is our she coming to you live from moscow hello and welcome to the program high profile talks on iran's nuclear program ended with no deal last weekend but progress is being made on other fronts britain's renewing diplomatic ties with iran and appointing a new representative two years after an angry mob stormed the u.k. embassy in tehran. reports now from london. it's another round of monday names new envoys to each other's countries that seem is a continuation of the reestablishing diplomatic ties and putting on the back of course of the meeting at the weekend in geneva. to rome's nuclear program by and large actually considering the u.k.
10:02 am
of course traditionally a very staunch critic over on seemingly very confident in their wording that 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 with cool so useful oh absolutely not successful we've seen the finger of blame pointed by saddam out 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 foods 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 heard by some experts to be a basis saving exercise here and of course as we said the u.k. so certainly much more positive start surrounding the talks looking forward to
10:03 am
november the twentieth when the. foreign secretary william hague saying that he is confident that further progress will be made despite the failure of last weekend's talks being launched he blamed on france the u.s. so says major powers were more or less united on an agreement john kerry says it was a ron that reject a good deal something to iran has denied and lord how many of chizik head of britain's parliamentary group on global security and nonproliferation says there's no point in playing a blame game here. 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 no where clearly this is on the knife age 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
10:04 am
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 broad to access to its atomic facilities and 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 new sense in britain could get two years in jail or unlimited fine if new

antisocial laws are pushed through and it could even apply to children as young as ten which is really warring civil liberties groups ati's point of micro has more. anti social behavior as close as they shorten 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 very for spitting 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 for 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
10:06 am
of causing annoyance now the wording of this law is now much vaguer 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 campaign is on 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 deemed to be nuisances well that's a royal nuisance for the police because they are going to have to divert their attention away from fighting real crime and now another part of this draft bill
10:07 am
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. i 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 a. public protests which are deemed harmful to the quality of life for those living nearby could fall victim to this law that's just one concern for carry on mendoza a blogger and activist who's campaigning against is. attempting to do is give to police the also to make any lawful protest. because i quote this directly from the legislation may. always likely to cause nuisance
10:08 am
or annoyance as you can imagine the whole point of protest is to cause nuisance an annoyance is to get in the way to disrupt people in their ordinary daily lives so that you can have them focus on and otherwise ignore a ball issue which is really important what's even more unnerving about this piece of legislation is it also allows the police to there are people from what they call a locality locality hasn't been defined so it could be a city going to a country. nobody really knows and again with the intervention of a court of law. greenpeace activists are on the move in russia 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 trip our correspondent has followed their trials for the details are ahead.

a lead to our going security report says the country's intelligence services have abandoned and investigation into the alleged murder of civilians after the u.s. refused to cooperate seventeen man disappeared after being detained by american forces the bodies of ten were later discovered near a u.s. base that's now crossed live to. live there in washington d.c. hi there guys so what more can you tell us about this this story behind this leaked report that. right well first of all where the accusations come from the afghan translator who worked with u.s. special forces said the soldiers were involved in the killing of the group of afghan civilians seventeen men disappeared after being detained in u.s. raids in wardak in the wardak province between twenty twelve and february two thousand and thirteen bodies of ten of the men were found by residents in shallow graves within several hundred meters of where a u.s.
10:10 am
army special forces were based u.s. soldiers or. without and. afghan officials have repeatedly requested access to these u.s. soldiers were we've heatedly did night such access and of course without such access investigation can go no further u.s. soldiers are immune from afghan law but not for long as we know the immunity issue is the very stumbling block on the way to an agreement between the u.s. and afghanistan under which u.s. troops would stay in afghanistan past twenty fourteen and that's what the obama administration wants the same agreement that the u.s. want it to have iraq but had to withdraw because iraq refused to grant the u.s. further even unity from justice under the iraq iraqi law.

live from washington d.c. guy thank you very much indeed for that update where we shared. adoptive parents in the you want sorry hoping and want to children online an investigation has exposed an illegal underground market where vulnerable kids one hundred over to people who have been refused the chance to adopt. a marine upward i have found out the majority of four intruder in their. animal owners may be familiar with the term private re homey 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 that 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
10:12 am
internationally had opted 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 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 and the children are doing better perhaps and some of them are not so the risk is that it's not being
10:13 am
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 required 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 one thousand nine d. nineteen 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 one spins were doctored 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 upper nile r.t. . all of the dangers of online read how the men and ways to control it let's now go
10:14 am
live to really post from the organization against child trafficking post welcome to all c. it's great to have you with us how come there is no government control over adopted children changing hands and is it widespread please tell us more about all that well hello the issue is that. intercountry adoption when the children the arrive in the u.s. already europe is not considered a child protection measure it's a private matter between your doctor family and the child and nobody is following up so this is not an issue if close to. happening in the u.s. but also here in europe once the children are here it's a matter of the adoptive family there is no follow up and if there are any follow up reports sent to the country of origin and in this case russia these reports are written by adoption agencies or adoptive parents so it's not very independent or
10:15 am
objective yes i do all that sweeping online surveillance in the u.s. we're talking about why those adoption networks haven't been tracked by officials. because they're not monitoring it's only now recently some media and journalists have been monitoring and yahoo groups are you also are organizations against child trafficking also looks at those issues but officials are simply it's not their job they don't have this. is really kind of here is that. really posting here is yes ok fantastic and why did the majority of children why. why do the majority of children advertise on does that mean websites come from foreign countries that. because. their
10:16 am
children from foreign countries are not under the normal child protection measure if you adopt a child from u.s. foster care i can imagine that you as a child protection service are still the first while keeping an eye on that and people know where to turn to kill them from from foreign countries come from this this what we call the child market it's commercial agencies who are dealing with providing children to adoptive parents and there's absolutely no oversight at all right but do you know therefore. we are and are faced with problems they also don't know where to turn to. do you know if anything is they done to actually prevent this particular practice. well. at the moment of course there are all kind of ideas coming up in the u.s. about better supervision better training offered up their spare rooms but that's
10:17 am
really not to really solve the issue we have to understand that they're specially now that concerns many mostly older children and what they call special needs children those children go through enormous culture shock when they arrive abroad so there is a high high risk. from the organization against child trafficking and this post thank you very much indeed for your time we appreciate it . you're welcome thank you very much this is all see and still to come virtual money provides real help. 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 we talk to those making the digital currency bitcoin why patroller allowing donations to be sent peer to peer from anywhere to anyone that's ahead after this break.

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 there you've already got i'm on my boat find there's already people doing it corn payments for my ball 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 this is 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 in the future we'll see bitcoin advocates are determined to push charity as a use for the cryptocurrency it's peer to peer for months at
