenced by the interests of other players. as they seek to take an extreme position all the time and there are a number of reasons for this is the first is that they all play called bad cop with the americans so by me being much more reasonable in these 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's if you like. playing the game the american said so that they could
7:02 pm
stop these events not reasonable there is not a sack to choose that everybody knows the illness pressure of the israel lobby in america it's not quite so well it's pretty pretty considerable in france as well. and a boss us lobby from iran semi official fars news agency things france is sabotaging a deal with iran to score points in the region. france has good relations with israel france help israel to complete building the plants of dimona on the other hand france is having good relations with the arab cons in the region so in this case countries that is the. opposing any deal with iran. france can enjoy the difference between israel and add up countries with the us to strengthen in ties its ties with those concerts let's take a closer look at the deal negotiators were trying to put together first according

to some sources the six world powers want iran to halt all activities to a new about twenty percent they could then permit enrichment at a level below weapons a great iran would also be obliged to limit the number of centrifuges they'd uses them as also reportedly include more intrusive monitoring of tehran's atomic facilities in return world powers would unfreeze some of iran's assets in foreign banks plus the west would reportedly consider easing sanctions that have crippled the iranian economy catherine ashton your id and foreign minister currently delivering a news conference as we mentioned earlier will be joined by our correspondent later for latest updates. giant step for the sochi two thousand and fourteen winter games the olympic torch has taken been taken on its first ever space walk as part of a record breaking relay artie's lindsey france has more from mission control. well it's a very exciting thing to watch live here because what we're actually getting to see

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 now we're going to show you some yellow dots here on the board each one of those represents a plane currently traveling in u.s. airspace as you can see it's already a very crowded picture in all around ninety thousand planes zip around the country each day so what will happen when even more unmanned aircraft join these very friendly skies or he's got into 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 not just by law enforcement and other government agencies but also by private firms all kinds of probe says to the f.a.a. game itself 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
7:07 pm
country to see how it goes aside from very serious might we see concerns there is the danger of media 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 densely populated area when he brushed shoulders with a dro to the horror of the pilots of course or in a separate incident in the indianapolis five hundred body. 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
7:08 pm
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 so 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 loss could be another's gain is china sees opportunity in the arab spring in europe or on beijing's economic charging to the middle east and north. africa a region left for the taking by crisis and violence plus not exactly a royal welcome in a outlawed political party throwing rotten tomatoes at the dutch king on a visit to moscow to find out what got them so hot under the collar plus. eighty six gorgeous women in the russian capital vying for the miss universe title but only one gets the crowd and find out who was proclaimed queen still to come.

so picture of today's you know. from roads to blow. job to. thanks for staying with us ten minutes past the hour now cyber thieves have pull for more than a million dollars in digital money from an online bitcoin storage service hackers breached the host by manipulating flaws in the system that authenticates users the incident has raised more concerns about the security of the online cyber currency bitcoin is a digital currency stored on computers and anonymous so-called web wallets that could be used for online transactions are sold for any conventional currency but banks middlemen and tax agencies all left out of the loop reducing fees but a lack of control also means that the victims of thefts have nowhere to turn for
7:11 pm
compensation and also the usual policing methods of collecting evidence and questioning witnesses is less effective against online theft despite its drawbacks though entrepreneur william uhc still thinks bitcoin is a canny investment. what we see today in the world was a lie or crisis in greece and in the failure of cyprus is regulation doesn't work. you have regulatory can't assure you just have a system failure and the thing that makes a big point exciting for people believe a bit quiet is the fact that it's an emergent system if it does require regulation to survive it really wasn't as good as we talk about. the dutch king's visit to moscow market after two members of the bad national bolshevik party pelted him with rotten tomatoes the incident comes as a cat a complicated time for both countries as their relations significantly cooled of late forty's paul scott reports well a further unsavory incident putting go further pressure on already strained
7:12 pm
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 as they carried out the assault the couple had the blood of alexander domata 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 onboard the arctic sunrise vessel now following that incident a russian diplomat was beaten up in his home in the hague and then 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
7:13 pm
a dutch diplomat beaten up in his home in moscow by masked 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 the signs really that relations between the two countries continue to be strained reports in the u.s. suggest the ca's been paying millions of dollars a year to american telecom giant eighty and t. for that price the company allegedly provides access to information on millions of subscribers spies can apparently browse through their phone records 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 says the cia is violating the u.s. constitution. it's a huge company that has its footprint all over the globe and they're just being paid to hand out this customer information is a clear violation of the fourth amendment and customers have nowhere to go because i'm sure he is not alone in this sort of practice why are they tracking the
7:14 pm
communications of private citizens who have no connection to crime or terrorism what is their real goal here if this is a form of i think a light form of terrorism where people are becoming afraid to use their own technology in their own devices it's really it's kind of orwellian and the explanation they gave for it doesn't make a lot of sense to me and u.k. stands accused of being engaged in a high stakes game of hide in the spook british officials are blocking in that occasion into data gave their data gathering activities with spy chiefs maintaining the probe would undermine national security more on that on line plus. astronomers make heads or tails of a new space discovery a six tailed objects spotted by a nasa telescope flying about our solar system check out all the details that are. right. first rate. and i think that your.

7:16 pm
town had dropped it changed their schedules in order to come here enjoy these talks with a lot of speculation is that a deal might be reached but it didn't come to pass five you said the foreign minister of france was one of those really was vocal about his reservations on be initial text presented. in detail one of those the rest of the nations would be the soft. of iran as well as the reactor that's scheduled to open sometime next year in iran he said he was not satisfied that he wanted something an agreement that was serious and also he had said something like he was not ready to get involved in a kong game and this had angered lawmakers in iran they were saying that flouncy really was hindering the talks and had blamed france even calling it blackmail on terror but what's interesting is when the e.u. foreign policy chief catherine ashton as well as a foreign minister of iran had come in here to give their press conference they
7:17 pm
were kind of upbeat and they were hopeful about the next round of talks scheduled for november the twenty third said that he was disappointed and that he understood that something like this there were definitely there will definitely be differences among the different parties involved but really it had taken quite a different turn from what was expected when we were hearing statements coming from foreign ministers of the u.k. william hague. seize the moment and trying to come up with a very elusive deal but in the end indeed there is no deal that has been reached but again talks will be rescheduled november the twentieth right and everybody waits for the next round. live for us in geneva thanks very much for that update. well despite the turmoil in many post arab spring states chinese investors still doing brisk business in the middle east and north africa well u.s. and european investors seem to stay on the sidelines beijing's businessmen are taking these countries by economic storm as artie's belcher reports even crisis

remember way back when we first talked about the first downloadable guns that could be printed out on a free d. printer at home while technology moves pretty quickly because british police are 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 with the banning and burning books has become futile and the best 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 in from. that's found in a book cannot be destroyed because it is out there on the magical ether of the air at 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 no will be able to take the guns not even obama or
