world's attention to the ways that some gulag of our designs. recently restores diplomatic ties with iran despite world power struggle to reach a nuclear agreement with tehran israel and france say the proposed deal doesn't cut it also. you could go to jail because i find you annoying new legislation in the u.k. could impose hefty fines or even a jail sentence for simply being a nuisance. also this hour adoption to kids adopted in the u.k. are being we honed online by an underground market. it's never know who's going to . be there with you for kids and there's people out there everywhere which talk to a young man who narrative escaped tragedy after his online we had option.

international news live from moscow this is our she with me here national park thanks for joining us high profile talks on iran's nuclear program and it was no deal last weekend but progress is being made on other fronts regions reviewing diplomatic ties with iran appointing a new representative two years after an angry mob stormed the u.k. embassy in tehran. reports now from london. with another round of monday names new envoys to each other's countries now that scene is a continuation of this reestablishing diplomatic ties and coming on the back of course of the meeting this weekend in geneva over iran's nuclear program and by and
9:02 am
large actually considering the u.k. of course traditionally a very staunch critic of around seemingly very confident in their wording 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 not successful we seeing the finger of blame pointed by far the front that's largely attributed to the french foreign minister quite publicly making it known his concerns about the proposed agreement saying that he wanted to avoid a fool's game now we've seen the u.k. and u.s. foreign ministers would he 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've said you case certainly much
9:03 am
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 further progress will be made and despite the failure of last weekend's talks being largely blamed on fronts the u.s. insists major benighted on the greenland john kerry says it was iran that rejected the deal something toronto has denied and lord how have chizik they had of britain's parliamentary group on global security and nonproliferation so 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 absolutely nowhere and clearly this is on a knife age and i think there are a lot of reasons for hoping that
9:04 am
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 atmosphere around the resume talks on the twentieth of november on monday iran agreed to lead the u.n. nuclear watchdog how the broader access to its atomic facilities we spoke to barbara slavin senior fellow at the leading u.s. think tank the atlantic council and 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
9:05 am
do it now causing a nuisance in britain could get you two years and or an unlimited fine if new antisocial laws are pushed through and it could even apply to children as young as ten which is really a warring civil liberties groups point to point to has more. anti social behavior as close as they're shortened to here in the u.k. have been the brunt of many jokes 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 deaf child being given and as though for spacing 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 the 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
9:06 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 law 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 all those lines are now being 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
9:07 am
attention away from fighting real crime and now another part of this draft bill that's causing a lot of concern are public spaces protection orders which could theoretically be used to stop public protests from gathering now human rights campaigners of even launched a petition in part. meant because they say that this is the biggest threat to freedom of protest in modern history but i better go because i have been speaking pretty loudly in our news room and in case any of my colleagues think i have been too annoying i could be slapped with an now. let's discuss this some more with kerry and she's a blogger and activist campaigning against a bill kerri-anne nice to see you here on our c welcome so annoying and causing new sons appreciate vague terms to say the least so what exactly do the legislators mean here. well essentially what the attempting to do is give the
9:08 am
police. to make any lawful protest immediately illegal simply because i quote this directly from the legislation may has always likely to cause nuisance or annoyance and as you can imagine the whole point of protest is to cause nuisance and annoyance is to get in the way to disrupt people in their ordinary daily lives so that you can have them focus on an otherwise ignore bore issue which is really important and what this law does is actually then gives the police the author a teacher just in a moment declare that a process illegal people who then defy those orders won't be put in front of a magistrate or have any intervention by a court of law they will receive an on the spot fine of up to five ties and pines and potentially a prison sentence and what's even more unnerving about this piece of legislation is
9:09 am
it also allows the police to then bar people from what they call a paluxy locality hasn't been defined so it could be a city a county a country. nobody really lays out again with the intervention of a court of law so obviously anyone seeking i'm listening who has passed this is the the worst and scariest part of this is that the house of commons the democratic. the u.k. has already passed this rule the only thing that stands between it and the statue of the heist of lords who are debating it this afternoon i'm royalists and so we're all you know anyone with a with a stake in civil liberties and freedom to protest should be really alarmed by this and as you rightly point i equally children's campaign is the children's commissioner dr mackey kenson has also spoken out against this bill because essentially also criminalizes child. you know any children that could be paying out
9:10 am
industry could suddenly become subject to these orders and where they differ from those which are currently in place is that they don't only stop you doing things but they also introduce something called positive or big asians which mean they can make you do things so it could be you would have to report to a police station a certain time every day for any any of these things and with judicial intervention of any kind ok so i guess you believe that this legislation is dangerous but isn't antisocial behavior. that interests and needs to be scrapped and needs to be to be well actually people need to do something about it. well i think a lot has been done about it and a lot of these laws already exist we already have anti social behavior orders which have already been overused and abused by police forces that are just really seeking
9:11 am
to come down on people we've got the case in manchester where soup kitchen was banned by and. we've got homeless people there are having hours but he's applied to the. begging them becomes illegal if they're caught begging they go to prison or all receive a far and so it's not that anyone is underestimated the impact of antisocial behavior but we already have a raft of legislation in place to deal with these issues and actually this the attempt to rebrand this legislation is somehow dealing with antisocial behavior i think is a great leap and quite cynical one. politicians who are really after is to. avoid the impact of protest out of marches and of strikes which seek to challenge. the which is being meted out to people up and down the country right now i'm right
9:12 am
. carry on windows or live they carry on thank you very much indeed it's of for sharing your views with us thank you for having me on. greenpeace activists are on the move in russia and they have been sent to st petersburg to stand trial for trying to board a russian oil rig in the arctic and allegedly putting the crew at risk our correspondent has followed their trials the details are ahead. adoptive parents in the you are so we hoping and want to trigger an online investigation has exposed an underground market which organizes bypassing any government oversight vulnerable kids one hundred over two people who have been refused to chance the chance to adopt. and i found out the majority of foreign children back. animal owners may be familiar with the term private re homey

9:14 am
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 are quite up to that however that child got into your family we want the legal process 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

charity to get the possibility to have them for all you have to do to start thinking and make this possible use for is a mixed school and it's already being seen in uganda where supporters of using the calling for charities 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 that those behind the krypto

a family currently paid four hundred sixty dollars a year for health care would have to pay around two thousand dollars making you pay even more for your war injuries apparently that's what obama is actually planning well he is reading those lovely speeches off of teleprompters people who are against the post nine eleven war against who knows what are often told that they don't support the troops well to the people who say bring the troops home never advocate tripling their health care premiums no they don't all of the chicken hawks who send the troops off to die in questionable wars are the ones who want to make them pay even more for their injuries but that's just my opinion.
