a very staunch critic over on seemingly very confident in their way of saying that there is going to be a deal which i'm convinced that the agreement we were discussing would be good for the security of the entire world and we will pursue it with energy and persistence but of course those talks also meant the not successful we've seen the finger of blame pointed by saddam france that floaty attributed to the french foreign minister quite publicly making it known his concerns about the proposed agreement saying that he wanted to avoid a food game now we've seen the u.k. and u.s. foreign ministers were to try and play down these differences saying that the differences between the western powers are actually very narrow first being said by some experts to be a base saving exercise here and of course as we said the u.k.'s certainly much more positive start surrounding the talks looking forward to november the twentieth when

telling iran that they can't do anything look who invaded mali the french can't get over their colonial trip and its new colonialism so what they may lose in iran in car sales auto sales and other sales they'll make up by doing more business with the arab league and more for more power in places where they've lost it since their colonial days. it's all it's a lie from moscow lawmakers on capitol hill have been alerted by the media to the wiring trend of so-called online real homing for adopted children that's describes transactions between foster parents who want to get rid of their kids they regret adopting it to strangers who call into old adult through legal channels we're in a porsche nine now investigating what turns out to be a thriving practice. animal owners may be familiar with the term private re homey
4:06 am
typically it refers to those seeking to give their pet away but today the practice is reportedly being used by parents looking to give away the child they adopted from overseas and no longer wants an investigation conducted by reuters found that this type of child trafficking is happening largely in cyberspace where parents allegedly advertise their unwanted children through yahoo and facebook groups the lawless atmosphere allows internationally adopted orphans to be passed on to strangers without government scrutiny or even a paper trail as a result many of these children can end up in the custody of criminals sex offenders or abusive adults that would have never been allowed to legally adopt according to the reuters investigation many of the children advertised online for private re homing range between the ages of six to fourteen and had been adopted
4:07 am
from abroad including from countries such as russia china ethiopia and ukraine some of the kids don't even speak english experts say in this expanding underground market of foreign orphans innocent kids are being treated like cattle given away without any legal oversight it poses huge risks right because some of the families into which these children home they're probably perfectly good in the children are doing better perhaps and some of them are not so that the risk is that it's not being done right the risk is that the child is not entering a better situation and certainly as a legal matter again whether that child is yours biologically you're required option however that child got into your family we want legal processes in place so that the rights of those children are protected the lack of oversight and protection of foreign orphans adopted by u.s. parents has faced ongoing criticism as of this. here u.s.

citizens are banned from adopting russian orphans since nine hundred ninety one thousand russian children have reportedly died at the hands of their american adoptive parents according to the u.s. state department nearly eight thousand seven hundred orphans were adopted from foreign countries last year what we don't know is how many of those kids are still living with the american parents that brought them here and how many have been given away reporting from new york marine upward nial r.t. . and i while many cases of online read homing go unnoticed and lead to die of consequences there are those when human tragedy was now really avoided but only after a time when the measures were taken also used liz wahl reports on one such example dimitris stewart was five years old when he and his brother were adopted from an orphanage in a small town near moscow it would be a rocky road living with his adoptive american parents didn't really feel like. i

you are just joining us welcome to the program here on r t i'm rumors to show you in moscow the controversial digital currency bitcoin is now scored a new high it's trading prices almost doubled since october now this despite what some users and many analysts considered to be so-called a considerable cyber safety concerns. its use is still relatively small compared to other currencies of course but it can pay for a range of products and services and boosting its popularity a bit of coins are held in online wallets right here but they cannot be controlled by any central authority other side the currency has been gaining new horizons as artie's correspondent peter all of the reports. in the headlines it's betrayed as a vehicle for drug dealers and potential assassins these people see bitcoin in a different light god will only help you if you have your serve so we could do charity to get the possibility to have them for all we have to do to start thinking
4:15 am
and make this possible for is a mixed school and it's already being seen in uganda where supporters of using because charity hope to see one hundred percent of the donation reaching those in need something that other charities can't offer the reason that bitcoin could benefit charity is that every penny of what you donate ends up with those who need it no middleman no admin no cut for anyone else if somebody in somalia has access to the technology and to the hardware. and he needs a shovel for his acre he can put up a charity project that just says i need this is this is my acre i need to grow some food there i need a shovel will cost me two euros and can put that up there getting those in need access to the technology is one of the main challenges but those behind the crypto charity say things are moving along quickly where you were to go i mean for my bob
4:16 am
i know there's already people doing big corn payments for my ballpark and so all of this is going to work itself out just one click in the right place on the website and your donation is there however those that work with established charity say they are convinced all of the kinks have been worked out in this system just yet. so it's very difficult to control if the money is being spent in the way it was intended at this point i'm skeptical but in the future will see bitcoin advocates are determined to push charity as a use for the cryptocurrency it's peer to peer formats adding a personal edge you can show people this is my face my name my family my village and this is what we need can you please help us it's being portrayed as funds without borders if bitcoins twenty first century philanthropists all right it could help some of those most in need peter oliver r.t. belin. just a bit later this hour here in the u.s.
4:17 am
economy continues to spiral deeper into debt the one of the really taking on the economists who he says are trying to whitewash inflation. over the past decades and really after the post-war period economists writing in mainstream media outlets trying to convince the public that what they see is not true don't believe your eyes listen to what we have to say on the pages of these editorials describing what the truth is even though people in their gut and in their heart know that they're being lied to the difference today is you've got other media outlets you've got other social media outlets that are confirming what people know in their hearts they're being freaked up the shrinks trying hard and they want recourse they want answers. are the kinds of cars a report in about ten minutes time for now they're on the program or the greenpeace crew of the arctic sunrise who stormed a russian oil rig in september reportedly arrived to some. joining us live here on
4:18 am
the program well this is interesting topic what is the latest what do you know. well it is certainly interesting rory as of this true story of the greenpeace activists continues to unfold this time they've been moved. now one of the reasons this had happened is because the moment's court said that the charges were out of the edge of restriction and so they needed to move them elsewhere now others say that they've been moved from moments because of the weather conditions that means it's quite cold it gets dark really early and so moving the activists to st petersburg guarantees them a little bit of light during this winter while they await trial as well as be able to see their families and speak to their respective consulates now earlier today twelve to eleven at this. midday our local time we saw the train actually
4:19 am
a riving in us and petersburg now the interesting part about this hour why of all was that one of the last carriages was actually cut off from of the actual main train a so it goes to show and we're all assuming at this point including the greenpeace activists who have been updating all of us via twitter as to what's going on with that train is that indeed that carriage was a holding that twenty eight activists including the two journalists who were with them so from. greenpeace activists arriving on a train to some petersburg and i do take us back if you can talk to you for from what i understand it was a it was more than two dozen people from eighteen countries who stormed the us. twenty eight greenpeace activists including two journalists who were on board the to see the vessel that was the vessel that was taking them through the arctic that they then went into russian arctic space and tried to to board the first oil rig.
4:20 am
in the arctic for russia they were then arrested or rather approached by the authorities are asking them to stop trying to go on board that are taken vessel they would then arrested and then since then charged with piracy in a table there is piracy charges where. they were dropped and since then they've been charged with a severe hooliganism now those charges carry up to seven years in prison they're now in a detention holding center as we speak there in st petersburg what we do know is that this case has actually seen a lot of diplomatic tension between russia as well as the dutch of the vessel was registered in the netherlands and two of the activists who were on board that vessel were also dutch the dutch have also russia to actually release the vessel as well as the activists but russia has since then since i said that that the dutch could. prevented what had happened with that the vessel they were notified once at
4:21 am
that vessel was approaching a russian arctic space and was to stop the vessel from approaching the oil rig of the dutch had not responded at that point by now has since responded by taking russia to the married time tribe you know to as it will the release of those activists it's been a case that the whole world is looking quite closely to see if indeed they will be charged with that hooliganism i think at this point russia wants to make sure that everybody knows that it's unacceptable to have anyone approach an oil rig in the middle of the arctic for safety of not only the people onboard that oil rig but also for the safety of the activists themselves this was not in the groups time that they actually wanted to border the arctic the part of me the rig in russia's rig in the arctic so it really is a russia saying being quite strongly saying that it will not be acceptable for people to go on behaving in this much in this manner it's ok to be activists and to
4:22 am
protest but to actually go on risking everybody's life including yours will not be tolerated back to you ari to buy more say thank you. for always so many more stories on our website r.t. dot com for example right now one anonymous group taking on another hackers in australia posting a video warning their counterparts in indonesia they could be facing an all out war and we get to the bottom of the spot at r.t. dot com. also while you're there check this one else president assad hands in a shopping list demanding he's given dozens of ahmed vehicles generators and field kitchens why does he want them. to ought to be thought com you can find out why you can also find out why an international community is more than likely to say no go. for now to libya we go where the government and some of the rebels who. repelled into power and now on

a collision course tripoli has given separatist militants in the country's east a ten day deadline to stand down or face the consequences a powerful warlord has set up a self-proclaimed autonomous region and taking over more than a half of libya's oil production with a shadow government in place and a private army to back it up the breakaway province is now planning to cash in by starting crude exports consultant mum to a solemn a puts the blame for the ongoing libyan crisis simply on that of foreign meddling. since the foreign intervention and leave leave be as oil production has there should be stopped now adays libi a is hardly able even satisfy the domestic consumption and against that background leave will be. told to be only an explorer for why while until this is their belief he is

4:25 am
riot police. ukraine's on the brink of joining a key trade agreement with the european union but tough admission standards of keeping the deal on hold for now however tension over the former soviet country shunning the russian led customs union is certainly escalating earlier in the program i discussed all of this with alex he's host of venture capital. they are indeed brewing these tensions and that's because we've had the latest report that ukraine has stopped by russian gas completely huge revelation considering that they rely on sixty percent. on ukraine so they don't need to buy russian gas now well apparently they've got enough to supply themselves with for this coming winter we know that ukraine rely on russia for the discounts he's got that's right house and all of this is because they have a choice at the moment of joining the russian led customs union or the. get their
4:26 am
face at the end of the month right you decided that the criteria economic analysts very quick to say ukraine is in no position to know absolutely will that's exactly what president putin is saying as well he's saying that in the short term they can't afford to get to their ambition of what they want to do the president of ukraine disagrees the population is pretty mixed as to where they want to go forty percent of all going towards the e.u. thirty five percent are going toward saying that the customs union as well is that it's all about these gas discounts as i say they need those because at the moment the economy is in trouble they just ended their third recession since two thousand and eight since the financial crisis in the post for you i agree with current account as well and it's all about their foreign reserves they've just been dealt three downgrades from the the biggest credit rating agency in ukraine to you know greece borrowing costs in our three year high so the question is can they afford
4:27 am
this now also the criteria that the e.u. has set in order for them to enter this is expensive because they would need to invest in infrastructure the president of ukraine has said that he doesn't see joining the e.u. is the be all and end all he doesn't see it as a breakaway he sees it as a bridge. all these could go to her a short while ago here on the program now as promised i'll leave you in the very safe hands of box cars or in what he does best beaming the spotlight on. but dark side of wall street life from moscow it sounds. exactly what happened that day i don't know but a woman i killed. piers later is when i got arrested for. for a crime i did not do. we have numerous cases where police officers lie
