the first blast was caused by a suicide bomber and the second was caused by a car bomb explosion came just seconds apart leaving charred bodies strewn about on the ground there also being flames rising from several buildings aid workers as well as residents have been carrying the wounded in the dead on blankets to nearby buildings there have been hospitals that have been inundated with people of arriving you have ambulances that are still at the scene right now as we speak now the iranian embassy building itself was only lightly damaged but the iranian embassy compound has been extensively hit the area is a stronghold of the militant hizbullah group that has strong ties with the syrian president bashar assad and it's unclear at this stage whether or not the blasts are linked in any way to the syrian civil war but it's important to note that this area has been hit by similar such explosions in the past and at that time the blame was

put on rebels who were believed to have targeted this area because of iran's support for. in syria now the lebanese government has condemned the attacks it has called for an emergency meeting at the same time tehran's envoy to lebanon has said that he believes that israel is behind these blasts in the same comments are being made by the syrian information minister at this point in time there is a heavy has been less security deployment at all interested as to that compound in the dock here mabel heard in say in south beirut this is happening in a predominantly shiite neighborhood. and earlier we spoke to political analyst. who's in beirut who told us what he believes were the reasons behind that. i don't agree with the iranian ambassador who pointed his finger to the israelis it's true that the israelis are beneficiaries by the explosions but who perpetrated by. our

america's deadly drone campaign in yemen is shrouded in secrecy with relatively little information about the victims of that time but human rights activists say the majority of those killed during the campaign have been civilians at least fifty seven people including women and children are she's this account and of travel to yemen a village devastated by the u.s. war on terror. it says no faith for the one who has no trust but both are now in short supply in this part of yemen for months the class has been without its mouth teacher and this pupil without his father this is the big show about to charity i didn't ask. his name is still on the staff schedule but i leave hasn't been here since signing out of class on january twenty third the last the day the finality the father of three was killed by a u.s. drone alongside his twenty year old cousin salim a college student who drove them in a borrowed to yoda they picked up two strangers who turned out to be suspected al

qaeda militants witnesses reported a whirring sound in the sky then missiles struck their car. the smell of death was everywhere some of the bodies were burned beyond recognition the rest were ripped to shreds and scattered all around. i found a part of saleman side the car the rest was outside we only recognised him by a piece of his trousers you couldn't tell who was who if they were even human it was sickening. one drone change this sleepy farming village for ever less than an hour's drive from yemen's capital kabul lawn is far removed from al qaeda operations but without warning it was thrust into the war on terror. saleem's mother shows me where her son used to sleep she can't bear to get rid of his things although she knows she'll never return home. to help us i didn't understand until the next day that an american drone killed my son why tell me may allah deprive

them of their souls like they robbed us of our son he was the only one providing for this family all we have left now is our tears we only target al qaeda and its associated force and even then the use of drones is heavily can strike before any strike is taken there must be near certainty that no civilians will be killed or injured the highest standard we can set. accept there was a deadly failure yemen's interior ministry confirms the cousins had no links to terrorism in a country where tribal ties surmount all the loss was felt far beyond the family the white house has never acknowledged the deaths let alone the strike but mohamed shows me the evidence this is what killed them what's thought to be a fragment of a hellfire missile launched from a drone. the u.s.

believes this is its best weapon against al qaeda although not officially at war in yemen the covert drone campaign has been dramatically ramped up here under president obama. yemen's al qaeda threat is real it's plotted attacks on international airliners and caused hundreds of deaths the cia describes it as the most dangerous and active branch of the terrorist network the defense is that drone strikes have seriously damaged his ability to plan attacks but critic. hearsay is doing the exact opposite it does not. contain the growth of the first may have contributed to the growth and expansion of the other at some point that we can slug enough powerful enough to be able to inflict serious damage the u.s. war on terror has no borders often waged remotely with cruise missiles and drones it's an undeclared global battlefield in which yemen is just one of the front lines

of fight against groups like al qaida in which ordinary civilians also end up paying a price. i ask obama to bring my dad back to life all the kids at school have their fathers but we don't reporting in ca law on in yemen and lucy catherine of. lawmakers in washington are setting their sights on how to rein in bitcoin that's while the digital currency is hitting record highs coming up a look into what's pushing the wind in its sales and why the u.s. government is so willing to hold them down. talks over iran's nuclear program are set to resume tomorrow after a round of negotiations area this month failed to see what an agreement is row has been staunchly opposed to a deal along with frons saying any lifting of sanctions against iran would happen only if tehran gave up its program in a while russia's president has voiced his optimism that

a deal would be reached through aussies paul scott now reports. on monday at the initiative of russian president vladimir putin he and his iranian counterpart hassen rouhani had a phone conversation after which the russian president was quoted as saying that he believes there is now a real chance that iran and the international community can come to an agreement over the country's nuclear program an agreement that would eventually seeing the easing of sanctions on the country now the storm just opposition to that move is coming from israel who has strong support from france france of course are in the negotiating group in fact french president francois hollande has been in israel prior to those talks in geneva on wednesday but despite the documented differences after the first round of talks. optimism is shed by russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov you're the residual speculations of the positive shift we now see in negotiations over iran's nuclear program has only become possible because of

pressure coming from sanctions against it i suggest we leave it to historians to decide we as diplomats simply can't afford to be dragged into these meaningless discussions we now have a real chance to sign a solid deal and if we let speculation lead us astray we could lose this chance there are many who won't be very upset if the talks collapse once again which of also went on to say that tehran has agreed to two stipulations specified specified by france at those earlier talks that is to stop enriching uranium to twenty percent all together and to limit the amount of uranium enriched to three and a half percent so it does seem that ahead of wednesday's talks there is a real sense of optimism that there could be a breakthrough which could end this decade long standoff. and let's now take a closer look at the terms of a possible nuclear agreement international negotiators are demanding iran suspends uranium enrichment at the twenty percent level two hours also to limit the number

of centrifuges used and allowed broader monitoring of its nuclear facilities while powers would then agree to unfreeze summering in assets and the sanctions currently crippling iran's economy and last week the really prime minister warned his allies that the preliminary deal is dangerous but the policy director of the national iranian american council believes israel is against any agreement even if it favors its own people. this is actually very concerning for for israelis to see their prime minister going out and lobbying against a deal that would actually be in the interest of everybody in the region who doesn't want to see you on potentially have the ability to build a nuclear weapon that's what this deal does and what i think the problem here is is that benjamin netanyahu was never in favor of getting a deal he's more concerned with keeping iran isolated with advancing his own you

know geostrategic ambitions and that's the same case for the saudis so now they see that there's actually a deal on the table that would achieve the stated goal of putting measures in place so that we can verifiably assure the world that iran does not have a nuclear weapons program they're trying to undermine it. and coming up later this hour breaking the ice and the oxford sunrise controversy as far as more greenpeace activists had failed by a court in st petersburg and if you manage to have a special report on the international reaction and the latest info the one you're going to isn't hearing currently underway. on the show with all the technology keeping the most cool metro rolling the

and i get in this says come back the virtual currency bitcoin continues to hit new highs its value hake nine hundred dollars today almost ten times more compared to last year and they say has raised their eyebrows of u.s. lawmakers and prompted a special hearing on capitol hill many believe bitcoin is cairo getting value stems from wide support from within the u.s. as well she's casey peel them reports. a lot of this is because of what's been spoken about in the u.s. senate ironically in the last couple of days are they spoken about the fact that we see benefits industry including the bit coy as well as working towards tackling the risks that are involved with the the task of money laundering and drug smuggling but they did describe it now as a legitimate source of financing which is quite a huge chad is a change of changes there considering the u.s.

has been at the store just to criticize us of the coin as a result of that you just demonstrated how much we've seen it so i just want to let you know that if you had invested in the because two years ago if you'd invested a thousand u.s. dollars you'd be looking at three hundred eighty seven thousand today let's go back a year if you invested a thousand you'd be looking at seventy six thousand just over there's some investments going on we know it's incredibly to multiverse so the big white and that's because it is accused of illegal activities but at the moment it is a historical highs because of what the u.s. are saying which as i say is rather ironic with the u.s. congress sitting in science on how to clean bitcoins wings as well he's going to take our boards it seems they don't actually know exactly what they're scared. from us live foresman officials we heard about all the bad things related to virtual money we heard that cyber criminals love it drug dealers use it terrorists are looking into it child pornography is bought and sold with virtual money to direct

the treasury department's financial crimes and force my network even suggested that the stateless currency may have been created to facilitate illegal activity because it bypasses central banks and government regulations here's what the u.s. secret service said. while digital currency is may provide potential benefits they present real risks for the criminal and terrorist organizations trying to conceal their list of activity. digital currencies challenge law enforcement's ability to carry out our responsibilities to enforce the law and suppress criminal activity the chairman of the homeland security and governmental affairs committee asked what congress can do to help the agency's crackdown on what they described in such dark colors the lying force one official said they're good with the existing laws including the patriot act the language of which is broad enough to allow the agencies to go after the new players in the world of virtual money but they did say they expected the bitcoin and others providing money exchange services online to

report to the u.s. treasury and generally to comply with existing regulations like getting a money transmitter license and so on following the officials testifying in congress where the gentleman from the big foundation the chairman of the committee senator carper questioned them and at the end quote it albert einstein's wife mrs einstein who approach quite brilliant in her own right and. asked if she understood her husband's theory of relativity and she allegedly responded i understand the words but not the sentences so with regard to virtual currency it is fair to say the us congress understands the words but not sentences which is true for the public in general bitcoin users are not exact. the average consumer for now in washington i'm going to check up. on patrick mug trial counsel for the bitcoin foundation believes more regulation is not the right path for coins integration

into the controversial financial system if you are operating a big queen service company most likely you fall into an existing regulatory framework if you're building securities around calling then most likely that use of the protocol will have you regulated by the securities and exchange commission if you're using it as a money service then most likely your money service business those are highly regulated businesses and industries today so there's not a need for new regulation in the space it's just a matter of the service industry around big question being built up and integrating that into the traditional system so let's see how things turn out whether it's a currency or a payment network or both let's see how it shapes out a little over time before we rush to create new laws or regulations around this and there's always plenty online for you including the corporations with their wrong ideas what it comes to motivation stop. dot com and find out what frank's giving
