enrichment program at the moment it doesn't seem highly likely that there will be agreement on the rand particularly this week and this is largely because of the criticism by france at the moment the french president francois hollande is here in israel netanyahu has made it clear that he expects wants to keep up its criticism and its objection to the still france has already done this in fact last week when the earlier round of geneva talks happened it was fronts that largely prevented a deal from going through at that stage and what we've heard from francois hollande just yesterday sunday is that france will only give its nod to some kind of agreement with he ran it for conditions on mit's and these conditions he laid out as being number one that all iranian nuclear installations are put under international supervision immediately number two that enrichment is suspended to the twenty percent mark number three that all existing stocks are reduced and lastly that there was a halt of construction at the iraq plant so netanyahu and hollande sitting on the

not a black market transactions despite it too rapidly becoming the twenty first century money spinner washington still not sure it can be trusted as that she can reports there's around one point two trillion dollars circulating in u.s. currency compared to around three billion dollars in bitcoin so big corn is still a very small phenomenon but it's growing and very rapidly the value of a bit coin has increased ten fold since early two thousand and thirteen bitcoin bypasses government currency this is not subject to any regulations and at the moment the government is looking at it with suspicion citing concerns that the virtual currency is being useful facilitating illegal activity like drug trade. we've seen things like bitcoin and others these internet based currencies that are not subject to regulation or oversight and we're working very hard to look at how
7:21 am
we can counteract that. but bitcoins supporters are pointing to the fact that this new peer to peer payment system is being used in a widening variety of transactions corners for example are now actively chipping in to help the victims of the typhoon in the philippines the u.s. government and the u.s. federal reserve obviously canst the knives the rapid development of bitcoin and are right now thinking how to maybe incorporate bitcoin into the conventional money system possibly wishing to see bitcoin as more of a technological innovation rather than a truly stateless and independent currency. and here's how it works now to use bitcoins users create an online wanted item to find it with a digital code transactions can be process between users without any middlemen causing about financial institutions and governments and jeffrey tacos. make who

campaigns to free our global economic economics says there's no way the authorities can bribe it coming governments always like to control money they like to control the currency and frankly washington is starting to get a little panicked about bitcoin a year ago it was a laughing stock and the first start were. essentially they don't want anything that happens out of their control and it kind really just doesn't care actually it's a perfect currency. it is immune from abuse by governments and regulators no one controls it's purely a product of the international market of traders and users so in that sense because it is a revolutionary tool to free people from oppression from their nation states governments can try to control it but they cannot. now go back to why our top
7:23 am
stories now german lawmakers are debating the allegations that the n.s.a.'s extensive spying targeted to berlin let's now talk more on that with john gets a german investigative journalist who's been reporting widely on these spying revelations mr getz welcome to our seats nice to have you with us this hour so how unusual is it for they've been dystonic to call a session over something like that so can can we say that germany is taking it really seriously. indeed germany is taking it very seriously it's a very unusual thing for the in this target to have a special session about any man any topic at all and so yes indeed it is b. it is a very important issue it is being discussed in the coalition to go between the two parties that are trying to form a government now yes indeed right but it appears that germany has been one of the key targets for the u.s. and the u.k.
7:24 am
why is that well germany has been a target but it's also a player in the n.s.a. network one of the things that was learned through the documents from snowden is that much of the electronic espionage that was going on for example in afghanistan was carried out by the germans as part of an s. a. community sharing program. and you've also been to moscow while germany was new guy you say saying the assistance of edwin edward snowden in the probe of alleged topping on calls fun was helpful that. it was very interesting to meet with snowden in moscow it was. very interesting because of here his perspective on the on his situation and. yes it was very helpful. to actually any possibility for ed about snowden to test to find the
7:25 am
investigation given the fact he has no asylum in germany. well that's one of the things that's being discussed is the question of how to get input from the person who actually knows the most about the documents right now all of the documents are being kind of read and reported on by journalists who of course you know are doing their best are doing the best job they can but these are complicated things and it would make sense to get expertise i mean from the person that knows the system and the n.s.a. from the inside. it's not it is wanted in the u.s. which is germany's ally of course get to berlin is turning to him for help in its investigation is it a sign that he's revelations being officially acknowledged. yes
7:26 am
as a matter of fact i mean the interior minister and other leading people in the german government have acknowledged the importance of snowden's allegations i mean the fact that uncle americal actually called president obama about. the story about her cell phone was not just the basis of a newspaper story it was that basically the german authorities had found out that this was true so his would be the information i would call them allegations the information that he has. let the world know about through through the through the documents that he was able to secure have been very pointed are being taken very seriously by the german german government indeed. junk at say investigative journalist from the german public television and mr getz thank you very much indeed for us and we appreciate it thank you very much. and up next
7:27 am
a look at the u.s. they say with one of the highest murder rates in the country stay with us. there's now an all new form of humanitarian aid for the twenty first century created by members of the occupy movement this is nothing to do with hunger or homelessness but a different key problem in the so-called first world debt the rolling jubilee project has already bought around fifteen million dollars in personal debt for americans around the country most of the financial obligations that they bought were for medical bills and now the people who had to pay these bills are free from their burdens the group claims that the secondary debt market is very cheap and they are able to buy the nearly fifteen million dollars in debt for only four hundred thousand dollars the secondary market exists because banks try to sell consistently unpaid debt to third parties for less than
7:28 am
a nickel on the dollar right now i would be begging the rolling jubilee project to get rid of my college loans but alas this is always purchased anonymously so it's all pure luck who gets their debt purchased the important thing about this project is that they're actually doing something against an evil system instead of just blogging about it and although fifteen million dollars is a tiny tiny drop in the debt bucket it may have really saved the financial lives of many americans but that's just my opinion. with the new. policies to surprise people.
7:29 am
pleasure to have you with us here today i'm sure. that's part of the mission to transform the state juvenile justice system j.p.l. hold fairs to educate young people about how the law can affect the lives and a number of national studies have looked at the fact that when you take a child away from their community you take them out of school you take them away from any support system they're often housed in humane and brutal conditions rarely get adequate education or treatment you're disrupting their lives without actually providing them with any positive interventions are positive supports and so what happens is that upon release they're even less prepared to deal with society too often time in jail in the criminal record many youth find it hard to finish school .
