this is coming to life from moscow hello and welcome to the program. profiled talks on iran's nuclear program ended with no deal last weekend but progress is being made on other fronts returns renewing diplomatic ties with iran appointing a new representative two years after an angry mob storms the u.k. and the same time iran. reports now from london. with another royal monday named new envoys to each other's countries that's seen as a continuation of this reestablishing of diplomatic ties and coming on the back of course of the meeting at the weekend in geneva. to rome's nuclear program you know by and large actually considering the u.k. of course traditionally a very staunch critic of around seemingly very confident in their wording that
8:02 am
there is going to be a deal reached 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 not successful we've seen the finger of blame pointed by saddam at that floaty attributed to the french foreign minister quite publicly making it known his concerns about the proposed agreeing to to avoid a fool's game now we've seen the u.k. and u.s. foreign ministers will be 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 basis saving exercise here and of course as we said you case certainly much more positive start surrounding the talks looking forward to november the twentieth when the. we've heard foreign secretary william hague saying that he is confident that
8:03 am
further progress will be made despite the failure of last weekend's talks being largely blamed on france the u.s. insists major powers were more or less united on agreement john kerry says it was iran that rejected the deal something toronto has denied and lord chizik the head of britain's parliamentary group on global security and nonproliferation says there's no point in playing a blame game. i do not myself think that it is sensible to blame anyone at this stage in a very delicate negotiation the french nor the iranians nor the americans that sort of blame game leads salut lino well clearly this is on a knife edge and i think there are a lot of reasons for hoping that a deal will be struck of course only at this stage an interim deal and i think one of the important things now is to do as little as possible to disturb the
8:04 am
atmosphere around the resume talks on the twenty eighth of november on monday iran agreed to lead the u.i. nuclear watchdog how broad the axis to its atomic facilities was supposed to barbara slavin senior fellow at leading us think tank the atlantic council she believes tehran's hopeful of striking a deal as soon as possible it's iran that's changed its attitude toward the talks most radically let's face it this is foreign minister zarif who came with a new proposal at the last round of talks and who is very serious about wanting to get an agreement for him for rouhani this is a second chance it's what we call a do over they didn't manage to improve iran's relations with the united states and get a nuclear deal the last time they were in power and i think they're determined to do it now causing a nuisance in britain could get you two years in jail or an unlimited fine if you

knew anti social norms of push through and it could apply to children as young as ten which is really worrying civil liberties groups let's not get more from point a boy. their point so being annoying become a crime in britain than. well anti social behavior a lot as or as bows as their short into here in the u.k. have been the brunt of many a joke for quite some time now namely because of the quite bizarre things that police have reprimanded members of the public for in the past now examples include a desk child being given and as both suspecting in the street or a thirteen year old girl being banned from saying the word grass for saying it too many times and homeless people getting as opposed to begging in the street but that's being replaced with a new injunction to prevent nuisance and annoyance which is called and for short now these orders require only that an individual might engage in behavior capable
8:06 am
of causing annoyance now the wording of this law is now much vega the punishment is much harsher it carries a penalty of up to two years in prison now i don't know about you but i personally know a lot of people both adults and children above the age of ten who can be extremely annoying at times and that is precisely the problem that a lot of human rights campaigners are having with this floor at the moment they say that the lines between simply being annoying which many of them will see as a fundamental human rights and being a criminal well those lines are now being blood and it's not just human rights campaigners that have taken issue with it police officers have been coming forward to say that they're worried that children are going to be needlessly criminalized with these new orders and also for them dealing with things that people deem to be nuisances well that's a royal nuisance for the police because they are going to have to divert their
8:07 am
